Dinner-of-the-Day

Had dinner at Professor Brawn (Novena Square) this evening. Interesting concept! I love their menus, they slot right back into the "library".

Shopping-of-the-Day

Went out to shop for camping stuff this evening! Well, pQ did most of the shopping anyway!

Weather-of-the-Day

Wow, it's raining so heavily that visibility has greatly decreased outside my window. Everywhere I turn there's water!

Find-of-the-Day

I found an awesome website to tune into - 8tracks.com. It's an archive of mixes, and you can add to it. It works well on the iPhone too. Pretty awesome. Found this website during a night of insomnia, was looking for sleep tunes and found this. Some of the mixes are way awesome. Go check it out!

And no, I don't get any perks for endorsing them, just sharing.

Shoot-of-the-Day

NTU National Invitational Shoot 2012 - 352/400 (85, 85, 89, 93).

I must say I felt good about the shoot despite the low score. Was a little disappointed though, as it fell far from what I've been doing during training just because I fell sick somewhere during the night - fever, headache, body aches, sore throat. I had no strength to steady the gun, everything was so blurry and I just wanted to sleep. My shots were either too low or too high, big strength issue. Kept cursing under my breath when I saw how many shots I had left. Fell back on something I learned from running - let the adrenaline kick in and sustain it for just a period long enough to do what I need to do before the body falls into a hyper state of vulnerability. Anyway, my last 6 shots saved the day and allowed me to hit a 350+ score (10, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10). This is the first competition that I can honestly say that I had no competition stress.

As predicted, in the afternoon my fever, headache and body aches became full-blown, and my nose started leaking. Every movement was like a blow to my head. The headache was crazy. I slept the whole day and night away. I hate being sick. Build up my health and fitness and fall sick, then build it up again and fall sick again. This is taking a whole lot of effort.

Anyway, it's Monday morning now, and I'm almost fully recovered (say "Yay!"). That's why I can blog.

Walk-of-the-Day

Went for a walk at Labrador Park with a couple of FST folks!

Concert-of-the-Day

Attended Big Grace's concert this evening - Soiree 2012! Enjoyed the harmonica concert thoroughly. The opera singer was great! Bravo!

Song-of-the-Day

Thank You

How about getting off of these antibiotics

How about stopping eating when I'm filled up

How about them transparent dangling carrots

How about that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India

Thank you terror

Thank you disillusionment

Thank you frailty

Thank you consequence

Thank you thank you silence

How about me not blaming you for everything

How about me enjoying the moment for once

How about how good it feels to finally forgive you

How about grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India

Thank you terror

Thank you disillusionment

Thank you frailty

Thank you consequence

Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was

The moment I got more than I could handle

The moment I jumped off of it was

Was the moment I touched down

How about no longer being masochistic

How about remembering your divinity

How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out

How about not equating death with stopping

Thank you India

Thank you providence

Thank you disillusionment

Thank you nothingness

Thank you clarity

Thank you thank you silence.

Hmm-of-the-Day

Went to Home Team NS this afternoon. It's been a while!

Shoes-of-the-Day

Asics Gel-Kinetic 4

This is the most costly pair of running shoes I've ever owned (S$309), but it's a gift so cost to me is $0. The only thing is that I don't really do any real running anymore. They look and feel good though!

I've always wanted a pair of the Asics Gel-Kayano (top of the line running shoes during my running days), now they've got Kinetic which is supposedly even better!

Good motivation for running!!! Test run, test run!

What an apt song for this!

Wedding-of-the-Day

Went for a swim with pQ in the morning. First time we've gone swimming together!

Attended QH's wedding at Hotel Fort Canning. It was like a class gathering!

Fiesta-of-the-Day

Went back to Cedar for Cedar Fiesta 2012! I must say it was happening, really crowded and noisy of course (with that many Cedarians gathered in one place). 

Had dinner with pQ and Shamir at Sofra.

Song-of-the-Day

Disney movies are so... Disney. Heh.
