Hope everything will be smooth tonight.. =) Even how bad the weather is going to be.. Nothing is gonna stop me from completing.. erm.. except thunder and lightning.. =P

How Far Is 84KM..???

:: The route tt i've to overcome twice ::

1) 84km = 2 x Full Marathon(42km)
2) 84km = 4 x Half Marathon(21km)
3) 84km = 84000m
4) 84km = Approx. 168000 Steps (2 steps per 1m)
5) 84km = Twice the length of PIE
6) 84km = Twice the distance from Pasir Ris MRT to Jurong MRT
7) 84km = 1/4 of the Distance form Singapore to KL
8) 84km = 1hr for a Car tt travels @ 84km/hr
9) 84km = 210 rounds around a standard 400m Track
10) 84km = Approx. 15hr non-stop walking


Looking at the distance above is indeed terrifying.. I've nv thought that i'm ready to do a double marathon in a single day until now.. 2 More days.. everything seem so real at this moment.. it's getting closer and closer and closer...... 310 runners for the 1st night ultra race in Singapore.. If i'm able to complete it, guess i'll be part of this history.. hopefully.. i can make it.. yes i can.. believing in myself is the 1st step towards every successful race.. i dun dream of making big money.. money can't buy what i want.. they can only satisfy my needs but not wants!!.. i only dream of BIG races or rather events cos i dun race with others.... the only person that i compete with... is me... myself...!~

============================================

Ended my exam ytd.. it was sucks.. as expected.. the Qs were not straight forward.. Can pass but can't score.. but i dun care.. it's over.. must enjoy my well deserved break with more and more 'tri-ing' activities... Hmm.. I Wanna Swim, I Wanna Bike, I Wanna Run, I Wanna Eat Buffet and Sleep, I Wanna ICE-Skate, I Wanna Mj.. Come come win my $$.. i'm a noob..!! And yes Watch Euro 08..!! Shall earn my holiday allowance by visiting Sgpool.. wahaha...!~ Jk..!~ hmm gonna to trim my messy bushes tmr.. it's getting irritating.. how i wish my hair will nv grow... =)

6 days to becoming an Ultra 'Man'...

Collected my Sundown Race Pack at Millenia Walk on Fri evening... The event singlet looks cool but is a little small.. not quite the same sizing compared to the usual Adidas singlet.. hmm.. but it's ok.. Exactly 6days from now at this time 10pm++, i guess i would be somewhere along ECP... I can't wait any longer.. I've been imagine and visualising myself running along the route and crossing the finishing line.. I guess it will be a wonderful experience.. 6 more days b4 i'm officially become an 'Ultra' Man..!! Hopefully.. haha... Can't really focus on anything else other than the race itself.. 84km Ultra Marathon.. here i come!!! i'm gonna beat the distance..! and Yes.. I WILL..!!!

:: 0052 ::

:: $1 dollar Energy Sport Beans for my ultra ::

:: The Tight Fitting Singlet ::

:: One of the Overhead Bridge Along PCN ::

Hmm.. I think i've a problem pronouncing 蛋 and 饭. When i bought chicken rice ytd, i ask for 加饭 but the aunty ask me is 加蛋 or 加饭.. Argh!! haha.. this was not the first time.. think i encounter it arn 5 times le.. While queueing up, i even reminded myself to make sure that i pronoun it properly.. i remembered i pronoun it correctly but the aunty.. hmm.. guess it her problem.. not mine.. hehe.. 蛋 and 饭 sound so different.. but still.. HmMmm..

Anyway ytd went for Ping's 21 bday celebration.. the foods were nice.. met up with some of the track mates after not seeing them for like almost 1 mth due to exam.. was told by Marco tt there will be a road race between the four uni... really looking forward to it.. will train hard for it after Sundown.. though i know it will be an uphill task to overcome the other 3 uni.. but i really hope i can earn something for the sch.. and i must agree that i need miracle to do that.. sigH..!~ but wait.. with hardwork i believe miracle do happen.. =)

Exam has been gd so far.. All papers were manageable even though they don't seem like the usual types of Qs that they had set in the past.. Some of friends were complaining abt the calculation Qs for CF.. and it turned out to be unpredictable type of Qs.. which require us to think abit b4 we actually pen down our ans.. Luckily i have focus more on the theory type of Qs because i realised the calculation Qs has been getting tougher and indirect.. Phew.!!~ Anyway CF = Corporate Finance.. but one of my friend says that CF = Confirm Fail.. wahah.. it's funny to me.. in a way.. lolz!! PBF was alright.. had expected the unexpected.. and it was so unexpected that the chapters tt i really focus on didn't come out.. and i was just relying on my memory to crap my way through the paper.. and i think i crap kinda well.. haha.. only the grades will tell.. pray hard..!~~ 1 more paper on wed.. =)

