Day 1 of FREE TRIAL WEEK

Hi guys! I'm back to Original Bootcamp Malaysia.. If ur not sure what i'm talking about, click here . It was my post about Bootcamp and there were more posts about it if ur free enough to read through, please go ahead! :)

Ok, it's been 3 months since the last time i joined Bootcamp and seriously i miss it very very much. Although i joined for only 2 months, i learned a lot and i was very fit, thanks to Bootcamp.

In these few months, i did do some workouts on my own but i slacked a lot. Aiks.. Last week i came across this in fb:



It's Shamil whom i met in PJ Alpha during my 2 months of Bootcamp. He was my fellow Delta (highest ranking among recruits) but now he is an instructor. Well done! On top of it, he is one of the instructors of OBC Subang Jaya. SUBANG JAYA
Yes! It's Subang Jaya! OBC is expanding and now it is here at Subang Jaya. Without hesitating, i signed up for the 3 days FREE TRIAL, along with Benny, Hua Bing and Seng Chiu.

Hua Bing and I went for today's session while Benny and Send Chiu will join us on wednesday.

How's today's session?

It was good. Met quite a few familiar faces there, such as Shamil, Angela, Cheryl, and even my previous gym instructor which i can't recall his name (sorry!). We did some warm up and followed by mini assessment which include approx 300m run, 10 military push ups, 10 grunts and 15 military sit ups. We did 2 sets and continued to run around the field until Sarge Jason asked us to stop.

Up next is military push ups. 20 seconds work and 10 seconds break for 3 sets. Followed by sit-ups and alternate lunges. My abs almost killed me. It feels like the 1st day of my Bootcamp in which my abs muscles cramped. Thank God not this time, but it was close.

After the session, every1 was very very dirty.. Thanks to the mud from all the rains... Aiks..





That's it for now, shall update after day 2 of trial week.. For now, HOOYAH!!!

My BIG 22

Yup, the figures are correct. I'm officially 22. Some said i'm old, but i don mind. I think i'm getting more matured instead. Haha paiseh. Now, let me recall what happened in the past week...

29th March - I GOT A FEELING

Yup i got a feeling my church frns will come and celebrate with me. Not very sure with my feelings but for safety reasons, i decided to clean up my room. Just in case they suprise me when im asleep. Haha. Thank God they din't suprise me and chose to do it in a more peaceful way, by ringing my doorbell and came in to celebrate with me..

30th March - HOI TONG STEAMBOAT

Celebrated with a few of my coursemates in Hoi Tong, somewhere in Serdang. It's a BBQ + Steamboat Buffet restaurant.. The food there is nice, plenty of it for us to choose from and the price is reasonable, RM22 for an adult if not mistaken.. Had a great time there, we ate from 5 til 9pm.. Not bad huh...

31st March -LUCKY DAY

Went bowling in Wangsa Walk and i got this.................

HOOYAH!!! 5 strikes, 3 spares, a turkey and my BEST score ever.. I guess it's my birthday luck.. Haha.. Or mayb some1's luck instead? No1 knows.. Keke..

Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia - Actual Day

At 5.45pm , Chun Tat and i started our journey from USJ 2, my house.. According to Google map, it's around 27km to P2, the parking lot where we supposed to meet up with Shane.

The journey was smooth, we passed by 2 tolls in LDP and we reached a junction where we supposed to turn into. Unfortunately, the junction was blocked! We ended up going straight into Putrajaya. We were driving around Putrajaya and thank God we found a turn to Cyberjaya and continue our journey.

The journey got easier when we were in Cyberjaya, thanks to a map by Benny. We were able to locate and park our car at P2. Half an hour later, Shane is here at P2 and we took a shuttle bus from P2 to the starting line. It was ard 7pm.

We collected our head lights, met up with Hon Sern and Cheu Chyong, went toilet, check in our bags, took some pictures and off to the starting line. It was very confusing at 1st, we were not sure where was starting line, finish line and othr stations as there were no signboards for it.






