somedays i wanna quit and just be normal for a bit
it's been a cold cold day! morning training in the cold water. well you see, it was actually sweltering hot out there. stretching was tiring cos it was under the hot sun. BUT! thank the heavens for physics, because due to the higher SHC of water as compared to air, the water was FREEZING! and i mean freezing. almost as cold as my ice bath the night before. yup so we swam in the cold cold water. a relatively slack workout. but only because my arms are currently stiff from being idle for the past week (been tapering for xctry. not worth it actually, considering my performance). mm so i just swam at this really slow pace. hah.
i still insist that clement looks like jingxian! it's so scary. esp when they have similar goggles. ofcourse one's distinctly thinner than the other. but uh, we're talking about general facial features here. heh. the hair also! omg. scary. maybe this is a prophecy. lol.
after the swim jiaolian was kind enough to take time off to help us with transition skills! yay. i'm very very grateful for that cos this is sth i've been dying to learn. haven't exactly learnt the proper way. but i'm glad that i'm on my way. took me a HELL lot of time to muster enough guts to lift my right leg off, cross over, and alight from the bike. haha. there was this buncha adults standing at the entrace of the clubhouse, watching clarissa and i practice. clarissa (the more psychomotor skill-inclined one) managed to get it at the first/ second try. ahha i was trying till the cows came home. and when i FINALLY got it (at the expense of bruising my legs), the bunch of adults actually CLAPPED. HAHAH! i was shocked! so supportive even though they don't know me and i dont' know them. lol. so cool. ahh but still a long way to go! cos i only did that with sandals. haven't tried with bike shoes yet. let alone, barefooted. oh and not to mention the mounting one.. jiaolian does it SO EASILY! ahh. i'm envious.
someone and someone's parents later proceded into a semi-debate about clarissa's and my bike.
"your stem should be shorter"
"your seat is too high!"
"you should get a shorter frame, this is too long for you!"
"lower your handlebars, this is too high"
i swear, i wanted to throw something.... nevermind. wth please be more sensitive to others la. not everyone has the luxury of having a large flow of CASH to buy a new bike whenever something is "too high", "too long" or "not good enough". i'm contented with my beautiful trek 1400. and as i said to them, i will buy a new bike when i turn pro. ahahha. which might be never. but yeah, i'm happy with my bike now so stop trying to put a wedge between my bike and i. good ole chinese fireball and i are good pals! we've been together for a year now. heehee. cheers to a long lasting relationship!
ARGH so much friggin work to do. and my chem is terribly behind. seriously. i know only as much as a sec one (: because i turned my ears off during chem lessons from sec two onwards. blame the teachers.. they kill your interest.
watching encore of miss singapore universe now. omg... it's . hahaha. nevermind.

i'm wearing pam's present now! hehehe. it's sooooo nice! (: are you happy pam? ahha i'm wearing it to sleep tonight. in my 25deg room. wore it to tuition. it's damn comfy!!! hope i don't get a rash. cos i haven't washed it yet. first time i'm wearing sth new i haven't washed. happy anot pam? haha.
BIKE TRAINING TMR. oh yah. JINA'S GOING TO JINAN TMR. i know i said that in the last post. but yeah, means i won't be seeing her till.. a long time more. hahaha. everyone, please observe a moment of silence (and celebrate because now there will be many more moments of silence without jina's incessant chattering).
