National Day

During my younger days, when I watched the National Day Parade on the television, I had been wondering when can I be a part of the celebration. The thought of it went off when I grew older. So, when I was called upon to be a part of the National Day Parade, guess how excited I was.

The training for the National Day Parade had started as early as late April. Although the training was tough, but everyone preservered as we felt honoured to be a part of it.

Below are a few photographs taken during the combined rehearsal.



This is myself in the NUMBER ONE uniform.



All of us are from different departments but all are having the same spirit. The one in the middle is our chief trainer.



A photograph taken during our break time. A time to rest and relax, so that we are prepared for the next march in.



The muscle man requested to take a photograph with me. He is very fit as I heard that he can do 30 plus pull-ups. I am glad that I am making friends, beside having the chance to participate in the National event.

Haha, too bad after that day I got sick. I had just seen a doctor and was given 2 days of mc. So I am resting at home now so that I am ready for the next training.

Driving License

Yah!!!! I am finally getting my driving license lor. I just got the news from my colleague. He said that our company is sending me for my Class 3 driving license.

I had been waiting for this day since I joined my company. So it is a wish come true.

Although, I still need to pass the test but I am quite confident about getting it successfully.

So good luck to myself and all the best:)

Training Your Muscle

I am a member of the FitnessFirst at the Ang Mo Kio Hub. When I first signed up for the gym, they gave me 2 complementary tickets for the coaching by the personal trainer. I did not and have no intention of utilizing the tickets as I thought that I am quite familiar with the gym equipment.

However, a few months later, one of the gym instructors called me and he asked whether I am still interested in the personal coaching. I agreed to go down as I am not satisfied with the muscle progress of myself at that time.

After meeting up with him at the gym, I told him that I wanted to get leaner. For the next one hour, he coached me and correct my techniques on using the gym equipments. The things that he had taught me was useful.

The bad thing was, I quit taking protein supplements due to some health problem (Which I thought I have). For the next 3 months, my weight drop from 86KG to 80KG. I had also lost alot of muscle mass. Although I trained as hard but there was no muscle gain.

I felt quite bad. The daily food intake was not enough to repair the muscle damage caused during the training.

After 3 months without protien, I finally can't take it and went back it. The process of regaining the muscle was tough but I persevered.

Now, 3 months later, I am back to shape and was better. My muscles are better developed and more well proportion.

The gym instructor saw me today and he said that from the way I am going, I need to consume higher protein serving and also to consume BCAA. I acknowledged even without knowing what is BCAA.

I have checked it out on the internet just now. BCAA is amino acid, which is good enhancement to the protein.

I may be giving it a try. Who knows, I may become the next Singapore Bodybuilding Champion....hahaha....just joking.

Training is my hobby and I like it alot. No intention of competing but train to feel good.

"No Pain No Gain"!!!!

Encounter at the gym

Yesterday, my colleague, Noor and I went to the company gym after our work. The gym is located at the fifth floor and is usually empty at night. When we reached the gym at about 9.30pm, the lights were off. After entering the gym, Noor went into the toilet.

He came out shortly and told me that someone was in the toilet. At first, I thought that it was nothing, as what is so great about people being in the toilet. However, Noor analysed that who would go to the gym toilet without switching on the gym light. Come to think of it, it was really weird. Noor also told me that he tried bending down to see who was inside. What he saw, shocked him. He saw a pair of boots but it was not in a correct manner if someone is sitting on the toilet bowl doing his business.

The atmosphere suddenly became scary. We did not have a plan but had decided to wait outside the toilet to see what happen. Suddenly, the toilet opened!!!

Both of us were shocked and Noor was even seen walking away, with the intention to escape. And guess who came out. It was another colleague of ours.

Hahaha, I teased Noor on the matter later. So funny. He may look big and brave but.......

Hahaha, hope he does not see this entry, or else he will say "Nonsense"!!!

Stardus

My apology to all my blog fans, especially Alex Lee Eng Meng. Sorry for not updating my blog as I am busy lately with my work.

Share some good news with you all. Dear dear and I are getting married. The date had been set in August at Stardus Clubhouse, which is along River Valley Rd.

I met up with my Poly Chinese Orchestra friends yesterday, and I send out my first batch of ROM invitation cards. They were not surprised, cause I guessed they had already predicted it.

I had not meet up with them for quite a long time and we took the opportunity to chit chat till almost midnight.

I had enjoyed the gathering and hope that dear dear will be able to blend in next time:)

Lastly, I hope that everyone around will be able to find your true love and live happily ever after.

Dear dear,

Thank you for giving me a chance to love you:)

Taiwan Trip

Dear dear and I had went and returned from Taiwan about a month ago. Taiwan is a great country with good food and alot of fun stuff. We had experienced alot of new things during the trip and we will definately want to go there the next time:)

This photo was taken at the new Beitou Natural Hotspring. The spring water was so hot that we could feel it even we were at a distance away. The hotspring that you have seen in the pic was not for public use. There is a public hotspring pool around the area to cater to those who want to enjoy the hotspring.
Dear dear and I did not went to the public one as it was abit crampy and dirty:) We went to one of the hotel that provide hotspring water in the hotel room. There are alot of hotels around the area providing such service and you can choose one that you prefer.

The night market in Taiwan was fun. Here is a photo of dear dear with Taiwan's local delicacy. See how happy she was:)

The lollipop was a prize for the air gun shooting game. This is the biggest prize that the shop has. It goes to tell that dear dear and I are good shooter:)
On the last night in Taipei Ximending, we managed to catch a glimpse of ZaiZai doing his film shoot. He is taller than what I had expected. Dear dear went crazy and was jumping all around just to get a good view of him.
We took a Cathay Airline airplane back to Singapore and the scenary was real nice. We did enjoyed ourselves. Even though we did not have much shopping.
P.S. Dear dear, lets go to Hong Kong & Taiwan the next time (If financially able). I love you.
