whee. totally burnt out this past 3 days. pe, pe, sports heats. omg >.> i'm aching in places that i didn't previously know could ache. damn it

sports heats was meh. 8 x 50m was over too fast to notice much. in fact, us 6th runners were all chatting away and didnt know it has started till the race reached the 4th runners. imagine the panic. lols~
by some stroke of fortune (or misfortune) we ended up taking part in the 4 x 400m relay as well. seems fun, but really nerve wracking once it was time to go. i believe i have improved on my previous best 400m timing, mostly thanks to felicia's spikes (thanks again :D). run and run until no breath still run -.- burnt one person and let him overtake at the last 25m. i cant sustain max speed for too long =x. in any case, i have confidence in my own max speed. meh

and about the DJMax problem that i have, its temporarily solved :D major thanks to jessie for trusting me enough to lend me her laptop, even though we only recently became close friends >.> thanks so much T_T

first time in history, i cam-whored. lol. but its only one small pic =X

awesome game =X if only the main menu's graphics are as good as the rest of the game's.

man im burnt. time to hit the bed.

peace~

so, freaking, tired! but it was all worth it :D

i'll give the whole rundown on the events leading to and the event itself.

package collection in school. mr hamim gave us the paper bag containing all that we need and some goodies, which include.... this little carton of milo. aint it cute?

for those of you who never saw my mini phone before, this ain't a good comparison on how small it is, so heres a better comparison picture.

normal sized carton vs the carton we got. LOL so cute...

oh well, nothing much to say about the precedings.
lets fast forward to today.

woke up at 5:15 to get ready... messed around the kitchen for a self made breakfast (which smelled like crap, although taste is ok). rushed out of house for fear of being late, then 5mins down the road, i realised i forgot my shoes. like wtf? the most important thing -.-
went back home to get it, took a cab to HG station, took train to harbour front. met warren and siyi at vivo. joked around until the stupid skytrain started running. they open the skytrain service only at 7, so why the hell did the event organiser want us to register BY 7:30? nonsense -.-
then it started raining HEAVILY halfway to sentosa on the train. what luck. lol. at least it cleared up by 8:30, making the event postpone for 1hour.
insane queue for the bikes, met many innovians while queuing, talked alot of crap.

here's team tri innova individual category people~ (some of us anyway)

left to right, me n warren, qimin, pei qi and felicia.

the whole thing started at around 9:40. the water was freeeeezing, and i immediately felt how out of touch with swimming i was. regardless, i pushed on, losing track of the 3 girls. (warren was in the 1st batch, we were in 2nd batch. they had to release us 30 people at a time to prevent people killing each other accidentally in the water)
felicia ran on with her bike without us, so i didnt wait for the other 2 girls. biking was my forte, but i didnt put in much effort, knowing that my worst category, the run, was right after the biking. did interval sprinting, burning people occasionally (ironically, i drenched them instead of burn. floor was still wet and slick).
then came the run =.= i walked for abit, resting my legs, then qi min and pei qi catched up. i ran with them for about 600m, but i can't take it ._. pei qi shot forward, then qi min maintained her own pace, leaving me slowly walking around >.> walked alot, having the delusion that there was still 1 of them behind me. when pei qi burned past me on her last lap, then i woke up. ._. started running normally after that, and finished @.@

300m swim
10km bike
3km run
overall time 1:10-1:15, not sure, as there was no timing, and the start time was unknown to us.

alot of people cheated >.> the bike stint was 3 laps of 3.3km, from tanjong beach to beach station and back counting as one lap. many people did just two or even only ONE lap, then went in and went for their run. same thing for the running. 3 laps of 1km each, so some people only did 2 laps or less. well, normally i would care, but since this is non competitive, bleah. who cares if they have no integrity. lol.

just for a comparison again, this is the milo they gave us for completing the run. maybe its for making up for the small carton they gave us? XD


burned out but happy
peace~
