<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I look back at my last post, I realised that it was dated 2012, which mean this page; which has followed me through endless nights in the past have been neglected and untouched for the past year. This is like reliving an aged books from the dusty shelf, blowing off the layer of dust accumulated from the year and uncovering a hidden gem. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2013 was a roller coaster and honestly a very fast year that went pass in a fast. Honestly years flew pass after I joined this company. But of course last year brought me to many places as well, bo th for work and for leisure. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just to share some of the places I went, the friends that had a change of status and started a new phase of life... (not in particular order...)<br />

This feels kinda new yet very familiar. Anyway, I know i have been grumbling a lot yet nothing has been done, but I am finally ready to do something about it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I ended my year with a fantastic run, I finally did my first overseas run, the Angkor Wat Half Marathon. Its a very wonderful experience. I shall let the picture do the talking.<br />
<br />

Start off collecting out race bib. they still went with the old school champion chip system, those kind that you have to return after the race.<br />
<br />
On the race day, we have a tutu driver to send us to the race site, the cool breeze in the morning is rather chilly but once the sun is up, and with the crowd, we warmed up very quickly.<br />
<br />

I do feel at time I am hindering people around me, never able to be of any help to the people around me. As I thought I finally found some use in life, I let it slipped out of my own hands...</div><div><br /></div><div>Being a guy, I have no aspirations for goals in life, I live it a day at a time, not knowing and not wanting to know what lies ahead for me. Not even sure this is what I want in the long run, I am just move ahead a day at a time.</div><div><br /></div><div>I do miss how I did sports last time, the feeling of breathlessness from pushing myself to the limits excites me, making me know i survive and will be able to push myself future for my next training, waking up sore from a good set. </div><div><br /></div><div>Nowadays, I get breathless just for climbing up a flight of stairs. Clothes that fitted well are getting tight.. I know all this but the scary thing is I am not doing anything about it. I should really really buck up if I do not wish to go back to where I was. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was 72kg (at my peak) and now I am closing 80 kg once more... a massive weight increase.</div><div><br /></div><div>What I set out to do (resolutions) was never met.. not even close. </div><div><br /></div><div>Recently this feeling is getting from bad to worse...

Its only been 3 months (or 6mths, just 3 in full time) in this job and things have been pretty okie... but this come with a price and its turning pretty costly now.<br /><br />Thou this job re-ignite my passion for this industry, I am starting to wonder if this is all worth it. This situation is making me think of the movie "Devil loves Prada" and something Nigel says in the move: "Let me know when you life comes crashing.... it means its time for a promotion" Do I really want to get to that stage? I wonder..<br /><br />One part of life I am seriously lacking now is exercise. what have been a huge part of me in the past have now come to a serious haul, from 7 days a week to now once a week or even none a week. I am very not proud of this and am trying to work with it.<br /><br />Its going to be a long weekend ahead.....=([b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-20665877158910111502011-07-18T21:43:00.005+08:002011-07-18T23:26:11.725+08:00FATDating back to my last entry, its been a pretty long while since I last blogged. I guess hardly anyone read my blog but well nevertheless, here I am.<br /><br />I know this vicious cycle is on going but once again, I am back to square one in terms of my fitness, Once at my peak (close to sub 4hrs for a marathon), now I doubt I can even finish a 10 km run without stopping. Mentally I am strong, but mentally I am lazy also....<br /><br />Anyway, for those that have not heard, i just started on a new chapter in life. something new and a learning process everyday. this also mean lesser "me" time as in the past. but nevertheless a good thing for a start. perks comes with the job, one thing is the opportunity to work in a big company, and of course having the chance to travel overseas! this year alone i have visited more places i have done in years.<br /><div><br /></div><div>well thats all i have for work. with its perks there is a downside, late nights and overtime, working over weekends, sleepless nights and all definitely comes with the job. but its made more bearable with awesome colleagues and team mate! </div><div><br /></div><div>now to sport, unfortunately, i have not been able to fulfill many of the items that i set out to do this year. i have also taken a step back in my run. i stopped dragonboating and also slowed down on muay thai, these factor constitues to my growing waistline! haha. oh well slowly but surely i need to get it back! i must not let all my hardwoirk go back to waist. i should train for gold for my ippt before it expires. </div><div><br /></div><div>at least this is what i set out to do:</div><div><br /></div><div>1) gold for ippt 2011</div><div>2) get my fitness back!