Today, all of us were so tired, we all were stoning during aa202 class.
Haven't had good sleeps lately. It's like, I keep waking up at 7+am regardless of what time I sleep. And this morning I woke up at 5+am because it was raining, thundering, pouring. Haven't woken up at that time of 5.40am since those days relief teaching! But I went back to sleep obviously.
Days do seem to be long.
I need to run later.
My cycling is horrendously lousy, especially when I'm tired :(

Yay my sis is coming back in ONE HOUR'S TIME!
Why must it rain!! Like just when I was planning to cycle!! Urgh.
Rachmaninov's piano concerto no. 2 is really nice.
Nodame Cantabile anime part 2 is OUT!
I'm never eating again.
I'm really so full I wanna puke.
I'm now a serial ant killer.
I am getting good at formatting the many projects and it's quite fun to design cover pages and logos, except I'm not very artisitic and good at it haha. But I did put in the effort if they would like to use it.
I'm like on my laptop constantly! Left one more individual project part! and two more presentations to prepare for! Go go go!
The sports world is really different from the music world. I think I can't do without both. And the lack of one makes me crave it. And so I seem to be on some constant craving for either at any one point of time. ha-ha. Pictures.
I don't need constant companionship. Or do I?
What a day it has been!
And so, thanks to my very nice bro (sense the sarcasm here) he pangsehed me and so I had to cab to esplanade costing me $6.30!! I mean, this is the WORST way possible to get to city hall. I could've asked dad or left earlier to take mrt if he told me earlier! Like what the!
And then apparantly I went to the starting line not knowing the baggage area was elsewhere and had to do a whole ton of walking. Before realising sis didnt purchase the baggage tic thingy and didnt tell me not to bring baggage! Really wanted to just dump my bag somewhere lorh. But went to pay $3 to get the tic thingy. And reached the starting point like with 5mins or less to spare and NO WARM UP. Horror of horrors. The fast ppl were really fast. Freaky.
The beginning of the run was spent doing some cross country. Running up and down the side pavement, on the VERY uneven grass patch, trying not to trip over mounds of swept up leaves by the roadside. As you can see, overtaking by the side of the road makes the path NOT very smooth. So, I think I successfully overtook everybody in my path. (Including jina! i was secretly happy altho I think something happened to her hahah)
The route was quite dots. I felt like I was running in circles which I probably was. The nicest part was running towards the end, at the ndp area! Big wide open straight empty road, not for car travel so no exhaust, and beside the nice river! Perfect cloudy weather, no hint of sun! :) I wasn't really jogging, I wasn't really sprinting. Treated it just as a morning jog!
Quite irritated cuz I realised I didnt start that strange stopwatch I was wearing. So dots. Didnt know my timing till I finished the line at 55mins! Quite okay with my timing. But I must say Great Eastern is quite efficient. The results are out alr! I did a 52.58 at the end of the day! Pretty happy after all :) I shall try harder next time.
I seem to have tried alot of ways. Drinking 100plus after. Eating a bun after. Not eating. Not drinking 100plus. Drinking water. Eating banana. I conclude, that feeling of terrible-ness kicks in after every morning run like 20mins after I'm done. But I guess not drinking isotonic and eating a little something helps quell it better. But still doesn't prevent it! Get used to it girl!
I think the next time I'll try the change shirt thingy. Maybe it's cuz I stay in my sweaty top for too long.
11 more weeks at the piano studio! Gotta find more sources of income! Like soon! Any high-paying tuition lobang or piano kids let me know okay!
Time to sleep.
God's mercy never fails!
All for love the Father gave,
Only love can make a way
All for love the Heavens cried
For love was crucified
Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
Still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me
Everything I need is YOU
My beginning my forever
Everything I need is youu
Let me sing all for love
I will join the angel song
Ever Holy is the Lord
King of Glory King of ALL
Everything I need is YOU
My beginning my forever
Everything I need is youu
It's race day again tmr!
