i'm not here to win
i'm here to leave a legacy
back to where dreams started
it's the passion that drives you
endorphins
pain
exhaustion
chasing this insane dream

took part in the osim corp tri yestd- MINI tri relay. did the swim leg (a very disappointing, unsatisfying, crowded 200m) representing the OSIM team. hahah Jina, Liying and I all did the swim leg for 3 diff OSIM teams. i think the run to transition was more tiring than the swim itself. however, i got groped, punched, kicked and many other things in the water.. it was a nice feeling. (oh wait, that sounds wrong). i mean... nice feeling to be "racing" (i put it in inverted commas cos this wasn't really much of a race lol). we got there a tad too early thanks to the pot so we pretty much sat around for 2 hrs talking. was nice to just sit by the sea and talk and listen and breathe in the fresh morning air. my favourite part of the whole (very short) race was when i ran up the transition bridge, passed Jina and heard her shout "SHIT YOU LA, PAT!" to me. hahahah. i thought it was really damn funny hahahaha. the race lasted almost 5 minutes i think. lol hahaha. i sound pathetic. was really nice to meet lotsa people i haven't seen for ages though- uncle rob :D, uncle nick, jerry, jon fong (liying pointed him out while he was racing and said, "ta gan ma bi zhe ge?!" lol). while Jina was recounting her taiwan race experience to me (well ok not the race but the trip) i was suddenly reminded of why i love going overseas for races so much. haha. really miss it. even though the last one was only a mere 6mths ago, still feels like it's been years.. guess it's cos so much has happened since then. in any case, if you asked me to race right now i'd probably pull my muscles starting off... rarrr i'm having a craving to raceeee. ahha but this craving isn't like any food craving, it can't be satisfied immediately. i foresee that it'll take more than a year to satisfy.. :(
today's penny's birthday. too bad we can't celebrate it with her cos she's somewhere in the outback hiding with the kangaroos and fixing them up with walkie talkies or sth. rahh really miss her :( miss pam too! our family is shrinking... sometime-brother is morphing into almost-never-brother. sian.
