Cycling Trip!

we went up to M'sia to cycle on Sunday
From Sungai Rengit towards Desaru and then onwards towards Sedili and back
Dr Baoying, Devathas, the Moks and me
Had a great training session with these powerful riders
160km in 5hours 15mins with 2 drink and snack stops at Petronas
Will definitely wanna do this again, but not anytime soon cos the boat ride was so expensive!!!!
$23 for the trip there and back

some pictures!

never ending road. wind was very strong...check out the pro drafters.hahaha
me, small mok, devathas, big mok and dr baoying
witnessed a water sprout too! never heard/saw one in my life prior to this.really cool (:

pictures of the warts (eww)

WARNING: disgusting pictures. view at own risk











very very swollen, 2 days after liquid nitrogen

not only on the lil toe, big toe and ball of feet also

thank God its much much better today! just leaking some pus from the holes :)

hope the warts are DEAD DEAD DEAD!!!!

Hooray

and the first semester of my life in NIE is over!
it was quite an enjoyable semester
my classmates and course mates are fantastic and I looked forward to going for classes

feeling pretty free now, nothing to do
wish I could train train train
but I just went to the doc to get rid of the warts which have been residing in my foot for the longest time ever
so it's pretty bad, whole toe swelled like a lil sausage and it was !!!!!!!!!! painful
had to hobble around on my left (injured ankle) leg cos the ball of my foot n big toe had warts too, but they're not as bad as the major one on my lil toe
I hope the virus DIE DIE DIES!!!!
that left me unable to train cos it was so painful even when I was sitting around doing nothing
not supposed to get it wet either
so im so sad....But I hope this solves this problem once and for all!!!

will post pictures of the (very) disgusting toe when I get back to my laptop which is in hall

but as of today,it's very much better, although I still have to bear with the pain for the first 100 steps I take, or about the first 10minutes of cycling before the pain subsides
way better than the past few days
hope it gets better tmr! heading to desaru for a long long long ride (:

pet peeve

i get sooooo irritated when this happens
you are walking on the pavement
there are 2 people walking towards you, side by side
if i were them, i'll walk behind my friend so that the other person can walk through without walking out of the pavement or worse still, crashing into the bushes
but NO, they continued walking side by side and forced me to walk into the bushes!
thanks
how rude
urgh!!

anyway, this happened during class today and I was pretty upset
during ed psych class (with other non-PE people), we were on the topic of the problems we may face with class management and we were supposed to present the rules that we would enforce to specific subject lessons
so one of the PE groups said that students were supposed to change into their PE attire even if they were sick
i guess they didn't specifically state that this refered to the students who did not have an MC and were feeling unwell on that day
but even so, the class (non-PE people) had a HUGE reaction to that rule
I tell you, I can't get the sound out of my head
even after re-explaining to them, the look on their faces were terrible
they made it seem as though it was a torture to go for PE classes, especially the female teachers
It really upset me that the other teachers treated PE this way
it shows how much they think PE is so NOT important and that if the students don't want to do it, they will agree with them
Thank God our tutor (who is a very good tutor) really said what was on our minds at that time
she said (not word for word, but something like that) "i think this is the problem that many PE teachers face: other teachers think that PE is not important and release the students late, thinking that it's only a few minutes off the PE lesson and it doesn't matter. But out of the whole week of academic stuff, there is only so little time for PE, for them to get out and exercise, and it is very important.."
yay for Mrs Chee.haha

i guess the Singapore society is still unable to accept sports as an important part of our lives
check out this article - Singaporean's Belief in Sports still lacking
Sports in Singapore will never go far like that
with parents, teachers, the majority of the population not believing
Change is really hard and it'll take lotsa radical peole and hard work
it'll take a pretty long time

I love Singapore a lot
but I wish some things would change

was talking to ron this morning over video msn chat and he was telling me how the sports in loughborough uni was way up there and it's really motivating to see every one training just as hard, or even harder than you. the facilities there are superb and there are like 13 coaches who are all very qualified. really happy for him that he's training so hard and getting into really good shape :)

picture of the indoor track with the outdoor one just next to it. super nice!

