Near Blackout
I was grasping for air during aerobics class just now.
I had difficulty breathing and had bouts of blackouts on and off, during the class. I had to paced down half way through the class and didn't complain the entire routine. I thought I was going to collapse.
It must be the potatoe chips I had eaten at the office couple of hours before. I was feeling really hungry, and thining that I would need the extra energy for my class (lame excuse, I know), I tore open a packet of Jack & Jills and shared it with my colleague.
It must be the chips.
The carbohydrates were not completely digested before I started the routine. Somehow, somewhat, energy was not consumed properly, and by doing the vigourous exercises, I might have upset the digestion process.
No more junk food for me before exercise. It's no junk food or no food at all.
This day forth.

I heard over the radio this morning that one of our local swimmers broke World Record (WHAT? You mean you haven't heard of it yet?) .

Congratulations to Theresa Goh!
Then just now on tv, there was a trailer of a show featuring people who made it against all odds, and this person is on the same national team as the record holder.
Flashes of thoughts come to my mind. I ask myself why do we do well in the paralympics but not the olympics?
Strings of thoughts later, I came to a conclusion.
This event displays the true trait of Singaporeans. When we are fine and dandy, we tend to slack more. Taking for granted everything is there for us, and will be there for us forever, and that there is no need to strive.
However, when we are down and out (metaphorically speaking), we Singaporeans have sufficient will power and determination to rise above the waters (no puns intended) to push ourselves to be the best that we can be in any situation.
Just a general thought, not meant to be applicable for all Singaporeans.

On another note, the trip to Nanjing has been shelved. I was the only one who responded to the call when the organiser asked for confirmation.
Oh well. Someday.

On another-another note, I have got my motorola phone back for like a month already. Just too busy to post about it. Friend who works in the company helped me to get it fixed. So far, it has not given me any problem. Hopefully, there will not be any problems.
Ok, time to sleep. Good night.
