Pretty sad when its a friday and stuck at home... today is off day and seems like a wasted day altogether, alright not all wasted, at least i got to the gym for a little workout.
Hmm... lets talk more about yesterday, Got to work pretty early as there are some stuff to complete, after work in the evening, head down town and met up with Azre to past him something to be passed to chief clerk, when to do a little window shopping at Celio and Ben Sherman, absolutely in love with the things in there man... argh... tempting... Anyway, evening got to Muay Thai Class, a totally different crowd from Tuesday crowd.. hmm would say more professional crowd, but not as friendly i suppose. Training was less tough, or pehaps i wasn't given that much attention, so when lesson ends i still had tonnes of energy stored within... felt so uncomfortable... wanted to realise them but haven't an idea how. So got home, just kept pumping myself till all those energy more or less got balance..
Today, rest day, but didn't really sleep in, haha didn't wan to waste the morning away, besides i have been having this weird dreams for the past few days, so its have been waking me up many times in the night, breaking my slp, so can say i didn't have undisturbed sleep. and plus all the workout i have been getting, adds on to my fatique i suppose... was so worried that i woke up today with a hoarse throat. Immediately got a huge glass of water and drink before it worsen, and thx god it didn't.
The rest of the day is pretty much spent at home, till about evening when i hit the gym... can say I enjoyed my workout today, pehaps due to not using all the energy within me... it spurred me harder for today's workout. But i still did in moderation as i have dragonboat for the next couple of days and dun wanna tire myself out. talking about dragonboat, we are into the final month before the race... and next weel they start the Heaven (hell) week training, where training is on a daily basis..., I of course cannot make it on the tuesday and thurday due to muay thai, but i will try making it for the rest of the week... hmm pehaps i might go for muay thai only on tuesdays... well have to see how ba...
Well this is friday for me i suppose... tml will be the women's time trial... so hafta be there earlier as they plan to leave the beach a little earlier then usual as the trials can take quite awhile at times... Nothing much to update i suppose... hehez.. take care and enjoy the weekends!!

Time Trials!!!
Last weekend we have a time trail session for the mens during dragonboat training... Meaning a pair will be selected and placed in a small boat together with 2 others, a sweep and a timer (so total 4 in a boat). Then one side will paddle at a time for a distance of 200m with timing taken every 50m. Below is my results...
Know the prints are abit small, but those highlighted ones are my timing, I did both left and right. Had to do left twice as there was an overwhelming amount of people doing right, so just to balance the boat. My results for my right was 2min 11sec and my left is 2min and 2.03min for the 1st and 2nd attempts respectively. Not wonderful as i wanted to hit under 2 mins, but there is already improvement compared to my last time trial...
Alright, thats all for now... ciaoz

Tired...
I have not do any workout the entire day, and yet I feel restless the entire day... lack of slp? overworked? i am not sure... but i need to rest, if not with this kind of weather, the sick bug is bound to come knocking on my door, something i won't want happen, especially when the race is only three weeks away...
Hmm... got back from work a few hours ago, haha finally doing something other then data entry, finally feel that my diploma is of some use for my current job... hehez... Well let me talk more about my muay thai lesson den. Actually wanted to take picture of my little accident from muay thai yesterday for a little edition of "Gross", but I am too lazy to even get my bum off the chair now, so i guess i will just describe den... hehe, well... its a pretty common thing you will get i suppose when friction is involve, naturally blister grew, and as u turn blister bursted and the skin is left dangling.... so yah thats pretty much what happen to me when i was practising my kicks, and surprisingly, i continued with that, hahah almost causing another blister to grow within the broken skin... haha hopefully it will recover well enough for my lesson tml night...
Other injuries i got is just the common bruises and well a sore left foot, which i strangly got after and not during training, apparently this old man on a bicycle drop a bag of cans right beside me as he rode past, so thinking he might have heard the loud crashed of the cans, i took my time to pick it up for him... When i looked out, it turns out that the old man must have difficulty hearing or something, he actually rode off without it, so i gave chase... and thats when i felt this sharp pain from the left sole of my feet. The more i ran the more painful it got... so i gave up after awhile and left that big of cans on another bike, which i presumed also collect old stuff, judging on the number of things that is already on it (lucky whoever that is...) Then in had to literally hope on a leg to catch a train back home...
Current status of my leg, pretty ok, at least not that pain as yesterday. Very looking forward to class tml... haha i guess its because i put in too much yesterday, thats why i am feeling the after-effect of losing too much energy all at once... tml will try to take things easier i supppose... hehez... Alright lah, guess thats all i have for now... Tml work and muay thai, friday might not need to work, yipee! long weekend, at least a day rest before dragonboat... hmm maybe go tanning? haha depends on the weather i suppose... anyway... Take care pple... Signing Out. MR. RYAN!!!

