ok. i've got 30mins.

ok. this is dumb. despite me trying to make myself looked 5yrs older by wearing black shoes, black jeans and navy blue pullover with my ugly specs, i'm still unable to look above 21. so, here i am in genting, at a lan shop, updating my life and keeping myself updated with facebook.



ok.... start.




ok. for the last 5 days, (i'm gg to try and make it quick... coz i do not have enough time. 1hr- 15RM.) i was spending my 9am-5pms at Sunway's Megalanes, bowling UITM. hahas.


well. i'm very sad that my other bowling half and i were in different teams, so we weren't bowling for all the events (except for a blk of 2 games during the Doubles Event). honestly, i didn't have any expectations for UITM. since i didn't performed well in SUNIG, i just wanted to take this trip as something away from Sg, and have some fun with the bowling team. so instead of like focusing on training properly, i bowled Singapore Nationals MQs and immediately bowled 18 games of the Nebo Youth Challenge which ended a day b4 we set off for UITM. all these is just an attempt to try out and hopefully win some $$ to cover the expenses for the trip.




we only knew our line-up in the morning of the Singles Event.
for the Singles Event, i just wanted to keep everything cool. besides a 118 game, i bowled rather consistently. a bonus with the 218 game covered the ultra low game. ahhahs. in the end, my total pinfall hit 1004 over 6 games and i was happy to finally get back to was before making all the changes.


for doubles, my partner was michelle. still updown games, but my performance improved! 1040. ((: ahhas. ok. i'm damn proud of this. coz i've been using Wasabi rather than my Twisted. the lanes were getting drier by the event but not as dry as everyone expected it to be..



for team event, i tell u, macham like watching movie pls. 1st game, michelle and i sucked big time (dont worry, she agree with me on this). i rmbring bowling a 147 and she bowled a 121 or smth. kristel and nic had to bowl a 244 and 248 to cover our asses big time. we managed to take the lead for this all thanks to the 2 girls. 2nd game, i managed to bowl a 211 to cover myself back and we hit a 811 series. ahhahs. and we're still leading. and the best thing is, my line wasn't really aiming for the 1-3 pocket.. but the 1-2 pocket. and, using my Twisted! ahhahahahs. shifts and adjustments were made so that i could get cross pocket strikes. major shit ass. ahhas. and whooolaa.. it worked max as i could somehow carry it down.



3rd game, all of us abit cuii. not low, but not high enough for a comfortable gold.
dammit it. so, we margined our gaps and still managed to thank-God-ly lead by 60 pins. the scores were up on the projected screen and so we actually found out the pro Msians frmo UITM weren't bowling well as they are usually doing.


last block of 2 games, we shifted to meet our opponents. like whoots. the scores on the screens were like roller coaster movie pls. they..... FIRED. they were striking like mad but we're struggling to make the balls stay in. everyone knew what was going on. the last game was to determined the winnner.
in the end, their carry down was mad crazy. head pin strike. high pocket also can get to see a slow topple down of the pin 4 and thus a strike. we're like... pocket... and pin 7, 10 or even 8 all over. dammit. they bowled a 83+ series and we couldn't keep up the pace and lost overall by 40pins. so yea, team silver.





for me, think i managed to do well to keep it cool inside. hahas.
my sparings were better comparing the last 2 events. i rmrbing opening not more that 4 easy sparing frames and had a few splits that were suay sai. so, *pats back, and i need to train more seriously.
overall, i thought the lanes would be drier. i thought Wasabi wasn't strong enough for the lanes. i thought i would be freakin nervous or smth... but somehow, it wasn't as bad as i thought everything would be. somehow, i really think bowling the MQs at OCC and 18games at Safra Tamp did help my game in ensuring that i knew what to watch out for during my approach.



honestly, i'm not there yet nor have enough equipment to control alot of areas of my game. but what i could do is to do up a gd routine and make a gd shot and bloody pick up my spares. and with that in mind, i think i achieved my goal of keeping myself fighting. i guess the also the experiences i had did helped me keep everything under control also. really want to thank God for this. a gold medal would be a bonus, but i am thankful for a silver.



