Surely I should have lost my strength after 5 months + 5 months of almost no pullups and weights.

But no. After a frustrating attempt to run some intervals (was easier than an easy run for my heart, but shoulders were dying), did 3 pullups and stopped cos shoulder pain. But it felt so easy, like it barely took me any effort. It was as tiring as say lifting a cup of water to drink. That easy. And not forgetting the 60kg real weight bench pull with no sweat. And yes, the 75kg real weight bench pull record that was set when my shoulder was spoilt already.

So there, the more I think about it, I should have lost my strength, but I didn't. So I am convinced there must be some grand scheme of things out there.

Keep believing.

I have this fantastic, crazy dream. So come on world, join me in this great conspiracy (:

Well, things have changed a bit.

"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal.The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,but it is a calamity not to dream.It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal,but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture.It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars,but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for."- Dr. Benjamin Mays

On another note, 4 more years? And no, this is not about hope and change.

What if you believe?

Happy 23rd (:

Started the day off with a nice paddling session. Halfway through boat didn't feel like it was moving though. But today was awesome for the pseudo 2km I did. 3 k4s, 1k2, 1k1, 1c2 and me, mass start. Shan't say too much about the start since the other boats haven't learnt to start properly, but the adrenaline rush was pretty nice.

Loved the after-glowing/burning sensation. Slowly but surely, it is coming back (:

Thanks to the rj kids for the celebration (: Let's make this happen

Hello blog, time for another post.

Today did a rather painful ~1.5h worth of cycling on the Velotron, all in the name of science. Thanks loads to Aldrich for helping me out. Finally settling in, haha, after 5 months. Fingers crossed I'll continue at my internship for a couple more months.

Been  paddling early these few weeks, and MacR is really beautiful in the morning. and evening. and afternoon... ok, not quite afternoon but yes, being on water is really nice. I guess losing it once makes me treasure it even more. So in spite of common sense, I will continue to be as optimistic as I can. Still have it in me so let's make this work, world.

On another note, it's strange how we make friends/acquaintance. But whichever the case, it's nice knowing that there are people out there I would trust my life with.

(:
