AHM... NIKE Human Race...

2008-09-01T00:14:00.004+08:00

A great wk i had.. AHM.. i clocked my PB for 21k with a time of 1hr36m37s.. was very contented.. though i know i'm able to run abit faster.. cos i started at the back.. 8min plus after flag off then i managed to cross the starting point.. then have to zig zag my way thru the crowd.. it was until almost 10km mark that i manged to run at my own steady pace.. anyway a great run.. was very happy =)

Monday and Wed training was great.. but Friday was even better.. did 3 x 1.6km.. with 5 mins rest.. and for all 3 sets, i'm able to clock it below 6mins.. i din know i can.. this is where i realised i have improve quite a lot training under a coach.. i'm more motivated to go for training.. yeah!! =)

This noon just completed NiKe Human Race 10km run.. Guess what!! i clocked my PB again!!~ omg.. i was aiming to finish 10km under 43mins.. but i nv expect i could finished it with a time of 41m40s.. luckily i sneak my way to the front.. if not i doubt i will able to hit below 42min.. Overall the race was great.. saw quite a no. of my army mates.. and one of my friend came in 3rd for under 25 category.. wow.. $200 worth of Nike voucher... Alright.. looking forward to clocking more PBs.. hehee..

If Only..

2008-08-12T23:35:00.009+08:00

Yes Think I'm improving... Ytd did 2 set of 2km with 4min break.. 1st set 7m26s while the 2nd set was 7m31s.. almost made it under the 7m30s target set by coach.. nvm.. as long as there is a little improvement in my timing, i'll be very contented.. yes!! hope to clock my 2.4km below 8m30s by end of August.. =)

Just did a 14km run.. i couldn't believe tt i could do it with a time of 1hr 2min 37secs.. and the good thing was tt i did not feel tired at all after the run... though i was breathing real hard.. but that was only for a while.. I'm very happy with it.. now i hope i can hit below 1hr35m for my AHM which is next Sunday.. =)

Below are some of the pics took during Poly 50.. =)

Why didn't i join track back in POLY.!!! WHY..!!~~

Poly 50

2008-08-09T14:57:00.003+08:00

Participated in Poly 50 on Wed.. Not bad.. My Team came in 3rd in the Alumni Category.. Got a medal and a $10 B.I.R.D Voucher.. Din expect to came in top 3.. but glad tt we won something.. i fell while passing the lap card to Eric.. butt and knee felt a little pain.. haha... nvm.. really glad that guet ping ask me to join her team.. hmm.. get to know some friends also.. Hopefully we will join again next year..

On Monday did 2 set of 2km.. Coach wan me to maintain a 90secs/lap pace.. so i have to go below 7m30s for each set with 4mins rest.. 1st set i did 7m27s.. but the 2nd set 1 did 7m36s..
6secs beyond the targeted timing.. however i'm still contented with the timing.. based on some calculation, i think i'm able to hit a 8m50s for my 2.4km.. hmm.. will go for a time trial soon.. hopefully by end of Aug, i can do a sub 8m30s for 2.4km..

I love Running....

2008-07-27T21:09:00.003+08:00

Osim results are out.. abt 3 mins slower than what i did 2 yrs ago.. all thanks to my swim.. but i'm contented with my bike timing considering the amount of time i spent on bike preparing for the race.. Run was ok.. but i think it could be better.. after all good race.. =)

Did Mizuno Wave Run this morning... a 10km run.. think i did arn 44min30s... i started from the back and have to zip zag my way thru the slower runners infront of me.. -.-.. but i think i can actually do something tt close to 43mins.. anyway.. it was a nice run.. =)

As usual.. nothing much to update.. work and training.. and i'm getting tired... but i love my training.. i have improve quite abit.. my curve is rather flat.. but slight improvement is better than nth.. =) hmm.. ping ask me to join Poly50 cos her team need runners... not bad.. get to know some new friends.. and we are all ex-sp students.. haha.. somehow i miss my poly life.. miss the food, the people.. the only regret tt i have is not being active during my poly life..!! argh! regret not joing any CCA....

One of my colleague keep saying tt i'm old liao.. and it's time to get a GF and settle down... i was like Zzzz... ok 23 only mah.. am i old? i dunno.. maybe it's time to think abt this issue.. haha.. i still rmb those stupid chain e-mails which i received in the past... those emails say something like if u dun forward the mail to how many blah blah blah people, then u will have rotten luck in ur love life for that blah blah blah number of years... hmm.. like kinda true... i always ignored those e-mails.. and i'm wondering if this is the reason why that girl tt i fond of is not interested in me... hmm.. ok lame.. !! haha...

rain rain go away......

2008-07-12T19:50:00.003+08:00

Tmr will be going down to ECP to take part in Osim Triathlon.. Din really train for this event.. but i still hope i can do a sub 3.. been working on speed run.. longest distance tt i ran since Passion Run was only 8km.. Swam twice only.. and went for my 1st cycling one wk ago since last Sept Aviva 70.3... Not sure how am i gonna survive the swim and bike leg.. most pro it will be a long swim and toruring cycling.. running shouldn't be a problem i guess.. but after swimming 1.5km and cycling 40km, running a 10km after that is gonna be a real challenge.. but nvm.. take it as a leisure activity...

Finally the route for Aviva 70.3 HIM has confirmed.. the bike route looks gd.. really feel like trying it again... 90km of cycling on ECP and AYE.. it gonna be real fast.. speedy ride.. but.. registration fee is 370SGD.. also.. i dun have the time to train on bike and swimming.. how how how..!!~~!~ sigh..

2008-06-28T00:39:00.002+08:00

Coach Robin said somthing today.. i know he didn't mean to demoralise me... he was just stating the fact and i knew it too... with my current form, i'm just simply too slow to compete with the rest... i know that i haven't reach my peak yet... and seriously.. 3mths is just too short... i'm not feeling very positive at this moment.. no matter what, i'll still give my best effort and see what i can do within the next few mths.. i really need more time to train and rest.. and i'm thinking of not taking part in 70.3 HIM... all i need is to do lots of speed work and not just endurance training which i need if i'm taking part in 70.3... SigH!~~ ARgH!!!

Who is David Cook..?

2008-06-22T23:36:00.004+08:00

This week has been very busy.. i need more time for sleeping... wake up at 730am every wkday and work till 6pm.. sometimes have to stay behind to do some stuff.. 1,3,5 have to rush down to SP for track training.. it was tiring.. track training has been switched to 3times per wk as IVP is somewhere in OCT.. finally we got a coach.. he's nice and i enjoyed training under him.. On Wed i did a 2.4km trial run.. timing was 9.18.. was abit disappointed cos i really feel that i can clock a sub 9 with my current form.. maybe i wasn't doing much interval due to exam and was training for Sundown.. but nvm.. coach just wanna use that timing as a guage and draw out a tranining plan accordingly.. on Friday.. did a 15 x 400m interval... it's the very 1st time i'm doing 15x.. surprisingly i managed to complete it with an avg timing of arn 90secs.. it was kinda slow and hope to see improvement at end of July.. i'm thinking of what events to join.. will definitely join the 5km.. but not too sure if i should go for steeplechase or 10km.. based on last yr result, steeplechase seem to has a higher chance of getting a medal.. while 10km i have to hit below 37min in order to have any hope.. hmMmMm...

After Friday training, rushed down to jackson place for Mj session.. i couldn't believe that i was so lucky.. i kept "zi-mo-ing".. i got a 5 tai "zi-mo" and quite a number of 3-4 tai wins.. haha... in the end i won $48... Swee ar!! the 1st time i won so much.. moreover we only played 2 rounds nia and only 2/4... so i actually "hu-ed" 65% of all the games.. wahaha... Rightfully i could have won more.. but.. because of some..... haiz nvm la.. after all i don't really like to win my friends $$... just wanna enjoy the game.. at the same time not losing too much $$ also.. haha... Lai Lai Lai.. i think June is a lucky mth for me.. jio me for Mj..

Anyway.. Croatia Out, Holland OUt..!! there goes my 'dream' final... i wasn't expecting Portugal to win.. so glad tt germans are thru to the semi.. but Turkey is currently the luckiest team in the history of Euros.. i guess so.. they were super 'heng' during the last 3 matches... watched holland match last night.. i know the Russian is not an easy team to beat.. however i still expect the Dutch to go thru.. but that wasn't the case.. It was just another disappointing story.. could see that the Dutch defenders were tired and couldn't match the pace of the Russian strikers.. and then let in 2 soft goals.. felt like 'crying' haha.. no la.. just wanna act passionate.. lol.. anyway.. now i gonna place all my bet on Italy.. hope they can win.. and pls kick spain out.. cos my sis support spain.. haha...

Recently on radio i heard a guy sang - Mariah Carey 'Always be my baby'... then i finally found out tt that guy was actually David Cook from American Idol 7.. i don't watch these idol show thingy so i din know who is DC until now.. didn't expect a guy could sing such a song.. it's a totally different kind of 'feel'... Wow..!~ Nice voice..

Sundown 84km Ultra-Marathon

2008-06-15T00:52:00.006+08:00

Call me crazy, 'siao', stupid, running freak.. whatever!~ anyway i did it.. i'm an offical ultra-marathon finisher for the very 1st night run in Singapore.. 84km.. i've done it.. i'm one of the 300 runners who completed it.. seriously.. i feel very proud of myself.. this is not 'hao lian' or what.. but it is a kind of self satisfaction, achievement which nothing could ever describe.. you can only feel it, once u have done it.. it's the toughest race of all.. i lost 4kg over a night.. i spent 12hr 44mins running/walking/struggling/limping... almost gave up.. almost cried while struggling with the pain in my knee.. but somehow i managed to cross the finishing line..

Before-Race
Met up with Wei lun and Zhen wei at Pasir ris Mrt control.. we took bus 89 to Changi.. along the way we were talking about what were our stragery for the run.. cos somehow 3 of us fear that we might not complete it.. when were reached Changi beach, the whole place was super crowded as the ultra and team run started at the same time.. so we actually felt very 'great' as we were the handful of people out of thousands of runners doing the ultra.. the atmosphere was so special.. we deposit out bag, special need bag, took the light stick and put it around our wrist.. it was so cool..!!! =) did some stretching and walked towards the start line..

During-Race

Once we crossed the starting line, 3 of us were running side by side.. maintaining at a very slow pace 8km/hr.. lots of team runners were running ahead of us... we were actually quite discipline not to go too fast.. as there was still a long way to go.. after abt 5km, wei lun fell behind.. so zhen wei and i maintain our pace and finally the ultra runners were left on thier own as the team runners 'u-turn' back.... coastal road is damn boring.. but luckily the volunteers were their to break the silent.. yeah!! after abt 10km.. we reached ECP.. there was where we have to keep within our pace cos when u ran passed people esp the girls, u tend to go a little faster.. haha.. alright even though we were maintaining at a steady pace, somehow we were able to overtake some of the runners.. after u-turn, saw Kk and weilun.. gave them a thumbs up and waved at each other.. after about 2 hrs++ we left ECP.. after crossing the 1st overhead bridge, there was a lady giving out free red bull.. hmm.. so zhen wei and i shared the can.. we ran passed kembagan mrt, bedok town park.. then we reached an overhead bridge where we have to climb up.. yes steps all the way.. saw a disabled participant who i think was paralysed from waist down used his own effort to make his way up the steps.. he didn't ask for help.. that gave me some motivation.. after that we reached Bedok Res.. i started to fall back as i felt that my legs was gonna go cramp.. so zhen wei went ahead of me.. we were abt 200m apart.. i tried to follow his pace and eventually lost sight of him when i reached tampines park connector.. so i contiuned my run.. and look at my watch.. almost 4hr and left with 8km which was well within my target of 11hrs.. after running non-stop for 4hrs and once i reached the 35km mark, i stopped.. and started to switch to 'walk-run' strategy... finally i reached Changi and i jog my way through the finishing point.. but wait!! that was only the 1st half.. i still need to go for another 42km.. haha.. the feeling of completing the 1st round was great.. i ran passed this small bridge.. once i crossed over this bridge, the people were clapping and cheering for me.. the whole atmosphere was fantastic.. 1st time i'm felt this way.. all the attention was on me as there wasn't any runners infront nor behind of me..time check!~ 4hr54mins..