Watched the fund raising show put up for the Sichuan earthquake disaster. I must say that Singaporean have been very generous in various ways.. Total donation exceeded $6million.. But the sad thing was.. We as donors who made donations still need to be charged $0.214 as admin charges + GST for every donation call tt we made.. This is crap.. when we are charged, there will be someone who is going to pocket it.. and i assumed that the tele company is the one who earn it.. this don't make any sense to me.. they earn profit every year.. and how would these small charges affect them.. i would rather donate the $0.214 to Sichuan rather than letting them to profit it.. disappointed..!~ Even Singpost waive the postage fee for cheque donations.. SiGH!

Three Doors Down - Be Like That

Random Run...

These few days have been watching local news and Ch50.. it's been a week since the deadly quake had struck Sichuan and the hope of finding miracle survivors is fading as the time passes by.. Dead toll have reached beyond 34 000 and the officials are expecting it to surge pass 50 000.. more than 4 millions of people are either left homeless or injured.. These may be just a figure to some of you... but to most of us.. these figures were made up of different individuals and each of them came from different families with their dreams and high hopes shattered within 3 mins.. i think President Hu and Premier Wen are currently doing a fantastic job in handling the disaster.. if you have been watching news, you would have realised that they have been visiting different sites and use very powerful and touching words to motive the solders and console the victims... i think the Chinese will definitely feel proud to have such strong leaders.. there were several scenes i watched on the news which were very touching..

1st - there was this man who was trapped under a concrete wall for 3days 3 nights.. after he was found by the rescue teams, he told the reporter that no matter what he would not give up and continue to fight on to live.. he doesn't wan to let anyone down by giving up.. but after tt, it was reported that this guy died on his way to the hospital..

2nd - There was a boy whose both of his lower arms were amputated by the doctors.. his friend was crying when she told the reporter that this boy pleaded the doctor not to remove his hand as he still wants to go to sch and use his hands for writing.. he even begs the doctor to save at least one of his hand for him.. words can't describe how i feel at the time when i watched that girl saying such thing.. you have to watch it to feel it.. Haiz...

============================================

Did my LSd on Sunday.. Last min decided to run from my house to Ecp and i did.. ahaha.. left my house at 8pm.. Ran to Bedok Res and followed the PCN.. was lost in the middle of Bedok Res Road.. guess i've missed the sign board.. haha.. after running without actually knowing where am i for abt ten mins, i was back on the PCN.. haha.. seriously i really think that i've a very gd sense of direction or navigating skill.. =X ok.. while i was lost in Bedok Res Road, i ran pass this KFC and saw policemen cordon off the area.. it seem s like a crime scene as there were this little numbers cards place on the ground.. and as usual Singaporean flocked arn and kpoing what was happening.. ahah.. ok.. back to my running.. hmm.. Ran pass Kembangan station and head all the way to ECP.. saw lots of nice big big Terraces and bungalows.. Wow..!! i'm not feeling envious or jealous but i was just thinking that they must be very rich to stay in such houses.. anyway HDB also not that bad.. haha..ok after that i ran to Fort Road.. and it took me almost 2 hrs.. i was super late.. and i was quite hungry and thirsty too.. so i took the same route back to Kembangan and took a short break at 7-11.. hmm... after that took a shorter route back to Bedok Res.. and guess wat? haha i saw my bus coming and i ran to the bus stop and took the bus.. haha... it's was arn 11.30pm and my mum called.. so i guess the fastest way is to board the bus.. Total time taken 3hr 15mins hmm.. approx 28km.. =)

Not a way to start......

A Bad paper.. had my 1st paper today.. before the paper i was telling my friends tt i was feeling very nervous.. i don't know y.. the last time i had this kind of feeling was way back when i took my O lvl.. i just have this kind of bad feeling today mins before the exam.. and it felt suckS..

