I guess I need to reflect, on the way I've been handling things.
Feeling terrible.
Cuz today, I almost puked twice (in the water)
And I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Like really couldn't breathe.
Like REALLY.
And I hate to go first and draft.
So after training ended,
I felt like I didn't train at all.
I'm swimming again, tmr.
Cycle, I hope.
There goes my hall swim training on thurs. There's hall supper.
Wed I hope to run with the bi team.
Just hope we don't do hills.
Tjband is still quite love!
The 2 best solos I like from our alumni concert is jiebao's tenor sax solo in american graf and zu xian's sax one in fascination!
I think I should be studying. 25 mcqs!
I was number EIGHT! :)
Somewhere, almost, near the cool ppl. Not THAT far! :)
ANYWAY. I haven't jumped into a pool since THURSDAY. You know what? It feels SO LONNNGGG. Weird.
HELP I'M GROWING FAT. Have been gorging on food for no apparent reason since last week. UH OH! This time round I've no 21km to help me cut the fats! Shucks.
Also, I dunno where else can I cycle! The roads around NTU sounds very scary to me actually. Cars plus backward-fall-inducing slopes. I think I'll cycle on the trainer instead first. How boring. On a happier note, I feel more confident getting up on a road bike! Last time it'll involve alot of squealing and being afraid I'll fall etc. Tt day I even took my sis' bike for a small ride around the carpark while waiting for her to get out from the car cuz she was taking super long for whatever reason.
I think all captains are like super smart! Puifan's a Nanyang scholar! (!!!!!) and Roderick's like RI RJC (!!!!) and Eunice last time gpa 4.8 dean's list etc (!!!!!) and bekky's equally smart and so's lance. AHHHHH. Alot of respect and admiration here haha.
25 mcqs later.
yay guess what!
SUNIG IS OVER! I RAN MY 6KM! I WASNT THE LAST!
So I clocked a timing of 27.48! :)
I feel so encouraged!
I know I can do better the next time!
So I shouldn't be so afraid of running!
I was 4th for NTU's team! Sis was 1st, 2nd was the other fast ntu girl eileen. 3rd n 4th were NUS ppl, 5th was bekky! 6th was zhiyun? den i dunno alr den me somewhere after! I overtook all who was within sight of me. Haha. I think after the first fast ppl there was quite a big gap den I came in!
I REALLY THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH! WITHOUT HIM, I REALLY DUNNO HOW DO OTHER PPL SURVIVE!
Jumping jupiters. I will do better next time. The thought tt kept going through my mind was "since when was running ever easy". Yeah, so just keep going! 6km was pretty not that long. First time I had a proper warm up before a run cuz it was the first time competing!
AND I realise sis and me were on the same team for the first time! AHAHAHHAA! Do we really look that alike. When we went to register at the boothe, the person was like 'are u all sisters?!' and she seemed like so incredulous. dots.
But I'm a happy girl anw. So yay, ppl won't say 'Oh why your sis so slow' cuz I'm not THAT slow! :) But still, my 3km would be 14mins and not 13!
NEXT UP, it's time to cycle and breastroke! NOW, okay, no worries, leave them all to God yeah :)
I swam for 20mins yest, ran for 30mins and biked a little bit! All at different times of course. So I went down to the bike shop to get fitted onto my bday present from my sis. I tried it out up and down along the halls 12 13 14 15 stretch in the evening! Pretty cool I must say! although I don't understand the gears. I can't wait till SUniG is over tmr and I don't have to worry so much about legs. It sucks. To always gotta worry about legs. Then I can CYCLE CYCLE CYCLE!
SO THANKFUL. and so funny too. We have trainings on Mon Wed Fri, and guess what, did u realise this week, Mon rain, Tues sun, Wed rain, Thurs sun, Fri rain! So, I didn't get any sun! Except for thurs' short short swim. GREAT MAN!
Today didn't swim. It was pouring. So I went the multi purpose hall for the first time and we did some exercises! Only had the hall 2 peeps, sue chee, me and 2 others not hall ppl. Sis fetched me back and am trying to finish the many projects now. Aunt just cooked and brought over mee goreng. Tuition later and am counting down to my doom tmr morn. 6km sounds LONG.
I didn't know you could edit so much settings on comments! Haha! Anyway! We set up a
blog for ac213! (Click on the word 'blog')
Swim.Run.Cycle.
Excited! like VERY! But super nervous too!
So much for being roasted. On Monday it was perfect weather, CLOUDY! On tuesday (when there wasn't training) it was HOTHOTHOT. Today was RAINRAINRAIN. The water was uber warm and nice though. I couldn't take it when we were like getting ready to plunge, the wind was BLOWING!
We had celebrations for Alex's 21st bday today tho. Those adm peeps in the swim team are cool beans! Desmond drew SUCH A NICE CARD. and I mean REALLY nice. We had pizza, cake, oldchangkee, chips! Wheee!
School seems pretty quiet and deserted and I bet today's sunset was very nice too altho I didn't manage to catch it. I've a whole bunch of new clothes today from both the swimming packages, plus the running one. Me and sis got identical everythings! Plus she bought some identical speedo swimming costume during the weekend. Plus we're both wearing silver caps now. How funny. Oh, I think cool ppl wear silver caps -- sis, bekky, roomie n ME! wahaha.
Jelly legs sinking into the water. I feel a sense of dread and doom and gloom.
So the friday was a woke up late, 1030-1230 test, gave up on paying at office of finance due to long queue altho I climbed all the way up to the highest point of the west area. Swam instead. Quite a rubbish swim but like I said met many ppl! Leewei, pamela, lance, n willy! (someone I got to know) 5th time in the pool for the week. I was slacking pretty much. Came back and showered and had to leave to pay bills where posb was too long queue, ocbc bank closed, I attempted office of finance again -- closed. Thus, I gotta pay $10 more for late payment. ARGH.