</div><div><br /></div><div>thats for now! anyway! thats all for now. shall blog when i have the chance!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-36875445386082391922011-05-04T14:14:00.002+08:002011-05-04T14:23:20.477+08:00Time to packStepping on the weighing scale yesterday is definitely a wake up call for me. I have gained 3 kg, yes 3KG!!! haha it shows that I still have the "fat genes" in me (grow fat super easy, losing it TOUGH!)<br /><br />Anyway, as this project comes to an end, so does my worries once again, what's next? where to next??? Many ask me, where do my interest lies? Honestly, I am not sure, and am very uncertain as of now. Sad right? for someone my age to not have a direction in life... =( haiz...<br /><br />Long term wise seems a blur now, but in short term, there are certain things I need to do.<br /><br />1) Drop my weight (Time to get INSANE!!!)<br />2) Project "Spring Cleaning"<br />3) Project "Job Hunt/Job Consideration"<br /><br />That's all I have for now but the top 2 will be priority, at least for the month of May! Sort out my life so that I can sort out my future... thats for sure!!!<br /><br />I am out for this couple of weeks, and its back to train hard!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-62264944063973099442011-04-18T15:55:00.002+08:002011-04-18T16:04:58.740+08:00Casting of steel legsI guess somehow or rather, my legs are getting stronger, but I am not sure. Well this is the thing, I did a 12 km run (Sunday), followed by a 195km cycle (Wed) and then a short 30 km cycle (Sat) before another 10 km run (Sunday), all within a week. shall go try and see if I can earn the extra 200 bucks from the army soon!!! =p I WANT GOLD!!!<br /><br />PEACE![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-49100169868882993952011-04-14T16:40:00.002+08:002011-04-14T17:20:31.392+08:00Power cycle lately...The weather lately have been really temperamental, one moment its really blistering hot, the next its raining rhino and elephants (its beyond cats and dogs already). Its not wonder people fall ill and all. Please do take care everyone!!!!<br /><br />Yesterday went to challenge the hills of Malaysia once again. What started of as a FB post by a friend Nicholas of the expedition he is going, so I "kpo" and tag, and became a conversation and soon enough, I was IN!!!<br /><br />Woke up at 4am had a very light breakfast and met Nic at 5.15am to cycle from home to Changi Village where we will meet the rest and catch a ferry over to Malaysia, if I am not mistaken, the place is call Pengeran. Went by Punggol and off from lorong Halu to the back of Pasir Ris, a quiet and lesser traffic option to old tampines road.<br /><br />Once we are there, met Alex and Uncle Benson, shortly Zaki, Jerome and Razak, the tour leader for the day, All of them seem very ready and all of them have a roadie, except me, I was the only one with a time trial bike. Anyway, Razak, a very season rider did mention "good luck" when he saw my bike, and I do understand what he mean, apparently a TT bike, built for long straight road, isn't that favorable for the hilly terrain of Malaysia. Nevertheless I braved it and was determine to catch up.<br /><br />After breakfast, we caught the first boat out to Malaysia. its about 1.15 hrs boat ride (pulau ubin kinda boat, not ferry) over so some managed to catch a snooze while others just chit chat and seem unfaltering by the challenge ahead, I managed to steal a power nap and was taking pictures of the beauty (bikes) that were neatly arranged in the front portion of the boat.<br /><br />Once we are there, we took a group picture before heading out. It was a 35 mins ride to the nearest and only town (dist 28km), everything seems pretty familiar as I did a similiar ride last year, only this time, its only my own bike and I tell you, the difference is so drastic.<br /><br />When we got there, everyone who was initially thinking of just stopping for a drink decided to have some prata and all after realizing how "challenging" the ride to town itself was. We were going at an average of 30kph, something I was pretty comfortable of so I am fine, and so where the guys. After refueling, a couple of them make a trip to the nearby money changer before we head of to our first destination Desaru, its was known to be about 50km from the town. We were led to the "beginner route" according to Razak, lesser hills and more scenic as it was nearer to the coastal area. I believe the last time I was there I took the harder route as I remember doing hills one after another. This one is quite scenic as promised and the climb was also pretty manageable (probably my bike is better as well) Got in about 2 hours time. When everyone gathered at the round about at Desaru, then come the question: to head back, or to Kuta Tinggi. I was okie with both. KT it was and boy was it challenging. The hills never decrease and infact increased MAX and along with the after sun and the sparse vegetation around, we were soon at the mercy of the harsh weather condition, wasn't able to keep up with the front scout and I find myself travel some portion of the road alone. scary experience (just the worry of being lost). But thank god, manage to find them just before entering the town of Kota Tinggi, (90km cycled)<br /><br />Waited for everyone before heading in town to look for some place for lunch, wanted nasi padang but the famous one (according to Razak) was not open, so we went for KFC instead, coz there was AIRCON!!! haha. took a long and relax lunch while everyone fuel up for the ride home. Got a few bottle of mineral water to refill for this leg, the last pit stop all we got was isotonic drinks which seem like not a good idea as it just made me more thirsty due to the hot weather.