Last time and first time....
Today is the start of a new chapter of life... Yesterday is the last day of my NSF life... haha and i am offically ORDed!!! woohoo... the feeling is definately great... Got back to camp at about 2 plus, walked past the guard house for the last time with my camp pass, walked passed the ever so familiar cook-house which i spent many lunch there, and a final climb up the slope to the whitehouse...
The place was awfully quiet when i got there... i suppose its because majority of them have yet return from Korea, as I entered the office, i was welcomed by the familiar voices of Azre and Zul, Azre being the HQBO for the day, and Zul was helping him out with the deepa-raya celebration thingy.Then was off to chief-clerk to help me settle all the documents. Most of the incharge was out so have to get signature from other high authorities before i got reunited with Mr. Pink... The first time i saw Mr. Pink 2 years after i gave it away in tekong, almost couldn't recoginsed myself if not for the name and number on it... haha... But nevertheleast a good reunion.... After that, spent sometime loitering in the whitehouse, since i know i dun get to do that anymore... Got some drink from the canteen, then went to look for my friends at the lower lounge and all before making my exit from the place... Before going down the hill, I complete my chin-up regime for the last time, something i have done for the past year or so everytime i had to fall in, i would do my chin-ups first.. and there was no turning back from there... Got a cab home, took a shower packed some stuff and head down town for my Muay Thai lesson 1.
Got there, Alvin (the coach) was already waiting, was asked to skip for 3 mins with a super thick skipping rope... tiring... but really worked my forarm as i try to push faster speed... very good warm up. den i had a 1-on-1 lesson with Alvin, on basic jabs, hooks, uppercups, knee, and kicks(which gave me a huge blister on my toe... haha) Alvin was kinda suprised the rate i picked up the sport and honestly, so was I. and as time passed, more pple came and lesson was proper... hehez... group, honestly u dun get to learn much, half my time was spent holding the punching pad for other member to punch... not that i dun learn anything, i get to see how others did i at least. We ended the session with cool down crunches and push-up.. haha the push-up was a killer for me...
There I have already made a number of friends, Gary, a teacher at NYJC, and apparently a friend of Mr. Mak(my fren in SAFband) Joani, currently unemployed, Daniel Regional sales, and Ryan, student, sec 3 liitle boy... hehez... went out to dinner with them before heading home... was tiring but really enjoyed the sport...
Thats on my last and first, last day in camp an as a NSF, and my first time in Muay Thai. Now, its time I go shower and head for work... will update more soon... looking forward to Muay Thai tml already!!!

When the Pain sets in...
This past week have been pretty much "smooth" for me... Would say nothing really special happened to me... Oh except for friday pehaps, was in office doing work and as i was just about to finish up with things, i recieved a call like 6.10pm from California Fitness for an interview like 7pm. I was like shocked when i first recieved the call... haha, as a matter of fact, I actually sent in my resume just for fun, thinking what the heck, just give it a shot... haha
Anyway, went down to California Fitness, at Raffles Place. Filled in some form, then met their manager, Nelson, friendly guy, stern but interactable, didn't really felt traumatised talking to him. He asked me a few questions den kindly walked me through the job scope i would face if i really became a personnel trainer. Its no bullshit man, the job is tough, and alot of sacrifies... i told Nelson that i would consider before i make my decision, and really, i will consider. After that, met up with Angie, who didn't go Oktoberfest as it was packed (Corperate Night), had dinner at some soup places, which suprisingly filled me up, thou its just soup and for the fact i was really hungry... After that, walk about and met up with herbert. Chilled out at Pauliners, and had really talked alot with them... haha first time i actually confide... haha and strangly, i felt lighter of the chest, pehaps its been in me so long that its have unnoticingly became a burden to me... hehez... glad i got everything out... Sorry guys to have to make you guys hear me whine... thx thou
Guess my wounds from wisdom tooth will take awhile to heal and alcohol is really not a good option right now. whenever i have a drink, the pain is intense man... haha.. Anyway, just have to pop in a few pain killer and everything is fine i suppose. Now to training, went for both days despite the haze... haiz, hate the sickening haze lor, causing so many pple to fall ill and not able to give 100% for training... I guess its affecting me too... Must say the training is not really hard, but i am feeling fatigue from it... hopefully i dun fall ill coz its really not the best time...
Muay thai on tues, its officaly, already made arragement with Alvin, so looking forward to it... haha hopefully i will be able to make it... and guess what else is on tuesday... haha ORD lor... see Mr. Pink and regain Mr. status...woo hoo!!! 2 more days... haha well thats all i suppose... ciaoz

