Change.

This week has been rather eventful. With many changes..

Finally the change of coach has come to us as finalised. Not sure what the future holds. But a change will always bring about a fresh outlook. The team's looking to tune up our strokes. Personally, Im feelin' the drop in motivation. One thing is Im not sure what is in line for us ..until this morning where we were briefed on what has been going on. I know this change will bring about a whole new perspective in terms of method of instruction and trg. But somehow. I understand dad's pain and disappointment. Im not sure how are we gonna juggle both club and Nteam trg.

In terms of career, Im still in a dilemma. My place has been 'booked' but with so many changes taking place right now. I really am not sure how to proceed. Is every thing juz gonna fall into place?

Alright a lil digressions from all the dilemmas and mixed feelings!

My room has new furnishings! yeah!


A new study table and bed frame! When the furniture guys were fixing up the set in my room, I was really wondering whether they can really fit into my room. But thk goodness, with a lil shuffling here and there, they finally fitted in nicely. My next project will be to get a new wardrobe!..scheduled to start in late November.

Last change! My new hair cut!



My boy's reluctant to tk the photo with me. But the focus is me..heh =)

And I began running yesterday. Running has really nv been so tough =( The part on my ankle where the dr suspect to have a bone bruise is really hurting. sigh. ice..and more ice..

Ponders

On Sunday, I was pondering whether to get the set of furniture at "Silver River". It's a bed frame, together with a study table. They look quite compatible but the cost was an issue for me. But since I've been thinking long of getting a new bed frame (ever since my old one gave way on CNY), I juz went ahead to spend the money. My new set of furniture is gonna come on SATURDAY. So in the meantime, I have a big mission! That is to clear my room! It's filled with files, masak-masak, magazines..and list goes on and on. =)

Earlier this afternoon was probably a informal chat which might decide the rest of the 3 yrs and further on. Im still thinking..pros and cons. And Im still thinking. It's like..my heart says "go ahead" but my mind is still trying to figure out wat to do. But even if im really keen, it will still depends on whether there will be vacancies filled up by other candidates. It does sound exciting and fulfiling. *ponders*

The Weekends

The weekends had been a tiring one. Mornings were occupied with training while afternoons were spent down at Bedok Reservoir watching the Sava Sprints. There werent many teams competing but definitely some very strong teams were ard.

For the ladies, I muz say the NUS team is impressive, giving their best shot every set. Having met them for our many races last and dis yr, they have been performing consistently for every race. Their long pulls have been powerful..We'll meet them again this coming weekend.

While the Singapore guys also managed to keep close to the Philippines Camurin Team. My boy was still full of adrenaline after he got home. It was a close fight. And they still have lotsa room for improvement.. so I believe they will do better in the coming races! Jia you !!

My boy's sis also had her wedding reception last night..and I was playing mahjong at her place. grrr..lost money =( but thank gdness, it was a really small bet.

I've been taking so many trips of cabs these days. It juz makes me wonder if I shld consider getting a car. And yest while I was trg, I counted that I've in fact spend about 1/6 of my time traveling on buses and trains. Sigh. Is dat a bit too much?

Phuket ...Krabi...and?

Due to budget constraints, we're gonna change our Taiwan trip to Phuket -> Krabi instead. The tickets for Taipei's at 600 plus for the Dec flight ( to and fro) which is pretty expensive =(

so we're gonna juz do with phuket -> krabi and maybe BKK. hmm but BKK is messy. *bleah* so see how. Tigerairways's having a promo for air tix but it's due today! hm so we've gonna mk a quick decision!

Allergy

Sigh this muz be the karma for laughing at a classmate who got his ankle in cast =(

I took the painkiller prescribed by the dr before training yesterday. And after trg, I began to feel itchy. But I muz say the painkiller is good! I din feel pain at my ankle. But in return, Im having a bloated nose..Think it's an allergy reaction from the painkiller. Crapp..

Back fr the dr...

Still need to wait for another 2 weeks before I can run ...

The swelling has gone down but it's still swelling..the blue-blacks are still around my foot( the dr said it's old blood, so juz have to wait for it to clear on its own) My physio said that my foot still look v swollen thou. She shld have seen it earlier man, think it looks like a big bak zhang!

Think i'll go back for training, but will avoid running. Although the dr advised me not to swim, i think i'll still do it. Just have to avoid using the ankle too much. My next physio appt will be in 3 weeks time, cos the appointments are full. Hm 3 weeks later..I dun really understand how will it help 3 weeks later.

This week is supposed to be e-Learning week but lessons are still in progress. For most of the lessons, they are still in progress. Oh well..but at least i can get a lil break in between IS cos it's the Sep Hols for the schools.