overall, UITM players were mad crazy. to sum up, kristel got 1st for singles, 3rd for doubles with nic, 2nd for team and 2nd for all events. she made it to the masters but the 1game knock out round wasn't in her favour.

our guys were abit unlucky.... but jucheng was hero. straight ball bowler. and only one from the team who made it to the masters. i rmbr his series for his doubles. 23+, 21+, a 137, 23+ and 21+. sick right. ahhahs. he also bowled a 267 for singles. everyone was so bloody proud of him.
in the masters.... he could actually go into the next round but, he lost by 2 pins!! he was actually leading but his opponent striked homed on the last frame when he did a X 9/. TIGHT pls.



aloy was damn zai. he won MASTERS.well done. winning the mhd Nor guy who's been bowling 200 for all games and i think his low game was 197. yea, his low game. he bowled a 1417 series in the doubles i think. crazy.




ok. my time is up. i will update more in the next post.
meanwhile, continue to win me in my fb games like Restaurant City, Chef game and Farmville while i do not have access to computer games.



ok. i miss touch.
and i am gg to start sch next month.

i'm away.

from 7th - 20th Dec.
will just be beside; Msia.

- KL: for UITM tournament
- then Genting: for fun.
- then KL for Milo tournament.

hahas. all with my 4 bowling balls and 1 big bag.


i hope i'm not wasting time by doing this.




i'm rly gg to miss touch...
coming back, feeling all heavy and unfit. hahas

Etoricoxib

i never believe in tablets to suppress pain and stuff like that coz i'm damn afraid of being reliant on them. but today, for the last block of 6 games, i had to take this one.

the doc told me that i would not be reliant on this.. so ok la. not too bad. i'm quite sure that its psychological effect that my ankle wasn't as pain as the last blk of games. hahas. but sure enough, there wasn't obvious swelling today. but my calf are super duper tight.

i need a sports massage to un-knot me.


so today, heavy oil. understood the lanes better than the last 2 blks. games not very fantastic as there wasn't much carry down. hit the pocket, pin 10 or 4-7 stays. messenger always taps the pin 10, but not strong enough to carry it. then even make 1 board shift, it stays or over.

had at least 6 1-2-4-10pins standing today. only manage to convert 1. but today my sparing's so much better. because i'm damn nua and tired from watching The 4 Constables online last night, i literally no energy to make the mistake of carrying the ball during the swing. so as a result, my swing was more relaxed that usual- smth that i'd always need to work on especially during tournaments.

games had a stupid pattern. 18 15 18 15 18 15. just simply cannot make it consistent. haiz. and over these few days, i've been putting in tape, taking out tape quite oftenly.
seems that i really lack alot of confidence during the swing.


tmr's stand chart run. if i'd had known that UITM wouldn't clash with this run, i would have signed up for it.
i still haven't pack my bag.
i really hope UITM will end well; for me.





ok. so with this understanding, i took the innocent orangey-red looking tablet today.


NUCOXIA ( Arcoxia, Generic Etoricoxib )
Manufacturer: Zydus manufactures NUCOXIA ( Arcoxia, Generic Etoricoxib ).
Uses: The uses of NUCOXIA ( Arcoxia, Generic Etoricoxib ) include:
Etoricoxib, which is a type of medicine known as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs work by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in producing prostaglandins, in response to injury or certain diseases. These prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Because NSAIDs block the production of these prostaglandins, they are effective at relieving pain and inflammation. Cyclo-oxygenase does not only produce prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It also produces prostaglandins that have useful roles in the body. There are two different forms of cyclo-oxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the form that (among other things) produces prostaglandins that cause inflammation. COX-1 does not produce inflammatory prostaglandins, but does produce others that have useful effects, including some that are involved in maintaining a healthy stomach and intestinal lining. Traditional NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, block the action of both COX-1 and COX-2, and this is why they can sometimes cause side effects such as stomach irritation and peptic ulcers. Etoricoxib belongs to a new generation of NSAIDs that selectively block the action of COX-2. This means that it stops the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, without stopping the production of prostaglandins that protect the stomach and intestines. It therefore reduces pain and inflammation, but is less likely than traditional NSAIDs to cause side effects on the stomach and intestines (although such side effects are still possible). This medicine can be taken with or without food, but may start to work quicker if taken without food. What is it used for? Acute gout Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis

part 2

2nd physio.. he agrees that its 'cui' alrdy. ahhahas.
he says probably a shin splint. i'm like.. HUH?! from ankle injury to shin splint?