Friday the 13th.... nothing to be afraid off...
Taking a little break off work now... been staring at the com for awhile and dealing with a transaction is already to kill me... hehez... but well when u gotta work you gotta work. This things about Friday the 13th being unlucky and all... well its an english belief i suppose and it won't affect me... coz i am a CHINESE!!! heez...
Today, got up and went to the gym before heading down for work. won't say its dog tired as well have been pretty relax with my workload. No activity tonight, guess will be rotting at home i suppose. Yesterday, got to town abit early, coz ended work early, so went to walk around and window shop abit. Some interesting new find... hehe here is for all the shoppers out there... Start at herren den. The new Levis is superb... huge and many new things to see, there is also a new watch shop by the name of Gallery, that took over the old "wallet shop" sell rather nice watches and Esprit jewellarys, so ladies can take a look.
Erm most happening would have to be paragon. Introduction of alot of new shops. Ben Shermans is finally open. Erm, a new place Celio was having a private opening function yesterday so never walk in to take a look, but majority guys clothes so yeah.. guys go shop yah... hehez... and with that, i suppose explains the reason there was alot of guy models ard paragon yesterday. haha girls are so going to kill me for not informing... Not really sure they are model, but to me they look like as the have all the potential to be one... face, killer eyes and bods, height, u name it... Next Taka, erm... nothing much have changed. But British India was having End Season Sale so things are going off pretty cheap... worth taking a look. A new shop, Bull & Pull (or izit the other way round? cannot remember) not bad.... like their clothes... haha too bad was window shopping... coz to broke to shop if not... hahah... well thats all for now...
After that got to The Cathey to watch "World Trade Center" with Sherine and Adeline, must say its ok only, not bad, but i still prefered United 93. Feel so bad that Adeline got gastric waiting for us and not having dinner thinking we were getting popcorns for the movie (which in the end we didn't. After the movie, went back to PS for some corn soup at MOS Burger (for adeline) before heading home. Yeah pretty much ends the day... Argh, so wanna shop... who wanna be my sugar mommy!!! hahaha
Alright den... thats all for now... happy friday the 13th pple.... Do you feel lucky? Do you? heez

Anyway after work today, went down to PS to walk walk, since mum is doing her chores at home, didn't want to get home too early and be in her way... Ended of at a coffee place to sip on some coffee and have some toast before heading home... Infront of me sat a group of old men, old enough to be my grandads. They seem so happy chatting away... the scene you would see at olden time kopitiams instead of a crowded and aircon corner of a shopping mall. What more spoiled the atmosphere was the music the place was playing, Techo version of "Tong Hua", what can be worse. But that didn't seem to bother the old people enjoy their cup of coffee. A really old thought came to me suddenly, will i be able to be like them next time when i grow old.... sipping coffee enjjoying the dying moments of my life in luxuary.
I wonder....
Today, 2 guys added me in friendster... total stranger... and one with the "G" word right in my face man...haha seems like i am getting quite abit of popularity eh... haha too bad its popularity off the wrong crowd... haha but still, its flattering and I thank them...