virtual world

i just realised yesterday that the internet is so much of our daily lives now
realised that in the pantry yesterday when I saw that even prima flour has a website and tips on baking!
amazing
what a change from just less than a century ago

so I'm pretty free these days cos we're done with all our PE modules
left with a 4 hour week now
been trying to study for the 2 papers coming up in exactly 2 weeks time

but for now, I'm trying to organise all my emails
in my head, i think of emails like mails floating around out there
gotta delete them or download them to my com
and i created so many email addresses that I suddenly got quite fed-up with them and felt that a more professional one would be nice and only ONE account
so i'm gonna be using chanskdinah@singnet.com.sg from now on!
haha

sis's bday is in a month's time!
it keeps raining (make that STORMING) every afternoon and then the sun shines so brightly again after that




how random

Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy
it does not boast
it is not proud
it is not rude
it is not self-seeking
it is not easily angered
it keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth
It always protects
always trusts
always hopes
always perseveres

Love never fails.

Sunday, October 05, 2008

I blogged again

somehow when you feel that something terrible is gonna happen and you ignore that gut feeling
that terrible thing really happens
it's happened to me a few times already
and this morning was a great scare
the podcast recording for the project we were working on last night until 1.30am wasn't saved
AND
my com restarted by itself when I went to the bathroom for some important business
wow.I had a great shock
Stared at the screen for a few minutes
thank God the recording was saved in the temp files folder
but it was chopped up into many 30secs recordings
so I had to cut and paste them together
didn't go for this morning's trg too cos I was so tired and couldn't wake up
hate it when I miss trainings
100km ride wasted :(

went for PA trg for the past 2 days
shag man
Think I swam more than the past week in these 2 days
but it's gd.I think more of these sessions will make me improve

sitting at the coffee shop, waiting for my dinner

it's the time of the month when i hate being a girl

in addition to that
the warts on my right foot are not being very kind to me
so i'm hobbling ard on my left
and the left knee was hurting already

in other words, if you still don't understand
i am in a great pain :(

Sunday, September 14, 2008

I feel I've changed a lot
I'm no longer the cheery energetic girl I used to be
Training zaps all my energy
It's bad. It isn't supposed too be like that
Mom says my brother says "whatever for?so stressful."
Maybe it is
But at the end of the day
It's pretty satisfying when you win :)

Is it worth it?


Maye not


I know I'm doing wrong, maybe that's why.........


was talking to lala aka baba aka alibaba last night and I asked her if she ever saw me cry
she said no
I think very few people have seen me cry before cos I'm too proud to cry infront of others
but yes, I am human, and of late, it has been coming to me quite often
I'm not as strong as I used to be anymore
both physically & mentally

oh well, snap out of this self wallowing/ pitying mood dinah
sorry for the sad post

Friday, September 12, 2008

And Dinah finally updates her stagnant blog after almost one and a half months
God has been super good to me
His blessings are really overpouring
A summary of what has been happening the past month:

21km of running
Did my first longer than 10km running race - Singapore Bay Run aka Army Half Marathon aka Sheares Bridge Run - whatever you wanna call it. Won the women's closed category with a timing of 1hr 30mins 16secs. It's really amazing, cos I hardly ran at all! My weekly mileage was less than 20km??!?! And my hip had been bothering me for almost a month. I was so worried that I won't even finish the race!! So that just proves that God IS real and He ran with me and gave me that victory. :):)

NIKE+ Human Race
Again, He ran with me and gave me a superb PB of 39.55mins for my 10km. The first time going under 40mins!! Really thank God for the gift!! That timing was a lil more than half a min behind singapore's fastest marathoner, Vivian Tang. Followed her pace for the first 5km,but when she realised I was behind her,she sped up and I couldn't keep up any longer. Was a really tough race, first time starting fast at the beginning and pushing all the way til the end. That timing made me the champion for the U25 and 2nd for the open category, which gave me many many good prizes. Catch the human race telecast on channel 5 on the 19th of September (if im not wrong)

teamNUS Sportswoman of the year award
Yup, thanks to the bi team's nomination, (thks nic josh and alvin!) me and mok got the sportswoman n man award together. Pics of us gonna be up on e lampposts soon! Plus merit award for cross country! And honorary awards too :)

Sponsors

First Endurance finally gave me my supplments of multi vitamins, optygen and EFS drink, and I really think they work! My aerobic endurace is way high now,but gotta work on my muscular structure now to keep up with my improvement in the cardio side. Thanks James and Barry from 3-nergy!

