Last Thursday was darling's surprise birthday party... and we all enjoyed a lot.. i surprised him with the greatest and ever first and last party that i will ever organise for him! haha... no more! anyway it was over great planning...
moving on to Friday night.. overnight marathon swim at NTU.. organised by NTU lifeguard corps... actually we felt that if the event was like the more the number of laps we swim, the more an organisation would donate.. but we paid 15 bucks and just swam... we felt it would be more worth to swim for the charity with the mindset that if we swim more, the money would be donated to the charity! but well it was fine...
anyway we had a great time... met up at NTU stadium at 7 plus and then headed to canteen 2 to eat... Alber just recovered from a stomach upset, Alvin has a torn meniscus on his left knee ... as for me, JD and Eddie, we just want to go there to have fun.. actually this is one of my first race where i did not pin any hopes on winning.... its more like a relaxation and fun and enjoyment.. to be having laughter and team work throughout the whole night.. 10pm to 7 am...
we started off at 10am... i swam 10 laps... and then JD took over for the next ten laps and then Eddie, Alvin and Alber... it was the same 10 laps sequence until we got bored of it.. i started to swim 18 laps.. then they swam 12 each.. but it was still boring.. time was passing off very slowly.. i was freezing! It was soooo cold! even with my long tights and jacket, i still felt cold. Can you imagine when we jumped into the water, its like jumping into ice ! haha.... however, the team spirit pulled each and everyone of us through.. we did not speed up, just slowly made my way to every lap...
some pictures before the race...my team!
and they were packing...
and then when we started the swim, i was taking some pictures of the swimming scene
and eddie swimming...
and some pictures of the lovely couple.. peishan came down to support us! thanks!!!
and while we were swimming.. peishan was going to go off to rest for her next day training... and so i insisted we must take photos!
and then JD was trying some action on EDDIE!
and then we finished the last 3 hours of the race by doing a rotation... every 100m swim we change people... and the last 1.5 hours, we did a swop every 200m.. and the last 20 mins i swam myself... to allow the guys to change up fast in case all the guy toilets were packed.. swam 24 laps.. think total swam around 130-150 laps! the guys each swam about 100-110 laps! good job guys! and then we went for our long awaited mac breakfast that Alber suggested!
