Gay Encounter

Judging from the title of this post, it’s better for me to first declare that i’ m  STRAIGHT.

Encounter 1: 

This incident took place @ Mount faber Safra Energy One Gym locker room.
I was changing in to my running kit in the locker room when i met this guy. Lets name him “Mr A”. Initially we had a few eye contacts .After that, i noticed that he kept looking at me while im changing in front of my locker. So i turn and look at him for. Mr A smiled, so being polite i smiled at him too. Than he came forward and talked to me. At first i felt abit weird, but he did not try to do anything funny. So i thought it was alright to reply him and not ignore him and walk out of the locker room. Thinking back, i should have done that !! :)

Anyway Mr A was asking whether i’m done with my workout and going home. So i replied him that i’m going for a run outside.
After my run, i went back to the gym. Guess what, i saw him in the locker room again. He came forward and asked if it’s fine to have a coffee after that. This made me felt even more weird :S You should know what i mean by weird!!! I lied to him that i’m rushing for time. So he said it’s ok and we went separate ways.

In the evening,i received Mr A’s bloody sms!!! He said he managed to get my number from the sign in /out sheet on the desk counter of the gym :S Shouldn’t have told him my real name!!
The first few msgs were alright but after a while he asked if i’m attached. I replied his sms out of friendliness… I told him i’m single and out of curiousity, i asked him if he is married.
Guess what he replied?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

He replied: “I’ still single, is there any difference? Or u prefer married guys? “

WHAT THE FUCK!!!
I replied him that he got the wrong idea and i ignored him + deleted his number… This really piss me OFF!! Do i look like a gay?!?!?! HOLY Shit!!!

Encounter 2:

As usual, after my swim and sun-tanning at the pool this morning, i went to the toilet for a bath and change up.
Usually i will choose the cubicle located in front of the bench which i put my bag and belongings on it. I will just close the cubicle door half way so that i can still keep a watch of my stuff while bathing.

There is this bloody guy in his mid 30s who came and put his stuff on the same bench that i’m using. He stood at the bench area facing my cubicle wrapped in a white towel and kept watching me while i’m bathing!!! I know this is disgusting, but the MORE FUCKED up thing he did was rubbing his dick while looking. And the thing which made me even more PISSED OFF is that he can still smile at me!!!

Initially i ignored him and continue washing up in the cubicle with the door fully closed. But when i open the door, he is still outside smiling and doing the same dirty act a few steps outside my cubicle. I stood inside the cubicle and confronted him cos my towel is hanging  at the bench area. Luckily i’m not standing infront of him, if not i think he will have a taste of my PUNCH.

I Raised my voice and asked if he has got any problem!!! He did not reply me. I shouted at him again in Hokkien and asked if he has got a problem here!!! I scolded some vulgarities at him and told him that if he got problem wait for me outside!!! He replied No, he got no problem and quickly pack his stuff and run out of the toilet.

HOLY Shit!!!
until now, i’m still quite piss off with this pervertic Gay… Better don’t let me see him at the swimming pool again!!!

Gold for IPPT!!!

The month of June is coming to an end. It marks the 1/2 year ended for
2009.

I’m proud of myself because i’m seriously getting closer to my fitness goal for the year.

I ‘ve just attained (IPPT) Individual physical proficiency test – GOLD this tuesday!!!

Another $200 going into my bank for the next pay day!!!
2 more off days for me too!!!

It’s really an achievement for me. WHY ???
Because i know i’ve trained hard for the past 1 year in army and i’ve overcome all my physical weakness in NS.
One year ago, i used to fail my IPPT and SOC test. My stamina is very weak and my endurance is terribly poor.

BUT now, i’m getting stronger, better and faster!!!
My 2.4 timing is 9 mins 16 secs – as compared to the very last time i took in March is 9 mins 48 secs. Which means my timing improved by 1/2  minute :)

Finally, my hard work paid off… I have been very consistent with gym training and cardio exercises.
3 times of Gym session per week  and minimum 3 times of running/swimming/HIIT and speed training for my cardio. 

For the past 6 weeks, i had a mixture of long distance running (5-6 km) and HIIT speed training at least 2 – 3 times a week. My weight dropped from 76.4 to 73.5 kg due to the the constant cardio training i planned for myself.

On the 7th week of my fitness schedule, which is also 1 week before my IPPT test, i concentrate alot on stamina and endurance training which consists of HIIT, statics training, long distance running (7-8 km) and swimming.
I stopped hitting the gym and had fitness band workouts instead.

Running is no longer a hassle for me :) It’s a passion now. I just ran 8 km this wednesday and clocked 37 or 38 mins. So in total, i ran about 15 km for the whole of this week in camp. I’m going for my 9 km run next week. My unit is preparing us for the army half marathon in July / Aug. Therefore every wednesday is long distance running. Haha hope i can cut my weight to IDEAL 70 kg after my Army half marathon in July/August.

Fitness updates

Hmm…
Weekend = Workout & Cardio / Sun-tanning  + Study !!!!!!!!
(Cardio – includes swimming or running)

Sounds boring??????????????

But i’m enjoying my time training for my ideal lean & rip bods. I can see the result. Even Mayur (A friend i met at Ponggol CC gym) commented about my improvement and growth after these few months of consistent hard work.

Protein powder is also doing alot of help with my recovery progress. This is the 4th week that i’m taking protein supplement. My weight maintained at 74.5kg – 75kg. (Last measured TODAY at Energy ONE gym) Bull shit to whoever that mentioned protein powder makes u bulky and gain weight! If u consume it at the right amount and have adequate training, u will NOT grow FAT at all! I have been maintaining my current weight for the past 4 weeks of protein consumption.

