And so......I made my 2nd attempt two days ago. I was put on hold for quite a long time when I called up to make sure that the person I'm looking for will be around. Nevertheless, I took the risk for another time since the shop is on my way home......

It's fated...... after like half an hour chatting...etc he checked his stock and there's only 2 model available for my size... One is so low end there's no point getting, one is perfectly fine, good deal but the color really sux...^_^. The next batch will probably have to wait till Jan or something.......Sianz...x100 So what now..... I dunno....I'll probably have to sacrifice more of my time to go hunt for another one....:(

I am nothing but tired this morning...... I need more sleeps.......... Lack of sleep from the workout cum the late night DVD few days back, the idea of going to 3 classes at one go yesterday, turned out to be 2.5 in the end :) I sneak out for a 20mins break to chat with my spin 'classmate' who fell asleep while spinning ^_^ ***faint*****


On a side note.......IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trainer give a short briefing to all when we reached the top of FC. 4 loops of 1.2km in interval speed....Uhm..... But.....I'm already on tempo speed in the first few km keeping myself within a distance with the group. And now interval speed for 4 loops....Hmm...giving myself excuses again....I'm not running SCM, so I'll just tag along in recovery speed and to settle down my heart rate a little...No interval for the time :) I still need to conserve some energy to go back...And...Ihad a great company on the way back jogging/running/walking :)

Oh...and I must say that Mr.Bean soyamilk with watermelon juice is heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!

I must have been too pampered of having the luxury to swim in a pool that hardly have more than 10 swimmers. It's smaller than the usual 50m pool and is within my height in the entire pool. As expected, I got a little panic when dipping myself in a public pool with many swimmers around. Got worst when looking down the pool seeing that it's deeper than my heights. Haha.... I think I need to go to the public pool more regular to get used to all this obstacle and practice on my 'vertical breast stroke' :)

It was supposedly to take place yesterday evening but it didn't materialized!!!

First time ever.....I felt dissapointed of not being able to spent that money...^_^

The last time I visited Mt Faber was before Gold Coast Marathon. That’s like 5 months ago. 1 year ago that killer slope in Kg Bahru is killing me. 1 year later, it is still as tough!!! The fact that I have not been doing those slopes for a few months and with some sng-ness from Monday’s class, the tough gets tougher. I can almost feel the juice squeezing out from my leg muscle…uhm…a bit exaggerate lah…but that’s the way to describe the built up of lactic acid…no?? :P Then again, I also think that I’m having a little bit phobia on that slopes. It’s mind over body I’m sure. I do think that I can conquer them but everytime when I’m about to approach that slopes, I know for sure I’ll be greeted with my legs screaming and lung bursting, even though that may not be the case at times….Oh well…I just need more training…

Perhaps I should also join in the rest of the gym go-ers, in particular to this branch that I always go to, whinging about the recent big hoo-haa that they made after the change of management.

Why do people make so much changes in process, exterior layout, internal management after there is a change of management? Is it all about telling people that they are now the boss, they have their way of doing things and the so call intention to improve things actually creates a negative impact to the gym go-ers without them knowing......

Apart from all those mess resulting from the renovation,

1) Spin class is now in a much smaller room but with more bikes. Cramp!!!

2) Need to obtain a token from the reception if you wanna to go for any classes. This is not the same as the stickers that they used to issued out because why?? Someone will now be walking around the classroom or waiting at the door to collect the token back from you...... And the token is just a piece of paper. Either you must have a pocket else chances of loosing it is high....... Nothing but troublesome...Maybe....the new management wanna to create more job opportunities.....

3) The so call ladies section was teared down....Dunno if that is still the ladies section but there's no more privacy at all with the partition teared down. Now, what's gonna happen to those ladies who doens't feel comfortable working out with the guys??

There should be more suprises coming up in my next visit...I'm sure..........

It just feel so strange....After the visa approval, I had a dream the night after that....It's a yellow/black Cannondale :) Muahahahah

In addition to that hour of run in the morning, that close to 2 hours in the pool has sent me drop dead on my bed before 9pm :) The moment I know I'm still alive, is 5.59am and yet!!! I'm still feeling exhausted now??!?! Apart from the 200m warmup swim, the rest are all drills and drills and drills.... progessing well but not as slippery as I want it to be .....Patience I will be.....

And by the way.....I've just given a verbal visa to go-ahead to splurge aka invest on something.....hehe...Yay!! I've one item less to consider in my justification :) Now...I'm putting this up here so that I'll hold myself accountable and get it done soooonnnnnn........ Just in case....he'll come to me say "talk talk talk so much still haven't get it!!!". ***finger cross**toe cross**, hopefully this is not 3 minute heat and will add more colours to my workout very soon:)

Something is very wrong with my........digestion system the entire week!! I felt hungry like half an hour after my main meal?? And....I don't feel full after having a sumptious lunch? ^_^ Does looks more of a psycological thing but why??? The everyday routine is still the same...maybe there's a slight increase in my workout intensity in the last 2 weeks but still it shouldn't react this way.... Whatever it is........all I need is discipline and self control!!!!!!

Today's topic at church was rather appealing and just in time for me to do some self reflection. Have I been demonstrating a Christian characteristic in my surrounding?? Who am I to those in my community.....I guess regardless, we are still a bunch of blessed one, although life may not be as smooth as we want it to be at times. There's light at the end of the tunnel, there's always someone Up there, looking after us. So...live life to the fullest and with thanksgiving each day.....Suddenly......I have so many "garn chu" today after reading a friend's blog and after an in-promptu kopi session with another this afternoon....haha.....

I finally made a comeback to CBD after more than 3 months of absent. It was a “just do it and whack” decision as I’m feeling a new weird sensation on a new spot at the knee. I totally ignored that and made my way to CBD. With some ache here and there after yesterday pump and spin class, I’m not sure if I could hold up doing the loops at Fort Canning. Just whack, I keep telling myself.

Glad to see some oldbies as there seems to be quite a fair bit of new faces to me. Start point to FC followed by 6 loops up there…….Nice……… but I have no intention to do 6 at all..haha….
Mentally prepared that the group is no longer the same as it was when I first join CBD 2 years back. The pace will be fast I know. Warming up myself as I tagged closely to the mid-last pack. Soon it as just me and Joanna after her usual toilet break. Pace remain pretty fast…for me at least…..but I like J Give me the shiok-ness inside out. Now…..how good will that be if I could hold on to this pace till the end….

2 loops is all I wanna do up there. Nothing more for I still wanted to make my way back comfortably….haha…excuses excuses… Anyway, I had a nice chat with Xiao Di as he pace me all the way on our way back. Such an encouraging young man he is. Super energetic and full of jokes, even give me a few challenges to do some interval….

To sum it all, this just do it and whack run ended up pretty well. I’m also very satisfied with my new CBD tee. The reflective stars is the best…Can spot our kaki from far in the midst of darkness…Cool!!!

A trip that I have been looking forward for almost a year and was supposedly to take place next week, was cancelled last minute due to insufficient takers to conduct the course…. With all my tickets and hotel booked, I now have to cancel all of them…..:( NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
