"letting go doesn't mean giving up. it means moving on. it is one of the hardest things a person can do. starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. we feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. but as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. we are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. it means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so."

today's training was quite xiong. no running cos of rain but we did 3 sets of jumping jacks - 100 counts of 4 for each set. i was like totally wet after that. cos only me and lilin were there so we did gym in pair. we did power lor. so when the girls came they did endurance and since we've started, we just sticked on to the same thing lor. yea cos we started earlier so we finished earlier. and we were putting back weights when daren asked me to try and do biceps with 5kg or 7.5kg weights. i was like orh. haha. then me and lilin were kind of stuck there. he demo-ed to me how to do it properly and i did 4 sets of 12. damn straining. he also told me as a keeper, which parts should be trained well. - mainly biceps, shoulders..the whole arms and chests. yep. then i did another exercise - a 3-part exercise that trains my biceps and forearms. the second part was super straining. im supposed to lift the bar from 90 deg to 180 deg. when its at 90 deg position, can die lar. yep. but he encouraged me alot throughout the whole exercise, esp the last part, cos that's when im very exhausted and felt like giving up most. i swear i felt like throwing the bar and weights on the floor. and he also kept asking me to go and drink water. wahaha then did upright. hmmm by then i was just 'dead'. no strength le. but was amazed that i could do it. thanks to lilin who helped me alot. hehe. she did most of the exercises with me. of course with desmond helping along as well. haha i can only say today's gym was very productive. my hands were shivering like siao lor. but i am just happy that at least the seniors care to guide us along. (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRIX!!!!!! what say you?
