26 july 2008
damn sad and happy at the same time.
First thing first happy. happy because i got my sport band and its quite accurate. at first i thought there was a problem, cause i read 1.61 after running 2.3km. so i decided to run again, it read 1.07 for 1.6km. i thought it was a problem at first but i forget to change the settings from miles to km. but quite cool la. the only problem that its not that waterproof but it cant be helped. i sweat a lot. so i will clean it after my run.
for another happy part.i got gold for my napfa. the sad thing is because i didnt get my perfect 30 out of 30. because of 2sec in my 2.4km, i could have got my perfect score. at first i underestimated the timing for my 2.4km. i thought i could have gotten 10mins or less. and i didnt have a watch so i couldn't see the time. when i saw the time,it was too late. 2 laps to go and already 7mins gone. it was a gonna. plus the rain, crowd and idiots who blocked my way, i could've done better but than it was only 2 sec i cant help it but it's fustrating. if it was 20 sec, i didnt mind but just 2 sec. well i hope they can help me round down my timing beacause not getting the perfect 30 its like shit. well hopefully when they key in the results hope they will close one eye. fingers crossed.

Run
I found a distance calculatow which is quite accurate.
http://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htm
For my training i have been jogging the 11km track.
This is the route i jog for my 11km but the actual distance is 10.98km which i measured from the above website.
for the 11km i start from my house traffic light located downstairs, go across the bridge, turn right, follow the canal all the way to the end. across another bridge, turn right to the jogging track, follow the track all the way to the end(Point A), turn left follow the path which leads to the gruelling up hill and it it will lead back to Point A, than turn back into the canal and follow the path back to the start point.
For 21km, the path is roughly the same but you have to complete the path Point A to Point A twice and go for the 3.6km twice and back to the start point.

Because of my knocked out com, i have been do many things and also not doing any things. i have been jogging regualarly something that i cannot achieve if i play games. i also get to watch tv more. didnt know discovery channel and national geographic were so interesting lol. man i am gong to ask my parents to subscribe to sports channel so i can watch soccer lol. my frens all going in or have already gone in left me idling around. so i got lots of time to enjoy excercise and slack. haha no more fyp no more poly no more waking up early. best of all no more reports and exam. just cant wait to start training and have fun.
maybe i shall join my frens go jogging join some marathons so that i got motivation to train. haha when my com is fixed i sure also update my music which i have been trying to for the past months. i have over 1000 songs in my hard drive but i have placed them in the correct catergories and some of the songs have wierld name. i shall update the song title, put some on youtube and enjoy the wonderful bass that techno produced. i got may songs which i think i should put it on youtube but since i got no com.
My interest now: Jogging, training for marathons, reading blogs, slacking and listening to music.

Hi there, my name is arnold. i am a 20 year old nerd who prefers to excercise than study. well i recently realise that i am competitive. well i love competition with others especially with my friends. but i cant always be the best but i can always compete. recently i visited some of commando blog from singapore. boy were they tough. 3"30s/km was their average. thats like about 8 or 9 mins for 2.4km. wow "surprisingly" surprised lol. the way they train its like crazy people. well i have 11 days before my napfa i wan to train my sit up and pull up before going for the test. hopefully i can get 5points for all my station except sit and reach. thats my most difficult station lol. well i should be able to get my 5 points for standing broad jump and shuttle run easily but most likely i will try to get my 5 points for sit up, pull up and 2.4km run. i think pull up should be all right but i am afraid of my sit up. cause i very long never sit up. but hopefully i can lol. last of all is my 2.4km. my target is below 10mins hopefully can get 9 mins 30s. hope on that day my stomach no problem, hope no one block me and the weather perfect. i've been training for the half marathon clocking 1:03 and 1:05hr for 11km. hope i am not too slow. since i've been training for the marathon i didnt really bother about the speed for 2.4km but for my training,on alternative days i will go for speed training and the other alternative day will be for stamina training.
just so little time to train, cause got all this reports and test coming up. really cant wait to pass all my modules and graduate from the time wasting place. why i say time wasting because more than half of the time you will go there and waste ur time by sleeping or playing. but luckily got friends if not will die of boredom. i am counting down the days left lol hope the last day was yesterday.
my next thing on my list to buy is the nike+ sport band. this is a device that tracks the speed, distance, calories and time taken to travel the distance. there will be a sensor you can place it on ur shoe. this will trasmit a signal to the sport band where it will calculate the distance and calories. the distance will be based on the number of steps. it has to be calibrated if not it will not be accurate. calories is based on the height of the person weight and number of steps taken.it caused 89.90 after discount, i am trying to see got any more discount for the great singapore sale. that day i went to vivo wanted to buy it. heng dont have cause the forum posted the discount for the sportband.now i saved 10 dollars more lol. but i want to see got any more discount. typical singaporean lol. however i also been looking for HRM heart rate meter. but it comes in a watch and its now cheap though. cheapest400dollar can die lol. hope to save more money when i go into army, got free shoe, shirt shorts to run and also got allowance. lol people dont like army but i think i will like it there.
Nowadays, people becoming too health consius liao. there are 2 type. first type is scared too fat, second one is scared excercise too straining than die. simple excercise cannot perform where got healthy. parents also some times too much, cannot run dont run lol find excuse tell officer than you can rest. wah this type of comment also can give. army got 2 people die wah the whole singapore also know. knn the chances of people dying of lung cancer more than 10000% times more than people dying in army. those that die in the army suay la what to do surely got people die one ma. nowadays young singaporeans so pampered, wan eat fast food can eat fast food, last time where got fast food one. last time when you complained tired, the officers f***ed care you lol. nowadays the officer bo pian have to give way. last time got people die, singaporeans also dont care. nowadays people die in army, newspaper put big big on the cover page. wah if i die in army at least i try to serve my best in it before dying. if singapore will to go war, i think the singaporean parents will ask the government for exemption of the son going to war. i confirm you one lol.
i am a racist to be hornest. i am a chinese but i hate chinese lol. most chinese people are given the priviledge of siting at home playing computer games (like me) and not doing anything. chinese obesity increasing liao singapore chinese not as fit as last time. i admire malays and indians why cause they got time can play soccer and do some simple sports. if you were to go to the park, you will see mostly uncles and aunties in their 40s, 50s trying to run. wah you see 20s all at home sleeping. where the healthy lifestyle and gracoius living gone too. down the drain. fancy cars and going to the pubs are not the way to excercise.
totally bullshit. WAKE UP LA SINGAPOREANS only know how to complain complain complain

