TWO WEEKS have flown by since the Jambion came back!
For the record, today's the ELEVENTH day!! :)
TWO WEEKS since recess week is over and well, I've ponned a total of 5 classes these past 2 weeks..... Though it's for a whole mix of different reasons, OOPS!
Last week was taper week and not so friendly a conversation with a certain person they call "coach". It still plays on my mind occassionally and it leaves a bad taste although really, why should I care? :)
Singapore Biathlon 2010, yes, ALL GLORY to God!
(There! Does it matter what my training is like? So you think you know so much better? Tsk!)
Thanks really to CAPTAIN OH! For allaying my fears and worries early in the wee hours of the morning about registration. And for the visor (however you spell it) which I've YET to take from leewei STILL!
And then there's Mr. Boyfriend, for popping up at random places, for giving encouragement, for helping me hold my stuffs, for warming down with me, for accompanying me after the race, for cycling to the faraway car to take my stuffs, for being there the whole way, for caring :) thank YOU :)
And of course THE SISTER! For the training programmes, for stuffing fruits down my face, for all the help although I always panick and get into a bad mood because I feel so helpless, for being there always!
And so, A DREAM COME TRUE!
Last year I was thinking, 8mins; 6 positions, so near yet so far. It's amazing how God can make a way, when there seems to be no way! I thought it so impossible!
For the first time it's me in the winner's tent. For the first time it's me up there on the stage! For the first time it's MY NAME in the NEWSPAPER hehhehehe :)
A great weekend it has been. After Sing Bi, headed to Sizzler's for Buffet #1! THANKS TO THE SISTER! Then the Jambion helped to change the gear cable which was done sooooooo fast! Island creamery after church! THANK to the sister for chauffering services!
Had a good ride on Sunday morning with pleasant surprises at Longhouse because there were many familiar faces! :) Then some driving around, with me ending up at Jiwen's house to watch finish Titanic which we last watched, hmm to be exact, on 24th Jan. Headed down to YMS to hear Jw's sis sing during her recital. I thought the entire performance was really so.................... touching..... (awwwwwwwwwww) And the tutor's voice is so.... AMAZING! Had dinner with their family at this pretty cool place just opposite and almost knocked down a million Indian men driving through Little India afterward.
Long ride to the east on Monday with the company of the professional. Thank goodness for him! I almost died.
And so the rest of the week has passed by pretty quick. With MaNY a happy moment :)
Today I had another ride in the rain. Pretty bad because it was coupled with STRONG WINDS! And I was choinging for my life. Had Buffet #2 at Sakura International Buffet with the OCBC guys! It's actually pretty good! Durian............... Oooooooooo :) Thank you sister for the treat! And for driving us / me around always! And for random things like pumping my wheels and washing my bike every other time!
THANK YOU JIWEN for helping with the bike wash! For helping me with the bike everywhere! For carrying it in the rain for me! For changing the brake pads and all! For EVERYTHING!
And to Daniel! For the lending of the van, AND the wheels! And to Indra for checking up on the bike!
It looks, REALLY cool now! I'm so excited to try it out!! Please don't rain tomorrow!!!!!
AND I GOT SOME NEW KIT! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :) :) :)
Everyone's so nice to me.
I am very grateful................
So............ Buffet #3 tmr? and then #4 on Sunday after the race? All in the name of carbo loading.
As much as all athletes look forward to taper week, I'm getting quite sick of this. Training's nicer! And I don't like all the eating!
I still feel very sick in the stomach thinking about Sunday!
*gulp
Okay, cheers to happier days ahead one and all! :)