Went for a very rubbish NAAT training session. Which was a waste of time and I quite wanted to fall asleep. Followed by NIE band where we played nice happy songs, I almost died from out-of-tune-ness by the saxophone beside me. And where we had SUBWAY COOKIES! I love my tjband snrs. Without them I'll prob not have joined anw haha. Dad fetched me at like 1am again. And I was speeding away at 110km/hr (very fast for me considering it's 4th time on the roads!) SO SCARY OKAY!
SATURDAY. 10-11 Hannah and Adel, 1115-12 Kulvin, 1230-115 Rachel, lunched at tpy where I discovered the ban mian coffeeshop ACTUALLY underwent renovation. Realised I havent been there for like THAT long. YUMMMYYY BAN MIAN! 230-430 Yiling. church 5-7 and got home by 730 where I was persuaded by the rest not to run but eat dinner early instead. NEXT TIME REMIND ME NOT TO LISTEN TO THEM.
SUNDAY. I knew it. I refused to get out to run although it was SO HOT and I woke up at my set alarm time of 6am. But you know, I hate to run in the morning. So, 930-630 straight. I had a hotdog bun today! I came home to run in the end. I ran around my estate area. 30mins, then I came up to shit (really couldn't take it already) followed by another 22mins. Really nervous abt sat's run :( First time in a comp where it matters =X
I gotta reach school to get toasted from 930-1130 tmr. Seriously, we're gonna be TOASTED ROASTED COATED in black. Followed by project meetings galore everyday. Not till thursday will I be free to even start on revision for tests the following week. And then it'll be 2 days to the weekend which will be burnt away again.
It's my roomie's bday TMR! Sadly, we're unable to appear at her doorstep and invade her premises this year plus eating her yummy food. Besides calling her house n hanging up because we didnt know what to say, not knowing she has a caller id. But I hope she had great celebrations in every other way and us being band peeps (always late plus last minute plus belated belatedS) we'll have a smashing bashing fantastic time THIS SATURDAY!
SO! Till then, here's wishing my roomie an early VERY HAPPPYYYYY BIRTHDAYYYYY! 20 YEARS OLD! May you grow more muscles and become STRONGer, swim like a fish, and run like the wind :)
You must have had the intention to ruin lives that's why you had children right?
What do you do when you're feeling sad?
Sit on the floor and stuff grapes into your mouth.
I knew it, I was too lazy to wake up to run this morn!
BUTBUTBUT, I'm meeting my sis in 1hr to SWIM! (wooohooo!) Just hope I don't peng during tonight's training. Already my amrs are like lethargic and heavy and all. But I'll just be stroke correcting and learning how to better utilise plunging later on! :)
I am rather physically tired out. Arms are achyyyyy. And improving 200m breastroke by 10s in 1 month sounds close to impossible for me :(
On a happier note, I like how when I head to the pool on my own, I always meet ppl I know! Last week met valmond, leewei, pamela on tues and bekky on fri! Today met lance and corinne (how to spell). haha yay so fun.
Gotta attempt 2 rounds around school in the dark later :(
So sad ever since the start of school, haven't been in the same pool, or run on the same track as my sis! How horrible. So jealous leewei actually swam in the same pool once! Haha.
Okay, I gave up on my 2 rounds. Shall do it tmr morning instead. I NEED to! :( 6km on 27th sept.
Last week was the worst week of my life. This week is turning out to be much better. Probably cuz nothing could've gotten as bad as last week.
BUT, also life with/without God makes all the difference I tell you. Seriously. When I always think I can make it on my own strength, cuz everything's going so well, that's when pride creeps in and I happily float away. Things happen for a reason and I can happily declare 'You are my King, You are my God, the praises I bring, comes from my heart!'
Today's training was particulary good :) Coupled with the fact tt I met more ex-PAYSC ppl and they actually remember me! Makes me feel happpppY! Trainings are getting tougher and tougher, but getting to know the ppl is pretty cool :) I'm just trying to keep up, and the encouragement the rest give is great :)
Like I said, it makes me hAAApppYYY! I don't wanna lose my momentum tt came with AHM too tho. Run! But swim swim swim! :)
Multi vitamins are ewwww.org. I am actually very exhausted.
Yesterday was the first IBG I actually participated in. hA-ha. Track! Ran 4x400 and 4x800. Didn't know sprinting 400m could make my butt muscles hurt. The swim ppl were saying it's build up of lactic acid. BUT nobody could say why at the butt! Valmond joined today too! So was pretty fun. I'm slow. Just that yesterday there wasn't the fast ppl there like the road relay girls, lucia and jucintha (how to spell?) and my sis. haha.
I think, I like swimming :)
Now, to get on with my school work!
Sometimes, I can be such a disappointment :(
Breastroke 50m: 44s
Freestyle 50m: 38s (!!!!)
Tmr is time trials for 100m! *faints* Freestyle is so disappointing.
I gotta work harder, swim faster, run faster, teach better, study harder, present better.
Ayeeeeeeee. It dOEs get a little tiring.
On a more exciting note, I'm AT LAST gonna meet up with eugene and kenneth! :) At J.P.! Wahahaa. And hopefully, start cycling too!
I gotta learn to be more independent eh.
ALSO, sis won for her cat in AHM AND nike human race! And hence I got a free ipod nano, (bro has a free ipod shuffle through his work!) and a free nike sportsband! and nike vouchers! I think she should just go race every week and get more stuffs for meeeee! :)
Sometimes I do need a reminder:
Jocelyn means joyful in latin!
