Need to bring back my soul

2009-10-29T14:31:00.002+08:00

I have down with cough virus and it havent recover for 2 weeks. Haiz. Have been stop exercise for about 1 weeks. Before yesterday training my last run was on last tue which i need a 7 times running up NTU slope. Yesterday went back for my track workout, it was so tough for me especially i having cough. My lung and body and trying to breath to get oxygen but i keep coughing. During the training i also vomit out the medicine which i took around 6pm. I told myself that i need to complete the sets which is given by coach so i complete le. 16 x 400m.

Now my body is aching and weak, later will be going for easy 30 mins run or swim. Then i will be doing stretching hopfully will be fine after the easy 30 mins exercise. Tmr will be my 1st CERT test which i need to do IPPT with atlest a Sliver result then follow by a 9 mins SOC and a thoery test. Pray that i will do well for it. I know my body is not in a very gd condition to do it but i must clear it cos it will determine my allowances for 6 months. SO JIAYOU for myself.

After yesterday training, coach spoke to me and i realize that i really need to do something about my training not just anyhow do. Train smart. He told me when i ready let him know thus he do not want to put pressure on me. I must revenge my aviva 70.3 and my army half marathon which is replace by SCSM 21km.

RUnning team also ahve some conflict which our team captain left the team, haiz. I really do not want to see the team to go down. Hopefully the team spirit will go stronger and of cos we will be keep improving .

BACK IN TRACK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-09T20:50:00.002+08:00

After a disappointed Desaru race and an injuries which stop me from running for 3 weeks. Finally i back in the track again, I realise that my stamina and speed has drop but nvm.

Today went to watch G-Force, the movie was nice and cute. hahhaa. I remember it say that, (i must have faith in myself). It teaches me that i really need to believe in myself especially my body and mind. Pass few weeks, i broke down due to my injuries and i lost a war against myself. I learnt a lesson, maybe i want to see the result too fast not much paitent. I read article about Chris Maccormack ( MACCA) he took 10 yrs to achieve his dream. He mention that during his 10 yrs of training he always has the mindset of giving up but he want to prove people that he can make it so he keep trying and train harder. Then in 2007 he won the Ironman World Championship in Kona Hawaii. After i read the article , i learnt to be paitent in the progress of having the result. It might not be able to achieve it now but i believe that if i dont stop training, i will get the timing which i want in a few yrs time. I will not repeat the same mistake again and i wont lose to myself again. PRESS ON

This coming sunday will be another race for me. Trifactor, actually i dont feel like doing it due to my injuries. Seem like injuries is better alot better now, i will take it as my training and it will be another discipine that tell me not to push my body. I cant wait to take a group photo with the tri21 ppl. We will be wearing our tri 21 trisuit on that day so try to spot all of them. =p.

Last mins mileages 30.4km run. 63km bike. 2.9km swim.

Without the rain there will be no rainbow so dont give up when the pace is too slow.

Birthday

2009-08-16T23:37:00.004+08:00

Today is 16 aug and it is my birthday and is also a big day for those who have been training very hard for the ahm.

Actually i also is one of the runner for ahm too bad i having a muscle pull which make me have to withdraw the race. Next race trifactor i might be withdraw too see how is my condition. It still have about 3 weeks to go, if i am able to go for the race that will be an easy one.

Today morning plan to wake up early for a ride but i still feel my strain on my calf so i have to cancel my ride and return back to my lala land. I went to marina square to meet up the tri 21 training mate in the morning. Most of them did pretty well for their ahm.

Due to my injuries i am going to out from running for around 2 to 3 weeks. During this point of time actually i feel very down. Haiz. When i want to run i cant run, when i can run, i seldom forcus to run. After the desaru race, it really depress me but nvm. I slowly getting better and stronger. I found out that these few week after my desaru race i only lose to someone which is myself so i have to get back to the track. Without this race i wont know that i am so WEAK.

My gd training mate bought a shoe as my present today, he told me that hope this shoe will motivate me for my run. I feel so touch and happy that i still have 1 more gd fren around me. The shoe call as NIKE FREE 5.0

I went to find some info of this shoe. The use of the shoe is to simulate running with barefoot. There are research saying that actually we should run barefoot on track once per week. By doing this excerise it help to strength our feet and reduce some injuries. I am looking forward to wear this shoe mean i hope i can recover fast and back into track soon.

