Blame all those midnight trainings at Thailand. My sleeping cycle is now officially screwed. this reminds me of good old school holidays! I have 3 more days of Off and back to camp! But going back to camp now it's probably like going to school when your exams are over. The word we're looking for starts with R and end with g.
Been watching Singapore's talent show-"OMG" on the net. I was initially impressed by some of the performances but seriously, I have this weird curiosity on why do so many people play the piano and sing. Piano may be a versatile accompaniment but it ain't just an accompaniment!! it's a solo instrument. and so far I haven't seen any classical pianist on the show. But besides that, I was impressed until I went you tubing to find Britain's got talent at like such a higher level than our locals. And that was the turning point when I was OMG, omg sucks compared to internationally. But still, sufficiently entertaining.
Been picking up my running schedule. I ran almost 17km today (16.8km) to be exact. I am pretty happy with my progress considering I didn't exercise much while in Thailand. To be frank, I ain't sure of why I'm running but losing those extra tummy fats and getting fitter seems like a good enough reason. Today was the first time I took my trusty little Itouch on the mission and it returned home all glued up and sticky (from sweat, mind you!). Listening to music DOES help, I just realized that. Mental strength is of utmost importance and music does enhance it somewhat. Plans? I plan to alternate short runs and long runs on a daily basis. I'll probably up my game to 20s soon enough. What do I run for? I wonder. Night runs under the moonlight and the haunting deserted canal route, soft winds, my own panting, and music right up my ears. I think this is the perfect way to spend a night. The aftermath-fatigue, soreness and also the feeling that you've leveled up is what makes it all worth it.
I actually downloaded Google Earth to calculate the distance I ran. My fixed one loop is around 4.2km. It covers many things. Schools, Shopping malls, Canals, Mosque (??), Sports complex and many bus stops, up hills and down hills.
I'm starting to get hungrier and hungrier with less and less things to do. but it's strange I don't get more sleepy as the clock ticks. It's still high time for me. I really pretty much prefer to be asleep now.
About 6 more months or less to ORD. I've already got a shirt that prints ORD from a shop in Thailand. (for 4 bucks, awesome?). Going to course as 'instructors' for close to 2 months, then clear leave during Christmas season (December) and then Magic OFF all the way from there onwards. Three magic letters, 6 more months.
Anyway I'm probably going to Taiwan for holiday this year. Hope my leave clears!
