21 AUG Long Long RUN!

Like i always say, the best way to pull thru a workout is to sleep thru it! And yes! i slept for 2hour 48min this morning! LOL! I din expect myself to go so long. I tot i would just add 10mins to the amount i clock last sunday and i did more than expected. HAHA!

Due to some event, i shifted my tuition to sunday so i am unable to join TeamHundredAndEighty over at ECP. I went out to test a new run road; run to MR, 1loop and back. So i go by Yio Chu Kang Rd, Upper Thomson Rd, turn in to Island Club Rd to MR. Did a loop and return on the same Rd back to hougang. I was quite worried as 2hours has lapsed when i exit Island Club Rd during the return journey. I was thinking, ' Wah Siao, still got about 10k to run, HOw sia ' .

With the ' sleep thru' mentality, i managed to reach home safely. HAHA! I was so de-hydrated, that i finished a 1.5L bottle within seconds. It was an awesome 'sleep'. I dreamt about monkeys, reservoir , hills, and some irritating cyclist. HAHA!. I shall do this road once every month.

20Aug : Let's talk Event At K-union

This afternoon, i will be attending the ' Let's Talk ' event held at cineleisure K-box. It is an highly anticipated event as it's an exclusive chance to catch episode 1 of the show. It was really a fun-filled event as we jiong-ers get together again. Wearing the name tag again makes me fill so much younger. HAHA!

I din really have the chance to mingle around with them during filming and also i din attend the last episode (because of tuition )which the atmosphere is maximum. So, this event really give me the opportunity to know more about them. And i cant believe that we are stuck with some 'meh meh game' for hours. LOL! we played from 'xing wang ' to somerset, to circle line then NEL den hougang. It reminds me of my poly life when i used to be so on in camps. Now, i am so on in running. HAHA! But at least, i am still a ' camper' within a runner . HAHA!

Being part of jiong really makes a difference in my life. It is the first time that i will see myself on TV. I can proudly boast to my grand son, great grand son, great great.. grand son that ' ah gong is on TV' HAHA. Well, guess there is always an end to everything, let's see when is the next time i will be wearing that name tag again! SO LONG!

Lasstly,

Calling out to all, 7 sept, 9pm ,remember to catch ' let's talk 2' on channel U !!!!

Play nation + Graveyard tempo on nation day!

The Scape beside cine is really a good place to have fun especially PlayNation. Went there with melissa and wendy and we indulge ourselves in a game of Mario World! Can you imagine 3 players Mario World?

It was quite tough as any of ur action can cause your partner to die and if all 3 die at the same time, u have to start from the check point again. LOL! We cant even clear world 1. Den was the game Raving Rabbit , some epic game with no meaing but fun. hahah!

Went CCAB for a run at 530. I gotten help from a bus driver, a passenger, a policeman and a taxi driver and none of dem heard of CCAB. It is a centralised track in the middle of the city and none know of it. LOL!.

Actually the police officer directed me to the right direction but I ' Kay kiang ' go confirm the location with the taxi driver. He told me i was walking the opp direction. OMG! SO i ask him drive me there. Then, SIA called me and said it's the opp direction. I should have trusted the policeman.

The amazing thing was i showed the taxi driver the location on the directory and he can still go wrong way. LOL! Nevertheless, i still managed to reach CCAB.

The Graveyard is really a good place for some fast running. The environment is cooling and terrain is undulating which gives some challenge to the course. I shall go there again next week!

Special Torchlight

Smart Professer: Hey i invented this special torchlight! It works on solar energy.

Ordinary Student: COOL PROF! so how does it work.

Smart Professer: see this panel here? It confirm energy from the light to power up
the torch.

Ordinary Student: SO the torch can only be used in the day?
What happen when there is no light?

Smart Professer: Oh simple. When there is no light, u just have to use another torch
light and shine at it to provide the light source

Ordinary Student: WOW! That's the greatest invention of the century!

7 AUG LONG RUN

Went down to ecp on my own this time and i managed to reach by 7am. Felt very bad to take SIA's car everytime. Like treating him as a driver. So, i decided to see if i can go down on my own, and YES I CAN!

HIt the wall at today's run during the last k. I jus follow the hard pace as far as i can until i empty my tank. LOL! Probably is the fatigue from yesterday IPPT. I sort of strained by lower right back during my SBJ. NOw i have limited range of motion but is better today. I can bend further down now. And also mainly due to the pace.

