it's not always about the timing
legs n paddles 2005 *satisfied*
ok though e response was really poor this yr. lacking in numbers[both the no. of pple turning up for e event itself and e no. of pple who signed up in our team] but we still did have our fair share of fun. i thought i was on time when i reached chinese garden at 1115am n saw no1 there, only to realise tt angeline n yirang went to e toilet, n geoks went to cheers to buy some food. so, though i was on time, i was e latest.
e jurong pple started wif e usual crapping while walking to the reporting area n we even told them to 'breathe in e jurong air n maybe u'd get some of our crappiness' We didnt wait tt long for our event to start. There were 9 participating teams for the Women's Open event and to cut the long story short, we came in 5th n 6th position.
yirang n angeline were e 1st runners, so geoks n i waited for them to come back. they launched off on their kayaks first, n then yirang came in ltr n we launched off. paddled e 2.5km route n there was this part where e tide was so low tt we were practically rowing yucky mass of seabed. kayak moved quite slowly but other den tt the rest of the route was ok.
den it was our turn to run. Quickly put on our shoes and yah, run. Rules state tt there cannot be use of external pacers but heck it lah. We ran tgt. all i can say is..it's not always about the timing. yah, n furthermore..i'm told by cheez not to over-exert. yah lor. and so tiz 3.2km run marks the end of my running days..at least for 1 week. the pain shall n will go away, tiz i'm quite sure. Or maybe, i hope. *cross fingers*
yirang n i talked bout whose got nice legs(n loads more stuff which cannot b said here coz its too..hmm..interesting hah) in e team while angeline n geoks bathed in e cubicles. den e 2 of us went jurong pt to have lunch n i acc. her to do a lil shopping/browsing. eh there's this really nice baby G watch lah! yah metallic strap n its digital. Looks so gd. And guess wad? Xiao ge fei yu qing was in Jurong Point!! Now where's my ixus 400 when i really needed it? Damn..missed my chance to snap a few shots of him. Yah i noe he's e auntie kinda idol but it sure is exciting seeing him upclose. Oh yes, needless to say there was this big human jam at jp and we had a hard time going to the other watch shop to look at watches.
as u can see, today i'm a lil incoherent. i dunnoe y but yah..juz a bit incoherent. yirang u stop luffing lah. i cant seem to process my thoughts n say it out fluently today. seems like bloggin also like tt. maybe next post will b more..fluent.