<br /><br />From KT, off we go heading to JB to return from the causeway. The ride to JB must be one of the most adventurous ride by far for me, its equivalent to riding on the expressway in Singapore (but worst). I have huge container trucks zooming past me at formula one car speed and also not much road shoulder for me to work around. It was both scary yet fun as it really taught me how to control my bike and all. The road condition was also pretty bad and roadie having no suspension at all, the shock was all absorb by my bum (whatever is left of it) and arms. About 2 hours or so later, I safely made it to Malaysia's customs joining the motor cycle quite to enter the causeway, it was indeed a very unique experience, first time for me, but while waiting, didn't really enjoy all that soot that I was breathing in.<br /><br />As I traveled along the causeway, there seem to be a breakway from Malaysia because as soon as I past the halfway point, it started raining. How strange is that right? Nevertheless, it was good as it kinda wash away some of the dirt accumulated from the ride.<br /><br />Once back in spore, we headed to a coffeeshop named "Rasa Rasa" for a drink before heading back. Took the Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Seletar Dam route back. Led by Nic, I made it home it one piece.<br /><br />Total mileage for the day: 195.55km, my speedometer marked 190km but realize at certain point my speedometer went offline. So yeah. 200km, the longest ride by far on this bike, served me very well. Now I am officially a cyclist as I have the "bikers tan line" to prove it.<br /><br />Looking forward to more long distance ride, and really thankful to the great support from the guys that I rode with yesterday! Its nice meeting new people, especially those that share a common passion!!!<br /><br />Woohoo more rides to come, not too sure why I cannot like FB pictures here, so I guess for those who wanna see pictures to my trip will just have to see it from my FB page then.....<br /><br />Ciaos[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-21105205683903499172011-04-06T10:31:00.002+08:002011-04-06T11:05:18.440+08:00Cycling...Yesterday, I realize I have a long way to go when it comes to my fitness. Whatever I had accomplished last year, ALL GONE!!! back to the drawing board and all over again!!! WOOHOO!!!<br /><br />Okie, let me just update on the crazy month of March I have, the event was a success but honestly its a very very painful event. Just glad that its over and am not even going to mention anything about it (its that bad!!!) haha. But through that experience, I realized the team work and support I have around me. It was good to feel that but of course give me the standards to the "real working world".<br /><br />Anyway, I am loving cycling, every bit of it... especially when I have my bike, all the traveling around in my 2 wheels have bring me to places I would have never have done personally. I am looking forward to challenge Desaru once again! Just waiting for someone to plan it! =p<br /><br />Anyway, I will share picture (or you can see them in my FB) =)[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-79940458073089268422011-03-11T16:10:00.003+08:002011-03-11T17:15:22.775+08:00First post of 2011Just so happened to thing of my blog and so to realized its been "dead" for close to 3 months!!! haha Also a clear indication on how fast time flew for this year, without even realizing it, a quarter of the year is almost done!!!<br /><br />This first quarter has been really adventurous for me. Visited Bali for the first time, and what a memorable trip it was. Most definitely love to visit again should there be the time for me to do so. So many things to look forward to. But the biggest that have happened must be leaving my job, the first job i found after graduating. Although it hasn't been the most smooth sailing, I must say the last few months was made more bearable with my colleagues and friends. I definitely gain alot from the job. The next question is what am I doing now? Well, let just say I am working freelance, in what you will have to find out for me... Dun worry, its not in desker road or orchard towers. MUAHAHA<br /><br />Change is fun yet very scary at the same time, I am not too sure if its just me, but the pressure is pretty intense that its making me a little breathless. Its have not killed me so I believe I will get stronger.<br /><br />Have yet settle any "lon" event (eg triathlon or dualthlon or biathlon) for this year as planned. Fear still there, not too sure what is holding me back, but I am holding back. Guess I need to get my "life" back on track now that I am living in uncertain time.<br /><br />Anyway...back to war....will blog more when I have the time!!! FIRST ENTRY OF 2011!