Hole In One

Golfing Session! It's a hole in Two instead of one.

There's two lobangs(Blisters) on my fingers after wacking the balls off the range. Hey Golf is quite fun! Initially balls are just rowing off the mat and down to the ground level. Wasting the balls but after a few swings they are off flying into the sky though not as far as the ones Benard hits. According to the instructor Mr Tay we were quite good first timer. Haha...

Golf is a rich man sport.
1. You need a country club membership
2. Equipment costing 10k per set.
I think it's worth picking up the sport especially if you're a business person and totally a good way of relaxing or venting the anger. Get the swing right first in order to do that. That will be the next sport i'll pick up when the money allows. Hahaha...

Now it's time to concentrate on running and Time to hit the road again!

We are the Champion!

Time to play volleyball!! This is the only time I'll play competitively for this year. Why? Cause this team is super fun to play with and we always win for the 5th consecutive year or maybe more. Been in the team for 4 years but the others has been playing longer. Even though this is the 4th year playing together but it's also only the 4th time i'm playing with this team. Unlike the other team we only meet once a year to play without any training. That's how good they are, if you know the volleyball scene maybe you will know why and it's an honor to play with them.

This year like i say it's my only time playing volleyball the legs are too tune to running that it was a hard time staying low and move for the ball. A lot of it went flying BUT manage to end the whole final game with a spike. Haha...Shiok!

Qualification Vs Knowledge

One last year in our PE course and doing sports science, set upon reflection of the qualification we have but are we really ready for the world out there. Just speaking to a friend who did sports science in UK, we were discussing about the sports science course there and the course I'm doing. OMIGOSH! The things that we are learning are just merely the bare bare basic that only touches on the surface of sports science. I feel that properly for PE lesson and math lesson yes, we have a foundation built over the four years but if the school were to ask me to start coaching and come out with a training program den i will feel that the knowledge learned is inadequate relating to sports science. Suddenly I feel lost trying to put the different puzzle together but still having missing pieces to the big picture. Big picture is to come out with a training plan for my team. So to find these pieces means it READING TIME this holiday.

Running For a Purpose

Just looking back at the past few months of my life, it been a tough roller coastal ride. Having gone through two operations (1st is in 2006 and 2nd this may), sister going into depression and tmr my father going for his operation to remove his tumor. It seems like everything is going the other way around.

Looking from the time of my 2nd operation to now and looking at my family, the difficult times have bought my family closer from a family of 5 individual to a family of 5. In the past, i hardly communicate with my parents and seldom sharing with them about my life. But recently it taught me to open up more to them and enjoying spending time with them.

The two operation also showed me that life can be easily taken away that i'm still here though some lost had to be made. I'm glad to be given life again. I want to live it and to run it. Thus, it a dedication to the one above
TO RUN FOR A GIVEN LIFE!

Stop the World and Run endlessly

It has been a great running week which seems like the world has stop or slowed down for me to run freely in this busy world.

Today run was great going down from Anusha's house to Bedok Reservoir to my house. About a great 8km run and as promise some photos of the great view on the peak of Bedok Reservoir.


Reservoir in the 90s with a fit runner

This one seems to be on the top of the world

It's a hot day today! Hey, where did Anusha went at the traffic light? Look where i found her...

Behind the PCN board!

I love this life of endless running, running freely in the world! Loving it...

Running Trip in the East

Suppose to meet my junior this morning for a run at Bedok Reservoir but she didn't turn up!! Must be pigging away that's why and she didn't reply till now. Must be too pai seh.

When you got to run you got to run, no matter how lazy those feet are and how much it complain they got to get going cause the Boss say so. Normally, it's the first step that is the hardest one but after that just falls in motion. Since i'm out let's hit the road and start those engine for a long run ahead. Ran to the reservoir and up the hill, hey it's a pretty nice view looking over the whole reservoir with Bedok on its side and Tampines at its back. Next time i'll bring my camera and post the picture of my next running trip. From the hill i ran using the Siglap park connector to Anusha's house. Initially, wanted to take back my driving license but she's still sleeping too. Must be a tiring day, people are sleeping and resting. Why am I out running? I love it that why... Stopping at 7 11 for a drink and hit the road again now down to Siglap road to TJ and back to Bedok Reservoir.

Tampines --> Bedok Reservoir --> Siglap --> Bedok Reservoir --> Tampines


Changi maybe my next run trip location. I'm going out to explore the east!

Passion, Purpose, Drive

I love teaching especially to my dear tuition kids. Seeing how much they have grown even though they are still lazy but never stupid unless they choose to act like one then can't be help but to smack them to wake them up. Tough job but it's fulfilling and enjoyable..

Guess in choosing to do something it really must be enjoyable and guess teaching is a calling too. If not it will turn from
Passion --> Patience --> Perseverance

Similar for the sports i choose that involved all three so NO PROBLEM to go back to Passion.

Next exciting stuff is I'm super tempted to get a road bike.. Got a super good offer from a friend. Should I get it? Will I have the time to ride? Enough Kaching?? Pay by installment can???

Math Mosquito Math Test



"Look! 6 downs, 6 bonus marks for the math test."
I know why we were in the math lab today, smart way of cost in calling the pest control to terminate the mosquito. Call in the teachers, learn math and count the number of mosquito killed and that will add to today's math test score.

That's the amount of mosquito killed by Mr Tan who neatly placed them in rest on the speaker. "Tink tink! Up goes the test scores!"

Math test was not as bad as last year's one at least it was quite manageable to do and it's everything that was taught in the lecture. His test is based more on teaching methods rather than knowledge. I got stuck at proving the angle at the circumference is twice the angle at the centre. Suddenly the brain went blank, until i saw Jeremy's one before submitting that the centre one could be 180 degree. Oh silly me thought of proving it using the isosceles method.
Overall was good. Hope the results are good to with two mosquitoes killed plus two point.
