When the going gets tough.. the tough get going..

and i have to get going. time for rigourous training. Both of the mind and the body. Studies to build up the mind and physical training to build up the body.

Nothing beats mental training then the discipline of cramming up information in the head and having the composure to actually understand what all the crap is about.

Physical training. well. working out. going for more runs. bow training. shooting. endurance. Ever since training up to poly50, i've always been wanting to run more, run faster, leave everyone behind and just run and run. To build up the physique with endurance exercises. To train the mind as well when pushing the body beyond it's limit.

I need running shoes. Asics? Mizuno? Adidas? Reebok? Definitely not Nike. I do not know. have to do somemore research. Among the brands above. I've tried adidas (of course, i'm like so pro adidas), Reebok and Asics. Have yet to try Mizuno yet. The only thing putting me off is the hard unflexible soles of mizuno runnig shoes. quite rigid well that's what i think. Asics. The lightest of 'em. Well renowned for it's running shoes. But i've only tried an average model of Asic shoes. It was heavily cushioned. Didn't feel real. Must try one of those thinner soled ones.

Which one should i go for..?

Racing shoes?








Like the Mizuno Wave Idaten?















Adidas Adizero?















Asics Gel Superstar?










Or a high-mileage workhorse shoe such as the..





Asics GT-2130?

















Asics Gel-Stratus 2?












Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4?









LOL. It's like the majority of shoes that i'm showing here are of Mizuno and Asics. Well. Coz i wanna try something new rather than Adidas. I know i have narrowed down my choices to one of these. But of what type? Racing, speed shoes that provide a quicker reactivity to my running? Or of workhorse everyday running shoes that can be used for long distance training? I dunno.. still have alot of time to decide.. Until October.

But for now. It's studies first. I have 3 papers over the next 2 weeks. Have to really work hard. Plus a turn of events in my FYP. Finally arranged a meeting with the supplier. That way things can get done faster and exchange of questions and specifications can be instant.

Archery 2nd, I have to work hard for Pol-Ite in october. I have 2 months up to it and one of these months is the fasting month. So there's where the training gets tough. But, i finally have proper guidance and i believe i can do better this time round.

finally. the running. During October and past the Pol-Ite (happens in mid-october). I have to train up for the coming NAPFA test in November. 9:30minutes is the time to beat for 2.4km. Weiyi set me a time of 9:45minutes and i take up his challenge. I believe i can do much faster. hopefully break the 9:30minutes i have set for myself and reach 9minutes or even break into 8 minutes..!! AHAHAHA.. siao.

Okay.. guess that's all for now.. back to studying..

monday's techno test was fine.. not the techno music.. it's short for technopreneurship.. technology + entrepreneurship.. it being a business module therefore i studied with my classmates at T20.. the test was to be held at T21.. so.. being the business block.. EYE CANDY..!! everywhere.. lol.. and there was this hot girl..!!! she has everything i would want in a babe.. (minus character of course).. but.. a guy like me.. and a guy like her.. well.. cannot lah..

oh well.. speaking of girls and relationships.. perhaps it's time i finally share with ya'll a lil something something..

Actually, i'm attached for quite some time already.. It's kinda embarassing to share this.. i know she will be reading this, but i hope she doesn't mind.. it's time to let them know darling.. Haha.. here it goes..

I can't really recall how we actually met or how we actually got together.. it's just like we were pre-destined.. like we knew each other for a long time, or some other lifetime. She doesn't have the looks or the figure that guys would drool over. She's short and has an average figure. everything average. But then again, physical appearance don't matter to me at all.. As long as she's the apple of my eye.. XD

We did many things together (asides all the time i spend with archery).. we watched sunsets.. walked long routes and just talk to each other expressing our feelings for each other.. we've been thru hardships and endured it together.. Once I asked her, "Do you love me?" She replied, "If I don't, who will?" She's always there for me whenever I need someone.

I've got a photo of her. And i think she's photogenic. Drop-dead gorgeous too.. XD

My last poly50 run ever..

it was great.. this time was a little different.. RFID tags.. team jerseys.. new team.. sialan tactics.. XD.
All in all it was great.. this team is a team like no other poly50s that i ran before.. this team was made totally out of SP Archers.. All our own.. All motivated.. All striving ever onward.. All in blue..

The run was the most jammed and pushy and rough one that i've ever participated in.. due to some weird rules that they have implemented..

Wat made the run really really fun was the presence of the new principal, Mr Tan.. I first met him face to face during a dialogue session with him.. and now he's here again.. so he didn't run the principal's lap that was usually held at the start of the previous poly50s.. but.. he did something better.. he actually stayed througout the WHOLE ENTIRE race between station 1 and 2 at that uphill section cheering the runners on.. giving them low-fives.. i myself gave him 2 fives.. what was rather peculiar was that when i fived him.. somehow i was full of an untold fervor and vigour of renewed strength and stamina to run faster.. So it really is remarkable of how a single well-respected person whom everyone looks up to can make the difference in others no matter how small the contribution.. Mr Tan is a great man, a marvellous individual.. And he will be a great principal.. I like him..

Poly50 2008 was a BLAST..!!




TEAM SP ARCHERS 2008















Good Job Everyone..!!












Together now..














Okkkaaaayyy.. -.-"











2 months to make a difference.. it will be gruelling but nonetheless challenging..

Bring it on..

watched the dark knight last friday.. Great show.. Would have enjoyed it even further had i not had bladder problems.. luckily i only missed a very small and insignificant part of the movie..

It's a great movie to watch. would consider watching it again. Damn nice show. with accordance to the current craze of everyone saying that Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was astounding. then i will join them. his protrayal of the Joker is simply marvelous. Posthumous oscar deserving indeed.

Something's wrong with me.. i can't quite seem to get wat it exactly is. But ever since i turned nineteen. i've been getting rather irascible.. oh well.. we'll dwell on that later.. some other time perhaps..


Just a short entry.. will be very busy.. freaking fyp and exams coming up.. pressure pressure..


The wonders of a surgical tube with proper guidance.