:: One of the 'Up-Sloping' OverHead-Bridge ::

:: This water cooler saved me ::

Made my way to the pit stop.. took my sport beans and chew it along the way.. wanted to jog again.. but couldn't so i walked for the next 1km+ until i get out of changi beach.. then the hell began.. the coastal route.. it was boring.. but the volunteer never failed thr runners.. they were as enthu as ever.. i would try my very best to smile at them for their effort to make them felt that they were important for the runners.. after abt 2km+ of walking, finally i'm back to 'walk-run'.. run abt 600m and walk abt 200m and eventually i made my way to ECP.. once i reached ecp, my whole legs felt weak.. and my knee started to feel alittle pain.. so i rest at one of the bench and do some stretching.. at this point, some of the runners over took me.. they were strong.. after that i walked most of the way and did some self-reflection..haha.. until i reached the cable ski lagoon.. where i turned on my hp-mp3.. ahaha.. and the momentum was back.. i kept running for most of the distance until i reached the u-turn point.. after which i walked again.. total exhausted.. hungry and sleepy.. at Ecp Macdonald, it was tempting to get a double cheese.. but i didn't.. anyway there was this emcee who was cheering for all the ultra runner.. there was a point where i walked until he said "Sundown ultra marathoner.. after tonight u will become an Ultraman.." i felt motivated and somehow i managed to run again.. and then he was saying something like "yeah man.. there's way to go.. all the way.." haha then i realised tt ultraman was actually refering to me.. i was so ps.. so in order to maintain a 'zai' image.. haha i ran until i almost left ECP.. then for the rest of the route, it was purely walk and a little of run.. my mind was tired.. drained.. when i reach bedok town park, the sky started to drizzle a little.. thunder could be heard and lightning was within sight.. i was so afraid that they might stopped us.. at that moment the video clip of Avivao 70.3 suddenly appeared in my mind.. the clip mentioned this.. "The rain can't stopped me.. the only thing that can stopped me is... ME".... so i actually ran hard and took little walk break.. until i reached bedok res.. at this time the sun was up.. khai yau who ran the 42km called me and asked where am i.. i told him i still have abt 12km to go and told him to go home 1st as i was struggling with my knee.. while talking on the phone i noticed that i actually had missed one of the turning point cos the marshall who was supposed to guide us was seeking for shelter and that guy infront of me also missed the turning point, and i literally followed him blindly haha.. i was like wtf.. lolz.. nvm.. took a toliet break.. and walked the rest like almost 10km.. Zhen wei and Xin Zhong called me asking me where am i.. i told them "Jia Lat man.. knee pain.. a long way to go.." haha... the last 8km was a total struggled... it was that moment where i really felt like giving up and the word 'suffering' appearred..i couldn't even jog for more than 10m.. felt like crying.. "ArghZzz" Mental Torture.!! i left with no choice but to walk and took serveral breaks at the bustop.. it was kinda embrassing when u walked passed people and volunteers(though some of them were sleeping).. i couldn't afford to risk my knee.. so i chose to walk.. when i reached Changi, Kk ran passed me.. he still looked fresh.. while i was like a zombie.. saw the finishing line, so i jogged again.. i looked arn, most of the people had left.. and finally i crossed the finishing line.. i've done it..!!

After-Race
Felt so relieved after crossing the finshing line.. though not much people were there cheering for me(abit disappointed).. but the feeling of making it through still felt good.. took my finisher medal and tee.. sat on a chair for a while.. before i limped my way home.. ok i took bus.. i din walked home haha...

hmm.. i would definitely rate this as the toughest race so far.. the route was tough with lots of up slopes.. The whole experience was excellent.. the volunteers were the best i ever came across.. they made my run easier.. there were alot of eye candy too.. hehe.. yeah.. but they look young.. so haha.. ok.. now lots of my friends called me 'siao' after knowing tt i completed 84km.. hahaa.. would i do this again? yes definitely.. maybe not 84km.. at this moment once is enough.. haha.. but not too sure by the time when the registration starts.. hahaa.. if the date for next year sundown it not close to the exam.. perphape i can consider doing 84km again.. as for now.. shall focus on shorter distance.. preparing for IVP.. =)

Watched Singapore Vs Uzbekistan at National Studium on Monday with kelvin.. Singapore kena trashed.. we were outplayed by the opponents.. however, we could see lots of improvement on the team.. but sad thing is we had quite a numbe of "foreign talents" in the team.. about half of the team were not "true" Singapoean.. it's a sad thing to see this.. i don't think it's gd for our local players who are currently trying very hard to shine.. sigh..

:: Where were the Die-Hard Fans?? ::

How Far Is 84KM..???

2008-05-29T23:44:00.003+08:00

:: 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'...

2008-05-25T22:03:00.006+08:00

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..!!!

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!

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......

2008-05-17T01:00:00.005+08:00

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..

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..!!

2008-05-09T02:11:00.003+08:00

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!!!!

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

2008-05-03T02:08:00.005+08:00

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..

2008-04-29T00:38:00.003+08:00

So many races coming up and yet I'm damn broke to participate.. I've missed quite a no of events since beginning of this year.. and the organisers just keep increasing their entry fees... wth..!!

- OSim ($90) is way to ex.. feel like skipping this but it is one of the event which i dun really wish to miss.. shall see how..
- Aviva 70.3 ($370).. no matter what i gonna join this...
- AHM ($20).. and my unit still has not called me to run under them as NSmen.. argh!!!
- Langkawi IM (USD280).. Wow still considering.. it's a dream to complete an IM.. and is a step towards my ultimate goal.. KONA!!! which i think it will takes quite sometime to achieve.. or should i say it is almost impossible..?? anyway i really think i'm ready for my 1st IM this next year.. but it gonna cost me alot more.. accommodation, air ticket.. blah blah blah.. *SiGh*.!!
- Standchart (est $50++) will definitely join..
- Plus alot of others mini-minor races.. (est $100)

TMD!! TOTAL arn $1000.. even my $600 GST plus dividend growth is not enough.. My Tri bike confirm gone.. i guess.. unless i stike 4D.. ok la 3rd prize will do =X..
hmm.. guess i need to work very hard during holi...So many things to do and yet... nvm will continue to save $$..

Now shall focus on Sundown (Wat abt exams?? =X).. 1 more mth.. i'm so looking forward to it.. will be meeting wei lun and khai yau on labour day at ECP to do some running.. or rather jogging.. ahah.. anyway just did a 10km moderate pace and 2km slow run at arn 10pm.. now i'm so hungry... I Need to eat.. SUPPER!! FOOD!!!

Today my mum bought me those triangular dumpling.. and it costs $2.40.. i was so super shock.. i tot it's usually costs arn $1.50?.. and that person told my mum tt they will increase another 20cents next month.. i was like Zzzz... Guess i have to eat my notes once my exam has ended.. a way of recycling.. isn't it? haha.. this reminds me when i was in pri sch when my friends and i ate small little pieces of paper.. haha.. can't imagine i actually ate paper b4.. guess it was in pri 1.. yah.. i think so.. wahaha..

Lazy....

2008-04-20T23:31:00.007+08:00

Was really lazy to blog.. i don't know why.. just dun feel like typing..

Donated blood 2wks ago and it seems like the more i donate, the more painful it was.. my right arm was swollen for almost 1wk.. and the bruise was arn 2 50c coins.. wth... couldn't sleep properly on my right.. next time, i'll use my left arm instead.. anyway.. this won't stop me from future blood donation.. =)

Bought a pair of Asics Gel-Cumulus 7.. like Finally!!! haha

couldn't find a racer tt suits me during the sales.. the one tt i love didn't have my size.. Anyway will use this pair for Sundown.. now i have 3 pairs of Asics shoes.. 1 for training long D, 1 for racing and 1 for track training.. wahaha... My training for Sundown has not been according to what i had planned... but anyway.. i've decided to change my long run based on timing rather than the distance.. hmmm...

My brain is finally back to normal.. able to absorbed info again... last wk was down with fever and flu... had a hard time trying to concentrate on my revision.. anyway.. exam is nearing.. prelim results were not tt encouraging.. given the amt of effort i put in, guess i can't complained much also..

Recently been listening to this song while on my way to school haha.. i think it's a nice and catchy song.. wondering how is he now...

Edison Chen - I Never Told You

He has quite a no. of nice canto songs too.. one of my fav is "分手武器".. go haoting.com and listen.. hopefully he will be back with more canto songs.. hmm....

KLIM

2008-04-04T11:08:00.007+08:00

Back from KLIM... it was incredible.. i BROKE my own RECORD.. YES!!.. not PB but a personal worst.. my slowest or rather my longest 42.2km.. 4hr33min..!! this was abt 7min more than my 1st attempt.. ZZzz.. anyway.. can't really complain much abt it.. my longest LSD b4 this race was only arn 19km and i only did twice of this dist which were definitely not enough to achieve a gd timing.. none the less.. i think it was still a gd timing consider tt the terrain and the Carbon Monoxide tt i had to take in while running.. haha... Yes the KLIM route was indeed challenging (esp the air =X).. as expected after my 07 experience.. the up and down slopes can really kill u.. the up slopes slow down my strides and pace (to conserve energy) while the down slopes only allow me to open up my stride a little but not really in pace.. cos if i were to increase my pace during a down slope, i guess i would have to walk for quite a dist b4 i continue running again.. ahaha... i was able to maintain a consistent pace of 10km/hr till 22km.. after which i switched to the walk and run strategy and then finally 'hit the wall' at 30km.. the last 12k was just purely 'sight-seeing' experience and letting other to overtake me.. haha.. Will definitely be back in 09... hopefully the air will be much better.. The air condition was really bad.. plus those people who were rushing in the early morning for Qin Ming, only make the air quality even worse.. their cars haiz.. Chui..!! most of them were not environmental friendly at all..!! Anyway, i still enjoyed the trip to KL.. All the Makaning..Yummy.. cheap cheap food...with Khai yau.. haha.. KFC!!! hahaha...

:: Before Start ::

:: 34km Completed ::

:: People Walking up the Slope haha ::

:: My 5th 42.2km ::

:: With Adam ::

:: Din know tt My Hp is able to capture such a quality pic ::

Had lessons from Tue to Thurs.. was really tired.. felt sleepy esp after lunch.. my eyes were looking at the lecturer but my brain couldn't adsorb the info and also some of those talkative 'aunties' in the LT were really distracting esp during POA.. Pbf ones still ok.. they were quite discipline.. anyway sometimes i was actually thinking of other things.. so ya.. haha..!~

Will be meeting Weilun and Jeremy at Suntec to take a look at ASICS sales later.. Time to get new buddies for my lovely feet.. hope to get a trainer and a racer shoe.. plus some running gears.. have been waiting for this sale for a super long time.. hope to spend within $200..=) Hope it doesn't rain too.. cos will be swimming later with weilun.. yes..!! i need some water therapy for my legs..!!

Happened to meet 3 of my army friends when i was on the train.. and 2 in school.. suddenly memories of those times keep floating back.. Nono..! only gd memories.. those bad ones i've dumped it into my recycle bin... but have yet to empty it.. haha..!! hmm.. sometimes i still do think army.. but ofcos i'm glad tt it's all over.. =) and i'm enjoying my life right now!!! yeah!

hmm.. wore a red t-shirt on wed then went to National Stadium with my cousin and his gf to support Singapore.. yes! Sg won against Lebanon.. Singapore was really gd during tt match.. though we could have scored more.. anyway.. tot the stadium will be atleast 80% full.. but in the end it was like half empty.. abit disappointed.. the atmosphere was not as great compared to those matches during the last Asean cup.. din really shout this time.. cos not much 'horning'.. for those who have been to Singapore Matches should know what i mean.. There were abt 3 uncles trying very hard to initiate the Kallang Wave.. but somehow the crowd wasn't really enthu.. but ok lah.. they were quite entertaining.. keep shouting "ARE YOU REALLY... 1,2,3..." then the waves was like HF.. haha.. was really funny.. they were laughing too.. seem like they were enjoying themselves.. haiz.. gonna miss Kallang Stadium.. will definitely catch the other match in June.. WC 2010?? it is not impossible.. but highly not possible.. chances is really slim.. We Need Miracle!!

Read the newspaper that a family had met an accident along North-South expway and the only sole survivor was a 2mth old baby girl.. how cruel can this world be.. numerous people had died along this expressway... Will be travelling along this expway tonight.. i seriously think tt it is a very dangerous road.. without any light along some part of it.. doubt i'll be able to sleep peacefully during the journey.... hope everything will be smooth...

Will be heading to KL tonight.. for my 5th marathon... i must admit tt i'm not physically prepared.. most of the time was training with the track for speed.. and also most of days were raining when i wanted to do my LSD... TMD..!! anyway this is gonna be a warm-up LSD for my Sundown... not going to aim for a PB.. anything close to 4.15 will be a bonus..

Will be meeting khai Yau at 2030 at Tam platform b4 joining Adam and his friends at Queenstreet bus station.. Even though the coach will be leaving at 0030 from LArkin.. but we are meeting much ealier all thank to Mas Selemat.. hope there will not be massive jam at the Woodlands checkpoint..

Will be back on Monday night.. then the following 3 days will be having revision classes... Tues from 10am-10pm.. Wed and Thurs 10-5pm.. Argh!!! Gonna miss tues track training.. Plus 3 days of hard-core revision lesson.. wth.. nvm.. atleast i get to enjoy my wkend by eating... Eat and sleep and eat and sleep... without any worry tt i may become fat.. haha... now is 7++pm and i still have not pack my stuff.. haha..

7 Days to KL Makanthon....

2008-03-22T21:55:00.005+08:00

Last wk was lousy... kept raining.. therefore we did step climbing instead of normal track training.. this wk was slightly better as i get to work on my interval... was really happy.. think i've made some improvement.. if i continue to train like this for the next few mths, i think i'll stand a gd chance to compete in IVP and hopefully.... =) hmm.. 7 days to KL Makanthon and my longest was only 18km... supposed to do 23km today but was raining.. hope tmr will be a better day...

