everything in
it's right place

i've been sleeping so much recently that it's becoming unproductive. sleep to rest, sleep to pass the time, sleep to drown the sorrows, sleep because i'm lazy, sleep for the sake of sleeping!

this time i'm sleeping to pass the time. these days it's been raining cats and dogs, so i wasn't able to go for a run. it's amazing how incredibly lazy i've been, especially now since there's no triathlon and no risk of embaressment and no heartache of wasting $75 for nothing. and the sianness of camp coupled with it's ever enticing swimming pool (it's cleaner than running?) renders whatever thoughts of going running absolutely useless too.

so, since i'm home today, i'll go running. to the beat of jay chou's yi lu xiang bei. if you run in time with the time signature (foot down on the main beats) it gives a good pacing. haha previously i tried lifehouse's undone too, which was fine, but some songs just make you die faster. ok, this is redundant.

chris, you'll go to jelita, down sixth avenue, past chinese high and hcjc to SPC and back home. run to serene center if you've been slacking during the run, do not pass go, do not collect $200

been swimming a bit recently. trying to follow terry laughlin's total immersion book which my brother passed me. press your bouy, reach for the wall, swim on your sides, unweigh your arms, don't forget the arm catch, rotate rotate rotate. using the pool's lifeguard at my camp to be my 'spotter' of sorts. he was in the same platoon as me during bmt!

checked out their forums as well (www.totalimmersion.net) and a couple of other websites. count your strokes and not your laps, or so they say. so i've started at 25m laps (because 50m makes me lose count, definitely). managed to lower it down to 10-11 strokes at best for 25m. is that good? i've been reaching my leading arm so much i think it's gonna fall off.



when people are in the midst of their youth, they think that love is like the holy grail. but it's enlightening when you realise that people five, ten years later are still feeling the exact same thing. maybe comforting? let's drown together. no, not really that. sometimes people think that getting their partner to say 'yes' is the final goal, but then you'd realise that after that comes a whole lot of shit as well. and they'd realise that maybe going that mile wasn't really worth the effort, and you're left off where you were before. no, even worst and in deeper shit, actually.

all these tales and thoughts of love. well suddenly everyone's talking about their so called love life, or lack of it (or the lack of a real one when you're living the so-called fake life).
