Long time since I last blogged. This is gonna be a super long post….since I am damn bored now, everyone else is at training camp…boooo….

Finally removed the mole that has been causing abrasion while rowing and even while running. It took 2 injections and 2 stitches on 27th Dec. And I was damn brave, I didn’t cry…I think I’ve sorta overcomed my phobia for needles at that moment. So its 10 days (damn long!) before the stitches can be removed and 2 weeks of no exercise-_-...the doc asked me if i needed mc, but i said no need, now sch hols mah...but my sis said shd haf juz gotten it, maybe it'll be fun to see how it looks like, nv gotten an mc b4 & i wanna keep my record tt way.....

no whole family holiday trips ever since uni started, not expecting any more forever, though I still look back fondly at those wonderful overseas holiday we used to haf…

Maybe its juz age that is catching up….Christmas no longer means much…Christmas this year was much much quieter, my cousins, uncles, aunty, grandma were all not here, no Christmas presents under the pathetic Christmas tree, just a simple lonely quiet family dinner….

Haven't been doing much this holiday, just slacking, eating, training, sleeping and the cycle continues. Perhaps, some of the more interesting things that have happened this holiday are…

1. Completing standchart marathon in slightly less than 6hrs, timing could have been improved, but juz glad to have completed it with no prior training nor preparation. I didn’t exactly plan how to run, I was just running, then see db teammates in front, then motivation to chiong and catch up to run tgt, then pple start gg toilet, then i jog slowly alone, then see another db teammate, then chiong to catch up, then they wan go toilet again, so alone again, so it was run chiong jog run chiong jog run chiong jog, not exactly a good way to maintain stamina for a marathon, haas…but tinking back it was quite fun meeting so many db pple along the way….I started off slowly wif ye en, then met the alumnis, then sheena ask me to run with xx first while she accompany ye en, then after that sheena caught up and we ran tgt…after tt met weishan & sooshuen….then lixian & gekling…then lost sheena,, & ran alone….then met da candice & xuewei….then tay chuan & fel…then winsten…then belinda…then yunci & cuimei….then xiaohong & joleen & sharon…then ah hee…then finally after running alone for quite a few km, finally met liping & lili & teddy…liping & I walked the last few km, while teddy & lili ran off….my first and definitely last marathon, I still wan my knees and my soles which have been quite cui ever since…

2. Cycling with qian yi, tay chuan and tiga doggie on 21st Dec. The longest day cycling trip I have ever had…from 8 in the morning to 8 plus at night, but of course wif breaks in between…..Cycled from my house to meet qian yi near west coast, then cycled to vivocity to meet taychuan…then we cycled to regatta race site, it was kinda weird cycling through the city during an office day, where the atmosphere is kinda serious office working…then we cycled past kallang, to east coast, then went back to lau par sat, labrador park, west coast park, pandan reservoir and finally seeking shelter from the rain at jurong east before heading back home….i wonder how many km we cycled…but it was fun, cycle until shuang, but also cycle until butt ache…haas…

3. Rockclimbing at Yishun Safra on 26th Dec with tay chuan, candice, soo shuen, qianyi, wanxian & nicole…first time tt really rockclimb such a high wall, & it was fun!! Rockclimbing is really tiring, climb a short distance onli, then my hands suan until cannot make it already, super cui… tink rockclimbing more effective than lifting weights, haas…. belaying was quite fun too….wanna rockclimb again soon….but probably will be many many months later, maybe after june race & PA…..

Results were out on 28th Dec, was super worried that I may even get Cs or Ds, for last sem felt like my most screwed up sem, for I nv did such last min exam studying before….for all my papers I just started studying for the exam in that 1 or 2 days before the paper, & it was a damn scary experience….but surprisingly my results were veri much opposite of wad I felt it would be, wad I though had chance of doing well, turn out not to…wad I thought was screwed, turned out ok….except for investments which I really screwed both the exam paper & the coursework also, so undoubtedly investments was my worst subject, investments was really a disappointment, it was my fav subj yet my worst scoring subj, coz I din do the tutorials! Argh!…thankfully, my results were ok, great relief…I really gotta study harder and more consistenly nxt sem, its gonna be yet another challenging sem, and I really wanna go for GIP China in yr 3 sem 1, so jiayous for nxt sem!
