and it is the yearly routine again!
first time trying the new IPPT system, and thank goodness i got GOLD. my initial plan was to do 44 sit ups and 44 push ups and run 10 min 50 s to get gold. first station was push ups, and i did 39. so i know i have to do alot of sit ups in order to get back the points. thank goodness i did the 53rd sit up at the last second and so i got 24 points. if i did 52 i would have got 23 points only.
2.4 km was disappointing also. i thought i could run 10 min 30 s because i did 10 min 22 s on tuesday. 10 min 40 s is 42 points and 10 min 41 s is 41 points. to get gold you must achieve a min of 85 points. imagine if i did not do the 53rd sit up i would have gotten silver instead of gold. #nightmare
but still i am thankful and happy to get gold! it is 500 dollars! this gold is definitely more achievable than the 5 station system. i always screw up at pull ups and always miss by a few seconds for 2.4 km.
in the afternoon i went back to school for show choir practise. it was my vice president's bday and i bought a cake for him to celebrate his birthday. so everyone was having vocal warm ups and then i appeared with the birthday cake. deniece (the vocals instructor) who was on the piano immediately change the song to birthday song and everyone started singing happy birthday. he was on the verge of tearing. after the song i asked him to say a few words. and he said:"being in show choir is the greatest gift i ever received." omg so touched everybody was like AWWWWWWW.
and then i went to madame patisserie at turf city grandstand for dinner! the cakes and the food were super good!
rainbow cake! best rainbow cake i ever tasted so far!
matcha roll
lobster roll. still not as nice as the one we had at boston quincy market.
from top left hand corner in clockwise manner:
blue berry pancakes with scrambled eggs and caramelised bananas; peanut butter curry shrimp pizza (sounds weird but taste very nice); lobster roll; aglio olio
thank you darling for the treat~ (she got a very good performance bonus hee hee hee)
