Ok, overdue post regarding Muay Thai training on Friday.
I went to Muay Thai training after 2 weeks of break(well not really, i was sick on both Fridays), expecting the normal training. Little did i know, i was in for a big surprise.
I reached the gym with Alvin kinda late. I expected the same amt of ppl, but not alot turned up. Only about 11 ppl, including us, showed. That was when i knew something was gonna be different. Why? Small class.
Well, anyway, i hoped for the best. The coach came in at about 4.30pm announced that today's training is gonna be physical training, meaning stamina training. I knew it was gonna be tough but i didn exactly know how tough , until 5 seconds later. 2 ROUNDS OF 5 MINUTES PADWORD. i was like OH SHIT. i could barely cope with the 2 rounds of normal 2 mins padwork.
And so, alvin went first and i held the pads for him. Holding the pads were painful tiring enough. But it was gonna get tougher. My turn came, and i tried my best at the start. I punched the pads with abt 70-80% of my energy, kicking and pushing. After 1 minute, i was dead tired. But i persevered. I held on till the first 5 minutes was up. I dont know how i held on, but i did. Thoughout the 5 minutes, all i ever thought about was : I wanna quit. It's a miracle i held on.
After that, i rested for awhile and did the second round. Now, after the second round, my arms and legs felt like jelly. It was just so tiring. During the last few seconds of the padwork, i gave my all at kicking with full power. IT FELT SO GOOD.
Throughout the training, i was thinking about giving up and quitting MT. But i know i'll regret it if i quit now. So, i'll hold on till im satisfied.
In a way, MT taught me alot more than NPCC. and im sure it will give me many more lessons abt perseverance and mental strength.

Have been feeling very sick since thursday night. High fever till now.
Thursday Night
39.8 °C. Couldnt sleep at all. I was sweating profusely. Forced to cover myself in 2 blankets, but felt hotter. If i didn cover myself in the blankets, felt dam cold. So i just had to endure the heat. Couldnt stand shivering due to the coldness.
Friday
So in the morning i went to the doctor. My fever subsided to abt 37.8°C. Doc' asked me if i wanted to test for h1n1, but i refused since i didnt have any flu. So he gave me my preciption and i ent home to rest. When i woke up, my fever rose up to 39.6°C again. Felt dam irritated. At medicine and slept again. Woke up at night and played comp. Felt better even though my fever didn go down. Maybe i was just used to it. Well anyway, mum forced me to eat and gave me barley water. According to her, its supposed to cool down my body. but it didn work... Well anyway, after awhile, i went to sleep again. Slept alot on this day.
Seriously feel horrible right now. But good news is my fever subsided to 37.8°C. Hopes it continue to go down.
