backlog

been some time since i posted something...

for the past week starting from last thurs, i've been sitting down alot. reason being - to mark prelim scripts. so sedentary to the extent that i suspect i might get piles if i continue this any longer. it can be quite a fustrating experience marking the students' scripts, especially when faced with crap. if i could, i probably would have summon the student right in front of me and i give him/her a thrashing.

last thurs was also the first time we joined the safra running club in their training. slow jog to queenstown stadium (approx 4km) from mt faber safra before starting the program, ie. 4X1.2km interval training. the interval was extremely tough for me! the pace was way faster than my norm and made me rather uncomfortable. after interval training, that's not it. we had to slow jog back to our start point for cooling down stretches. i was really inspired by the passion that many of them had. the kind of immense effort to train as well as to volunteer their time to help out in the club. as much as i expected, i had to rest for the following days to recover from the soreness and tightness in my thighs.

still on last week, sat morning was supposed to be a long run day.. however, the weather didn't permit when the sky kept threatening to rain. what damper.

we hung around in great world city for a while in the afternoon before he popped up with this suprise:



in preparation for marriage prep course lesson, we had to do an online quiz to have a gauge of our personality.
very interesting especially after hearing the pastor and wife out on wed. if two persons of complete opposite come together, the harder they have to make things work out. that was the case for both of them. so, that's a form of motivation... if two complete opposite can, i'm sure we can both somehow find a way when conflict arises.
