No more .. please, im sick of this

Sushi that is. "No more sushi for me for the next 3 months."

Anyway, its been a really lousy week for me. My attention span's been strangely short in class and I've found myself repeatedly blanking out during lectures. My kicks are shitty, and my motivation is low as hell. I haven't been covering much mileage this week, and I've missed the gym for my 2nd week straight. Besides that, I've got a hell lot of maths to work on.

I guess this all goes back to the fundamentals
First fundamental rule - No pain no gain.

So .. tomorrow and Sunday, with all my dead sore legs in my shorts, I WILL

- cover some mileage
- swim
- gymwerkz
- do all my dam tutorials
- do two maths topics (i hope)

Interest
i've lost it temporarily

Mileage - 6.778km / 4.211 miles
Time - 43 minutes

Total mileage this month - 29.974 km / 18.988 miles

Unsatisfied with the way i had spent this horrible day, i put all my legs in my shorts, and headed for a short jog, determined to exceed the 30km mileage barrier for this month. And as u can see, it looks like i missed it by 30metres. what the heck.

I set off at 8pm, and the sky had already darkened. The route was the usual, but the scene was the un-usual. By the time i had reached arena, the sky was pitch blackened, lit only by the orange road lamps. I don't know if its my paranoia, but the long stretch of road was dam freaking foggy today, which was extremely unusual for a day with a warm afternoon such as today. The combination of - the empty long road - the pitch blackened sky - the unusually foggy path - made me cheat on my jog today. I don't wana bring any 'johns' home with me. I made a U-turn for home as soon as i passed Arena, skipping the Discovery Centre loop, which cost me around 300m or 500m of mileage, and not to mention my 30km mileage barrier for this month. SHIT.

Anyway, today's tkd training saw its first serious casualty in a long time. Shan't say further. Hope nothings wrong though. hahah. HUAT AH! I gotta go rest my tired legs.


Passion

in the world
Cause if you've got it
you'll never get enough

The doctor

Mileage - 0
Time - 0

=(

I've been struggling to strike a balance between running and homework, and i guess that's recently taken its toll on me =(

I'm down on my 3rd day of flu, and developing a cough. So i took a breather today and skipped school. I decided to go to the doctor to get some medicine. But i had to get my personal medicine first at Arena. HAHA, yes. Pool with gay Isa and gay Zhi Wei. Though my highlight only begun when we were finishing our session. what a waste, sigh lol.

The old doctor asked me a random question today.

"So, do you want to be a doctor?"

I thought he was reading my mind.
"Yes, how did u know?" i asked him

"I merely asked" he replied.
WHAT A DOCTOR huh? Just the tinge of inspiration i needed.

Mr doc said
One day maybe
you'll be sitting in my chair
and i'll be sitting in yours!
WOW!

Mileage : 12.519 km / 7.77miles
Time : 1 hour 17 minutes

Total Mileage this month : 23.196 km / 14.777 miles

I took a brutally breathtaking jog today. I went two rounds pass Arena Country Club to the Discovery Center today. It was my first time doing 2 'laps'.

The run started off horribly. About 7minutes into the run, i accidentally pulled on the wire cord of my nike+ earphones, robbing me of my music after only 7minutes. I tried my best twitching and turning the wires at the base, but gave up after awhile, convinced it was useless to try further. I clinged the earphones onto my neck (they're behind the ears 'cling' kinda earphones) and continued my run, much to the dislike of running without music.

My knees and quads started to burn out after 15 minutes into the jog, when i commenced my first turn into a straight long path down to the Discovery Center. I tried running slower , didnt work. I tried running with bigger steps , didnt work. HECK , i just ran.

The burns bothered me until i made my 2nd lap. I was sweating jugs of water out by then, and my burns probably sweated away with it.

Thats all. gotta go !
chao

The burns in my knees and thighs
the spoilt earphones
the sun
its good training!!

First day of school

Mileage - 1.6km -.-
Time - maybe 10 minutes -.-

today's jog was a pathetic 4 rounds around the track. Had been looking forward to something much better, oh well -.-.

I got caught first thing in the morning for my approximately 1 or 2 cm long sideburns. "WTF" was the reaction in my head. "This must be a joke", the immediate next thought to zoom pass my mind. I just got my haircut 2 days ago. I wonder what the definition of having a 'short haircut' really means in JJ. What a great way to start my first day of school =.=.

Well, thats all. Gotta work on volumes of
undone holiday homework,
and the upcoming tests,
and the assignment,
and do some revision.
(just kidding, I'm not gona do it all obviously.)

In a society
Where short hair
is defined by Sloped hair
and nothing else
-.- zz

I've been planning my jog routes on google maps. And I've only recently discovered the "distance measurement tool" on the website. So for today's run,

Mileage : 9.07km / 6.01miles
Time : 56minutes

I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today.

It was one of those "Tomorrow sucks" kind of mornings, where you wake up, and you simply can't gasp the optimism to do anything. That was my morning. I dragged myself into the swimming pool to take my mind off things for a temporary 3 hours. And guess who i met on my way out. Astro-Boy! Yeah, you guessed it. I met Mr Tan !!! of all the places. And he was with his girlfriend too. Awestruck.

Its back to reality tomorrow, somehow I'm not looking forward to it, yet delighted to be back to school.