2nd blk of games today better. but not gd enough. just trying to do what i need to do for now, experiment with the lanes more and prepare for UITM.




i'm supposed to be packing my bag now. ahhas. but the hk drama show last 3 chapts i haven't watch! ahhas. will be missing it when i'm away. so, i'm d/l-ing them now to watch. AHAHAH.






i sent this for an appeal:



Dear Sir/ Mdm,

I would like to request for an appeal of my results for the subject MKTG1052- Buyer Behaviour.


The sole reason for making such an appeal is to ensure that I am able to graduate in 2010. This is because my family have been facing financial problems since the passing of our family's breadwinner in 2003 and I would like to move into the workforce so as to lighten the family's load as soon as possible.


In addition, I have graduated Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Marketing recently in 2009. In my 2nd of studies, i have attained Distinction in the subject 'Consumber Behaviour'. Thus, realizing that I have attained a NN grade for Buyer Behaviour (which is somewhat similar, with comparisons of learned concepts and topics) is quite a shock to me. I am very sure that no form of complacency is attributed to this final grade, thus, I would like to make an appeal to further understand the stated mark of 43.

Attached is an image of my Student Result Transcript of one of the semesters in which it consists the subject 'Consumer Behaviour' for verification. Much apologies as I do not have the soft copy of the transcript nor a scanner at home. Therefore, much apologies for using a camera to take a photo of the transcript.


However, having said all that, if I am allowed to re-take this particular subject in the following semester or during my final semester (the semester after the upcoming one), which allows me to graduate in 2010, I am grateful.


Thank you for your kind understanding in taking time to read all the appeal emails. This is much appreciated.



Yours sincerely,

(:

it's time i'd UPGRADE siol. ahhahas

setback

out of 4 papers,
1 dist, 2 cred, 1 NN.

nn mean NUL i guess. mean failed.


its BB.
honestly, i was confident for this paper. in fact, specially for this paper, i studied 1 wk earlier than all subjects. ever other subjects are last min. like 2/3 days b4. on the contrary, i really thought i'd fail MR and do badly for DC.. but i failed BB.
buyer Behaviour.
can't believe it. it's a TP mktg yr2 subject, and i scored Z for this subject which was a distiction. and i'm sure that i'm not complacent for this. how can i ever be complacent in studies.



bad news because i would majorly jeopardize one year of my prospective life with scdf.
which means i can earn more money only when i'm 1 yr older.


it's like... i'm not emo. just feel wasted and probably like... loser-feeling. nv have i expect myself to go through this process. never. this is dumb.



i am so gg to figure out how to grad properly. this is bad.
still cannot believe it.



can i say... f.

insomia

omg. last night.. i really couldn't slp. i laid in bed at 4am.
kept looking at the clock. then its 5.15am.
then 6am.
then.... 7am.
then..7.15am.


time to go Safra Tamp.


damn groggy.
then bowled.
managed to get Squad A. 9am.

dammit. bad choice. all the sports sch U14 ppl there. shld have taken squad C.. but because of my physio timing on fri, squad's A the best timing alrdy. dammit.


then. its only today when i was alrdy at the alley that i found out tt today short oil. even more cuii.
didn't bring Wasabi. its the only time for this ball to be put into gd use. AH.


suffered alot during the games. out of 6, i bowled 4 13games. its like. majorly consistently bad. ): i realised tt when i do get my line after a period of time, my bad habits kick in. thus, i need more trng. but oh wells. i've got 12 more games more. anything can happen boy. just gotta close my frames and take it slow.
focus la.




today, no club trng.
happy coz my wed nights are free; sad coz i'll not be running nor playing touch.


slept on and off whole day at home.
felt damn disgustingly lonely and nua.
could actually go for tap class after damn long.... but i didnt- chose to nua at home. felt useless.


haiz.