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-12709809524210655322010-12-30T16:48:00.002+08:002010-12-30T17:49:16.706+08:00New Year Resolution...It's the eve for New Years Eve, and 2011 is approaching. I guessed I have said this a million times so I guess another time won't make much of a difference...TIME FLEW BY for 2010, literally, this year felt really really short for some reason. Nevertheless, I feel I deserve a pat on the back for all I have achieved for this year in terms of sports. I managed to complete what I set out to do, which is to complete as many races as possible, the breaking of many personal best was a bonus for me. +)<br /><br />As for the other resolutions I set myself out to do... well lets just say they didn't really worked out the way I wish it to be. I have yet to achieve my 6 pack which I have been trying to get for the longest time. Guess 2011 will be the year!!! muahaha Looking back, I am thankful to everyone and everything that happened around me, a year full of more ups than downs I must say. I got to know and made lots of new and fun friends though the many events that happened. Without their help, my events would not have ran as smoothly as it could have been. I thank them from the bottom of my heart, I would love to list them all out but I will definitely end up with a super huge list, so I guess not, but I guess you know who you are, and I truly thank you. Thank you for standing by me during down moments, and sharing all the endless hours of sorrows that I pour. Thank you for keeping my company for outings, so that I don't have to be alone for the year. Thank you for all the laughs and joy brought to me this year. Thank you for take photos with me. Thank you guys (and girls)<br /><br />To all those that have backstab me, cheat me, hurt me, and did mean things to me. I thank you, as you teach me not to take things for granted and life is never a bed of roses and even such a beautiful flower has thorns. My heart bled but has it healed, wisdoms grows, and experience gain. Thanks for teaching me that things ain't always as it seems and trust and respect should only be given to those that deserves them.<br /><br />Now for 2011, what do I wish to achieve.... hmm in the past when people ask me what my resolution was, I will tell them a whole lot of dreams that I will think never is going to happen. ever since my life started to change when one finally did (which is to lose the weight) I decided to be more determined and set goals and work towards them. So from someone that does not really believe in Resolutions, I became one that truely believe if you work towards them, it does happen!!! But of course it has to be realistic to begin with.<br /><br />Okok enough said... here it goes...For the year 2011, my resolutions are:<br />Priority and renewed yearly: Good health and happiness to everyone around me<br />1) To excel in my coming 3 years (for those who knows what I am talking about)<br />2) To challenge myself to attaining the 6 packs I set myself out to get ages ago, if so will definitely do a photoshoot to "preserve" the glory<br />3) To commit and excel in my sports and up my level of fitness<br />4) Move from runs to multi level events like Triathlons and Dualthlons<br />5) To explore more of Singapore on my 2 wheels.<br />6) Save up for Lasik Surgery<br /><br />That would be all for now... something tells me 2011 will be an exciting year for me. So as I leave 2010 with fond memories.... I look forward to 2011 and more!!!<br /><br />Cherish 2010 as it last and have a fantastic 2011 everyone!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-21321818337922532632010-12-23T12:03:00.002+08:002010-12-23T12:29:01.250+08:00Christmas!!!One entry before Christmas!!! December and reservist have been pretty alright up till now. Am currently applying for transfer back to my unit, but honestly am getting used to the people I had to work with, the complaining together, and working together, thou its only been 3 ICT that we met, it really felt like we knew each other since army time. haha oh well will see how it goes, I have the new uniform anyway.<br /><br />Oh my Standard Chartered Marathon Results is out. Slightly disappointed as I was hoping to clock sub 4. I was pacing with the 3.45hr pack for a good 30km before falling back. What's worse was that I WALKED!!!! for at least 5 mins, this is how I fare:<br /><br />Overall Ranking: 485<br />Singapore Ranking: 276<br /><br />Net Finish Time: 04:05:00 (5 mins of walking caused me!!! ARGH!!!)<br /><br />And my IPPT got Silver again, cause of the cursed SBJ, jumped 225cm (230cm for GOLD) which cause me my extra $200. Will have to train to secure my SBJ before retaking it. Spare cash has to be earn while still able to. HAHA...<br /><br />Recently having a little mix feeling lately... know its been awhile, but some news really affected me. I feel really disgusted even thinking about it now, I feel downgraded, having my trust trampled upon like that. Recent events open up the wound yet again, though less affected but definitely still require some time to accustom myself to it and heal again. The first round I am fortunate to have my buddies around to keep me company, and also seeing how much it has harmed the people around me, it has gave me strength to handle this time myself.<br /><br />There will be avenues for me to vent out short burst of emotions. I hope everyone just bear with me. Don't ask, don't pity me coz that will be the last I want. I need to ride, I need to run, I need to start punching bag again!