I think I'm gonna get used to this :)
But as much as I wanna take a proper 10km timing, tmr's not gonna be the one :(
Cuz I'm like totally unprepared.
Haven't ran since uh last week.
And without any proper shoes.
Without proper food.
Feel a little lost on my own again also.
Next week's OSIM corporate tri's gonna top my list of most hilarious race tho.
Aye I'll just complete it.
I hope.
Time to sleep!
And there goes my entire weekend,
like again.
ab214 was a waste of time today.
We just sat there and talked.
Although I think I'll miss my new-found friends there.
Especially Candice's nonsense and ability to constantly self-entertain.
So one of today's topics included: If I could think of one word to describe you.
And for me, she concluded "dead".
haha.
Yes, I was feeling like THAT.
But swimming does me a whole load of good :)
Just when I was about to start my next sets on 50m sprints, my watch died. The battery ran out! :(
The sun is shining now, just when I bathed and sat down.
Like how terrible.
I can't run, I can't cycle, just when everything's good and nice.
I've a WHOLE LOAD OF SCHOOL WORK TO CATCH UP ON.
I'm starting to feel the pressure cuz exams are like in 2 weeks.
STUDY!
Sigh, it has been a terrible morning thus far.
Old Chang Kee chicken nuggets are not nice at all, never buy them.
I hate the feeling of tiredness when u've had a late night, few hours of sleep, and when you walk around, just sorta feel that tiredness all over your body. Sucks especially when u've a lonnnngggg day ahead and u know exercising or studying or doing work won't be very productive.
Sigh.
Now, it's not only 42.195km, but Great Eastern's 10km this Sunday, the corporate OSIM tri is confirmed on, and so we're going next Saturday. And then this full marathon. I feel a little screwed.
I gotta snap out of this stone mood.
I'll train hard for tonight's swimming sets.
I will force my legs to stop going on strike.
I will stop eating 24/7.
I will do my best.
But first, urghhhhhhh!
Today was not so productive, with not very productive project meeting sessions.
I gotta get back on track!
Literally also.
Last night I wanted to sleep at 11pm. Apparently I woke up at 12am, to alot of noise coming from ppl playing captain's ball downstairs AT THIS TIME?! Usually, if I was up studying I wouldn't care. But I was trying to sleep. And so I became one of those irritating ppl n went to call campus security 24hr hotline. haha! Not bad, quite efficient.
i JUST gotta blog before I start on my aa201 project.
Today was a happy day cuz I met quite alot of ppl in and around school today! Funnily, I met jy like 5 times I think. I quite like walking around school these days. I dunno why, but knowing ppl makes a whole load of difference! And it's hard to walk from canB to S4 without meeting someone you say hi to :) Well, apart from the fact that I spend like 6-7hrs in school almost everyday. More than half the time it's NOT for lessons.
Anyway, today I poned my first useful lesson ever since in NTU. Skipped aa201 in the morning cuz it was 830, I slept at 230, I have yet to practise ab214, haven't even TOUCHED aa202, and I gotta like iron formal clothes etc. SO, I spent the first hour of today talking to myself, and drinking loads of water. I guess practice DOES pay off. aa202 was uh okay I guess. but our tutor said our ab214 was good! Really surprised though. Haha but everything went smoothly :)
Screw the rain! It screwed up my running plans. I hate drizzly prickly rain. Sucks. Hence there goes my sleep tmr morn. I gotta run. I can't wait for this week to be over, seriously.
I'm a growing fat lumps of lard. I have 47 days to get myself in shape to run for 5hrs straight. I didnt finish what I set out to swim yesterday. I will never eat again. I feel dehydrated even though I've been drinking tons of water.
On a more interesting note, talked to Vivien online. Haven't had much chances to talk to her in the past few years. Well, just couldn't help feeling like things are so long ago. Like, well, it's still the same. Somehow her opinions always makes ALOT of sense in my point of view. And like, she was talking abt teaching oboe to sec sch kids. Can't help but think how after so many years, she's still like the same Vivien I first knew. The one who taught ME how to play an oboe as well, back then when I was a small sec1 kid. Except then, she was only sec 2 haha.
