My Sports Science teacher told us that (the quote above) when we were all groaning and moaning after putting us through the most rigorous workout and physical test. The last time I subjected myself to such physical torture was when we were training for Nationals.

My twisted theory on why runners run almost every other day is because if you don't, you're gonna feel the aches and pains from the runs. Like how I'm feeling right now. But if you continue running, everyday your body is in this continuous process of healing and you don't feel much. Mayhaps a slight twinge and then your body conditions itself to think the aches are normal and hence you're able to push yourself further and further.

Most times we can't help it but people try to make life difficult and it's just terribly annoying and troublesome even though you know that it's done in your best interest. But put a rather stubborn, disgruntled and tired Yin after a long day into the mix and you'll realize it's just chaos and a lot of arguments. Simply put I had a rather nasty argument with my mother because of some things and she's pulling angry guilt trip on me. My fault my fault and I should just give in but sometimes parents really know how to rattle your chain and push your buttons.

Sometime a year ago, today, the publishing house was busy prepping for the Swatch FIVB Women's Beach Volleyball World Tour. Press conferences, trips to Sentosa to see a stadium slowly built to house 5,000 people and the gorgeous and bodilicious beach volleyballers and occasionally their male counterparts swarming the stretch of Silos Beach. I miss those moments, even more because it symbolized a rather interesting though tremulous time in my life. I wish I had caught those moments on my camera. But being in on the action, behind-the-scenes, was awesome enough. I was really fortunate to be working with a neat and decent bunch.

Yeah I miss them.

Friday night and it'll be Blu Jaz Cafe with the UniMates (as ♥Trex enjoys a pricey dinner). I miss that lot even more.
