got quite stresses up over my swim today.
i'm doing 1500m for IVP swimming. though im not expected to win against the pure swimmers, there are still expectations of myself.
1 week away from the pool and my stroke is VERY off. im not using the right muscles to pull, and as such i fatigue much quicker, and my speed drops.
but zy was right. i need to enjoy the process more than worying about the times. once i enjoy, eveything else would fall in place naturally.
i hope.

fruitful
well, i actually got A BIT of work done today (as opposed to nothing at all), completed my study plans for SEP, and ran for 2 hours 10 mins on the grass.
During the run, people who were around the track were thinking that I was nuts. I know. Cause they said out were they were thinking. heh.
Kona and Franky are warming up to me! They dun run away from my hands so much nowadays. They actually climb onto it! so cute!

back in the water
finally back in the water today, i took a risk by swimming, without being completely healed from my abrasions from the crash last week.
not bad. the scabs got soggy and gross, but they didnt come out!
on the bad side, one week away from the water has made me horribly slow. i hit 6:20+ for 400m today. HORRIBLE!!!!! how to do 1500m for IVP like that... must get my stroke back and everything STAT!

here i come again
i conclude.
i'm a VS boy through and through. our 'tradition' of doing last min work is so damn bloody ingrained in me. it is only when the deadline is staring me in the face that i can get any work done at all.
this explains why today as a productive day.
ran 2 hours on the grass today. shioks. thanks to mok also who ran with me for an hour plus to keep me entertained and also shared some tips with me.greatly appreciated.
happy!

recovery
the abrasions are healing surprisingly fast. now i understand it when zy says that 'we' heal faster. kinda cause athletes have this super human kind of thing i guess.
shin splints not getting better by much. im still unable to run on concrete, and cant go fast on the grass. my run aerobic is down too, couldnt even maintain a hard effort for 20 mins the other day.
JIALAT.
my boston dream is slowly slipping away!

jialat....
shit... suddenly in an emo mood...... (maybe its cause the song 'Lonely' by Akon is playing right now)
a string of flings, almost-could-have-beens, mistakes and complicated interests has been the tale so far.
my life's been pretty constant so far cept for this one aspect, and honestly i dunno why. maybe im too 'niao', or too busy with my own things (but i've made time for others before.........).
anyway, anyone looking for a guy who can cook (jason can attest to this), financially independent (may not be for long, hahaha), sporty (TOO-sporty), lame (U HAVE BEEN WARNED!), and Christian (VERY IMPORTANT) can step forth.
just make sure you dun have a penis.

random ramblings
think by now the whole world knows...(ok, hyperbooole....)
yup, i crashed again on the bike. this time at mount faber. 5 different patches of abrasions, plus 2 sprained (both) wrists. sian.
Swimming IVP in less than a month. i HAVE to heal quickly and get back into training!
i've been slacking in my work so far... somehow i dun have the motivation to get down on it. i really need a holiday break. ever since Jan 07 i have not had a holiday at all. NS and OCS in 07. attached to ship from Jan 08 to Aug 08. School started after that. ALL the holidays since then i have gone back for vacational attachment. I cant last too long like this.
