training and shoes

Despite feeling totally shacked out, I totally enjoyed the training yesterday. I haven’t pushed myself so hard for quite a while and I embraced every moment of it. Christine did a longer 5km set while wee ling and I were asked to do the 600m and 400m sets. I definitely did better than my Monday attempt. Running alone vs running with someone.. the latter made me work harder. I value sham’s coaching..and from now till end of the year, I’ll want to be diligent in attending training sessions. Christine lost quite a lot of weight and she looks fantastic now. I remember the first time she joined us, she struggled to finish the 3km run. Yesterday, she completed 5km in 35mins. Impressive!

I managed to meet the 75% assignment target but I got this huge cloud of blur-ness on top of me when I got there. I am lost in the myriad of terminology and concepts. Alike last term, qm was the module that got me worrisome, this term it’ll be POF(principles of finance). econs is more of concepts, less of calculations.

Right now I’m working on my assignment..going through my notes..text..whatever I can do to complete it by the next 1-2days.

I’ve been wearing the black leather shoes dearie bought me about 2 years ago. The leather has cracked..the left sole has a little hole..but I can’t bear to throw them away.. these are the most comfortable shoes I’ve owned so far..and it cost dearie over rm100. dearie bought me another pair of black leather shoes to replace these some while ago, nonetheless, I haven’t started using the new one. Whenever I’m tempted to shove them down the chute, I remember dearie’s shoes. The last pair he threw away was worn till the sole nearly came off. The current pair he has has a hole on one side but he’s still wearing them. Somehow he has rubbed his thriftiness on to me. he’s always generous to buy things for me but stingy on himself. It reminds me not to take things for granted..and I will only throw away things when they are beyond using condition. =)

Today’s john’s bday! Happy birthday to you, brother! =)