<br /><br />What don't kill me makes me stronger, it not worth hanging on... let it go... word are usually easier than action...but I will live....<br /><br />Merry Christmas everyone, happy holidayz!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-53014058617546922892010-12-03T22:51:00.002+08:002010-12-03T23:14:29.385+08:00Marathon2 days ago.... I TURNED 26!!! haha just over a quarter of a century old... haha Birthday has become quite scary in fact, as u age, you get highly sensitive to the word "OLD" muahahaha I am kidding... Still sticking to my theory of age being a number... =P<br /><br />I miss Muay Thai Training... seriously... i miss being fit... everyone else around me seems to be training really hard for this marathon except me... am I getting complacent at the very last min... I wonder... Well, even so there isn't much I can do about it now isn't it... its just a couple of days away...<br /><br />Spend sometime reflecting on how the year went for me... it has been pretty smooth I must say... thou my schedule depict mainly with sports (my runs, dp races and umpteen training), I still managed to make time for SOME social life. (diving trips etc)<br /><br />Major achievement for 2010:<br /><br />1) Completing ALOT of runs... as you can see from the left side of my blog.... guess definitely surpass the 109km that I clock for 2007 (thou this distance is from running event not considering those i did on my own sweet time) and ending with a full marathon once again!<br /><br />2) Got many personal best in event that I have done it the past. Some as significant as 15 mins off what I did the last time.<br /><br />3) Got back to Muay thai, had to stop and hopefully get back again, and the dynamics is definitely different as I got to know a hell alot more friends than i did in the past (i guess i was anti social)<br /><br />4) Got back to Dragonboat, and did pacer (god knows why) for the 2 major race this year... upgrade? not too sure... retirement.... considering...OC....pehaps?<br /><br />5) Got my Open Water and Advance Diving Licence. AMAZING!!!<br /><br />6) Got myself a Tri bike; for now her name is <span id="profile_status"><span id="status_text">小红... till a better name pops up =p<br /><br />That pretty much wrap up 2010 more or less....<br /><br />2011 will be interesting... will likely be hitting back the books! yes yes many must be wondering if i am collecting certs... but NO... I want a career and not a job no more... I don't see a career in doing events, not at the scale that I am doing right now... and yet I am uncertain if I can deal with bigger events. I enjoy organizing stuff, but I don't think I can do it for life, lets just put it that way.... So yeah... everything seems to be on the right track at the moment, just waiting for me to nod my head... and I will have exciting stuff awaiting me in April next year. I guess the anxiety and fear is on par at the moment. Fear of the unknown is human nature I suppose...<br /><br />Other than that, I guess 2011 will be a year I cut back on my running event... since I have been there and done that, think its time for me to select runs worth doing. Of course, I will not be giving up running entirely, I might look into doing dualthlons, biathlons, triathlon events, but guess as a novice, I will try the shorter distances ones just in order not to kill myself... =)<br /><br />I would love to go back to Muay Thai, train hard, get my stamina back up, with strength and all. and of course try to get my washboard abs in the process (its always so close then I will give it all back...grrr)<br /><br />More trips for sure, be it road trips (like hiking and trekking or biking) or dives... all gladly anticipated. One dream will be to do an overseas run. Plan to do one this year, didn't happen... so really hope one can be planned next year. =)<br /><br />That's the tentative plan for next year. Will probably list the NYR (new year resolutions 2011) nearer to the date itself I suppose... haha seems abit kiasu to be doing it now.<br /><br />Alright... that's all for this entry, for those running on Sunday. ALL THE BEST AND GO AND ACHIEVE WHATEVER YOU SET YOURSELF UP TO GET.<br /><br />Cya guys Sunday!!!<br /><br />Woohoo!~!~!~<br /><br /><br /></span></span>[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-75408722357834078842010-11-22T21:37:00.003+08:002010-11-22T22:49:53.917+08:00X trail & Vertical MarathonThis month I did 2 races I have never did in the past... Entirely new feeling and really felt pushing my body to a new height. First up we have the Salomon X Trail, its at MacRitichie Reservoir Park this year. So tot I gave it a try<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://salomonx-trailrun.com/files/uploads/2010/11/DSC5888.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 329px; height: 218px;" src="http://salomonx-trailrun.com/files/uploads/2010/11/DSC5888.