fever

thought i had it under control, but this afternoon it got out of hand at 38.4. Which is already high, and considering my normal temp is only 35.5. blood pressure taken at the clinic was 127! record high also

very strange, first time i had only fever, no other symptoms. Doc says it's severe dehydration, and gave me a bunch of rehydration salts. Lol i figured it's not cos i don't drink enough water, but rather cos i don't take in enough salt! so much for cutting salt intake yea.

and you can't pick a worse time to see a doc than 12pm-2pm; they're all out for lunch!!

so this morning was testing. Felt i could have done much better, since this fever gave me a dull ache all over. yea, i know i'm better than that. So next time around i will prove it to myself.

leaving for Hungary on wednesday, will be back 4th Jan.

well, singapore withdrew its hosting rights for the 2013 sea games

the last time something similar happend was back in 1973, where we withdrew our bid for the asian games. (1973 is a landmark year in singapore's sport history, with the opening of the national stadium, establishment of singapore sports council, and the sport-for-all policy)

yea, but that doesn't change the plan for 2011

friends, i'll be leaving on 16 Dec for a winter training camp in Hungary. Will be back on 4th Jan.

so what do you do to go faster

"so what do you do to go faster?"

this morning it seemed like i forgot how to go fast

but i didn't

so i went back in the afternoon to prove it... to myself

and my true answer to that question, i think i'm back in rjc13, rowing steamy together with ketupat (: enjoyed my afternoon session today, the water was just right and guess what it's a wednesday, our usual training day (aka the midweek highlight of school). today i really felt i was back; was a nice feeling.

can't wait for friday. but first, a 2k timetrial awaits tmr.

btw, met up with dr nick for a 'consulatation'. was pretty interesting, i know i'm going to savour every moment of the exam tmr.

"just like we have many times before, let's make it a great one and enjoy ourselves"

interesting

was just about to blog on that topic

four wheels good, two wheels better!

been cycling to training (and back) an average of twice a week since september

and it's great (: today i officially declare that to get from the doorsteps of my home to my second home, cycling beats public transport aka bus hands down!

made a wrong move today though, when cycling home at around 8am, it was super congested on the roads. dangerous yea

but the morning commute is nice and cool and breezy

(oh btw my aircon gave way and started making ICE!! and it turns out i could do w/o the aircon at night, so that's my new resolution. oh, since last august when we stopped hiring a maid and started being more concern about the saving the earth, or rather, saving money from the utilities bills, we have managed to reduce our bill by 50%)

yup, and i save $2.80 for a to-and-fro journey, plus burn up 300 calories, and learn to use my legs more! so it's good (:

wheeeee

5 things about cycling in the morning:
1. you'll be amazed at the no. of fellow singaporeans who are up and awake
2. we really own a great deal to all our foreign friends working at the mrt sites and our mega projects.
3. night shift taxi and small lorry drivers are surprisingly patient.
4. but not drivers of big cars!
5. the earlier you cycle, the better. cos there won't be buses! (you'll have to be really early though, i've only managed this feat once, out of necessity)
