• I've been pretty cranky.  Reason is probably due to overtraining.  Legs are totally solid, either because I didn't stretch after yesterday's ride or I've been limping around (which I didn't realize).  Wounds don't really hurt the whole day, but I realize that my hip which has been feeling uncomfortable, has turned into a huge blob of black and blue.  And I mean HUGE.  I try to massage it and by now it's even blacker, bigger, badder.

  
  

  Removed the bandages just now.  Had a bit of problems as the gauze is stuck to the wound but pulling it slowly got it out.  Alcohol didn't hurt as much as I thought, so I applied more.  The worst part were the hair; getting the plasters out of the hairy parts took at least five times longer than getting the gauze out of the wound, and just about that much as painful.

  
  

  I wonder how women wax.

  
  

  Met up with Pat for dinner and getting a pair of aero wheels for stand-by.  I prob won't be using them till next year but the offer was too good to refuse.  Might not be able to get it again so just stock up in the meantime.

  
  

  As such, one of my other wheels will most likely have to go, and it's most likely the Bontrager too.  I will miss it.  I'm still wondering why my Bontrager feels lighter than the Ksyriums.  It's pretty amazing.  I will most likely use the Bontrager for my last race this year, at NTU Oct 26, while KL Tri and Powerman, I will stick to the Ksyriums (unless I get the HED wheels ready in time).

  
  

  Okay, at the risk of being accused of being too cycling orientated (and the increasing number of readers), shall include more details about my own life.  Talked to my ex yesterday.  Had a short conversation (I'm not good at talking over the phone) but found out she's still at Paya Lebar Airbase, albeit changed to a Quality Assurance Officer, and she has been going to this church at Wesley Methodist, for about six months already, following her boyfriend, whom she met in SDU.  Oookay.  Maybe I should be more active in SDU also. :p  Haha, no way!

  
  

  Today I took a lift from one of the sales manager and conversation revolved around BGR too.  Her comments struck some interesting points into my head, especially regarding the younger girls, who apparently according to her are most expensive and not worth the while.  My other colleague in the car who has been after this girl for the longest time, though we know it's not really going to happen... well, we talked about it after he was dropped off too.  She too shed some light which I had not noticed before.  It's interesting.  I must make it a point to talk to her again, to find out more about "things".
