I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
So Friday was a busy day at work. Don't quite care to elaborate cuz I don't wish to remember.
MRT-ed up to Woodlands where I met Rod n hM to watch AYG Swimming at Sports School! That place is pretty cool :) The school I mean. But it was over too soon :( We tried to milo away our entrance fee. Heaven! We dinner-ed at Grapevine. Haven't been there at all since THIS YEAR! Oh myyyy. Oreo frappe-d.
I was so tired and with such a headache (it started during course registration in the afternoon!) I was amazed I made it back home alive. Lack of sleep and such a long day cuz I was too excited to sleep the night before, thanks to HANJIE for saying that!
Woke up at 6am groaning at why 6am came so soon. Sadly, whoever I wanted to see I didn't get to see! (haha I'm wondering why) But I met Junyang!
Today's ride (/Today) left me feeling very siann.
Firstly, I was uber tired and lifeless.
Secondly the ride was very slow, I was braking half the time. Like no one was there (the normal fast ppl) and the ppl pulling could see they couldnt quite take it but no one else volunteered to pull. Quite a frustrating ride. And also there were TONS of traffic lights, like we got stopped at ALMOST everyone! First time like that. So amazingly suay haha. It was a very dangerous ride with so many cars coming.
Thirdly, I thought the NUS hills training improved me some cuz I managed to keep up for some hills, till we came to the hill which I always die at, the consecutive one. And then I died. So it left me very sad. I think I can do better tho. But so thankful for the stop at the turn to the second consecutive hill, cuz of the many cars.
Fourth, at coastal the whole pack was sian alr I think so they whacked coastal. I managed to keep up till the very end. But was quite siann with myself for allowing to be dropped by the fastest pack. Like where's the determination?
Fifth, I crashed into this roller-bladist. What happened was at the entry from coastal to ECP, have to go onto this grass thing at the side to get onto the track. I guess partly is my fault for not paying attention and looking hard. But all of a sudden, I looked up and this roller bladist was like standing right in front of me. A little too late, I swerved but still crashed into him, tumbled to the floor, and the lady behind me hit my fallen bike.
When I got up, the roller bladist was gone, I was super super apologetic cuz I caused the person behind me to crash onto me. But she was really nice and helped me and all. And she was really really nice. And alot of ppl stopped to make sure I was ok cuz it was at quite a strategic point. But I felt so, well taken care off. The roller bladist disappeared. (And so xianrong glares at me like it's all my fault!)
Well, I think 75% was my fault, 25% was his fault. I mean like I was following one whole bunch of cyclists. Why no one else in front banged but ME! Like what is he doing there in the MIDDLE of the track standing stark STILL :(
It wasn't when I was slowly riding along to fort road tt I started to feel the effects, like my right eye very pain. (oh, I fell on my left, like again) It was a little bloody, and then I discovered all the minor little cuts n bruises. But it's v v minor only thank goodness.
On closer inspection in acjc pool toilet mirror, it seemed like a bruise was forming :( After the swim, I think the goggles, made it worse, and now like everything looks quite gross actually.
Oh the swim was bad.
Like I was so siannn already.
The first set was 10x100 pulling. Actally I think I could've gone on 1.45. Like I've comfortably done 1.50, that's my usual. But I did 2mins instead and got so frustrated w my tired arms. Not forgetting tt irritating mom at the end of the pool who wants to kill her son. After that set, I was really so frustrated with myself, I was really close to giving up and stop swimming then and there. If Songloo made us do the nxt 10x100 free I'd have just given up then.
So I was pretty happy when it was a 8x100m IM instead! :) Like yes, I can survive. Initally he gave 2.15. But I asked for a 2.30 instead. Yes I know I can do a 2.30 comfortably but perhaps I shld've tried a 2.15 cuz I came back consistently abt 1.50.
The last set was a 8x100m, free alternate with breast. He gave 2min. Like 2min breastroke? Madness. So he gave 2.30, but after the first set coming back at 1.40, I decided to go on 2.15 instead. Actually, if I pushed hard, I could've gone on 2mins also.
But I just dunno what's wrong with me. So frustrating.
SO FRUSTRATING!
:(
I realise, I don't like it alot, when my two worlds meet. It's so wrong. I hate it. Can't it be back to last time? Like I feel really bad. Sigh :(
And the feeling has been like that for the past week. Urgh :( :( :(
On a happier note, I think I like walks to the MRT! (with martti!) hhaha, the brackets were added just cuz I think it rhymes. But xr n martti r like filled with crap heh
How different things are from a year ago. I think, the change is me. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing tho.
