5/12

Down to Crossfit Hub today for another WOD. Including training, it's 6 times this week. I just realised my only rest day was Thursday? Oh wow... Really ramping up the intensity and frequency. Never felt more tired yet so alive. This is good stuff.

WOD 5/12: "Fight Gone Bad"
Air squats
Overhead squats
4-count flutter kicks
Box Jjumps
Weighted sit ups
Medicine ball Burpees
AMRAP 1 minute, 2 minutes break between each set. Total 3 sets.

I started with the weighted sit ups. 10kg. Err... Haha. The numbers kept reducing during the 3 sets. Initially was 20? Then it just dropped to 15. The burpees with the 5kg medicine ball... I was averaging only 10? Not so used to that. Same for the overhead squats. Initially it was a little hard to grasp, wasn't "tearing the bar apart". But in my second set, I got more comfortable with that. Wasn't so good for elbow, but wasn't too bad either. Just a little ache. Hope it'll be fine for training tomorrow. The crosses are gonna be tough, and I will simply die with overextensions when I throw them ):
Oh. And I did my first handstand today! Did I? Ok, nevermind, I don't remember if my phat boy assisted me but still! I overcame that fear of hitting my head against the wall/floor! Next up, pull ups! I will try. It's really understandable how addictive CF is. Haha. Once I stop competitive Muay Thai, it's probably more regular CF for me. I'd like to go with Phat Boy (:
Phat Boy and Phat Girl need to go rock climb some time too! Oh man... So many things I wanna do!

After WOD and lunch at Commonwealth

(BOOHOO, no favourite YTF), went walking around Sheng Siong opposite Commonwealth MRT. Haven't been to a Sheng Siong in awhile, but since when did they have this?! :

Not the butter. The electronic pricing device. Haha. Wa, not bad.

When I got to the showroom, there was more temptation. This time in the form of famous tau sar piah from Balestier. These are really my favourite ones! Had one sweet and one salty one. Can't resist ):


Went down to Arab Street with mum, brother and one of the staff from IN2 to get carpets for the showroom. The opening's on Saturday, so I gotta skip training on Friday under my mum's orders. We spent a lot of time there... But nothing was really happening. I was just sitting there talking to my brother while my mum and the other guy talked to the carpet guy. My brother and I both have sensitive noses and the shop was just killing us. Saw this interesting building with a huge ass Mentos hanging outside.

I think my mum probably realised how we were being tortured so she gave us taxi fare and chased us home. Haha. Oh... But catching a cab was not easy at all. We walked to Raffles Hospital and their taxi stand is close to non-existent! Had to call a cab, waited damn long for it to come! Went to Amma's house first, thinking I might be able to catch the rest of the family before they headed home, but was a little too late. Either that or they left pretty early! Mark got his new iPhone 4 already! I also want! I should be getting mine mid Jan! My brother is the ultimate critic of iPhones. Haha. Meanwhile, Mark and I are Apple fans. I really love my MBP!!! I used to be anti-Apple though. That was when I had my iPod Mini, and it died on me at least thrice! I got too sick and tired of bringing it in for repair and bought a Samsung YP-K3 instead. It's really a not too bad MP3. Touch pad, nice lights, slim, looks like iPod Nano. Then I lost my cable and I gave up on that too. What am I gonna do with my iTouch once I get my iPhone?! The new generation iTouch even has a camera la. Who wants to buy my old iTouch. Plus it's 64GB :/ Why do I even have a 64GB iTouch, I will never understand. I bet I don't even have 2GB worth of songs in it. I'm just so lazy to rip songs/download them!

Dinner:


Another good serving of chicken. Indian chicken soup. Haha. Really good for colds. Used to drink it when I got sick, just very soothing. Chicken soup for the soul?
Had fruits, since there weren't any vegetables left other than long beans. I don't like long beans. I will not eat long beans from outside, and if they are cooked at home, they must be sliced really thin, or they make squeaky sounds as I chew them! Makes chills run down my spine and I just cringe!!! Ok, maybe I'm weird. But I only like long beans when they are really soft/thinly sliced ok...


I need to wake up early tomorrow ): It's gonna be tomorrow already leh. SIGH. Need to drive down to Mazda Service Centre. Will be first time driving alone. Hope I don't crash! HAHA. Ok, time to sleep. My ass really hurts. I definitely pulled something la. Can't even sit down now cos my ass hurts!!! How the hell am I gonna train tomorrow, I do not know ):
