first race in 2007...those darn slopes...

slope after slope after slope...that's what this race got lots of...slopes...

the most strenuous is the clmib up mt faber...and as if that was not enough...another few slopes welcomed us at telok blangah/henderson area...

good thing was no matter how slow i was i didnt stop and clocked a 50.17 on my stopwatch...spent way too much time at mt faber...by the time i was out of that area it was already 21min

collected a S size tshirt this time as experience from wave run told me M is a little too big...came back and found out S is now a little too small...geez

Gundam...then and now

couldn't help but post this to make my point of how toy engineering has progressed over the years after seeing this http://www.sukumizu.jp/#20070420



from the proportions, color, poseability, articulation, boxart, it's amazingly clear that its progress is in the category of "leaps and bounds" over the past 20+ years in which gundam has been around...

come to think of it i wanted to post sthg like this long long time ago (when i posted sthg about toys of the past and what nots) but never got round to doing it...anyway gunpla is the first example...perhaps those TF G1 bricks will be next...

Girl Shot Through Basketball Hoop

at first look i was like "wawawewa"
at 2nd look i was thinking "isnt that frigging dangerous?"

3 x 2.4km intervals

yesterday evening's rain disrupted my 3x2.4 at the 3km mark.

so this afternoon seeing the weather being so sunshiny, i decided to give it another shot...i really wanted to prove to myself that i can still do this, albeit the timing will be slower than what i could achieve last year...

so i laboured through the 3 sets...wasnt breathless, just quad pain...10.34, 10.57, 11.09.

terribly disappointed with the timings...was hoping to go sub11 for all 3 sets...oh well...

mizuno mt faber is next sunday...first race for 2007!

inside the bandai gunpla factory...

every gunpla fan's dream job no?

Sony Ericsson K550 and W660

i've never owned a fancy handphone before...so i'm thinking of indulging myself with one for my next handphone purchase...

i'm leaning slightly towards the k550...specs are almost the same with the W660 heavier by abt 10grams

thinking of ending my M1 line when the contract ends in september and start a corporate plan with starhub...not much perks at M1 and the choice of phones they have so far are mediocre compared to singtel and starhub...unfortunately TOS only allows starhub corporate plans...so not much choice for me also...

but i'll have to wait till september? warao...

music and retail therapy

it's good to know there is still music and toys to keep myself entertained and happy...

latest purchases---TF classics ultra magnus vs skywarp 2 pack, alternators rumble and ravage, MG strike noir

training training training

it's back to run trainings for me...have to pick up the pace abit more so as to get some decent timings for the upcoming races...

got mizuno mt faber run on april 22nd and JP morgan corporate run on may 3rd...

cant help but notice how weak+slow i am compared to last year...sianz...kind of expecting my timings this year to be a pale comparison of last year's...

almost didnt get into the mt faber run as i only got to know about it last weekend...all other places near my area had ran out of number bibs....had to travel all the way to vivocity mizuno shop today after work and heng ah...by the time i paid for the registration and left the shop (after purchasing a top at 30% off), there were no more men's open number bibs left...

10bucks = race event tee + 10km run....woopie
