I've finished goong. Yay!

Had Vm training today. My first time doing VM. 40 stories HDBs at Toa Payoh were crazy. It was raining, it was cool, I just had my breakfast which was super oily, my knee was injured, I felt like puking and I didn't get enough sleep.

And there I was, standing at the void deck of a 40 stories HDB, preparing to take the stairs all the way up. I suppose that's the whole point of a VM.

2nd runner. The first 10 stories were easy. I though to myself, hey, this is easy!

By the 20th story my knees were burning. Literally. By the time I hit the summit at 40 story, my knees were burnt and I honestly felt like puking. Curse the stairway for being so narrow, it was like running round and round a pole. I clocked an average 6 mins 17 seconds.

Not enough. 2nd set. Die lahh.

Roy overtook me at the 9th story. I'm like, ROY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?(He clocked less than 6 mins for all 3 sets.)

2nd set was okay. My knees were still burning, but I didn't feel like vomiting anymore. Timing increased by slightly over a minute.

Just chiong the last set. Clocked 6 mins 53 seconds. VM's kinda fun.

I just blew all the money in my wallet (and a bit from Mong's wallet) to buy my first guitar. I have no past experiences with music, notes, whatever. I don't know how to read musical notes. I can't even play the recorder. My idea of music is picking up my earphones, sticking them into my ears and pressing the button on my iPod that looks like a triangular sign, occasionally using my thumb and circling the circle thing on my iPod. That's music to me.

Aye, I need to learn how to play a guitar.
