We had two consecutive days of training on Tues and Wed. Thank goodness for the marathon excuse which allowed me to give the runs a miss! But instead, we had to walk in the water and my, is that tiring. Sumiko came down on Wed and we had a fun swim session doing weird drills and whatnots. Fun cuz it's not just the normal hardcore intervals or something. But we had a 8x50m at the end, and it was supposedly going on 55s. Obviously, it was terrible.
Upgraded my line to get a free hp which I'm selling and earning some spare cash yippee! Watched Bolt as well. It's a nice show worth watching! :)
Thursday was a day of much learning. NAAT workshop in the morning did teach me a lot of auditing skills which I'm sure the familiarity of such techniques will prove useful in the future. Came back and was too lazy to go out for a cycle with leewei. (Reason being he came over last night to talk till 11pm! and mind you, that's WAY past my bedtime) The afternoon nap was a wise choice cuz it was raining when I woke up and a cycle in the rain on my road bike (and the subsequent cleaning) didn't quite appeal to me. Leewei and me went can5 to eat! I think I should make it a point to try out the different canteens and food stalls during the rest of the hols!
At night we headed over to hall 14's sem room to learn how to keep score for softball. A day of learning. It's pretty interesting. And it reminds me of the times in primary school we used to stay back after school just to play that! :)
Friday, I watched a movie and a anime episode in the morning before heading to our very first swim training ever since ivp ended! 3 sets of jumps kinda worked their effect cuz this morning the legs were not very cooperative. I'm still sore at the core so please don't make me laugh cuz it hurts to laugh.
It was pretty fun. Roderick desmond wei shing sue chee marcus! kim hock n xian rong joined for some time.
NIE band at night was disastrous. 1) Prof Ho wasn't there and so at the start it obviously wouldn't be a productive session. 2) I was surrounded by two bLASTing ppl. A clarinet and a saxophone. (plus out-of-tune altho not quite so bad this week) I seriously felt like I was in a war zone. Didn't quite produce much sound yesterday cuz the noise pollution was too much for my ears to take I didn't quite wanna add more sound. It wasn't till they started talking over me that I found out both were from SAF band. The irony. That I initially felt I was in a war-zone.
Today, I'm sitting in hall blogging this on a Saturday morning! Cuz I left my EZ-link and NIE band tix here. (When I initially thought I lost them and started to worry) Okay I shall head off to catch the next 199!
