Wow... so fast 2008 finishing liao.
Neway, every new year eve is just the same. Is it really necessary to go through all the trouble to get to very crowded places to count down? Does it mean that the year will be better? I dont tink so... I just want to cross over to the next year quiety and peacefully.
Another few more hour will be 2009. Have to start thinking of my new year resolution.
Hmm, next year resolution will be :
1) Reach summit of Mt Kinabalu
2) Continue running at least 3 times a day
3) Learn the following new things this year:
i) Morse Code
ii) Sign Language
iii) Roller Blade
and another 2 others
4) Read up abt psychology and understand
5) Read and finish at least 5 non-friction books
My wish for next year is to have no war in the whole world. But this is not up to me to decide. I can just hope and pray for World Peace.

15 Dec 2008 - Back to training for my week 2
Mission this week : 5-15 seconds, then walk 1-2 minutes
Mission today : Total Timing 15-18 min (including 5 mins of warming up and 5 mins of warming down)
What I did was 5 mins of warming up, then 15 seconds of run & then walk 1 min for 7 sets, lastly warming down for 5 mins. But when I'm warming down, there's a sudden downpour. I ran to my void deck to avoid the rain. So I actually run more than I'm suppose to today. Downpour really make me run faster and don't really feel tired when running. But really hope that the next training ,on Wednesday, won't be raining if not I have to postpone again.
Didn't buy a t-shirt after my 1st week of training. My boyfriend's mother gave me her standard charter run's t-shirt as it's too big for her. So I save on a t-shirt. :P

13 Dec 2008 - Jump Training Manual
Read a blog on Jump Training from my iGoogle. Just to share with you.Most of the sports like Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer, Racquetball, Volleyball, Track, Wrestling, Squash...these all have a common theme in that one has to utilize some sort of 'jump' movement to excel at them. Jumping is an essential part of so many sports, so let's learn how to do it a little better.
To practice jumping, begin by jumping in place from a squat, exploding from your lower body to push you up, then (most importantly) landing in a squat. When you land again in a squat you prevent intense impact on the joints of your lower body, especially your knees. Once you get comfortable with that, begin jumping onto steps or platforms, making sure that you are clear of others. Once you become comfortable jumping up, also jump down, still landing in a squat. Quickly you will notice much more explosive strength in your legs allowing you to: jump higher, get lift quicker, sprint faster, accelerate quicker and perform better in sports.Lastly, some people will say that working on jumping vertically will decrease your ability to sprint faster. That is just stupid, because the beginning of a sprint is a forward jump (but since your leaning over, it's actually vertical). How about this - to put that silly rumor to rest, try it on yourself. Go sprint and time yourself today, then practice jumping vertically for 3-4 weeks, and then sprint again. If your time doesn't improve, then you are a liar because you did not practice jumping for those 3-4 weeks.
6 Dec 2008 - First time view flat
We were quite excited today, cos we are going to view flat. Told the agent that we are looking for a 4-room flat and the requirements.
We meet them at Bishan and view our first flat. The first flat is on the 2nd level, which is actually not wat we wanted. We wanted higher level. But the agent explained that this flat is juz for us to see the condition and stuff like tt.
Next we move on to a flat at AMK. Wow, dis flat is so horrible! There's like more than 10 tenants staying in the flat and it's in very bad condition. And the smell of it when we step into the house will be unforgettable. The owner of the house is asking for quite a lot of cash to cover his lost, but err... dont tink he will be able to make it if the tenants are still staying there.
Next will be another AMK flat. This one is the best among what we have seen today. Top level, minimum fixed cupboards and quite big space. But the owner is quite impolite. We will be KIV'ing this flat but will look around first.
Next we went to another AMK flat. This one is nearer to MRT station. It's actually quite ok, but the entrance to the kitchen is like... err funny! Neway, clean hse. No one staying there already. But it really needs major renovation. Owner is asking for low cash so it's still quite ok.
End of the viewing, we were both so tired!
But we still went to Expo to look at some fitness sales. I bought a Polar Heart Beat Monitor Watch. :P Actually aimed to buy it after 3 weeks of training, but it's on offer, so i juz bought it first. It's $199. Quite worth it.
After buying, we went to airport. Have a craving for KFC, we tot airport got KFC, but actually dont hv. At last, we ate Burger King and when home by MRT.
Very sleepy and tired! More house viewing tomorrow with another agent.

3 Dec 2008 - The second run
Two days after my first run, it's my workout day again. I have recovered from my first day, so I can repeat the same routine as the first time, but will extend the length by 5 minutes.
I started by walking 5 minutes to do warm up.
Then an alternate 30 seconds of running with 60 seconds of walking for about 15 minutes.
Lastly the warm down by walking slowly for 5 minutes.
Today I feel my heart beating very fast...
Probably I should just follow the instruction from the book.
Next training will be on Friday and the last training of the week before I can buy an exercise outfit. :D

1 Dec 2008 - The first run
According to the book, Women's Complete Guide for Running, my first run should be like :
Walked for 5 mins, very slowly, to the Bishan Active as warm up.
After that, did a alternate running with walking segment...
but I did the counting by the number of steps I take.
Firstly a 10 steps run, then 60 steps walk, then a 40 steps run, then 60 steps walk, then a 100 steps run.
After that, I did a 10 mins warm down.
According to the book, I have to reward myself once in a while...
Hmm... so i have planned reward myself with the following:
- 5 mins show walk as a warm up;
- then, 10 mins walking with short running segments,
- then 10 mins of walking as a "warm down".

Hmm... so i have planned reward myself with the following:
- Finishing my first week of training, I will reward myself with a exercise outfit.
- Finishing my third week of training, I will reward myself with a watch. Probably one with stopwatch, and will be able to beep at the beginning and end of a run segment, and can read my heart beat. Hmm, tink will be quite expensive. But neway, I shld be getting my bonus by then. :P
