Farewell National Stadium, Mizuno Wave Creation 8

With the National Stadium planned for demolition this year, what the least we can do to commemorate this old iconic landmark but to give it a visit and proper farewell before it comes under the destruction of the construction shovels. Met up with Meifang, Huida and Youboon at Kallang. The sports museum was closed when we were there, but...

Nice 16.5km Jog this evening

Me jogs around my usual Tanglin route this evening with leftover birthday cake still jumping in my stomach, the feeling is very unreal, not to mention the rather mixed taste of blackforest-chum-gastric juices when you bleach... ekkk Shouldn't eat less than 1 hour before my runs... Mmmm, read in the Straits Times today that the HDB blocks around my district has...

Here it is again, the TeenGames 2007! Just got details from my team manager Darius today. Would be participating in the adventure race again this year. This year would sadly be my last year too (Only under 24) otherwise, it would be only the "Big Boys" Adventure races like Safra Race and those overseas 24hr adventure races from there. Would...

Post Mizuno Mount Faber Run, Runs for the week

This the first time the title sponsor, Mizuno is organizing such a run under the "Mizuno Run" name, contrary to those other low key Mount Faber races held over the past years, this is actually nothing new as claimed by many runners I know, well at least now I know! I had not ran this race route before, neither was...

Recieved Ambank KL Marathon Certificate

Received my Ambank International Marathon Certificate of participation in the mail today, so did the rest of my team. It came mint-condition in a white A4 envelop with a return address to KL (yup it came all way back there). The cert inside is all colour printed with the typical pink event background with chip timings, etc printed, even...

My Nod-dified phone, Tanglin Running route

After going through about half of the GDI campaign, C&C 3 is nice to play with a very low learning curve in reference to the old C&C Tiberium related wars series. The SAGE engine is really kinda cool with lots of new eye candies. SAGE is not new to those especially when it first appeared in Emperor of Dune...

Mizuno Mount Faber Run 2007

An up and coming event. If you love hill work this event is for you! The highlight of the race is a mid way climb up the hill itself and down all the way thereafter. Registered today (Bib No 1577) and for $10 it's a steal considering you get goodies and a dry-fit Mizuno Tee to go too. My...

Run, Swim, Shop, Eat – My little Quad-althon

With this new found time comes new found exercise time! It's Saturday, the 24th -Shutdown day! and I am still using my computer! LOL.

Whoa! no more rise and shine for...

Ambank 2007 Marathon Diary

Day One, Saturday 17th March. It's all dark and anticipative upon waking up. Met up with Elrick 7am at Golden Mile, Derrick, Val and Ruth are already up in KL on an overnight bus, so we will be meeting them up later in the day. It was a bonus when we were told that our standard VIP had been...

IPPT Cannot F**king Jump SBJ for Nuts

Remember my last Tuesday's IPPT which was void due to rain? After a hassle and rush to clear my window before my birthday, today is rematch day and my 2nd IPPT in 3 days. Reached Maju Camp with an overcast sky and strong winds, even the sound of distant thunder prompted cheers among the RPs (who are seemingly delighted with...

Electronic IPPT scoring system walkthrough

Had my first Electronic IPPT today. Amazingly for a whole group of 50-100 candidates, only 3-4 PTIs are needed to take them all, with one watching each station at every go. This is so unlike the IPPTs I've conducted before during my active days. The thing now is that you need not take the stations in sequence - I...

My First NS IPPT, then CAT1…

Today is my first in-camp NS IPPT and my first with electronic IPPT scoring as well. But the system is quote idiot proof for anyone but noticeably there are quite a few areas of possible exploitation of the system, not something that I would do while not under the watchful eye of the PTI, but something noticeable after studying...
