tick tock tick tock

its 0200hrs 300509.
less than 24hours to ah KiaT's 4th marathon to date.

the mind is NOT focus,
the confidence is still NOT there yet.
no doubt its 42km and not 84km,
but its still hell lots of footsteps to cover!

preparation for this race is pretty much similar to the past.
unfortunately afew session plus some endurance high intensity run,
which ah KiaT clocked 182 heartbeat per minute out of his max 195,
which left seeks worried,
coz maybe she worry that ah KiaT may kong ka kiao.


but this time,
the feel is NOT there.
perhaps it's cause ah KiaT is running alone this time, without his buddy.
perhaps it's the lack of proper food diet and carbo loading regime.
perhaps it's the thought of running with brooks again.

decided not to get that mizuno shoe now,
as it's bit too late to condition it,
and its more economical to wait for his buddy's good lobang.

perhaps the only good feel that's good is that,
(if u see ah KiaT from head to toe)
ah KiaT is running with that nice sundown singlet,
with the new arm wallet to stuff all the 补品 that is needed along the way,
with the new black tights,
with that ugly brooks running shoe ._."


nonetheless,
it will be another great run.
ah KiaT is looking forward to better his 4:59:57 timing.
hopefully, keeping his fingers crossed.

回想起来,
its really fun to take part in these adventure races.
when we are old, we can reminisce the moments,
looking through those number bibs, race certs & singlets finisher tee collection.

wait till ah KiaT buy that damn 2 wheel thingy,
better his average swim time
then shall he venture into other races.

enough said.
ah KiaT is looking forward to the marathon now!
(fickle minded, but emotions do rise as u write)

and do u think ah KiaT is crazy if he is able to joga bonito after his run?
haha.
looking forward to the dinner gathering too!
the supper yesterday at joo chiat 飞飞 was fun.
the heaviest mee was so so nia but the people there made the night!


tick tock tick tock.
looking forward to Hong Kong!

which means ah KiaT will miss that mid week soccer game, malaysia gold kart session, mambo night etc.

no wonder there's a term call opportunity cost...


tick tock tick tock.
its time for rest.
time to do some stretching first.
all the best people who are running their race tomorrow,
be it ur first or ur n time.
be it 42.195 or 84.390.

:):):)

[endure & excel]

campione da europa

手心是肉手背也是肉.

ah KiaT supports both the Red Devils & the Catalans.

However, its clear tonight where his heart will goes.

曼切斯特聯隊!

yes that's manchester united football club.

campione campione ole ole ole.

okie, cristiano ronaldo will score, ji sung park will be the 1st asian to play in a european final!

united fans, make some noise.

ah KiaT will join u at kick off, to cheer our team!

:):):)

this has got to be one of ah KiaT's all time favourite!

yes. :):):)

不要这样啦,笑一笑吧...

One doctor asked a patient: "If I were to cut one of your ear off,
what will happen to you?"

Patient: "Then I will not be able to hear..."

Doctor: "Hmm.. that's normal...So if I were to cut your other ear
off,
what will happen to you?"

Patient: "Then I will not be able to see..."
The doctor became nervous and asked: "Why would you not see then???"

Patient: "Because my spectacles will drop down..."



A nurse saw a patient writing a letter.. She got curious and went to
take a peek.. But the patient didn't wanna let her see.

Nurse (unable to contain her curiosity): "Who are you writing to?"

Patient : "I'm writing a letter to myself..."
Her curiosity grew and she thought to herself (Why would someone
write
a letter to himself?)

So she asked again: "So...what's written inside?"

Patient (got impatient): "You crazy ah? I haven't receive the letter,
how would I know??"

so what if

the exams have finished?
UOL exams are always so unpredictable.

enough said.


haha
seeks was so lucky to won herself a state-of-the-art fujifilm F200EXR.
so, ah KiaT tries to import some of those luck and took part in a online quiz, trying to win the following.



Polar RS300X.

nice isn't it?
and it's a newer version of ah KiaT's own RS200.
and ah KiaT think RS200 is like being phased out as it's no longer listed in the web.

