First race of the month.
June 06, 2011
Team Hooah.
Roy on left, Jia Jie on the right.
LOL, no idea who came up with this name.
X-Physique 2011.
Unexpected pair of teammates I've got for this year. Normally, I'd join the race with my fellow SPA mates but they were waiting for their enlistment letter at that period of time, so they couldn't make a decision to join or not. This explains why I was teamed with Fel's ex-colleague (a friend of mine too) and 1 of his friends whom I only met the first time during the race day itself. HAHAHA.
Everything was good...
The running sucks big time. I've no idea why but the routes this year were way freaking too far apart. It was like running one big round just to get to the destination and then, we had to run to the next station with the same route we came with. So... It was like running the same route twice for maybe, 3 - 4 times for the entire race?
Game Stations.
I always heave a sigh of relief each time we arrived at the stations - I FINALLY HAVE THE TIME TO REST. I guess I'm only good at stupid games, the station whereby you need to push the glass of water on the table into the small square, throwing the plastic balls into the basket & throw the frisbee & make it land nicely in the allocated box. Guess what? LOL, I did all that with just 1 try, my teammates were like saying "Okie, NJ, you go and throw the frisbee." HAHA, I thought the frisbee lost its direction but somehow, it landed on the box so YEAH, that station was done pretty quick - Shorter time to rest. :(
Katong Park, MBS.
These 2 stupid places made me run like there's no tomorrow. THE DISTANCE FROM PREVIOUS STATION TO THERE WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME FAINT. I could feel that my speed is as good as brisk walking. Sorry to Thom & Yutai but I guess I put in more effort this time, I ran even though I think I could just stop and do the brisk walking. LOL. Too bad, when I walk, you guys would walk with me too, as in togetherness, not that you guys are weak. I'm always the weakest link in all the teams for all the races. No worries. HAHA.
Oh, before the race..
It was pouring really heavily with thunders & lightnings. The race was delayed for about 2hours, we only started when it was already 10am and we reported 3 hours earlier. You can literally take a nap before the start of the race man, we only reached back to the finishing line at about 3pm? Everything was delayed, I don't even know the results of the race and rushed back home already.
It was still a pretty nice experience.
First time ever, I joined a race and ran in the rain for quite some time and my tee was so heavy, totally soaked. I could literally squeeze out the water from my shorts and shirt and the wind was like, resisting me from running forward at ECP. Hmm, I just feel weird without proper bouldering and abseiling sections.
Climbing, abseiling, kayaking, running, cycling...
They made us climb trees instead (with tiles attached on the trees) and then, belayed us down. LOL. Kayaking part was the same as last year, did some lame kayaking to the bridge, U-turn and back to shore but smart enough, this time round only needed 2 to be in the kayak. Last year, 3 in open deck kayak, only 2 need to paddle. This year, 2 in the kayak and 1 just stay onshore. LOLOLOL. Only that, cycling for this year was quite a distance, the most drastic change of activity compared to last year.
Pretty much summed up the whole race.
Still, I hated the route planned for this year, the distance was really horrendous, taking the same route back even though we were heading to the next location. Totally demoralizing, each time they told me "We need to run back the route we took to here" WHOA, the distance is no joke. I could only run that fast and that much. My legs are now aching as if I did a full-marathon yesterday. How to enjoy when I'm in Krabi?!?!?!
Oh well, done with the race.
I rushed back home to bathe and head out to town again. It was like Marsiling to Dhoby, Dhoby back to Marsiling, Marsiling to Orchard, Orchard back to Marsiling. To and fro, to and fro but it was inevitable, need to get things done in one way or another.
Town we go.
We dined at.. Tampopo but none of us ordered ramen. I had.. Special Katsu Don? I FORGOT THE NAME, it was rice with egg over it and fried breaded pork or something. I couldn't finish it, too much water during the race, maybe. I collected my chocolates and seriously, beats other chocolates hands down. I thought it's nut coated with chocolate but the moment I bite it, the chocolate literally melts in my mouth. It tastes fantabulous. I'm truly amazed, some high-class chocolates, definitely worth being fat. Seriously serious. HAHA.
Uniqloooooo,
always runs out of small sizes. Need to get the clothes/pants fast, otherwise they only left with M - L size. We didn't get anything or rather, I've nothing to buy, maybe too tired to think even though it's GSS now. GSSSSSSSS. So tempting to just spam $$ on everything but anyway, when we walked past Forever21, familiar song caught our ears and just now it's the song playing on my laptop now; If you ever come back - The Script.
Starbucks.
LOL, I forgot a lot a lot of stuffs yesterday, Starbucks debt was cleared, I got my free Starbucks (Sorry Shini, it's not you who bought the Starbucks, you still owe me one more :D) & I saw one of the freshies from SPA FO Camp, I've no idea what's her name, but we could recognise each other, ain't that bad since I didn't really mingle with them during the camp, I was the photographer and that, I wasn't allocated to be a GL but still, I knew a few of them though.
HOME SWEET HOME.
It was a splendid night, forgetting about something related to my grad and I received it when I was almost home, surprisingly. Told you, I forgot a lot of things lately but I got them all in a night. Wonderful. I'm happy that you're happy, even happier that you sounded really excited/happy, really happy with the notebook. Not to forget, the chocolates are awesome. FAT DIE ME CAN JUST WAIT FOR NOW.
Oh, yes.
Sucks but I'm coughing like mad and whole body is aching. Every inch of my muscles. I hope I will end up with a really toned body after the race and trainings I attended last week. HAHAHA.
Alright, till then!
Xoxo,
