took my first leave today. premature but necessary and worth it. was a great day out. im completely utterly exhausted right now, so hopefully i have the time to blog about this some time soon. but from dimsum to swimming to kajang satay to awesome home dinner to starbucks to mission q to meeples-it was absolutely amazing-ness. was so much fun.
tomorrow's going to be a sad day!

ironman
i was up in langkawi for the ironman event. i felt so inspired. the people were great the supporters were even greater. i feel like without the great support, it would make the entire race even more difficult.
and this day, i have a dream. i have a dream that one day i will race ironman. my dad, my sister, my cousins, my closest friends, my boyfriend would come and cheer for me and support me. They would be at the finishing line, waiting for me to cross that line, to hear that epic line 'you are an ironman'.
the event was great and the experience was great. i stood under the sun, cheering for them. eventhough i did not know them. it was amazing.
and you know me, once i decide something, i'm kind of full speed ahead. i just signed up for the power bar duathlon in november. although i merely signed up for the sprint duathlon. this means it will be a 5km run followed by a 30km bike then a 5km run again. but i have to bear in mind that the day before, i have a 21km obstacle viper challenge. hence why i did not go for the full duathlon. i am still on the fence as to whether i should join the nusajaya traithlon on the 30th of november. yes no maybe? i will definitely need alot of training. my bike and swim is nowhere near average and my running fitness has gone down so much lately.
this weekend, i am planning to get a bike. and thus begins my training. probably some time during the week i am going to try a 2.5km run followed by a 15km bike and finishing it with a 2.5km run. i need a plan.
my standard chartered marathon is in a mere 10 days and i am SUPER not ready!
so today is already thursday and i won't be doing much today because i'm working till 1am. so i am coming up with a rough training plan for next week.
friday: 8km morning run. 1km afternoon swim.
saturday: 700am-9km UM loop run, 8am gasing hill hike, crossfit workout with the honeybadgers
sunday: 8km morning run, buy bike
monday: crossfit workout and 5km morning run
tuesday: 5km morning run followed by 9km loop at um
wednesday: tabata morning workout
thursday: biking
friday: 5km morning run, night swim
saturday: morning hike in gasing
sunday: run

langkawi again
back in langkawi again, twice in a month. touched down, and spent an hour and a half looking for broadband device. cannot believe it took me that long to get one. then had to do some prep work.
had seafood kinda dinner. i ordered a seafood meehoon and whacked it clean. also ordered a yaumak vege and softshellcrabs, and yes they were whacked clean as well. i think stress makes me want to eat. wanted to go for a run in the evening, well that was the plan but had too much prep work to do.
the hotel ain't so nice. am staying in one helang. location is a little far away from kuah town but the main issue i have is with the water-not sufficiently hot.
okays goodnight. i am exhausted. plan to wake up to go for a run. just saw my 2xu timing and i am horrified. placing only 40 is terrible. i know i had stomach problems but 40 is not acceptable. i should have done better. so wake up at 7, by 715 hopefully im out for my run till 815. come home, bath, buffet breakfats and then off to kuah towm by 910am.
less than 20 days to go. i need to buck up!

second thoughts
i am beginning to have second thoughts. maybe i should look into a different field? or maybe because it is due to the environment?
i actually dread the 2nd of october and 4th of december.
i am currently making plans to ensure that if anything happens, my commitments wont be affected.
