The most beautiful day this year.

The sun, blue blue blue skies, perfect temperature, little cars on the roads, beautiful girls on the beach. What more could a man want?

The weather today is brilliant. The skies were blue-er than any bottle of blue paint I have. And the sound of my tyres buzzing on the road could be heard as there were little vehicles on the roads.

Met Bertram at King Albert Park MacDonald's at 2pm. Stopped and realized my Speedo read 6.66km. The first sign of the Beast.

We then had a nice slow ride down to Lynten's shop. Was crowded and met many people there! Most importantly, Caine! My yoyo battle brother! We had tried to plan rides for so long. But could never get it to work. Unplanned and we had a hardcore perfect ride.

We decided to ride to east coast park. And use the newly built bike track all the way to Changi Village for Nasi Lemak. This is the first time in my riding life I ever rode to Changi Village.

I rode a total of 90+km today. Yeah....

I need more days like this.

Downtown

First Mid year paper today. English. Hope the kids had fun.
Met up with some of the old boys for a chill cum rot session in town at night. And among the group of us we discovered that 3 of us were rocking the same label! Thats 3 pairs of Nudies. And more than $1000 worth of denim right there.

Brilliant song.

It's not often I hear a good new song nowadays. Let alone a POP SONG. But this one blew me away the very first time my eardrum came in contact with it. This stuff is gold.

How I wish I was stronger and fitter......

Will I ever be fit enough to do one? I know I need to get one in at least once in my life..... Arghh!!! Hate it why am I so fat!


The swim is based along Singapore's coast in warm, usually calm inshore waters. It is an ocean swim in saltwater, and commences with a number of waves starts from the beach. Singapore waters are warm, hence wetsuits will not be required. Visibility is about 1.5 meters. The course will take swimmers on a one lap rectangular course over 1.9kms in total as mapped.
The bike course is 98% fast and flat and the Aviva Ironman 70.3 Singapore bike leg promises a memorable and unique city course, not found in most races. Whilst fast, it will feature one technical aspect in each lap that needs to be remembered.
The run itself will take competitors along the shoreline of Marina Centre, the city park that overlooks the towering skyscrapers of the Central Business District. It has stunning panoramic views of the city skyline. The park has many shelters and benches and it is an excellent place for spectators to cheer on their favourite athletes!

Swim – 1.9kms
Bike – 90.1kms
Run - 21.1kms

Hate it!!

25. More than just a number now.

I have 25. It's all there is. I have alot to say about it. But I just got home from a very frustrating ride in the rain. I hate rain. And I'm tired. It's another long day in school tomorrow because of speech day. I'll talk about 25 when speech day is over.
