It's good friday. And im glad dat i've got a break from school heh.

Done with anatomy presentation and the 4th lesson of IM. So now it's the planning of the final lesson. It hasnt been too smooth a journey for myself this sem, hopefully it'll end well.

Training's as usual with things happening in the team. Volume of trg has increased as well. I've been feeling hungry often.

My boy's @ reservist thou. But back for the weekends.

Been hearing my shoulder joints "cracking" haa. Bad...I tink it's time to get more glucosamine. And yeah my 35% birthday discount with GNC is coming into the picture! heh

Been learning exercise physio and biomechanics these weeks, as part of my school's modules. =)Im glad im learning sthg datz close to me and looking forward to applying these principles learnt.

Oh ..haa and I finally went to get a haircut! ( The last time i cut my hair was Dec) and coloured my hair darker..much darker. The colour was getting too off ..and Im still in the midst of IM. So a darker colour is more appropriate. Some of my class mates and team mates were a lil surprised. But haa I cant get used to it myself too. But i'll think that the colour will wear off soon, after washing and being under the sun. Den the colour should run off to quite a nice tone =)

Weeks of hard training has taken effect on my body...I've been aching for quite some time. And finally today, I realised itz a lil too much for me to bear liao. Thank goodness for my team mates' recommendations, my boy and I managed to get q a good one hour of chinese massage.

I was recommended to go to Zheng Tang Chinese Therapy Center @ Bishan Central. The masseuse who helped me was Xiaohui. She was q pro and started the massage from my shoulders. And ooo..i cld feel I cld feel the tinge from my nerves. I was having q a terrible ache on my left shoulder, the traps area. Xiaohui also told me that my right back was "higher" than my left. =(

She advised me not to tense my shoulders too much and learn to use strength from other parts of my body. I tink it might be the weights which we have been doing. Sometimes I would go "off-form" and end up tensing my shoulder while trying to lift the weights.

She oso said dat my qi-blood channels are obstructed. So I started telling her dat I've problems sleeping at night these days, so she replied dat of cos, with my body condition, it's not easy to sleep well. *bleah*

My boy "enjoyed" his massage. haa.. It helped him to relieve his muscles. But he didnt ask for the masseuse's name. His condition was not as bad as mine. He was only hurting at some spots but I was hurting @ ALL spots!

The session cost $36 for an hour. I guessed it was q worth the money. And the masseuse also advised me to revisit next week which now im thinking of when to schedule the session.

Training frequency is going to increase in the coming 2 weeks. It is a change , in response to our results during the recent MR500, and in response to the change in regulations wrt water activities @ Marina Reservoir.

I believe it's gonna be a long road for us. It's a lil of playing catch up I feel. But at the end of the day, we need everyone to take this road together.

It's been rainy these days.. and it's cold...

Masters series is being poseponed to the first Sunday of April, followed by time trial on the 2nd Sunday. Jia you!!

I realised my temper hasnt been too good these days.

Maybe it's the injury. Yesterday I was knocked by one of my classmates during a netball game. Immediately, I shouted "Wah lau ehh.." It wasnt deliberate. I know but it felt like he was just barging his way around. It obviously din feel good to be knocked when I was injury-inflicted.

Today was supposed to be coaching day. First day. I was looking forward to it. But so happened dat there was some miscommunication. So now instead of being in Kallang, Im home blogging away. Not sure why my patience is giving way..but maybe just frustrated with some stuffs.

Missed a few strokes after the last buoy. *ouchh* heart pain..and sorry to Debbie. Felt like I let her down.

We sort of agreed to partner again for NCC haa. And this time, we really have to train.

8 mths down the road for us...

I sang the song " You're Still the One" during my practices and my last Saturday's gig. Im alwayz touched by couples who are able to stay true to each other till their hair greys.

Old couples walking together, sometimes squabbling..sometimes smiling.

My Saturday began with me waking up with a lil bit of sore throat which made me realised that it muz haf been the tahu goreng and museli bar I had last night. Heaty stuffs! So first thing when I left house was to head to Hougang Mall to buy a bottle of luo han guo and NTUC to get the preserved "fo shou guo".

After which, I made my way to Stamford Swissotel for our gig. We were performing at the foyer- a pre-event to the actual NIE event. I muz say I did enjoy myself with the rest of the band members despite having made quite a number of mistakes..came in at the wrong time, forgot to come in ..and forgetting the lyrics. grrr...haa. But heng our audience were all busy mingering with their counterparts. haa.

We had to do a super corny entry with the GOH to the ball room. Everyone was holding on to an instrument and following behind him, as we entered the ball room. It was like we're his escorts. ..aiyoo paiseh sia! haa but really fun haa.

Our reward for today's performance was a free buffet =)

Training was at 3pm today. Quite a blessing for me cos I get to tk my time to get to trg, instead of going thru a mad rush. The last water session before our race next week.

Dinner was at Marina SQ. And I bought myself a new Puma pullover! yeah =)