Yeah working with kids. Somehow I've gotten quite tired of teaching, such that I seem to have forgotten the universal teacher's rule of 'learn a new thing every week'. I'm quite motivated to start that all over again with my kids. Not just learn a new song every week, but more of technique or skill or musicality. I miss playing my piano. I think I've forgotten how to play Chopin and Mozart! AHHHHH! It's been like ONE MONTH I think since I played it. Shucks.
Motivation HAS To come back. And as the end of this sem draws near, it makes me wonder, what happened to my studies as first priority as I mentioned before this sem started. But looking back, it's one of my busiest and most satisfying sems ever in uni. I think I'm learning how to manage everything. Relationships, people, studies, work, sports, music. A good balance I would say except I could do less of the workking part and more on the studying part.
I'm lagging tho. I gotta feel a sense of pressing! Keep going! :)
Today's swim was. Weird. I think I've lost the ability to push myself hard. Or lost the ability to feel tired.
For once when I had so much company to walk back to hall, I wasn't walking back to hall. Roderick was on his way to hall 3 to pass them the catalogue. (Like all the way just for that!!??) And marcus was going back hall from dinner I think. But no, I had to trudge all the way to the top of this mountaineous region known as hall 11 to candice's room to do ab214 project till unearthly hours :(
I'm gonna read up more and learn how to swim properly! :)
At last, I think I'm moving on.
Some pictures from IVP! In some random order cuz I'm too lazy to arrange them properly.
Monsters unite!
From left, Qing Xiang, this guy who's so amazing I get so excited just watching him swim! Cuz he just flys by n overtakes ppl!! Then songloo (very fast too!) roderick (captain!) n wei shing (funnyyy)
Qing Xiang,Kerby, Bernard (pamwam's bf!), XianRong (i think his fly is like damnnn fast!)
YAY the beloved NTU swim team after our very nice meal at TPY's crystal jade! :).jpg)

Cycled 1hr on the trainer on Monday. I almost died of boredom.
Ran 1hr around track on Tuesday.
Today is bi training!
GROWL.... You know with my timings, if I swam in the Jan IVPs, I would've gotten two 3rd placings! :(
PLUS Yiming was telling me how in A division the girls are damn slow! :(
I shldnt've stopped swimming ARGHHHHH... I shld've swam in JC...
Now I remember why I wanted to go st. nich's so badly. cuz 1) there's MEP 2) it's all girls school 3) their swimming's good. for tkgs it was non-existant swim team.
Why did I join in a year where there're crazy fast ppl like sandy n grace! :(
DAY 2
I woke up early at 6+ and only got up at 7am. Reached the bus stop at 7.40+ and sat waiting for some time before I realised I forgot to bring my swimming costume so I ran all the way back home and to the bus stop. Thank goodness I didn't miss the bus. So I reached around 8.05am and only managed to swim a little before having to get up n over to the other side to swim.
The poor guy from first event 200m guys free heat 1, apparently the timer was faulty so he didnt get a timing. Sad cuz he was already the ONLY one swimming. Even sadder still cuz didnt get a timing! Subsequently there was some close to 1hr break while waiting for them to get the timers to start working. After that, decided can't be started, so will have to use stop watches instead. Strange they didn't use both to begin with. Then had to begin the whole long process of finding stopwatches. And there wasn't enough for 2 per lane. Even worse still, today's events were all 50m so u can imagine reaction time plays such a crucial role! But as there wasn't much anyone could do, the verdict was passed that all decisions on results will be agreed upon.
In the meantime, I went back into PAYSC room with hannah. Looking at the gym stuffs where I first started gyming on like 9 years ago. Aye. So long ago. The room seems to have shrunk alot. I think, I grew. Besides the fact tt they cordoned off one area for the coach. And then I slept for a while. The UV rays are super harmful. Both to the eyes and to the skin! So tired of squinting at the bright glittery waters.
