SUNDAYS! Come and go with 13 students. These few weeks, lessons are more relaxed and fun since it's the mid-year exams for the kids, so I'm letting them come to lessons with less stress and just to play!
Almost puked out peanut butter bun in the pool three times.
I have this perception since young that there're two things I simply can't do. 1) Kick butterfly at a decent speed 2) Buzz (to play brass instrus)
Today's 10x100m almost killed me. That's how lousy I've become. OH NO :( But on a happier note, swimming 100m IMs are rather fun. But I couldn't seem to swim backwards straight for nuts today. Was happy with my 200m breastroke timing though. Considering I haven't done that for like forever! (since IVP last year!)
It feels so different to cycle on a mountain bike. But I felt so much more comfortable cycling on the road than on the pavement! And it took me some time to get used to turning the bike confidently instead of always afraid to jerk my hands. AND most of all, how nice to be able to turn my head back to check out the traffic without ending up turning a mini semi-circle in the process.
Came home to play my clarinet all the old band songs. For the whole afternoon.
And went to run my 9.2km normal route in the evening. I reached the end of bishan park with a veryyy surprising timing! So I tried to do my best to run all the way back faster, and clocked a 50.38!! When my usual is like ~56. And I've done a 1hr3min for that same route before! But I wasn't held up at the traffic lights either way today :)
But I'm tired!
Oh, on a happier note, I finished my 3 sets for statics. So yay! But my core is so weak.
I'm getting to hear a Rachmaninoff piano concerto no. 3 live next friday! Very excited! Altho I still prefer no. 2 any day! :) It's reallllllyyyyyy nice. The kind of nice which makes your insides soar in another land. Just like some band songs.
Goodnight.