DONT QUIT POEM

2009-08-09T01:01:00.003+08:00

I find out this poem in youtube and i feel it is meaningful. =).

When thing go wrong

as they sometimes will

When the road your trudging

seems all up hill

When funds are low

and debts are high

And you want to smile

but you have to sigh

When care is pressing

you down abit

Rest, if you must.........

but dont you quit

Life is queer with its

twists and turns

As everyone of us sometimes learns

And many a failure turns about,

when he might have won had he stuck it out

Dont give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow

Success is a failure turned inside out

And you never can tell how close you are

it maybe near when it seems so far

So stick to the fight when your've hardest hit

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Hope this poem will enlightment or make a person better. =)

Desaru Race

2009-08-02T22:42:00.003+08:00

During the race my cycling for 1st 2 loops was fine till the last loop my avg 32km/hr drop till 28.8km/hr. what a drop, i have no energy to cycle, leg start to cramp and my nutrient went off. I jsut have nothing to say but to blame myself. I cant even run the 1st loop on my run leg, hardly run. WHY? . Everything just went off for this race. sad and disappointed. No excuse for this time round.

Due to my condition, i shall give up my army half , tri factor will be next race and follow by 21km standard charted. I will like to train very hard for next yr aviva. Really will like to hit 5hrs 45mins or lesser. Coming fri will be another physio section. Really hope to recover fast.

Today 6 jan

2009-01-06T21:16:00.003+08:00

I am back home for a day.

Yesterday monday was a bad day for me. I feeling sad right now. The reason is that i didnt get to selected in sergent course. Haiz. These 4 weeks in PTP season i was trying to go to sergent course. The whole platoon of 37 ppl only 2 ppl selected from sergent course. sad right. Somemore i think i have the ability to go there to be a sergent to lead a section to save lifes and i think that the main reason which movitate me to go to civil defend. It seems that my movitation level has gone 1 level down but nvm. SOmetimes bad thing still happen, i still have 7 weeks to stay together with my bunk mate and platoon which is also not a bad news for me. Another vocation i shall aim will be physical training instructor. Why i aiming that course, cos i do like sport and i think that vocation do really help me alot in my future studies and my sport which i doing now. Understand more about our body and train the right ways. Movitate ppl who are not so sportive to a sportive one. No matter training are hard going to be, i do believe once u put effort in it and know the principes of doing it you will be enjoy it and no complaining about that. Then today i told my platoon commanders about my interest going to PTI, he said he is not the one to going to selected is all about man power. haiz. Everything about manpower, really have no comments about it just feel sad about it. I just hope that i will go to PTI course and complete my 2 years in civil defend.

NEVER SAY CANT

1 month in civil defend

2009-01-04T15:51:00.002+08:00

YOYO, It has been a long time since i update my blog.

So far i already have enlist to civil defend for 1 month and ended my PTP training. Last monday i selected for the sergent interview course. I am very curious about the result whether did i choose to go to the course. The result will know by this coming week ba. So far, my camp mate was okie just that some of them, i find that abit childish ba or i should say childish, knowning that doing some action will get punish yet they still doing same go with me too. hahhaa. Some of the action i feel that really cannot take it. Like wearing the cap other side, sitting on the taxi boot when visit a home visit. Somemore it is a public, whispering @ girl @ public when officer and instructor is around. Nothing to comments about it. hahhaa. SOmetimes it do feel nice when punishment is given as a group and we do as a group, somehow it tough but just bear with it and it will be over. My bunk mate is nice, friendly and funny, my buddy is a nice guy, always looking after me and question me if i having a problem. Sad thing is that we might not be in the same units in 1 week or 2 weeks time. He has been interview for fire fighter as me interview for sergent course. Hopefully everything will go well for both for us. There a funny stuff i will like to share ba. Last fri, when i had my swim class conduct by the Physical Training Instructor ( PTI) i farted in his lesson and he given me a punishment of 50 pumping. Then i did more cos i did till 10 counts i didnt ask him for permission to start so have to start from 0 and when i do still 34 counts, he said that my body not totally up i counted as another count and ask me to start from 30. Everything was fun, when u imaging that during the class , it was quiet and suddenly a loud fart coming out. OH MY GOD. My fren ask me why i dont control it and i told him i cant. LOL. fun fun. i so excited for the interview result hopefully i will know it soon.

