I think I've over done it this year.
Up till now, the races which I have registered and paid up have a total distance of 120km (excluding a Croc's 5km walk).
2XU Compression Run - 12km *{1:42:55}
F1 MacRitchie Run - 15km (trail run) *{1:57"70 [Actual 14km]}
SunDown Marathon - 42km *{06:57:46}[Official Timing]
Singapore Bay Run - 21km
Newton Run - 30km
The above is not yet inclusive of the yearly SCSM (Stand Chart) and Nike Run which I normally registered. This weekend will be the 1st run of the year. Dunno what will happen.
I've also just bought a few new things for running. I bought a nike shoe at a Nike outlet last year but then found out that it is not suitable for long run as there were very little cushion. Thus, I went to get another pair of Nike shoe. A grey/yellow Nike LunarGlide+. Really love this shoe (although have only ran in it once).
Then, bought a Nike+ iPod Sport Kit with my Nano. Have just got my hand on it yesterday. Not yet tried it. Hope to be able to try it later today.
Oh, I have a new Newton Racebelt and also a 2xu Compression Socks. Got them from the race pack. Then, will be getting a Camel Pack (backpack with water bladder) by end of this month from the F1 MacRitchie Run.
Don't know y I'm into running now. Hope this can last long for me. :)

Right and Wrong
I've been away for very long and have not been updating this blog entries.
Though I doubt if anyone actually noticed this or not.
Recently I've been reading up some of the "news" and comments in the Stomp. There have been comments of which is as if the commenter is a Saint and could not have done any wrong. Judgment was passed based on a different morale value which if anyone are able to adhere to that, would surely be an enlightened monk or a god.
In fact,a colleague of mine condemns us and says that killing an ant is a wrong thing as they are just performing their own task in this world. Around one week later, he is the one which engage a Pest Specialist to help get rid of his bed bugs which have infested his house.
I believe, most of the people around us are like this. If it does not affect them, this Godly Morale value will apply. If it affects them, there will be tons and tons of "valid" reasons to support their actions.
For example, the Jack Neo's incident. The girl knew of his marriage. His wife acknowledge his infidelity. He, of course enjoys it. Who are we all to say what is right and what is wrong for them to do these? Sometimes, I do wonder, if he come out clean and just tell the public that "I'm having an affair with her and my wife allowed me to do so. You all have problem to accept it, then that is your problem. Not mine!" Would all this have gone down easier? Why do he owe the public an apology?
However, what I really want to comment is not on Jack Neo. What I wanna comment is on Ah Nan. For those who does not know who he is..... He is the normal Gangster face we will see in Jack Neo's movies. There is an article in Stomp that accuse him of acting like a gangster in the press conference by Jack. Who would not be pissed by the way the reporters are acting on that day. Even a normal person would have flare out on the reporters. But these "Saintly" figures all come out and try to make a big fuss out of all these incidents.
So, who is the one to deem someone is doing the right thing or the wrong thing. For me, there is no absolute right or absolute wrong things. It always seems right to the person when he does them. Go and watch Law Abiding Citizen. :p

What's Your Names Hidden Meaning Quiz
Sim Hock Chuan You Are Seductive and Ruthless |
 You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. |

Swiss Day 6
Today is the best day I had in Swiss. I went alone today as Stanley had some other things to do. So, I walked to Melide (at the opposite side of the lake's side). On the way, I passed by the lake and took some morning pictures there. Then from Melide, I went to Capolago-Riva San Vitale by train (similar with MRT but way way nicer). Then from there, I took the train up to Monte Generoso. The mountain is 1704m tall. My hand was sweating most of the way. Some of you may not know, I have a very very huge fear of heights. But, I like mountains. Dunno when only will I be able to conquer this fear.
Back to the Generoso. The journey up was not very long, about 30minutes. The view along the way was OK. Some place where we could see the bottom of the mountain. But most place are just filled with trees. When I reached the mountain top. I was dumbfounded. The word, "ooooo" or "wahhhhhhh" also could not find the route out of my throat. The place is MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
I could not explain it in words what I saw. The view at the other mountains with snows at their tip. Not one or 2 or 3. The whole row in front of my view is a whole row of mountain like this. Not just the top. The bottom is of the view of the whole town of Melide and also the lake. The mountain is different from the ones near the equator. There are not that much tree. Generoso is not a tip with just solid rocks. It is full of small flowers and grasses.
I really think I cant describe them in my blog. Only photos are able to show you all how it looks like.
Now in Swiss is the start of summer. So, most of the families also went to Generoso for their trip. What I noticed is that, a lot of Swiss people loves to hike. A lot of them hike up the mountain and just had picnic there around the mountain. Oh, they bring their dog up for the hike as well. They also just go there for suntan. It is really packed there. Then, some of them went up to mountain to do paragliding. Very interesting. Based on the brochure, they have a paragliding class being conducted there also.
The only thing I don't like about Generoso is....... most of the place is full of SHITS!!! Cow dung, dog poo, other small small ones, the rest I really dunno is what poo ald. It is quite smelly.
After the trip, I went to Lugano again and shop again. Now, I'm really broke liao. Haizz... pokkai liao.
Btw, I look like a halfcooked lobster now. The cook forgot to throw the whole lobster into the pot of water. Only the pinchers are in the water. =p

Swiss Day 4
Nothing much happened today.
Went to lunch at a Thai takeaway place. Nice environment and the food is not bad.
I don't feel good ald. Mayb cause I do not have enough water to drink or don't have enough sleep.
Just now, went to buy waters and some foods again at the Shell station.
Oh, I tried a dish with saffron today. It was supposed to be the most expensive spice (according to Restaurant City in Facebook). But, does not really like it. Can't describe the taste. Especially with the cheese, I could not finish it.
Okla. Now will rest a bit already. Tomorrow is the weekend and we will have the chance to really go out and kai kai a bit.
