De one with Running

ASPIRATION

I remember i started the habit of jogging when i was around secondary 1. My late mother will bring me to the park to jog. After that, i gave up. Before i really started this habit again when i was charged with the Power of Love to slim down at the end of my sec 2 year.

Think back.. i was really embarassed by my foolishness. Tried so hard to slim down 10kg just because i fell for a sweet girl who was in the same band as me. Omg! Yet, i was thankful, that changed my life to living a healthier lifestyle. One which i don't have to live in the misery of being obesed.

By the end of sec 4, i was already able to run the whole of bishan park B. Then, always going for frequent jogs with this good friend of mine, Yuyan who was also living convinently nearby my granny's place (i've always lived in my granny's place for convinence of going to school now and then). Of course, thanks to this. I was able to run the gold timing for my 1.6km for NAPFA test.

This capability enabled me to perform better during my junior college years. I managed to improved my 2.4km timing under 10min 30sec. In addition, i was able to complete the annual SRJC Road race of an average 5km timing of <25mins.>lah.

In SISPEC, my running ability was brought to tremandous improvement. I managed to clinch the 2nd or 3rd in my platoon with a 2.4km timing of around 10flat. This last throughtout my Artillery Specialist Course.

However, my peak occured after i was posted into 23rd Singapore Artillery Battalion. Within the mere 1 yr plus of commitment to Arty Cross Country, Army half marathon and inter-unit relays, i unleashed the ability to run faster. Achieving a timing of 9 mins for my latest IPPT 2.4km. And unforgettable fastest timing of 8min 46 s.

Hehe..hope i can be able to further improve and develop my running ability.
Greatest aspiration: To achieve 2.4km timing <8min>

De one with 20.06.2006

Morning downpour, clear skied evening

I didn't realise the interesting fact about today until i received a sms from a long-lost friend named Flora (for more info about this person, pls stay tune for blog abt my secondary school days..hehe). If you were conscioused enough to note that the date is 20.06.2006. With all those seperators removed. Wala! it's the amazing double of 20062006!

hmmm... oki. i see that puzzled look and the loud thought screaming :LAME

For today, as per usual, played pc game all morning.

Met my bestest friend cum campmate, Chin Yu at Orchard in the afternoon. Oops. really sorry i was abit late. Before i reached, he was already complaining about him being under "attacked" by the surveyers looming there.

We brunched at Yoshinoya. Wuao. The currently promoted "super meal" was very filling. It comes with a rice bowl of your choice. With addition of a sea coconut dessert, chawamushi and a choice to choose between miso soup or a small fruit punch.

After that, we went shopping at the usual places, usual route. Heeren > Cineleisure > PS. Oooh..i went to have my second ear peircing at 77th street at PS. Omg! Compared to my very first experience, it's soring painful. Hear-say that ear peircing changes/alters a person's life. Well, i was abit superstitious. So i decided to have a 2nd to reverse back my better life after it was "roti prata" by my first peircing. Surprisingly, met Mohan, after not having seen him for weeks since his departure for his tour in Czeh Republic.

Went to Cityhall. Met another unexpected figure - Francis (our ASC course-mate and battalion mate) who was waiting for his friends at the mrt. Went to New urban male to sort out my delayed-membership matter. After which Chin Yu and me headed home after strolling around Marina Square.

Went to meet my "bro", his stead and my super-good-friend, Edwin to dine at this oolu neighbourhood coffee shop at AMK Ave 2. Well, little did i expect the Western Food there was delicious and filling. For a reasonable price of 6.90 bucks, you can get a big-serving of western food. I had Cajun Chicken meal. Yummy.

What an adventurous day well spent! : )
