u think i'll really leave my blog stagnated till april. ahaha. reason why i blog is cos i completed the damned C++ common test (finally history) 25 mins earlier.... filled up blanks only. did a 6.8k with Cerelia at sch track. cant seem to get enough oxygen in my lungs liddat... i guess the oxygen capacity in the lungs is not the great yet. will slowly build the distance up...
tmr is better la. though i havent prepared a nut yet. maths test and comm skills presentation on running ;)
cant wait for exams to be over. have huggee plans after that ... heh heh heh -K.O. at 10:10 p.m.

been down in the dumps lately. today just made it worst... nasty side-effects arising:
insecure abt my new hair style. will take a few days of getting use to it i guess. i feel that i had lost some of my femininity.
C++. argh. lab test was ...(a failure)... i just hope for at least a C overall. dont want the result slip look any worst than that.
horrors of horrors. i cant go for the last sea trng before MR500 because of this mind-blowing common test. no chance i can skip this CT. so it is tragic that C++ existed in the engrg side.
though i tried hard to control my cravings, i gave in to some unwillingly. but NOT the KFC part (later in the evening). had to distract myself. bought yet another pianoful album ...by Michael Dulin [Once upon a time]. i'll do anything to stop a senseless craving especially when it comes after 6pm.
shankes. blew a big hole in my pocket le. and a bigger hole in my heart. part of me regretted going for haircut. i would wanna shave botak too. (as Za suggested to herself that time. hehe. another alternative is to have longer hair so i can keep it high on my head. hmm... but i had that style for 4 yrs.
.......patience....... ..... ...... ..... .....

To Thiru: U make me feel warm & fuzzy with your tags. Thanks for being so supportive. :) some ppl might just freak out at the distance i run. i dont believe in going all-out in a run unless there is a need to, for eg, NAPFA or some competition. I thanked my mom for the running genes. She used to do x-country races & ran every morning. maybe that is the reason why i could progress so fast. (of course i exercise safety). Rmbr i was rather sedentary in secondary school? hehhe. all i did was taking part in some compulsory annual x-country at mcritchie and NAPFA. even tried the 4 x 400m school sports competition with meifang, runqing and angeline and got 3rd by a stroke of luck. running, or should i say, jooging was once in a blue moon then. i would really be glad to join u in any sports (or other) activity. miss GRSS days when i could see u guys day in and out.
the highlight of the day: Comm skills Common test 3.30pm-5pm. crammed my prep. from 8 - then was just hanging ard school with siti and sometimes yaokun and studying everywhere i go. The paper was looonnnnggg. 10 freaking pages. i am positive that i will get an A though. if not, a B would suffice.
totally relieved after that. cerelia was just next door (LT-Q) doing the same paper. haha. met her up for run.
i am unpredictable. no wonder i feel queasy before each run. because i dont know how much i will run or how fast until 2 rounds of warmup.
covered anti-closewise, clockwise and walk-jogged backwards for lasr 200m after a break.
in total i did 7km = 17+ rounds. result? felt like i could still carry on but my face was already flushed and right leg felt heavy. :x
massaged the whole of my both legs with lavender shower gel during bath. so shiok man. the true alternative to icing. felt better.
can continue trng tmr. :)

i realized my team mates are the ones that spur me on.
not the regime, not the overall hype cos they are just things.
i love the bond now. but there is still a part of me that want more guys and gals back... where are you???!!!
had a long day... thot i would be dead after it all but running with Hid and the gals felt very good....
they completed though we didnt run together... large gap betw us and them.
last time i was forced to run faster, to keep with with the seniors, to close up the gap. i dont know about now. maybe they need time. i would love to speed that up.
anyway, there is always room for improvement... like on my part, i never did an all out run-run before. let alone doing it in record time. did gym 3.75kg, 20 reps.... didnt do at lightning speed. still tired lei but running not tired. still felt like i could fly for 3 more rounds after doing 9.
my enthusiasium have been postponed to tomorrow. will be running with cerelia after our comm skills test, which ends at 5 pm. the rest will be at kallang for sea trng. sigh. is that suppose to be good or bad? the next time i might row will be MR500 liao. ;__; sobss.
realized i got a lot of thing to prepare for my unprepared comm skills common test. thot of drawing up a study plan and split the load till 3pm to make good use of the seemingly endless breaks.
about the sucky C++ project, guohao saved my life bigg time. hope i can hlp him tis CT to get a B at least. he so shy sia. -K.O. at 11:10p.m.

Weather Report: Todays sun shone on jil and i and the whole of kallang. can feel the heat still... even after bath. wahhh... but caught the winners' races so it's worth it all.
Jil & i and me & Jil went taohuay-ing at this taohuay stall after jw's last race. chatted & chatted & chatted til we drowned in the comfy cool atmosphere... almost dozing off then went back together on MRT and snoozed off again.
The bottom line: We enjoyed ourselves... loads. :D
cannot take it le!!! Need to put moisturizer. it's killing... killer sun... O'-'O burnt.
freak the whole of next wk. like wadeverrr.

