The Wannabe Economist

This time i did it even better. Just 1 hr 36 minutes (unofficial time), which is wayyyyyyyyyy better than expected.

Never train for running this year (i maintain a training blog), just swam a few times altogether, and i managed to pull it off.

I’m happy.

I ran hard. I’m proud that i did that. But this comes at the expense of swollen knees. And having to bring them around Waikiki afterwards.

Ouch….

I should lose some weight.

But i’m saving that goal for after i catch up on sleep. It’s my 37th hours since i woke up the night after Bailamos en los calle. I think i napped only once, during lunch at the beach.

Got to get changed. Going out for dinner. Mrs Chongky’s sec sch friends.

It’s not a secret that i’m a sucker for sports inspirational movie.

And weirdly i tend to like American football movie the most. I’m not entirely sure this is contributed by my first such movie that moved me to tears (and if you know where i can get this dvd here, let me know, really appreciate that), or is it the physciality that attracts me.

And in case that you’re wondering, i do like rugby and Australian Rule Football as well.

Staying on topic, frankly i do care about how much the movie differs from the true story that it is based on. I would say compared to other so-called adaptions, i would think that Invincible is relatively closer to the real-life account of Vince Papale. That’s my opinion, seriously. Don’t bash me up for that. I deduced that from reading Wikipedia. Go read and make your comparison, or figure that out from other sources.

Hardwork, talent, character - recipe for a sportsman.

Sad to say, i don’t have all of these. I suck at sports, but i do love sports.

I even have a Greenbay Packers‘ no. 56 jersey Nick Barnett’s alternative away jersey (hey mind you it’s not a fake) that Mrs Chongky forbids me to wear. I’m not sure if the issue was the size, though it’s already a S. But i’m happy enough to take it out sometimes and walk around in the house in it.

Damn the adrenaline rush throughout the evening. And the good movie didn’t quite help either. 1 hour 10 minutes away from waking up time, 3 hours 40 minutes before the start of my wave at Singapore Biathlon 08, 5 hours 40 minutes from the start of games at Waikiki 08. I haven’t got my sleep…

LOL.