Yesterday, i went to alot of places like acers to repair my lappy. went back to my pervious company to return working attire and had a chat with the guys over that. Then went to funan IT mall to collect my bro lappy and lastly went to beach rd to buy my PT shirt. When i reach home i was so tired and i doze off from 1500hrs to about 1815hrs. hahhaa. Then woke up do my normal task ironing my uniform, polishing my boots then that end for my sat .

Today morning woke up around 0530hrs. I went to East coast doing my brick training. Cycle around 65km which included warmup then follow by a 14km run @ east coast park. Tmr having Ippt test, in school called as nafa. Hopefully can get a gold but abit hard cause 2.4km need to finish in 9mins 44 secs and yet i having a cough now, cant really push myself in the run. I shall see tmr. I going to take a nap and then going to pack my bag and prepare to report to camp tonight.

1/2 Ironman

2008-08-29T01:51:00.003+08:00

I think many ppl will figuring what this logo mean? This logo is one of the thing which i will want to achieve in 6 yrs time. An Ironman logo. 3.8km swim, 180km cycling and 42km running. Ppl are asking each another why do people pay money to get themselve suffer. Are they Crazy , Mad or Both. The race fee is expensive too. When they told me the question i will just simply tell them that is when the part that you finish it. It very awesome , seeing supporter cheering for you. During the race there only a thing that keep your body moving which is FINSHING Line

There a thousands reasons to ask you to quit but always there a reason that tell you to continue.
Tough time wont last but tough men do

These 2 motto i like it the best, so actually i came out my own motto which i often tell ppl.

Never say CANT

Time Do fly fast. Remember last yr 1/2 ironman , i was volunteer but now i am actually racing on next sunday. hahaha. Complete it and i will be done for my last 2nd race. A week to go. Nervous, Scare . I have no idea. Just know that i have a week more. Die die also must finish. =). I just stop here. Half Ironman i will wait for your challenge. hahaha. A week more. respect the race and race it safe.

Past Memory

2008-08-05T23:34:00.002+08:00

So long didnt blog le, so jsut feel like blogging before it turn rusty. Just took out some photo out to take a look and i found out that really life do change alot. Happy moments to sad moments, Althought it somehow it end le, yet when you view the photo somehow gd , bad memory all will jsut come to your brain. Your ex gf, Lover, even team player and your frens.

For me, from a normal basketball player now become a endurances athletes and offical call as a Triathletes. Last time dont even know what is a triathlon. for marathon will told myself only crazy ppl will do it and now yet i have did 2 marathon withthin 2 yrs and by the age of 21. how come make me feel that we wont know the future ahead. More dream, more races you want to join but will it come true. I really have no ideas. Full ironman 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and follow by 42km marathon. That what i call an ironman, Will i be one. Think here and there, actually i have no idea. Somehow afraid or should i say i am scare that i cant achieve the goal which i have make at my age of 21yrs old. Who know the road of another 10 yrs down the road.
If i have the wishing lamp, how wish one day i will go to kona hawaii world championshio ironman races.

Years 2007
After completing my 1st endurances event which is a duathlon lat yrs, i suddenly have a feeling that i want to try tougher races and slowly attracted by endurances races, then i remember i took part in the osim triathlon but is a mini distance . Althought is a short race, it do bring me how does a triathlon look like and what is the feeling of completing a triathlon. see all the supporter cheering ,conquering sea , wind and land. I had a bad fall during the cycling and icycle with punture tires. hahhaa Then follow by Army half marathon, my 1st longer distances i ran 21km. hahaa. After the ran, toe cramp. Lol. cramp twice. Then aug also got a frog races run swim and run, think i am the last few ppl but the supporter keep on cheering for you. From that time i know, actually the enemy is not the runner infront , beside or behind you, is your own mindset. No matter it come 1st or last , you still counted as a winner. The nov there a triathlon again so this time i took parts in the longer distance which is the sprint. This kind round i have better preparation and i end it strong. The tougher races in 07 must be standard charted marathon which is my full marathon 42km. I remember half way through the race about 21km, i told myself how come i so crazy , pay to suffer myself. Then i call 2 person during the run around 30 km who i dont wish to mention. I so disappointed that the person i wish she will ans actually didnt pick up and yet another girl do pick up. After the race, finally i know the ans why i pay money to get suffer. 1 words= Glory.