NIKE gave me a 2year contract, more than what I can ask for. I'm very happy to be part of the NIKE family and I know I'm well taken care of. Thanks Andrew!

Gonna get my new Ridley Democales frame later from Passi:one bicycles. Second hand frame,but still very new, and definitely much lighter than my triton s frame. thanks dan for the frame!

School

School has been great! God placed me in a wonderful class with superb classmates, really look forward to going for class these days. Fun, energetic, caring and responsible. My PGDE 3A class rocks!! Love all of them. The tests and assignments are not so nice though..what nonsense philosophy and all.bleah...

Really miss nus life though. Weelee, lala, zy, brenda, sharon, zhijian, melfy, stephee, weihurrr etc etc. Been going back for swim trainings though, so I still get to see people around.

Celestine, laureen, jasmine and troy - haven't seen u guys in agesssss!! All so busy. Hope we can find a time to catch up on each other.

Oh yeah, had an opportunity to do a couple of tests too. The lactate and VO2 MAX test at SSC as well as a body scan for Growth & Development test in school. Quite pleased that my body fat is 14percent! Preetty low, but the average for female triathletes is 10-15pct, so I can still cut down!!! :p

Very happy for zy for a particular reason :) pls take care of yourself babe!! Hope u feel less flu-y soon!

To weewee n lala, enjoy ur holidays soon!! So excited for u all.haha..I wanna eat all of ur bakingssssssss!!!!

Ok that was a pretty long post.took me the whole bus ride from nus to ssc and half of the ride back.now u understand why I don't like to blog?cos it takes up too much time.haha

Off to get my new bike now!!! But it's raininggggg ):

good day at the office today (as mok would say it)
got 2nd at the Mizuno Wave run
Praise God! :)
lost to some kenyan lady but won the other one
I'd say it wasn't an easy run, was fighting out for 2nd with the other kenyan lady for almost 2km
Thank God for the strength and I dropped her with about 3km left

As usual, marshals play a very important role
due to the horrible marshals, who were talking when mok and another malaysian ran past a major turn, both of them DNF and did an extra round around bedok reservoir!!!!
so sucky la

anyways, here are some pictures of me in action for the past 3 weeks

























Saturday, July 26, 2008

went for the PESS camp yesterday
I'd say PE teachers are really a different bunch
it was much more lively and fun than the Team Bonding Session we had a few days ago
the people were much open and had more energy (duh, we're PE teachers)
Proud to be in PESS (Physical Education & Sports Science)
camp was really fun
played many different games: floorball, touch rug, netball, volleyball and there's this new game called tchouck ball, a lil like handball without the contact
realised my life in KR was really enriching, cos i learnt practically every sport that we'll be covering in PESS during IBGs
not everyone knew all the games and i felt good that i knew how to play :)

school starts on monday!

i miss many ppl
zhiyun, weewee, lala, sharon, stephee, brendaaaa, pangster, wei hurr, melfy, happy and many many other hall ppl...
i miss KR
i miss E block

New Beginnings

hello everyone
new blog for a new season of my life
(zhiyun, sounds like you.haha)

I am now a graduate with a Bachelor of Science
how does it feel? it doesn't feel real
I am now bonded to MOE for the next 5 years
again, it doesn't feel real
I feel like I'm just floating around
This new season of my life calls for a deep reflection on what I've been doing for the past 3 years

I'm still trying to adapt to this new life
Of long 2.5 hour races
Of trying to juggle 3 sports
Of trainings that take away all my energy
Of going into NIE and making new friends all over again
Of spending less time with the one I love

God has been with me all this time
He has blessed me so much
I can't thank Him enough
His grace and mercy really overflows

pretty random, but that's it for now

Race updates:

VGO Mount Faber Run 2008 - 1st
OSIM International Triathlon - 1st U23 Elite
Port Dickson International Triathlon - 2nd Elite Open

Friday, May 16, 2008

crashed again

but thank God it's getting better

I can do ALL things through Christ who give me strength
not by my own strength but His

thanks to all who showed concern 

especially to you
thanks for EVERYTHING
love you (:

Friday, April 18, 2008

Set the World on fire - Britt Nicole

I wanna set the world on fire
Until it’s burning bright for You
It’s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?

