og outing and tidal waves

apple pie is..aalriite, i guess. hav tasted better pies in my life, though. sis made more cookies yest wen madan was out. at least this time they looked like cookies. the type u can buy at a shop. and better tasting, but still have room for improvement.

yest OG outing to east coast park. after a looong looooong time. at least half a yr. quite boring though, as usual. spent a lot of time just meeting up. at the mrt. also had to walk from bus stop to park quite long. and walk and walk and walk. met more ppl on the way to the mac's place. by the time we reached there, was time for 1 to go home. and for us to hav dinner. and to think we wanted to cycle or play pool b4 tt. dinner was at some jap restaurant. food so ex tt pretty much every1 just ordered the same thing. the cheapest on the menu. but i think wasn't worth it. din even feel as full as he wud hav if madan had eaten at the mac's just across from there. after dinner, walked summore, to parkway parade. play pool. pretty cheap. each of us a dollar oni. reached home almost 10.30. ate a 2nd dinner.

oh ya, yest there was this underwater earthquake near Aceh,Sumatra,Indonesia. watching SunTV(Indian Tamil channel) news while eating lunch. they showed their morning broadcast of the news(the earthquake was in the morn) during this broadcast. the newscaster was reading the news, wen suddenly the the camera started shaking! then he stopped reading, shocked, was like "eh, the building's shaking! the building's shaking, yar!". he looked quite comical. it was during the live news broadcast summore. wat a fool he made of himself. yea, tt was the funny part. but i dun think tt many ppl wud hav been laughing. Ma called later in the middle of OG outing. "where are you now? dun go near the beach! just go somewhere else! walking only? walk at some shopping centre!" took quite long to convince her there were quite a lot of ppl at east coast, we weren't on the beach and anyway the waves were quite short. S'pore is such a sheltered place. all the land mass surrounding the sea tt surrounds us. it's quite safe lorh.
but sis called later telling madan all the details from CNA and SunTV. a lot of ppl affected, dead,injured,lost homes,lost families. Maldives, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. the whole ring around the Indian Ocean. said Ma cried. haiz..wat to do, u dun hav control over this sorta thing. gotta get on with life.

training today, ran with R again. easy for madan and fartlek for her. this time mr Q said try to match her strides. but run with her, show her how to lift up knees and extend stridelength for the same stride. her stride frequency was fast for madan. as in, he can run at tt freq, but usually tt wud mean his speed much faster. tt's not his freq for fartlek. more like a 200-400m race. he doesn't sprint for farlek. but tried to keep tt freq but not the speed, anyway. tt meant cutting down his stridelength so he doesn't cover as much ground. tt's so ironic. R's trying extend stridelength, while here is madan, cutting his down to match her's. took a while to master tt stride. din really see the splits today. think shood be the same as last wk. but R's getting better. think her legs are gg higher now, but can't really see from where he's running. she's learning fast. one day, she's gonna whack madan in 400m, wat with her long legs and high freq. ookayy..think i'm starting to talk rubbish. dun even understand myself how long legs and freq go together. nvm.
exercises did same as the others, just a bit less of everything.