Saddeness Moments

I think my saddness Moments is when i volunteer the Aviva half ironman 07. When i saw the people who took part cycling pass me, how i wish i will be able to take parts. See those grandpa around 60yrs old doing the races, i feel so respect for them. Then saw some of my fren who took part, they ask me why i didnt join. i told them no money too ex for me, no proper bike and equipment. So this yr i almsot have everything in fact i can say i have everything now. I told them i will join this yr and i already sign up

Year 08

During March went for my 1st malaysia triathlon, before left singapore did sms her told her i love her. somehow is my 1st oversea race so i am quite afraid.It also my 1st olympic distance. 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run. Then in May took part in the duathlon which is a worst race that i ever join, bad organise. June took part in Osim triathlon, the current was bad. =( . Was my 2nd Olympic distance and lastly July went to malaysia for port dickson triathlon. Is a nice race.

Actually have to thank to the girl i currently like ba. She is the one who bring me into endurances races. She dindt join it . Last time i do have a silly thinking, which is i should join a endurances races to train my endurances and my patience. Then went to a bike shop saw the duathlon poster, that how i started with enduraces races. Think back, it really changes me, from a heavy soccer gambler to become not a gambler again. From a dont excerise for 18months people to a activity people. From these sport, actually knowing more adult than teenagers so it actually will teach you how to be more mature too. During the race, keep telling each other even stranger dont give up, all the ways. Knowing Ac thur run ppl, ben wee, adrian mok, samuel yang, edwin ng, desmond chiang , ah chai, ah chung and alot more. Nice person. They always giving advise due to their experience in races . Now i have a motto , never say (cant)

Now left 32 days to aviva half ironman-> 1.9km swim, 90km cycling and 21km run, how wish she can go down to support me

Endurances really do changes ppl life
Never say cant

Yesterday was a great day. Is a day that i surely wont be forget. =). I miss her so much, it has been like 2 to 3 months didnt see her before yesterday. The 1st impression is, she still remain as chubby and pretty as last time. We had out dinner at IMM cafe cartel, then i had to bluff her that i stomach pain so had to go to toilet but i went to collect cake. hahhaa. STRAWBERRY CHEESE CAKE. LOL, Then after that put the cake in the icebox. After eating i drove her to changi to see aeroplane. we Saw a plane flew up to the sky just above us. COOL. Then i take the cake out and light the candle but the cake has been abit soft le. HAIZ . Luckily the taste still taste delicious. lol. Then after that we went to airport to watch aeroplane again. hahaa. WE get cheated by the airport car park fee. if not we might be staying longer. hahaa. HAIZ. Next meeting with her will be at feb after her exam. ALL the best to her exam.=)

If u are reading this blog, i really like to tell u. IF time really can buy ( the future of us to be together forever) i really dont mind to wait for u. No matter how long u want me to wait or how long i need to wait, i sure will wait de. I really hope i can walk down the future path together with u and share my future with u. =)

Finally

2007-12-02T22:08:00.000+08:00

Finally today the last event of the years has ended, which was the standard charted marathon. This yrs really conquer alot of stuff. 73 storeys , 42km, Triathlons, Duathlons and somemore. Thinking back, really having fun. Know alot of people who share the joy and pain together. Pain as in we suffer in the race. Joy as in we chat together makan together. All i can say really without her and the words that i told her which is i will wait for her for 3 years, i would not be able to complete the races. These 2 stuffs really give me desired to complete the race and try my best to complete it. The best thing that i like endurances sport is that when u finish the race, the feeling is awesome, it really a glory to finish it. =). Next yrs will going for better result, tougher races.

The flag off time was 530am, When the gun horn, all the runner started to run. The music was loud and clear , the supporter was there early in the morning to cheer us up. Some ppl running for love, some for achievement and some for experience the run. I believe different people will have thier own reason to run but it doesnt matter at all. The most important thing is u really must enjoy the race and finish it. =). I saw the elite runner, they were fast. I think they everyday also kana chase by lions or cheetah , that why they are fast. lol. Saw a spiderman running 42km. =) . spiderman 4 in singapore. =p. I ran until 33 km my leg cant stand le, keep cramping here and there. I was so disappointed. haiz. Anyways 1st time in marathon just hope can finish it ba. 5HRs 13 MINS. What i can say is it is really an unforgetable memory races in 2007.

