Sunday, July 04, 2010

does time has wings?

its july.
好快喔。
most of us would have gotten the 'drumstick'
but who knows when they will collect the whole chicken from us?

half the year is gone, looking back at the resolutions that ah KiaT's made, so far so good.
work is really getting busy, which is good! meaning there's money coming in.
there's still alot to be learnt. even though ah KiaT's been 1 month into the job, it seems that he is still abit 半桶水, but still all right!

meeting customers ALONE is really fun, enjoyable and challenging.
going to extreme places like Tuas and Ubi, all the industrial places.
okie u maybe wondering what's ah KiaT's bread & butter.
basically, he is doing trade.
setting up trade line for SME companies.

it's kinda weird selling here,
but 臉皮要夠厚!
if u happen to know any SME, regardless of which industries,
so long their business nature requires trade, or even commercial property loan
多謝噻, please refer to ah KiaT!!! :)
its somewhat very funny to see ah KiaT so hardworking,
bringing documents back to work proposal on a SUNDAY,
but no choice...

不談工作!
its coming to an end, WORLD CUP 2010.
ah KiaT's Portugal is out. so it's left to Espania.
雖然家中有申請收看世界杯,but it's still very fun and enjoyable to catch up with friends to watch together, either at his house or outside like simpang. lol

last world cup source is missing, hence this world cup, ah KiaT only play 2 matches which still pay bits dividends. :)


Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Hidetoshi Nakata and ah KiaT all have 1 thing in common.

hahaha.
u may ask what?

well, we all have 24 hours a day!
so ah KiaT's not complaining he's very busy hence can't do this can't do that.
it's time to restart the run, swim training.
the meet up and the supper or drinking session.

suddenly got a urge to share about my work,
but it's better not to let work become my life!! GET A LIFE KIAT!


recently, there's something happening out there.
ah KiaT just feel bit vexed he cant really help.
well but, he can't help either!

okie, there's something utterly wrong with ah KiaT.
whenever someone talks about HONG KONG,
ah KiaT will for no reason lid up his eyes and engage in the conversation.
ala ambassador to HONG KONG.

but he really wish to travel back again,
and not just there. really feel like going on a short holiday in November.
and see, ah KiaT say 要學潛水,講了幾十年都沒去。
actually ah KiaT really hope to go back to Picton, New Zealand.
the mountains he ascended years ago, the beautiful sceneries.

我們的世界真的好美喔!

sundown marathon

back in last quarter of 2009,
when ah KiaT pressed the submit botton at the 84KM Ultra Marathon,
he wasn't kidding!
he was up and prepared for it!

following his motto, endure and excel,
he knows its hard, but not unachievable.

the weekly monday runs organised by Ben definitely helps alot in strengthening the muscle and mind.

the days leading to 29 May isnt that perfect.
haha excuses maybe, but ah KiaT doesnt feel good, legs feeling wobby and weak out of no reason.
perhaps the mind is playing a trick!


come D day, ah KiaT arrived very early as he anticipate a large number of cars hence lots are limited, which is actually not the case.
mentally prepared, he went!

ah KiaT is proud to say he completed 5 marathons before this ultra.
hence he believed he's ready! infact ever ready.
oh my tian.
how wrong can he get. the first 42KM sucks!
its like his 2nd marathon, where all pains from everywhere kicks in!

luckily, he met a fellow ultra, and they ran together to complete the 1st round!
seeks, ben and jesper were there!!!
it was a hugh lift to ah KiaT's confidence, as the confidence starts to diminish through the distance!

off we go, walking briskly through the the second lap.
1KM in 10minutes, and hence around 7 hours we should complete the 2nd lap.
pain really kicks in. fatigue kicks in. tiredness kicks in.

they met another fellow ultra and off they go.
but when they hit the 55km mark, the 2 of them fall out.
ah KiaT struggled to carry on. walking become a pain. and the decision to fall out is hard!

ah KiaT did that at the 66Km mark.
questions were going through his mind. it was that hard to give up. somemore its just another 18km!!
ah KiaT knew he cant carry on else risking further injury.

to sign up is already winning! know when to stop.

but the hardest question is how to say u want to give up.
approaching the drinks station, ah KiaT staggered.

volunteer: sir, want any drink?
ah KiaT: ehh. ehh. is that transport back? i ... i ... want to ... fall out..

hahahaha..
okie la nothing to paiseh about.
but its really that feeling at that time la, if u really understand. :)
through that lonely last 11km, full marathoners are encouraging ah KiaT!

"come on ultra!"


its really an experience la.
highs and lows.
but the feeling sucks when u sit at the finishing point seeing fellow runners finishing their run.

u feel proud for them but at the same time disappointed at urself.

