Short post today. I don't think I can manage to write a long one.

This morning I went over to Jade's place to train a bit. Well, not really train because I refused to do much. I think more like me being accustomed to the whole idea of training again.

So anyway, I went over in the morning. We did a couple of breathholds each, before heading for the hot tub, which has sort of become a ritual for us over time. Body's going all like, 'I'm cold, get me some heat, quick!' and the nearest source of that happens to be the hot tub, which sometimes can disappoint with the lack of heat.

After that, we went up to her place to change up. She gave me a really delicious Indian snack to eat, and a chocolate muffin that she made. Yummy. Nothing like tasty food after training to perk me up.

When she was in the bath, I happened to see a copy some magazine on her coffee table. What caught my eye was the huge freediver slapped on the front page. It was her bestie, Matt. Cool. Inside the magazine, there is a 5 page article about freediving and him. Nice one mate. Good way to attract sponsors.

When Jade came out of the bath, she showed my another magazine, this time it was about Will Winram freediving with tiger sharks. The photography was amazing, but I didn't get to read the article due to lack of time. I shall need to visit her house soon to read that article.

As usual, we chatted and chatted. Today Jade left me with on very important lesson that didn't mean much till recently. She said, don't live life with regrets. Don't miss your opportunity now, and in the future, look back and say that you could have done something about it.

For me, at this period of time, that statement is very deep. I hope I can live without regrets.

After we split, I headed to town to walk around. I hate crowds, so 1pm on a Thursday afternoon is a good way to avoid the masses. I walked around Takashimaya, and ended up in the sporting department. Somehow a poster of CressiSub products caught my eye, and I walked over to check it out.

In the corner of the sports department, there is this little outdoor-type shop. There's a section of it with snorkelling gear from Cressi. That means masks, snorkels and snorkelling fins. I found a really nice snorkel that I liked, and got it. It's $12, pretty sleek, and transparent. Matches my Ice fins!

I also saw that they had a Minima. While I was tempted to get the mask, I knew I shouldn't waste unecessary money on things I don't need. Afterall, I already have a Sphera and an Alien.

So I'm pretty happy with today. But paintball was cancelled because of the weather, so no game. Perhaps another time. We've been having so much trouble getting the troops together.. Lucky for us, Jane, who works for Red Dynasty, understood our plight and offered to refund us our deposit. How nice of her and the park! Thanks a lot!

I'm waiting on Jie to reply to the message I sent her. No paintball, but I was hoping to meet up with her for dinner.