after so so so long. i still dont understand why i can get affected by the absence of u. its just so irritating. i rly dk what can fill up this void. i rly rly need u to respond to me at least for once; to let me know that everything's alright, honestly.
i dont like that fact that i'm being bugged down by my own trivial affairs of the heart (ohhhs) rather than like my games.



i've got 4 more days b4 i MIA from SG. hahas. go into hiding.
tmr, RESULTS OUT. omgss. scared for MR and DC. AH.





hate to love
love to hate







i feel so uncomfortable.
so not myself.
HOW.

self-fulfilling prophecy

i think in sports, believing in yourself is a skill.


if u dont believe in yourself, who else would.
being through so many competitive sports, sometimes, even though u have the skill, u show the results, u may not 'win' it after all.

in OB, we learn abt attribution errors, and one of which is self-fulfilling prophecy. if you dont believe in urself, ppl around u wouldnt. and even though u have the skill, soon enough, u'll eventually loose it.


for now, on my side, i've said i wanna focus more on touch. but this month, there's simply too many bowling tournaments. its really the season. my sch touch team isn't much as competitive and sports-disciplined as my team back when i was in TP. and there's really limited major touch tournaments and its off-season somemore. my club's filled with sch players and when u're in sch, sch probably overwrites club. so its like... i really dun have 'a choice' to do what i'm doing now if i wanna just go all out in my youth.


i wont let anyone stop me from doing what i need to do.
ppl nv keep their promises anyway.


so. tmr.. I AM COMPETITING TMR. hahas.
this time, its really for the $$. hahah. its achievable given the circumstances, and i need it.

soon enough, i'll go crazy.

virusss

mum and i are sick.
probably coz of the food we ate.

i'm still gd. just the full and slight sorethroat.
mum's having the fever and sore throat.


she went down to buy baby stuff for the baby at home.
and omg. the bag cry like mad. i almost died.
i.. CHANGED HIS PAPERS.
*pats back.
hahhas. what an achievement. but it was super yellow-ish wet all over. not at ehwss coz afterall its from a baby.. but still. ahhas.



i nua-ed at home today.
just like sun and friday. its been long since i've nua-ed till this stage.
feeling damn tired.
supposed to cycle to tamp to swim. but the weather's bad. and the nose keeps running... so i guess its best to nua at home.


haiz.





1 thing 2 do 3 words 4 you.

flu

finally, down with the flu.



tonight feels lonely.



i want to swim tmr.

lost.

youth in touch today
we lost..
we felt that the fixtures weren't really fair coz some teams didn't get to play stronger teams... but we all know that it was the best one that one could do alrdy.
drew 2, won 2. and ended up 3rd out of 4th of the table.
but we're really tired. on the contradictory, most of the 'underwadder' players are overseas/ unavaliable.. so today's team made up alot on contact players.

felt gd to see mavis on the field once again.

glad that everyone had fun, getting back with touch again. hahhas.
but our fitness killed us.
personally, i felt damn tired.
i should not be coz its not that i've not been trng. probably the only weds club trng is not enough. somemore.. trngs are so short! like 1hr plus? days in TPs, we trained from like 6-10pm. and like hardcore kind.



i really really really miss trng with TPiranhas.
missed out so so much.


then went to find shoes with mavis. gd catch up with her though i was damn tired and burnt. hahas..


then met up with mum for the evening...
saw this is this wallet shop.


"you picked the best of times,
to drop the worst of lines"

and its event marked on 28th nov. which is today.
and its like majorly pernamently printed on this wallet for no apparent reason.
further more, 28th, which is today, is ur bday.

almost bought this wallet for display coz it was so significant. but didn't want to waste $26.90 on smth like that.



ok. i'm like very randomly having a flu now.

ransacked

i spent the day at home. mum and i wanted to go out, but the liews came with the kids. so stayed at home.

didn't go fitness coz the pain from ytd's physio killer session still resides in my calf.


digged out old photos. took photos of them. ahahahs. probably spent 2-3hrs? hahas. i can like do this and not pack my room or finish up incomplete stuff. tsk tsk.



so.. here's some of what i found...



















for more, go my fb albums. ahhahas.. gd laughs. ahahhahs. (:



lastly, happy birthday poochie.
hope u'd eventually get my wishes.
every yr, i'd like to spend this day with u, specially.
but its either mission trips, exams, tournaments that's 'in the way'. when those are out of the way, we're through alrdy.