YES,
lack of training.
ah KiaT learnt tapping during his army days,
yet he didnt put them to good use.
Patella suffered. everywhere suffered.
but the mind becomes stronger!

ah KiaT knows Ben is waiting for him, year 2011. hahaha
:):):)


[ps: which explains the reason why no photos here. no finish no photo. all photo in seeks camera.]

and dear seeks is very very good!
last year she drove all the way from Pending to Changi!
now this year, she visited me 3 times!!!
hahaha. thank kiu you!

its back!

this has been the longest ever break from blogging.
it seems like ah KiaT has forgotten about this site, all the posting dated way way back in year 2006.

a good 4 years had past.
how does one person life change throughout this 4 years.
4 years, 48 months, 1440 days, 34560 hours, 2073600 minutes, 124416000 seconds!


there's no particular reason to explain the reason of not updating this site, just like there's no particular reason explaining why this site is back on again!
however, these 6 months of absence can be related to work, school and plainly lack of inspiration.

yes. the inspiration to write.
regardless if its of cambridge english standard or speak enquish standard[definitely not proud to say that really],
its the freedom. the thought.


FINALLY, there should be a closure to the SIM days, hopefully. fingers crossed.
and right now, ah KiaT has stepped into another stage in his life and its an important one per se.

有人问,why not rest awhile before embarking on new job, why the rush?
well, its simply the plan ah KiaT had set in mind.
its been delayed. real delay.

life is quite pressing at work, learning curve is real steep.
ah KiaT supposed that's the case everywhere.
its pretty much having to expedite ur own learning in the fastest time possible.
perhaps, the stress had gotton into ah KiaT, as he is down with flu for past few days, and the buddy such as cough and sore throat and severe loss of voice followed. alas and to miss a football game today!

its not of complaining as ah KiaT really really see the light through this,
the prospect and everything! which is good.
but being raw in this industry, its better to learn as much as possible and to be open to opportunities and chances.

haven met some friends recently, especially the ex colleagues and the whole group of Hotstuff, and the soccer gang.
but there are some dinner dates coming in, and ah KiaT is definitely looking forward to them!


oh, wad's my working hours?
basically ah KiaT is on a 5 days work week, but days may end up as late as 8 or 9ish especially in future!

call me @ 9CALLKIAT now!
and unbelievable ah KiaT is actually studying his work!
oh please, let me hear good positive news in september.
its 4 consecutive years that birthday month isnt that good looking forward at!


all rite!
jiayou everyone,
in everything u do!

to share his experiences,

the day before the race,
ah KiaT always do the stretching the night before he sleeps. 
Focus more on the hamstring, calf and gluteus maximus, which is your 屁屁.
Relax your mind, do not think of the run.

Wake up early,

and down a can of redbull when you reach padang!

that's his way of preparation!

沒主題。

時間怎麼過得這麼快?

剛辭掉一份工,下一份工很快又要來了。
自己才休息短短三個星期。
還是覺得沒好好利用。

還是一樣做兼職,等那個時間一到,
我就放膽豁出去了。


這几天都在休息。
有時打网球,跑步,野餐,看電影。
錢出沒進。哈哈。
好久沒踢球了,很想念那種感覺。
不知為何,好像成了爛毒徒似,好像手癢癢似,
很想打麻將。

咳,又要花錢了。
須要買個上班包,哪里有好看的,又價廉物美?
pedro的包包不錯,但很多人有。好common喔。
又要買個网球的包包。 可以放球拍,球和衣服。
明天有空就下坡逛街。


okie 
天氣沒這麼毢了。
該去跑個步,運动強身健体。

後會有期,
個位家伙!

la campanella





不懂粵語沒關系。
享受鋼琴演奏最重要。
啊,這首歌的鋼琴真的是很贊!
優美的古點音樂可真好聽。

打開你的耳機,把聲量調大,慢慢聽這兩出演奏。

aftermath of REAL & prelude to STANDCHART

多二十二日就是渣打馬拉松。
how prepared?


ah KiaT used the real run 2009 as a preparation for the marathon.
it was a great run.
Non of his running buddies wanted to run.
wayne & ben both did the 10km distance.
hence, together with his mp3 player, ah KiaT ran alone.

those 粵語 songs were music to the ears, which motivates and push ah KiaT all the way to the finishing line.
it was quite tough actually, especially the last 5km.

apart from the 3 water breaks that ah KiaT took, he managed to ran non-stop throughout!
a finish time of 1:23:53 was well within the target of 1:30!
why tough during the last 5km?

ah KiaT took 52minutes for the first 10km. Thus u can visualise why the last 5km was kinda slower.
the run was tough. the heart rate was constantly at a 90-94%
SO HIGH!



Practise for Standard Chartered is still in process.
ah KiaT shall use back the tried & tested, but very tough 13+1 theory.
3 phases of 13KM run followed by a 1KM rest walk.
it's gonna be tough, but together with his friends they shall complete the race together.

seeks asked ah KiaT,

"為甚麼你這麼喜歡跑?"


haha,
its hard to explain.

ah KiaT realised from young he loves to run,
from those cross country result in sec schools to now.
哈哈哈

2009 is the year ah KiaT really run alot.
sundown + real + standchart.
不可以這樣了。

recovery is more important than training.
let's get into the mood!
it's gonna be full phased carbo loading this month!

ah KiaT really likes pasta.
but feels like going 126 this sat.
:):):)

國語&粵語對唱