GLORY

YESH, Finally went out with her today. We went to vivo to watch a movie ( death at a funeral) and had our lunch there. We went to a restaurant call the white dog, but the restaurant seem dont have anything which link to the white dog. lol. we were wondering why the restaurant call as white dog. hahhaa. The food there was not bad can give it a try. =). Let talk about the movie!!!!. The movie was average ba. Abit funny but they speak too fast. i cant catch most of the ball coming out from their mouth. lol. Then after the movie we went to mac to eat icecream then go walk around vivo. When we were going to sentosa we waste 20 mins finding where my car parked. hahhaa. Sorry joanne wasted your time. It prove that i have serious short term memory( STM) i hope u wont mind.
Then evening time, we went to sentosa to watch song of the sea. We reach there too early so we intend to go to beach for a walk. SEE the sunset was nice. =). The beach was very peaceful due to less of people so it might be helping people to relax ba. Then we sat on the beach to watch the surrounds and help her cover her leg with the soft sands. hahaha. It seem to be a enjoyable moments with her. =) . The song of the sea was average show ma. The show didnt give me a very an impress that tell me next time i must watch it again. i also dont know why. maybe is the short length of the show ba. Then after the show, she request to drive around the sentosa as dont want to waste the entrances fee, so i drove her around the sentosa. The feeling was great ba and hope she like it too. It may be a short 1 but it a meaningful to me. Then after that we went to west coast to had Prata. When i told her that we were going to eat Prata , her face was smiling. nice. hahaha. when we were on the way there we were chatting about thing then related to our future as in what we going to work as? what are our dreams and some relationship thing betweens us. No matter what happen, i will be always beside her, supporting her, give her advise, helping her, protect her and even care for her. 1 thing for sure, she is the one that keep my fire burning at all times and thus this fire burning keep me to complete the races. Thank you. Finally found a sport that i like it very much.

Really is a enjoyable day.

A day of pain, A lifetime of pride

Rick and Dick Hoyt ( an inspiration dad and son)

2007-09-09T01:29:00.000+08:00

Today my blog will be talking about an legend of an iron son and dad. what does it mean? it mean both dad and son took part in the ironman race . Which was 3.8km swim, 180km cycling and lastly a full marathon of 42km run. I think everyone will think that i saiding they doing it individually right? the ans is NO. Let me roughly tell u the story:

The story began;
Dick Hoyt is dad of Rick Hoyt. Rick Hoyt was born with brain dead. He was paralyse but his parent want to treat him as a normal guy who live with normal life so he was sent to a public school like most of us went to. AS we know paralyse people cant swim, cycle and run by it own. right? Anything is possible if there is someone helping u thru the journey as these story really show it to the world.

Finally when Rich was 16 yrs old he want to took part in a charity run for paralyse so he was asking dad ( Rick) Can his dad join the run with him. Dick was not a runner at that time but once the dad heard it he agree and he make a specially design wheelchair so his dad can able to run and at the same time push the wheelchair where his son was sitting on it. It started with a 5km run, then slowly follow by the 10km and marathon, duathlon , triathlon and lastly an ironman race. After the 5km run it the 1st time that Rick feel that he is not handicapped .so together they run. Together they trekked 3770 miles in USA. u see how wei da is his dad. When Rick saw the tv programme was showing an ironman race in the tv. he told his dad he wish that he could join the ironman. As Dick ( his dad) dont want to disappointed him, he went for training and didnt disappointed his son (Rick) by joining ironman race together with him. For the ironman race, rick ( son ) was sitting on a small boat and his dad (Dick) had to swim 3.8km by dragging the boat by tie a string attach from the boat to his body. After the swim course he had to carry his son ( rick) and put he on the seat which is design for their special bicycle and his dad had to cycle 180km with 2 body weights under a hot sun. All the sweat they drop is every count of their love as in son and dad. After the cycle, his dad had to carry his son to let him sit on the wheelchairs and then the run continue. His dad ran 42km with pushing a wheelchair . Both of them didnt choose to give up and finally they complete the ironman race around 14hrs 30 mins. During the ironman race Dick( his dad ) was 49 yrs old. Can u believe a dad willing to sacrifice so many thing such as time for training, money for special equipment for the race just for his son wanted to join?

During the interview his dad told a reporter that:

He (Dick) himself was a body to his son. he lent his body to him to take part for race.
His son ( Rick) was a heart. The passion come from him.
(Dick) wouldnt complete the ironman race without his son
(Rick) couldnt complete the ironman race without his dad
Together they Run, cycle and swim
Together they has power and dont run alone.
A words ( CAN) is their trademark in the race.
Anything is possible.