1st hr was ok.. everything went smoothly even though i couldn't balance my b/s i straight away jumped to next Q.. after which i felt a little "urgent".. was looking arn.. and the toilets at either end were too far.. could not afford to waste any time.. moreover i was stuck right in the middle.. either way would be equally far.. after another 30mins, i felt that my bladder is going to burst.. yes!! the cold environment squeezed my bladder so badly tt i couldn't even concentrate.. after which everything was screwed up.. and it proved to be disastrous.!! misread the Qs, spending too much time on 5marks Qs(which i must admit that they were tough)... and everything went awfully wrong.. i skipped a 20marks Qs cos i was thinking too much..mind wasn't cleared.. and yes.. my small "water bag" definitely affected my decision!! now i think back abt the Q.. it wasn't difficult at all.. just that they phrase it differently as compared to past yr exam.. Argh!! cos i'm not sure wat the Qs was asking.. so i decided to do the 5marks Qs instead.. and those Qs seem to worth more than 5marks.. in the end.. i lost 25marks.. all thanks to inefficient of time management, wrong strategy + decision and ofcos my super duper weak "container"... ARGH!!!!!!!!! Overall it's a tricky but passable paper i guess and i hope.. but for those who r totally new to this subject would probably be praying tt they won't fail.. i must admit.. it wasn't an easy paper... =(

Despite keep telling my friends not to leave any Qs empty, i myself left out 25marks blank..!! However, i'm still quite confident tt i'm able to pass this paper.. but who would only aim for a pass? At this level, it's all abt getting gd grades.. although i dun aim for super high scores (cos i only set out realistic target).. but i still hope to attain an acceptable grade.. a pass is definitely below my expectation.. Now i'm still blaming myself for not going to the toilet during today exam!!! waha.. sounds lame.. ok should be regret instead of blaming.. hahaha.. anyway if only the exam was held in sch, i believed i would have completed this paper.. alright no point dwelling... shall look forward to the next paper.. will shift my run to sunday.. cos tmr i'm not in the mood for running.. i'm in the mood for revision!! yes..!! time to wake up... no room for mistakes and regret.. i would rather spend 24hrs on revison and failed in an exam than failing it without putting in any effort..

After today experience, i have learned 2 MAJOR lessons..
No 1. NV Hold ur bladder during a paper.. it will affect u greatly!! (tested and proven by me)
No 2. DO Not drink any water 3hrs b4 ur paper..

Hmm.. went airport and had my dinner.. after that walked arn T3 trying to find where is Popeyes.. but couldn't find it.. hmm.. this is strange.. is T3 really tt big? erm.. yes it's really big!! or maybe Popeyes is too small.. wahaha..

金莎 - 不可思议

No title...

Last Wk was cyclone.. and now a 7.8 Earthquake has struck Sichuan... It's was so powerful that tremors can be felt all the way in Taipei... and part of US has just tore by tornadoes.. Why are all these happening.. sigh.. If only I'm Captain PLanet(my fav hero).. i really wish tt i could do something..

Last Sat morning woke up at 7am and met ZhenWei at ECP for our LSD.. Weilun afraid tt it might rain so he didn't join us.. anyway it was only a slight drizzling.. and that made our run so enjoyable.. Met him at ECP Mac.. we ran from one end of ECP to the other.. guess we covered abt 21km in almost 2hrs.. Our pace was much faster than what we intend to do during sundown.. haiz.. anyway.. think i will be heading down to ECP again on this and following sat.. somehow i fell in love with tt place.. guess i'm really for sundown.. i really hope so... today i just did a 22km++ run.. from Pasir Ris to Bedok Res and back.. in the middle, Khai Yau and i took a short break for Bubble Tea.. wahaha.. for the past 8days.. i have clocked almost if not slightly more than 84km... i couldn't believe it also.. this was the highest mileage i've hit within 1wk+.. wahaha.. imagine i gonna cover tt dist within 14hrs.. Hmm...

Anyway.. I can't wait for exam to end.. Com'on!!! Show me the Paper and i'll do it straight away.. Fast fast come.. Fast fast GO!!..really tired from all the revision.. everyday repeating the same stuff... and dunno y there are always one or two things that will never get into my brain... Argh!!! Finally this fri.. 1st paper.. argh!! how i wish it is tmr.... Though i know i'll not get very high marks.. and also i dun really feel any pressure to attain really high scores.. so ya.. think i'm quite relax at the moment.. perhaps running do help.. =)

LAst Friday.. Received my 1st ICT Date..i was shocked..!! 17days for my 1st ICT... it will be from 13Nov to 29Nov.. guess i'm have no choice but to skip classes during that period... wanted to defer.. but afraid tt they may schedule it on another date which clashes with prelim or exam.. haiz.. now i'm still considering if i should apply for deferment.. the worst part is that i only have a friend in my NS unit.. the rest were posted to different unit.. wth..!

Oh ya.. kena Mob Manning at End of june.. Sibei sianz.. Argh!! For the Country!! Where's my field Pack!! SBO?? BootS!! Quick.. 7mins!! Fall in NOW!!! Let's Go for WAR!!! Chiong AR!!! lay Bridges.. Clear Minefield.. constructing Obstacles.. Ops order.. XX Steps Battle Procedure!! But seriously i miss those training.. sometimes..not ALWays!! =)

As the cold wind blows

In the early Morning March...