Last night i had a terrible nightmare.. it was really lame yet scary.. everything seem so real... haha.. hmm.. i dreamt tt i was using an electronic toothbrush.. after awhile my teeth started falling one by one.. *Ouch*!!.. i kept rinsing my mouth with water as my gum just kept bleeding non-stop and my teeth were as soft as jelly.. haha.. and i couldn't even close my mouth.. after tt i just woke up suddenly.. and i realised tt my mouth was open.. crap..!! was relieved tt it was just a dream.. really lame..!! and ytd was not the 1st time tt i dreamt abt something happening to my teeth.. strange..!! so btm line is.. dun ever use an electronic toothbrush..!!

The following videos are from my all time pri sch fav idol..!! Jimmy LIN!!!
林志颖。。 haha.. tt was like way back in 1992... he was so popular when i was still in pri sch.. and i still rmb some of the moves in the MTV..!! and i used to have his Cassette Tapes.. too bad my Mum threw it all away.. Argh!! wondering if i still able to find those tapes... HmmMMm..

2008-03-11T11:46:00.004+08:00

Finally it's time to relax abit... POA was ok.. my friends and i were expecting a tougher paper so ytd paper was relatively 'ok'.. can score type of paper provided u have done enough practise... yeap..! i din practise.. so ya.. think a pass will be a satisfactory result.. time for me to wake up..!! haha...

After the paper, Dom, Kel, Mic, pei shan, yin xia, kinda and i went to SP for lunch... hmm.. just relised tt almost every wk Dom, Kel and i will have our lunch b at SP... yeap!.. think SP is a great place.. food is gd.. the biz library is a great place to study too.. miss all those time tt we had.. rushing thru projects to meet deadline.. laptops here and there.. solving codes.. typing reports.. playing daidee.. guild house.. and what else? hmm.. ya.. the girls from Er Mei Shan!! =X haha.. okok.. after lunch all of us except Mic and kinda watched The Leap Years at GV plaza.. i heard tt the show is nice.. but after watching it, i din expect it to be SO NICE... i mean.. it's worth ur every cents.. a great show to me.. local production somemore... can't expect much... the songs were great too.. by corrinne may...

Now it's raining.. hope it will stop b4 evening... track training later at NP.. before tt kelvin and i will camp in sch lib to do some relaxing revision.. wahaha... think just 8 more weeks before the actual exam.. seriously not much time left.. unless u r aiming for a pass... hmm.. think a pass is not gd enough... time to be serious.. =X

Took my CF Paper on Wed and it turned out to be quite bad... abit disappointed.. totally demoralised... and spoilt my 'study' mood on Thurs and FRi... so yah.. 2 days wasted by stoning and sleeping at home... haha.. luckily went for track training on tues night.. cos it won't make any different if i were to stay at home and revised on CF..

Wanted to Run today.. but it was raining... din do any long run this wk.. tmr die die must run.. provided it is not raining...

hmm.. i still have not open my Angbao $$... very lazy to count.. cos once i open it, i tend to spend it.. haha... so yah.. when i'm really broke then i will open it.. but think soon i gonna open it.. cos i'm running out of cash... skipped Sg and NUs Bia cos no $$ to sign up.. wanted to save $$ for bigger races.. haha... i found 1 angbao hiding at 1 cornor inside my cupboard.. when i opened it, it was actually last yr angbao which contains all the $2 notes... suddenly felt abit richer... so my advise is when u r rich, hide ur $$ somewhere in the drawer... then when u r short of cash, u can use it... hmm.. dun make any sense also... and yah transportation $$ is burning my pocket, wallet and ATM... a single day to sch and back home.. cost me $4... can't take it anymore.. i don't get any pocket $$ from my parents cos i'm 23 this yr and asking my parents for allowance just doesn't make sense to me.. haha.. but once in a while they will still give me some transportation allowance... if bo bian, i've to cycle to sch.. which is highly impossible.. haha.. think my tri bike is gone...

JI leader Mas Selamat is still at large... i wondering how is he doing now.. must be feeling sick and smelly cos of the rain.. haha... Surprising tt he managed to escape... anyway hope the relevant agency will let the public know exactly how did he mange to escape... guess all Singaporeans are dying to know the truth... hopefully he is still in Sg... haha..

Anyway today is 2 March 08.. but i've decided to put the entry date as 29 Feb.. cos it only occur once in every 4 yrs.. haha... sianz sianz sianz..... if i dun run, i'll feel moody!!! haha...

2008-02-09T00:58:00.000+08:00

Went back to Gelang Patah on the 1st day of CNY.. It is very near 2nd link.. so we actually took abt 1hr and reached there arn 12noon++.. Once there... wahz!! the house was crowded... my cousins bring along their children.. so u can imagine... was stoning over there initially.. cos there was nth much for me to do... sat on the sofa and watched TV... b4 lunch we "Lao Yu-Sheng" including the kids.. wow there were like 30++ people... haha... received quite a no. of angbao cos some of my cousins got married recently.. but felt kinda "paiseh" to receive from them.. dunno why...not all my cousins were present... if not i actually should have a couple more angbao in my pocket... =X After that played Dai-dee with my cousins... each card Rm10cent.. In the end i lost Rm30Cents.. haha... cos our skills were quite evenly on par... after tt my 10 yr old cousin and nephew ask me to join them for black-jack... erm... they were so cute... all of them not older than 12yrs.. i dunno how to describe... hmm.. i played only a few games.. cos they seem to have their own rules... wahahaha.. in the end kena cheated arn RM$1.20 by them... =D

Arn evening, we had dinner... Hmm.. i always enjoyed eating their Chicken... dunno why.. the kampong Chicken seem to taste better than those frozen chicken we ate in Singapore... (actually it's a fact tt Kampong Chicken taste better) after tt i was standing outside the house.. thinking back those times the way i celebrated cny when i was young... i used to play firecrackers and stuff... my uncle who passed away when i was in sec 3 i think, used to pamper us with all these stuff... i still remembered how i placed the firecracker into a glass bottle and lighted it with a matchstick like a pro.. wahaha... and within secs, it shoot up right into the sky... and wow... it was like a mini firework display cos every other neighbour arn you were playing too... i really missed those times... for safety reasons, the johor authority had banned it a few yrs back... haiz!~ how i wish..... i can play with those stuff again... if i'm not wrong i think still can play but have to do it illegally...oOpZz... =)

On the 2nd day... went to my grandmother house... go there watched tv.. then came back home... haha... cos beside visiting where else can we go?... Again.. we "lao Yu-Sheng".. this time with relatives from my mother side... i ate "Yu-sheng" for 3 days in a row.. Cny eve with my family, 1st day with Malaysian relatives and today.. yah... Don't know why i beginning to like "Yu-Sheng"... hmMmm.!~

新年快乐！！万事如意。。！！

2008-02-07T02:08:00.000+08:00

It's CNY..!! 新年快乐！！恭喜发财！！what else? ermm.. 红包一个来? 哈哈！！

Alright..!~ just finished helping my mum preparing the red packets for my Malaysian Relatives.. yeah tmr or rather later i'm gonna see them... but at the same time think i'll be stoning over there... my cousins and i used to play games and running arn in my ah-ma house but now we have already grown up.. ya.. so my nephews and nieces.. (my cousins' children) will be the ones tt spice up the atmosphere in the house... haha.. Anyway.. i find CNY is getting boring.. even the angbao don't seem to be attractive anymore... if i have a choice, i don't mind staying at home... To me it is just like any other public holidays... then again, it's gd to see them once in awhile as i don't get to see them tt often.. oh well.. contradicting hur..>?!

Ytd went swimming with khai yau.. the whole street was kinda quiet.. coffeshop closed.. shopping mall "half-awake"... yah...!!~ i wondering what the indians, malays and others will be doing during these two days.. hmm..!~~

On tues, i read the new paper which had a report on some of the taiwanese celebrities mocking at Singaporean English.. Saying on National TV tt Singaporean speak English in a "weird" manner... i was like wth.. can the majority of the taiwanese speak better english than us? i doubt so.. yah? So i went to youtube and searched for that "mocking" segment.. yah.. it was damn bloody irritating... i couldn't stand it..!!! if people doesn't speak like the way u do, that doesn't mean their english is weird.. i mean you don't say tt on national tv right?
click on the links below...

That particular "Mocking" segment

The whole episode (there are 5 parts)

The NewPaper article

There was this part when tt botak guy said that Singaporean pronounce "Thanks" as "Dance"... erm... i mean these 2 words are totally different.. he himself admitted tt his english standard isn't good.. and if u watch the whole show, he can't even understand or speak simple english and yet he dares to make such comment.. omg..!~ i think a pri sch kid can speak better than him.. and yah.. Singaporeans don't pronounce "Sorry" like an "Ah Gua"!!

There was also a part where the other guy who was a tour guide said tt Singaporeans pronounce "Uncle" and "Aunties" as "Ankle" and "An-Ties".. wth... i've been in Singapore since i was born.. i have never heard anyone pronounces "Uncle" as "Ankle"...

There was also an English teacher on the show said that she doesn't understand what was one of the our immigration officer was saying when he asked her if she was "Pregnant"... i mean every countries has their own accent... and her arrogant way of correcting the way tt guy pronounced "Pregnant" really bloOdy piss me off...

Oh yah.. this is the blog of that pathetic English teacher haha.. Do read those comments when you are free.. pretty interesting.. http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/rubyatnews98/guestbook She did apologize in her blog... Anyway based on her writing on her blog, her English isn't that fantastic as what i would expect from an English teacher who dares to "mock" at other country way of speaking English... wahaha... btw my english also "half-pail" standard... definitly cannot be compared to that Taiwanese English teacher... but i'm sure that i can speak way better than those celebrities on that show..!! wahaha..!!!!

2008-01-10T09:47:00.000+08:00

Went For a 10km easy run arn 51mins yesterday.. started off easy and manage to clock slightly more than 9min for last 2km.. Intend to start my swim and bike session soon.. Shall start with Swim this friday and hopefully a bike session next friday.. but is very hard to do bike in Singapore.. Everywhere u go, u always bound to be stopped by the traffic lights.. haha.. Think i'll try the coastal road and all the way to ECP..

Recently keep listening to this song.. hmm....

ANyway there is this Chinese Astrology thingy in facebook.. and realised the following para is kinda true for me... hmmm.... haha.. i'm a 1985 Ox... MoOOOoo...!!! =)

"When the Ox is in love, he does not confirm his feelings verbally, preferring to show you how he feels rather than tell you. An Ox will take a long time to decide if you are the right match for him because Oxen hate change, and want to find someone who is ready to embark upon a stable marriage. Oxen never rush into anything and are not flirtatious people. Once they have committed to you they will usually be faithful and expect reciprocation of their honorable actions."

Life Is Just Too Short..

2008-01-04T19:03:00.000+08:00

I'm turning 23 this yr.. that means i have a year lesser to live in this beautiful world.. Imagine i expect myself to live till 80yrs old..

80 - 23 = 57 (Years Left On Earth)
57 x 365 = 20805 (Days Left On Earth)
20805 x 24 = 499320 (Hours Left On Earth)
499320 x 60 = 29959200 (Minutes Left On Earth)

If god allows me to live till 80yrs old, i'm only left with only 29959200 mins.. this number will be decreased by 1 for every 60 secs gone or rather wasted.. So Life is indeed short.. What if i'm not able to live till 80?? who knows maybe 70, 60 or even 30... i wouldn't dare to do the calculation for that.. Not even for my parents or grand parents..

Recently quite a number of death occurred due to cardiovascular failure while running or doing sports.. Last week a Scottish soccer player collapsed during a match.. He was only 35 married with 4 kids.. Ytd an Army MAJ died after a run.. he was only 41.. Last year a Spanish player collapsed too.. during a match.. he was just 24 and his wife was expecting their 1st child.. Last yr too, a National Triathlete and an Army CPT collapsed and died after crossing the finishing line.. They were just 17 and 25 yrs only.. This Not only happen to male.. i remembered last yr a female VJC student collapsed during her 2.4km run and.... ya.. Sad..

SEriously i'm not very sure if that will happen to me.. cos it is simply just unpredictable.. i still rmb when i went for this Army Medical Check-Up and was told tt my Heart Beats Slower than normal.. He told me either my Heart has a problem or i'm rather Fit.. WTH!! I must admit that sometime i feel pain arn my chest area esp when i'm trying to run faster.. but will slow down when this happen.. i'll never push myself too hard.. but that doesn't mean i won't try to push.. i even thought of going for medical check-up at CGH.. but it is just too expensive and i also scare tt they will tell me that i'm not fit for running.. Haiz.. Even if the report shows that you are fit, that doesn't mean you won't suffer from cardiovascular failure.. This happened to an Elite American Marathoner.. He was passed fit but died during the Olympic trial.. he was only 24 i think.. Anyway just watched the news.. Local Actor or rather comedian MC King passed away today.. he was just 40.. i was shocked.. =(

I still remembered my friend and i were almost crash to death by this 800kg panels use for building bridge back in Army.. that was really close.. a nightmare for me.. if i reacted 3 secs slower, i dun think i'll be blogging now.. A 10kg dumb bell that fall on ur legs can damage ur feet.. imagine 800kg of steel...!!! (For more info, pls read the entry dated 12 Feb 2006)

Anyway I'm glad tt i'm able to walk after every run.. able to see the sun when i wake up.. able to eat when i'm hungry.. haha.. crap man..!! But seriously i'm really thankful that i'm able to live and enjoy myself as time passes by.. cos life is just too short to be imagined.. =)

SIM-UOL Bash
Went Zouk Last Thursday with some friends.. 1st timer there.. haha.. the place was rather small.. not tt big as i thought.. i'm not a clubber so ya.. i would still prefered Running than going to this kind of places.. Shared cab home with Kelvin and Cindy.. After tt had a lonely supper (3 x PRATA..!! + Teh PenG..) near my place and a slow 20mins walk home..

