A bid to keep to my 2010 new year's resolutions...

2011 Resolutions!

2011-01-21T06:30:00.000+08:00

Its been so long since i last posted. Been enjoying journaling more cos it's just more direct and i need no computer nor connection. This blog had been about resolution and guess what? It fell flat on me last year. How about this year then? This year, i will try to keep it simple and easy. 1. Efficiency at work. - Sleep early - No hanging projects (just 1 big project to undertake) - Take it

My greatest flaw...

2010-07-18T15:52:00.000+08:00

I often quipped to Fyq that i am a person who can easily make friends, but the part on maintaining the friendship, he does it well. Looking back on it, i realised that it is my greatest flaw. All the great friends i made along my journey in life, i've never really done well keeping up with them. I am not really good in going out with people and hanging out. I think all my friends can attest to

7 Chakras? Inspiration from cartoons...

2010-07-11T18:10:00.003+08:00

I was watching a cartoon actually; Avatar, The last Airbender when i chanced upon this. Aang, the protagonist was undergoing a session with the Yogi who was teaching him how to go in and out of the Avatar state at will. This was obtained from 'Avatar Wiki'.... "After determining that Aang has absolutely no knowledge of the nature of chakras, Pathik proceeds a visual representation. Using a pond

Exclusivity!

2010-03-21T01:31:00.000+08:00

It's the second time i met someone riding the KTM Adventure in this month on the road. I like the feeling cos it felt so friendly and somewhat exclusive. Since the bike is rare in Singapore, somehow there is a sense of connection and acquaintance between every Adventure rider whenever we met on the road... whether or not you knew each other, you just wave a friendly wave and smile you brightest

"You can discover more about someone in an hour of play as compared to a lifetime of conversation." - Plato That was by Plato, someone who lived in a time long long ago. That was what i realised too.

SMART Goals

2010-03-16T20:45:00.000+08:00

The official results are out. This is the result placed on the SAFRA website. The top one is the results from my 2009 attempt and the latter is my 2010 attempt. Comparison of Results2009 - Swim (0:51:41) Run (0:56:18) Total (1:47:58)2010 - Swim (0:39:05) Run (0:58:32) Total (1:37:37) This is a 10min improvement which is a direct result of the swim leg. The swim leg actually improved by

2nd Race complete!

2010-03-14T13:25:00.000+08:00

I just did my second attempt on my Singapore Biathlon this morning and it went great! Even after 3 weeks of hiatus from exercise. Alhamdulillah... Based on my own watch which i started right after the airhorn, Swim lap: 39mins approx Total Time: 1hr 36min approx So that makes my run about 96-39 = 57mins Which makes me damn happy especially for the swim lap! I shaved about 10mins of my

Was looking for nice pictures on the bike im riding, the KTM Adventure 950... and found these! Nice... Was thinking of doing some DIY mods to the windscreen to make it look something like this. May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...

Bad Week, Worse Progress!

2010-02-28T10:10:00.000+08:00

It takes roughly 1 week of inactivity to destroy 5 weeks of effort. Proven! I took 5 weeks to go down 5kg and 3% points of visceral fat level and it took just 1 week for me to bring it back up again the same level. F@#K! Haiz... It hadn't been a good week too... will update soon when i can. For now, i got to meet the girl for a movie session! May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness

FUN at TWO WCPs!!

2010-02-20T06:52:00.000+08:00

Had a great day with the girlfriend yesterday! Went to the WCPs to enjoy food and some ice-cream and then be like little kids at the largest playground in Singapore! It is some time since we last visited WCP and even though the sky threatened to pour skyjuice all over us... we decided, lets commit! Let's GO!! (Photos to be uploaded soon!) I'm losing track and losing focus on some of the

Adventure in Pulai..

