Another Interesting Weekend

Wow....Interesting weekend I had. As usual, Saturday was shopping the whole day at vivocity with my wife. We had a wonderful dinner in 'Dian Xiao Er'.

Sunday was the turning point of a interesting end. It is very rare of my wife to ask me out for breakfast on Sunday. After debating what to have for breakfast, we decided to have it at Bedok Interchange foodcentre.

After breakfast, I have to sent her back home while I continued my way for my open sea swim at Changi Ferry Terminal. Arrived at almost 11 am for the swim. By the time coach deployed the bouy, it was really 11.25pm.

During that time, we (classmate) chatted and shared our pass experience in open water swim. I declared to them that I am not a open water fellow but came here to build up my courage and makes the numbers....Hahaha..

At the starting point, we have to swim out 50m in the open sea to simulate the Fina swim start in the water. This will also avoid fishing lines further down the shore. Coach said, 'Everyone at least 1 lap.' Eh......I can't ever spot the bouy so how far is that floating bouy??? No body knows.

Starting to paddle. I did not worried or panic. Metalilty was just swim loh. Going towards the bouy was simple. Coming back was like 'How far am I away from teh shoreline.' Because, I only take my breath to the left side...So have to stop many times to check my position. I do want to swim until tekong. Hahaha.....

Completed my first lap. Helen 'chio' me for the second lap. Surprisingly, this little 'Iron-woman' (She completed her aviva ironman) told me to sight her as she is frighten of the sea. Huh....I shouted, "You ok or not, I never even do any open water competition swim, you tell me to guard you?' You ok, or not???

Anyway, I am also alittle 'gain' to go for another loop. All in all 2 loops. While chit-chatting in the middle of the open sea with coach, someone told us that the distance is about 460m for 1 loop. Huh.....I finished 2 loops, that is almost 1.8km. In my heart, I asked myself sure or not.

Coach asked me to sign up for the 3km FINA swim on 4 October, if not, I will have to pay him today fees (in a joking manner lah). Till today, I am still very unsure.

Swimming session ended almost 1pm. Rushed home to bath, dress up, quick lunch and I am out of the house at 1.30pm. (Transition, T1) Drove to wisma Aria for my photography lesson by organised by Sony. Class started at 2pm. Vincent (my best pal) already reserved a table for me. Thanks buddy.

The lesson was very interesting and useful. Julian w. shared certain tips and experiences in photography skills. By the end of the lesson, we kind of, fall in love with our DSLR camera.

Vincent 'chio' me for the masters class for photography, I have greed to. We have a short chit-chat session at 'food junction' before I send him off to Ang Mo kio to meet up with his wife, Yi Tian.

Reach home at 6.10pm, my wife was waiting for me to go for a run. Another transition to running attire and started to hammer the road for another 7km. (chop-chop one). I enjoyed running with my wifey. She is a fast runner now....Good keep up the good pace.

Hoping that my next weekend will be another interesting one.