Xtreme Challenge
Went for Xtreme Challenge last wkend(Sat-Sun) which was organised by SIM-ODAC.. Team up with Desmond, Henry and Nicole.. we were supposed to have 1 more female in the team but she had a fever.. so yup.. left with four of us.. We did bridge jump, rock climbing, abseiling, Tree Top walk, Kayaking, cycling and other mini games.. We even visited OCH.. HmMm.. i think i even saw the smallest and most pathetic bustop in Singapore.. it is located somewhere near west coast area.. Along the way timothy and i exchanged sms-es and update the status of each station.. haha.. oh Yah.. Desmond was great at hitching free Ride.. =) Overall i thought it was still ok except for the rain which really spoilt the whole event.. wasn't tt Xtreme as i thought.. Some of the rules at each station were not explained clearly to us.. Maybe not their fault, just tt we interpreted wrongly.. i think the event definitely can be improved further.. yuPZz.!! Thru this event, i got to know Henry and Nicole.. They were friends of Desmond back in JJ.. had a great time with 3 of team.. it's not easy to find nice people around you.. =) Anyway we spent quite alot of money on the registration fee and transportation.. but tt's ok.. most importantly i enjoyed myself (not in the rain) and spent a wonderful weekend with my team.. Will definitely join again next yr provided i'm able to form a team.. haha...

XMas Eve
Spent my Xmas Eve at Jackson's house with some sec sch friends and soccer kaki.. from 10+ till arn 5am.. ate log cakes and bbq chicken.. later we played some games using poker and dice.. the loser or rather the "sway" ones will have to drink.. haha.. Most of us were kinda drunk.. we drank Vodka, Wisky and White wine.. it was fun anyway..

:: XMas Eve ::

Blood Donation
Went for my 4th blood donation with Khai Yau at BloodBank ytd.. Ouch..!! haha.. it was the most painful experience so far as compared to the previous 3 times.. don't know why.. but actually not really painful also.. =X was looking at the way the nurse poke the tube into my vein.. i think it will be more painful if you try to look away.. haha.. anyway pls donate if u r A or O type.. the supply for A and O are currently low.. So do your part.. =)

DBIT 1A/01 (Dinner at Suntec)

2007-12-16T10:52:00.000+08:00

Ak organised a mini dinner outing for Poly yr 1 class last night.. but only 7 of us turn up (surprising WeiJian was one of them).. hmm.. actually not bad already.. Cos it is not easy to come out with a date that could suit 20 of us.. =)

We had dinner at one of the Japanese Resturant in Suntec Basement.. The food was really good.. but it was kinda expensive.. in the end i spent abt $35 on that.. hmm.. We took some pictures using Sharon's cam.. before we head to Starbuck for some chit-chatting session.. Time passed quite fast.. Can't imagine the 1st time we met each other was back in 2002.. it's been 5 yrs plus since we knew each other.. hmm... Hope to have more "Catching up" Session like this.. =)

NC OG Gathering..

2007-12-15T10:15:00.000+08:00

Ytd Night Cycling OG mini gathering.. 6 out of 10 went for the dinner at Heeren Vilage.. Others couldn't make it as they have their own commitment.. As suggested by Debbie, each of us have to bring a Xmas gift to exchange.. haha.. i bought a mouse wrist support thingy.. i think it was a gd gift as all of us use computer quite frequently.. In the end, Debbie took my gift.. i jokingly told her that she shouldn't chose my gift as she doesn't even have internet connection.. haha.. guess what? she told me she could use it when she playing solitaire.. Erm.. ok.. haha.. i took Eric's gift.. i don't know what it is called.. but is something for you to hit against your back when u r tired.. ya.. hmm.. Desmond bought an interesting gift with the word "Be Safe" on its cover.. yah at first we thought it was...Erm.. haha.. but actually it was sun-block or sun-tanned thing..

After Dinner, we made our way to Cine and meet Jason and his gf after his work.. We watched Alvin N ChipMunks.. It was a nice show.. bring back some of the childhood memories.. haha.. I love the songs.. they were nice and catchy..!! think i'll rate 7/10 for it.. =)

2007-12-09T19:26:00.000+08:00

Ytd went to Ying Rong's 21st Birthday Celebration at NTU Alumni Club's Lounge (somwhere near Bouna Vista MRT station). Timothy, Eric, Desmond, Debbie and I went. The rest were either working or couldn't make it. Desmond came late because he was attending wine appreciation workshop. Didn't know Christina was attending too until she smsed me. She asked me to help her scold Desmond for PS her halfway thru the workshop. But i didn't help her.. =X haha..

The ambience was really good. Definitly 1 of the best place for a celebration like this. The theme was "Spring" but we didn't dress according to the theme except for desmond who eventually and surprising won the "Best Dress" for the male. Haha.. The guys kept "Suan-ing" Debbie thru out the night.. She was the youngest and only ger who went.. So ya.. Anyway she doesn't mind also.. haha.. Somehow it becomes like a habit to the guys.. The foods were really good.. A++..!! One of the best buffet i ever ate.. We took quite a number of pictures also.. Now waiting for Ying Rong to send me.. Will upload some when i receive.. =)

Had prata for supper and that was my final Carbo loading.. guess what? the very next day i had a slight diaherroa.. Damn it..!! Should have listen to Khai Yau that "minight" curry cannot be trusted.. Nvm.. I slept at 3am and woke up slightly before 10am.. about 6hr ++ of sleep.. din wan to sleep too late as i afraid that i may not be able to sleep early on Saturday Night.. The whole of Saturday i was doing nth but stay at home... thinking of the race ahead.. had MacDonald for dinner.. Go to bed at 930pm.. Guess What? i couldn't sleep.. i keep turning and tossing... Without realising it was already 2am.. This is crazy... CRappY Night.!! No ChoicE but to wake up at 3am.. had 2 breads and watched Arsenal win against A.Villa... While watching i felt tired.. Nono.. i can't fall alseep.. Took a shower.. do some light stretching and dad fetch me to Tampines stadium.. Met Jeremy and Khai Yau.. board the Bus and reached Padang at 5am.. *SiGH* we reached there kinda late, bag deposit was crowded no time for "real" warm up.. all we did was just some light jogging (to the toilet) and stretching... din really do a proper warming up.. CRaP..!!! There were alot of runners for the 42k.. was standing at the back initially.. but jeremy and i squeeze here and there.. halfway thru, the race started.. The problem why i dun like to start at the back is 'cos there are alot of slow runners infront.. i not saying tt i'm fast.. but having to overtake the slightly slower one, took alot of effort... Anyway we found a path on the left tt can lead us all the way to the front.. we jogged our way to the front and b4 i reached the starting point, Jeremy shouted at me.. Gd luck for ur race..!! Wow.. =)

Race Day: 0-10km
Start my watch and off i go.. started slow... feeling gd.. the wind was kinda strong and this makes the run slightly tough.. but still ok.. My foucs is to follow the 4hr Pacer team.. couldn't see any distance marker.. so have to gauge my own speed.. Slowly i passed all the pacer team until i reached Marina steamboat area and i saw the 4hr pacer team.. They are season runners and that explain their excellent pacing.. they really makes me felt more confident..
Time Checked: 10km - 54mins

Race Day: 10-21km
Coming out from Marina South.. Passed CBD.. i feel really strong and gd.. decided to go slightly faster.. i was thinking stay in between the 345 and 4hr pacer team.. so that at least i still know i'm well within my target.. But... i can't believe that there were another two 4hr pacers right infront.. oh dear.. this is bad... nvm.. i follow the more "forward" 4hr pacers.. Wow.. as i follow them.. i really felt like god.. as in Happy.. The surrounding runners look very focus and serious.. YEs.!! This in turn help to motivate one another runners to keep up the pace.. we were going at arn 5.30min/km.. Reached ECP at arn 18km and crossed the 21km marker somewhere near MacDonald.. Still feeling gd..
Time Checked: 21km - 1hr55mins

Race Day: 21 - 30km
Along the way some of the runners who were following the 4hr pacer team, beginning to slow down.. But somehow i still manage to follow the pacers.. Quad and calf beginning to feel tight.. Oh No..!! I don't wan that cramping feeling to spoil my run again.. i slow down after the U Turn Point and ate the power gel at 26km.. The pacers were abt 10m infront of me.. After i took the gel, i grad some deep heat and apply on my Quad.. i knew i was going to get cramp... but i told myself no matter what i must follow the pacers till i get out of ECP.. Guess what? i slow down consistently after 28km and at 30km i started to walk due to cramp.. TMD..!!!!!!!!
Time Checked: 30km - 2hr46Mins

Race Day: 30 - 42.195km
I looked at my watch 2hr46mins at 30km.. and was quite confident tt i will be able to complete the last 12km within 1hr 10mins.. But i was totally WRONG WRONG WRONG..!!!!! The Deep Heat didn't seem to help much after 33km... More and More runners ran passed me.. and that really demoralise me.. i looked at my watch and i knew my target is abt to vanish.. ARGH!!!! i think i was too tired.. miss out some distance marker.. i tot i reach 36km(6km more) at 3hr30mins.. but was surprise that it was actually the 37km marker.. doing some calculation.. hmm.. i tot i could still make it so i tried to take lesser "walk" break and hopefully can finished in 4hr.. But the Sun was too Hot to handle.. Felt really sleepy after tt.. at some point, i was jogging with my eyes shut.. hAiz... in the end i completed my miserable Marathon in 4hr 8mins.. the last 5km in 38mins.. KaOZ..!! tt was super duper slow..
Time Checked: 42.195km - 4hr 08mins

Although i did achieve a PB.. but this is not what i've been aiming for.. Was Seriously Totally Disappointed... Anyway, need to thank the pacers team for guiding me throughout the 1st 30km.. The volunteers who spent almost half a day for this event and lastly all the RUNSPIRATION for cheering the runners.. :) haha... OH Ya..!! need to thank 1 of Road Marshall who was cheering for me along Republic Ave.. i was totally Shut down along that stretch think arn 39km.. but still could hear her voice.. Sorry for ignoring u.. :)

Finally....

AVIVA 70.3 HALF IRONMAN

2007-09-03T13:44:00.000+08:00

I HAVE DONE IT..!! I completed my 1st ever HALF IRONMAN and is a step closer to my dream.. yes..!! HALF IRONMAN consist of 1.9km of Swim, 90.1km of Bike and 21.1km of Running.. 2 Sept 07 shall be a history in my life.. The best race i ever had..

Pre-Race
On friday, i went to collect my H.I.M race pack at Millenia walk and purchased an event tee.. After which went for the briefing with Kk and Aero from sgrunners.. loneshark wasn't there as he was still busy in his office.. After briefing go home sort the things out.. and prepare my Run Bag as i have to check in with my bike on Saturday at ECP.. woke up early on Saturday and cycle from my house to ECP.. check in my bike and run bag then chao.. on my way back the weather was so hot that i worried that my tyres may burst under the hot sun.. i was praying for rain.. but it didn't.. *sigH* that very night i intend to sleep at 8pm.. but i couldn't.. i was tossing and turning on my bed and finally i fell alseep arn 1+.. i dunno why this is always happen to me before any races... am i too excited or what? haha...

Race Day
Woke up at 4am, had a quick bath and ate two breads and a cup of Milo as my breakfast.. relac awhile on my sofa, then prepared my stuff and water bottles.. My dad then fetch me to ECP and reached there at 6... Wow.. T1 was damn crowded and the atmosphere was really gd.. check my bike and luckily it is okAy.. i lay out my bike gear and look for Kk, aero and loneshark.. We head to the starting area and the elite were all line up and ready for the swim.. it really exciting to watch the elite start off cos they were among the best Triathete in the world.. after the elite and ladies started the swim, it was my wave.. as usual i'm not very gd in swim or i started off somewhere near the back..

