Updates...

Woo... finally found the determination to do some updates.

NUS Biathlon 2008 was good, i guess. Look, i did minimal training okay? Thank goodness i managed to complete and didn't die out there in the sea. Haha. It is the first time i am taking part in this kind of event outside camp and everything seems so new and yet there is a sense of familiarity. Maybe the mini-biathlon i did back in camp helps so everything turns out rather smooth. The only part that annoys me is that my swim was often interrupted by fellow participants. Not that i swim very fast but i guess anyone would get rather frustrated when you can't do more than five strokes consecutively. I guess this means i have to train harder...

School has started and it is a daunting thing to go back to studies straight after my NS. I have not touched books for two years and seriously, i think my brain has lost the software titled, "Study". Although i think i am coping well, i will know soon whether i am right when i take my test for the module in 2 weeks time. Furthermore, being shy, it is a rather frightening experience when i am thrown into a whole new environment with no one to rely on. Luckily my classmates are rather friendly and i think we will get along well for the next 2 years plus. Haha.

Cultural rehearsals are getting more and more intense as the big day approaches. In fact, rehearsals are twice a week and they usually last more than five hours. No complaints though. I know this kind of thing will come the moment i signed up for it. For now, i am just hoping our performance would be a good one and i am sure it will be.

Right now, i just want to concentrate on my studies and rehearsals and worry about other things after the big day.

Hooked...

Right now, i should be in bed resting for tomorrow's biathlon.

But! I can't sleep! Too excited liao. Haha.

Besides, with my new favourite song, Jay Chou's 《彩虹》 playing in the background, how am i going to sleep? I am so dead tomorrow...

周杰伦 《彩虹》

哪里有彩虹告诉我
能不能把我的愿望还给我
为什么天这么安静
所有云都跑到我这里

有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

看不见你的笑
要我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳开始环绕环绕
没有理由我也能自己走掉
是我说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

Plans...

With more shops opening today, the Chinese New Year celebration mood has kind of quieten down and more people are returning to work, though not at all motivated, haha.

Chinese New Year was good. I mean, i ORD on the eve. How cool is that?! Haha. No more waking up at 5am in the morning just to go to camp. No more wasting 2 hours of my precious life everyday travelling up and down and no more camp-related saikung. Woohoo! Furthermore, i have around 1 week to simply nua at home and not do anything. Wah, didn't know the feeling of simply nua-ing at home with nothing to bother me is so shiok.

Ang bows aside, i think i got to run 2 marathons back to back to kill off the calories i pile on. It isn't fair when your mum is a good cook. I mean, look at what i had for reunion dinner. Braised duck with sea cucumber, abalone, dong fen and a pot full of pig's stomach soup. Oh man. Having a mum who can cook is enough. Having an auntie who can also cook is... wow. 2nd day of CNY and i am off trotting to my 4th Aunt house for lunch. Let me see what i gobble down. Eh, chicken soup, abalone, sea cucumber, wu xiang and cereal prawns. And don't get me started on what i ate on the 1st day of CNY and all those New Year goodies. And yes i am too busy eating to take pictures. Haha

This year, CNY is kind of special. On the first day, thanks to my mum, almost all of my paternal side relatives gathered at my house for a buffet lunch(food again!). Wah, 岁月不留人. Most of my cousins are getting older and most of my nieces and nephew are getting bigger. One or two of them are going to enter NS next year okay? What happen to the days when they were cute and adorable? Haha.

Just when i thought i would continue to nua till school start on the 18th, Ah Woon texted me on the 2nd day of CNY, "NUS Biathlon?"

It was tempting, even more so when i failed to register in time for the Singapore Biathlon 2008. But at the same time, looking at my bulging tummy, it makes me wonder can i make it?

So...

I went for it in the end.



Not the full biathlon but half of it. 750m swim plus 5km run. This is considering the little amount of time we have for training(NUS Biathlon is on the 17th), the amount of calories we piled on during CNY and the slight dip in our physical standard. The full biathlon will be too taxing for us. =P

Personally, i am having mixed feelings about it. I mean, although i have swam longer than 750m in the sea and covered more than 5km on the road before, it is still something new to me. For now, i am just keeping my fingers crossed and pray that i can complete it.
