| Helloooo how's it going? I am currently in the midst of my final year
exams... i had my CS401 Media Law and Ethics paper today and boy was it
a killer! The thing is, you also don't know if you're truly right or wrong,
after all it deals with ethics and moral beliefs and hence ultimately
depends on the individual.... so.... don't know how that will go... Other
than being a nerd and sleeping an average of 3.5h a night, I have also
been running quite a bit -- to de-stress and to train for the singapore
marathon. don't get me wrong, i'm not intending on winning it, much less
coming in top 3. just want to enjoy the race, pain-free! anyway running
is a great way to let your mind wander.... i've also been swimming of
course, it being my weakest discipline. in fact i just came back from
swim training and we swam about 5.5k today and i felt really good, so
that is a great sign. i've been doing mainly one session a day these couple
of weeks, because of the exams, and actually i don't feel any bit weaker/slower,
if anything more recharged! i suggest you guys take a nice break in the
off season (while you can)! it does wonders. what else is going on.. yep
i am racing the swissotel-the stamford vertical marathon this weekend,
and (keeping my fingers crossed) i will try my best to win it again --
le-ann (winner 2002) and esther (basically inhuman athlete) will be there
to push me so we shall see how that goes! i will be having my exams till
the 18th of november so from now till then it's pretty much just study
and some training here and there... and maybe a party now and then...
haha no. actually i went for someone's farewell party last friday and
that was my first party in a LONG LONG WHILE. ironically i was waaaaayyy
off my revision sched but i still went down... well i won't be seeing
this friend of mine ever again so of course i had to go (i'm gonna miss
you!). right well at last i will get a good night's rest tonight so well,
you take care and have fun this festive season.. right, i'm in the christmas
mood already! ;) |
| wasssuuuuppppp! been awhile since i written anything here. well yeah
it is STILL the exam period, two papers to go, one on tuesday (tomorrow)
and then last one on thursday. man it's been a draggy exam period -- usually
i am done in a week, this time it is taking me three weeks! i am pretty
much sick and tired of studying. well not that i've been studying like,
8 hour days or anything. been actually training quite a bit, esp LSD runs...
this morning i ran from my place to marina south, because the ironkids
were having bike training there, so i thought might as well... it's the
marathon route after all. think it was like, 21 or 22k and it was pretty
boring..! well anyway i arrived at marina south and they were still cycling
so i just took some time to enjoy the sun. when the kids came back we
played soccer and also had wonderfully prepared kaya toast and sandwiches
from the parents. i tell you, these kids are sooo lucky to have such supportive
parents who buy them thousand dollar bikes (one kid even trains with zipp
wheels, beat that!). the amount of money and time they invest in their
li'l 7, 8 year old kids is amazing. gee, when i was 7 or 8, i was a fat,
kentucky fried chicken lovin kid. these kids are HARDCORE, hopefully they
won't burnout -- they are the future of triathlon in singapore! well i
didn't win the vertical marathon last week, which is quite a pity because
my time was SOOOO slow and if i had done my previous year's timing i would've
won. oh well there are good days and bad days and i guess i just wasn't
feeling too good that day -- and at least esther won! esther the monster...
anyway no one better to lose to than to esther, she is such an awesome
athlete. i won a tissot watch (which i am selling! wanna buy?), a night's
stay at the presidential suite at swissotel-the stamford (big party coming
up!!), a $100 dining voucher at the equinox, and a whole load of original
source bath products. well seeing that i lost, i have decided to take
part in a 10k race this week - the mizuno road run or whatever it is called.
first prize $1000 among other things (like $800 worth of mizuno products,
a heart rate monitor, etc). but aye, it is gonna be tough, i am not expecting
to win it at all because there are loads of fast women out there, but
i will try my best to get top 5 (cos that's where the money is!). wish
me luck, catch ya later!! back to more studying (or pretending to). ciao! |