CRAZY

Crazily hot. thats what the models on Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was. Darn hot. *splash ice water over my head*

Caught a glimpse of some ranking matches at Arena after finishing my time with chemistry at Burger Kings today. sweet.

Gotta say, I'm slowly but surely picking up the tempo. Though, I'm well aware that i only have 3 days left to finish revising for my J1 syallubus. Shit. Someone like muggers like Gideon and secret muggers like Simon probably have entire textbooks in their armory. I've only got chunks of chapters of chemistry and bio in mine. Gotta pick up the pace baby.


- Random stuff -

In 2005, Adrian Mok, an endurance athlete, ran an Ultramarathon of 168km. Adrian completed the race in a little more than 24 hours. - Adidas sundown website.

I just watched the news, and it seems like some Aviva Ironman participant is gonna run do a super 217km run in Africa this February. THAT IS INSANE i tell you. I reckon it would take around 30 - 35 hours of non-stop running to complete that distance. Whats' crazier is his training routine. This 55 year old dude runs 40km and 80km every alternate weekend as training for his run. THAT IS INSANE. I wonder, how the hell does his knees hold up to that kind of mileage training ?! Salutations to this crazy guy. Someone truely fit to be called a humanoid IronMan (irony isnt it).

RECENTLYs ..

.. I've been waking up early to soak up the glorious morning sun. I mean it. I've only recently discovered that swimming in the morning could be so enjoyable. Anyway, school starts next week, so it seems like my new found enjoyment will be a short lived one.

.. I've been struggling to integrate the extremely crucial 'mugging' component into my lifestyle. And I'm glad to say its working well. Or at least, i think its working well.

.. I've been spending all my midnights seated outdoors in a 24hour McDonald's restaurant, sipping on my favorite caffeine candy (cappuccino), downloading information from my notes into my brain's C:/ drive.



ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I find myself afraid of whats to come when school reopens. My foundations are weak, and my motivation barely separated from complacency. I am so not ready for school, but i guess times' not gona wait for me. It never does.

Speaking of looks, this'll be my last year with hair. (on my head that is).
I pledge to try all sorts of stupid hairdos this year before it gets shaved off.
Yeah, im going kamikaze baby.

I've always wanted to know ..

... how far school really is from home. So with all my legs in my shorts, i jogged the distance this evening. I reached school after a breezey 25minutes jog from home. But i reckon could have been much faster, cause i had to stop for and wait for those spoiler traffic lights to go greenman. I hate traffic lights solely because it makes me look dumb, jogging on the spot in the middle of a traffic junction with loadfull eyes on buses staring at you.

Anyway, I guess i could cycle to school in future if a new bike miraculously and magically drops infront of my doorstep later this year. *HINTS* lol.


I felt a familiar soreness down my throat as i made my U-turn at JJC, heading towards Jurong Point. A sense of dehydration had hit me, and i found myself moving my tongue around to swallow some saliva to ease the soreness. Thanks to that, the next 15 minutes got better, and more enjoyable. I had intended to extend my jog route from jurong point, further down to arena.

But by the time i hit Pioneer MRT station (its the extension line, down from Boonlay MRT), i was getting lazy. Pschologically. Homework, tkd admin, LEFT 4 DEAD! these unholy thoughts cramped up my mind. I broke my running spree after approx. 1hour and 4minutes to get my much anticipated cold 100+ bottle - its a life saver.


I walked toward the stadium to hit the rusty pull up bar. Or rather, to work out my rusty pull ups. Did a random 2 rounds at the stadium, and walked home.

Time check - 1 hour 21 minutes

Sucks.
I'll just keep waiting.

Either

My mood has been a dull shade of grey because my life is in a total mess,
Or
My life is in a total mess because my mood has been a dull shade of grey.

I don't really know which is which, but the unshakable rock solid reality is that, i have ALOT - of HOMEWORK to do. And my self - discipline has been a total let down recently. I've been shooting off zombie limbs and heads on LEFT 4 DEAD whenever I'm at home, and playing pool whenever I'm at burger kings.

If my life were to be represented using the analogy of a jigsaw puzzle, homework would be like a jigsaw puzzle piece with a manufacturing deficit. It simply doesnt slot in. And it would probably be a 1000 or 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle, because currently, the puzzle just doesnt seem to make sense. Though im sure it would, eventually.

And somewhere in that mountain of un-examined jigsaw pieces
I hope one comes representing the word
"chance"

First post of 2009

it only makes sense for my first post of 2009 to start with my new year resolutions right? here it goes, all typed out in less then 15 minutes.

So, according to level of importance,
I hope to ..
  • Mug hard (its something i don't do often)
  • Score A-A-B-B for Alvls, or at least an A-B-B-B >.< - the Bs being mainly my chem and maths, if worst, bio.
  • Be a finisher of 42km at Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009
  • Be a finisher of 21km at Standard Chartered Marathon 2009
  • Run at least the first 20km continuously
  • Get at least 4points for 2.4km.
  • Get at least a gold for this year's fitness test.
  • Visit Thailand at the end of the year for at least a week long of Muay Thai Training at FAIRTEX / RAWAII Muay Thai / or Por Pramuk gym.
Yeah, i guess that's it. But for now, its mugga mugga for me. I hope for a miracle for my maths T.T.

I guess