With my field pack on my Back..

With an aching in my Heart..

And my body full of Sweat..

I've a long long way from home..

And i miss my love ones so..

In the early Morning March..

As the Cold Wind blows (x4)..

I miss you so..

I know I know..

You have to go..

So hurry Back home..

I miss you so...........

A NEW PB..!!

Hmm.. quite happy today as i did a PB for 10km.. 43min55secs.. hmm.. i ran 5 times arn a loop of 2km near my area.. glad tt all the training in the past seem to be quite effective.. and based on google earth, the loop is slightly longer than 2km.. wahaha... ok.. ran 3 times this wk.. Monday did a slow LSD 21km from Pasir Ris to Bedok Res and back.. in between took a 20mins break and had a cup of bubble tea with khai yau.. ahha.. on Wed did a 10km wearing trainer.. time was slightly below 46mins..
hmm.. gonna meet up with Wei Lun and Zhen Wei on this Sat morning and do our LSD at ECP.. whaha.. exam is just arn the corner.. but i still keep running.. haha.. anyway i feel tt running helps me sleep better and able to concentrate better on my revision the following day... wahaha.. can't wait to break my PB again after exam..!!! More and more and more interval training... =)

Hmm.. today i waited 25mins for my Bus no.15 from Tampines.. TMD... in a space of 20mins, there were 7 buses (no.27)... can't believe it.. is like on avg every 3mins there is bus of the same number arriving at the bustop... if i knew i need to wait for so long, i would rather walk home from Tampines.. which is like arn 25-30mins... can save on bus fare also.. Argh!!!!


溫嵐 - 北斗星 (詞：方文山/溫嵐 曲：周杰倫)

我只在乎你..

Have signed up for OSim OD.. $90 gone.. can't wait to start my swimming and cycling regime.. it's been a long time since i actually ride my bike... it's collecting dust now.. hmm... just found out that Aviva 70.3 ending point won't be at city area.. was kinda disappointed.. guess it was all because of F1.. Sucks MAN!! what so great abt F1..!! so according to the website, only the bike route will takes us to city area.. whereas the swim and run routes will be at ECP.. i must admit tt ECP is a nice place to run.. but... haiz.. i dunno.. last year finishing point was indeed very gd.. at the floating platform with spectacular view with lots of cheering arn the esplanade.. hope to have those kind of atmosphere in ECP which i believe it will.. cos it's a Sunday.. u don't expect ECP to be a dead park on Sunday.. haha.. so i guess.. it's still not that bad after all even though i would definitely preferred last yr route.. shall wait for more updates b4 i sign up... $370... Wow.. time to save!!...

Today is 8th May.. for those who know who was 鄧麗君 should be familiar with the date.. her voice was one of the best tt i ever heard from a female singer.. used to sleep in my ah ma room when i was in pri sch.. and she would played her radio.. somehow i got to know who is 鄧麗君.. yes.. 13 years has passed... she has the look and telent but.. she's gone.. anyway her songs still can be heard on the radio..

鄧麗君~~我只在乎你


鄧麗君~~何日君再來

East Coast PArk..!!

Didn't know that Night Running in ECP can be so amazing.. Guess it will soon be one of my ideal places to do LSD.. Ran with Wei Lun on Labour Day.. the park was kinda crowded.. but we still enjoyed the run.. Did 90mins of running.. but somehow.. i dun feel tired at all.. just thirsty.. i guess it's the environment tt kept me going.. the cooling sea breeze.. the stars.. those ships floating on the sea.. and u get to see different types of runners.. old, young, short, fat.. blah blah blah.... The feeling was so much different between running in ECP and Pasir Ris Park.. Running Pasir Ris Park will makes me feel tired easily esp wkdays.. haha.. while running, a runner just pop out of no where and said tt he wanted to follow our pace.. hmm.. a nice guy and we chatted along the way..

Guess i'll be going there with Wei lun on Sunday again... training for Sundown.. double Mara is no joke... and i beginning to panic.. haha.. anyway i believe i can do it.. no point signing up a race which i have no confident in.. it's not a matter tt i have to complete just bcos the entry fee is $100.. it's all about PASSION.. for something tt i LOVE.. even if the fee is higher, i'll still participate... time to take my endurance level to a step higher.. i can't wait for 31 May.. been counting down since 100days.. and now it only 28 more days.. i can't imagine how would i feel when i cross the finishing line.. it's a different race as compare to those tt i joined previously.. Only 300 Runners will be doing the ultra distance.. Pray hard.. i dun get injure during this Month..
