Busy Day... Gym & SSA...
The only words that I can describe about today is 'busy', 'busy' and 'busy'! I do not know why I was feeling tired for the entire day. Probably due to yesterday's exercising at the swimming pool that makes me want to sleep more. On the other hand, maybe the work that I've been going through would drain my energy quickly. Weird Monday... Monday blues but still I need to go for work. =.=''
Well, talking about yesterday's training, I felt that my butterfly stroke had improved by... a bit?! Doing a few repetitions on some back extension exercises, I attend,ed for my swim training after wards and guess what, I'm able to do my butterfly stroke well, excuting at a considerable right technique and fast speed. Cool! Then, swimming my freestyle was superb. It was my first time to swim such a fast speed with 100m at 1 minute 30 seconds. I've improved, yet when it comes to towing, I went slow. 3 minutes... Haix.. more practice needed.
Office work in SSA today was very bored and I kept yawning. There was alot of paperwork to do but still managable. Thinking that the gym would be a good place for me to slack later about 5pm, it end up to be a wrong perception instead. There were many users this time round, probably due to the start of the semester and more students would like to try out the newly renovated gym when the lesson starts.
This was my first time ever, seeing the gym packed and guessed what, the gym had to be closed temporary for in-coming users as it is full. Having a full attendance of 50 members could be a huge torture for me. Firstly, all the TEP students (my juniors) were leaving at 5.30pm as their shift had ended. Next, approximately 6 people would be at the counter in every few minutes, some signing in while others going off. It was messy and doing everything sngle-handedly, I was trying to find some time to do my own stuff, only till 8 plus when I get to relax.
Well, at least I get a rough gauge of what's gonna happen for the up-coming weeks, or should I rephrased as the period when school reopens, knowing how the gym looks like and needed to be run by me. Anyway, I guess I will be continue to work in Nanyang Polytechnic gym everyday once I finished my bond with SSA. This is the only job that is much flexible for me, as well as keeping myself near to school to continue my social activities, such as meeting people and attending other social functions.
No life? Maybe but I guess, I may need to restrict myself from too extreme sports in the future from now on. I'm learning to take up individual sports rather than team sports, which builds up one's challenge to themselves rather than competiting with others. Mental challenge might be the medicine for me to improve and mature more in the future, like fighting for my survival during the Army? (Hope it isnt that tough but its alright, I can take it.)
Currently, my legs are hurting. Its around the kneecap area but yet, its not the kneecap but something below it, considered the joints to be aching. Extreme exersion could be the cause of the pain but I guess less walking and running could do the job in recovering them. However, my ankle was hurting too in the morning when climbing down the stairs. It hurts, as if it is dislocating soon, breaking off at any certain point if I make one more huge impact on it.
Hurts... but not as hurt as the wound inside my ribs. Pain... Is this the way to experience pain? Physically and mentally? Who's gonna be the cure for all the pain? Doctors? Yeah, physically and spiritually but mentally and of cause, emotionally. Pain... The lesson of true pain...