Race Day - Swim
1st thing i get into the water was get kick by a fellow participant.. well.. this is just part and parcel of triathlon.. you will get used to it.. =) i started slow in my swim as i do not want to get caught in the middle of the pack.. it is always tough for the 1st few hundreds metres as you are swimming against the current and out from the beach.. it was tough and i used a mixtures of breast and freestyles to get pass the 1st Bouy.. after the 1st bouy the sun was shining against the swim direction.. this made sighting of the 2nd bouy very very hard.. all i could do was just to follow who ever is infront of me.. if they go side way.. then gd luck to me.. haha.. i must admit i struggle during the swim even though the sea was rather calm compare to previous experiences.. as expected, some of the participants whose waves start later than mine swam passed me.. finally after about 50mins of swim, i reached the shore.. i took out my goggle and swim cap then start jogging to T1.. When i reached T1 i couldn't believe my eyes.. where are all the other competitors from my age grp category..!! there were like less than 10 bikes which means that i'm one of those last few swimmers to get out from the sea.. Felt very demoralising as i change into my bike gears.. =(

Race Day - Bike
i mount on to my bike and left T1.. along the way exit towards fort road, saw quite a number of cyclist fixing their pucture tyres.. i was so afraid that my bike will give way too as i did not carry any spare tube and pump.. after fort road, we were cycling along ECP expressway towards Marina.. Wow this was the 1st time that i ever ride on an expressway.. you can see CBD building right infront of you.. this makes the cycling more enjoyable and less painful.. after abt 8km, we had to cycle up sheares bridge.. it was tough.. but still alright.. din really put in all effort along this stretch as i still have another 80km of cycling ahead.. after 600m of upslope we were rewarded with a steep downslope.. the wind gusting against you and it is one of the best part of this bike route.. after passing marina floating platform, we had to cycle another 4 loops (marina to kallang each 20km) after marina, we have to cycle up sheares bridge again.. this make the bike route challenging.. i shifted to a lower gear and keeping my momentum as i cycle my way up.. i was over taken by a number of cyclist.. along this stretch there was a huge traffice jam due to the closure of the road.. i can't rmb during which lap, there was a grp of 3 ang moh kids wind down their window and keep shouting "Go, Go, Go..!!" they were so cute.. i look at them and gave them a smile... Yes.. this is exactly what a competitor needs at this part of the race.. "Cheers and Motivation" they were cheering so loudly that i could hear thier voice even i was 20-30 metres away from them.. i really appreciate their support... Thanks Kids!! =) during the bike, saw Kk and loneshark but didn't see aero.. maybe he was too fast.. i was hoping to overtake some of the people from my Category.. but somehow didn't.. maybe afew only.. anyway.. after abt 3hr++ of non-stop cycling, finally i reached the end point for bike.. i unclip my shoes and dismount from my bike.. there was this lady in pink who was clapping for me.. and said this to me "You did great, Yi Wei.. keep on going.." Wow.. how did she know my name.? i stunned for awhile and realised that our name is printed on the no. tag.. yes..haha..!! as usual i looked at her and returned her with a smile.. slowly make my way to T2 while the volunteer push my bike away for me.. after which i proced to T2 and change into my running shoes..

Race - Run
After 4hr of non-stop exercising, i have to complete a half-marathon 21.1km of run.. yes..!! i'm not kidding.. after i put on my shoes, i started with a slow jog.. slowly pick up abit of pace..at this time it was arn 12noon and the sun was hot.. i quite surprised that my legs didn't feel cramp.. i don't know why. usually there will be a bit of cramp.. maybe i hydrated myself alot during the bike and the day before.. i ran for abt 2km non-stop until i reach the 2nd water point.. i stop and drank a cup of water.. after tt i find it diffcult to get back the momentum again.. haiz.. shouldn't have stop.. but anyway i told myself that i'm am still well within my target of 6hr 30min.. so why not take it slow and enjoy the run instead of pushing and suffer from cramp after that.. so for the rest of the route, i run and walk..taking it slowly.. use alot of cold-sponge to cool my body down.. along the way had a few chat with some of the participants... then during the 2nd lap, rain started pouring.. the weather was very weird.. one moment it was raining heavily and the next it was very hot with the heat burning right above ur head.. after two loop of running, finally i saw the finishing line.. i slowly ran pass the finishing line with a time of 6hr 32mins.. the volunteer put on my finisher medal arn my neck and gave me my finisher towel.. yes..the feeling was gd.. felt great..!! anyway, 6hr 32min was not my net time.. this is the time base on the start time of the elite... shall wait for official result..

Luckily saw Kk at the finishing area.. was lost inside as i dunno where to return my chip and get my drinks.. he then showed me the way.. saw a milo van.. couldn't resist it so i drank 3 cups of milo at one go.. did a few mins of cool down stretching and then collect the 3 bags.. after which my dad fetch me home.. yawn!! was slightly tired but i still have the energy to meet up my friends for dinner at town.. =)

Feedback
+> Thanks to the orgainers for bringing in 70.3 HIM into Singapore.. The whole race was well managed and orgainsed.. hopefully we can have a FULL IRONMAN in near future..
+> The volunteers were great.. they did not just do the task that they were assigned well but also give support and cheers to the participants.. this makes the whole event felt gd for the us..
+> The supporters were fantastise..!! 2 thumbs up for their effort.. They even cheers for strangers like me.. really appreciate those who brave through the sun and rain just to support us...
-> There were some Senseless Singaporean who just cross the biking route even though it was close using barricage.. Pls lah.. if u see there is an event going on, why u still wanna cross it.. endanger ur life and safety of the participants.. *siGh* Why not try crossing an F1 route when they are going at a speed of 200++km/h..? Seriously i dunno what exactly some of the Singaporean are doing.. i felt ashamed too.. really some are brainless... Can't help but to condem those who tried or did cross the bike route..

Overall Experience
I'll give this race a 10/10 rating.. though it was $300++ but given the effort that they put in, it worth it.. i seriously enjoyed the whole race.. Will definitely take part again next year..!!

Lastly to The PC ATHLETES who were part of this race.. you guys have done well.. i'm very proud of you guys even though i don't know anyone of you.. Hope to see all of you taking part again next yr.. =)

It's been a long time since i last blog.. too lazy...

Last Friday went for night cycling which i really enjoyed it.. get to know more friends.. from SIM to ECP.. we played games at esplande too... seriously i was abit sleepy during the whole activity dunno why (btw sleepy doesn't mean not enjoying myself).. but once i reached home, i had a hard time trying to sleep.. hmm.. still waiting for Joyce to send Me the pics..

Anyway completed AHM ytd.. was a great run as i hit my PB (1Hr 40Mins 13Secs) but not my target.. My target is under 1hr40m.. even 1hr 39m59sec will be gd.. but 14secs off.. was kinda disappointed.. maybe lack of sleep? btw i only slept for half an hour.. can u believe this? i woke up at 1230pm on sat noon then for tt night i couldn't sleep even though i was lying on my bed from 11pm till 2am.. WTH..!! then wake up at 3am.. bathed then breakfast and took a cab with Khai yau to Marina Floating Platform.. reached there 430am met LTA Ray and get my running tee.. i was running for my formation (Combat E) as NSmen.. haha.. though i know we wouldn't get top 3 becuase 2PDF and CDO are always the ones who claim the Top spot.. hmm.. saw alot of my ex campmates.. the feeling was great.. really happy to see all of them..

Anyway i did some light jogging and stretching with the members, then we head towards the starting point.. Once flag off, wei jun and i were running side by side.. we were pacing one another.. and i must admit tt to have a pacer beside u is great.. we were helping each other to go abit faster.. from shears bridge to fort road then ECP... suddenly there a guy wearing blue singlet starting to run beisde us.. hmm.. i look at him and realise he is Louis from ODAC.. he damn ZAI.. wanted to say hi but he was listening to his Mp3.. so better not disturb.. after 12k i had a slight sitch.. have to slow down my pace abit and slowly wei jun run ahead of me.. shit man.. i lost a pacer.. but nvm Louis still beisde me.. we pace each other till somewhere near fort road and i realise my calf is getting harder.. i have to slow to prevent cramps.. then from 16k onwards i lost another great pacer.. *SiGh* from 18km onwards i dunno why i just couldn't increase my speed.. each time i trying to increase my pace but my legs will feel like cramping.. then i maintain my pace and finally sprint to the finishing point during the last 300m.. after i cross the finishing point, Louis come and say thank to me.. for pacing him... haha..

Overall this run was great.. the route was good.. water points are up to standard.. 2 thumbs up for this.. this is indeed a great warm up for my Half Ironman next wk.. YEap!!

ORD Mood..!!!!!

2007-06-07T14:40:00.000+08:00

Alright..!! finally it time for me to get out of SAF.. i gonna get sack on 8 jun 07.. Yes..!! that's my ORD Date.. Life has nv felt so gd for the past 2 yrs.. able to sleep late, more freedom, less "shit" work and more running time, are what i've been looking for..

The month of May has been a diffcult month for me esp for ORD-ing personnel.. There are special assignments given to me by my boss and can't really have the ORd Mood.. But nvm.. just bear for a while more and i'll be free.. Dunno why, my boss has been shouting in the office.. so unlike of her.. maybe stress due to NDP? her Children Exam? or maybe even us.. May has not been a peaceful month for my department.. seem like mines are lay everywhere in the office.. any wrong step you take, may lead to explosion..

Tmr i going back to camp to collect back my Pink IC.. miss it so much.. YEs.. Finally!!!!!!!

1st Post for yr 2007

2007-04-28T22:09:00.000+08:00

Lazy is the word to describe me for the past 5 mths.. Just too lazy to blog abt anything.. Anyway.. As my ORD is coming nearer and nearer, i'll try to blog as often as possible to let those people who doesn't know what is the feeling of ORDing Personnel... Below are some of the important stuffs which i can remember back since Dec 06..

Dec 06
- Completed my 2nd Marathon with a time of 4hr 15min 51sec.. This time round, there were a few friends accompany me.. The weather was cooling and also the training that i put in was not what i planned to do.. though i didn't hit my target of sub 4, but the result is still satifactory..

:: With Wei Lun and Jeremy at SCSM 06 ::

- Shift to Temp Office at HQ Armceg. Sitting with my S1 inside a small compartment.. i dislike it cos no much freedom.. can't really take a break whenever i feel i need to. othrwise she may find me slack.. Anyway there wasn't anything to do also.. Guess that whole SAF was in Holiday mood.. also OA down due to virus.. wtf..!!

Jan 07
- Got my new understudy.. He is those Ang Moh Type.. Find it hard to communicate at first as my English is those "half pail water" type.. But gd also can take this chance to improve.. Seriously there nth much for him to do.. i myself also has nth much to do also.. Basically Jan is a slack month..

Feb 07
- Chinese New Yr.. Super long weekend.. Back in my "FatherLand" Gelang Patah in JB.. The mood wasn't the same as of previous yr.. This is the 1st time we celebrating CNY without my Ah Ma.. Haiz...

- NUS Biathlon 07 was held at ECP for the 1st time.. My Swim as usual was sucks think among the last few to come up? i'm not sure as i didn't even bother to turn back and take a look.. but really enjoy my run.. overtook quite a number of people... was happy with my run timing too.. din expect to run under 47mins for 10km non-stop right after a diffcult and tiring 1.5km Swim...
Guess those pretty NUS Volunteers really helps..!! Haha..

- UIP..Sianz kena scolded by CO because of this.. i can't believe it..!! it wasn't even my fault then he scolded me? i was so fucking angry.. Maybe cos i'm a poly student and he treats JC officers better? i duno.. but i felt it that way.. after that he realised he scolded the wrong person.. CCB..!! Do nothing also kena gun shot..!! Sibei disappointed..!! After this incident i feel that he treats me differently.. i guess he doesn't like me.. i could tell.. from various incidents since i step into Seletar..

Mar 07
- KL Marathon 07 was my 3rd Marathon so far..!! Travel to KL with Khai Yau on Sat Morning and we reached there arn 2+.. My objectives for this trip were to complete the marathon and relax.. what i meant by relax is to eat and eat and eat.. I wacked alot on food as they are really cheap.. what u get over there is twice of what u got in SG.. How i wish i am staying in Malaysia.. the lifestyle is less stressful and slightly slower pace than SG.. Singapore anything also need $$.. Even GST, Bus Fare, Taxi Fare and whatever stuff that controlled by Government also wanna increase.. If i was given a choice, i dun mind being a Malaysian.. but having said all these, i'm still proud to be a Singaporean.. Haha.. Ok Better Dun OT.. Hmm.. Din really train much for this marathon.. Was aiming for around 4hr 30mins.. anything lesser is a bonus.. Wake up at 0230 to bathe and get ready for the run which start at 0430.. Merdeka Square is a beautiful place.. abit like SG Padang.. Anyway, to me the run was tougher than Singapore.. The up and down slopes is a killer.. there were already a few slops during the 1st few km.. and this is what i called challenge..!! Hmm the good thing was that the race start at 0430.. it very early and most of the time was running without the sun.. After running 25km non-stop, i started to few the heat.. it was arn 7 and the weather seem like 8+.. No choice but to walk and run.. drank alot of Water to keep myself hydrated.. the orgainser provide cold Sponge which SCSM doesn't.. The running route is very Swee!! can see different sides of KL.. Along 40+km i was having a slight cramp and then i started to walk. There was this uncle who suddenly ran and stop beside me.. We started to have a short chat.. He told me this was this 1st full marathon and he find it kinda diffcult to run. He mentioned the weather was too hot for him to handle.. Then i asked: "UNcle How old R u?" He Replied: "47." i was like "Wahz!!!" In order to give him more confident, i told him that alot of poeple at his age are already slacking at home and yet you can do a marathon is something really amazing.. Ohya he was beside me.. meaning his timing was about the same as mine.. aiyo.. felt so paiseh.. Before i left him behind, i said:" Jia You Uncle, Yao Dao Liao." (Dun give up, you are reaching the finishing point soon) He gavce me a smile and that the last time i saw him.. As i ran towards the finishing line, there was this group of ang moh later cheering for me.. i was so motivated then i keep on increasing my pace.. after tt i heard one of them shouted:"Come'on, run faster!! there's a Tsunami right behind you." once i heard tt i couldn't stop laughing inside my heart.. Yes..! i dashed thru the finishing line and guess what?? My timing was 4hr 17Mins!! Haha.. Bare in mind that i didn't train much for this.. i was so happy..!!
When i was waiting near the ending point for Khai Yau, there was this Singaporean sitting beside me and had a short conversation.. Finally Khai Yau reached the finishing point and we head towards the milo trucks for free flow of Milo..!! We Walked back to Hotel and after lunch, we slept.. Then next day was just slacking and eating and came back to SG on Monday evening..