monday 07/07/08
Sian my stupid com "crashed" again. last night,it was perfectly find except without the sound. but now it cannot be turned on. i wanted to insert the new songs which i bought last week into my phone but... superly sianz. cannot do work like that lol, even the simplest of all work, i still need to rely on my sis com who is out until at night. how pathetic without a com. well if the com was working fine, than it will be play time for me. well maybe i can endure months without playing or maybe not playing at all. haha we sure see hows my endurance.
so without my com, what do i do. jog lol nothing to do mah. today i am going to jog with my class mates after school. i will go try all the napfa stations see where my training is at. but they also wan to go gym, well i hate to go gym, for the chao ah gua lol. got air con pampered for the sissys how to go ns like that. i think i will continue running lol.
well i will resume training for my marathon which i feel is the most important among the 3 physical activity. i am involved in napfa(sure pass), poly 50 and army half marathon. well my target for the 21km marathon is below 2 hours. i reduced the timing cause i feel that 2.5 hours like damn slow. hopefully i can reach my target.
Yao ming said that if you try, that dosn't garantee success but u give up, that garantees failure. i believe him lol. i will try my best for the marathon. well the training schedule and my school timing will be clashed so when my com was down i felt that it had to be down for a reason. heres my reason, to put in the most effort in my studies and my training.
i just added 3 more techno cds to my arsernal lol. got some nice songs lol. got remixes of apologise, westlife song and most of them i never hear before so it's bloody good lol. i spend 55 dollars on all 3 cds. this money could have been spend on a computer game which i felt was worthless since my com was down. lucky got government funding, it not i cannot spend on my cds. my next target is to get a jogging shirt. singlet like, can absorb sweat and should be light. that day when i went shopping with my friend i saw what i like but to my dismay, wrong size. ka na sai one lol why they dont have L or XL. they dont know got tall people like me in singapore who likes to excercise meh. at most think lol, maybe got some fat people oversized one wan to run than how? where M size meh. either they never think about the rest or they just hack care damn fairdap lol. but i think i can find my just that it is very hard lol. that time i got mine at bukit batok west mall left one more shirt my size one lol. but aiya hope to find it soon cause i am running out of shirts left since i run almost everyday.
that day my friends and i got a taste of my jogging route. 11 km of grueling ups and down hill defintely tired after the run. we took 1 hour 5 mins to complete the gruesome 11km. but we did it, but i need to run a few more times to improve my time. i think i can endure the army 21km marathon but i always like to make it easy. i will try the 21km later this month if i have the time. i have to also practice on my napfa, i will be going with my classmates hopefully and hope to get my much awaited gold lol. oh ya i never mentioned this in my blog. if i were to become an officer in ns, i will definitely sign on. if not my aim is to become a physical education teacher. seriously no joke thats my ambition. not bad for a nerd lol
