Hello!

Wanna sell off my HTC Touch Dual. Got it, tried using it, didn’t like it… I guess I still prefer my phones being more conventional and less hi tech! And have a separate organiser altogether! Got it for $800+. It’s a totally brand new Singtel set but without a receipt. Even the stickers on the phone is not peeled off…

I was gonna post it at $500 (neg) but to save time I will let it go at $450 nett.

Any takers?

Interested parties please email me at jessica.tan.com@gmail.com or leave me a comment here. 🙂

XOXO
Jess

Hello everyone!!!

I’m proud to say that I’ve successfully completed the Mini Triathlon without stopping in any of the events. And I’m so happy that my efforts to improve my swimming abilities paid off! I used to be able to swim 50m at a go then rest, then continue on to another lap. But now, I can swim 10 laps non stop! Which made swimming 200m in the sea very do-able. That was actually my biggest obstacle to overcome during the triathlon and once that was over I  said “phew!” One thing I must say is that triathlons can be very addictive, cos immediately after finishing it, I’m so tempted to do it again next year! It pushes you to be very apt in every event and U can’t slack in either sport during the training process. Hence, an all rounder and it gives you a lot of motivation to keep your physical condition optimally fit.

I used to be one of the fastest cross country runners back in VJC, coming in 17th position during our annual school cross country run. In the OSIT Mini, I came in 44th with a total timing of 48min to complete 200m swim, 10km cycle and 2km run, and that made me very happy! Though I’m not as fit as I was in JC, but at least I know I still can do it and I’m sure if anyone regardless of age puts their mind to it, they can complete this mini tri too! I strongly encourage everyone out there to try this at least once in your life as you’ll feel a great sense of achievement and rejuvenation after you complete it! 🙂

Check out the photos from the event!

Hihi!!!!

It’s been some time since I’ve updated my blog but that because I’ve really concentrating on getting myself physically fit to participate in the OSIM Mini Triathlon tomorrow morning!

What worries me is my swimming as I’ve never been a regular swimmer. Ever since I learnt how to swim when I was a little girl, I never actively practiced it. So finishing 1 50m lap is an achievement for me and after that I’ve to take a long rest before continuing on! But now, I can swim 8-10laps at one go without stopping and I’m really proud of myself! Starting out was really difficult and I feared I can’t complete the 200m in the sea tomorrow morning. Now I’m slightly more confident but still anxious about it as I’ve no swimming in the sea experience. Let’s hope everything goes well!

Wish me luck! I’m actually looking forward to completing my very first Triathlon and I heard it can get pretty addictive!! 😉

XOXO
Jessica

Found time to meet up with my University classmates and catch up on each others lives. And guess what? Huixian brought Leeann along! I was ecstatic!  It’s been months since I last saw cute lil Leeann… and my… she has grown! She’s really reactive to her surroundings now so she very fun to play with! Check her out! *wink*

I know… she looks a lil “blur”. *keke*

She’s getting a lot heavier! Weighing in at 7.2kg! (heavier than a sack of rice! *phew*)

Cute lil gal with cute lil booties!

Mummy dearest!

One big happy family… 😀

Attended the OSIT clinic with Geping-ge and Huifang-jie to learn more about what I need to do and prepare for a Triathlon as it is my very 1st time in one. It was very interesting as the pros taught us how to arrange what we need nicely and efficiently so that on the actual day itself where there will be a mad rush of pple pushing their way, you won’t get caught off guard. (e.g. roll socks nicely and place one on each shoe for easy wearing – I never thought of that!)

Check out the photos to see the practice runs we did to simulate race day!

Geping-ge is also doing the mini triathlon together with his family! So fun and sweet! Huifang-jie is joining him for the 2km run and their son is swimming in the sea with him!!! What a great way to spend family time!

Listening to the instructor on points to note.

Trial run! *adrenalin rush*
