The week on a whole

Was sick, so missed Singapore Biathlon. The week on a whole was crappy. The flu refused to go away, so i was forced to take and extended break from training. Which irritated me to no end, coz i kept thinking all the hard work the past couple of months has effectively gone down the drain. Sighz...
Had my first agency meeting this week. Tues i think. Wasn't too bad. In fact i was rather looking forward to it. Which was funny coz i've never thought i would miss agency meetings. But it was good coz we've finally sat down and talked, i've finally found out who my new colleagues are. 4 of us in the team so far. And i'm the only Chinese. The rest are Indians. I'm sure this is God's way of teaching me to be tolerant of other races =P
I've also sorted out my clothes cupboard, went IKEA and bought some stuff to organize the cupboard, all my clothes fit nicely now and there is no longer a mess from the previous 'too-small' cupboard.
Bought my cleats and cycling shoes. Went for a cycle the other day. Was damn worried i would fall down, but didn't. Thank goodness. Went for a long ride this morning as well. Eh, my long ride is like 30km. From home, to bukit batok swimming pool, up bukit batok, to jalan jurong kechil, to dunearn road, to leonie road, to thomson road, to mandai, pass the zoo, pass by hillview before turning into bukit batok road again, and home. The roads were clear, as compared to the other day when i rode in the evening. Anyway, i woke up at 3.45am, left my place at 4.20am, and reached home by 7 am. Need to speed up, i just pray hard that cycling is like swimming and running. Mileage, mileage, mileage!
Was supposed to close a case this week. Last minute, the guy backed out! So i'm a couple of cases short for last month. Coz this guy was supposed to get 3 policies. One endowment, one insurance and his CPF investment. Sigh. Need to watch this roll over effect. If this keeps on, i'm going to have a huge shortfall towards the end of the year again.
Went for Tanjong Beach swim this morning. As usual, company was great! But, i suppose when company is good, you tend to spend more time talking then training and that is how i feel training went today! Every lap we did, we took almost a 10min break, coz people were chatting.. Sighz... Finished 6 laps, with lots of rest in between!
Nothing much left for this week i suppose.
Doing a charity swim next Fri evening to Sat morning! 10pm to 7am. To raise funds for the Singapore Children's Society. Team of 5 person to take turns to swim continuously! Should be fun i guess and still be able to play my part for charity.
Another wedding to attend next week!
