recent updates
i confessed i've been lazy of late. haven't been blogging about myself. i'm a procrastinator i know. (pictures soon i hope)
anyway, the month of june ended with countless celebrations for the termination of a month of miserable studying for the exams. there was partying, drinking, meet-ups with friends etc etc. there was a farewell party for Le Tian coz he's embarking on a study trip to melbourne for a year to pursuit his degree. Come to think of it, haven't heard from him since he left. Hope he's doing well.
As for July, it seen me through with less parties/drinks (ie good) but lotsa fun (still), food, work & 2 10km runs. *beams* There was a bbq for one of my university classmate, Jax who left for on campus studying in melbourne too. that was a good feast. ate so much, so much. yummy. should have it again smetime soon lol. i'm craving for the honey mustard airpork pork chop haha!
Not forgetting Jeffry, who came back from states, to visit us before he starts work proper back in Indonesia. During his stay, we ate so so much. so sinful! but the time was well-spent and it was a great opportunity for the secondary school friends to get together. It was nice seeing all the familiar faces once again & catching up with each other. Quality time i would call.
lastly, my accomplishments for the month: 2 10km runs!!! muahahhahahaa!
first was the saucony pa run. it was held on the 8th July at east coast park. it's my first attempt at running such a long distance. thank goodness there was brendon, hupseng & lz (uni mate) to run with me. they were slowed down so much because of me 'sorry' but i'm so glad i completed the run w/o stopping. when i saw the 7km mark, i was so close to slowing down to a walk. thank goodness, the guys were there to encourage me on. it was such a drag as i pull myself through the final kilometres. i was so happy when i cross the finishing line. time taken was 1hr 6mins weeeeeee! after the run, i thought my knees were gone bleahh. took me a good one day rest to recoup and a few more to un-stiffen my knees.
second run was the mizuno wave run with lz. it was held on 22nd july at temasek polytechnic. time taken was 1hr 11mins. i was cursing and swearing at myself on the day itself. not mentioning the busy schedule that i had (class in the morning, tuition in the afternoon, jeffry back in singapore), i woke up to such a lovely rainy morning which was perfect for snuggling in bed. i so much want to whack myself in the head for i've paid and put myself through the misery 'grrr' to make things worse, the run started with a human jam caused by the exit from temasek poly to the route which was a small door and everyone was caught up (this might have took a good whole 5-7mins). the path we ran was wet and muddy thus we went 'splish, splash, splosh' and hopping half the time. more efforts were concentrated on avoiding the water puddles than running itself. this time round, upon completing the run, i felt slightly more alive than the previous run.but the collection of goody bag took a good one hour before it's our turn. end up, i missed my lesson bleahh. went home took a nap, went for tuition and then went for seafood at night with the burung, hildya, mr koh, angela and john.
to wrap up, school has started. i had the suck-iest timetable ever grrr. sat afternoon, sun morning, mon night & tues morning. this leaves me with wed, thurs and fri as my weekends. o well, i'll pull through. bless me people.
loves.
