AMAZING DISCOVERY ON (elaine's) ANIMAL PLANET
woke up at 5.45am to go for swimming training with the triathlon squad this morning. It was soooooo cold on my way there i was chattering and shivering! Anyway, i swam in Wille's lane which is just absurd. they're too fast. The mileage is quite little! they did 4km and i did 3.5km today. haven't swam in almost 3 weeks so was just trying to stay afloat! haha. But still, i kinda think it's too little actually, although it was hard during the main set. It was enjoyable though, the general atmosphere was very relax and fun, people chatting amongst each other and with the coach. Also, the coach doesn't shout out timings. We look at the timer on the wall and start on our own. well, i felt fresh and happy after the session. headed home for some breakfast. boy was i hungry!
i fell asleep while doing some reading. DID YOU KNOW, THAT HUMANS GO INTO HIBERNATION TOO? When the weather is too cold, like over here, humans slip unconsciously into winter hibernation. Hence we have to beware of the evil evil activities which distract us from wakefulness (such as reading our textbooks), and hypnotise us subtly into long deep slumber. WARNING: hibernating animals (including humans) are very difficult to awaken. Which was why I had to use all my mental power to drag myself outta bed for lecture at 11am. Even when awakened from hibernation, they require at least an hour to reach a state of alertness. This explains why i was so blur i brought the Professional Writing subject reader for Psychology lecture.
After school i went to Smith Street with Melvin. Apparantly there are many sports brands' factory outlets there. It took us almost half an hr to get there. Over here, I walk everywhere, even if it is 40mins away. coz taking the tram just doesn't seem economical. Smith Street, like most of the other streets here, gives this deserted, old empty feeling. Empty cars parked along the roads..empty shophouses..alleys with garages spray painted with graffitti...There's a wide mix of shops around, from butchers to Australian local designers' stores to furniture shops, chemists, coffee joints and pubs all next to each other.
First stop was this huge shop which sold mainly basic cotton clothes. I bought a cotton trackpants, a long sleeve top and a 3/4 tights for training. The girls here wear trackpants, the cotton kind, and those zip up sweaters to the track then they wear a long sleeve top and a t-shirt outside, with tights to run. looks v old sch. haha. Now, all i need is a cotton hoodie and i'm aussie!! hahaha. yea but that's just practical. when i wear my dri-fit tee and running shorts to run, it's really pretty cold. so yea. heh.
We saw this custom crumpler shop!!! It's really cool. you can customise your own crumpler there. you can design on the cover and bring to the shop where they will sew it up for you. or you can pick from some of their designs. they were sewing the bags right there in the shop! cool!!! some of the designs are really elaborate and nice!!! oh man...you can only do this in New York and Melb! cool!
Further down the street were all the factory outlets!! Adidas, Nike, Converse, Brooks, etc etc. We were late so many of the shops were closing alr =( Anyway i picked up 2 pairs of socks from Nike. $4 a pair only. haha. actually the stuff are not that cheap, only selected items. Well but it was fun anyway. I'm on the lookout for a zip up hoodie. heh. i need a winter jacket too.
Yup, got back then i went for a 30min jog in town. Suddenly i heard someone call out my name. my oh my...Jasmine Tan! My sec 1&2 classmate! haha unbelievable, what a small world! haha apparantly she heard i was here from some other girl from our batch whom i only know by name. cool.
as usual, cooked fusilli beef bolognese for dinner. cooked extra for tmr's lunch and dinner as well. I also made sandwiches in the fridge already; stocking up on food for hibernation. oh yes, everyday i have pineapples &/or mini mandrin oranges &/or kiwi. they are soooo yummy. i shall have to stock my fridge full of fruits!!