Apr 07
- Got promoted to LTA.. No different except for the allowance.. Apr is a boring month.. there are new recuits coming in.. other than that nth much to highlight.. Will be back in May..!!

I'm Back..!

2006-11-19T17:01:00.000+08:00

It been almost 2 mths since i last blog.. i was simply lazy, tired and busy to update anything over here.. Lazy is beacause i was tired and wanna rest and relac.. tried is because of the time i spent in office and all the run.. busy is beacuase i'm just too busy with the work and had to find time training for my marathon.. Yes..! I mean running.. almost everyday i leave camp at arn 7pm. reach home at 8.. then go for run till 10. Dinner, showering then Surf net awhile, sleep arn 12.. Wake up at 6.. Sometimes when i reached home too late, no choice but to skip my training. This daily routine is the reason why i look tired in the office.. I got no choice, i just love running so much..

Quite a number of things had happen during these two mths..

1) Inter Coy x country - It was a 7km run along seletar camp compound.. i wasn't confident of coming in the top few as i have not been running short distance for quite sometimes.. But in the end got 2nd.. hmm.. quite happy.. was leading all the way till 6km.. the last 1 km over took by a 3SG.. he was really fast.. i could have running side by side with him to the finishing point, but i couldn't.. guess it was the breakfast.. few like puking whenever i trying to run faster.. my heart felt the pain too.. not too sure if it was the heart but there is this pain somewhere near my chest.. no choice but to slow down..

2) Inter Engineer Unit x country - It was also a 7km run but was at macritche.. came in 12.. was disappointed with the run.. don't know why.. guess they were really fast.. after 1 mins from the start line i was like 50m away from the 1st guy.. anyway... the terrain was tough but challenging.. my timing was arn 28mins..

3) 22 Sep - It was sad day.. my ah ma passed away.. the last time i saw her was in august.. she's 80 this yr.. heard this news in the morning.. i didn't cry or anything.. cos i'm already mentally prepared.. all of us were expecting it.. it's just the matter of time.. applied two days leaves and went back to Johor on the day itself.. reached my ah ma house.. saw all my relative.. all seem fine.. managed to see all of my cousins and relatives.. we hardly get to see each other so i'm glad to see them.. hmm.. some of which i have not even see b4.. we chat alot.. cos there is nth much of us to do.. anyway.. it over.. nth much to talk about also..

4) Informal Punishment Book - Kena scolded by CO beacuse of this book.. cos he think i'm a slacker and irresponsible guy.. alright i may be slack but i'm definitely not an irresponsible person.. anyway.. fuck la.. scolded me so loud that ever outside his office people could hear.. lazy to elabrate also.. wanna find out just ask me!

5) 2nd link bridge run - Two yrs ago this was the every 1st public running event that i joined.. it was a 10km run.. Love this run.. though it was bloody far away from where i stay, but i enjoy it.. the route itself is a challenge.. the up and down slope was physically demanding.. Anyway timing was 42mins++ hmm.. happy with it..

Been counting down to 3 Dec.. Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon.. Yes..! it finally here..!! two more weeks to go.. so excited.. altogether i have run arn 300km so far since Sep.. each of like 15-20+ km.. Can't wait any longer..!!Trying to aim for the 4 hr barrier.. got this feeling i wont be able to hit under 4.. but i will try.. Seriously i got this feeling i will finished arn 4hr 15 mins like that.. we shall see.. =)

Wake up at arn 8+ to prepared myself for another 1.5km swim plus 10km run.. wave starting at arn 12noon.. cannot imagine how am i going to tackle the heat.. hmm.. took down some of the sgrunner bid no. and hopefully can spot some of them.. reach ECP arn 11.. saw ripley. she was wearing a red man u jersey.. our camera man for that day =) was at the TA for like 15mins before loneshark and kk came.. chat with them and do some warming up together.. took pics with them too.. at arn 12+, we went to our starting point and do some warm up siwm.. the sea was gd.. not that choppy as compare to SG Bia.. got this feeling that i will get out of the sea kind fast.. once my wave start, as usual i started out at the back.. kena kick and wack haha.. normal..
Din have much diffcult in this swim.. was able to swim quite comfortably.. after swim ran straight to TA.. saw loneshark and kk chainging their shoe.. i put on my top and shoes then off i go.. the sun was hot.. i ran as normal as i could.. had just recovered from my knee injuries so didn't wan to push that much also.. in the end i stop for 1 time nia.. which was like 100m before the finishing line.. dunno why feel like puking and had to walk for like 10m before i dash my way through the finishing line.. the time was 45min for my run.. swim arn 30mins.. feel gd abt my timing.. but alot of the participants felt that the race course is actually shorter than usual.. which i somehow agreed though.. Overall it was a gd race.. =)

2006-08-27T18:33:00.000+08:00

So Sad.. Registered for this race and yet i can't take part.. feel so disappointed.. Cos my unit is organising this event therefore have to help out.. Was at Padang since Sat.. was helping out at the bag deposit area.. there are alot of people.. i wasn't given any assigned task as i'm a last min insert.. guess i should have told them i have registered for this race.. but think abt it.. everyone in the unit is busy preparing for this event, how i can possibly not helping and go and enjoyed myself running right? anyway din help much also.. by right there should be a four hours break for dinner but because of some commanders who are late for vetting the bad deposit booth and we had to take turn go for dinner.. what a poor planning.. in the end my guys were very angry and pissed.. in the end zheng an and me went for dinner and we bought pizza for the rest.. stay over night at padang and tok cock throughout the night.. we walked to funan then to esplanade.. there basically nth much to do during the night.. spent 1hr plus beside sg river.. enjoying the sea breeze and toking cock with maurice.. looking over to sheares bridge, saw people preparing the road for the race.. i can't believed that i gonna miss this race.. argh..!! anyway the 1st participant came to our booth at around 3.30am .. wow that was early.. after that wander arn the area.. saw adam and we chatted for a while.. before he went to the starting point.. saw quite alot of sgrunner but too bad i din know their names.. sleep for awhile and arn 6.45am i went to the starting point hoping to witness the 1st few runners.. but too bad i was slightly late by the time i reach there the few runners had already finished.. couldn't believe it.. they are fast.. guess much faster than last year.. was wondering if the route is slightly shorter or what.. was at the finishing line till 8+.. saw alot runners passing through the finishing line.. each time i saw a runner running pass, i imagine myself finishing it..! i really love to participate in this race.. i really feel very sad at that moment.. anyway.. saw a few sgrunner doing well for this race.. saw TLR too.. he was fast.. took a pic with him at the finishing point.. anyway after the race.. was busying packing up.. tot tt we can finished up by 12 but due to poor planning, everything drag till 3+.. it was then where my guys were finally released and really to go home.. was tired.. but overall it was an experience.. a sucky experience..

New Balance Real Run 06

2006-08-20T15:52:00.000+08:00

After watching late night soccer, woke up in the morning feeling rather tired.. Jin and Yau stay over at my place.. We ate come bread before i sent jin home.. Jeremey was staying arn tam so i fetch him along to go Sentosa for our run.. i still remembered that last yr there was a huge jam so this yr i tried to wake up early to beat the jam but seem like i have failed.. reached there wah! the Jam was so long.. after for like few minute i quite worried tt we may be late so i drive straight all the way and make one big u turn as i try to enter frm the other side.. after U-turn pick up wei lun and within few mins, we reached the gate of sentosa.. seem like i make a right move.. as usual alot of beautiful girls.. haha.. anyway once i parked the car, we straight away walk towards the starting point.. when we reached the starting point, they flaged off for the open Cat.. the crowded was so huge that it took about to 7mins for the partipants to clear the starting point.. we even had time for our warm-up and toilet break.. can u believe it? Samuel and his friends were late.. so din wait for him.. jeremy, wei lun and i keept close to one another until the 4km mark where we starting to split.. Yau was behind us.. reach the sand area.. and alot of people slow down.. felt so gd as i take this opportunity to overtake them.. was abit irritate as there r people who really walk and doesn't even give way to those who actually wants to run.. for the last 2 km, i increased my speed and dash all the way to the finishing line.. finish the run slightly below 50mins.. was happy with it as my legs just recovered.. but i still felt slight pain in my right knee.. took a can of 100 plus and just walked arn the area.. guess what? i saw Alvin lai.. my sec sch classmate.. so gd to see him.. had a short chat before he went off to look for his friends.. saw quite afew sgrunners too.. Before we left i walked towards them and wanted to chat with a few of the sgrunners.. but dun have the chance cos once i reached there they were preparing to take grp pic.. and i joined them for the grp pic.. lolz..
After the pics session four of us went to the hawker centre opp harbour front and eat then i fetch jeremy and yau home.. Next wk is the AHM.. excited..!! but most likely i'm not running.. Haiz..

NUS Triathlon

2006-08-13T18:42:00.000+08:00

What a race..! Swim 1.5km Cycle 60km and run for 15km.. really feel gd abt this race.. really enjoyed myself despite i was walking most of the time for my 15km run.. My dad fetched me to ECP at arn 6.. Went to get my race kit but they couldn't find mine.. in the end they gave me a spare one.. went inside the transition area and layout my stuff.. Prepare finish then went to the start area and do some war-up.. saw TLR and chat with him for awhile.. at arn 0745 my wave started.. as usual kena kicks from all direction.. kinda used to it so it okie.. haha.. swam 3 loops of 500m after which i ran towards the TA.. put on my shoes, top and helmet then dismount my bike.. slowly steady and off i go.. nv tired cycling 60km b4 and i din train for this race also.. the last time i cycled was druing Osim tri and that was 40km.. this time round the cycling route is different.. participants are able to cycle thru esplande area and by-pass suntec.. was really enjoyed myself when cycling although there was stoppages by the TP at most of the critical traffice junction.. somehow the stop destoryed the triathlete momentum and i could hear them complaining.. nvm.. i'm not going for top places also.. haha so i dun really bother.. after cycling for abt like 30km+ seem like i was all by myself for the rest of the cycling leg.. most of them had already or abt to complete the bike leg and only afew of us struggling keeping our bike going.. i took abt 2hr and 30mins to complete the bike leg.. wah kao that was really slow..! hmm.. dismount from my bike and my legs were like jelly.. can't stand properly.. nvm.. mount my bike and then start my 15km running.. abt 200m after the TA saw TLR running back.. wow he was fast.. and the smile on his face shows that 15km is nth to him.. after running for about 4km, i felt the pain on my right knee again.. sibei sianz.. then for the rest 10km+, i was walking and running.. some ladies even ran past me.. wah lau..!! felt so paiseh.. but what to do my knee can go on anymore no point pushing myself too hard also.. in the end took a pathetic timing of 4hr and 40min to finsih the whole race.. this was even slower than my 42km marathon.. anyway was glad that i was able to complete this.. was aiming for under 4hr initially but my knee haiz.. anyway now i just hope that my knee can recover fully.. and all set for the next Sun NBRR..!!

35 SCE Vertical Marathon

2006-08-06T19:08:00.000+08:00

This yr for our unit anniversary, we had a vertical marathon held at suntec city on 3rd Aug..

Once it my turn i quickly dash my way up.. after i reach 10 storey, i was kinda dizzy.. the stairs were in one direction.. keep turning and turning and turning.. once i reached 40 storey i looked at my watch it was 6mins.. in the end i complete 44 storey in 6min51secs.. think it was quite an ok timing bah.. in the end i came in 5th overall in my unit.. hmm.. $20 suntec vouchor haha.. at least better than nth.. :)

2006-07-23T15:14:00.000+08:00

Finally BMPC has ended.. During the last wk, we had two simple exercise where we put all the things that we learned during the Ops phase into use.. Got quite a number of calculation stuff and some planning.. i must said those captains damn Zai.. wahz no wonder they r regular..!! Up la.!!