50m breastroke. With a timing of 41.85!!! :) :) :) that placed me as 6th! :) THAT, was my actual aim. My actual aim for 100m was 1.32 but I did a 1.31! As for 200m, I had no idea and just hope to get below 3.30 or 3.20, but 3.21's fine with me :)
I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM NOW A QUALIFIED IVP-ER :)
Seeing that I managed to hit all the crazy timings for all 3 events for the fake qualifyings and also the real ones! :) :)
Altho I am a littleee disappointed with the almost 3rd place, the 100m relay which I can't sprint and the mixed relay which we got 4th haha. ah well........
But it was so fun and exciting. Since today was like 50m, less long n dreary and boring. With all the relays which was like SO COOL! NTU guys were like power houses and got 1st for BOTH medley n free! But medley was cuz smu dq-ed. Dunno why. They were dq-ing ppl like free lidat. Thank goodness no NTU ppl dq! Qing Xiang is like so amazing! AH i think all the guys r just so cool! look at them so power! and amanda toooo! She was like poWER.......
THe jumping blocks were like baking and SUPER ULTRA HOT I TELL U. That the lifeguards were nice and going around splashing water with pails.
NTU GOT SECOND OVERALL!! It was funny, how the nanyang chronicles guy came to interview us yesterday! So funny!
You know, I love NTU's swim team! :)
Hannah was saying how she misses swimming. How when she goes into the water she doesn't wanna come out and she just feels so happy. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. I don't wanna come out after every training. I wish I could be in there swimming forever. Yanni was also saying afterwards how she misses training. And how all of us wanna go for training again. Me especially so. But I don't think I can cuz I'm too slow altho I wanna be faster. Aye.
After the relays ended, we jumped into the water and altho it was like 1+pm and the sun was blazing hot, I just couldn't get enough of swimming in the water, swimming at tpy, swimming at that pool. That I just kept swimming! And most of our ntu peeps were inside too! :)
CONGRATS TO ALL WHO GOT MEDALS PLUS CLOCKING PBS! :)
We had a supER YUMMY meal at crystal jade afterwards. DAMN FULL I TELL U. It was a breakfast cum lunch cum dinner. NEVER had such a yummy meal before haha rocks. THey got super cute floats for our wonderful captains!
tjband might be love, but,
SWIMMING IS JOY :)
JOY!
pure joy.
but I guess all good things come to and end, it's time to study now.
DAY 1 IVP SWIMMING 2008
I woke up at 7.10am, and reached tpy pool at 8am! Great to stay so near huh haha. Yesterday, I decided to don't care abt my results, and to ask Prof Ho if I could leave earlier from NIE band. Funny thing was, I met up while going up the lift at NIE. So I asked him on the spot. BUT later, when I left, he had to announce to the whole band where I was going! He said something like "she's representing ntu for swimming competition tmr" and I just wanted to faint and die!
So, dad picked me up at 9.30pm from NIE and I drove all the way back, speeding at up to 110km/hr again. I think I'm getting better at navigating those turns haha. Speeded such that dad was saying why am I speeding like kor. (Bytheway I think that's a compliment haha) So I reached home at 10! Besides that, a miracle happened. Was worried I won't be able to sleep. But I prayed to God, and I really can't remember much what happened after. I couldn't even remember finishing the prayer when the next thing I knew, my alarm was ringing real loud.
ANYWAY. 8am there were already a TON of ppl warming up! NTU was smart n took the side instead of the stands where it wasn't so hot since the sun rises on tt side of tpy comp pool. I only swam like 300m? Before we had to get out for 1500m to start.
SO, it felt normal, swimming in the pool which I swam in for 2hrs everYDAY. And not having been in there, for uh 8 years. Apparently polo pool was used for polo training, and the public pool was out of bounds unless u pay. Like how dots. So in the end, we walked one big round to the main entrance to ask the lifeguard if can go through. After saying cannot cannot cannot but I'll let u go. Like dots. And we saw some ppl climbing through PA's room window to get to the other side haha!
