Had annual road run again today -- Road Run 2011. Well, as usual I was not really ready for it. By that I mean that didn't really train very much for it so stamina wasn't really there for me to complete the distance in a short timing. Partly due to lack of time due to long school hours and the need for much revision and completion of work, and partly due to laziness (just can't get myself in the mood to go for a jog). As a result, was not really hoping to get any medals or trophies lah, actually can't lah, hahas! Actually hoping to get into at least top 100 and hopefully get a "limited- edition- collar pin". Hahas, but when the race started, I know that it wasn't even possible... lols! Couldn't even see the first person.. I was way, way behind...
All these was despite the fact that JC2 guys were the first to start the run off. This time though, I tried to make Chee Koon move a little further up ahead at the start of the run. Then I didn't run with him, headed off first on my own... still thinking that I could outrun those in front of me.
Lols... fat hope lah! Had to stop few times along the way. Met a couple of friends too. Ppl like Guan Quan, John...
Towards the finishing line, I met Hong Xing too. Then I raced him back to the finishing line. I won! Guess that was coz he didn't realise that I had surpassed him. Checked my stopwatch when I passed the finishing line... whoa!! almost 30 mins for a 4.8km run! Kinda slow eh, lols... there were better timings.
Waited for Chee Koon at the finishing line. He came in about 5 mins after I did. He was running though. Headed for the canteen after that and sat down. Was really out of breath man! Must have been the last spurt of speed at the end of the run with Hong Xing, hahas. But was a good run man.. gave me what I wanted. Always looking forwards to the last few metres to race someone back to the finishing line.
Well so there goes my last road run and any chance of getting a trophy for a road run. Well maybe in NS there are medals given out to guys who run fast, then I may get another chance to get myself a medal... hahas.
After that met up with Jordan and learnt from him that neither him nor Alan made it into the top twenty. Results came out and the top JC2 guy runner for the race completed the race in 15 mins!! Man... half my timing that was. Wonder how he did it.

Updates...
Recently been having quite dry weather. Therefore, when we played softball again last PE lesson, the field was quite dry. So there wasn't any mud which was lucky.. hahas. But not so fun also coz can't slide, too dry, so kana out a few times. Hmm... so the "slipping" does help in the game. Guess playing softball is a really muddy game. But totally FUN!!
Went to the gym again on Tuesday but didn't do as much as the first time as I was feeling quite lethargic. But did at least three sets of everything as before.
Okay, a bit about recently. Been feeling really tired and lethargic during lectures and even tutorials for the past week. Not quite sure why but slept in for almost 11 hours ytd. Hope it helps. Can't afford to keep falling asleep during lectures and tutorials right? Yeah... actually fell asleep during a tutorial, which has never happened before. Was during GP, during the screening of "Commanding Heights". Was really tired then, and the droning voice of the narrator must have sounded like a lullaby... hahas! Then was also dozing off in Maths lecture! Big problem! Coz it was lecture on Vectors 3, which I'm having lots of problems with. Bit behind on tutorials as well. Mainly Maths and Chem. Still having some problems with Vectors. Chem... hais.. its just the whole of Organic Chem. Lots of memory work to do. So set aside this weekend to catch up with Vectors and trying to summarise the whole of Organic Chem thus far into "easy- to -carry - around" notes.. hahas. Hope that helps a little at the very least, or Chem cher will be hounding after me again:(
Okay, fast forward to ytd. Went to get another pair of specs done. With more accurate "degree". Did it at Bras Basah and will be due for collecting by about Tuesday. Then it'll be for full time wear:)
Soon will be Road Run 2011 already. Thus, been making time to do more jogging, hoping to build up some stamina with the little time left. Gonna be the last Road Run in PJC and it'll be held bout two weeks from now. So see... not much time left. Hoping to at least get into the top 100, and get a "limited edition collar pin".. hahas. But may not be able to, due to want of company... lolx
Finally bought another Byron PE T-shirt as well, just on Friday. Been thinking bout getting one for quite some time already. Got a M- sized one this time round. But felt the quality not so good somehow. Maybe just coz it's slightly bigger?
Anyways... Recently went for a medical check up again and weighed myself. Omg!! I'm 51.7kg now! Really came as quite a shock. Been 45 kg for years now and suddenly... 51.7! Then again, probably coz of all the eating during CNY. At least now I'm within acceptable weight otherwise they gif me extra training during NS -.-
Oh yeah... tommorow's Valentine's Day again. Hahas... not for me yet lols, still staying with friendship day:)
Btw, 11th day of CNY already. "ang baos" still rolling in... jy jy! Hahaha...

Ate vegetarian. Received many "ang baos". Then some time in the afternoon go over to my maternal grandparents place. Some relatives there as well. Got many 'ang baos" as well. Had dinner at some Malay stall at Zion Rd. Lols... CNY nothing much else to eat except spicy Malay and Indian food... sianz!! After dinner as usual go over to my aunt's place for some BlackJack. Lost all my coins.. that's quite a lot mind you, but won quite a number of notes so shld have made some winnings. Didn't count.

Gym
Hahas... went to the gym for the first time ytd. Yup...went to my school's gym to work out with some classmates. Well, first time using the gym equipment so didn't actually know what most of them were for. So just took instructions from Jordan. Spent about an hour there working our and trying out most of the equipment, mostly just working out the arms though. After the hour, wah.. arms were really aching liaoz..
Gonna go a few more times to the gym after this, with my classmates as well of course, when they go there again. See if can develop some muscles so as to be able to do some chin ups and perhaps run faster as well. Gonna put in more effort for NAPFA, hope to get a GOLD!!