Did Hatha Yoga at Pacific Plaza in the morning. Sweated my face off but thighs and back felt gooooooddd. Sucha treat man. like therapeutic message with self-induced pain and endurance.
I wish i could join True Yoga but it being a club, it's extremely costly. starting cost = 300 plus And 70 CENTs and every month, $88. That's for a year, $200 subsidised by SHAPE. sponsership anyone? :) too great a request ya. so... maybe i'll live on crumbs and water and start saving.
Collected Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, which i ordered on 18/02/05, from HMV before heading home. :)
my back aching le... feels as though i'd rowed long and hard. thought of sourcing for a good yoga club after exams with cerelia. u might wonder how come melissa so kuku over yoga right. its b'cos
Yoga loosens hamstrings, increase flexibility and strength, encourages weight loss, compliments running and rowing, heals the insides out. -K.O. at 03:40 p.m.

today's really hard trng... the running and weights. *phew. ran hard since round 1. abt halfway thru, some started to slow down esp after the indie sprints... finally left jazz and i leading. -.-; anyway, if only i can row as hard/good as i run... perhaps it's a passion thing. cant really call 9 other gals, grab a paddle and start rowing in a boat eh. inconvenient. unlike running. so dat's why have to (try..try.. must!) treasure sea trng.
no more sea trng on sat til after MR500. will be shifted to weekdays or row at pool? :P oh my.
I realized it helps any situation to prepare your mind for it. sth like feedforward [comm skills]. +'_'+ -K.O. at 11:00 p.m.

Talk abt daily perks... haha. did a run/jog with Yani jr just now at sch track while Za ppl watched. since i paced, i dont do anything standard.
2 rounds warmup-1 round clockwise (dat experience felt Wierd as kayakers and NAPFA runners seemed like they were chionging towards us)-4 sets of 2 rounds (100m dash at the last of each set)- 1 last round run (which only i did)- 1 round slow jog.
Grand total of 13 rounds = 5.2km.
Yani survived! woohoo :D cos i was doing the talking while running. kept her on track. Told her a lot abt running and rowing but i guess only 60% or less was registered. there's a limit to how much one can absorb in a setting.
Really looking forward to seeing the gals tmr. As each day draws past, MR500 is zooming too... and im quite excited. hehe... it'll be a vry good prep for coming jun race ie- 800m.
Studies wise... Embarked on C++ proj already. no choice la... came up with the table of exams/proj submission/CT... scary ah.... every wk have CT until the end of exams. no study break sommore. gonna cram everything.
i still wanna train! :)
So..... will start like... now?! ahhh.....
To Those Taking Exams (or such) Soon:
GOOD LUCK!!!! -K.O. at 09:15 p.m.

Duper Happy sia... on Cloud 9 cos ahemhem shot me down with this > :) *faints*
Let's begin with how half of today's battle was won. Survived workshop session... did icky milling metal piece and got hands filthy with coolant -bleah- That was 3 solid hrs... every tue morning.... spoiler. And after this sem i wun ever wanna deal with it.
[Phase 2] German 1-3pm. quite fun la... practised role play script and tried hard to understand what the dialogue in a BBC German show was abt. So Cheem man -.- but challenging- i like! Planned to take German OE (Optional Elective)in Yr 3 and a "Certified To Speak German" cert. make my momma pr0ud. *grins*
EPC: paid real close attention. i'm working towards an A. muahuahua.
Trng: Ran the gabra way. haha... didnt follow Ben in his 8 rounds track. did 3 rounds track then accompanied hai on field for 5 rounds den another 2 rounds faster on track. still not enuff sia... felt like running another 3 more. think i went too slow at the start. Pool trng-- Za's constant reminder rung. haha... follow timing, stroke by stroke... then hai's static rowing. Ben seemed happier today.
k now abt ahemhem, he developed muscles le! (like durh- being in DB) wadever-- his eyes and smile beat all that. glad to see him more in sem 2 trng hehee...

pacified my problems with draggy lessons which turned out pretty useful since my days as yr 1 is numbered.
And there's the always homely, warm, comfy German club. attended the baking session after sch today. Most of the club members are from ECC or SCL but that only mattered in the beginning :) Our table prepared Apfelstreuselkuchen. make a guess what it is? ....
Newaes' after eating and much fun, we had to name any 2 items on food table in German. Not that tuff... with the handbook haha.
hmm, so guessed already? it's AppleStrudel cake.
Fav. Rockin-

The accomplishments today
- walked to MRT stn from home ie 3 busstops down, and after sch, back.
- Did a recovery jog on treadmill at a slow pace for 47 minutes. if not for 98.7FM, i would be bored to tears > just moving non-stop.
- went home straight after sch... cos i was washed-out.
- gotten over Samurai X tho i still watch the episodes religiously. realized his philosophy was too abstract; too 'superman' for me to take it esp. when he's just ONE man with a sword in a horse-carriage era. too bad he passed out/dieded while fighting with Shishio... hmm cant be dead anyway i hope. still have abt 20 more episodes before it ends its run in late march. *sigh*... can only catch the following one on wed 6am.
Discipline. Focus. Being Unemotional.
what do these words have in common?
they are the keys to attaining whatever realistic goals you set. or so, i learnt it thru TeeVee in an extreme (makeover via weight-loss) programme. i'm on my way to reaching that double figure weight without compromising on carbo. 5 more months to go. and then, maintaining that physique would be a lifetime committment. yeah!
