Tomorrow is only a day away

Actually only about 2hrs++? Anyway, today, school was really awesome. So fun. So much laughing. XRFOS and her eye candy. Captain's ball. Econs lecture. Oh and from today onwards, I promise never to pon econs lecture ever again. I love my freaky weird nonsensical crappy lame class.
Finally, i actually like coming to school even if its nj. hahaha. On the other hand, some teachers in Nj really suck. Shan't elaborate though. haha. Time trial tomorrow. I hope.

Life is full of valuable experiences...

Yes, I will work hard.

To be the best that I can be. Someday...

Till then,

EFFORT MAX

It was a really nice experience. I really enjoyed myself and I'm really grateful for it. No words to describe it. More pictures to be uploaded

Thank you Qinrui...

The distance covered

First thing first, let’s us all give a minute of silence for this poor little bird who was found K.O-ed in NJ today…………………………………………………………………………..

Ok done. So I shall continue. Today we had our road run and I’d like to congratulate all who have managed to surpass themselves today. Personally, with this run, I realize how weak my fitness is and how weak I am at pushing myself. After the first 2 rounds, I was still 2^nd. At the last round, I couldn’t bring out the extra bit to hold the position. I let others overtake me so easily. Most people would be really happy to get 4^th but I think that’s bull. Getting 4^th is as good as nothing. I should have been better. I should have been faster. Again now I regret not giving it my best. I tried but I guess I didn’t try hard enough. Lost another race.

Chiong ar!

Tomorrow is the day when almost all the NJCians will be running on the road. Why? That’s because its NJ’s annual road run tomorrow. HAHA. Anyway, did some light training today to rest up for tomorrow. It’s going to be our gauge for fitness. Damn my running sucks. I’m probably going to get owned by people from J1 and IP3. Zzz. Nevermind. Tomorrow just chiong from the start and see what happens. Haha. Ok. Good luck Aiman. All the best for tomorrow.

Happy valentine day

To those people who gave me stuff today, THANK YOU. Thanks Amanda for the really nice cookies. Thanks to the many many many people who gave me sweets and chocolates. Thanks Seraphina, Jasmine and Liyin for the flowers. Thanks Ruiting for the really really really nice gift. Thanks Gerald for the chocolate. Thanks Delle for the pencil and gummy. And to those who received gifts from me, I really hope you like it. Haha.

Is something wrong?

Recently I’ve been feeling really weird. My body shivers even when it’s not cold. Muscles at my back vibrate randomly. It’s a bit annoying. I can’t focus.

Learning to fall

I'm learning to fall
I can't hardly breathe
When I'm going down don't worry about me
Don't try this at home
You said you don't see
I don't want to know that you know, it should have been me

Lyrics from Boys like Girls, Learning to fall

Train with the mind and body

No matter how I look at it, I can’t deny the fact that canoeing is not a team event. A K1 event would definitely be an individual event, a K2 would be a 2-men team and a K4 a 4-men team. We have to look out for our own events as no one else will. Pops keeps on reminding me that I should always focus on my own event as no one will be able to help me when I’m out there at the start line. I cannot wait for people to tell me to train then I train. Similarly, I hate asking for permission to train. But since now I’m training under the college, I have no choice but to comply with the wishes of the team manager which is MRY. Today, Pops enlightened me on how much more I can improve. The fact that I’m performing below average proves that I’m far from reaching my fullest potential. Statistics from past years showed that what I’m doing now is insufficient. It’s not how many training you go for but rather how much you give during that training. Self-monitoring is very important. It’s is important to know how much you’re giving at during that training. Things such as your heart rate, breathing and also your form will determine the intensity of the training. Training programs are effective in helping us train in the right direction but how much we gain during the whole session depends on how much we push ourselves. There has to be a reason as to why we have been stagnant these past years. We have to find new ways to bring ourselves to the international level.

Know your limits.

Rest to whack another day...

My apology

I would like to apologise to my teammates for saying something insensitive. I was just disappointed with you all when they talk about lack of commitment. As DSAs, we came in at the expense of others, which mean that we owe the school. Commitment should therefore not be questioned. I want to help as much as I can, be it the seniors or the juniors. I will not talk about the event anymore. I’ll just leave it as that. As for now, I’ll just focus on what is coming up. As a team, we are still not working as one. Most of us are just training for ourselves. I bet not many know of the team’s situation and each other well. We may seem close but we don’t really see ourselves as one. Some of you all may be thinking of just going with the motion everyday with no intentions on improving yourselves. We are not fighting a losing battle. We have what it takes to give others a challenge. Have more self-confidence and try to be more cooperative. And captains, let us aid you. We need to be involved. It’s our team too. Don’t bear the weight of the team by yourself. We can help, if you let us.

Sorry boss.

The speed that matters

Okay, fine. I admit I’m slow now. I’m doing the best I can to improve myself. Will I be ready by nationals? Who knows? All I know is, from now till then I’ll do whatever I can to bring myself up to the next level. I want to be there, at a level where people will want to surpass me just by racing with me. A lot of people are faster than me. Older or younger, it doesn’t really matter. I hope that people will go all out when they race against me so that I can see where I stand. It’s not going to be easy overtaking them especially since I’m not in the national squad. I just hope that when the time comes, I’m all set to give my very best. The results matters to me but the feeling of going against the best is simply priceless. Someday, I will go to a higher level.

Great miracles comes from great opportunity

To go on

Nobody do can do things alone,

Everyone needs support in one way or another

We need someone to push us,

To give us a meaning to what we are doing

We need a reason to fight

A reason to sacrifice

...

Training kills

Apart from today being my 20th consecutive training, i also did a 12 k time trial with a lousy timing of 59 minutes and 14 seconds yesterday and a 20k mileage training today. On Friday, I did 12 sets of 600m with resistance. On the days before that, i forgot what i did. Training is fun and all but too much high intensity training can really weaken the body. Today's 20k was just a torturing session for my body. After the first 12k I was still going well, following that was auto-pilot by my body. The only thing I could do was to check on my technique. It sucks being weak. I need to get stronger. Ha-ha. Edmund did something really really really really really really out of this world. But he’s Edmund after all so I guess its ok. Don’t worry boy, your secret is safe with me.
