A week of visiting people in hospital...

First... went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to see francis cos he suffered ghout attack on the sunday... can't believe it was that serious after the 12km road march last week... can't imagine he's only 22 and he's suffering from this kind of illness... but glad to hear that he's alright now...

Second... went to KL... took the mid-night train and reach KL in this morning... it was my 2nd uncle whom is suffering from cancer... he looks bad... I dun know what to say to him cos i'm totally lost of words and i'm poor in these kind of situation... dun know why... my mind just went blank... fyi... when i see people bleeding... i always have this edgy feeling... that's why i can never be a doc or even nurse... but at least my dad says he's better as compared to last week...

Feeling really tired now due to the long distance ride for the last 24 hours... head for bed soon...

Just came back from a 3 days 2 night southern island kayaking trip once again... this time it was sorta fun with many new experiences.... :)

One is definitely using KH fishing rod where we caught many many different fishes at both Hantu and Sister Island... n it was really really easy... btw... we let all the fishes go after we catch them cos i feel they belong to the sea... :)

Second was to see a group of like 5-10 DOLPHINS coming out of the waters at Sister Island with ONE dolphin flipping right up into the air... that's totally COOL... didn't manage to take a photo of it... but seeing it was totally awesome!!!

Third... trying out both the NEW single (TUI) n double kayaks were fantastic cos they have the... cannot remember the term... think is "rudder" is like a piece of material at the back of the kayak which by pressing yur left n right foot to steer the kayak into the correction direction... damm cool... don't need to adjust the strength of paddling anymore!!! haha...

Overall... this trip was a great getaway from the buzzing city... good timing of kayaking n lots of slacking time at the islands... totally luv it... thou i feel the food can be a better... haha.... kk... time to rest before booking in to camp again... ciao SIKE...

This year sports ball was at Merchant Court - Swissotel... Most prob this will be the last ball i will attend as i have graduated from NUS... hee... was late due to XQ cos i also have no idea why... but i was supposed to be late too due to the my unit ORD parade for the ORD specs n officers... :P

Recieved the half colours award again... felt nothing cos i got it 2 years ago... haha... but i feel this event is nice as i get to see the many people i didn't see for quite some time... like PY... SP... G... LH n etc... the food wasn't that great but i somehow like the venue... gives a olden chinese environment... cool...

afterwards... we head to Hooters for a drink before walking to some pool place at Park lane... from Clarke Quay to Park Lane... damm far i feel... esp for the ladies with high heels... haha... ended around 330am... n i forget to bring my keys... had to wake my sis up... paiseh sis... today... i just slack slack slack... a long long time which i dun have time to do... :)

First of all... I would like to thanks all the NUS biathlon people such as wei keong... kenneth... kim long... etc... for making this half iron man possible for me... really learnt and experience a lot... and accomplishing one of the dreams i wanted to do... :)

Half iron man... 2km Swim... 90km Bike... 21km Run... that is what i did on sat in desaru... on fri... we arrived at pulai desaru hotel... we went to register for the race and did a 10km warm up cycle around the area to gain some experience for the bike on sat... it was good as it gives me an impression of the terrain i'm supposed to cycle on sat... sat... the competition starts at 10am...

2km Swim... the wave was definitely stronger than Singapore but not as worst as Aussie... but somehow i manage to clear the swim in a fast timing of 44mins... when i came out of the swim... i can see that many people are behind me as their bikes are still on the rack... so i was feeling... hmm... not bad.... hee...

90km Bike... the biking was kinda my worst part... I don't dare to whack cos i never really cycle 90km on the bike before... so i listen to kenneth advise and pace myself... lots of cyclist gone pass me... but i just don't care... just pace myself as it was inserted in my head... the power gel i ate must be consistent... n i hydrate myself with water whenever i feel is neccessary... in the end... i manage to clear the biking leg roughly 3hrs 20 mins...

21km Run... this run was really torturing as the heat in desaru was scroching hot... I ran for the first 3km... after that... it was walk... run... walk... run... one thing came in my mind was one guy asking me why is he doing this... n guess what i replied to him... "not everyone in the world will do a half iron man... you are GOING to achieve it soon!!!" then we ran together for a while before i started to run slightly faster... hee... in the end i clear the 21km at 2hrs 30 mins...

In the end... my final timing was 6hrs 40mins inclusive of transition.... :) this was a fantastic race!!! a thing i hope next time i would like to do it again... but maybe some other places... hee... actually... yesterday... my body still can endure a bit more and i'm not really feeling that tired or strain in my body today... hmm... thinking of "IRONMAN" now... haha... :P

Yippee... We are the Men Champion...

Last sun was the still water competition... n it was totally a heart stopping experience... in the morning i went for the 21km AHM run which i think i did not ran that well due to insufficient training i guess... n i hurriedly ran out of padang to Kallang swimming complex...

We were leading like 21 points for the Mens Category... n i realli realli hope we can win that cos we are in a good position... but after DQ for 2 of the events... my heart suddenly breaks... my face totally change... I was so so worried we can't win the Mens Category... but in the end... we joint tie wif TP... but we lost in the overall champs to TP for this year competition... it took me 3 years to enjoy the glory that once NUS had... so i realli realli felt estatic after the win... Dinner was nice at furama hotel which i ate like 16 crayfishes... hee....

This week in army seems long... with guard duty on sun... but is ending soon.... n the BEST thing is my understudy came... Yippee again!!!!
