EVG Road Run @ Bishan Park this morning. First off, I would like to congratulate Mrs Lee of 3 Achieve for achieving 7th in the teachers' round. Impressive.
The takeoff of the teachers!
Ugh. Hell knows no wrath like a woman scorned. Got smacked by Joan early in the morning with the class name placard. And that was at least 5 times. For goodness sake, FIVE.
Well, as for me, I promised my parents and myself not to push myself over the limits today as I'd just recovered from illness. Therefore, I deigned to walk the course together with my friends. And I did that successfully, for the first quarter of the run, that is. Wei Sheng then urged me to run along with him. I told him to lead me along, since I wasn't sure whether my stamina was up to mark for running yet or not. Turns out I had to abandon him halfway through the track, to erm... pursue a faster speed. Haha. Found out that I was just being paranoid, I was perfectly fine for running! However, by that time, I was already quite back in the rankings, so I might as well have some fun while I was at it. After leaving Wei Sheng, went to disturb Hui Xian and tried to make sure she wouldn't walk, but left her behind after realising that it seemed impossible (~_^). Met up with Belvina, who was my running buddy for the rest of the run. Like I said, I wanted to have fun! So when I spotted Daniel and Shakir running together, so I shouted over to them. Somehow, they treated my greeting call as a demand of challenge, they screamed back and speeded up. Devastated, I shouted again, "Hey guys! Don't run away from me! I'm bored and I wanna just chat!". And therefore I chased them for at least 400m screaming at them like an asylum escapee before dropping back to make sure I don't neglect my running buddy. Haha, crazy sounding, I know. As for the rest of that morning, it was just about half-jog, half-sprint, to the finish line. But of course, I was chided by my 'walking buddies' for failing to fulfil our agreement. But c'mon, you can't expect me to walk when I was so bursting with energy at that time, right? I couldn't even get myself to feel tired at the end of the whole run, so as to stop looking like a squirrel who lost his nuts. 0.o At least I fulfilled 1/4 of it...
Walked to AMK Hub after the whole event, enjoyed lunch and window shopping with some of my friends. Lunch was an enjoyable thing to experience, haha. "Ah Rong ar, your Japanese curry rice looks like dog food! Be a good dog now, finish it up." Wanted to buy some adorable-looking clothes for my 'sweetie' too, but somehow the size didn't quite fit. It's ok, Swee Hong will understand.
Came home, rested a while. Took one of my killer showers, 40 minutes. It's one of my personal achievements, thank you very much. Roared and snarled my way through NFS ProStreet, I would be more likely to consider it reckless driving then refined racing. Haha, just feel like releasing it all in-game. Opponents were mercilessly nudged out of their race line... Afterwards, I vacuumed the floor. YES, I DO housework. Please don't be surprised, when you have both your parents working, you'll realise that knowing basic household skills will have become a neccesity by then.
Left the house in the evening for a game of badminton with my brother and his friends. Yes, yes, I was the oldest guy there... Whatever. It's been such a long time since I played badminton, I totally sucked at it...for the first 15 minutes. One of the boys actually dropped his racket when I went in for the deciding smash. Am I really that scary while playing badminton? At least that's what some of my peers tell me.
Sigh, I'm really feeling tired. All these fatigue, piled up pressure, I refused to loosen my grip during the school term. Now that it's the holidays, I really feel like letting everything go. Just as there isn't any point in holding onto forgotten letters when it's really better for everyone to just burn them all up.
Ah yes, I'm suddenly reminded, I went to Nanyang Polytechnic this Wednesday for an Entrepreneurship Workshop. They're a business management institution. The graduates were even having their ceremony during the time we were there. In addition, the whole place is practically a simulated business environment. There was a Customers' Call Centre, and shops run by the students.
I've got nothing to do, and so I was just going through some old movies and easily laughed my head off at a scene in 'Bruce Almighty'. Bruce was trying to get back at a fellow colleague for snatching his news anchor position with his new-found powers. Saw it on video sharing site too. Hilarity is the love. ^^
It's good to fill our life with laughter, everyone wants that, who wouldn't? But we must also come to an understanding that it is not always that we get to have our cake and eat it too. Just keep the smile up always, though.
"I'm feeling so very, very tired. So very, very, tired..."
