Hello rusty blog…
more updates. In fact I think there is too much to be typed out. N I’m not sure whether my patience will last me to type out every single thing that has change me during these mths. But not wasting anymore time, let’s get things started…
First, my this semester is NOT only filled by my trainings, but endless projects and assignments, tests and the usual academic stuff. However, workload is considerably heavier compared to my previous semester. As my econs modules getting more specific into certain area of studies, like environmental economics, my interest towards my major is beginning to increase too. However, I dont think I can say I’m super confident about my finals. Heavier workload, heavier trainings, I really feel like dying trying to juggle both. Trainings have increased, not only frequency (everyday), but also the intensity.
Leading me to my next major decision, I decided to leave the team, and focus on my studies 100%. In fact, my official “departure” has just taken effect starting from yesterday. It was a sad departure, afterall, I really wished to be able to continue rowing, especially for June race, for PM cup. In addition, they do not really have enough rowers, or backpacks (I’m one). I also feel a bit “wasted” for me because I’ve just make it into the IVP crew during regatta. The opportunity and trust given….it seem a bit ungrateful of me to just quit. However, I’ve decided that 100% on my studies is what I come to NUS for, there is no point in winning medals at the expense of my grades. Hence, I harden my resolve. I’m really sorry for things to turn out like that, but it has been a really really really tiring semester for me. I wouldn’t wish to go through it again. Studies comes first afterall.
Another most happening thing is, I’ve run my first marathon! OK, fine, I run only 32.5 km of it. The overall timing is 6 hrs and a few minutes. Quite bad. But I stll need to complment myself! (: Hahs, since before this marathon, I’ve been mugging before exams, and totally no running for me (for 3 wks) since I do not have sufficient time for revision….Despite not running for 3 weeks, I manage to clock the first 21km within 2h 30 min, and clock 32km in 4 hours. However, lets just call a series of unfortunate events, my leg begins to cramp really bad, and i have to limp my way back for the last 10km. N WHAT AN AGONISING 10km! Hot sun, cramp legs, and the thought that I could not complete my first marathon in 5 h 30 mins (my goal). Ultimate siansations. N after the race, my legs hurts so bad that I dont even bother looking around the booths of the race site and get those freebies, I just grab the finisher tee, medal, 100 plus and off I go to collect my bag. THAT is how shag I am. When I got home, I realise one of my toenail drop off. :/ Lesson learnt: Better train for a marathon if u decided to go for one. But actually in the first place, I didnt expect my mugging to be so intensive that I could not even squeeze out a run.
But ohwells, at least I completed it! So, one life goal (that is complete a marathon b4 I turn 21) down ! HAHS.
As for these days, due to my toe nail dropping off, walking has been a problem, needless to say, running/jogging is out of the question. Been munching tibits while watching shows/facebooking/surfing net for temp jobs (but super hard!). Feeling super unhealthy, despite having just ran a marathon. Ohwells hope I can recover soon. It has been restricting my movement and activities.
Which kinda aid in my emo-ing about leaving the team. Haii, hope by the time next semester starts, I’ll be alright.
Anw, I think elvin ng is really cute. LOL, i KNOW THIS PART IS RANDOM. But I just watched the 9pm show and I think he acted the role of Tarzan quite well. Silly and cute. hahs, hope he can churn out more shows in the future. My mum thinks Dai Yangtian is better, but I prefer Elvin Ng. Hahs, DYT is good, but I just think he is restricted to “period” dramas, like little nyonya and now the Tgt show. Elvin is more versatile…=D
Hope more GOOD dramas can come out, I’m kinda bored staying at home with the constant reminder from my mum to help her clean the house :/
shall end here. nights!
