Sprint triathlon!!

It was hot, rough, crowded, painful, nerve racking...

BUT I STILL DELIEVERED THE PWNAGE!!

ha ha ha!

It was really a magnificient sunday =) Praise the Lord for giving me strength to endure and enjoy myself throughout the pain i was going through.

In the end, 6th in my under 20 catergory, and 178 out of 700 plus for overall race.

WOOHOO!!!

Next time i ll beat Xingay though..... buggers.

I guess the best moments of the race was...when i went lil crazy haha.

Ok starting off, Xingay the humji beng didnt want to follow me by squeezing into the middle of the swim pack, where jostling was the fiercest and u could get your nose broken with one good kick.

BUT STILL! I positioned myself smack in the middle, nearest to the line.

When the countdown was going on, my heart was beating so fast, because some people decided to start clapping towards, 5,4,3...2....1!

BOOM! Freestyle with my head above water, i dont even know what i was thinking lol, i was literally swimming over some GUY at one point. Ok put it simply, i Muscled my way till a lane opened in front of me. Hahaha some ang mo dude tried to grab my ankle and pull me, i just turned around and pointed my finger in his face "HEY!!!!" After that i felt invincible...haha. Thanks to my parents i guess, not the rough part, that my dad always brought me out to sea to swim when i was young, Pulua Hantu etc, hence the sea was like a long lost home to me.

That was one, the other was when i was cycling, past the 5km mark, and cycling back to make another 5 km, saw Xin the Gay. I just shouted out to him 'XIN GAY!!!' I WAS LEADING COME ON! Too bad that was temp, till 10 km only, shit.

Oh at one point when we were cycling neck to neck, i hoarsed out to him, WHO ARE U CYCLING FOR?! WHO ARE U CYCLING FOR??! He just got onto his aero bars and increased his speed. I guessed he was thinking, wtf jerome's gone crazy...

Next up! August! Triathlon!!

Few things i need to do now.

1) Mug SATS
2) Buy Aero bars
3) Adjust my seat height properly, and train to get accustomed to it
4) Essential race belt
5) Cycle and run MORE!
6) Take my 2.4km again and break 9 mins


Yeap, to God be the Glory! Thats who i ran for on Sunday.
Sadly, on sad thing abt a tri race is the training aspect, u lose out on social life when u train or rest, well, u have to sacrifice something in order to gain something.

The calm before the storm*

19 of April 2009

My first sprint tri, building up to the main event July triathelon.

750m Swim
15 km Bike
5 km Run

As fast as you can.

I cant promise that i ll be faster than the professionals, the skinny compact triathletes that have being doing this sport longer than me.

But collecting my Tags and numbers this afternoon, i felt really excited and pumped up, YES THE RAWR KIND! Ahem, excuse me...Alors, for tmr, i promised a few things to myself.

1) Everything i got, till my lungs burst or i faint, as fast as i humanly can for God

2) Destroy Xingay in the race itself, all the trash talking has finally come down to this

3) Enjoy =)

I guess being overcompetitive as an advantage after all, you dont care what, u dont think, u just whack.

No regrets.

Ahem.. ARGGHHH!!!!!! Ahem..

Angsty dog, blind eagle and monkey face*

So........Alors....

D'accord......alright.......

Its a beautiful gd friday and im somewhere, the least place u would possibly imagine, blogging cause im so damn bored..

Ah well, life has been kinda surreal for the past week. Gd things to note though, my homie xin the gay has returned from TAI TAI WAN!! Too bad he didnt manage to hit any of the taiwan clubs though, bugger..i was hoping he would bring some pics back and i could check out some of the locals there hahaha..

Oh man, yeah thanks to a certain french/ballet Miss...i just came to the conclusion that i can be pretty damn cliche? Meaning that i kinda just spew out all these funny "the enemy of ur enemy is your friend" or "what goes around comes around" or "life's too short to not experience anything"..Weird, i think its cause of hanging out with bong, or rather when i used to hang out with him pretty frequently in the past..

ah well...

Thursday was really ansgty for me cause i was pissed off with the guys for some movie ticket. Well, saying that, i nearly fought with Ian outside bloody cineleisure for the wrong reasons, and yeah im sorry for shoving Chris to one side too when he tried to restrain me..Talking to Han, yeah i mean, if ur going to fight, at least not over a movie ticket and not with ur close buds..Its just this year i admit that i ve become pretty short tempered and very intolerant over certain issues. Sighh...

Cause of that, i cycled to mount faber from 1 to 2 plus at night with xingay, man it was good to see him again, but freakin drama outside cine, we were literally making a scene..Woke up at nine to go for my hardcore physio. Oh anyone who goes for physio? Im not boasting or anything, but your physio is nothing compared to my physio.

Just fri i was lucky, she made me run 5 km instead of the usual ten km, then lunges sprints and jumps, and her repititions are all in reps of either 50 or hundred, shes hardcore man..After the night cycle and xiong PHYSIO, i just collapsed on my bed and knocked out for 3 hrs, woohoo..

Visited Han that cripple son of a gun, haha he was doing fine with his bandaged leg, talked about random stuff, and yeah it was good PLAYING ROCK BAND AGAIN! RAWR!! haha i do admit i get a lil crazy at times haha..

