i am a little sore from the fact that i will not be getting an extra off day for the run - but that's the way life is - if you dont meet the mark, you wont be given the stated incentive. it's like the monetary reward for an olympics medal really. no medal, no money. even if you have entered the semi finals. haha so be it, i had thought it was a sure-get incentive, but perhaps this is a little reminder to always factor in the worse and not be overconfident. well it is over, that's good, and it should be my last long distance run in a while. kinda disappointed by the organisation of the whole thing - muddy grounds, lack of proper bag deposit or 'bag-leaving' area, and the horrible horrible engineers avenue where most people started to die. it was quite bad really and the 'quality project by singapore combat engineers' tag was misleading and embarrassing, given the engineers singlet i was wearing. but maybe its just me and i am looking for an excuse to explain my poor running form. indulge me. it wasnt that bad a run at the start, actually i was enjoying myself in the first half of the run, but my legs just cramped up after that. another reminder to stretch well before running. still there's that lil tinge of sense of achievement for having completed my 2nd half marathon. never mind it was a worse timing. haha. yes low fitness standards i know.

so lee bee wah is in the news again, she seems so eager to make the news every day, with her powers, her actions, her words. and she has recently sacked that anthony manager which is ridiculous really, at this time. never mind she hasnt credited the coaches or the manager or the behind the scenes people, she shouldnt be making light of their contributions and sacking them as the table tennis fraternity is celebrating! i mean in the first place, she is new to her job, she should spend more time learning about them and the culture before doing things like that. 2ndly it seems a little unilateral if you ask me. didnt know a table tennis president has such huge powers. 3rdly, why is she doing this in the middle of the olympics! they have just finished their competition, give them a break and stop showing your bosses you are uber on the ball, going to beijing to work and not to enjoy and hence they have spent well on the ticket they have bought for you. and lastly her reason of "wanting to let her new team choose a new management" is utter bullocks. by the same extension, if a new principal is appointed by the board, he should come in to a school with all the staff fired so he gets to choose the new people he is working with. oh those staff fired can reapply if they are keen.

yet i am not in the sporting fraternity, so what do i know and who am i to say anything.

have to book in at 6 later. which absolutely absolutely sucks. and i am very sore from all the running.
