Niece's birthday weekend

I had a very enjoyable weekend celebrating my niece's birthday at Marina Mirage, Gold Coast. Breakfast was beyond the dreams of gluttony. Pictured are my sister-in-law, brother, son and mother (and some bloke in a pink shirt - SO last season).

Running around the Brisbane River

Although I haven't been training as compulsively as usual, I have been running around the Brisbane River once or twice a week. Last weekend I joined a group of friends at 5:30 AM at Sounthbank (picture) and we ran along the river to New Farm and back. I estimate that I ran about 29 km and felt pretty good throughout - bode's well for the Brisbane Marathon on 30 April.

I have been training.....

I have been training, but not intensively and have felt a little unmotivated lately. One reason is that the weather has turned cool (well cool for Brisbane) and the thought of a cold pool is very off-putting. I'm thinking of wearing a wetsuit at swimming training this winter. My triathlon coach says that he'd prefer us to come to swimming in a wetsuit, rather than not come at all.

What does this mean?

So what does this tattoo mean? I had it done in Chinatown in Singapore in 2001. I know what I asked for, but I'd like to hear what a chinese speaker interprets it to mean. My polite colleagues at the National University of Singapore used to ask me why I chose THAT symbol!