Visited Cindy's house and caught up with her too..It was good lar, no alcohol for once haha, and i realized like how much we all have changed since last year. Seeing more and more juniors in the clubs, not that i go back often though, it just like she said, reminded us how old we are getting.......sadly.

Think its time to click one of those instant matchmaking popups etc and get ready for marriage....













NOT!!!!!

Anyways, after thursday's near fight i came up with animal analogies for us, i mean so far lar i ll think of more as time goes on.

Moi - Angsty dog, cause i have been short tempered lately and yeah, hot headed at times too, DONT LOSE UR HEAD! As i have been drilled before, yup. Plus dogs go crazy with rabids, and similar to myself with all em' natural testostorones.

Xingay- Blind eagle, he may have the leadership skills of a one chocolate bar, but hes freakin indecisive hence, he can fly high, however hes still blind

Ian- Monkey face Ong, being a Jew monkey, he never shares his bananas with anyone hence he gets constipation. As a result, he never inconveniences himself to do something that he doesn't want to do, cause all he wants to do is to take a dump..

ROFL u might go, but i kid you not, these are pretty accurate analogies..

Im really looking forward to political zouking with xiang and samuel on Sat haha it ll be another chance for the two perverts to do some boys gone naughty in dark places with loads of alcohol..............AGAIN I MIGHT ADD haha..

I cant wait for my sprint triathelon next Sunday, its going to be so awesome i can feel it!! Wearing my hulk costume (cause its green) and taking my lung expanding pill, and kickin's some officer xingay's ass on that day itself! RAWR! Whats a mere 750m swim 15km bike and 5 km run to the mentally strong????

After this is July's triathelon and then more triathelons, following which, IRONMAN!! Your body's limits are only what u imagine them to be, while im young and still pumping, i say all out! WOOHOO!! Haha, man i better cut out all the cycling with sunglasses at night, speeding past red lights, racing buses man vs machince and listening to ipod when i cycle; shit, for my own safety.

Ironically, im looking at my BTT textbook now lol..

Army's really such a drag, its like every week i must have something to look forward to and do. Movies, cycling, etc etc..

Cant wait for June when i go visit my older bro in Seattle, gonna be hopefully, 2 weeks of fun and talking cock with him again. We never seem to grow up hahahhaha take that SHUWEI! C'est angst, Je Comprehendre?! . Ok lar i mean we do, but i guess the kid in us will never die, i know my bro's kinda in the same mode i am, well i mean his uber Korean gf is handling him pretty darn well, so hes gotta be less crazy then i am..haha.

Well im HOPING that he ll bring me around the campus, visiting different aspects of the uni and seeing his apartment, and more importantly RAVEE PARTIES!! haha, jk jk we ll see how things go lar. Rihanna and T.I's live your life song is playing on radio now, how apt =)

To sum it all up, i pray that Han's leg will get better, Uni students to finish their exams with no uncertainty in their hearts, my dad to stay childish as ever and lose weight, my mom to enjoy dancing for God, my friends to find more happiness in their lives, Xingay to be at his very best when he COMPETES with moi and for old friends to take MUCH MORE INITIATIVE in staying in contact with each other..I think i lost one friend already to laziness in maintaining contact
via msn. Oh yeah my bro to stay happy and as crazy as me in seattle.

I hope to sing again after July too =)

For now, Sat!! Back to the place where it all began again at "Za-ow-k"

A bientot! Bisous!

P.S Daph well, i do admit 4.1 is really expensive, but for the parts and components im getting, it is really a steal at this current price. Plus im not upgrading anymore, at least till i start earning a couple k myself, or rather when i start teaching. And im treating my bike as a pet, once u buy it, no way can u go " oh im sick of it and just leave it". Cause if i bought a 2k plus road bike and upgraded it, cfm it would go to 6k plus, but at 4.1 straight from the start, im saving money long term wise, at least only for my parents long term.

For your mountain bike, have u roughly decided what brand and which model u are going to go for? Anyway, Bukit timah is not impossible, im sure within this year or less you ll be able to Pwn it yup! =)

24 hrs + + + +

It really seems now a days that i dont have enough time for anything at all..

Thank the Lord for offs from army..sigh this period is just very tiring for myself..

With the 19th of April race coming up, my current activities, well, one has to sacrifice something in order to gain something. Time management FOOL!.

So far, what saps my time up.

1) Army 8-5
2) Duties, 24 hrs
3) Training, running, cycling, swimming, gymming
4) French
5) Meeting up with friends
6) Physio
7) Studying
8) Clubbing, though it doesnt happen as often this year
9) Aunt's wedding rehearsal ( still an alto problem lacking) sigh...

Sad to say i dont really make time for God at all..

I think i do have time lar, just that i waste it on internet, facebook, nba.com, msn. I guess once again this is a trial for my time management skills..

I wish that time would just pause and i could do all i wanted to do till i got sian of it..

Overtraining's happening quite frequently now. dammit..

No matter, i wont lose..

ARGH!

i should really rest more.........

fuggin eyebags and fuggin intra group politics.