and that's very sad for such a great friendship.

physio

wah.


today's the 1st session of my physio and seriously, i was damn near to having tears in my eyes coz of the pain.
went through alot of 'theory' on the ankle and stuff.
then now.. i'm like supposed to be on 'stage 1'- loosen the muscles.

my calf muscles are damn tight and taut. when he rubbed it.. he felt all the knots and was shocked that the knots are actually so huge... wah. he hit all the spots right pls.
seriously. i tried to act cool by like not showing any pain or what.. but FAIL. hahas. so bloody pain that i grabbed the bed, almost kicked the physio and probably almost destroyed whatever's on the bed.



till now, its feeling damn sore.


he intro me to more excerise. ahhas. and next appt is next wk! since i'm gg off on the 6th dec and he's gg off on the 11th for further studies, he pushed the appt at the earliest b4 we leave. hahas.





he's charming ok. hahas. i tell u. when i got home, i googled his name (although not knowing it full).. tyring to find out more abt him. hhahas. and eventually found his fb. ahhahs. A* for Market Research here. hahas.
for the record, i dont usually do this. maybe on girls. hahahs. nv on guys. hahhas.

my life has... changed.
HAH.





ok la.
after that. sports award night.
happy that bowling won Sports Team of the Year... sad that for contact rugby, despite having Gold for Sunig and Silver for the rp invitationals, it wasn't enough to win a team merit award as there were simply too many contenders. but its only the 2 tournaments we had lor. ahhas. oh wells.


can see that SIM sports is growing. hahas.





after the ceremony, was feeling damn tired and sian. probably the soreness of my calves are just affecting my mood. hahas. wanted to go home.. but too sian to make decisions. so i just followed amanda.
went to friend's hse to slack, watch tv and play majong. i just nua one corner watch tv. damn sian. after like 1am plus.. awake alrdy. aahhahahs.
played very very old sch hand games with tiac. hahahhahs. that majorly woke me up. hahas. nostalgia siol.




then homez.
damn sian.
its probably coz the yr's ending. hol's ending. and ur bdy's coming.
haiz.

2 v 1

hahas. no, not some rugby move.


just feel like blogging at this time. 4:39am.


987 just played the song '2 is better than one'.


taylor swift voice is just so... charming.


now playing: Photographs; by Nickleback.


can't slp.


how emo can this night be.


i keep thinking of so many things.


y can't i stop thinking of u; after all these yrs.



ur bday's coming soon. so.







everyline i just so potential FB/twitter status.




ok. slp now marian. slp.

erratic.

dammit.



bowled 2 MQs; 8 games.
top 4 games of the 8 is enough to qualify. but if squad by squad, not enough.
games very erratic. high game can go as high as 237. low as low as 133.
sick.


this one best.

7th frame gutter. and can happily continue with the 4 beggar. the uncle bowling beside me was like... pointing to his head to tell me "mental! mental!"

si beh no mental i tell u.


2nd squad... actually could have qualify. 1st game is the 133 lor. spares was bad.i rmbr the 1st 4 frames of the 1st game...

8/ -8 9/ -9...

its like. might as well dont spare. never have i bowled gutter during tournaments like such. today's the first time i bowled 3 gutter. and some more always after a close frame.


then the 4th game... 5 strikes in game, the rest, open. HAIZZZ.
seriously.



but ok la. in total, i have 4 beggars and 2 turkeys in total. so its an improvement.
was gd coz i'm not like a headless chicken trying to find line like the other time round. found the line and just trying to make shifts. shifts like half board also works. hahas.


somehow, learnt quite abit from myself today.
gotta work more on sparing consistancy. and like for mental game, must improve like max. it doesn't work if i think abt scores and outcomes. best is to keep it cool. take it slow. shot by shot. frame by frame.

for me, today's focus was more on the relax swing. the more i relax, the better i have control. and once that, timing will fall in place. just relax only.