Shoo haze.... GO AWAY and DUN COME BACK!!!!
Its strange as usually at this time of the year as monsoon creeps closer, you will expect more rain, but these year, its seem delayed again, and when you need it most. The Haze is really crazy now man... PSI last read 150 before i came online, and when you looked out the window... its just a misty screen of smoke man... really terrible.
Whats really crazy, must be going down for a paddle despite this stupid weather i suppose. Well, was kinda reluctant to go when i looked out the window this morning. (when PSI reads 130). But then again, i promise Angie, who is gearing for a paddle for ages, that i would accompany her down since this is one of her rare occasion where she gets an off day. So yeah, as the afternoon came, the PSI dipped to about 90ish, so i just went ahead. Despite the haze, a commentable crowd still turned out for training. From a distance, saw a very familiar back, wasn't really sure till that figure turned and there he was, Kam, haha was really taken aback man, coz he was suppose to be in Hong Kong and yeah... was really much of a suprised... but its good to see him thou after such awhile. And he brought along a suprise too, he was back for an ex-colleage and senior of mine, Veny's wedding. I was really thrown off when he broke the news to me... haha it really came so suddenly to me... haha alot of suprises for one training.
Alright now to training, Yong paired me up with john up front to learn pacing. I sure have lot to learn as i seem to rush the tempo abit but i actually feel I am pretty alright... but i guess he was compromising to my pace most of the time, which allow me to feel that way. I won't say training was really tough, but for the fact that the weather wasn't wonderful, it worsen that already tough training. We paddled past Shears bridge and into the domain of the esplande, and i tell you, the view was a screen of smoke man... can hardly see the high-rise man...
After training, stayed awhile longer for a little chit chat session with the rest of the gang, allowing Angie chance to know more of the people there as well. Suprisingly, she seem to blend in better than i do... haha I guess i just lack the vocal talent like her... Afterwhich was home, got really sinful for the fact I let greed got the better of me, bought alot of food from the supermarket... and I FINISHED IT ALL UP!!! now I am bloated and sinful man..haha oh well, hopefully tml will take away some sinfulness from me... hehe... dreading the run thou, in this kinda weather... but den again.. live as to go on i suppose...
Well thats all i have for now... will update when i have the time den... Cheers

It just got worse....
OMG, I am peeling... haha as in my beautiful tan is peeling off and patches are developing on my arms and back... haiz... and to think i got the nicest tan... guess nice things really don't last. And thats not all... the stitches i got (for my wisdom), they are loosening up... one actually got so bad that i can actually feel the hole in the corner of the mouth... now i have to rinse my mouth so badly to make sure no food particles get stuck in there...
Today, thought was gonna spent my entire mooncake festival alone. (oh yah Happy Mooncake Festival to all, hehe abit late, but better late den never yah...) Anyway, its not like really celebrate, but just that a season spent alone is not really my style... Thank god Azre asked me out ring hunting with him... haha thx again man.. hehez, well the ring he got was really nice, haha his friend didn't got the wrong person to go ring scouting for him important ring lah. The one ring that rule them all, at least for his life that is, coz its an engagement ring... hehez... Anyway afterwhich, was gossips gossips and more gossips lor... hehez... thats the enjoyable party about out with azre i suppose... get to hear all the interesting stories that i used to get first hand when i am still in camp... but unfortunately i will now only have to get out for azre... but better so, coz he make them sound so interesting... hehez...
The more I walk, the more the things in the shops enticed me... hehez... now i know the reason i don't do shopping that much anymore, The more i see those thing... the more they call out to me... "Buy me! Buy me! You Need Me!" they say... hahaha well at least thats all i say... but lucky my reminder is always my wallet.. which is empty... and i refuse to use my cards... coz i will most DEFINATELY go crazy using it... haha LIMIT is all i have to do... and waiting... hehez...
Well, its been a not bad day, if not for the haze, the day will be perfect as we found a couple of spots that we can actually chill, but was acutally outdoor, so yah... we won't want to be sniffing soot and went for a little ice cream indoor instead... after that is back home....
The hole in the mouth is really worrying me abit.... apart from the slight swell that comes with it... hope nothing goes wrong... Tml, dragonboat... haha was suppose to rest... but i guess both my mind and body is unwilling to rot at home on a sat i suppose. hopefully the haze can clear abit by tml... hehez... well thats all den...

