11月12日 1st day @ workDay 1 at work over.
Got my domain accounts up and running. Email cannot send to external yet. Some systems still have not get access yet. So today was updating some documents, learn how to setup the IP Phone, whack office IM and settle admin matters etc etc etc.
Was told that once I am settled and all set, I will be posted to Marina Bayfront office for a few months to support the users there. Hmmm...My seat at Harbourfront not warmed up enough leh...Haiz...See how.
Today also joined the bunch of runners in office. Ran to Keppel Island and did a few rounds there. Nice!!! After that went back to office for a nice hot shower and head home!!! Sleeping soon. Day 2 coming!!!
10月28日 New phase of lifeAfter going through so many interviews, I have finally settled it. Landed myself in a position with Merrill Lynch/Bank of America that will be dealing with IT Techincal Support. This is pretty much something I have been helping my friends with most of the time in school. So now I will be doing this kind of thing for a living. Will be going down to sign letter of offer on friday.
Been doing the usual stuffs recently. Watch Taiwan TV online, surf websites, check emails, listen to music etc etc etc.
Today is not so good as I am down with stomach flu. My whole family seems to be down with it. So went to see the doctor this morning and taken some medications. 10月14日 Updates...Been 2 weeks since last update...Here's what's been happening...
For the past few weeks, my life has been revolving around job hunting, interview and physio.
Been hunting for job through online job portal, company web sites, job agencies etc. Got called down for a few interviews. They are not quite the ideal job/prospect I was looking for. Last week's interview was for a company that recently started their operations in Singapore. My personality was not quite a fit with the job. So give it a miss. This week, I am going to a company for interview on 3 days. Yesterday was for a developer role, later at 3pm will be for a marketing role and friday will be for a sales role. (U may be wondering these jobs are quite different. Why I am keen in them? For those who dunno me well/long enuff, Urs truely is a swiss army knife. Damn versatile. HAHA!!!) Just went for an interview this morning for a developer role as well. Quite comfortable with it. But this job again may not be the true calling for me.
For physio, last week was my 2nd session. Genak calf release. I swear that it was damn painful. My calf hurts for a few days even if my finger just touch it. Can u believe it? Haiz. But it was effective and cheap. So bear with it lor. Back at home, I will use my resistant tube to do some exercise routine to help with my ankle recovery. Shall see how it goes.
In the meantime, slacking now at the building where I will be going for my interview @ 3pm. Wish me luck. Hopefully can get this job.

8月12日 The return of the cast....Well...Since my ankle surgery 3 years ago, I have been doing many runs. But now it is time again for me to send my legs into the pit stop again.
I am just done with my ankle ligament recondition surgery at CGH...
The return of the cast!
The previous surgery 3 years ago was to fix an OCD (Layman term: Hole in bone) on my ankle. But now is to fix the ligament which was completely torn. The ligament actually healed on its own through the past 3 years. But it was loose. So the surgeon stretch it back and lock it in place. So hopefully my ankle will be more stable and better. In the meantime, my left leg will be in the cast for 6 weeks.
Update on 130809:
Cast was changed to a fibreglass 1. Lighter and easier to walk around with. I saw the stitches done by my surgeon. OMG!!! 9 stitches on the left side of my ankle and 2 stitches on the right side. Add on the 3 stitches done on the left and right side of my ankle 3 years ago = 12 on left and 5 on right. OMG!!! Will upload more photos later...
Writing this in the comfort of my bed at CGH Ward 39 Bed 27. (3927. Buy 4D wor!) 3月31日 Update updateAiyoh...
So long never update this place liao. Spiders crawling around liao... hahaha!
Let's see what happened to me for the past 5 months...
October...Slack. Especially after TNF100.
November...Mugging for Exams.
December...Did my worst ever SCSM. (Dun ask me what happened. Horrigible!)
January...New school term.
February...School activities.
March...Project mayhem.
For the past 1 month, I have been flooded by projects. ARP and all the different projects from the different courses are driving me crazy. Seow man.
But luckily got my gadgets to make me happy. I changed my mobile phone to iPhone 3G 8GB and Samsung i780. I got myself a digital camera as well, the Sony Cybershot W120. Happy!
BTW, just got an email that says that I am selected for Blackberry trial for Uni students. Will be laying my hands on a Blackberry Bold to play on this friday...hehehe!
Update more soon.
