original bootcamp malaysia: s04e01
It’s official — I hate assessment days. As Vanessa said, it feels like exams every month. Sure, you can psyche yourself up that you are going to take it easy this time, you are doing it at your own pace and it’s okay if your time doesn’t improve. Load of crock. The pressure is still ginormous. You are a train-wreck the evening before thinking about the coming assessment. You try to sleep early but it is nearly impossible because your head’s filled with all sorts of thoughts and possible scenarios for the next morning. Unlike back in school, you can’t pull all-nighters preparing for the exam because you actually need sufficient rest for this one. When you finally manage to doze off, the alarm clock rings too soon.
Then it’s back to the usual “Why did I sign up for this…” train of thoughts.
First round: 1.2km run + 45 push ups on knees + 30 grunts + 45 sit ups. Last month I clocked in at 13m 44s. This morning I did it in 12m 18s.
Second round: 1.6km run. Last month was 14m 58s, this morning was 12m 37s.
Not bad eh?
It’s shite, I tell you. Pressure sial. Next month I’d be worrying about times again. I’d tell myself that it’s okay if the times deteriorate. But as with every assessment, you get duly crushed when your times do not improve. Then you feel bad and emo a bit.
It’s okay lah. I have one whole month to be my own psychiatrist.

Hi suanie, i have been reading ur blog and u seem to be doing great at the bootcamp despite the “whining”, lol. Looking great too. I am too chicken to join the trials of the bootcamp. What if I can’t keep up? So shy le.
Go LT go go go! You can do it! Suanie you’re doing great. We love you! *Pom poms*

KY: ok this time i don’t think i can improve next month. it’s okay it’s not the end of the world
eanmei: thanks! glad you are back
LT: haha the whining helps to destress
it’s okay if you can’t keep up. i know it sounds unachievable now, but you WILL eventually keep up, do better even! you’d be surprised. i’ve never exercised before in my life until 3 months ago. everyone starts off the same one, don’t worry too much!
AT: this LT not our sister, hehe. thanks