Nice trip do comes with a heavy price....*sob*
Ladies and gentlemen... Its brings me great despair to announce this news to you... I too cannot believe it can happen so quickly... but now that it happened, there is really much work to be done to reverse it... Here it goes, (*take deep breath) I, Ryan Koh, have just gained another 1 FULL KG, that makes me one more kg away from my goal, and snowballing to total weight needed to be lost to 7 KG!!! its a tragedy, a disaster!!!! Desperate measure is already been imposed to prevent further tragedy from happening... I DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY UPON MYSELF... thus if you guys plan buffet or any big meal gathering... can count me out for the time being till i get myself sorted out... Thx
Enough on that tragedy... now to my redang trip. For all those that didn't know, yes, i was back at redang (for the 2nd time), nothing much have change, the beautiful beach, more more tea inn, all still nicely intact... Some nice scenic views...
And this time round with me on this trip is the 2 pretty ladies, Sherine and Adeline. Below the last time was with my polymates, this time too, but just from my band... hehe...

Sava Sprint & May's Birthday!!!
Argh, never in my life felt so terrible after a dragonboat race, usually after a race, despite not bringing any medal home, there is still a sense of achievement coz our team would always bring home something, but this time round our team not only didn't bring anything back, worse, coz we perform seriously under expectation. Reason being the ratio of newbies and experienced people are almost on par... Guess there is lots to train if we wan to win in November. AND I WANT MY GOLD MEDAL!!!
This weekend have been really busy, had Sava Sprint and May's birthday to attend... practically exhausted when I got home sunday. This is how things went...
Saturday, got up early as I need to get to Bedok reservior @ 10 am, dropped of at Eunos and so happend to see Dawn (fellow DBter) so hitched a ride to the place... got there, helped set up and waited for the race. I was in the Men's Open Division, and was chosen pacer (meaning the very front of the boat setting the pace of the row) for that boat, heavy responsibility and stressful as its my very first time, and i am pretty sure I am not up to it coz I have always been the "engine" of the boat till this race. But i left it as it is coz i am sure Wayne (captain) had his reason for putting me there.
Anyway, as i said, the results wasn't very ideal, and since its such a short race for Sat (200m) everything was very competitive and i guess we lost out due to lack of competitive experience. The day ended relatively early for me, so i made an early exit as I need to attend May's birthday that evening. Got over to Tampines SC to get a shower before heading over to the chalet, didn't wanna go all sexy in my dragonboat wear. heez, den loiter around at tampines for awhile, didn't wanna be the first to be there, got some wine to share at the party. By the time i got there, some of them were already there, so yeah... spent the evening taking pictures talking crap like what we used to do in poly... haha missed those good old days.
Anyway, we chatted till about 3 plus, den went to cheers @ downtown east, when we return it was already 4am, and i needed some rest before the race. Got up 615am, wash up and left for race ground again... As usual got there pretty early, so kinda rested while waiting. The race for the day was sightly longer compared to Sat, its 500m. Slightly tougher but definately more fun coz you can really feel the exhaustion when u touch the finish line, the grasping for air and all. In one of my race, one of the paddlers paddle even snapped into 2 when we charged off at the starting point, making us handicapped by one, but we still carried on as there was no time to pass him a spare. By the time we passed the finish line, there was no air in my at all man, i was so drained that i almost passed out... lucky for me i didn't, got back to the tent, grab a drink and i am ok again. After the entire event ended, we all headed to John Magrath (chairman of the team) new apartment, and i tell you, its beautiful man... pool table, swimming pool.. haha its a full bungalow. Got a little debrief session from Wayne, and him being encouraging always, was still very kind with his use of words so as to not dampen everyone's spirits. But having known him for so long, can tell his disappointment. haiz, felt like I have let him down, so have to really work my ass out for November.
Hmm... yah guess thats all that happened over the weekend, went to do some shopping just now, retail theory sure feels good after not doing do for awhile... but well i guess its only once in a blue moon since now that I am pretty much jobless. Alrighty i guess that all... will share the photos some other day, there seem to be a problem with the photo function.. Cheers

