My Birthday - 25 MAy 2008 - 24 liao

24 liao... almost a quarter of a century gone... times files, really it does.. so much has changed, so much so that it is scary to look back...

so much has happen in the last 24 years, some good some bad, some blessing in disgust and some simply a disaster from the start... it amazing to look back, what i have personally acheive, some of the memories still so fresh like it happened yesterday.. got to admit i have become more naggy as well... haha...

anyway this year i celebrated my birthday on the island of batam, a last min decision of mine to just slack on the island, book up a room at holiday inn which i stayed during last yr new eve... so it was not so long ago i was there... went there with my gf and we really just slack and laze around, never really do much... never spend too much money as well...

we reach batam around indonesia time 11am and proceed to have lunch at batam centre mega mall... as our ferry stop at batam centre port rather that waterfront city which should have been the case but it was fully booked for the earlier slot so we seek the alternative of goin batam centre 1st then subquently after lunch and some shopping, we took at cab to holiday inn... by then it was around 1pm or so when we check into the hotel...

We got a free upgrade to deluxe room which me and my gf felt was not much of a difference from the normal room that we had the other time round... LOL.. still figuring out what is so deluxe about that room, but it was on 9th floor and that provided a very nice view from the balcony...



then we slack till 4 plus before we went down for a swim... slacking in the pool, then we went back up our room and prepare for our dinner, maggi mee! with 2 apples complimentary from the hotel and carrot juice we bought... wahaha... and that was my dinner...


thereafter at night we went for a spa at tea tree spa , shiok, this time round we had a coffee scrub then a herbal body masque and then javanese massage... relaxing and painful at times... wahaha... and sweet dreams thereafter...

then next day we pack up and that was it... our 2 days 1 night came to an end... back in SG... wahaha... and happy birthday to me !!!

IPPT aftermath

Mention on my last post that i went for IPPT on 10 May, i was desperate to pass as i need to do so before my coming birthday, otherwise it would mean Remedial training of 2 months... quite scary...

And i fail!!! Sianz... morale low and i fail my 2.4km run by quite a lot... the passing time was 12:20 min and i was at 12:59 min to be exact which is 39 second to make up... damm sian la that why untill now then post about ippt.

So after that ippt i decide to train and since monday till thursday i ran everyday and only eat Mr bean soya beancurd for dinner... trying to lose weight as well... and it work!!

This morning i went to retake my ippt and i passed!!! i clocked a time of 12:03min knocking off almost 1min off my previous timing... and funny thing is , this time round i took it under the hot sun and the other time round, it was cooling weather...

HEre are my result... wahaha




but anyway just damm happy la, $100 incentive and most importantly no RT!!! yes la!!!

Going to party later at velvet... go rest liao...
