BORING!!!

I cannot believe that its holiday tml, and yet here I am, stuck at home doing nothing much. Ok pehaps I am lazy, but I mean, whats the point of going out when you donno where to go, what to do, right? Guess its gonna be running for me shortly again.

Let's do a recap on my day today, actually there isn't much worth mentioning, except maybe i went to the gym again. Yes, went to demoralise myself once again, carrying super light weights and I am amazed at how weak my right hand have become. Fews sets of those super light weights and its already starting to feel weak. As I saw those guys "enjoy" killing themselves to look good, it reminded me of my past, and well made me even more no mood to workout. Nevertheless, i still manage to get abit of abs done, light on the biceps and my forearm. Reach home, had dinner, and have been slacking ever since. Looked up on some videos online, The first words that came to me was "muay thai", not sure why but I guess I missed the sport too much. looking that those pple throwing punches really got me worked up, so i switches to something else, more on core exercise. And this is some of what I have found that can help build a nice core... hehe for those looking for a 6 pack, here is what you can do...







realli haven't got many things to say, guess its off to running already lah... update soon! cheers

Result from a little online test

This is a little test done... interesting result... haha... pretty true to some sense (in fact, alot of sense...)

Koh, your destiny is to be a Provider


Whether you know it or not, this is the role that is most in tune with who you are at your core. As a Provider, you have a genuine nurturing concern for the welfare of others and you're eager to serve them. You can recognize exactly what people need and your friendly, helpful, social nature makes them feel comforted. With your kind and generous heart, you are personable, talkative, and outward with your emotions, and your openness and sensitivity makes you concerned about the way others view you. Along these lines, be careful not to blame yourself when things go wrong. You cannot prevent bad things from happening, even though your tendency to be orderly with a strong sense of right and wrong may lead you to believe you can. Accept that you do what you can to take care of things and that this will get you far in the world.

SO TYPICAL OF TCS 8 Drama!!!

As usual, channel never fails to give it to me straight in the face, tell me its indeed a drama we are talking about here! After watching the last episode of "Making Miracles", It was really a miracle that i try my best to follow through the entire series. It was bad, period.

I don't even know where to start, when I first started watching the show, its was pretty alright for me, I really thought it was going to be not too bad, thats what got me to continue watching it. As the show progresses, at some point there are many minor misconduct here and there, but well considering its a local production, I didn't took it to point. But tonight, after the final episode, It really got me so boiled up that I really needed the medium to vent out all that is bottom inside me. The start of the show was the very typical "kipnapping" scene in all tcs drama, but what puzzled me was the "efficency" of the police. Not to say our police ain't efficent (don't want to offend our forces here, they are doing a good job keeping us safe and i thank them for it). But how the hell they managed to find the place with no reports being made? Didn't the doc have to pass fields, run in the sewage, just to make sure the police was not able to follow? Or is GPS is so advance there is a possibility they tracked him down using GPS?

This is just the minor part, Its the last 1/2 hour that made me feel watching the show is a complete waste of my time. First would have to be the earthquake, who was saying that saving lifes is more important then looking for someone? with all that is going on, how can someone still identify a T-shirt out of the thousands that is injuried, so lucky? Well, let say alright, its for saving time if not this show will run like "Holland Village".That aside, after being trapped in the rumbles, we all see the "excellent collapse" scene, but it was after that got me laughing my guts out. First, judging from the state of the collapse to be honest to escape with a scar on Fann Wong's arm is very very lucky indeed. But the scene under the table was "classic" man. Already under so much danger, the last thing you would worry about is that the girl beside you will run away, and guess what, Li Ming Lun have to present the ring and ask for marriage, others might think "wah, damn romantic lah", me I really think "Come'on! get real man!". The rescue I guess is pretty much a scene that is set to feature the complex equipment that SCDF possesses (which is good, shows that we are in good hands of SCDF). However, just think that the rescue was too rush and the narrator would really have to do his homework before thinking of such rescue mission like that. I mean I might not be an expert, but well, if you watch Twin Tower, rescue missions ain't something that can be done in one afternoon, and yes the guys are well equiped but as they drill through boulders with that "Big Guns" where is there safety gears? ear muffs? Does Terence Cao have a head of steel? In times of such danger, he was still able to follow the rescue team into the rumbles. I am impressed but the "professionalism"of the rescue team man. With a boulder coming down on Li Ming Lun leg, it would have been fractured, but no they don't need a stretcher to help him out, they just drag in out, then put them on a stretcher. NICE!!!

