A New Motivation

Recently, i'd been rather busy with work, which ended yesterday. So happy to have finished my schedule for the month, but i guess all of it would be going to my new found sport.

I had not been working out my body for the past 6 months due to injury + laziness. But for the past week, i tried going for a run, doing my statics and swimming, before realising my fitness has dropped by leaps and bounds. haha... Guess that the result of probably a lack of motivation.

I have been trying to look for a motivation other than having a good body, so as to convince myself to work out regularly, but probably couldn't really found any. That is until i went to This new found sport that makes me really wanna have a better body, due to the exposure of upperbody. OH!!! Don't get me wrong. I went to my first wakboarding at punggol marina country club today.

I took an hour bus ride to punggol, realised i had missed the shutter bus, tried hailing a cab, before realing that punggol is a place for those loners. There are no cab in sight! Perhaps less than 5 cars on the road per min, passing by me. Thats not even saying that booking a cab will have to make me to wait for 20 mins!!! OMG!!! there's such a worse ever place in singapore without good amentities. No wonder my colleagues have been saying that punggol isn't good. lol..

So, after 25 mins of waiting, i finally get into a cab, while cancelling the booking i had made with the other cab company. After reaching, i realise something. I forgot to copy down the person in charge's Tel no, and the name as well... so okie.. i walk around trying to figure out where they are. but there's no way i can do that as everyone looks young and sporty. haha.. so i hang around til someone asked me if i'm from SIM.

So onto the boat i went with this other gal from SIM. We travelled to Seletar Island before she starts her stunts and wakeboarding stuffs. She seems so pro, perhaps i being a first timer. i hope to do what she did on my first day but i cannot even stand up on the wake board, managing to squart at least. Hmmm, that already very good for a guy to do on the first lesson as what they had said.

2 years ago, a friend of mine from SIM went for this session too and she said it was really fun. But the ongoing daily diving, drinking seawater turned me off upon thinking of another watersports game again. But todays session proved me wrong and i enjoyed it, thou injuring my middle fingle while trying to hold on to the rope, hitting the board as i fell flat onto the water. haha.. That makes me think of how she enjoyed it 2 years ago. haha..

Gonna go for another session next week even thou my exams are coming on 25th this month. My expenses are going to go up too. $60 - $80 per session. Hmm... but thats prob another motivation that will bring me back to the old sporty me, while regaining my fitness. Guys and girls, if u have a chance, do give this a try!

Charm: Human only live once a lifetime, young once a lifetime. Be adventurous! Enjoy the extremes!
