These few weeks, I have been bolted with loads bad news. 20 June 2009, one of our newbie rider, Michael Chin, age 42, from Joyriders passed away during our Saturday Eastern Newbie ride.
26 June 2009, another shocking news. The king of Pop, Michael Jackson, age 50, passed away. No doubt I am not related to him, but I have grew up together with his songs and dance movement.
28 June 2009, another of my friend, Calvin aka RaveTall, age 43, passed away. Somehow, when we grow older, it seems that we are witnessing more death as compare to birth. Maybe thats life bah.
Cherish what you have in life. Love those people around you. Take advantage of all favourable situation and make the best out of it. Lastly, live life to the fullest. Because I will never know when its my turn to leave this world.

What a swim
After several months, I decided to jump-start my afternoon swim during my short lunch break.
Looking out the window, the sky doesn't look promissing. At the stroke of twelve, I locked up my office and headed for my car. A safe and quick 10mins drive, I reached home ground, SAFRA Tampines.
Changed into my pair of new swimming trunk, I head out to the pool. Hmmm.... It seems rather empty. Once in the pool, I started to propel ahead. Managed to swim 10 laps within 15 mins. made a quick dash to the shower room for a quick bath.
Make it back to the office at 12.50pm. Have a quick bite of Bee Hoon which I had 'ta bao' this morning and swing into action by 1.00pm.
Result: Satisfaction and happy with the swim. I am glad that I have gone for the swim.
One down, one to go (biking) before I end my day.

Updates
In 2 weeks time, all my weeks of bicks training at Mandai will be put into test at Port Dickson International Triathlon. I have been with Team Seamonta for about 1 year. I have to admit that I swim so much better, fast and comfortable.
Last week, we had a swim at Changi Ferry Terminal (Super low tide). Everyone of us swam about 500m out from the shoreline. Out of no where, a ferry boat sounded its honk at us. I have never swam so close o a BIG ferry boat. Scary.....We were so frightened that we may get suck in by the waves.. Close call.
Back on the bike leg. I was able to maintain at 32-34km/h along coastal, selarang loop and Hendon loop. But....I cheated on the running leg. Hahaha. Too hungry to run liao.
Yesterday evening, I tried to put what I have previously read and understand into pratical test. The power of Chi Running. After the run, I wasn't tired or shack after my run. I was able to increase my running pace.
During the run, I was able to consistently focus on my breathing. In order for me to breath better, I raised my head alittle and look out for road markers , such as traffic lights and road sign. (Previously, I alway look on the ground). Hence, I truely enjoyed yesterday run. (6km in 41mins thats about 7mins km/h)
I will try again on Thurday evening to confirm that I have somehow understand the profound of Chi Running.
This evening is back on the saddle with Benson and Wee san at Coastal and Selarang.
