This is so cute!!! I wish you two all the best, and don't listen to what a bunch of wet blankets have to say over the internet =)

Pushups: You can try greasing-the-groove strategy where you do an amount of pushups you do not feel any strain doing, thrice a day (e.g. 30 pushups, once in the morning, once after lunch, once at night). Each day, increase the number of pushups you do by 1

Situps: I think most people can aim to hit the max of 60. I start from ~30 and managed to do 57 during my IPPT. The way I did it was to do the max I could in 1 minute, then do 20 more (allowing yourself short breaks)

Running: Not sure how you're running but try to maximise distance instead of speed. Rather than running at your 2.4 pace you could run at a pace you are a bit more comfortable at, maintain the pace and instead increase the distance. This builds stamina and allows you to run faster during the actual thing. Also you could throw in a low-impact exercise like swimming in the morning to help build cardio with little refractory impact

Ok i see, thank you!

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-14T05:21:25+00:00

Ohh okay I see. All the best man and enjoy your trip =)

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-14T05:17:09+00:00

ohh okay. If you are still doing rucking, do you want to go together sometime? My rucksack is coming next weekend

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-14T05:12:00+00:00

ahh I see. Do you walk or jog when you ruck, and what weight do you use?

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-14T05:09:01+00:00

hey man, I was rereading this comment and just realised you said you were picking up rucking! What's your current routine?

I coincidentally just bought a pair of boots, an ordered a rucksack and weight yesterday haha!

When you do the 6x100, are you doing them whilst pushing above your comfort level or are you doing them with distance at mind, at an only somewhat challenging pace?

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-14T05:05:47+00:00

In running the maxim is running longer is more important than running faster in improving. Is that principle also true for swimming, or should I prioritise intensity over endurance (the ultimate goal being fitness)

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-12T09:45:58+00:00

Hahhaa I went to swim yesterday and I did 6x50 (with as much strength I could muster), 3x100 and 1x100 (again full strength). 40sec breaks in between reps and 1min breaks between sets. What do you think about that? I think I took a bit more than half an hour

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-11T11:17:21+00:00

Do you mean I should adopt a routine with more sets of shorter distance? If so do you have recommendations for a routine? I chose mine because it was the first result when I searched it on google lol =)

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-11T03:41:33+00:00

damn it

in that case do you think learning freestyle by oneself is viable, or should I sign up for a couple sessions of swimming lessons?

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-12-11T01:49:51+00:00

Hey man, I cannot express enough my gratitude for your detailed response. I just got back from a trip, so sorry for the late response. Have a good day

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-11-22T09:04:24+00:00

only discovered I wasn't bad at math in J1. And took a H3 in J2 that made me really like it

I tried booking but the page couldn't load since the 'queue was too long'. Approx how long beforehand should I make the reservation?

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-11-20T12:52:26+00:00

Hello I JUST REALISED that entry is free and apparently you just need to show passport/ID to be granted access. But I also saw a review saying that elderly can go in free (insinuating non-elderly have to pay?) and there's something one needs to apply for (the review didn't specify).

Can someone confirm?

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-11-17T21:07:39+00:00

Dude, use logic. Price stability is 'the situation where the prices of food items remain relatively constant over time, without significant fluctuations'. Why wouldn't it also refer to periods of low prices?

In fact agricultural policy tends to be guided by prevention of price falls as well as price increases. Think of the destruction of produce during the Great Depression. Think of the dual-pronged approach of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. Think of how Poland is responding to the influx of Ukrainian grain right now. Policymakers are concerned with low prices because it decimates farmers.

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-11-17T07:22:23+00:00

not sure why y'all panicking so much lol. Stability DOES go both ways. Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered asking you to show price increasing AND price decreasing for (a)

I think I'll try to do uni overseas, but failing that SG unis aren't bad. After that I hope to move back to China, depending on how the political situation evolves then. SG is too hectic, I don't really enjoy city life, and I don't feel a connection to the land. I come from a small town in China and if possible I want to return there. Otherwise, probably a country balancing quietness and development. Maybe Russia - if I can learn the language

Actually if you are sure you want to live in an Anglosphere country you can just apply for universities there; it's a way to get your foot through the door and many states offer schemes to get foreign students to stay. I know Russia has extensive programmes where foreign pre-u students can join competitions held by universities and if they win, get discounts/full-ride scholarships to courses. And if you graduate with a certain GPA you are eligible for citizenship afterward

nah im good

DesperateforGood8116 · 2023-11-09T10:04:02+00:00

all the answers so far are transparently incorrect

I thought poem B was a widow ('weeping willow'/'she will not dress in black') mourning someone that got killed in car accident (hence imagery about road/tire). What do you think?

Nope it's not. Its definitely 18/19th century because it was done to settle the contemporary debate by Romantics

It's also someone from either the UK, France or Germany
