(hello hello hello) -echo-

This blog is ultra quiet and still. I feel like a trespasser in here.

Anyways, I dropped by the blog just to assess the progress of its decomposition. And hmm, almost a year since the last post. Sigh. Actually the only reason why I am here is because I am pretty bored. I’ve already wasted the whole of Saturday and first half of Sunday so I was thinking, why not just waste my entire weekend? So I am (adding to my I-ought-to-shoot-myself-for-not-studying guilt meter) not attempting to touch any study materials this weekend.

Eh no, actually there’s another reason why I am here. ‘Cause I just feel like blogging and typing something down but I am no longer keeping a personal blog. So here I am (after 4 attempts to log in)!

In my boredom this evening, I looked through all the photos in my 6 ODAC albums on Facebook. And man, I miss those days Now everyone’s too tied down with their own occupations that we barely see each other much. Okay stop it, I shall not start ranting.

Just want to say that I miss all of you and hope to see you guys soon!

Till then, enjoy whatever you’re doing now and take care <3

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELLOW LANDCHIEF!

well, 3 coming up.dunno about y’all but i know two 25th guys who just can’t stop(no prizes for guessing who). you can take it as something to keep an active lifestyle and take time off from work/ns?hahaha.anyway…yeah, who ever is interested, comment here and find a team mate online! anyway, any girl up for ATC??can’t partner lem this time.so sad.haha (i know almost of you all retired already) but i shall remain optimistic.and i just realised lem can’t take part cos in NS and gonna be shack and book outs on sat..so clash..hm….i think i’m kinda optimistic to the point of foolishness already.but oh well…if anyone interested to take part, I’ll be really O.O.pleasant surprise.

anyway, hope you all are doing well! and lets revive this.

I know some people who are volunteering for DAR3 this coming saturday. Great job! Except why volunteer when you can PARTICIPATE?!? First of all, racing would probably take up a lesser time than volunteering. You can have fun doing whatever 26ths has planned for the race rather than bore your ass on a bench, at a traffic junction telling every pair in singlets to go that direction. Oh yeah, and longer hours? I hope this makes you guys realise how terrible it is to volunteer, and encourage you to join instead…

So anyway, (speaking to nobody) come support team omgroflbbq!xobile on 17th April 2010! or support your favourite race officials/volunteers!

Oh wait.. there’s more! SMU Adrace is on the 24th of April, sadly 2 days before my enlistment, and probably the last day you see me with hair. Support us! Team Just Whack! Consisting of your favourite New Urban Matt, our one and only Top Student, our ONLY member who got a x-country medal, and this 19yr-old-fart. I guess that ruins the encouragement….

Hmm.. I wonder if this post will cause our webviews to increase? LOL

LF

finally something here after so long.haha.anyway, some days a go, LF,TB,ST have been discussing about more adventure racing and also about maybe taking part in overseas ones.this is quite a good link to find out more about future races.the current ones are rather impossible.

http://www.actionasia.com/actionasia/Events/

haha.anyay,to anyone who still visits here,hello!and lets play guess who so bo liao make new post.

ANYWAY…StandChart marathon 5th dec 2010 anyone?

anyway, here’s a simple shoutout to say I love you guys (: eh I do miss proper PT days. like run 4.8 then run to block3 and do stairs, then play lame-o captain’s ball, ahaha :B aahh 2 months plus plus before we supposedly say byebye officially. but of course, unofficially, we’re still stuck w each other for like the next next months!

okay, I’m getting nowhere. hmm. I guess, I kinda dread invest/farewell, erghh.

take care of each other! take care of yourself! keep the spirits high! (:

SHAPE Run is back! A run exclusive for girls, yeah.

Route: Republic Avenue > Crawford Street > Nicoll Highway > Stadium Boulevard (Start/End point and route is subject to change)

19 July is after our CT2s, so no worries about studying. Take is as a break after CT2s. It’s just ONE Sunday.

You can choose to run either 5km or 10km. FT, JN, SK and ST are going for 10km!

Anybody else wants to go?

-FT

This post very relevant to those taking part in 42km! for those in 10km,might be useful as well.and for those interested in long term running or long term health&fitness.