They won an award in 2001. Champions of Americans with disabilities.

Complete an ironman race already need alot of determination, stamina and will power and complete an ironman with a son is highly reach the limit of the body. i beileve everyone can do beyond the their limitation just that they need to find the (Fire) to heat up their engine. As for me i think that i found it already. if u all want to find out more go to youtude and search for Dick and Rick. It a video and life story will touched your heart. really. Dick hoyl i said u are the BEST DAD in world.

1 day for pain, whole life of pride

My race Tag. =) [0751]

The finisher Medal. =)

My Racing bicycle. hehe

Yesterday was my 1st trialthon in my life. hahaha. It didnt go smoothly for me. haiz. Yesterday woke up at 4am plus to prepare my stuff. Then went to fetch her and her buddy . Then reach east coast i have to fix my wheel to my bicycle then slowly push to the site. I also amazing that the site plan is so well plan. For the swim there are alot of safely precaution havs make and the 1st wave is the kid wave from 6ys onwards. U can see those small kid with small body but with strong determination and their parent keep supportting them by shouting their name and ask they all dont give up and all the way. Some parent even video it down. i remember there was a kid , she was at the last one then she got abit of struggle in the swim so she hold on the canoe but all the supporter shouting ask her to continue and at the end she choose to continue and reach the shore. That is the athlete spirts. =). The event go bad for me.

My wave starts, i jump into the sea and start swimming , the problem which i have is i swim longer distance cos i swim with free-style then i cant see the distance infront of me then i realise that i swim more distance. hahaha.... At the end i still complete the swim then run to the transittion area to change my attire for cycling. Then the problem came, starting for the 2 km it is fine with me, reach an average speed of around 31km/hrs, then when i intend to cut people i suddenly lost my control when i using the arowbar, then my bike hit the kerb and i was fly toward the grass, then the tire was punture , but there a cyclist saw it and ask me whether i am fine and i reply yes then he told me a sentances( it just a race man dont be so serious about it) After heard le i continue to cycle with punture tire cos i told myself since i cant complete withtin my aim then i must complete the race , then i slowly cycle cos scare will damage the rim. Then after the cycling then go for my run le. I think i end my race around 50 to 60 mins. HAiz. The happy thing is I yesterday got meet her and i finish my race, even is a short distance but it a gd try. Next yr going for longer distance. I LOVE IT and of cos HER too. hehee.Now bicycle until observation at my nearby bike shop then my body also injure, think need to rest again. =(.

There a say:
Winner are not for people who complete their race 1st as long u meet your aim and reach your target u are already a winner. Winner and champion dont give up and they will lift their head high. =).

Waiting for 3 yrs............=)

3 JUNE. HAPPY DAY. =)

(Jia Qi and i finishing the race)

(Sherman and i fnishing the race)

My bike and i have complete the paya lebar air base endurance challenge cycling of 45 km withtin

1 hrs and 30 mins

(Me with my lovely bike)

( The Bear's Endurance Bike)

Today was a happy day. It is because i complete another event before my timing le. hehe. I aiming for 1 hrs 45 mins but i finish it by 1 hrs and 30 mins. Happy happy. Went to the Paya lebar air base for the cycling event with my frens. I woke up at 4 am and the 1st thing is faster go bath then have to drive the car out to put my bike on the bike rack. Then went to fetch my frens at the north sides of the singapore. tiring cos have to wake up but worth it.

