owe money pay money

so after the trip to australia where i was thoroughly shocked
by the behavior of a certain prinCESS and the amount of spending
i incurred. i realized school is about to start and my ever
loosening grip on money seems to make it want to slip away faster
than i can attract a girlfriend. i just signed up for the
bus.sel.ton ironma.n and that, coupled with the airfare has set
me back a little over a thousand dollars with my school fees
yet to be paid. so i guess i can be glad that i signed up for
ippt at least, since thats an easy 400dollars for me. why pass
up our tight-fisted government's money?

training is going to be intense since i want to set an ambitious
timing of below 12hours. if i can hit 10hours i'll be godlike
already but thats unlikely. i desperately need to work on my
swims but it seems that i dont have any good help on the way.
looks like all thats left is cable pulls for me. the gymwork
will be helpful for the first 12weeks of my 16week training
program. so i can lose the upper body weight and have less to
carry as i tune my body to have more endurance muscles. right.

i've been training with the cool mr b.izad r.io elij.ah chua.
and my runs have never felt better. firstly i know i'm being
pushed instead of when i'm running with the wannabe-big-pussies
who runs so much but cannot improve their runs. i did 12km
2 days before. 10km with an hour of gymwork yesterday and
a 40km cycle with a 8km run this morning. at least i know
how a transition may feel like now. i'm rather worried though
if i should use contact lenses for my swim though.

school is also starting slowly while i get used to the fact
that i dont even have 1 core ps module this sem. well i dont
care since i rather hate my major but my apathy is indeed
disconcerting. i've got 1 sinag.pore s.tudies and 3 general
educ.ation mo.dules along with finance for a grand total of
5 modules this sem. it kindda feels weird since i like 6 or
7 modules, but i guess its ok since i'll be having the
ironman where i guess i need to be self motivated to train
harder. which is tougher since the personal enemy is always
the hardest to beat. so i guess i'm not having a slack sem
either. haha guess i wont feel too bad then.

i wonder how the new program is like for the guys. especially
for those who are left. i hope they start to impress soon.
on the other hand though, i have an option of joining the
c canoe so i'll be nearby to watch the drama as things unfold.
will they get better juniors who are less selfish and grade
conscious? who knows. or they could just get pretty boys
with big muscles like tua gong who never really could row
well and never really invested anything in it anyway. or will
the emotional people just wreck the team. no wonder i dont
watch tv when i have such real life drama.

now if i can only find accommodation for my ironman dammit!
