The first week/ Commonwealth
Its the first week of training and its starting off with all the easy sets. You know the normal stuff lots of drills and technique based workouts just to get back into shape. Nothing much has been happening after I came back, more of like trying to get back to reality if that's the only thing that has been going through my mind. School's starting and its a brand new 12 weeks of mad ass training coming up so I'm kinda excited and on the other hand, apprehensive. Not knowing what the outcome will be like. But as they always say "Its not the destination but the journey that counts." So I'll try and keep that in mind whenever I feel like I'm going to falter. Alright, that's that.
Commonwealth Games was fantastic. It was so much fun! Even though we didn't have a TV (yup, that's right. NO TV) , we found other sources of entertainment, Bridge, Taiti, just plain walking around the village enjoying the scenery. the place was huge! though jos and gary said the one at Athen's was even bigger. the dining hall was jiga-ginormous!!! there were lots of variety and best of all, it was open 24hrs! Bryan and I looked at each other when we heard that.. yeahhhh we had our share of ice cream, cookies, mini strawberry-filled-sugar doughnuts (my favourite), FREE-FLOW of drinks! there was a mini cafe, hot chocolate machine (no more sleepless nights!), 4 huge refridgerators of Gatorade, water, lemonade, pepsi, marinda orange and a juice bar. Oh not to mention they had a spanking good salad bar, mind you the veggies were awesome and i'm not much of a veggie guy.
Then there was my favourite one. The pizza stall. mama-mia! Hawaiian! Meat-lover! Funghi! Rabbit-food(vegetarian-bleughh) best of all there were dessert pizzas! my favourite one was the Banana wth chocolate and custard. then i add the butterscotch sauce over it.. it was orgasmicc.. bloody good. AND to top it off. I DIDN'T EVEN GAIN A SINGLE POUND.
We went to just chill at this bar in town. Transit. but we call it the turning-T cos there was this huge T on the top that kept turning. nice place. Downed a couple of beers plus a whole lot of shots. by the end of it, I was jolly high. Like way way way high.. haha, but all in good fun. so screw it.
Ahh The Commonwealth. It'll be one of the meets that i'll remember for life..