I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There’s nothing I can not do
Nothing I cannot do

I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hands
My hands my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord, use me

I wanna set the world on fire
I wanna set the world on fire, yeah
I’m gonna set the world on fire
Set the world on fire

Thursday, January 17, 2008

been killing my legs these days
went for a short ride by myself on sat evening and clever-ly put lotsa lactic in it from starting with the south buona vista route
filled it up with even more of the acidic stuff on sunday with 200m sprints to prepare for IHG, in the blazing morning sun
by this time, my legs were already rather sore and kinda numb that the warm up run on the treadmill in the gym on monday was superbly fast cos i couldn't feel my legs
knotted it up even more with weights
haven't done so much leg work in the gym for quite sometime
that really killed my legs man
then the ultimate was the ride with rodalink on tuesday
i was already not walking properly, especially down the stairs cos of all the lactic acid in my legs
but somebody insisted that i went for the ride (hahahaha :p)
the group that day was soooooo fast
faster than usual man
i was kinda being dropped already around the first long stretch
could only see the faint blinking of the rear bike lights far ahead in the distance
they started so so fast and i'm the kind who needa warm up my legs before chiong-ing
was about to give up already and turn back to hall cos my legs were really dying and sceaming out in pain
i think if they could talk, they'll be cursing me for being so crazy
but anyway i prayed realllllly hard
and God is great maaaaaaaaaaan.miracle
a long stop at the traffic light gave me a second chance
couldn't belive my eyes when i saw the big bunch of blinking lights in front of me
from then on, He helped me to keep up with them and even be the front few at times
that was a miracle man, considering the condition of my legs

so i went for a massage yesterday
and it was the most terrible massage ever
painful to the maximum
my muscles were already painful to the TOUCH
so what more a massage
aunty rosa found soooooo many knots and they were sooooooooo painful i tell u
gave me so many bruises after that but it did my muscles good

okay wanted to elaborate more but pauline koh pei wen is here now
gonna go run in the 12pm sun (that's crazy man) cos she woke up LATE cos she's a PIG
hahahhahhaahahhaha

Monday, January 14, 2008

sometimes i really HATE the fickle weather
so nice n sunny in the morning and afternoon
then it starts to POUR during the late afternoon
it would've been nice if it just rained and then cleared
but NO
drizzle stop drizzle stop
it looked good enough to swim, sky wasn't dark
so i headed to the pool
usually it would've been okay to swim already
but due to this new (super laggy) safety system that let's you know if it's cat 1 or whatever, the pool was still closed
waited for ~20mins and it started to get cloudy again
the lifeguard (think he saw that i was so so so sad that we can't swim) decided to let us go in to swim
i was sooooo happy and quickly jumped into the water
but after 3 laps.THREE miserable 50meters
i had to get up
sighhhhhhhh
im sorry for complaining here, but i was so so so so so pissed
didnt help that i was so sleeeeeepy
sorry angela for scaring you.hahaha
sleepy dinah is an angry dinah
well at least i got to do gym

on a happier note
it's so nice to return to your room with the doors of your neighbours all open
and everyone just sitting around, chatting
so happy that stepheee's back and staying diagonally opposite
makes the whole wing more lively
and my neighbours are so happening la
playing mahjong, not with money but with push ups
hahaha...and they HAD to start this when school is just starting
purrrfect timing man
happy that there's dinner in hall again
don't hafta wreck my brains thinking of what to eat
don't hafta spend money too

okay i shall go bathe and then support tennis
hope KR retains the championship!