The event started at 830 am sharps, once the horn sound with the count of 5, all the cyclist pedel fast to the front including me. hehe. It is a 15km distance long per lap so we have to cycle 3 laps. I like the 1st laps cos i was quite infront of the 1600 participant which mean there will be lesser cyclist infront of me so i can speed . The 2nd laps is the most dislike laps cos there are alot of participant and cant cycle too fast. Got a time almost fall down. hahaa. Got a cyclist didnt check the blindspot and cut into my lane hence my front wheels hit his back wheels and i control abit of the control luckily i get back the control in a quick time so i didnt fall down. The 3rd laps will have lesser participants too cos some of them who take part in the leisure and family route have fnish my race, so i speed up my speed on the 3rd laps again. My average speed is around 30 to 32 km/ hrs if got up slope then is about 25 to 28 kr/ hrs. DUring the race event i do see those small kid go for the endurance challenge and yet they are so CUTE. can u imagine a kid around primary 3 to 4 cycle a 45 km with a helmet on . i cant forget the cute image. Then after i complete the race, i wait for my fren at the finishing point , then i saw 1 of my frens reach the finsihing line who is sherman. Then the jia qi we shouldnt find him until about 1hrs time later. hahhaa. Then we went to collect the cert together but when we going to buy the shirt it already sold out. HAIZ. damn sad. Overall still happy. This kind of event will make my life happier cos whenever i complete the race i got the feeling of self-satisfaction. hehee. I DAMN LIKE IT . Why i call my bike a Endurance bike because it endurance my weight by travel a long distance . As me i will tell myself as long i reach the finish line i will not stop same to running Which mean i endurance the long distance by pedel the bicycle and for running is to keep my myself keep running for a long distance. =) This bike is also the 1st bike which i bring into race as in the 1st event race i join is the city duathlon. Me and my bike will endurance all the event race TOGETHER without stopping. =p.

Seriously say my wish and dream is to complete the avia IRONMAN ( swim 1.9km ,cycle 90km, run 24km) after complete my ns and by that time i will be buying a better run for this event too. SO i must keep training hard. hehehe. I think if i complete the race mostly will cry ba. haha. hard to say. Want to push myself to my limits i dont want to give up so easily for a things. Even waiting for someone for 3 yrs during this 3 yrs no matter how tough it will be i will try my best to hang on by biting my teeth and walk pass it. I must have a strong mental of endurance , understand and perseverance, will and lastly determination i beileve i can pass through the 3 yrs de test. Beileve myslef. =)

Next event is the OSIM Mini International Triathlon ( swim 200m, cycle 10km and run 2k). i aiming 50 mins to complete. MEN. i am UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. ROCK.

Thank those frens who supporting all the while and went together with me to take part of this event. I will be back for paya lebar cycling 2008 next yrs provided i am free. WAIT for me. =)

Champion are not for those who won the race but are for those who dont give up. =)

Steve Irwin

2006-09-24T19:29:00.000+08:00

wow, it have been a long time that i post my last blog. Remember the date of 4/9/06. What this date so special to me? This date is the earth have lose a legend guy which his name is call as Steve Irwin. He was attack by a stingray on that day.Why i call him a legend guy? Definitely not because he is handsome or cute when he was fliming a documentary. The main reason is he really did his best to tell/ teach how important is the conservation of land and marina animals. Beside that he really put himself in a dangerous distances between him and the animals to demonstrate how does those animals survive in the wildlife by protecting themself or hunt for food and their behaviour, he also will make his flim very funny and entertainment by joking and act some action that he has been attack which look funny . he is a brave guy. Last time i have a thought of going to australia zoo to visit him when i had grow up and have to money but it too late already cause he is not in this world anymore. Anyways i think imostly will be going to austraila zoo for a visit to see how is the zoo comparing to the singapore zoo . i started watch his documentary from last year and i really do enjoy it . last year i remember when i was bored i will anyhow switch channel and got 1 day i switch to animals planet and just nice it was playing his documentary that time i was attracted to his show and then i will always go into the starhub website to check what time his documentary going to show on the channel. Whenever i free i will watch it. I really do learnt alot of thing from him, the way that he teach is not like reading a textbook infront of you explain how does animals protect themsleve, he really will get to the closest distance to demonstrate how does animals protect themselve from the predator. I beileve beside he is a gd host for animals documentary he is also a very gd dad and working colleague. Just now when i was watching [The memorial of Steve Irwin] really make me very sad and touching. Sometimes i really think this world is not unfair is very unfair why most of the time gd guy will have lesser spenting time in this world. why and i know this ans i will not know until maybe i have die. i beileve there is only 1 species who has the power to change the thing over the worlds in this planet? If we all cant even corporate to each another what will happen to those people/ species which need out help? i really dont understand it. haiz
i wish his wife ( Terri Raines ) his daugther ( Bindi Sue ) his son ( Bob Clarence ) his dad ( Bob Irwin ) and his fren & colleague will always stay healthly and cheerful

Steve Irwin u really did change my life by the view of the animals and teaches me alot thing related to animals and the most important is the important of conservation. I will always remember u deep in my hearth until the day i die.