2010-02-17T18:41:00.001+08:00

I just realised one thing... God tends to answer my questions pretty fast. It took a leech for me to realise this. There was once when i thought loudly to myself when we were planning the evacuation route for the Bkt Chini expedition, "Am i allergic to bee sting?" and Charles replied "You wouldn't really know until you are stung by one or if you go for a test."..... 5mins later.... A BEE

God works in mysterious ways...

2010-02-16T20:23:00.000+08:00

God works in mysterious ways.. Here i am lamenting that for the past two days i ate too much, exercised none, and He just made a masterful move. I was shocked to realise i missed about 4 bus stops before i could alight at the 5th. I think it is about 2 km home and after shaking off the zee-stupor, i smiled and offered my thanks. It was an opportunity for me to walk my way home and clock my

Off track, no regrets... for now.

2010-02-16T04:35:00.001+08:00

CNY 2010 is really quite a well worth break. Met up with the girlfriend to walk through MacRitchie's tree-top trail. Lovely trail with beautiful refreshing sights. I notice the water stream seems to have more fishes in it now too! A sign that wild life is booming? I notice the trails make a good running spot too, so next time i think i should try running there. A good 8km run with plenty of

Water Cure? Miracle or Duuuh?

2010-02-14T08:53:00.003+08:00

"You're not sick; you're thirsty. Don't treat thirst with medication."- Dr. F. Batmanghelidj I chanced upon this website, http://www.watercure.com... This website claims that most diseases and health issues we are facing can be attributed to the lack or excess of water. Radical ey? Upon reading, they seem very convincing on their point. However, the one that interests me the most is the part

Eureka!!

2010-02-13T15:25:00.000+08:00

Aptly used in this case... EUREKA! I think i found my sweet spot to glide in water. I think i discovered my economy in swimming the front crawl. I think i did my Ch'i swimming!! How did it happen? I believe it occurred during the 16th lap. Each lap, i was 'body sensing'... trying to find maximum glide with every stroke. I stretched out far with my hands, careful not to cross the imaginary

Still trying to understand Fat..

2010-02-13T11:44:00.002+08:00

(Source www.annecollins.com) The human body needs energy to power muscles and to fuel the millions of chemical and biological reactions which take place throughout our system every day. This energy comes from the food we consume in our diet. Food consists mainly of water and three types of nutrient - protein, dietary fats and carbohydrate - which are found in varying proportions in most

FAT! What is it?

2010-02-12T02:14:00.001+08:00

I have been pondering over this for awhile and decided to do some research on this topic. FAT! Hopefully, understanding this guy here will bring better efficiency in burning it off.. Like Sun Tzi said; "Know thyself know thy enemies, A thousand battles a thousand victories."- Sun Tzi This curiosity began when i looked at the results of my weekly checks, apparently the results are classified

Good things past by too quickly...

2010-02-12T00:30:00.001+08:00

A day i did pretty much a bit of everything... I swam, i camwhored, i gobbled and i spent time with people... Woke up late today since it wasn't a work day and it's not that often that i can wake up later than the sun. Well, i woke up at around 10am. That's 4 hours past my routine wakie timing. I actually did wake up at 6 but decided to plonk down on the floor again after a brief pee at the loo

2010-02-11T11:19:00.000+08:00

Today, i sailed to an island with a clean, beautiful beach... Had my lunch and coke... n set sail again for the open seas. It was a great day to sail. The NorthEast monsoon was providing ample wind to get us to our destination and the sky was neither too cloudy nor too scorchingly open. It was a bright, breezy day, perfect for sailing. Of course it's not a yacht but it was big enough for 3

Best picture so far between Nicole Maya Zafirah and PPJ (me!)... So cute and cuddly and her cheeks are so chubby! She was preparing to go to nenek's place and at least for this week, she did not cry when i carried her.. Hehehe! Yay! But she did vomit a lot on me... Everytime i see her, she gets a lot more chubby. She's been feeding a lot i heard and she's even trying to talk now with all the '

Bad Week, Good progress.