Saturday, January 12, 2008

and the noob has done it again!
broke the glass jug again this morning before leaving for the final day of ivp swimming
thank God that this time i didnt get any majorly huge cuts like the last time
just very very very small ones
but they were quite deep and didnt stop bleeding for more than 20 minutes
i have learnt my lesson
1) place the jug against the wall OR
2) get a plastic jug, which i don't really want to cos i have some things against plastic containers

we lost the overall IVP swimming championship while retaining the girls' overall champ
all by a mere THREE points.sighhhhhhhhh
well we tried our best....
especially isabelle and jac!!
they swam so so so many events!!!

okay kinda tired now
will blog again soon
school's starting in 2 days!

Friday, January 11, 2008

i'm such a superb rider man
toppled even before the ride started
so paiseh i tell you
that got me huge bruises on my butt and a graze on the knee
never mind, continued riding
had a great ride yesterday
could feel that i had improved alot from the previous rides
but NOT improving on the falling down
all it takes is a millisecond, or a blink of the eye
and i headed to the drain & *crash*
felt my bike hit the curb, back hitting the grass, followed by my head whacking it
the ride was actually over already and we were reaching fong seng
it was at the exact same junction where my contacts flew out abt a month ago
i couldn't believe it man
NOOB
well that crash gave my bike a few big scratches
thank God no major ones
my helmet a short line down the styrofoam
a slight strain in my neck
and many scratches on my back (scratched through the cycling jersey man.dunno how did it happen)
i'm actually still in disbelief that it happened
just thank God that it's nothing very serious
now i think that buying my brother's insurance is actually good for me
hahahahahahaha

was thinking of the module issue on the bus to the pool just now
i will take this positively
hafta take an extra module, but that only means that i'm gonna be learning something new!
really treasure my life in NUS, so this will just be another platform for me to learn new stuff :)
just hope that it'll not affect my core modules

thanks zhiyun, angela and weelee for your concerns and for trying to make me feel less upset :)
love you guys
here's to a great semester, spending more time with each other before 3 of us graduate!
cheers!

Not my will but Yours be done
Lord help me to put You first in all I do

Thursday, January 10, 2008

I AM THE BIGGEST NOOOOOOB ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET
i can't believe how careless i am
so upsetting

God please help me through this semester.the final one.i wanna make it good.
I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength!

on a happier note, angela moved some of her stuff in today!
weelee's gonna come in tmr
helped angela clean her room by using my all time favourite powerful sucker of a vacuum cleaner!
hahaha.sucked all the dirt up then we cleaned it with rags
then went to ikea with zhiyun and angela for a delicious lunch of swedish meatballs, cream of mushroom soup, kids spaghetti (for me) and salmon for the other two
followed by a cab ride to queensway cos it was pouring.(can you believe it.cab to the building opposite) and the uncle happily dropped us far away from the entrance so we still got drenched
in the end.wow
zhiyun finally got her shoes & angela tried hers out
happy for both of them!

and now the weather is so nice and the roads are dry
lovely for a ride
but it's time for swim training
-_-"
i am gonna start my complaining now
sometimes i really really dislike the rain
to the maximum spider
wanted to go for a long ride this morning, but due to the heavy rain the night before
the roads were so wet, so no ride
woke up to nice weather
but decided to wait till later in the day to run & cycle so that i wouldn't have to bathe cos swim training is at 6.30pm
so i took another nap
and when i woke up, it was all dark
didn't look like the rain was heavy so out came the bike
and a few minutes later, a few hundred meters away from hall
it seemed like there was a line drawn across the road
one side saying "rain", the other "no rain"
it just poured
and the bike got wet (which i totally HATE) and duh i got wet too
dangerous to cycle in that weather, so a total of 6mins 30secs and 2.7km was all i got
spent the next 20mins or so cleaning up the dirty bike
aaaarggggggghhhhhhh
totally hate it when i wanna run or cycle and it rains JUST when i want to go
doesn't help that the gym key is missing, so can't run on the treadmill
i know, i thank God for the rain
but sometimes it reallllllllyyyyyy pisssssssssesssssss me offfffffff!!!!!!!
okay, it maybe my fault for not gg to ride yesterday
or for not gg earlier today
so now i'm sitting here, wet, complaining
i don't care, i'm gonna go run in the rain.bye
