Indeed, time flies. Can't believe it's already the end of the week.

Today marks my fifth day at work. Since day one, work has been pleasurable, meaningful and of course interesting. Who knew that travelling from home all the way till here would allow me to experience such? Before my internship started, I was still wondering if the work would be boring and like what others told me – cheap labour. My answer would be 'definitely NOT'. I don't even feel like I'm treated meanly or being used extensively. People here are so friendly and have this very outgoing personality which never fails to make me feel happy being here, alright; sometimes I think I'm an introvert though, but still, people here are damn nice to me! J

Okay, so, I reported to work and till now, I've got nothing much to do, so here I am typing words, phrases and sentences away. Not saying that I'm bored or something (cause I realized if I do say I'm bored, something will happen and I'll be busy from then on). I've gotten rather lazy about blogging, and the only reason why I'm blogging now is because I found this cool way that I can use without the need to open my dashboard. Okay, the method may not be new and I may be slow at this but
I don't care! I find it cool alright. Basically, I'm using Microsoft Word 2007 to do this thing I'm doing right now. I don't know if it's the 2007 edition or the 2010 edition but it has this function of allowing me to link my blogging account to Microsoft words and from there (HERE!!!!), I can blog without the need to visit my dashboard. COOL OR WHAT? J Okay, not only that I don't have to go to my dashboard all the time to do the blogging, this version of Microsoft words allows me to type things that belong to the blogging lingo or slang. I SWEAR, IT'S PRETTY DAMN COOL! JJJ

OKAAY, I may not be the first or the fastest to find out this very interesting method that I just shared but I still think it's pretty the coolest thing I've found out this week.

While I'm sitting here typing things away, my teammates are there at MacRitchie paddling their asses off. I'm envying them at the very momentL. Do you know how much I want to train right now, right at this very current moment? I so so so so so so so so want to train right now. POL- ITE 2011, is just right round the corner, as I am interning away, other paddlers from other schools are paddling and getting bulkier at the same time. It's my final year, my last stretch. Although I'll still continue paddling and training for other competitions that I'll be going down on my very own, POL- ITE is different, it isn't just another canoe competition, it's a competition that holds a lot of meaning and a lot of memories. I want to make this last stretch count, I want to win real frigging badly.

So I've came up with a contingency plan for myself since I can't frigging train with the rest. I am going to run from my home to novena and gym at home EVERY SINGLE DAY (for the run). Really hope the aerobic part would allow me to keep my form just there. I mean, the thing that everyone loses once they stop training is not the muscular definition or strength (cause they can stay rather long), but the cardiovascular fitness. It is something that we take hours to train each session and take weeks and months to improve but it takes only a few weeks to see the decrement of it. #lifeofanintern.

Shall work hard on my part, shall continue fighting for what I want to get. To me, there is no point in worrying about all the 'what- ifs' for this competition because if I'm able to get myself ready for the challenge, I will be able to make it through.

I may not be the strongest or the biggest size when I align at the starting line,
but I've got a pretty damn strong mental and you'll have to beat that. J
