On the long ass flight home from Sydney to Singapore, struggling to think of ways to kill time after watching 2 movies and 4 30min episodes of Californication... Blogging seems like the thing to do.
So finally I'm done with all the Deliveroo work and earned myself a decent amount of money to enjoy a two and a half week's break. 4 days already flew past but it goes without saying, that 4 days in Sydney was a-ma-zing.
It's like LCG over again, seeing all the familiar faces... It can never go wrong. I was even sponsored to be flown over - a really big milestone for me. I was kinda injury-ridden before the trip but thankfully I healed in time. But hell did my body take a beating during that crazy weekend. Wrecked indeed.
Fun vibes and camaraderie aside, another big part of the trip was winning 3rd place for both speed run and freerun comp, and a Best Trick award to boast. This was remarkably a big achievement for me, judging for the fact that the level of athleticism of the competitors are all pretty damn high. My body was also not at the best of forms because of the lack of actual training, which added greatly to the surprise of my feat.
Personally, it was a good eye opener for me to know where I stand, and I am glad that despite not physically the fittest at the moment, my mental game is still strong. One step closer to being in Santorini?
Can't wait to start progressing again and make a proper AOM video - gonna work on my speed as well and training long competition-worthy runs. But of course all this while knowing my limits and always being clear that it's a personal challenge, not because I want the gold and glory.
Still about 2 hours till touch down, excited to know what my 2 weeks return to Singapore will have in store for me. All I know is, I'm definitely enjoying this break!