Did some warmup before going back. I was in lane 1. So I did a 3.21! :) And I got a 5th! Amazingly, I wasn't THAT tired such that I couldn't do a pull and kick at the turns. I was scared I would DQ since I did a little fly kick when pushing off the last one. LATER, everyone told me I COULD'VE GOTTEN THIRD! cuz 3rd n 4th was 3.19 something. And apparently, at the last turn, I touched before them. ARGH! If I knew it was this close I would've die die gone all out. But I think I can't sprint lorh serious. The faster I try to sprint, the slower I am. So weird. But still quite happy larh. 2s IS quite alot. And the first person from the first heat got 3.21. something which is like slower than me. So phew I just scraped by a 5th anyway :) Also, I swam faster than JINA WOO! (wahhaha!) AND, I don't feel THAT bad cuz Roderick got 5th for 200IM n he also missed 3rd n 4th by 2s! So.... I'm not the ONLY one..... Legs felt like I really choinged after I came up. It felt used! :)
They at last decided to let us use the other public pool and open the gate for us to swim haha. Had a long wait subsequently where I ate 2 pieces of chocolate chip bread and a banana! I do feel honoured tt Roderick bought CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD altho my wonderful first suggestion of chocolate bread brought looks of '???!!!'. oops haha. Altho I think actually it's cuz there was nothing else. But u must agree tt the bread was yummmmyy! See, I've good taste!
Warmed up a little again before it was all over again, 100m breast. This time round, I did an all out. And I got 6th I think, with a timing of 1.31! Happy with my timing! :) So not bad not bad :)
Hardly warmed down before it was time for 4x100m relay. Peishan's mom came to find me. I was pretty surprised. And she was the one who pointed out tt our 4x100m team is a PAYSC team haha! Sis, me, priscilla n hannah! But all of us not sprinters n long time nv swim! SO, somebody's wonderful idea for me to go last. Like hello, I canNOT sprint! :( But it was fun to be on the same team as sis who swam first. Apparently we were in the 3rd position, but left last swimmer as me pitted against all the fastest swimmers including jeanne, not surprising, everybody zoomed by me! ayeeeeeeeeee. haha. but it's like HUH HOW TO SWIM 100M FREE! like totally UNprepared. And was super achy after that 100 swim!
BUT NTU DID NOT BAD NOT BAD! Currently, we're 114 points, 3rd place, 1 point behind NYP! Hope tmr we'll do better! Left 50m breast, and relay 50m free (sigh not again...) But on a happier note, sis had to leave early cuz of her sportswoman award thingy, SO I GOT TO TAKE HER 2ND PLACE MEDAL FOR HER! so funnyyy! but yay I had the chance to go up there wahahha.
Afterwards we all went to fork n spoon to eat lunch!
Even as I stood up there, n the familiar take ur marks, I didn't feel the same queasiness and dread as it would've been had I been at the track doing a run instead. It's not the same. And I'll miss the pool, badly. Only one more year with internship ARGH.
But even so, it kinda confirmed again, how this is all so individualistic. How I can miss some of my team mates events cuz I was warming up or down. How when I stand up there ready to plunge, it's me, all on my own. No one can help me swim this but me. But it was nice, to know everyone was cheering for me, cuz I almost got THIRD. (AHHHH!) But come to think of it, I only really started training breastroke like for only 1 month plus! GIVE ME MORE TIME! I wanna do it again.
SWIMMING is love :)
Aye, I'm getting very worried about tmr. All the visualising, makes my heart beat like crazily mad.
Doesn't help that I dunno why I'm so tired. I slept late, woke up at my usual time (hence lack of sleep) and somehow didn't have a good sleep.
Bad,
cuz tonight I'll reach home late n super tired after NIE band, plus probably find it hard to sleep cuz of all the anticipation. And then, next day is early morn, second event.
AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The following are just my thoughts.
WELL WELL WELL.
It's IVP Swimming this weekend at TPY pool.
To some, it might be yet another competition.
But to me, I feel it's like a great big honour just to be able to SWIM at IVP.
I haven't swam in the tpy competition pool since I was 11 years old.
I'm not expecting anything much from this competition.
REALLY hoping I won't be last since the fake timings they submitted (which are WAY faster than what I'll EVER be able to swim) placed me in the fastest heats for all 3 events.
I feel weird.
It's been an ancient gazillion years since I've been for a swimming competition as a swimmer.
The eternity of transition. (Especially since it's like event after guys 1500m!)
I'm happy for 50m n 200m placings since I'm like at lane 8 and 1. But I'm screwed for 100m! I'm like in lane SIX. LIKE HELLO?! Even if I multiply 2 to my 50m fastest sprint time (that includes plunging eh) I won't be able to hit the time he put there!
Well, I guess it'll be a dream come true for me to swim breastroke at school meet. Ever since I missed 100m breast finals by 0.01s (I'll remember it forever) in pri6.
Not only that, I get to swim 50m n 200m too!
Is that a good or bad thing I can't decide.
Well, will just be going there, swimming my best, clock some PBs and timings (since I possess none?) hopefully meet some familiar faces, and just BE back at tpy comp pool.
In the meantime, it's the last training session for swim ivp later on. It'll prob be slack. Hopefully with some fun plunging and relays and a few sprints! So many things I'm learning how to swim better. With the plunging, how to utilise gliding, don't pull too early, pull forward not upwards, lunge forward with force, straighten back legs, legs together hands stretch, get the right rhythm! and my terrible turns. I wish and hope I can swim again next year, and get all those right by then.
I've come a long way. I must say I didn't start getting into the water until after this year's ivp in jan. After being back at tpy, watching ivp as a spectator, just made me motivated and I must say from a 200m breast in 4.10 to 3.42, I guess I've come quite some way in 9 months. Hopefully in one year I can be something! Although I've never been anything much in the water relative to water folks.
I guess I always get to appreciate things a little too late. It's always when things are nearing the end, that you start to treasure the company, those training sessions (or practices as they were last time) and so on. I never felt like I belonged in the beginning. But I guess that'll always be the case in anywhere new strange and foreign. But making new friends is all part of it! Getting to know them, watching their crappiness and how it's all just so long ago.... It's like you know... Something so familiar yet so long ago so it's not familiar anymore........
I'm loving the swimming pool.
(Maybe not so much this weekend cuz of all the butterflies)
But I'll be a sad girl once the weekend is over cuz in this short span of 2 months, it kinda changed my life, and I'm happy all right :)
Even looking at the programme booklet makes my heart thump like mad. AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh
And I think being a captain takes so much. Besides having to train yourself, you still gotta motivate ppl, plan everything and just keep going altho like everyone else, everybody's tired. I think all captains that I've met, I do really admire. I doubt I'll ever be able to be as self-sarcificial.
13 more lessons at the piano place! I'm determined to leave there the moment my contract ends! Then I'll be FREE! I haven't felt free for 2 whole years. What does it feel like? I really REALLY wanna know. A little tired of teaching. Only after 2 years somemore! Haha. So much for it being my future profession eh.
It's gonna be a long and tiring few weeks ahead, drawing nearer to exams! (that means project submissions and deadlines!)
I wanna fly, in more ways than one.
I wanna fly, like I'm swimming real fast.
I wanna fly, like I'm running real fast.
I wanna fly, like I'm cycling real fast.
(but I'm more scared I'll go flying off the bike actually)
I wanna fly, like sit on a plane and go places!
I wanna fly, like get out from teaching there.
I wanna fly, like to a place where...........
actually I dunno. I'm quite ok here.
In this permanent single deluxe.
It's like the room of my own I'd always wanted!
It's all in the mind.
I've been visualising alot.