After all is over, the last scene got me sighing again. Doctor anxious running to see if his gf face get safe, thats allowed in the hospital? Even though I am not working in the hospital, but I know that running around in the hospital is not acceptable behavior, moreover he is a doctor. All in all they decide to end with a saving the people from the wreak scene. I would rather they end of with the individual actors feeling of acting in the roles they play rather then the posing man... THERE IS NO LINK!!!

Thats all I have to say about "Making Miracles", good start to a terrible ending. with so much remarks I will still give credit to the narrator thou, as he still manage to convey problem face by doctors that public dun usually see on screen. That I must say is pretty good. Now that everything is out, i feel so much better, I have to state that all I say is base on my impression of the show and nothing else. No hard feelings or anything, will still be a fan of Television no matter what, my one stop to entertainment man... hahaha Cheers!

Nice Sunday and slow start to my program...

Today, didn't really haven't got off on a great start at gym, firstly I was kinda reluctant to go in the first place, so that was already off to a bad start. Shall continue on it later on... now just something about yesterday then.

Sunday, happily joined the guys (Trisa, karen and Wei Xiang) for a little ktv session down in bishan, something I haven't done in awhile and was kinda looking forward to. Got there on time, they said they wanted lunch, and since I too haven't had lunch, I obliged. I was told to wait at the coffeeshop as they were on the way to fetch karen (who is a bend away, according to wx). What was suppose to be a short 5 mins wait dragged on to 45 mins. It was really a test of my endurance, and ever since I ORD, I admit my patience level have drop drastically. Many a times, I really wanted to leave, but the "angel" within me convince me to wait just 5 more mins. Till the end, when they finally arrived I was really on the verge of erupting. But one thing I am certain about myself, no matter how mad I am for that moment, it stays at that moment, after the storm blew by, its clear skys once again. Besides, whats that point of waiting all these while and spoil everyone's mood right? After lunch was 4 hours of crazy singing. Well not exactly crazy as all the song we sang was pretty slow and love songish type. But we did enjoy ourselve never the least. Maybe it was due to the absence from singing for awhile, I can't seem to find the right pitch. sad but very true. After that we went for dinner at J8, while the rest indulged in Long John Sliver, I satisfied myself with a nice subway sandwich. However, the night will have to end with a twist, I lost my debit card. Just discovered it on the way to gym just now. Glad nothing went wrong after that and a replacement will be sent to me in days. Rotten luck.

As for gym today, got on the weight machine and thank god, the damage from my 1 1/2 months of absence was not that unbearable. However, the right shoulder did restrict me from many activities. Decided to stick to something simple today, my biceps and triceps. Felt very inferior the moment i stepped into the "free weights" section. Brought be back memories when I first started out gym man, everyone staring at a "den fat ass" doing "sissy" weights. Tried many times to reassure myself, and kept telling myself "I am just like everyone else, wanting to look better" but staring into the mirror demoralised me alot, not much no my size, but the shoulder, I didn't think the difference is going to be so drastic, my left shoulder is at least half the size broader then my right. Demoralised and all, I still managed to spent 2 hours in the gym, working on my biceps and tricep with weights lesser then 10kg (for someone that usually starts from 15kg up, its a big deal). Ended my workout with abs exercise, it was den that i realise how un-conditioned I am, slacking for 1.5 months really took alot from my abs, yes, i do see rough shapes of the pecs, but the core is WEAK MAN!!! I figured that since I am not able to use most of the machines in the gym, I will forgo that for the time being and will focus my training in running and stamina. Think I will also invest in resistant band to work my muscles for the time being. Haiz, a disappointing day at the gym today, usually I leave the gym refreshed, after pumping all that iron, that long awaited hot bath that follows... but today, thou the hot bath was still great, but that sense of achievement was no where to be found. When can i find my past glory? or have it really past... i wonder....

Off to dinner, still not really satisfied with my workout for the day, probably will go for a run later. Bye for now...
