this is just about the worst semester ever.
the worst recess week.
and the most scary experience ever.
i think i'm fucking suay.
ok first things first, since i'm gonna have all the time in the world to not go for training, for the next couple of weeks, i should be able to concentrate on all the shit assignments that i'm drowning in. but i'm a last min worker, and the deadlines and assignments are kinda arranged in a shitty way. and the rate in which the work is coming in is kinda overwhelming.
i think i'm not able to churn them out in time actually.
u know, u know? last min, so i wont really be inclined to start work. but submissions are like too many at the same time. so pok = dead.
so so, i'm kinda settled in my new room high up and isolated. the toilerts are not done technically, but i'm using it already, hahha like just dun care. esp on days where i;m really tired. [which is not going to be the case, in the near future.]
and now i cant climb it as freely as i used to..
so i shall start with today:
today was a lazy monday morning, obviously the blues affected me the moment i opened my eyes, but had to make my way to training cos there was some time trial. a 10km time trial. i was not awake, but had to push thru with it. so i thought we started a little fast, by the 3rd km i wa kinda tired. then there was some tilt in the middle, then it was kinda shakey thru-out. but the timing was not fantastic or not exactly really bad.
then we were supposed to head out for lunch. before we make our way to school. we hopped on to aik teo's car, and boom! all i saw was two cars charging us really quickly. den we were all shaken. like big time. i remember seeing green light. but i didnt see if it was clear. and i think he didnt see the other cars as well and just turned right at the cross junction. i felt nausea and light headed, then i was wasnt seeing clearly, everything was really bright, anything that was in the sun was kinda glowing and glaring, and nothing was clear, like i developed astigmatism instantly. then after a while it cleared up, then peggy was complaining that her arm was in pain. she fractured it in the collision i guess. was an open fracture. and it was swollen, it kinda reminded me of myself in sec school, i also fractured my arm playing soccer. mine was pulled and twisted back but a specialist that happened to be visiting. lucky me, if that failed then i'm gonna have to open it up and screw it back together. but heng lor,,, it worked, then for 6 months my forearm was in a cast. think the same is gonna be for peggy.
the bourne supremacy is showing n tv now and i'm not exactly too fond of the car chase scenes.
so back to the story.
i tried to climb out of the car when the vision cleared up and the nausea went away. den my knees felt rather weak so i just sat there for a while more. till the paramedics came, i climbed out and too my bag and stuff,,, thank god the laptop is not banged up.. and i hopped on the ambulance. it went to sgh instead of ttsh! seperated frm the rest, and then waited for a super long time! like almost 2 hours. and then i realized it was painful to extend my leg. then bumped in to jimson at there, yes.. of all places.. and he got me some food and drink. my jaw was hurting when i was munching and when it finally came my turn i was given a jab to reduce swelling and pain. on my bum. and it kinda had this dull aching sensation as i sat back down on the wheelchair.
i went for an x ray, to check if i had any fractures cos of the jaw discomfort, then my knees were x rayed as well. cos of the swelling, which was weird. cos it was above the knees. like... then i was told everything was clear. no fractures and i should be able to limp home. i was like thanks... *running thru my head was like fucker, limp home is an option eh? they gave me panadol and some stronger painkillers, nothing to help with the soft tissue injury. damn sian. so i took about 15~20 min to limp or th hospital to the mrt station. like thanks to my dad and mom that had to work.
ha lazy to rotate it. live with it k..
so now going up the steps is less of a problem, going down in the problem.. and my room is like on the 5th level.
and i think the driver's greatest problem would be apologizing to peggy and her family..
ok on to happier stuff.
i have completed my first triathlon.
and i'm quite excited about it. like kinda excited about the sport.
i kinda gave myself a target of 3 hours to complete the whole thing, haha factor-ing a lousy and do-able timing for each of the segment.
i told myself, a 30 min swim followed by a 1hr30min cycling leg, then i gave myself 1hr to run...
in the end it turned out a little better.
the swim: was kinda relaxing, tho the timing was rather decent, i think i found a pack that swam decent. lucky me. but unlucky me, was kicked in the face, and y goggles came off. one side. and i had a black eye. we should shoot those breaststroke queens during such events. and other than that it was a very pleasent swim!