10月7日 The North Face 100 on 4th October 2008The most hiong race I ever done in my whole life and most probably the longest distance I ever going to run. The North Face 100 is not a race for the faint hearted. This is an almost 100% trail (A little bit of tarmac road at areas like Rifle Range/Zheng Hua Park etc.) ultra marathon that require teams of 2 runners to run 50km through areas like Macritchie, Rifle Range, Bukit Timah and Bukit Panjang etc with minimum support. (Runners have to bring min 2L of hydration in the form of hydration bladder or belt and the only official water point is at BKE below Bukit Panjang exit-23KM/30KM/36.5KM. ) The terrain is very uneven, slippery (thanks to the rain. I twisted my ankle a few times. If you know what I genak before, you will know that an ankle twist is disastrous for me. But my shoes gave me excellent protection.) and challenging. To make things worse, a climb up Bukit Timah hill summit after running close to 20KM (Play RPM’s toughest Mountain Climb track here…) and a 8 hours cut off time makes it harder. This is a race that I walk more than I run. I did this race with my Secondary School pal Amin and it is one hell of a race for him as well as he is not in his best condition. Started the race at 8am at Zig-Zag Bridge. (Deja vu…Cross Country Start Point. Last time there was like 8 years ago.) Started the race well. Comfortable. Went up Lornie Road->Lornie Trail->Start Point. (4.1KM-25min) Then went to Northern Trail->Rifle Range->Durian Trail->Bukit Timah Hill Summit. (18KM) Although there is no water point at Bukit Timah Hill, the visitor centre is an unofficial 1. So I went there for a pit stop before I CLIMB up the stairs to the summit. Hit the summit at around 10:30am. Well within my game plan. Then I ran to Belukar Track->Chestnut trail->BKE Bukit Panjang Exit. (CHECKPOINT! 100PLUS!!!!!!) After filling up water, it was a run to Jalan Kok Meng and Zheng Hua Park before hitting the same Checkpoint again. (Fill water…Drink water.) The Zheng Hua Park is a love-hate for me. Love it as I met a lot of angels there. (Not because I was dying there.) I felt so blessed. I was suffering from cramps and my kaki John offered me heat rub. I was hungry and a marshaller offered me banana. What else can I ask for? Zheng Hua Park was also a tarmac road terrain so that was good…A break from the unforgiving trail. But the ups and downs made it damn tough. It seems like never ending. Then it was going through the same loop again to the same checkpoint. (Fill water…Drink water.) Along this stretch, I really walk a hell lot. Tried to run a bit. But see upslope sian liao. So walk really a lot with some friends. But then, a heavy downpour forces me to run faster cause I dun wanna fall sick. From then on, it was a run back to Chestnut trail->Belukar Track->Rifle Range->Finish at Macritchie. This stretch was also tough as I run out of water with 5KM to go. So just bear with it and take it home. Finish under the cut off time of 8 hours and my time is 7:30:40. When I reach the finishing line, I was freaking tired. But finishing this race gives me great satisfaction. Cause my game plan worked and I achieved my objectives. 1st, the shoes that I choose worked for me. The TNF Hedgehog XCR worked really well. It protected my legs from the unforgiving terrain and gave me absolute trail confidence. (Thanks to the Vibram sole.) My boss and colleagues doubt my choice saying that the shoe is very hard and inflexible. Gore tex very hot etc… But I prove them so wrong. I seek protection here and I’m glad that I made the right choice. 2nd, I met my target-Finishing under the cut off timing of 8 hours and hitting every checkpoint well before their cut off time. (If I were to follow the cut off time planned by the organizer, confirm cannot finish under 8 hours.) Initially I was thinking of a sub 6/7 finish. But along the way, it seems impossible. So no choice lah. Take it easier. Come back in 1 piece under 8 can liao. =) So managed to do it. 3rd, Beat Farhan! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We went head to head in 4 races this year and so far I have beaten him in every single races. But nonetheless, well done bro. It is not easy for you to finish this race. 4th, Helping Amin to run better at every races. As a partner, we encouraged one another and helped each other on track and off track. I helped him with his gears and stuffs and I am happy that they worked for him. Well bro, more races to go yah! Here’s the map: Find more Runs in Singapore, Singapore 9月1日 Nike+ Human Race on 31st August 2008This is another race that I will not forget… A 10KM race that is so tough to me. Broke my PB here. 48:37. This means a lot to me. Cause hitting a sub 50 min timing for 10KM (That is a benchmark for serious runners!) is always what I wanted to do and it is not easy to hit it in this race but I did it anyway. Why it is not easy? Few reasons. 1. Poor start point management. They say want to give people under 50 min a red tag so that they can be at the front of the start area. I tell them that and they give me a Blue tag. Damn! (The frustrating thing is they never ask some people and straight away give them red tag. Did they write the name elite on their forehead? I dun think so.) Cannot get into the red area and can only be in Blue area which is behind a bit. So too bad. Whoever block my way genak elbow by me and I have to cheong harder to breakaway. That cause me to overexert too much too soon. 2. The drizzle along the way make the run tough at areas like Clarke Quay. The terrain at Clarke Quay is not rain friendly. The tile flooring and rain made it a super slippery ground. Downslopes made it worse. So many people slipped and fall and I have to exercise caution and stride control to prevent that. 3. Some part of the course was narrow and can be very crowded. But thank goodness that I broke away early and there was lot more room in front. Here’s a picture showing my speed graph through the 10KM. Ran the race with many folks of Runfanatics. Got a lot of photos as well. Post them later…HAPPY! 8月25日 Army Half Marathon on 24th August 2008Another year, another AHM. This time the route is a bit different. Run up the Marina Barrage. Shiok. But the goyak tarmac road before the Marina Barrage was bad…..Suddenly soft, suddenly hard… and it is a long stretch. Tough terrain. Sianz. Good that this year they choose to end the race at Padang again. Finish the race at PB of 1:53:57 (Shave 3 sec off…hahaha!!!) 6月20日 Shopping List (Edited!)Aiyoh....