bowling MQs are like gambling. u keep wanting to win. u know u can do it. u pay $$ for one MQ, screw it up, and buy the next one while bowling the current one. its like.. placing a bet, believing u can do it. hahas. seriously. i really want to bowl another MQ coz i finally have a better understanding of the lane condition. just need to relax and have a gd mental game.
if i have the $$, i would.
oh wells.
in bowling, if u dont have $$, u'll be v miserable.
no money bowl MQ.
no money buy balls and equippment for lanes.
no money to have private coaching.
no money for comfortable transport.. maybe like taking taxi instead of lugging 4 balls up 2 buses during peak period, making it look as u're trying to run away from home.

haiiiizzzz. that's y this sport is just so hard to keep up with.



ahhas.
its been long since i've blogged abt bowling like that.



if re-read the post yrs back during days in KC, its really all about bowling. i can have a very very long post just on one bowling trng.
if i had worked harder in my poly days, maybe by today, i could have make some significant achievement. but oh wells, there was touch. w/o touch, life would be v v different now. but yea, i still felt that i should have spent more time on tpiranhas trng though, and really ignore the STARS prog shit or really just heck it.




tmr, PHYSIO! finallly!!!
can't wait to see the physio.

bad rush.

ankle hurt alot today.



went for trng. rushed.
then almost got lost. i somehow alighted 2 bus stops early. then took a $5 cab in because the 2 balls were killing my ankle and shoulder. almost got lost. hahs. it was just 2 near bus stops away.

then rushed to the alley.


dropped my wallet.



its the wallet with all my money and no identification cards.. the cards are all in my bag. THANK GOD. the staff of spgg found it and was clever enough to all the bowling alley. why?
because of my sg nationals MQ RECIEPT.
**BIG SMILESSS**
the mq reciept had my name, i/c and yea- made known that i'm a bowler. so the receptionist was clever enough to call the alley. lo and behold, i was there trng alrdy. thank God.



yea.


Nebo touch's coming up.
UITM's coming up.
Milo's coming up.


= more $$ away.


i hope to qualify for the graded womens pls!!!
tmr, last 2 chance. i just have enough for these few.
its like.. damn sian. save up so much to bowl ur $$ away.

MQs

travelled 3.5hrs to west coast then to yishun.



bowled the nationals cships at yishun
1st MQ... though i really wanted to qualify this.. it was bad. 3rd squad. oil carried down so much then i couldn't get the line.

2nd MQ. fresh oil.
nice.
but it took me 3 games to understand the lanes and the shot. hahas. so ok la.
not my kind of lanes. its like... attack shots down.


will bowl again to make the last attempts.
hope it'll be enough.

73 storeys.

fell short of abt 1.5 mins to get a medal, a swiss watch.
dammit.

14mins 14secs. improved by 50sec from last yr. but i rly think i should make more improvements considering that i've been really working out alot this yr.
ok la. positively, i recovered faster than expected. last yr, i rmbr staying on top, waiting to catch my breath. this yr, i rmbred wanting to go down when i'm done with the enjoying-the-view part. as of typing this my thigh's aren't slowing major signs or fatigue or what la. so... gd job.

right.
gd to be positive.


personally, i think i did ok-ly to not complain so much.
i targeted for 12mins. but i paced well. just that swissotel's stair well's different and complex to a certain extent. it not just constant motion of steps... anti-clockwise... then have like straight flat ground of abt 7m. then continue. then it'll change to clockwise.. all sorts la. ahhas. pacing is like.. u've got to be a veteran la.
i'm proud to overtake ppl of earlier flag off timings. however, they also contribute to breaking ur pace. at around 50 plus storey. got quite a no. of ppl who refuse to give way. wah. i kept telling myself not to slow down not to slow down.
but i think somehow i did la.


as u go higher, ur heart is like machine. just like the feeling in Mt. K. just that more rapid and that u dont have to literally grasp for air kinda thing. ahhhaas.


ok la. can i attribute it to my ankle. it didnt give me probs la. no pain or what. coz i taped well and was really careful to perform well and at the same time, not aggreviate it. (: pats back.

but really la. looking at my watch, watching the secs tick by while its reaching 12mins and i've still got like abt 10 more flrs to go. it was like. heart sank. but i knew i was still trying to keep the timing low.