Just completed Mizuno Wave run.. Last yr miss it due to POP rehearsal.. also this is the 3rd yr Mizuno is organising this run.. come to think of it.. i participated during the 1st yr and now is already the 3rd yr..!! so fast... 3 yrs already.. hmm.. as usual there alot of poeple.. i was starting at the back and once the race flag off, i had a hard time cutting left and right just to overtake those really not tt fast people.. in the end i finished it arn 45mins.. think is not a bad timing considering tt my knee still hurt and along the way i did slow down a little in order not to strain my legs.. =) Once i rewch the end point, i Q up to redeem the goodies bag.. was surprise that the competitive Q was kinda long and there hardly anyone q-ing at the non-com side.. hmm.. think that the benfit of joing the non-com instead of com bah.. Saw TLR at the finishing line and had a short chat with him.. After that went for breakfast with my friends at the hawker centre just beside the interchange.. Haiz.. miss out on the grp pic with sgrunners again.. nvm.. there are still alot of events in the future.. =)

2006-07-12T19:26:00.000+08:00

Basic Manpower Course..!!

2006-07-08T22:20:00.000+08:00

This whole wk was attending Manpower course at Kabit Camp.. u must be wondering what's there to learn abt MP stuff.. hmm.. there alot of things to learn.. but somehow i feel tt it doesn't concern much abt what i'll be doing as a Dy.. The stuff during Admin phase is more for the role as S1.. anyway Was caught sleeping during class.. alamak..!! used to it anyway.. during poly up to my cadet life.. i even lost count on the no. of times tt i was caught sleeping.. but frankly speaking some of the lesson were really bored.. even the others also could not defeat the ZZzz monster.. HAha.. Raymond and me Champion.. think we r the top in class for getting caught dozing off.. actaully we were just unlucky.. really..!! other sleep also din get cuaght.. We visited the DB this wk.. the place was like hell.. the cell is damn small and have to squeeze 3 people.. then the toilet bowl is just right infront of where u gonna sleep.. haiz.. those who kena send to DB are really stupid..!!

Well.. went for a run on Tue.. did a 18km run for abt 1hr31mins.. think i push too hard on my legs.. in the end my knee hurts.. damn it..!! stupid..!! should have rest but i didn't.. imagine i jus finished an OD Triathlon then two days later went for a 18km run? This is normal for pro.. but me still a noob.. haiz.. was limping all the way.. can't even climb the staircase properly on the next day.. then on thurs i go test my legs again.. was really piss off.. ran not even 800m and i give up.. my knee was in pain.. On Fri i felt tt my legs was ok so i did a run.. for abt 2km, i felt the pain in my knee again.. but i ignore it.. i kept running for another 4km.. after the run, my knee hurt a little.. fark it la.. then went to play soccer with my buddies.. after the game.. my knee hurt like nv b4.. i regret for not letting my legs to rest.. haiz..

Osim Singapore Triathlon..

2006-07-02T20:58:00.000+08:00

YEs i did it.. my 1st ever OD Triathlon.. completed in a miserable time of 3hr and 6 mins.. haiz.. my target was sub 3.. but think of it ar.. without much training and i slept for abt 3 hrs.. ok la.. timing can be forgiven.. Haha..

The swim was ok.. i felt that it was much better than the swim during Sg Biathlon.. though it was the same dist after the swim i still feel kinda relac.. ofcos la.. cos i swim slow mah.. tt y not siong.. get out of the water and ran along the "bridge" and over to the transition area.. pick up my bike and off i go.. 1st round of cycle still ok.. 2nd round abit tired but still ok.. but 3rd and 4th rounds.. haha.. i slow down quite alot.. i din dare to cycle fast cos i scare tt i will not be able to run smoothly during the 10k.. somemore it was arn 2 the Sun was damn hot..!!! hmm.. back at the transition area parked my bike and run liao.. 1st 2k was kinda hard.. but after tt the momentum start to pick up.. over all i think i stop abt 6 times to drink water.. can't take it.. it was hot..

After crossing the finishing line.. i was kinda tired.. but still manage to walk.. took a bottle of H2O and sat at a near by bench.. i kept looking at the finisher medal and i really feel great abt completing this race.. thought it cost me $85 but the sense of satifaction and achievement worth more than tt.. the organiser OSIM and TAS were excellent.. the atmosphere was great..

Rest for awhile go bathe then cycled back home.. from East Coast to Pasir Ris.. wahaHahAha..

Changing Bunk..!!

2006-03-12T19:49:00.000+08:00

This week was packed with practical and theory lesson. We did booby-trap and also bridge survey.. For the bridge survey, it is slightly different from what i expect.. Before i went, i thought was just using measuring tape and measure. It sound easy but due to the hot weather and time constraint, it makes the activites even tougher.

On Wednesday night, platoon 2 and 4 change their bunks.. sianz me from platoon 2, so had to change.. now we had a wing staying at two different end of a building.. this make communication very diffcult lor.. 7 mins also jia lat later had to run across the building.. also sianz..

KNN i increase my speed and over take her.. bleah.. she behind me le.. haha.. but after 1km or so.. bo bian legs going to cramp.. so i slow down and she over take me.. wah lau totally demoralise.. nvm la.. just continue my ran at a steady pace and soon reached the finishing line le.. once i stopped.. my legs cramp like siao.. i can't even bent my legs.. if i bent, i feel tt my muscles gonna tears.. that how tight my muscles is.. stand for abt 3mins before i eventually sat down.. did some cooling down and head on to the transition area to collect my stuffs.. watched the prize presentation and then cycle to Tampines and met jin for lunch..

Really a good race.. i love it.. i can't wait for more races to come.. ohh gonan be back at ECP on 28 Feb for Wing outing.. oh ya cycle and run again for our outing.. cool.. hope my legs can recover in time..

As i was driving i kept wondering if i gonna make it for the swim. Swimming is the weakest out of all the discipline.. cos i hardly swim ever since i enlisted into the Army.. well just try my best afterall the water in sentosa is quite calm.. hopefully.. =)

Look for a parking lot and walk my way to the beach.. was kinda surprise that it was so quiet.. thought that i may see some babes or any other people playing on the beaches, suntanning or anything.. hmm.. get my race tag and prepared myself for the race.. warm-up abit and the race start.. ofcos kena kicks la.. it part and parcel of swimming in the open.. beside kena Kicks all these the swim was generally alright.. finished my swim abt 40mins later i wore my shoes and started running le.. the sun was bloody hot.. it almost 12 leh.. bo bian just have to carry on.. ran passed quite a few participants haha.. for the last 2km, i increase my speed.. the feeling was shiok man when u see yourself running passed those participants.. the feeling is real great u must experience it urself then u will get what i mean.. reach this U-Turn point din expect it to be so near if not i would have increase my speed a little more.. after the U-Turn point, i ran all my heart out.. cross the finishing line, walk arn and slowly relac my legs.. go take a shower and met up with Jin for lunch.. after that went buy 4-D my Tag number 7238 i-bet.. Hopefully will Strike ar.. Praying hard..

haha.. just now arn 7pm i listen to the radio 2nd prize 7823.. i stunned for a moment and think abt it.. oh ya i buy i-bet ar.. that mean 24 permutations.. haha.. won $124 nia.. but better than nth lor.. share with jin so each of us get $62.. ok la.. atleast got strike.. hmm get ready for booking le..

Almost Dead..

2006-02-12T14:02:00.000+08:00

Let me tell u this.. i had never been so lucky b4.. NEVER EVER.. i was almost crush by the Panels.. a 3 pics panels weigh abt 800kg and it almost landed on top of me.. please read on if u wanna know what happen..

Erm ok on Monday we continue with the APB.. after finished the body part, we had to lauch it across the gap.. abt 20+ of us trying to lauch the bridge but we only manage to lauch it halfway.. in the end our OC asked the rest from the other 2 platoons to help us.. without much effort we managed to lauch it to the far bank.. cool ar.. 50+ guys pushing a 15tons plus body.. after lauching, we did the decking.. our OC kept rushing us.. my buddy was the CPC and i was the CPS.. we helped one another for the decking part.. it was arn 8+ when we did the decking.. it was fu*king heavy.. 4 guys carrying a pic of steel weigh abt 100+ kg.. it may sound easy but imagine abt 20+ guys taking turns and carried abt 70+ of decks and 30+ ramps.. all of us were damn fu*king tired.. arms almost cramps legs almost break.. though i was the CPS but i can't just let my friends do the suffering alone.. i helped them.. finished decking arn 12+ went back to bed and next morning continued again.. in morning we took 2 pics with the APB cos it our hard work together with our sweat..haha.. then for the last day basically we have to dismantle what we had done for the passed 3 days of exercise.. wahz.. paingz..

From morning to night we work non-stop except for meal break.. slightly arn minight when we were dismantling the panels, something happend.. i was standing infront of the panel and watching others dismantling the right side of the bridge.. suddenly the panel infront of me started to move and when i looked up i realised that the panel is coming my way.. it gonna land on my side.. after stunned for 1 sec, i took 3 steps back and jumped away from the panel.. i landed on my butt and was in shocked.. the loud bang attract everyone attention and all of them came running towards my direction.. i looked on my left i saw my friend land in between the hole of the panel.. and both of us were lucky that we r still alive.. can't believe it.. i looked on my feet and the panel was just a few inches away from it..imagine i react 1 sec slower.. *phew* it was so freaking scary.. thank god that some of my friends who were supposed to be on my side went for water break.. if not.. haiz.. after the incident, we realised that is was my platoon mate who unscrew the panel and causes the whole panel to collaspe.. Hengz.. i was really lucky to be able to blog right now..

On Sat we had it burned again cos of Demo Live Firing.. sad man.. =(

On Wed and Thur, we had theory lessons on this bridge and on Fri and Sat were the practical.. we build until almost 1am and manage to get to bed at arn 2 and woke up at 5+ and the constructing process continue.. This is really tiring.. wearing SBO without rifle standing in the middle of an unshelter environment and had to fight against the stupid afternoon heat from the sun.. wah piang ah.. Engineer ar Kinda siong sia!! There were shouting and scolding from the instructors here and there cos of our mistakes or safety breach.. seriously i can't imagine if any of the part drop on us.. confirm plus chop is either u die or remain in wheelchair for the rest of ur life.. some part weigh as much as 480kg.. but *hengz* got 2 cranes to help us, not like those olden days where they use manual method.. haha.. Next week more to come.. cos is the decking part.. i really cannot imagine.. please god.. let me get through this quickly..

Seven Minutes..!!

2006-01-28T21:22:00.000+08:00

7 mins, 7 mins..!!! that what we have been shouting for most of this week.. KNN.. 7 mins turn out is one of the famous thing that a Combat E officer will experience.. On Monday i was away for guard duty.. it my 1st duty and was like heaven as compare to the life in CTW.. there a TV and internet connection inside the guard house.. cool right.. din expect this also.. i was the Guard 3 doing the Sentry.. tired man.. while arn 8+ i herad from fellow cadet that back at wingline they will having a 7 mins turn out.. at 1st they change into civil.. thought having night-out but in the end change to full battle order.. and start of 7 mins.. L-touch not working sign 3.. i was stun.. that's OC standard.. can't imagine..!!

Tueday morning i was back after guard duty 1st thing i reach wingline.. KNN 7 mins... sianz go up get my FBO and ready for inspection.. altogether up and down for 6 times.. cos our packs are not standardise and some were fu**ing slow.. as a cadet u can't expect this kind of standard from us.. ya i agree.. but what to do.. haha.. No wonder no one wanna come Combat E.. we did this for the next few day till we book out.. basically this the main highlight of the week.. Now we had our FBO ready every moment.. once we had our so called "admin Time" we will look out of the window and see if there any "activation" haha.. the number 7 is the last thing that anyone of us would want to hear..

Book out at 5.. guess this the earliest we will ever get to book out.. Tmr CNY.. alright shall relac and enjoy..

Plant Week..!!!!

2006-01-22T16:51:00.000+08:00

This week was very "siong".. Like back to poly life.. Everyday study.. Sibei Stress.. everyday full of lectures.. all things have to squeezed inside my head.. i can't take it man.. i tot come to combat e, no need to study.. but i was totally wrong..

Dunno why suddenly felt home-sick throughout this week.. maybe due to the long "holidays" bah.. nv felt this way since i enter NS life.. I miss my Bed, my friends, family and all sort of things that a civilian can do.. but that's nth much i could do.. my job is to train and protect my country.. =)

This week is full of standardisation.. Field pack and Cupboard.. Can't believe that for our field pack items, we had to get the same things for all of us.. Toothbrush, toothpaste, kiwibrush and alot of things have to be the same.. they said it a form of training but i was like WTF.. have to spend $$ on these stuff.. KNN.. i rather use the $$ for Wing Outing.. Sianz ar.. Sibei Jia lat.. But no matter what, i will still go on.. cos my aim is to walk out of SAFTI Parade Square..!!

. On the way to Mount Biang .

Omg i'm back.. i'm so Happy.. one of the most siong thing in NS has finally finished.. sibei song now!!.. shall tell u abt what i did bah..

When we touch down at Brunei Airport.. it was arn 5am.. all of us were tired.. i did not sleep during the flight cos i was so excited abt flying.. cos it my 1st time mah..so i quickly grad a window seat and play video game, watch movie all these.. KNN the Super Mario was damn hard man.. always die sia.. oh ya SIA girls were damn Chio man..haha anyway.. we took a bus to this ferry terminal and took a fast craft to another place.. this "fast craft" took 2hr.. lol.. once we reached the place, we board a bus then fetch us to Lakuin Camp..

