Singapore Teen Games 2007

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. Anyway with the given spade of Internship and the rather early morning wake up calls for work, I am actually waking up automatically early in the morning these days! 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...

KL Marathon, off I go!

Bags are all packed and ready, my bus trip up will be at 7 am tomorrow at Golden Mile, should be a lazy bus journey up. Then it will be lots of walking and recce-ing to do after checking into the hotel (Swiss Garden KL), not to mention collecting my race packs and stuffs from Wisma OCM. Looking for...

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...

Yusheng Madness Notable events would be YuSheng with my company on Thursday as Siam kitchen restaurant, at Cousin Gordon's home (with both our families) and finally yesterday...

Running update, Revised Tiong Bahru Park Runs

It's 2007 a new running year and new resolutions to meet as well. With that, it's time to revise the 2006 usual running patterns. 2007 Revised Tiong Bahru Running Route My usual favorite bi-weekly running route will have a revised distance, so not only make my lap and distance counts easier but it will be more accurate to do my timings...

Juggling work, play and Training, KL Marathon

Work had definitely eaten not only my personal time but much of my usual run and training schedules - I had not been running regularly, (clocking awfully low week millage in the process) nor attending track training in school last few weeks. Furthermore, if it's not hitting my personal weekly distance requirement of 30km, it's beating it off...

Exams coming, Labrador Park Run

Ahh here I am tucked in the comfort of my room surrounded by lecture notes, library books and stationary, while still typing this post. Well the exams are just around the corner & I say, this semester is as tough as it can get, in fact it's the most packed ever, with 9 modules to take (excluding the internship...

First 2007 run at Macritchie

Did a 11km cross-country run at MR today afternoon (Time 1:07). Running there today does bring back alot of old army memories - It's along the tree top route past the round about MR route into rather familiar training areas I've trained during my NSF days, then exiting around the golf course area back through MR then at the...