Okie, wish him luck so that he can win. yeah!



well,
some important decisions to make during these few days, lets hope ah KiaT will not make sub-optimal decision!

yesterday, together with ben, they collected the adidas sundown 2009 racepack. the sundown singlet is definitely nicer than the blue standchart. However. the size is abit small! haha.

okie all the best for those running next weekend! endure and excel.


so ah KiaT went drinking with Team Keep Walking people. and as usual, they drank like camels but had a great time singing oldies and ah KiaT found a new KTV 主题曲! 说好的辛福呢. haha

okie shall post some photos when zhuoluan send me! 您老兄 eh, faster!


its good that exams had ended, meaning more time to do more things.
there's another exhibition this week at expo.
but honestly ah KiaT dread going there. we all know why.

its been around 1 year since ah Kiat went to the school gym!
its different now.

let's rewind the time to year t-1

2008
1) Go Student Lounge
2) Change shoe in SRC Room
3) Deposit bag in SRC Room
4) Go Workout
5) After workout, nua in SRC Room
6) Bring clothes only to washroom for changing up
7) Rest in SRC Room


now, fast forward to time t-0

2009
1) Go Student Lounge
2) Change shoe in Student Lounge
3) Deposit bag in number locker
4) Go Workout
5) After workout, collect bag from locker
6) Locker number ganna lock, need help from gym assistant
7) Finally, bring whole bag to washroom to change
8) No place to rest, so rest in library
.


哈哈哈哈
we used to take the room for granted, maybe.
but it's been like a personal home!
now, everything have to be done in public, under the watchful eyes of all those cannot-concentrate-fully students.

anyway, 人老了.
too long never gym.
ah KiaT can't carry the weights he used to do so.
seriously. haha.
but it's a good workout nontheless.


jiayou my friends, for your remaining papers.
when the time is ripe,
we shall party like mad!

well,
party in the library, read more books to 读万里书, 知广见文!
and because of all the time spent in Tay Eng Soon,
ah KiaT forgo the chance to tio TOTO.

but it's ok really,
so long it's exchanged for greater grades.


if only ah KiaT can say,


您老兄! 林伯不读了!





[if its sunny, ah KiaT will go Safra Yishun swim!]

KTV PUB NO 1 HIT

伍月十六日

sometimes, EPL managers complained about playing so many important games in a short period of time.

ah KiaT just completed 4 important papers within 4 consecutively days and yet he didn't complain at all.

it was tough really, both mentally and physically,

but then again, ah KiaT would rather run 4 marathons consecutively rather than taking 4 papers.

the papers are hard, as usual,

or rather it's also because ah KiaT prepared late for these papers.

its only Macro and MSM which ah KiaT feels rather more confident.

Damn the Finance paper which made ah KiaT wrote some special notes.

Days spent at Tay Eng Soon library will always be remembered in ah KiaT's mind.

sometimes when u had finished 4 papers in a row and the last paper is some days behind, u simply lose the momentum to study.

the feeling of 'oh 我考完了' is there, just like his friends who also felt the same after the paper yesterday.

ah KiaT wonder will all UOL students dread going to expo.

walking down the examination hall aisle, strolling slowly to your seat, ah KiaT did not have any feeling. not a single thought of thinking he will score in the paper.

why?

only in Macro which ah KiaT actually managed to know most of the questions, however its better not to put in high hopes.

just like last year, when disaster strucked!

anyway, enough of exams talk,

ah KiaT is actually looking forward to post ex-post exams!

the thought of touring Hong Kong! haha.

its actually only the 2nd trip that ah KiaT is having without his family.

ah KiaT's mom even got those masks ready for him!

haha. dun think it will be maskless days in HK.

it will be fun,

but it will also mean missing out on the much-awaited joga bonito session with the Hotstuffs, the Excos outing, and other sessions.

despite dreading the fact having to study in the library, ah KiaT is actually quite happy to see his friends there. dunno why, but its like its such a nice feeling.

anyway, ah KiaT suddenly remember that sundown marathon this month end.

ah KiaT have not been running for ages! set a new target this time round, but dunno will it be achieved!

target of under 3 hours?

hahahaha then i will be in the singapore national team le lo.

time to hit the gym again, time to take IPPT, time for job hunting.

and ah KiaT been secretly view bikes site in the last 2 months.

hahaha, 不管啦。just buy if there's good offer.

then can cycle! maybe with mr surfboard who also got his recently, and perhaps psycho that lawry to get one too!

hahaha sometimes its so fun just thinking of these.

well,

manchester united clinched the EPL trophy yet again!

yeah, enough of tv,

its off to the books.

haven been blogging recently,

sometimes its really the feeling and the inspiration,

inspiration to write about something.

its gonna be another day of study tomorrow,

at CDANS,

but after some workout at Safra Mt Faber!

and ah KiaT is going expo again after exams,

helping Kwek in yet another exhibition!

hoping to learn some skills there.

finally,

ah KiaT want to sing KTV with the exco-the 噴煙 one, drink with the Keep Walking people and supper with the Hotstuff gang.

anyone wanna go running next week?

page me!

and ah KiaT hopes to get ang see kee to run at least a 10KM

hahaha.

:):):)