the cycling: was kinda shitty, i fell right after the first turn. it was dramatic dramatic dramatic. hahha there were people and cyclist that went OH OH OH! aas i fell. yes. how malu. ok that aside, so i was kinda scared. and i went slow for all the turns which was really very many of them. i was kinda taking it easy, and i tried to go harder for my last 2 rounds. i was so so afraid that i counted wrongly, if i went for an extra lap or did one less, den i'll just die. yes. thank god again. ha i sound like i go to church each week hor... hahha but must thank some one la.. hahha
the run: was PAINFUL. i got off the bike, and my legs were like jello. JELLo0. i had trouble moving them. i was like what legS? i shuffled my feet out of the transition area, and they almost cramped up. the pwer gel was super like chocolate fudge. very thick and horrible. so i was praying for a water point. to my disappointment it was really far away. -.- and my throat almost dried up. so i was jogging at the pace of an ah pek walking. not kidding. and the first round was really horrible. by the second round i was kinda able to open up. and the cramps just took a back seat.
as i reached the ending, and saw the finish line, i broke a smile. the sense of achievement was kinda huge. i didnt really expect much and i was kinda decent for a first time, tho i would really wanna cut some time for my next race. an the cycling leg looks like the place that i could shave off minutes and of cos for the run la... but ihate running right? hahhha
so half iron man? i'll have to think about it again .when my legs are back online.
i kinda went to take a look at some bikes, and this was one of the bikes i looked at. its 1800 at the limit of my estimated budget. and it looks something like that. or should i spend about a 1000 more to get a getter and lighter gear set or a better set of wheels? i'm really undecided, but seems like i've got to keep that on hold first. before i settle on one. its gonna cost a fortune cos i've got to get the other gear as well.
the bike i saw, that was within budget.

1] bike - maybe have to change wheel set and maybe the seat.
2] helmet
3] cleats and biking shoes
4] a cateye
5] cycling attire
6] and stuff i cant remember la. but its gonna cost a ton of money.
thanks to the swim training with the ivp people, i did a decent 26:30min
the cycle and running was thanks to roderick, who was rather encouraging, was way way faster then me for cycling and was the one pushing me for the runs around school after some cyclng. i did 1hr20min for the biking and 50:58min for the run!
total timing was about 2hrs38min20sec or something like that.

like my aims for each of the races i join. i aim to come in the top 20% or for bigger races, i aim to come in top 25%.
so my next aim is like the half ironman, which is gonna be next year.. but with things now, i think i'll have to rethink it, cos i have one month less to train.
here are the pictures of the bike which i borrowed, and i'm gonna return soon...


this bike has history man... it has completed half ironman and ironman and various other triathlons! and i crashed it.
there was this really chio bike and i went up to ask if i could ake a foto with it.... i then asked how much it is... and he said it was really cheap actually, slightly under 10k.. -.-/// like wtf... how is 9plus K cheap?

was looking for tri suits too... but then... dint buy in the end... no money.

yes i have no money because i'm in my third year. quite asking. and assuming nie pple are all loaded. go screw urself for thinking that.
so so... currently busy with project, art project.
bought 100kgs of charcoal, and painted over it twice, the bigger pieces only, it was horrible cos initially we thought we could dip it in pain and let it drain off,, little did we know its not possible at all, so we have to manually paint in with fingers and brushes. yes, we almost died in the process, now we are going to write on it. most of the pieces la... sure die. damn sian. and i've got to limp my way to school tml to do project. the group really no sympathy one leh... sigh. got mc aslo not effective. farking sian. what kind of recess week is this? have to submit project in the middle of it.
actually there are alot of thing i wanted to type leh... but just super tired for some reason. stupid lor... was looking forward to training today at school.. den will clear some work and come back tuesday and stuff... now am stuck with this shit.
FUCK.
