Views while out at sea
Been sailing alot recently due to work... Out at sea, there are many many views that one would not see at the same aspect while on shore... During sailing, i've encountered countless sunrises and sunsets, moonrises and moonsets... cloudy skies, storms, water sprouts starry skies and so much more... Thats 1 very big plus point for being able to sail...

Premiums on the rise again!!
The major car insurers have announced that premiums will be raise again... ARGH!!! I juz renewed mine with the raised amt and now they are going to increase it again... knn...
Rates are estimated to go up 20%, that will make my premium next year ard $3.6k... under my dad's name summore... I will need all the insurance lobangs when the time comes...
Its also not hard to understand why are these happening.. With the increasing number of major accidents and the new trend of cars turning turtles on the road, premium dun go up mah kay(oso fake)... Have the road conditions worsen, or the drivers are more reckless nowadays? Maybe the driving schools shd revise their standards...
Lets hope all the hamiltons on the road tone down abit to help reduce premium and i'm crossing my fingers that the number of CTR accidents stay low...
Here are some of the pics i search over the web of recent accidents...

Run of the week again
Its the weekly run again...
Tried running at a more constant and sustainable pace... a little slower but still manage to keep it below 2hrs, had a stiff neck while running, i think due to insufficient sleep the nite before. I've tried changing to a new pair of socks but they were still soaked. I think the problem lies with the shoes, ventilation wasn't gd enough to keep my feet dry... didn't encounter these problems with my asics but at least with the saucony, my feet dun hurt. We shall see....
Roy joined us for the first time, i think he regretted it big time after the run... Hope it wun stop him from joining us in future. Shaoyang came too, he didn't run 20km but he still made the effort to turn up and i think he did 11km, well better than nuthin. Who else wans to join our healthy lifestyle? Contact me...
Distance: 20km
Timing:
Me: 1H57
OMP: 2H12
Muzhong: 2H22
Roy: 2H25
Siswi: 2H27
Zongren: 3H03
Mingkiat did 15km: 1H45

20km - 01 Mar 09
My long awaited weekly 20km run which had been missed for the past 3 weeks, thanks to the damn routine. Today's turnout was the best, we had the regulars, OMP, Muzhong, Mingkiat (Newly signed up regular runner), Me... our "in-house" pilot - Leonard, and the most effort award winner - Zongren. Siswi still hasn't recover enough to join us this time. No worries, she will be back in action in no time... coz she's also a runnerholic.
My aim this time is to try to do below 2hrs, we started off in a ok pace... juz keep running and running, the turnaround point then i realise i'm on almost my 10km pace... no wonder i feeel quite tired, sian, there's still the route back.. Another 10km. As i ran, the stupid lousy saucony socks didn't help lor. They absorbed so much sweat that my whole shoes are wet from within, every step i take was swish swosh swish swosh... super uncomfortable. And the thought of my new shoes are goin to smell... Its really @#$%^!!! The lousy old converse socks can do a better job. I need gd socks!! Who can recommend?? Muz be comfortable, absorb sweat, soft and wun be wet.
Bearing with the discomfort, still try to push myself, very conscious of the timing too... I think really pushed a little too much, as i ran, i was thinking: "SHIT! Sundown like very siong... abit dun feel like running liao" Why would a non runner for the past 26years do this to himself.... haha. But to the runners i forced to run... Dun rejoice, it would never happen... We Will Be Running!
So timing for today:
Distance: 20km
Timing:
Me - 1 Hr 55 min (Yay!! I did it!!)
Leonard - 2 Hr 04 min
OMP - 2 Hr 14 min
Mingkiat - 2 Hr 24 min
Zongren - 2 Hr 51 min (Great courage and effort!!)
Muzhong due to our damn routine, too has stopped for the past 3 weeks, so he's doing progressive running to get back on form to do 20km comfortably.
Went for breakfast at OLD TOWN with all and khim (Leonard's baby), had the extorbitant strongly recommended Nasi Lemak by leonard with the extorbitant can of 100 plus. Nasi Lemak was quite gd, but still extorbitant.. Feel like carrot. Chilled out, chit chat with the rest trying to psycho me to try diving. Introduced another new sport to my life too... - Rockclimbing. This, we had roughly anchored a date for it so it should be realised shortly... As for diving... we shall see...
