Happy Lunar New Year!!!

GONG HEI FATT CHOY Everyone!!! hope everyone is having a roaring start to the new year!!! may everyone have good health and a fantastic year ahead! The months leading to today has been a good on, so far 2010 has been pretty kind to me. Thank you friends, family and everyone that has left a mark in my life in the year of the Ox. I must say last year has been pretty rough, but having that behind me, I am definitely looking forward to having a fantastic Tiger year ahead.

Let just slowly recap on what happened from the "english" new year, till this "lunar" new year. Several fun events took place, some are life's turning point, while others are just reason for gathering, but nevertheless, all left a footprint in my memories.

There is Ross and Bell's Full month celebration, the first ever doggie full month I attended in my life.


A picture of the happy family!!!

Then of course there is the first marriage that was informed to us since we event graduated.



Congraz to you Serene and Thomas.. as you guys embark on life's journey, I sincerely wish you guys all the best, stay happy, blissful and loving always.

After that of course the next day was my first race of the year! The Men's Health Urbanathlon, Maybe I pinned the standard too high to the one one NYC, thats why for anticipating a tough race, which turn out much easier than I tot. Took me about 5 mins to recover from that 12.5km with obstacle run. Was still able to walk all the way to Wayne's apartment for a shower, grab breakfast before heading home. But overall, fun!!!


Run pass the finishing line!!!

This is then followed by my ICT.... and of course my IPPT... now I holding this status!!!



Heez... a great achievement at the start of the year. Pretty much something I expect to get by this year (one of my new year resolution) but wasn't expecting it so soon or early this year. Now will be to maintain it and pehaps improve in the points. Am currently a 24 pointer (full is 25) so will have to work for a perfect score, and heard from my friend Wei Ling the elite forces time for 2.4km run is 9.14min, so something else to work for. TRAINING HARD!~!~

Then there is the Airshow 2010, something my buddy Herbert (who is a plane fanatic) jio-ed so tot why not... Nothing fantastic to be honest, I think the opening for public was purely a gimmick for the organizer to earn something out of it, coz by the time we are there... there are more empty booths then exhibits left. Overall was good and did get myself a tank top tan as the sun was scorching!!!



And of course there is the 2010 Asian Pot Luck Summit at Kate's place where great chef exchange pointer and fantastic dishes.

The latest will be a last min shopping out with Apel, attempting to get a little CNY shopping done, ended up she bought all she need than me... HAHA never the less good good company and outing lah...



She asked me what will my new year resolution be. These year, as the start of the next decade, I have quite a number of resolutions, some are general while some are pretty much personal wellness. For the general,

1) Wish that everyone stays healthy, fit, happy, especially my parents
2) Have a health work/sport/leisure time (so that I can have more friends time without losing sports commitment time)
3) Embark and excel in a career.

On a personal note, I really wish to attain quite abit physically.

1) Obtained my dream figure by Halloween
2) Attain IPPT Gold (which I already did)
3) To join an overseas run

This year is a year where I will test my limits again, or rather, try to find the limits or breaking point. Don't worry, I will of course do it safety. Many might think I am insane, but honestly, you have to try it before calling me that, coz the feeling of each time you feel you have already reach your limit and you survive, you will feel that it wasn't so bad, and the next time you do the same thing, you realised you have surpassed it and attain another new limit. As the saying goes, What doesn't kills you makes you stronger.

So aim is to get stronger as I am sure I will never reach my strongest!!!

That my first entry for this new year!!! may everyone have a great year ahead and give a 120% in everything you do, I am sure you will do well as long as you try!!!

ROAR!~!~!~