A little bit of Langkawi and Phuket... Day 3
Hey, good morning everyone!!! must be wondering why I am so early today right? well okok not very early already but earlier then i usually comes online, heez, well the reason being i just came back from a run with my 2 friends Angie and Jessie, haha Angie initated it, so i obliged, went for a little jog/brisk walk around gardens. The air is fresh and since we were going really slow, got time to enjoy the view around us.
Got home like an hour ago, took a good warm shower before coming online, haha refreshed and really to start of the day, which basically have nothing in plan at the moment... hehez... maybe dropping by town to get stuff and maybe some photos developed. Wanted to get down yesterday but went to check out Alvin's Muay Thai Class instead. Its some cool stuff man... make me so want to start lor... but guess i won't until after wisdom tooth extraction i guess... which is about 2 weeks away, haiz get it done and over with... hopefully will still stay smart, haha already cannot get any dumber anyway so nothing to lose... heez...
Ok, back to the trip, day 3, must be thinking i would slp in as it was a long night from phuket right? WRONG, haha i still got up at 7 in the morning, did my gym regime before showering and had breakfast, by 10 we gathered as we dock Langkawi, and my parents have booked a tour. Really wanted to stay on board thou, as the sun was superb for a good tan... but tagged along since its already paid for. Cannot really stand the tour guide for this trip thou, kept repeating the words Langkawi, even my mum got worried we will get nightmare of the place that night... haha
Anyway, first stop, Eagle Park, that is how Langkawi got its name apparently, "Lang" which means bird, in this case the eagle, and "Kawi" is marble, the colour of which the eagles. And according to the guide, once pple see picture of this eagle, they will know that you've been to Langkawi, so here it is...

Other then that was some shopping around those duty free shops, which as usual i didn't get anything, mainly the reason is there is nothing much to buy and yah parents not around when there is... no paitence... haha but nvm lah, since its pretty much their trip, i tagged along so no complains... heez... Its was captain's night so we had to dress better for this evenings dinner. here is a family pic of us at our dining area.
Oh oh and some pics of sunset, breath taking man...

A little bit of Langkawi and Phuket... Day 2
Day 2 of the trip, started off the day at 730am, had a little difficulty slping, maybe not used to the constrain in the space as i slept on the upper deck, but well still manage to catch a few hours rest, thats one thing army have taught me, sleeping in the worse conditions. haha...
Started off my day with a little workout in the gym, to my amazement, there are already people working out, too bad i didn't take picture of the gym, but imagine this, running machines faceing the vast ocean, the view was awesome, anyone who steps in there won't wanna leave... As for me, i head straight for the free weights corner, did some stretching and start pumping some iron... haha the gym attendent was very friendly, one friend i made on board... And after sweating it out, went back to my room hit the showers before going for my breakfast at Belle Vista. here is how my first breakfast looked like...

Can't get any better than that right... haha and its right beside the window, so u get good food and good view at the same time... really enjoyable. Whats best, its buffet style... haha so there is more from where those came from... haha. Haven't been so pampered for such a long time.
After that fulfilling meal, spent the rest of the day walking around the decks, casino, and explore their different facilities. In the evening, the ship docked over at Phuket where we had our day tour and have to be back by 130 am, so we disembarked, and got on with the tour.
First stop, a buddhist temple on Phuket, not sure if its the only one, but its beautiful, and there is a legend behind it, which is quite interesting....

And some "artistic" ones too
Afterwhich, was the Cashew Nut Factory, where they showed us the processing of cashew nuts, and of course being a healthy snack, my parent bought a few packs under abit of influence (from me that is). Presenting to you, the world's largest cashew nut!!!
Then we head off for dinner at their local restraunt and afterwhich was to Patong beach for some SHOPPING!!! haha, and i guessed you guys won't believe me, but i didn't buy a single item... some minor hiccups between my parents and being sandwiched in between, there is nothing much i can do but kept quiet and glance through stuff... tempted at certain times, but well its hard to shop with impatient parents around, get wat i mean... hehez.. Enough on that, at least the evening ended off in a good note with "Simon's Caberate" as the finale, aka "Ah Gua" Show... Honestly some of them really looked very good... and no wonder they prefer to be gers den guys... here is some picture i too with them after the show... Photographer was my dad.
Final picture with the tour guide of the day, Sally, very good tour guide, really know how make the trip really interesting and enriching for us...
That kinda wrap things up for Phuket, a place i will definately visit again, but definately not with my parents... haha... Ciaoz will have more coming on!!! Thats all for now...