for the Opens...
top female: 8:29. male: 6:46!!!!
i'm still trying to picture how can a human race up to 73 storeys in 6mins.
he should be a fireman. he can save alot of ppl in the shortest time possible.
seriously man.


while checking out the timings, i heard this veteran competitor said to another younger athelete "sometimes our mind gives up b4 we physically give up... so we need to train. and keep being positive with trng...". i gave some thought at it.. and yea. hahas. very true. the human body is actually far more capable than the mind.
depends on which context u're applying the statement on la.

for eg... i feel that for trng, this applies la.
but if saying.. the mind is more capable than the body... it's more for during e race.
aiya. no end to the debates.


some of the younger national atheletes took part too. saw hui fen.. the bowler. and sherman the sailor. ahhahs. looking at sherman is just so funny. i rmbr when he's p4, i was in p6 and i was the prefect of his class. always very naughty. run around and all. nv fail to force me to write his name down in my oh-so-great-note-bk. HAHHAHA. now, sports sch and just a neat all grown-up sailor. ahhahhhhas.









suan did well. he thought he signed up for the Men's 20-29. hahas. but ended up in the Mens Open. but gd la. he did it in 11mins plus. he train more i think can win a watch from the age grp category. hahas. all that uphill mtb trails help huh. hahahas.



so.. some photos....
i wouldn't say that the view is worth it... plus, i missed the national trng camp today and ytd coz of my coaching..
because honestly, u can get that view while taking a less than 2mins lift ride up. but ok la, nice is the wind and the fact that u're on top of Singapore's tallest hotel in the CBD area. aka the helipad as well.








after that, helped out ms shanti with the girls who had performance at the national library.

this girl cute sia. her eyes had sparkle.

but ar. 3 hrs with them is tiring man! kids are highly active and have short attention span. period.
but, cutez.



(:
missed lynette.




on the way home. though i was super sleepy. i wanted to walk around. so i went to the neighbourhood. i bought a shirt and a pair of black jeans. hahas. bossini. free alteration. hahas. cheap gd jeans. ok. its becoming a preferred brand now. HAAH.



AND AND. i am shock (i hope its the cutting or smth) that i bought 4 size smaller than usual. whoots. but clearly, i do know i'm not at all loosing weight. though i may be doing alot, i'm also inputting alot. hahahhas.

coached.

my first time coaching.
was with alvinia.


the best part- SCDF. ahhas. and at st.andrew's field.
ok la. it was really all abt touch and nothing else... like no sharing of work experiences or what so ever. so it didn't really feel anything.
but.
gd to know that the SCDF is trying to come up with an offical touch team. for now, its mixed. and hopefully, it can grow into a guy and girl division. shiok.
hahas. i hope by like next next year, it's waiting for me. HAHAHA.


had fun. lucky there's alv around. (:



saw boon rong! nice to see after damn long. finished his police. when i look at him, knowing that he's done so well in his As and rugby and all, and having his future all planned out, as a friend, u feel like a proud mother. AHHAH.



dropped by church. 1st car to honk and me was aunty violet l. hahas. i was a little surprise. but then found out abt the kfc camp. in church, saw cindy and aunty violet leong. hahas. when i left, the uncle who always cleans the church in a red t-shirt said this in chinese "wah. ah ger ar. hen jiu mei lai le ar". meaning: "wah. girl ar, so long never come alrdy ar". ahhahas. direct translation.
to me, that meant alot.
i mean like. he's not an uncle who speaks alot. just does his stuff here and there. always there, but always quiet. so today, when it said that, wha. it felt like my heart got pulled by a rope. hahas.




so after that. i collected race pack. and met up with gd bikers cum photogs. though it was a short lunch, it felt gd to just catch up and talk nonsense over lunch.



then went for big family dinner... even though didn't feel like it.





sad that i missed trng camp today and gg to miss tmr.
its always like that. impt things always happen on the same day.
tmr, swissotel vm.
this is it.
$$$$$. ka-chiiinggg.

since i've sacrificed so so much, i must win smth or smth. yea. hahas. at least hit my 12min goal. must start psyching up correctly now. wish me luck. pray that my music will just drown me and ignore my ankle. thurs seeing physio alrdy. so tmr, GO ALL OUT AR. hahahahhahas.
