an eventful weekend
had a ratherr eventful weekend ;]
on sat we helped out in coxing/coaching volunteers from truehearts. it was quite funny coz i found out tt i'm not the only one who cant cox. hahahah. was assigned to vjc's boat, where there was me sharon teddy n vijay.
b4 that there was trg. ntg much to say abt it la, just hope tt we found a 'soln', though wad i suggested may not be entirely full proof but based on feel.
sunday: walau i had to wake up at 415am just to b in time for the AHM flag off at 530am. haha in e end mona said, 'ah late late all late!' coz i was supposed to reach at 515 but only came at 520. though e flagoff was 530, we cld barely run at that time. we strolled to the start line coz there was just so many army guys [unwilling ones] in front of us blocking the way.
then mona n mp asked me n cheez to run on our own, while e 2 of them ran theirs. cheez, hmm..v power. yah but thanx man, for accompanying me thru every step of the way. cut timing by 8min heh. dunnoe y e army guys r forced to participate just to make up the numbers. they r like, so in e way lah. imagine how gross it is to exchange sweat with another stranger, coz u rub against his sweaty shoulders. eeew yucks. den i overheard e army guys saying, 'my CO say, come in within 2hr 8 min..3 days off ah! come in within 2hr 15 min..2 days off!' Rite, so maybe they r chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. hahah for all u noe in e end its just conflakes? well if they are so unwilling den dun force them to sign up coz they seriously just block e way. cheez n i both agreed tt AHM is ratherr shiong coz gotta run, stop..den run, stop again. for countless times coz there were just so many unwilling runners, or shd i say, brisk walkers.
honestly, wad was on my mind for the 1st 10km was, 'why did i sign up..why did i sign up?' by 17km my knees n ankles hurt frm the impact, it wasnt v painful la, but juz uncomfortable. by 19km i told cheez if she wanna go ahead, i'm ok. den in all true db spirit, she said, 'no, its ok. we finish it together.' so i was like..touched. but even more so determined to finish it under 2hr 30min [my previous record] thanx alot cheez :]
so we finished n den my legs were hurting, not hurting but just kinda sore from the prolonged impact. we went to the grass patch at padang field to nua, n it was damn shiok. the thing abt coming back right aft a marathon, is tt u cant seem to control ur bladder v well. maybe its just me, i dunno? right aft i crossed the finishing line, in e midst of taking out the champion chip, my pee just wanted to come out, at that instance! it was pretty embarassaing coz i had to squeeze my legs tgt to stop e pee from coming out. thankfully it cooperated with me. *phew*
had to leave early to go back home to wash up, so didnt get to see mona n mp. went home to bathe, rest awhile n den headed off to sdba. i seriously thought i was dreaming when i received a call frm bc the night b4, asking me if i cld help to cox/teach her company's workers who was coming down to try dragonboating. like seriously..cox? anw it was a v enriching experience, some form of a cross cultural exchange. i guess its a natural tendency to clique with pple ur colour/race/country. the indians formed 1 boat, den the chinese formed another, n the 3rd boat had a mixture of both, e remainder. i enjoyed helping n teaching them[was on e indian boat]..they got 赤子之心, ie raw passion for sport, which makes it v nice. just like ytd's vjc boat. did a lot of gesturing[we all think sharon wld be a great candidate n shd help coach them hahah] coz they werent language proficient.
n so tt marked the end of my eventful weekend..damn shagged, but damn fun.