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Here is a picture of my at the Starting line waiting, 3093 (blue top with white cap) kinda prepping myself as I serious have no idea what awaits. As the horn went of, we dash of the start line and I told myself to pace down as I knew there was a long way ahead. I was soon greeted with the first off trail portion of the race, where there are a number of uphill and downhill terrain, lucky for me, I have a few good runners infront of me to pact to, which kept my mind off the terrain for awhile. One thing I was really upset was the rate those Marshal were walking, we actually ran pass some of the station masters as they took their time to hike to their allocated point. I really wonder what if the first person that have past them had a bad fall up ahead, who is to rescue him. Upset but I carried on running, like the pulau ubin run, as we see then end, it was time to U turn and run back the same way we came, this time round, I managed to keep myself occupied by asking on coming runners to keep left as the road is very narrow.<br /><br />When out of that terrain that when I kinda break from the pack and took my time to enjoy some of the scenery around me. Didn't want to have a push myself run so took it pretty easy. There were more up and down hills along the way so I played with my footwork, pretty much like how u work a car I guess, up hill low gear, down hill free brake. =P<br /><br />Final sprint back to the finishing line was assisted by a downhill so it was really fun. This is my official results. =) I kept thinking it was a 12 km run, but it turn out to be a 12.5km run. oh well... I SURVIVED<br /><br /><table><tbody><tr><td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Tag ID: </strong></td> <td>3093</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Name: </strong></td> <td>Koh Teck Soon Ryan</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Category: </strong></td> <td>Competitive - Men Open</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Gun Timing: </strong></td> <td>01:04:33.9</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Nett Timing: </strong></td> <td>01:04:23</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 130px; padding: 5px 0pt;"><strong>Position: </strong></td> <td>28 / 931</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Next up was my Vertical Marathon, one of the most comfy race I did this year. Firstly I didn't have to get up real real early as my wave started only at 8.30am I will used picture to assist in my narration then =P<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1206.snc4/155875_10150091455302279_618872278_7551572_6510959_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 285px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1206.snc4/155875_10150091455302279_618872278_7551572_6510959_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs591.ash2/154348_10150091455252279_618872278_7551570_5107394_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 290px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs591.ash2/154348_10150091455252279_618872278_7551570_5107394_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />As I waited my turn, I cannot help but to take a picture of my challenge ahead...

There will be a person counting down and 8 is send up at one time... 5....4.....3.......2.........1 *beeeeeeeep* and off I go.... a short dash to the foot of the stair and there is no turning back. Swisshotel definitely didn't went down without a fight, the stair are not like those you find at HDB where is continuous (Which I kinda trained using) it there were little passage way leading to each flight of stairs... I used that to my advantage as a breather but that soon prove to be not enough as we went higher!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1202.snc4/155489_10150091456122279_618872278_7551583_5699169_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 347px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1202.snc4/155489_10150091456122279_618872278_7551583_5699169_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div>As I approach this floor, I whipped out my camera snap and carried on climbing in one smooth motion, and thankfully I got exactly the halfway mark!!!<br /><br />As I approach 40 something storeys, the stairways changed again, shorter burst going in squares all the way up, by now I am already breathing very hard but I didn't care and just burst and pushed.<br /><br />And 11.05mins after the start...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1139.snc4/148167_10150091456227279_618872278_7551586_2334482_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 237px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1139.snc4/148167_10150091456227279_618872278_7551586_2334482_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1126.snc4/148894_10150091456457279_618872278_7551593_6108828_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 316px; height: 237px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1126.snc4/148894_10150091456457279_618872278_7551593_6108828_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1224.snc4/155616_10150091455067279_618872278_7551565_5641907_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 402px; height: 300px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1224.snc4/155616_10150091455067279_618872278_7551565_5641907_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs586.ash2/150839_10150091460672279_618872278_7551673_3082291_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 321px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs586.ash2/150839_10150091460672279_618872278_7551673_3082291_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>I am ranked 25th out of 300 plus contestants for my cat, should I sprint to the finish (instead of walked) I would have been better coz the results showed 2 guys beating me by 0.01 of a sec.