We eaten the free energy bar, drank some water, did some warm up and started our 10km Energizer NightRace!! Shakelingam!

The 1st 2km was quite easy, i was running quite fast and overtook many ppl but after a while, i slowed down. My legs were not as energetic as before, and my heart was not pumping as usual, due to lack of training.. Haih. Basically i'm dragging my legs, one step after another.

After dragging my legs for quite a while, i was thinking bout stopping (run) and walk instead, then Cheu Chyong caught up with me and was running beside me. This is when i started to feel more energetic and continue to run at faster pace. With CC around i felt more motivated. "You can run very fast when ur alone, but you can run longer with frns" is so true!

After running with CC for a while, i heard the sound of the chinese drum "Gong gong gong!!" and i decided to run faster for the final 2km and left CC behind. I was trying to hit my target which was 60 minutes. At 53th minute, the volunteer shouted 1 more km! I gave my best and tried to run faster, eventhough my legs were very "lembik" at that point. I saw the finish line, and i crossed it with a timing of 59 minutes and 35 seconds!!

I managed to hit my target and I'm proud of it. Although the time is slower compared to my best 10k, i felt very grateful to have finish it in my target time as i did not have enough training.. Job well done!

Besides that, i would like to congratulate Chun Tat, Cheu Chyong, Benny, Shane and Hon Sern for a great run. I believe all of us enjoyed that run and I'm now looking forward to the next run... Which is!?!? SCKLIM? Stay tuned..

HOOOOO00YAAH!!!

Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia - Preview 2

Race kit collected! (thanks to Mr Shane the Wah)

It's been 1 month since my last energizer post and guess what!? In this period of time, I ran only 3 times! Yes! Only 3!!!! Lazy me..

For all the 3 times i recorded my lap timing and my total timing to get a clearer view of my pace..

13/03/10 - 2.5km - 13 mins 20secs

16/03/10 - 5.0km - 27 mins 50secs

22/03/10 - 2.5km - 12 mins 30secs

Based on the timing, there should be no problem for me to finish within the qualifying time of 1 hour 30minutes. But as above, the most i ran was only 5km!!! And it was a difficult run, due to lack of fitness. Haih..

For the coming few days i will jog a little but definitely won't jog more than 5km as i would like to save my energy for the real run and to avoid injuries. Hope my strategy pays off..

Alrite, time to go off. Shall post the pictures of race kit in a few days time..

For now, i shall say

Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia - Preview 1

"After conquering South Korea, Argentina and South Africa, we are now coming to you in Malaysia! Prepare to don the headlights on and run in the sheer darkness of the night."

- Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia

I believe this is the first Energizer Night Race in Malaysia as I have not heard about it before. I have heard of other night runs such as Men's Health Run but not Energizer so I googled and found this website:

http://www.energizernightrace.com.my/

It's a simple website about Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia, giving out event details such as location, categories, age group, qualifying time and so on. After browsing through the site, I'm interested in joining the 10km run with qualifying time of 1 hour 30 minutes which should be no problem for me.

After browsing the website, I became a fan in the Energizer Night Race 2010 Malaysia Facebook fan page. On that page, it stated that our category was reaching the amount of targeted runners. Seeing that, i quickly sent out sms and in the end, Shane, Benny, Cheu Chyong, Hon Sern, Chun Tat and myself registered for the run. Yes! The 6 of us.

The registration fee per person was RM60 and UTAR Sports Club was supposed to sponsor RM30 for each of us but in the end, the sponsorship was cancelled. The reason? NO MONEY! At first I felt quite disappointed cause RM60 for a run is quite expensive, but once we registered, we will get a Energizer Headlight for free! The headlight is selling at RM39.90, on second thought it's quite worth it.

On top of this, I'll be running with a bunch of frns. Looking forward to it!

By the way, did some running just now. I'm feeling very unfit right now. Have to do some training and hopefully I'll be fit enough to score a personal best!
