Another Round??

I'm due for another trip again!!

Okay, didn't plan to go back so soon but since i had to clear my leave, well wny not?!

Jacelyn will be joining me this time...Hahaha managed to convince her, let's just hope she won't regret it!

Counting down the days...only 3 more to go.

Take 2... Day 16/16

TRIP RECAP:

Learned to wrap hands another way.

Watched The Godfather I & II.

Watched Harry Potter 5!

Read Nora Roberts’ Birthright, James Patterson’s Jack and Jill.

Improved my technique on knees.

Watched Ratatouille!!

Bought another pair of army pants ;)

Read Jack Du Brul’s Vulcan’s Forge… A book from the school.

Watched Casino… You know that show which stars Sharon Stone and Robert Deniro. Not bad actually.

Bought more DVDs!

Kicking technique was better.

Finally learned how to get a nice tan.

Learned a few more pump tracks.

Got my voice back.

I sucked at sparring.

Take 2... Day 15/16

Going home tomorrow!

Training still sucked today. Think body’s pretty burnt out cos I couldn’t sustain my stamina, panted like hell after every combo and needed to rest every few seconds. Very frustrating.

Thank goodness it’s my last day tomorrow. Actually didn’t even feel like training today, let alone tomorrow. Like I mentioned before, two weeks is tops for me. Let’s hope I’ll be able to recover some strength by skipping pump today…

Take 2... Day 14/16

Tuesday, which means 2 days left.

Actually am already kinda looking forward to going home. Hmm I think 2 weeks is just the right length of time to train here. Not too long to get burnt and just long enough to see results.

Not sure if I’m falling sick or something but today I was totally out of fuel. Maybe I’m just tired from pump yesterday… I hope. Had to like break after every combo, every few seconds. More 6-min rounders, that certainly didn’t help things. Hah, think my stamina’s definitely improved with these killer rounds.

Take 2... Day 13/16

AHHH!! Overslept!!

Woke up at 7.05am. Usually I’d have finish like 20mins of warm-up by 7.15am. It was a mad dash to the treadmill and only did like 10mins of quick jogging. That’s hardly enough to get my muscles sufficiently warmed for training.

Went into the ring with eyes still half closed. Trained with Samang, heng ah… Not the best training but under the circumstances, it was alright.

I think it must be Monday blues or something. Somehow trainings on Mondays always seemed less productive or ‘smooth’. Sucks.

Take 2... Day 12/16

Som Tum and Beef Noodles at MBK


Sunday again!

This is my last Sunday here which means I gotta get all my shopping done. Usual dose of sun worshipping then it’s off to MBK!

Caught Ratatouille this time. It was really good! Bought more DVDs too hehe! Finally had the Som Tum I was craving for. So far, I still think the best one I’ve had is at MBK. Other places somehow just tasted a little too fishy for me. For beef noodles wise, MBK’s pretty good but I think the best one is still at the stall behind Asia Hotel.

Managed to buy another pair of army pants, another Doraemon top and some stuff for the rest. All in all, good shopping trip.

Take 2... Day 11/16

Saturday ahhh…

Training on Saturdays almost always feels less stressful. Probably because you know the next day is Sunday so you can go all out and not worry about holding back for tomorrow.

More 6-min rounds again. That’s seems to be the fav number these few days. I don’t have to repeat how tiring it can get but have been training with Boon Ma more and long rounds with him is not as bad. He doesn’t work so much on speed so I can mostly manage to catch my breath. Did more sparring today hehe. Sigh, keep getting hit… Am just lousy. Period.
