3 halves equals nothing

2 wheels on my bike. one 's tube went flat

suppose to swim 100 laps. did 50.

wanted to run 24k. stopped halfway

3 halves. but it all adds up to nothing.

...

this is the first christmas where i really have nothing much to talk about, absolutely nothing.

work is such a chore

sick

the title is self explanatory.

damn it.

episode 2 of the egg wars

today i brought another 3 eggs to hall for the next day's breakfast

all 3 suvived

maybe they're all from the same gang

egg wars

went back to hall yesterday for training then to stay in and go to work from hall the next day.

brought 3 eggs in a container in my bag intended for my breakfast this morning.

when i reached hall, i realized that there were only 2 eggs left. the other one had been pulverized.

the eggs killed each other.

even among food there is conflict.

living my double lives

Navy

NUS

Christ.

among the busy-ness, I can only be grounded in Him my rock.

the hectic-ness is madness.

this is how it is for one, living double lives.

Stan Chart 08

i did this to prove one thing to myself

that this time i could do it. i could complete this 42km without cramping. i could do it with a gd time (before 4:30)

by God's grace i did better

Here's the breakdown:

1) 10k - 1:03:27
2) 21k - 2:03:58
3) 30k - 2:50:45
4) Final Finishing Time - 3:49:12

Ave Spd - 11km/h

When i crossed the line i thanked God

OVER!!!!!!

yes my papers are finally over! hahahahahaha!

for those of u who still have papers till next week, just remember that whenever u feel like giving up on studying and heck care ur papers... im happily enoying myself post exams! hahaha...

ok lah, i'll be going back to work with the RSN on tues (when some of u still having papers, but also your FREEDOM) till school starts... so judge for yourself which one is the lesser of two evils.

gdness, i'm making my job sound so bad. ignore me k, people. im exaggerating. hahaha...

ok, time to enjoy myself before i return to work. wondering how i'll fit my training schedule once i start work...

i blinked...

time passes so quickly...

*blinks* exams time!

*blinks* first paper over!

*blinks* WHAT?! im going back to tuas on next tuesday!? so fast!

o man.

PS: due to exams, there will be no bi supper this week. our poor taste buds.

"where's my pork?" - Jason


Nicolas


Smiley Jiajie. Food makes him happy.


And we wonder why...

I wonder what we'll have next tues... In the middle of exams...... Hm... Food for thought... (pun intended)

crunch time!

yep, as the title says... it's CRUNCH TIME!!!

papers next week, 5 papers in 4 days... shiong...

my wounds are healing but too slowly, i still cant do much cept gym and bike (ironic huh). Stan Chart is in 3 weeks time and i am so totally not prepared for it.

been a bit hard, cause i cant study properly without getting all the adrenaline pumped up in my system and all, and i need to get all the pent up frustration out through exercise.

on a lighter note, my walk with God is picking up again.

o well, time for a balanced lifestyle, gotta mug.

ciao

time to look up

ever since the bike accident i have not had a proper training.

abrasions keep me from swimming.

bike at home so i cant cycle now.

tried to run juz now, my hip still hurts. havent healed completely yet.

God is speaking to me. i think i have not really been puttin Him foremost in my life for a while. my training has become no.1. I believe that He is using this period of time when im out of action to reflect and refocus back to Him. to honour Him with my passion of doing tri, rather than leave Him out of it, making it a process about ME.

Lord, You have brought me down, humbled me, so that i may see the feet of the one who has been propping me up all the time. Forgive me, and may i be lifted up by You, fuelled by You, and live for You once again.

despite the obvious discomforts and pain, i Thank You for the freak accident.

bi supper no.3!

another tuesday night, another bi guys supper! and tonight we had a special guest making her debut!


Tonight's special is....... Burritoes! You see minced beef, capsicum, chicken fillets, mashed eggs and nicolas's diced salsa carrots. plus the pita bread and burrito wraps.

cya all again next tues!

1st day with my 1st tri bike and my 1st crash

FINALLY! my bike is here!!!!! tadah!

christened it with the name..... Bucephalus!!! (after Alexander the Great's horse)
can call it Buce for short =D









took it out for a spin, was great all the way. then i saw norman running so i chased him to say hi. that was when it happened.

somehow i flew off Buce, and i made a flying landing, chin first.

as a result, THIS.

4 stitches!

what the hell.......... hurts like helll, not to mention the other abrasions i have on my left side now... OW...

Buce claimed it's first victim...

ache ache ache

went for a 21km yesterday. been donkey years since i ran that far...

ached like nobody business.

so today i went for a massage at this place at eastpoint, hoping to relieve some of my soreness

the friggin ah tiong was trying to murder me, i can almost swear

he looked skinny, but when he puts his incredulous weight of his whole frame of bones on my back with his elbow, i wanted to scream out to be heard throughout the whole east point. it was agony. and i paid $22 for it. OOOOWWWWWWWWW.

all pain no gain.

fats. just throw all of it out the window

island creamery - mudpie and one scoop of reversiO

holland V hawker centre - half BBQ spring chicken

Starbucks - hot chocolate

fat loading day!

tml long run!

somedays, its fun to juz throw it all out the window and eat to our hearts' desire with the bi guys. today was one of those days.

PS: no pics cuz i stupidly forgot to bring my memory card with my camera.

wierdly satisfying

had a pretty gd day today... swam 1.5 after my SEA lect at a 26:33 time. not exactly race pace, but it gave me the workout i wanted...

BUT the after effect of this swim was that i was practically dying in Soci lect later at 4... seated right in front, i juz kept nodding off in front of the prof... hahaha, bad example... ke siao act hardworking sit in front but no use...

However, something did eventually woke me up 3 quarters through the lect. Nigel from the bike shop sms-ed me this. "your bike is assembled and waiting for u"

JOY! finally! now i really cant wait to go collect it on sat! went through the rest of lect much happier and awake...

so beautiful =D

cant wait to see MY one though.. with my red coloured items added to it... should look pretty gd... will put a photo of it up as soon as i get it!

ANYWAY......... today's bi run training was 12km. me being the idiot (or garang?) that i am, took a wrong turn and did 14km instead... but the wierd thing was that i felt happy having ran the extra 2km... felt gd knowing that i have to start running longer distances anyway for stan chart this year...

it kinda says something when u feel gd when u suffered a bit more... similar to how Christians should take delight when we suffer for the cause of Christ...

ok, time to get back to work. procrastinated long enough...

bi supper no.2

another tuesday night, another tuesday night supper. fried rice!

made with brown rice, chicken, mixed veg, ketchup and egg.


nic and jason


jiajie and i


and once again to end off the entry, a camwhore pose from jason!

i find delight in pushing myself beyond my own psychologically created limits.

Osim Corp Tri 08

My first tri! and it was good, cept for the shortening of the swim dist from 750m to 200m. the mud was pretty irritatin too, but i had a gd first-timer bike leg and run, so i enjoyed the experience... of course, it is always better when u have great friends around!

We stayed over at Jiajie's place the prev night (THANKS SO MUCH JJ!)

Jason


The generous host Jiajie


The vice-capt Zhiyun! (keeping an eye out on us?)


me (retarded shot. as usual)


The bikes all set up and ready to go!


The rain in the morning made the whole transistion area super muddy! the wave offs were delayed by half and hour, so with the time in our hands... we cam-whored!


and to demonstrate our love for the camera, look who had time to cam-whore in the middle of his transistion!


Triathlon: You have to tri it to love it =D