Anyway its been a rather busy period ever since then... apart from that 2 runs... Had the Annual River Regetta competition, which was good (not great), and am currently considering "retirement" from that sport. Some did drop the hint, and I am having second thought, but since the season is over, it really gives me the time to think about next year. One of the major New Year Resolution on the way for settlement is to participate in all the race I most humanly (and financially) can...<br /><br />Anyway back to my race... the team didn't get the result (Expat GOLD) they wanted, but we came in Silver, and many other awards in the open cat. I have to be very proud to say we are the strongest expat team in Singapore!!!<br /><br />After race, its work work work... and of course a great long weekend follows...SHOPPING!!! haha but didn't buy much as I realize i have so much clothes piled up yet to be worn!!! OMG!!! time to clear out old so that new can come in... =P<br /><br />This days its all about work... and of course I have been consider going back to the books. The more or less sure me is hitting a doubtful point. As much as I want to think I am still young, I am not, so this is seriously a consideration for me. For now... is to earn and hopefully save abit of money. I have a bad habit, I always plan how I can spend next month's pay, never a healthy way to spending money coz you never know what is unexpected. have to change have to change.<br /><br />Other than that, nothing much to ratter about already, work is a norm, life is definitely better without HER around. but well, hopefully I can count down and really really be sure.<br /><br />Already have plans in terms of sports for next year... how I wish I look forward to life next year as much as I look forward to sports... haiz...<br /><br />Enjoy 2010 while it last everyone... coz its going wizz past even before u know it....[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-60191996628862888512010-10-11T12:17:00.002+08:002010-10-11T12:19:10.135+08:00Not to be MISSED!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs186.ash2/44890_480232612278_618872278_7166399_2694730_n.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 434px; height: 444px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs186.ash2/44890_480232612278_618872278_7166399_2694730_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Movie to catch.... =P[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-63288204667644912882010-10-09T12:22:00.001+08:002010-10-11T12:15:46.410+08:00PCP at NYP.Now in school(NYP), just ended a seminar regarding the course I would like to pursue. After hearing what they have to say, it made me really think if I am ready for all this. They kept emphasising on "mature learners", kind of a fact that smacks u in the fface telling you that you are no longer young and the decision you make have to be a sure one. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure I can adapt to the challenges ahead, but whether or not financially I can be stable plays a critical role. Parents are not getting any younger, I am not getting any younger. Think think think.<br /><br />That aside, decided to do something with one of the photos with my trip. The feel from the picture itself was so good that I knew something had to be done. As I a blogging with my bb, I don't think I can place it here but u can always see it on my facebook!

Mainly because I am involved in a fun event that involves alot of new friends and all!!! haven't had so much fun since April.<br /><br />Will update more laters!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-64510400115392968962010-07-26T10:57:00.003+08:002010-07-26T14:19:08.633+08:00Weekend!!!This weekend has been pretty good, nice weather, good company... Lets start from Friday then. Met up with my diver frens after a long day work, managed to steals sometime to pop by Zara to take a look at the sale, which is really DISAPPOINTING, probably because they didn't have a really impressive season, either that, too impressive that everything nice was sold out before this sale hit. So I met them at Acid, had a red wine and a glass of whiskey, so nice to chill with a bunch of friends just to unwind and catch up. Exciting plan to take advance, or rather, just me promoting and jio-ing pple to take so that we can all make the Jan trip to philippines!!! (praying I can go) Short but very sweet evening. did alot of crazy multishots that pple in the pub must be thinking we are crazy camwhores. Muaahaha<br /><br />Saturday started the day with physio, painful yet good experience, coz really need to loosen the knots that is straining my back, but really draining after the session, not too sure why. After that went on a Muay Thai Shop excursion, took a look at The Muay Thai Shop in Haji Lane, not a very big space but definitely equiped with "branded goods" it was Fairtex and Boon galore!!! how tempted for a pair of Fairtex, my pair of twins was all I used for awhile. Considering.<br /><br />After that went to Golden Mile to take a look, got 2 pairs of the cheaper alternative, am seriously going back to training in August once pay comes in, too much procrastinating, the trial session with Joei really reminded me how much I miss the kick of bags, punching of pads and the smell of the thai oil. WAIT FOR ME!!! muahahaha<br /><br />After that was db training, didn't have the best turn out but was enough to fill one boat, probably coz its post race so the training (in my opinion) is a little sloppy. Had to pace, not enjoying it but well there is bound to be good days and bad day from training. After that met buddys for food and MJ, was initally thinking of heading to pump room to party, but ended up a quiet affair which is good also. Played till 5am, will be awhile to the next day as Li Hao is posted to Shanghai to work!!! Have fun bro!!! keep us posted yah!!! See you in 3 months time!