The start of a new year...

Been super busy the past one month that had no time to update my blog. Time just flew by with me batting my eyes but it has been fun all the while.

Christmas and New Year's was celebrated with wonderful friends. Callie came down to Singapore for a week and we had a great time out and about in Singapore. Made some new friends (nice to meet you, Nick and Timmy) and reconnected with some ole ones. Gained some close friends and finally went to church - something which I've been wanting to do fo a loooong time (thanks Pris).

Went wakeboarding the second time on the 3rd and can finally stand up longer as well as move better on the board.. hehe.. managed to hold on a while with singlehanded-ly too.. .Can't wait to wakeboard again.

Next, did the banana relay on the 17th, which was a 3.5km x 2 lap run in Pasir Ris Park. Trick is, that you're teamed up with 2 other runners, and best of all, the batons were ---- BANANAS!! First lap- one banana, Second lap - two bananas... hahah.. really felt like an ape.. My teammates were tofuman and Loon (team 15) and boy, was tofuman fast. In between laps, we were given some some IQ and general knowledge quizzes to be completed... haha... imagine doing a sudoku after sprinting.. it was hard...real hard....

My project at work finally took off this mth... and I was super busy at work too.. emails keep flying by in, and some problems had no quick resolutions (even till now). It was fun to see sth come to live, but it was tiring to keep coming up with solutions to every little thing that pops up... phew...

okies.... next up was training.. bumped up my training for the IM to 18-20 hrs/wk. Finally managed to swim up to 5km front crawl continuous to cover the swim portion. Gonna be busy from 22nd onwards with other events, so wanted to squeeze in as much as possible.. was like a zombie at work everyday..

On to WWkayaking next.. but that will be in the next post...
