Yes, that exact same caterpillar we saw on my bday ride at ECP visited me again, TWICE! During last Sat's ride at Bt Timah, and then this morning just before my run! Hey there!
Life's been soooooooooo busy! You might think with boyfriend away I'd have more time but noooooooo! My LONG list of to-dos don't seem to be getting any shorter!!! Try as I might!! :( :( :( It's like back to the days of old where it's constant out and about! I kinda miss it truthfully :) BUT I'm really tired, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
A little long update in store. Here goes...
Tuesday was trainer intervals in the morning. HR max was only 188! Hmmmmm... Heartland Mall to make new specs, thankfully with the sis coming along! Free cakes, dumpling, sushi? Egg tart! So much nonsense. ANDAND the dumpling aunty turns out to be the old bakery aunty who actually remembers ME! I wanted to run BUT it rained, then when it stopped and I got all psyched up to run, IT RAINED AGAIN! So I just took out the stretchcords and on the 1st/2nd set, it stopped raining. So cheated. So stretchcords and statics it was for the night.
Went for a little longish ride to the east on my own on Wednesday. And yes! Going the long way instead of the park connector gives you a very good warm up! Teeheee :) Decided Selator wasn't for me and went the shorter way by YCK but didn't cut at Buangkok. A little drizzly along the Coast. Cycled by ECP and well, one week ago it was picnic day. Only one week, but yet it seems like an eternity ago. Home time was spent in a hurry trying to clear some of the to-dos. Then off for a bus journey (which turned out to be pretty fast but still hurt my butt) to TYR. Where I met Lemin and NUS coach! And the SMU ppl came over later. So it was pretty fun at TYR!
Cabbed back with the NUS ppl and joined the second time for a swim training. THis time with the Bi team. The company was really good! Real fun hehe! And well, motivating and encouraging too! And it was really really really good to have a coach there telling you GO, and giving comments on your swim :) I couldn't stop um-chio-ing just to have someone say "go" :) :) :) The last time I had this was like 10 years ago? And I always wished the bi/swim team got a coach but we never did. The sad thing was we didn't even swim 2km when the lightning appeared and we had to get out! After the swim, while walking out, I did think about how if I had ended up in NUS with such a bunch of ppl, how would I have turned out otherwise! Hmmmmm....
And a few of them talked about Jiwen with me! It made me VERY HAPPY when they asked/mentioned about him and talk I did! Hehehehe :)
Oh, you think Sports School pool water is cold? It's ONLY 25degrees! ONLY TWENTY FIVE!!!!!! HOW CAN!!!!! 16 degrees sea swim? Help me............................ *gulp
Oh today's Thursday! So this morning I went for a run, up down up down. I was pretty happy this morning! Smiling at everybody and getting good mornings and nods in reply hehe :) Came back and finished the statics and attempted some things on the piano because NO ONE WAS HOME! Till lunch time and then it started to rain rain drizzle drizzle. Oh ulfp satellite is back, up and running! So analysis of rain clouds concluded going the fast way will run into rain, and north won't. Since my bike's filthy, and I was gonna try my old tri shoes, out they came and cycle off into the wet rainy day! It was just drizzly till Clementi, and then drizzly again! All in all it was a pleasant ride and I took less than 1hr for the trip back! The short way of course. This direction is so happyfy-ing! The only hill you gotta climb is up till Lornie and then you get THAT downhill! Another down at Sunset Way. More downs nearing JE. The whole ride seemed downhill! So fun! :) Chocolate smells at Boon Lay! :)
TO the pool! Most awesome weather! Perfect for swimming with a bunch of friends, slacking, playing water and having "poolside gossip" hehe. (SAFRA Tampines with Neemo and Lols right?) BUT I was on my own, doing a whole bunch of IMs, 5x400m pulling and the likes. Ouch. Oh, while warming down, I turned around at the other end and saw some drama going on! The lifeguard was pulling this girl back to the side with the orange buoy! Reminds me of the last time the other lifeguard was so lazy to get into the water he just looked at me and pointed to help! Terrible! Oh, aND there was this one day, where ALL the lifeguards were swimming! I think they had to do some tests or something. So, FIRST TIME I SEE THEM IN THE WATER HA-HA-HA!
I so love NTU pool. Warm and toasty and just right today! No sun tooooo! And the water provides such amazing recovery for the muscles! I love it! That feeling of buoyancy and freedom for the legs after a run / cycle! Love love love it! :)
So.......... Reverse triathlons seem to be the in thing these days hurhur.
Visited Dan's "new" shop in the making too!! At last I have a chance to drop by!
I think JF is like a combination of my sister's dangerous (but not as dangerous as his) riding and Jiwen's friendly waving!
Hmmmmmmm
When I'm always in my own thoughts I get very irritated when family disturbs me! Urghhhhhhh. I wanna go back to hall :( I want my own room again :( Leave me alone! :(
I don't know why but the system seems to have crashed, kinda. I'm VERY out of sorts now. Sigh. It's the i-need-cadbury-almond-chocolate-balls time.
