sweet

He brought me warm ginger/lemon/honey water in bed this morning and tucked the duvet closely around me. Exactly what a girl with a cold needs. He is sweet. (And strong like bull! :)) I like.

halt

God damn it. My training has come to a quick halt. I'm sick. Which rimes very badly with being about to have a fight in 18 days... Sitting in my sofa and feeling crap, very annoyed and stressed. Go away stupid cold and headache, quickly or I'll punch you! Hard.

getting closer

The fight is getting closer. And all I can do is train. So that is what I do.

visiting parents

With the parents in town there are less time than usual over for reflection and blogging. Having a great time though!

Yesterday we celebrated my mum's birthday with a visit to China. Went shopping first and then we got pampered in a spa for hours. Lovely.

We have also spent some time on the beach and the girls won over the boys in our board game tournament (of course!!).

hilarious

There are different kinds of mistakes you can do if you are drunk.
Sending a picture of your private parts to your mother is probably one that you do not want to do.
I know someone who did. Hilarious!!

lots of people

I am going to fight in a 600 seater coliseum on the historic Padang in Singapore! The reality just hit me. That sure is a lot of people!! Scary!

But it should be an amazingly exciting night of boxing when the White Collar warriors of Singapore and Hong Kong meet for the inaugural WWCBA Asia Cup.

risky event

I just signed a paper where one of the clauses states the following:

I am aware that my participation in the event involves certain amount of risks. I shall therefore not hold.... responsible for any injury or loss of life which may be sustained by me during the training or event or arising from any cause in connection with the event....

Apparently an event where you hit people in the face is not the most un-risky event to participate in... However, the real mystery is: if I lose my life, how would I be able to hold anyone responsible then anyway?! I'm dead aren't I?!
But, if I were lose my life I would most certainly be floating around on a cloud in the sky with a glass of champagne in my hand. And if you're busy drinking champagne on a cloud, life's not too bad anyway! Even if you are drinking champagne with cotton wool up my nose to stop a bleeding (because if I die from a punch I would really hope that it would have given me my first proper nose bleed!) life's not too bad... And just think of the bonus I'd get once the bleeding had stopped and I'd be able to remove the cotton wool from my nose and breathe in the fresh air I suppose they have in heaven instead of HK's polluted air...

Anyway, I better stop there and assure you, (mum, dad, sister, boyfriend and friends), that I am n o t planning on dying. I am planning on kicking my opponent's ass, standing in the ring with my arms in the air screaming 'the winner takes it all, the loser standing small' and sending that bitch home crying! ;)
So please do not worry!
