That was how close I was to winning. Or tying at least. Zero point fucking one. After all those training sessions. The intense heat, the pain, the never-ending outlet of sweat got me a silver medal. First days are always the hardest.
Two years difference, a thousand kilometers distance and a different taste in a lot of things. It was never going to work out. In addition, I wasn't even ready for a relationship, let alone a long distance one. At least the last three days made for a painless ending only it takes a little while for the scratch marks to fade.

so. I'm in Korea. Not bad huh? Not bad my arse. It's only been a day and we've been swearing sweating our heads off. It's really humid. Like, it's cloudy, it rains every now and then but there's always that...that, umm, what's the word, it's not exactly suffocating but like...i dunno, if you find out, tell me but it's just that ___something___ heat. The food here's pretty awesome. Just a buffet for every meal of the day. We had sausages, bacon, bread and heaps more for breakfast and for lunch we had rice with some pork and veggies i think? and dinner was the best: marinated beef and kimchi with rice and some spinach. To help it down, there was an unlimited supply of icy cold water.
Since I'm not the kind of Asian who takes a photo of all the food he sees, you won't be seeing any pictures. Just use your imagination~
With this kind of heat, I'm pretty sure that everyone has to drink at least 6 litres of water a day to keep hydrated. By everyone, I just mean the people involved in the Championships.
So yeah, that's the update. For now anyway.
Dude this place is massive.

I find it a little weird that the first thing I do after actually getting a life is hop right back to tumblogging and wasting my life all over again. Not surprising though.
FINALLY something to blog about. I'll have to admit that Susan's party wasn't bad but definitely and interesting one. From half raw lamb and licking people's noses, it was pretty, well, yeah, interesting. We went down to the local park to play hide 'n' go seek. Now this was at around 6:00 at night so it was pretty dark. Everyone was paired up with someone drawn out of a container. I got matched up with Maro who happened to have brought this cap gun that he bought for $5. Every pair got linked up by a pair of cardboard chains which didn't exactly provide us with much "connectivity". Our chain pretty much snapped right when we got on the grass so we went our own ways.
After about 10 minutes pretty much everyone was back at the shelter except for two pairs: Anny/Tony and Eileen/Andrea. Tristan, Charlie and I ended up looking for Eileen/Andrea while Jesse and Maxine went looking for Anny/Tony. As it turns out, Anny and Tony were already back at the shelter for a while but Eileen/Andrea were missing for a while. Tristan gave up but eventually, Eileen and Andrea showed themselves and me 'n' Charlie kinda, half chased them around until they walked up to the shelter.
This was...a bit...long. I think I'll just...i dunno stop there.
tl;dr the party was pretty interesting.
Breakfast with a view of the crystal clear sea and the golden beaches while eating perfectly baked croissants with the perfect cup of coffee. Perfect.
That was this morning. We were staying at a resort. More on that later~ I'm gonna, like, sleep now.