The camp look quite old..we reached there change to PT-kit, then start unloading the stuff.. i look at the camp, i was so demoralise.. dunno y.. then during our mealtime, we were like those dunno how many yrs back NS man sia.. we have to take those metal tray and Q up for food.. like prisoner man.. haha.. as usual, we slept kinda late and have to wake up early morning.. lol.. can imagine now?

Next few days, we had a combat swimming lesson.. we had to swim across this river using 4 fieldbags.. kinda shag but once u reached the other side u feel much more better.. cool.. Next day we had a navigation practise.. Brunei jungle damn siong.. very hard to find direction.. but anyway still managed to find all the checkpoints.. erm.. nth much happen.. go back do some admin stuff and prepared for next day outfield ex mountain rat..

. Ex Mountain Rat .

Haha.. Team 16..!! yeah man.. for ex mountain rat, i'm in Team 16 and thank god that i know most of the people from my grp.. cos almost all Tango r inside.. hmm.. early in the morning after inspection, we took a mini bus and went to our starting point. the weather was so hot.. after check coms all these we head to our first checkpoint.. everything seem fine until we realised that we were "holland-ed".. after 2 hr we still can't find the checkpoint and right on our back is stuff weight abt 20kg.. felt kinda tired.. we kept trying different path.. in the end we ended beside a stream.. we relac and had our lunch.. filled up our bottle with stream water and taste kinda wired but nvm, we added a pill inside it, so it safe.. haha.. it was arn 2 and abt 5hr after we left our starting point.. Jeremy and i went recce up this knoll after we found out that the checkpoint was just somewhere arn it.. we went recce and finally we found it.. both of us were so happy.. we went back to the stream and formed up with them.. soon we left the stream and off we go for the 2nd checkpoint.. after few hours, we decide to stop at one of the log point and prepare our hammock for the night.. we ate and slept.. it rain since we left the stream till the next morning.. the whole night i couldn't sleep properly cos it was damn cold.. kept waking up.. at arn 7+ we pack up and countine our journey..

From morning till 3pm we still can't find our 2nd checkpoint.. so we gave up after we realised it was all the way back.. nvm we head on to the admin point and took a mini bus to the foot of Mount Biang.. Prepare hammock and slept arn 8.. Next morning woke up arn 8 and started walking towards the log point right at the foot of Mount Biang.. we were so tired after 1hr+ of walking Sianz.. Refilled water bottles with the river water.. KNN while filling up, the other grp infront of us croos the river and the mud from thier boots.. was like.. Yuck!! those muddy water went into my bottle!! so Sway.. but hack care.. still drink.. haha.. after we cross the river, it was a journey of hell.. the journey up was so tiring.. legs were like jelly.. very weak.. but suck thumb still have to do it.. the steepest part was near the top.. was like 70 degree steep.. SiBei Sianz..!!Finally reach the top at arn 12.. had our lunch and took a few pics.. soon after half an hour we on our way down.. this was much more diffcult than climbing up.. we were "holland-ed" kinda jia lat.. not really know where we are going.. all we did was just following our compass going towards North.. at arn 5 we reached a stream and we decide to call it a day.. a few guys went recce for a place to harbour.. we followed them to the place.. and realised tt it wasn't a very gd habouring site.. the ground was abt the same level as the stream and what happen if it rain at night? we looked at our watch and it going to be dark soon.. we go back to the stream and climb up this really fucking steep and dangerous Knoll.. it was much more steeper than the one we climbed in the morning.. it was like almost 80 degree.. and we actually need those branches of the trees to support as the soil were wet.. all of us fell atleast once or twice.. and we really climbed like we never climbed b4 in our life.. was so fucking tired.. took us abt 30mins to climb a 6 storeys high slope.. KNN..!!! we quickly set up our hammock and get really to sleep.. oh ya we set in the dark.. was so jia lat..

. OopZ.. Out of Bound Area .

On the fourth day, we followed the compass and in the end lead us to the river crossing point.. by right we r suppose to do combat swim by dunno why we didn't.. then board the bus and went back to camp arn 1030 think we were the 12 team to come back.. clear our personal stores and stuff.. soon.. all the teams came back.. at that night we were not allowed to sleep because for missing items.. we searched our bunk throughout the night.. we even took everything out from the bunk(Left with beds and cardboards).. but still couldn't find it.. this ended arn 3 and instructors let us sleep.. But it was only for and hour.. we woke up at 4 to clean our weapon.. was fucking tired.. the next morning was basically clearing of stores and wash our personal items.. Haiz..at night we had duffet bag inspection and suddenly it rain.. we quickly load up our bags into the tonner and knn all of us were wet.. our instructors punished us in the rain and make up ran.. while the other formations were under shelter.. was kinda stupid but still suck thumb.. at night we played games all these to let us know each other better.. in the end we did not sleep.. cos our "Get-to-know-each-other" session end arn 4+ and we had to get really to move out.. wah lau sibei tired.. at arn 6 we board bus then took the fast craft back.. at the bus one of the Sir told us storys that he had encountered in Brunei.. hmm.. shall not mention much.. at arn 10+ we reached another camp.. had a quick breakfast and off we go for our R&R (shopping and visit places)..surf net at one of the lan shop in the shopping centre cos finished walking le mah.. oh ya the people in Brunei were friendly and kinda surprise that some of the chinese doesn't understand mandarin.. anyway the number of chinese that i saw was like less than 50.. ya it true!! the whole day..!! haha.. we had our buffet lunch and dinner at two different hotels.. the food was damn nice.. then happen to see Boon Keng (sec sch classmate).. he was posted there to do admin stuff for a yr.. at night we went back to camp and slept for 4 hours before we head on to the airport..

Yes i did it..!! i'm so proud of myself.. can't believe tt i actually complete a run of 42.195km.. my timing according to my watch was 4hr 25mins and 31secs.. think next wk then i will find out my official timing.. YEa..!! the feeling was great.. the atmosphere was good.. i find that my $35 actually worth it.. i got one official sleeveless tee and a finisher tee.. both are Adidas.. think worth abt $60+.. haha..

Ytd when i collect my goodies bag, i expect alot of people but in the end like no Q leh.. haha.. a teenage ger serve me at the counter.. she kept apologize to me cos they had to find a shoe bag for me.. i was like keep saying "it ok.. nvm take ur time" hmm.. maybe i look piss off? can't be mah.. haha.. after tt went dinner with my poly classmates..

Reached home arn 11+.. bathe all these and slept arn 1.. woke up at 3.30am prepare my own breakfast.. and then my dad drive me to Tampines stadium to board the bus.. i miss the 1st bus.. but nvm.. the 2nd bus at 5am still make it on time.. went to the baggage area to deposit my bag.. head to the toilet and start my warming up.. wahz seh.. alot of people.. so crowded.. the atmosphere was really gd.. after tt the honk sound.. and off i go..

i maintain a speed of abt 9km/hr was feeling real gd abt it.. at abt the 6km mark, saw those elite runner ran passed me.. haha.. at the opp lane which mean they had already u-turn at the 1st u-turn point.. those runners r damn fast.. i ran non-stop for 28km.. along the way i passed a lot of people.. this make me feel real confident abt this race.. at every 10km interval, my timing was gd.. for every 10km my time was abt 1hr ++.. at the 28km my time was 2hr 40mins.. that where i stopped for a toilet break.. ate bananas and power gel to give me more energy.. after that ran another 2km then it was there where the most diffcult part of the race began.. my legs were cramp like hell.. for the last 12km, i was running and walking running and walking.. legs can't take it anymore i was pushing myself using my mental strength.. along the way quite a number of participants ran passed me.. i was slightly demoralise.. but it ok after all it was my 1st full marathon.. oh ya think i have to mention this.. throughout this race there r alot of pretty young ladies.. they were either the route mashaller or those handling the water point.. yes..!! that what i love most during an event.. haha.. jk.. hmm.. at the last 1km, there were this grp of cheerleaders.. wahz piangz damn gd looking.. haha.. then i suddenly feel very energentic.. zoom..!! i sprint off.. but atfer 500m, my legs cramp.. i walk abt 5m and rest.. then sprint all the way to the finishing line.. the music was blasting dman loud!! i dun feel any pain towards the end.. YEs..!!~

after the race i was damn tired.. walk for awhile b4 doing some cooling down.. went to collect my finisher tee and medal.. i look at it, just simply can't believe it that i actually had done it.. after tt rest for abt 40mins b4 i collect my bag.. met up with Jeremy cos he wants to return the chip.. in the end i took his chip and help him get the finisher tee.. haha.. he din took part cos the next day he's having ex-spade.. too bad.. haiz.. anyway.. later met up with TLR to get my sgrunners tee.. chat with him awhile.. and he told me that my timing was actually quite a gd one for a 1st timer.. hmm.. i also think so.. haha... went home after tt and get prepare for book in le.. sianz..

Platoon Field Camp..

2005-12-03T01:23:00.000+08:00

Exercise Skylard and Nightbird.. plus Platoon field camp ended liao le.. Happy to say that was our last field camp for our service term.. ya think there will be more during the pro-term.. haiZz.. anyway for skylard and nightbird were both abt navigation.. searching for checkpoints all these.. since we had done alot of navi exercise therefore these two were relativly easy.. can say no kick.. haha

As for platoon field camp we learned platoon movement, different types of formation and most importantly know how to operated as a platoon (attack and defence).. it was very much different as compare to section level.. a platoon is much harder to control.. and it require alot of practise and co-ordination between one another.. everyone has to do their part if not a platoon will definitly won't make it during an attack.. the first few days of exercise was very badly done.. i dunno why.. lack of confidence, co-ordination or due to frtigue?? i really dunno.. guess we need more practise, practise and practise.. we were scolded by our instructors like we had nv been scolded b4.. all of us were very low.. i tried to keep my morale high but it was very hard.. the rain, the morning 5bx, the scolding really makes me sick.. most of the time my mind is on the Marathon on this coming Sunday.. Haiz worst still the 4pics rod inside the MG wallet were missing.. omh.. Wing Comm mention tt that's no more 1206 for missing items.. it will be a RCP charge.. i was very worried tt it might be me cos i'm the one who drew out the wallet.. but is the end, the 5 person who were responsible, were punished with an weekend burned.. wahz Hengz.. if not i wil feel bad for them also.. cos i know life as a RCP is not easy..

anyway during the 2nd last day of our field camp, we had a circuit test.. we did well for it.. and we were glad with our surprising performance.. almost perfect.. just that some of the mission were cock up at the very last part.. other than tt were alright.. our PC was happy with us.. finally our morale were back.. we felt gd abt it.. at the last day we had a mini mission with other 2 platoon.. and after lunch we took bus and went back to SAFTI..

We cleared our stores and arms.then book out le.. yes..!! Friday book out cos i gotten Gold for IPPT and under 9.00mins for SOC.. though was quite late but it ok.. as long as i can book out i happy le.. Oh ya 1 more days to my Marathon.. so excited and looking towards it.. my history gonna to be made and record will be set.. later evening will be meeting JinLiang and collect race pack and a mini poly yr 3 classmates gathering.. Ciao..!!~

16km Route March..

2005-11-27T14:35:00.000+08:00

This week we had our 16km Route march.. kinda tired becos we were carrying those weapon that a platoon is require to bring.. stretcher, tripod and GPMG.. plus 6 saw, 6 M203 and 6 laws.. the worst thing was that our platoon only left with 24 figthing fits cos the rest of them were on status.. haiz.. 1st 4km kinda tired.. maybe is bcos we had not yet warm up.. i carry the M203 and law.. plus of cos our FBO.. i was following behind.. then next 4km was quite relac cos i was carrying the sar21 and my FBO.. reached the 8km mark.. can see that some guys can't make it.. esp those who carried the tripod and stretcher.. LTA Daniel ask for volunteer to carry the GPMG.. no one volunteer so i volunteered myself.. haha.. but it was alright.. the last 8km i was carrying the GPMG.. i use neck sling all the way cos if i side sling, the weight will be unbalance thus making it harder for me to carry it.. reach our wingline, our instructor ask us to weapon over our head.. imagine i was carrying the MG which weigh abt 11kg.. haha.. while the rest was like arn 4-6kg.. hmm.. no matter how tired i was, i still manage to lift up the MG over my head.. all of them were surprise.. LTA Timmy told the rest that "LOOK AT THE MG" immediatly i was so paiseh.. dunno my face got turn red or not.. but hack la.. haha.. must give my platoonmates some motivation..

Anyway i did my SOC with a time of 8.26mins.. to some of them are maybe fast.. but to me it is actually quite slow.. nvm my aim is to hit below 7.45mins in pro term.. hope i can achieve that.. and ya.. finally got Gold for IPPT.. finally got 234cm for SBJ.. haha.. my 2.4km was slightly worse than the previous.. the previous one my time was 9.01mins.. almost sub 9.. this time i aim for sub 9 but in the end got 9.10mins.. nvm la.. gold can liao..

oh ya.. One more week to Marathon.. yes..!! finally .. been waiting for a very long time.. ytd did a slow run for 2hr 13mins.. hope all these preparation is enough for next wk event.. sianz next week outfield the whole weekdays.. platoon field camp.. haizZzzz..