It's been constantly occupying my mind.
It'll be over in one week's time!
I should be getting used to this feeling after this.
The heart-pumping, before it all starts.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I won't DQ. (that's not my worry)
I won't choke on water. (just as long as I don't look down)
I won't faint in the water. (I've never fainted!)
I won't feel like dying. (I know, I will.)
AND THE JUMPING BLOCK AT TPY IS HIGH.
I wanna go for mad tough trainings too.
Where you swim 6km in 2hrs.
Where even my sis thinks is totally shag after it.
But I'm too slow :(
I wanna go cycle with them.
Where you can cycle for long without going up and down scary hills like a million times. (tt's NTU)
But I'm too slow :(
I wanna run sets of 300m.
Where the coach doesn't believe my sis started at the correct place. (ie he was hinting she cheated!)
But I'm too slow :(
Every Friday evening, I enter into another world. Totally different from the one I'm currently in. But it's tough, to feel any love, especially with a super out-of-tune saxophone beside me, tt sometimes I can even see anneson making a face due to the sounds coming from beside me. But I'm glad even in all this nonsense sounds, tt it's good tt I'm still keeping in touch with playing! :)
It makes me wonder. In one year, somebody can improve 800m from 16+ to 14.33. Maybe I should've taken that path. Maybe. I can't say, that I've no regrets now actually. Haha. Ah welllll.....
But the friendships I made, now, THAT, I can truly say, no regrets :)
Time, does strange things. Was thinking, in one year, how I've changed (for the better? haha), grown (hmmm abit sideways!), matured (urmmm) and got fitter! (YAY!)
In one year, will I be able to run 3km under 13mins and be qualified as a monster? Welllll..... there's internship... which I'm really worried abt cuz it'll cut training time by ALOT. especially in the swim part. (AHH!)
In the meanwhile, weekends are scary business. What with 15km runs, 21km runs, 6km runs, and now, SWIMMMMMINNNNNNGGGGG! (*AHH HELP!) 200m of gasping for breath. and then, 10km run 2 weeks later.

Wooosshhhh. After manyyyy long days, we finally submitted in our IT project! And so we all thought yesterday wouldn't take so long. But, apparently, we met at 3pm, (that's after having class from 830-230 for marilyn n jeryl n 830-1230 for me followed by breastroke sets!) AND WE LEFT FAL AT 10PM!
*faints*
There were still quite alot of ppl around. Haha.
Sooo I didn't swim this morn cuz I got my thing! phew and yay. After 1030-1230 class, did a little more IT, the packaging, till 130 n only reached back hall at 230! hoping it rains in 2hrs so I can don't run my two rounds altho i think i need to lose the fats n im quite tired of everything so a run will do me good n clear my head n help me to concentrate n make me feel like dying n strengthen my leg muscles n make me fitter n help me to maintain my running pace and and and and.................
i'm rambling.
okay off to FRS 11 Construction Contracts. I am SO confused after every aa201 lesson. Such a BIG CONTRAST from attending the lessons of the best tutor i ever had for aa101.
Put a smile on my face!
Oh yeah, say it again!
Today, I am a happy girl for many reasons:
1) I slacked the day away!
2) Swimming training wasn't training but broken sets. So time was well spent in practising the technicalities of breastroking. Although I discovered I can't do breastroke turns! Even with swim captain trying to teach me!
3) Lunch was funny with nice company! and the story of the mystery banana biscuits! plus indian boys
4) I had a nice afternoon.
5) I cycled for 1hr on the trainer for the first time!
6) I cycled one round around sch w sis n mok! Learnt how to go up and go down hills, and made an effort for knees not to go in, and cycle on the balls of my feet etc!
7) I had a yummy yummy dinner!
8) I just feel happy!
Altho looking at how slack this week is, and how I didn't do so much work, I think I'm quite screwed!
But I'm a happy girl. Many cool ppl teaching me how to improve, be it run, swim, cycle. Wheeeeeee :)
I will try!