2010-02-07T14:02:00.000+08:00

It had been a bad week at work somewhat for me. Not living up to my expectations and standards, perhaps others' too. Complacency perhaps setting in? Albeit that, i manage to chalk up training time especially for my climbing, swimming and also the 2nd dawn trail run. Climbing has always been a challenge for me as i am not naturally predisposed to it either due to interest or body composition. I

Antioxidants? Radical ey...

2010-02-01T00:50:00.002+08:00

I had my weekly tests again today. You can say i parasited from my dad who is undergoing a weight management programme after being egged on by my mom. Every Sunday, my mom's friend, who is the weight management consultant, comes over to assess my dad's progress. The children, us, will excitedly tag along and also see whether we ourselves has any progress. Every month too, she would bring this

SAFRA AVventura 2010 over

2010-01-31T07:05:00.000+08:00

Scorching hot day, 50km route and a supposed 9hr cut-off time... sounds familiar? But this time, it is an adventure race! I guessed we ran about approximately 10km, biked for around 30 odd km and kayaked for another 5km? Not so sure about that cause we only found out our route on the spot! I think that was the beauty and bane of adventure races... you somewhat do not know when the finish line

The thrill of doing it again and again...

2010-01-30T09:17:00.000+08:00

I found a picture of me whilst running in the NF100 last year. I think, that was the event that really sparked my interest in running. I have never really thought that i could complete a full marathon run... but this event opened my heart to it after completing 50km. Even though it was a slow timing of 8hr 40mins, what's important is the spark that ignited. Check out the drybag i'm carrying!

Inspired for a Night Trail run..

2010-01-23T01:11:00.002+08:00

I was inspired to just head out for a run in the dark out at the trails after reading Born to Run and asked around if anyone was willing to accompany me... none was until thursday night when one colleague of mine came up to me and asked whether or not i was still interested to run. One of his students left behind a bag at one of the rest-huts which was around 2-3km away from base camp. So we

VFF 1st run!

2010-01-19T23:39:00.000+08:00

My calves are still aching from the previous nudefoot run… ouwww…. Today morning, I managed to squeeze in a 15min run in the middle of work in my VFFs. To be honest, it felt quite different from a real barefoot run. You still feel protected from the natural elements and to a certain extent, it still masks the sensation of impact. The VFFs are ablt to allow you feet to

Nude Footed Run

2010-01-17T11:20:00.000+08:00

I just did my 1st barefoot run since i was a kid. It was just 10mins but i think its a good start. I tried to go over as many surfaces as i could, grass, tar, concrete, brick-tiled and gravel... and yeah, 10mins was enough for this morning to get used to nude-feet runnin'. I will try to go for another short 10min later at night after sufficient rest is given for these two 8.5s. (Now i'm starting

Ready to Race!

2010-01-16T23:44:00.000+08:00

We went for the AVventura race brief today at SAFRA Yishun. We got our goody bags and there were quite good freebies inside. First notable one is the event shirt which i personally feel was nicely designed and quite a good quality. It's a Salomons shirt and it reminded me of Boca Juniors home jerseys. The feel is soft and light its a slight v-neck. Well done on this department! 2nd notable

KSO Treks Arrived!

2010-01-13T23:46:00.000+08:00

My KSO Treks arrived today in a small carton. I was so excited when i arrived home to see the brown box on the computer table. It would only mean one thing since that was the only thing i ordered that was somewhat that size! It was exhilarating enough just to peel off the clear tape binding the box together. Upon opening it, it reveals another box inside which clearly shows the picture of a

I was having a chat with Gek Fong whilst on the SP and we fell upon this topic of energy and feng shui. Well, in short, she totally believes in it and has many encounters to back it up with. Whereas me, i am a firm believer of energy. That energy is all around us in some form or another and being a Pri-Sec physics junkie, i also believe that energy is not lost, not created and it can be

Another day we spent together today... Yesterday, she planned a picnic for us.. a special one. At Fort Canning! Both of us had never been there before, so a picnic there was both a first and a special one. She made mac and cheese and also caesar's salad...the best was her attempt on mac's cinnamon melts!!

