What a day?

Finish the meeting on Life Sciences for the year! Good feel of the new things to come...Hope the students would love it this year....
Finish meeting our youth leaders; quite dissapointed with the seniors for not taking proactive steps in arranging the meet ups with the new juniours.
Waiting for instructions always..oh well they are youths after all...
Allowed them to finalise their committees and empower them to firm up on the needs of each event...well if only all my seniors stayed back...counted less than 30% were there...oh well- we make do with what we have....
Did my training for the strongman prelims; did easy squat cleans with 60 kg to feel in the quick twitch.
Finally got in my 220k deadlifts for 3 easy singles; did my 140 k front squats for 3 easy singles; did everthing under 55 mins...felt good...charged..training so far ok....
well looking forward to tomorrow night; starting back on weightlifting at SWF (Singapore Weightlifting Federation); lucky my knees and lower back are recovered fully...
Hope the coach will not kill me tomorrow night...:)