<br /><br />Sunday morning, met Amelia for a little tanning of at the beach, at 9am (got home at 5ish slept 6am, woke up 8am to prepare!!!) haha had to wear shade to cover my tired eyes. The sun was awesome yesterday but didn't stay out too long, honestly the best way to spend the weekend. Saw someone training, thinking for tri as he swam and ran on the beach, very motivational. Went to walk walk around in RWS, visited Hersey Factory for the first time, thou I dun have a sweet tooth, they gave up some M&Ms like things and it was awesome, that bit help me stay awake for pretty long... muahahaha. Finally got a chance to see some shops in RWS, went to Victoria Secret (Amelia wanted to take a look) Suprisingly the only lingeries they sell are tongs and undies but no bras, considering the fact that their specialty is the "set" oh well... apart from that are all the ATAS shops, guess to cater to casino winners I presume. =P didn't really watch much but rush to vivo to witness my dive friend, Joei play her part for charity as she shave her head!!!! woohoo will post some picture as soon as I upload them. Kudos to her and all the brave souls (especially women) for their sacrifice for charity<br /><br />After that, we went on a journey to Golden Mile as Amelia is planning a super last min short trip with her fren. Super envy lor. Then Amelia left, (reckon she is too shagged from all the walking and also the sun) while me and Joei embark on the journey to the Muay Thai Shop where she got her Branded handwraps. Then its movie time!!! watched sourcerer's apprentice, not too bad but the plot is abit weak, seem like a reap off harry potter, or pehaps after HP, the benchmark has been set.<br /><br />Thats my weekend, pretty impressed with myself, looking back now, the number of hours I slept and still managed to get so many things done, This weekend...hmm plan is to go the new dbl O but tbc as nothing is finalised yet. Cannot wait for pay to be in so that I can go back to training... 1 week and counting!!![b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7014464.post-55657243675593522402010-07-23T13:34:00.002+08:002010-07-23T13:50:10.908+08:00SYOGThis month and a half will be working from a different environment, working with different people and also answering to a different boss (thou there is not really much difference in this aspect) hahaha. Anyway its enjoyable so far, things might be a little messy to begin with but since everyone work as a team, we cover each other's asses so that we will not give chance for anything too drastic to take place.<br /><br />This week really flew right past, without realising it, its already FRIDAY, time flies when u have things to do. Last time, I will have ample time to look forward to the end of work day so that the really fun (aka training) begins, but now, time just pass enjoyably and before I know it...training, MORE FUN TIME!!! woohoo<br /><br />So far the past week has been really good. would expect it to be better as the days goes, things are going pretty much smooth on my end. Still prefer the result oriented environment. Everyone around here are very friendly, from my understanding, they are from various different events firm. There is even a "dresscode" of the day, got pulled in to join them, and today is BLACK, what a colour right? hahaha but nevertheless its fun. FYI, fine will going into a cash pool that will contribute to the party after the entire event is over. hahaha Sweet<br /><br />What workout has been done this week, well now that the race is over, I will be concentrating on my cardio and weightloss regime, still trying to get to that magic number of 70. Been going back to old training areas, and doing my usual Fat Bird Run at Raffles, for those who are free are more than welcome to join me. Apart from that, went back for KK's swim training on Wednesday, love the feel of swimming after such a long time, but all my techniques are back to square one, so yeah its back to the drawing board for me for swimming.<br /><br />Apart from that, went back to visit Alvin and the gang on tuesday and brought Joei to take a look at the Gym on thursday, What we thought was a look see session turn into a free trial when Alvin asked us to do some skipping. Muahaha but did really enjoy the feeling of dripping sweat during the workout I must say. He got Yeo (still as fit as ever) to show us the basics, and really got refresher course for me since I have not been back for like....a year or more plus. So the evening was more or less bag works.<br /><br />Woke up today with a few bruises on my leg, totally AWESOME!!!! Will like to bring Mei Hua down for training also since she is very keen (and to prove to her that MUAY THAI WELCOMES HER!!!!) hahaha work is ok today, foresee a little OT, will head down town to do some Nike shopping before meeting the dive gang for a drink.<br /><br />Looking forward to a fruitful weekend also, paddling of course and well show my support for the Hair of Hope as Joei GIVES ALL!!! woohoo....<br /><br />That's about it....enjoying life as it is while I can...=P[b]rabbithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351512641196769390noreply@blogger.com
