had my first session of stairs training...
made my way to the 30 storey high boon tiong road hdb flats...did 3 sets averaging 4min per set...
i can just imagine how the 72 storeys next sunday will be like...
reached home and did another 2 sets of 14 storeys...
my legs are gonna ache tmr....
wasnt exactly very well prepared for this one...the extra 5km and the sand portion and the sun...
was trying my best to maintain my 4.3min per km all along the road+trail portion...but once into the sand portion everything went kaput...
the sun was glaring right at me but thankfully this year's sand was not as bad as the one at sentosa last year...there was this "path" higher up the beach which we took which was less punishing and since there was still some sand there so technically we werent exactly cheating...hehe....anyways the road marshalls also didnt say anything...
once out of the sand, it was onto the "runway" portion which was also the last stretch before the finish line...
kaoz...road was hot...sun was hot...the last 1-2km seemed to take forever to complete...clocked in at 1hr 16min thereabouts...
next up...my first attempt at the swisshotel vertical marathon...gonna have to start climb stair trng liao
some of the stuff they did with ostrich egg shells at the gift shop
we got up close with ostriches and a host of other birds...pictures of which i think i'll post another time...
after the ostrich farm, it was a mad rush to some small kopi-tiam where we were supposed to relac and laaa-kopi...due to time contraint, we couldnt laaa very long and had to make it back to the customs before it closes at 4pm
leaving pengerang island...
my very first "trip" since i've started working! together with some colleagues from tos, we spent last saturday at pengerang, johor
too short to be a vacation but at least it was a good break from the weekly mundaneness...apart from the butt pain from all the cycling, i thoroughly enjoyed myself
our day began at changi village where we met for breakfast. afterwhich we made our way to changi jetty
you needed at least 12 passengers to book a bumboat which will then ferry us over to pengerang
all on board our bumboat
leaving singapore island...
captain of the bumboat
view of our beloved pulau tekong...
after crossing the m'sian customs, we had to hire cabs to get us to the bike rental place
all i can say is it isnt like those you normally see at east coast park...hehe
my ride for the day
stuff you get to see while cycling there
and after a tiring morning ride, we had a feast at this zhichar restaurant...
after lunch we visited this ostrich farm
where they did stuff with ostrich eggs...
and had many many ostriches...
finally got me grubby mitts on this beauty...
and the eye twitching continues...basket...
Eyelid Twitch.
The cause of minor eyelid twitching is unknown. A slight spasm of the lower eyelid or even both eyelids is common and of no concern.
been having eyelid twitch for the past dunno how many days...according to the definition above it's of no concern, but it sure is irritating the shit out of me...
scientifically it would only mean i'm probably stressed out and not having enough rest
based on chinese superstition, twitching on the right eyelid means sthg good is going to happen and the opposite for the left...
and it just so happens my LEFT eyelids are the ones doing all the twitching...isnt that great
last week wasnt a particularly good wk i guess...rough week at the office...to top it off i lost my thumbdrive for some reason...
saving grace for last week? i managed to find a new friend! and it's a she! hehe...not everyday adrian gets to befriend chabors you know...hehe
