Angels and Demons

So. I got jio-ed to watch Angels and Demons by Gracia and Yi Shin yesterday.

I must say it wasn't half bad, and the fact that the whole Vatican was reconstructed in a studio was very impressive.

Story wise, I didn't feel wowed, probably because I have read the story before. There wasn't much space for the actors to act, I felt. It was quite stifling because of the pace of the movie. You couldn't feel the deviousness of the Camerlengo or the wisdom of Robert Langdon. Very stiff.

Not very controversial either, probably because again, I've read the book before, and it seemed worse then.

3 stars!

Oh, the Makan Place near Great World is a different story though. I had a Prata Bomb with Cheese and it was absolutely fabulous. The Bandung was a little too sweet, but much better than most I've had. Wahhh

Pity I had to spend so much though.. Save save save!

Training Week #5

Signs that you are experiencing burnout:

• Perpetual tiredness, even when you have just woken up from bed


• Lack of motivation to exercise


• Increased irritability

Looks like this is the record low on the amount of exercise done since the beginning of my regime. The fact that NYKRT stopped their water training does not help =/ I need new motivation!

Well, at least I lost weight. Hahas.

Activities:
13/5 Wednesday - 50 lap Swim @ Delta (2.5km)

Stats:
Height: 1.8 m
Weight: 83.0 kg
BMI: 25.6 kgm-2

Training Week #4

Okay, so I didn't really exercise at all this last week. Pfft.

AND I GAINED A KAYGEE! FREAK.

Activities:
9/5 Saturday - Dragonboat
4/5 Friday - Gym (Abs & Shoulders) + 3km run

Stats:
Height: 1.8 m
Weight: 84.0 kg
BMI: 25.9 kgm-2

Unmotivated.

For two consecutive days, I have scheduled some kind of exercise but failed. That does not bode well for my training.. I am starting to feel my belly growing bigger. Urghs. =(

On a completely different note, I dreamt that I was in a swimming pool and I swam one whole breadth of the pool in one stroke and one breath after someone asked me something. Hm.

Inertia.

I have come to realise through personal experience that the less you do something, the more you irk doing it.

Take for example the slight hiatus from exercise last week. I figured I would bounce right back into running, gymming and swimming, but I had a really hard time convincing myself that I needed the exercise last night. All I wanted to do was to get more income from le Pad in Restaurant City and catch more mice with my brand new Ambush Trap. I was supposed to be running for 30 minutes. Right now, I am thinking of how dreadful it would feel to swim 50 laps later =/ Yet I know I would probably feel better once I get into the pool =D

The same principle applys for my Bible reading. Once upon a time, I was reading every day on the MRT. Right now, I'd much rather dig my head into Laughing Proudly Throughout the Pugilistic World to find out how Linghu Chong escapes the next death trap. Do I need to mention piano practice to prove my point?

The panacea, of course, is sheer discipline. Get back into doing whatever you were doing. Will yourself to get your butt off that chair and start tying your shoelaces. Perhaps all I need is to quit my job.. Hahas.