During the last k, my body feel fast but in reality, i was jogging. I have to stop to a walk to prevent myself from collapsing. When i walk, i still have the ' fast running ' feeling. Luckily there was a nearby water point from Tri-factor run. I pick up a isotonic and my heart rate went down. Finished off the last 4min of my run.

The moment i finished, i jus whack the soya milk and soyjoy bean curb. LOL! ANd also bananas. There were lots of leftovers so i took a loaf of bread and 1 bunch of bananas.

What a sunday morning!

Simple things in life

It was a hot hot evening as i set my foot on the trail of TAMPINES ECO GREEN for a 'issit running?' It's just another way of saying ' easy running '. It is to exaggerate the pace; so slow that when haile gebrselassie run beside me , he will ask ' issit running? ' .

As i made my entrance, there was this group of primary school kids on excursion.

' eee naked... (laughing).. eee '

I smile at them and ran pass. Then i saw another group of pirmary kids on execursion and they keep laughing among themselves as i ran pass them.

On the 2nd loop, the kids who were supposed to take photos of the ecosystem, aimed their camera at me.

' yeah i got it... come see.. (laugh) '

I think i ran pass them like 4-5 time and they jus keep laughing.

Hmm...running naked really is a big deal. First, u prevent urself from getting heat injuries in this kind of tropical climate. Secondly, u save urself the trouble of washing a top. Thirdly, u brings happiness to kids!

SO WAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. LETS start running topless! ( only for guys )

TOTAL OWNAGE!

Woman asks: If I sleep with 3 men, everyone calls me a slut. But when a man sleeps with 8 girls, everyone calls him a real man. How come?

Captain America The 1st Avenger (CATFA)

Watched CATFA at NEX with 'Stager Peh'. Was a good movie, with cool action scenes. If you watched IRONMAN and THOR, its a must to watch this film to complete the 3/4 of the MARVEL pictures. The last quarter will be out in 2012.

Technology is really amazing. I was shocked to see Chris Evans in that miniature body. "I'm just a kid from booklyn". Even thought he is small, he got a big heart! He got the guts the size of the universe! . A Super hero movie like this brings accross a simple yet powerful message 'Many a time in life its not about whether are you capable, rather do you have the courage to uphold it'.

Oh i really want to comment about his shield. I can feel the effect coming towards me on the cinema seat every single time he toss his shield. The feeling is so real as if you are going to get hit by it. And somehow i can feel the pain. HAHA! I think i am crazy...

Well a good movie! Really love the ' old-american-soldier-like' music played through the voice from the radio. Watch it to get wat i mean LOL!

Liang PUO PUO

Rounded up my sunday with Liang PUO PUO the movie on OKTO.. Huuu huuu huu..

I watched that show for like at least 10 time. I watch it everytime i go my cousin house overnight when i was in secondary school, really brings back lots of memories. I can recites all the lines and dictates the story even with my eyes closed.

A pity that all the dialect and vulgarities are replaced with chinese which really spoils the humour. I really see no purpose in doing so. Look at the young kids, they are even more pro in dialect. The more u restrict them, the more rebellious they will be. Why not show it to them, and educate them.

Jack Neo's movies never fail to make you laugh at the same time make you tear. Most importantly, he always addresses topics that are closely related to the society. It is not just an epic comedy but 1 with substance that leaves you pondering about issues that are often neglected.

SO, just forgive him , to err is human, as long as he is remorseful and willing to change for a better, lets give him a chance.

30th July LONG RUN: MACRITCHIE

Long run shifted to MR due to OSIM triathlon at ECP. It was a blessing actually cos i get to have that extra bit of sleep than the usual ECP run. I can wake up at 615am and reach MR by 7.

The run begins with a humble pace as jason bring us on a journey in search of the runners gait shop. We explore around so-chin-chow DR but was to no avail except that we climb this 156.678333333m slope that burns my quads just 15mins into the run. It has been sometime since i run along a hilly course, I tot i am sure going to die at the end when the pace builds up.

We went along upp thomson rd , broadwalk , old thomson rd up till seletar reservoir where we U-turn and hit back to MR. It was quite a scenic run along the stretch of the reservoir.

The pace build up as we hit back to MR. I tot its gonna be a solid long run if i hang on to the pace. I held on to it with mok motivating me at the back. I decided to drop off the pace as we turn in to Lornie rd and ease the last 5min to MR.

Was a solid run , and a solid chicken rice brunch with popiah and KOI at BISHAN and a good tok cok session with SIA and kenneth at YA KUN even tot we order nothing LOL!

Looking forward to next week!
