Good Guys

The good guys are always taken. Always.

Heartbreaking news. I've been doing some snooping and stalking. The humble hot guy I know is taken. Girlfriend two years younger than us. Wasted.

Birthday!

Birthday today! I know I should be excited, but I don’t feel that way. I just feel tired. Dead tired from the two day championship. Also feels like there is an air of solemn all around me.

Took my birthday off facebook. Just a few people wishing me – my truly close friends. Kind of great how it sieves out those who wish you simply for the sake of wishing you when they see it’s your birthday today versus those who truly care enough to remember your birthday.

Somehow, today’s birthday wishes mean nothing to me. I don’t feel touched or anything. Probably because of what happened yesterday. Now what happened yesterday definitely makes me tear up just thinking about it. I really felt the support from my friends. I guess it takes low points in life to show you who your real friends are.

Showtime!

Day 2 of championship. My turn to fight. Lost. Was not feeling scared or nervous. Just it didn’t feel right. I know my problems. 

As long as I don’t correct these factors, I don’t see myself ever winning a fight. 

National Championship!

It’s show time. National Taekwondo Championship. Yes, it’s a damn big deal. It’s national man!

Reality has hit me. Oh boy. What have I gotten myself into this time. Our team didn’t do so well today. Tired from all the cheering. Long day. Ended only at 8.30 p.m..

Freaking out a little. Messaged some friends for comfort. Thank god they responded. They really calmed me down a lot. One knows how terrible I am. Another doesn’t. Still both helped to take my mind off the championship.

Registration

Registration and weighing in. Skipped lunch. Was worth it, very well in weight. Not many girls at the stadium. Most are of the younger age categories. 

Final Gym Training

Final training at gym before actual championship. I still feel unprepared. And I injured my toes, along with suffering some bruises from clashing of shins. Ouch. 

Final Fitness Training

Final training with KL team before actual championship. Received our t-shirts. I feel proud of it, but I also feel that I don’t deserve it. 

Holiday?

Public holiday today, but was still busy as ever. Had a meeting in the afternoon at Curve, regarding YLP. I seemed had a bad headache, where the crowds were getting to me. Left the Curve early to head for training. I’m getting rusty, even with the amount of training I’m getting. I know why. I need techniques training. My basics are weak. My techniques are weak. But we’re not doing that.  I don’t know how I’ll survive. 

Knight in Shining Armour!

I think I’ve found my knight in shining armour! Hahaha!

I was late for meeting. Turned out, meeting was cancelled because everyone wasn’t free. So, the only two of us who showed up went for lunch. Gossiped a little. He told me a bit, I told him a bit about what’s happening at our ends.

After lunch, we left because there wasn’t much left to do. His car was right in front. My car was a distance. I walked to my car, watched him drive past me. I was instinctively unlocking my car and all. And all of a sudden, I couldn’t unlock my steering lock. I looked at the key. Omg, the key was chipped. I tried again, couldn’t open it. It couldn’t fit into the lock. I got out of my car, and before I knew it, he was next to me. I told him I couldn’t unlock my steering lock. He got out of his car, and came over to help me. Don’t know how he did it, but he managed to unlock it for me. Which couldn’t have been easy, because even on a normal day I couldn’t do it, if the angle was not right.

That aside, there is something about him. I was comfortable with him even from the first day I met him. I like talking to him, and honestly, I feel that I can spend few hours sitting there just talking to him. He is the type of person I’ll automatically click with. 

Lost!

I’ve followed my friend there twice. Checked Google Maps countless times. Consulted friends at least 10 times. Still, I managed to get lost.

Destination? Cheras Badminton Stadium, a supposedly very famous stadium. Was there for training. However, despite getting lost, I still got there in good time. Only 40 minutes. Distance was about 25 km one way.

Coming home, again, after consulting people, I got terribly lost. Found my way back though. But ended up on a wrong road which was quite jam.

Oh well! I learnt some new roads today! At least I now know KL a little better! Won’t get lost the next time!

Fast Track!

I love my work. Well, I can’t go to the extent to say that it’s play, but I will admit it. I do love my work. Workload’s not too bad on me yet, it’s more on my senior’s part for that. Not to say that I don’t have work to do either. But with people you love, work isn’t really that bad. I love my team. Quite a big team, because our client is sufficiently big. But I only work with 1 or 2 of them most of the time.

Been working with a senior since Monday. She’s really nice and helpful. Never yelled at me yet. Haha. And don’t think she will. But she does look really busy. Datelines, with exams. I can understand. Today, just started working with another senior. First day with him and already he asked me. On our back from client’s place because we had a department meeting. We were quiet for a bit. So I guess, trying to make small talk he asks. So, boyfriend? Hahaha. Still cracks me up. Brought us closer I guess. 

Terry Fox Run!

My first run! Terry Fox Run! 3 km, completed in 20 minutes (plus minus 1 minute). Was a confident-boosting run definitely. I went in with a semi-exhausted leg muscles. Had a training the night before. Not burned out, but definitely not at my top condition. Yeah excuses la. Don’t know how much better I could have run. 19 minutes maybe?

But in this state, don’t think I can go for 5 km or more. Maybe if my muscles weren’t so tired, I would at least be able to jog further. Overall, was great fun. Did sufficiently well. I definitely have to thank my sparring coach for all the stamina-building training he put me through. Results are showing now. 

Survivor!

Training today, was … Not that bad? I didn’t even feel like dying. Could still go on. I wonder whether my legs will ache tomorrow. Hope not though. 

Deepavali

Holiday today. Went to college for training, but there was no training. Just sitting around and talking. Was good though, because my legs were hurting like mad, even two days after training.  Master gave us a smiley toy today. Each of us. Mine was a red heart with a smiley face. J

Aftermath

Aftermath of yesterday’s training. My legs cannot even walk properly. They ache like mad. I remember, yesterday I asked my friend, will the training be tiring since there’s no physical training involved? He told me, can be tiring, can also be not tiring. Depends. Well, it was tiring for me. But few weeks down the road, I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Ampang!

First time going through Ampang. Confusing like hell man. Thank god I didn’t drive there. Friend picked me up. Was good training. Learned a lot of techniques, unlike my previous training where I’ve only built on fitness and stamina.

I do have a reasonable stamina. But I still couldn’t handle the training, mainly because the kind of fitness it required was different. This was very much of kicking only. Nothing else. My previous training all revolved around jumping and jogging exercises. It employs the usage of different muscles. 

Internship!

First day of internship. First day of ever working, my entire life. Went well I think? Orientation was a killer. Dead tired even after the first day of work. Master told me about training just few hours before the actual training. Though I brought my clothes, I was too tired to go. Skipped training. Must go on Wednesday for the Ampang one.