Firstly, do get your running tights soon.QA,TB,LF has gotten theirs for an average price of $45 each.its a fair price to prevent abrasion. If you think its not worth for a one-time-use, then use it more la! or risk suffering abrasion at your thighs or around your balls (for guys) (OUCH!). I think its quite a cheap price for very slight compression tights. you don’t need compression tights like the pros or track team wears, those cost $120+ and not really for us since we’re not going competitive/pro. Buy a size smaller than your normal,after all, its meant to be tight. (tights what…DUH)

Secondly, train for it! Whoever thinks going into this without prior training is kinda crazy/ you may survive it, but its gonna suck big time. May be the worst 4-5hours of your life. Join TB’s training plan of 20km on weekends. Its good to get, not only our stamina, but also our legs, bones, and joints used to the distance. Yes, you don’t want to be limping for the last half of the marathon. Don’t be daunted just because its TB’s training plan. The plan is meant for us ODAC-ers who want to do the 42km. And we’ll be doing it together. Ofcourse TB will slow down for us la, he won’t kill us all by going so fast. ANyway, even if he does, we don’t have to follow his pace mah.

Thirdly,some other advice given is to use nipple plaster to prevent nipple abrasion. Yes, sounds weird but it can happen and its best to prevent it. Energy gel,once per hour is good and in leter parts maybe once per half hour.

So, I hope you guys take preparations for the marathon seriously. After all, its your own body and health that you should be taking after. I strongly urge you all to buy the tights and do the training. Shall not say more, its your ultimately up to you. Anyway, all the best to all of us in completing the marathon!

It is simple…but it is not easy

-QA (i wonder how many ppl still visits this)

Guess who, guess who!

Not fun! It’s quite obvious who I am right? ‘Cause no one else bothers to blog here.. Anyways, DARE2 just ended today; marking the end of our mental marathon. B2B to OLC1 to OLC2 to DARE2. I just want to say: Great job to EVERYONE for EVERYTHING that you have done. I know there have been screw ups here and there for all the events that have passed but it’s okay, as long as we learn from it, yeah? Screw ups are there for a reason, that is to let us learn from them and not let them happen again. So for me, I don’t really care if things screw up as long as we can get something out of them at the end of the day. And for things that have gone the way they should, that is just AWESOME! I’m can safely say that I think that we have grown quite a lot just this year. Learned to cope with things better, handle situations well and stuff. Great job guys!

Next up, choosing the next batch of ODAC Instructors! Got to think through it carefully and make the right choice yeah! And once we’re done with that, we’ll have our Tea Party, then Initiation, then Investiture and lastly Farewell. And before you know it, we would have already passed over and will be busy studying for Alevels; we’ll barely have time for proper ODAC activities. So do treasure the little time we have left together in VJ, but fret not, I’m sure we’ll have much more time to spend with each other in our life.

For now, I think everyone deserves a nice rest so do take the Sunday off to relax and take your mind off any distractions and have some quiet time for yourself. I always believe that everyone should once in a while, take some time off to have some personal time when you can just sit and think about all the things that have happened, will happened, your thoughts and feelings. It really helps to clear your mind. Serious.

<edited> PS: People who took pictures during B2B, OLC, DARE etc, please do upload them onto the photobucket account for the viewing pleasure of others. Thanks. </edited>

Everything’s going to be over soon, and I’m already starting to miss it.

FT.

Ans: He went “Dead blog, dead blog, dead blog, dead blog, dead blog, dead blog, dead blog”. And then attempts to revive it! =)

HEY PEOPLE!

B2B is in ONE DAY’S TIME! I am actually pretty excited for it, though secretly I can’t wait for OLC (Yeah yeah, sadistic.) Now it’s no longer a secret, open already. Go people! We will all do our best for B2B!! Shall make the campers have fun, and then cheat their feelings when they sign up for OLC. Hehs. It is alright if we screw up a little here and there. Then we will all be able to learn from it and better prepare ourselves for OLC! JIAYOU DIs! JIAYOU EVERYBODY!~

I know everyone’s stressed up over school work + B2B + DARE2 + OLC etc. HANG IN THERE PEOPLE!

PS: Don’t you guys find that our blog and loggie are getting a little deaddd?