送我一个家(国语版) 每一天等着他 送鲜花送我回的不是家 我的未来该如何去规划 看着他表情显得有点傻 面对面一言不发 突然想贴这个面颊说情话 等一下静一下时钟敲过十二下 你说要我许下生日愿望 我的心里重复着那一句话 好吗谁能送我一个家 然后一起用心去呵护它 以后无论天有多黑不怕 我喜欢粉沙发 白窗纱床边洁白的书架 纯洁的无暇不必太奢华 回到家忘记工作的纷杂 甩开一身的疲乏 让我在他怀里睡得像娃娃 等一下静一下时钟敲过十二下 你说要我许下生日愿望 我的心里有句话等你回答 好吗谁能送我一个家 我不想一个人守着电话 只想和你每天一起回家 熟悉的孩子你会懂吗 宠她就把未来给她 这感情会开花会发芽慢慢长大 我只愿意和你分享我们最后的年华 宠一下吻一下心跳超过一百下 我已默默许下一个愿望 我会对你请说出那一句话 好吗能否送我一个家 这女孩的梦想不算伟大 在你怀里就能拥有神话 6月10日 YippieHey hey,

9月27日 New gadget!!!Hey hey....
Got this phone for free from Singtel by signing up for the $99.86 Mio Plan. Well, why Mio plan? I'm currently on Singnet Broadband 10Mbps and my residential line is under my name as well. Both of these add up to around close to $75+ per month. (Sometimes close to $90+ as they charge the fixed line rental quarterly.) So now I get a free mobile phone and an additional mobile line with just a little bit extra cost. Quite a good deal IMHO. Hehehe. Anyway, back to the phone itself. I bought the Mocha/Silver version and I like it a lot. Here's a quick review from me. Appearance Display UI Multimedia Work Stuff Battery Life 6月16日 Grades and BODYPUMP Instructor CoursePhew...So long never update blog........Recently a lot of things have happened. 2nd, recently I took up BODYPUMP Instructor training. Seriously, I dunno why I wanna take this up initially. Maybe because BODYPUMP is the 1st Les Mills program that I have done since I have joined FitnessFirst......So when I know that there is a BODYPUMP Instructor Course, I checked with Faye and I signed up for it without much thought. But soon after I sign up, I started to think more about it. Especially after I did the launch of BODYPUMP 62 led by the great Kylie Gates, Andrew and Maverick. This release is going into the record books as one of the toughest release man! After doing the launch class, I start to ask myself question like what kind of "shit" have I got myself into......my goodness. So as I was thinking, the course date approaches. So I just throw all worries behind me and go into the course with a learning attitude. The course was conducted over 3 days at Fitness First The Cathay. (8th-10th June) The trainer of the course is Wes Carter. He's a nice chap and he have a good sense of humor. hehe.... I also saw a few familiar faces at the course as well.....People like Jun Wei, Joanna, KS, Fernie, Alan etc...During the 3 days, we have a lot of fun and hard work. (BODYPUMP Survivor, BODYPUMP Challenge, Jokes, Presentations, Theory lessons, mad runs and many many more.....) During the course, many people also came and support us. People like Faye, Andrew, Xavier and Eve all came down to support us. It's nice to see them around and their support keep us going. So after the 3 days training, I passed the training......I felt that I was lucky (Maybe I'm blessed.......I got the tracks that I'm more confident in.=D) So next up, audition. Hope I can get pass it! |
