its been 6 days now since i landed in spore. finally got out of my lazy spell and decided to blog.
i find it funny... blogging is one of those things that when you dont do it for a while, you keep procrastinating adding another entry day after day...but when you finally get down to typing that entry, you feel better and want to blog MORE. i was gonna say "in that way, its kinda like studying"...but then again after i study a little, i dont feel like doing more. so i guess its different. haha.
A short recap of whats been happening:
sat - went to collect marathon race packet with satiish. jalan-jalan ard suntec for a bit, then went home.
sun - went to east coast and met with khal and danielle. we rented blades. FUN! went to NTU afterwards to run with satiish. it was the most PAINFUL run EVEEEERRRRRRRR. we did a 2hr run in prep for the marathon. but it only made us realise how NOT ready we are. at the 1hr30mins mark, both of us "hit the wall" and the last half an hour was just pure torture. if not for the finisher's tee, i think i wouldnt be running this sun. hahaha. we were so dehydrated afterwards that we whacked 4 drinks back to back to back to back. went to suresh's place to watch man u chelsea that night. once again, i realise that i NEED to get foxtel in australia.
mon - woke up in PAIN. rest of the day was sluggish...feeling the muscles aching all over. cant remember what i did on monday....hmmm..... must be the post-2hr-run memory lapse.
tues - watched movie with satiish then went to bukit batok to have POWER BRIYANI!!! and MILO GODZILLA!!! hahahaha. damn nice.
wed - met satiish at NTU at 7-frickin-am in the morning. havent woken up so early in a loooong time. but no choice....cos we were going for a 10km run, and by 8am its pretty hot already. afterwards, we went to this new swimming complex in jurong. not bad....had onc nice long slide. no wave pool tho =(
thurs - collected my new specs! but my degree went up =(.... too much photoshopping in front of my small laptop screen. my mom says its too much psp....but we all know thats NOT TRUE!
going to NUS to visit suresh tmr. his exams are over on monday. cant wait!! we got lotsa FIFA and PASTA to catch up on!

the slide test kinda sucked.
didnt know about 15 out of 60 questions...and several more that i got wrong. looks like im gonna get about 60%. shit. was really hoping the slide test was gonna pull up my marks.
needed to unwind after the test.... so decided to run to williamstown (part of my hopeful attempt to get my marathon training back on track). took about an hour to run there...and an hour back. thats the longest ive run since last year's marathon....and man did i feel it! suuuuuper pain after 1hr30min mark. muscles hurting left, right, centre. and thats only about 28km...still got another 12km more to go. sigh...die lah. that PLUS the hot n humid spore weather will ensure that i WILL suffer a lot. will aim for a 2.5hr run later this wk.... i think thats as far as im gonna train. The knee is still holding up well, thank goodness.
got a lot of mugging to do today. the written exam tmr, which initally i planned to be my weakest link, now looks like it HAS to be the one thing that pulls up my grade. thats not a good thing.
back to the books! ta

i fell off my bike today.
in broad daylight at a very busy intersection. damn pai seh.
i bought new pedals (the clip kind that secure your shoe to the pedal) from Cam for real cheap.
I practiced a bit in the car park clipping them on and off...and after about 10 mins i thought i was ready to hit the road.
WRONG!
at the FIRST traffic light, on an upslope, i had already clipped in my left shoe and was in the midst of pushing off and trying to clip in the right shoe...BUT i missed the clip and so i tried to gain my balance by putting my left leg on the ground...BUT of course, my left leg was already tied to the bike... so i feel flat on my side. sigh...
but that was it. just fell once. so not too bad. haha.
had a nice ride....cycled to williamstown, which is about 45mins from the city.
i DO have my first paper tmr, but needed to get outside and let off some steam.
oh shit... my first paper is tmr??!?
uh oh.
where are those lecture slides!!???!??

brain dead
not that ive been studying VERY hard lately....in fact i havent been studying too hard at all.
average about 4hrs a day. thats bad.
after final submission last wk, i have no will, no drive to study.
the fact that my hist exam isnt for almost another 2 wks doesnt help. im in the "zone" now. and no, its not the study 'zone'.
at uni now trying to compile a list of important buildings to study for the visual exam. theres just so frickin MANY. ahhhhhh! been sitting here for the past 3 hrs doing nothing but going thru a list of buildings and deciding which ones are important enough to memorise for the exam.
and my brain is dead. cant think straight. need a break. hence the blogging.
supposed to go for training today, but they were doing hills intervals, which wouldnt benefit my marathon training in any way so i decided not to go. that and because i LUUURRRVE being a slave to my history paper.
i need sugar.
i need coffee.
i need to watch Harold n Kumar.
will prob go home soon. cant take much more of this. hungry too.

back to training...oh so bad
after a month (possibly more), i finally made my return to training yesterday. daylight savings has started since then, and now finally training is in daylight! i got to break out the sunnies which, lets face it, makes you run faster! (right satiish? haha)
training session was freakin tough! we did 4 x 1200 reps.... the rest time was measured by whenever your heartrate drops to 140, which isnt much time at all. It works out to about 1 to 1.5mins between each rep.
ok...so this prob isnt the worst session we've done, but i found it so so so hard. was struggling after the 2nd set. my speedwork is gone now. sigh. i guess its a tradeoff....been doing too many long, easy runs preparing for the marathon. will start my speed training again once its over.
studying for exams arent going too good. i went to rowden white library yesterday and borrowed a hardcover x-men comic. ive already read half of it and its almost as thick as my history reader. ah, if only i could read my reader at that pace. why? why? why? oh and i borrowed the xmen dvd too. haha. shit... i need somebody to give me a kick up the arse and get me studying, cos its just now happening now.
hmmm....guess i'll go finish that xmen boook now.