3rd week of training passed..During the 2nd week, we went through a day of abseiling part 1 and then 4 days of fun-packed days of Wilderness Medical First Responder Levels 1 and 2. It was mentally and physically challenging as we were cramped with theories and principles of medical issues and first aid. The fun thing however was the simulations that w had go go through after the day ends.. These

My first week of official training has passed. We had campcraft & navigation followed by games leadership. It was a eye opener especially for games leadership in which we learnt to design games of various kinds and for various objectives. It was a wide difference from those games and ice-breakers we played in schools and at different camps where games that were played we mostly (if not all) a

Second interview down...DOWN again.Felt i did well for this interview. But as i had expected, i was rejected. This is perhaps due to my height. Did i really shrink?? Kecik said she thought i got shorter. My height on that day was a surprising 160cm on the first take!! GILERRR! On second take..it was 162.5cm. That was still far from my usual 164-165....i was off the minimum for the

The Orang Panjang Contemporary MatDictionaryMat [mat] noun – To the rest of the world, the word simply means a Malay guy. But within the Malay community itself there is a growing disparity in consensus to its actual meaning. Popularly, it's used to denote a guy who converses primarily in Malay, as opposed to the more “English speaking” types. Favourites of the mats include tapered jeans, trucker

Knew it was supposed to be on Saturday based on anonymous tips yet i still went to work since i knew it was going to be somewhat after lunch as i am sure they'd wait for people to complete at least half a day of work. So when i told Siow Lin that i had been activated, she was asking me to go later!! Hahaha..

That is your selling point especially if you are working overseas.It's not about patriotism or

He said "NO.. try again".My second answer...i pondered deeper ... Then i answered.. "The Devil?"He said..

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

2007-09-04T14:44:00.000+08:00

I got this off one of the forwarded yahoogroups mail..During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?"In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's

I keep telling myself...If i put as much perseverence, passion, effort, desire and enjoyment into all that i commit to do... i will be the boy i was, the person i want to be..I really miss myself...The zola who had no sense of defeat in him. One with aggression so much that he veers not from fights and setbacks. One so reckless that he heads on to challenges instinctively without much thots at

As it is...i only have 2 modules with final exams now. Haiz...but i have 2 project based modules plus 1 lab-based module. I'm slowly streaming it up to form my resume. On that will get me one of the jobs that i will happily do.*Darn ass

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town

I found this two quotes interesting...these things about 'attacks', the stronger they are, the more limited they are in their repetition... there is a maximum they can do and the vulnerable position is right after the last attack."your sword seem to be filled with only fear.

Hmmm...K2P had our winning streak halted when we lost 3-1 to RI Old Boys. We had 10 reserves to boast but many that played weren't our original K2People...it wasnt as fun. Most of them had something on, were overseas or had tests to prepare for. But still, that match, especially in the 2nd half showed the grit and fighting spirit, characteristic of K2P. Do or die, we wanted to end of the match in

I got to formally apologise to my luva for falling asleep after sending her to school only to wake up right on time for Friday prayers and missing her presentation along the way... SORRY!! "Maaf beribs!"What led to that 'compensation sleep' was a night-morning full of activities at the rooftop of Kent Ridge Hall. We sang, played guitars and be merry. Nora, Fazli, subsequently Faatihah and me.

Dreadnought?? Jumbo Mumbo...

2007-07-18T15:04:00.000+08:00

Just found out something i have always wanted to know these days... What the hell is a dreadnought?!!So i did some research... at first i thought that 'dreadnought' is just another term for an acoustic guitar. However, upon some itsy bit of research, i discovered more. There are actually many shapes to the guitar. The naive me thought that guitars are either big or small.But there are more sizes