I will ONLY consume it after my gym workout. 3/4 scoop of the 1 scoop serving size. Sometimes i will consume 1/2 scoop in the morning and the other 1/2 scoop after my gym workout for that day. It depends on my diet for that day itself. From what i know, each time your body is only able to absorb 16g of protein. So 1 scoop consist of 24g (as mentioned on the nutrition table on the packaging). There fore by taking abt 3/4 means i’m consuming approximately 18g of protein after my workout. Not too bad, i guess.

Anyway, for this weekend, i did shoulder and traps on sat. Chest and biceps on today. As for my back, triceps and traps, i did it on one of the weekday in camp. I did a 5 km run on monday and another hardcore 5 km ( consist alot of up slopes) today. I ran past henderson wave today :) I love the feeling of being up there :)

That’s all folks.  I’m going to continue with my studies now. Bub bye

Week by Week :)

I have decided to keep track of my training & my weight every week !!!
Instead of gg reviewing it every month end, doing it at the end of each week keeps me more FOCUS and consistent with my workout and cardio.

I set up a training fitness schedule using Excel spreadsheet. It’s pretty efficient and i’m able to track the no of workouts and cardio i will be doing each week. I’m more aware of the body parts i’m working out for each gym session :)

Current weight is 76.4 kg

Last week is 75 kg

Going to put more effort in cardio :(

Fitness Evaluation

Evaluation for the month of April.
 
I have been keeping a CLOSE watch on my DIET and my fitness regime starting from this year.

GOOD NEWS:
Lost another 3 Kgs after 8 weeks of combined cardio/gym/abs training. Current weight now is 75 Kgs.
Glad to say that I’m getting closer and closer to my fitness goal for yr 2009!!!

Throughout the past 8 weeks, i have been consistent with gym workout at least 3 times a week.

Besides that i have also been doing alot of statics which includes push ups & abs exercises. Physical training in army is all about endurance & statics… Quite boring at times, but it helps in building up stamina and getting more lean in fact… 2 times a week – > Usually it will start with a 3 or 4 km run follow by 2 or 3 cycles of 6 sets of exercises which comprises of crunches, flutter kicks, sit ups spider/normal/diamond push ups … etc

Bunk workout – UPPER bods using the fitness band & chin up bars + push ups has also become part of my training regime.
This regime will consists of 5 sets.
Every sets will begin with doing chin ups of 5 to 7 reps , thereafter follow by doing wkouts using the fitness band which consists of lateral side raise, lateral rear raise, front raise, military press + squads and biceps curls. After that i will rest for 30 secs before doing 30 push ups – Normal Diamond & spider. Its definitely very effective as i can really feel the BURN after finishing all 5 sets.

As for my gym regime, i have plan in such a way that i will be able to hit at least 3 times a week despite my army and busy part time study schedule.

I will hit the gym 2 times during weekend day if that particular week in camp does not have busy training. However if there is practical training till late for that week, i will only go on wednesday evening during nights off.
Sat and Sun will be my gym wk out days too. I will also go for a swim during one of the weekend after my gym training…

As for my diet, i will be taking 100% Whey Gold standard protein starting from May. I have ordered on Wednesday night and it will be here tomo evening :)

Will update my progress again at the end of May :) HOpe everything goes well!!!

Body for LIFE , Cheers :)

My exam is in the month of July, so i ‘ve got roughly 2 mths + to prepare myself :) I really hope i will do well for it !!! despite the busy NS and fitness schedules to juggle at the same time…

I know i can do it, if i want to…

I’m Yours !?!

” I won’t hesitate, no more.. No moreee
It cannot wait, I’m yours… “

” There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours “

Simply love the 2 parts of chorus above from the Song – “I’m Yours” by Jason
Mraz. Find it quite meaningful so i decided to learn how to play this song with my guitar :)

Intro Chords (relative to Capo): G D Em C

    G
Well you dawned on me and you bet I felt it,
   D
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted,

  Em
I fell right through the cracks,

C
And now I’m tryin to get back….

            G
Before the cool dun run out, Ill be givin it my bestest

   D
Nothin’s gonna stop me but divine intervention

    Em
I reckon its again my turn,

    C           D
To Win some or learn some….

CHORUS:

G              D
But I wont hesitate

            Em
No more, No more

            C               G—D—Em—C—-(D again if it feels good)
It can not wait; I’m Yours

Repeat that same rhythm and patter throughout the song and rest of the verses :)

Here is a fantastic video of  this great song, a LIVE performance by Jason Mraz in Korea :) Enjoy

FITness Evaluation

For the month of January & February, my fitness routine:

Friday nite 5 km Run and static workout
Saturday would be gym & Swimming/Jogging
Sunday would be gym & Swimming/Jogging

***Results:

IPPT
All 4 stations obtained gold
2.4km run - Silver timing -> 9min 54 secs

SOC timing – 8min 47 secs

For the month of March, my fitness routine:
As i have more freedom in my new unit, i’m making use of my free time to hit the gym and do workout in my bunk…

Monday, Wednesday & Friday would be abs & fitness band workout
Wednesday, saturday & Sunday would be gym workout  
3 km run every Monday and Friday morning

***Results update

Pull up increase by 2 more reps

2.4 km Run – improved -> 9 min 48 secs (4 more secs to gold timing)

Physique getting good, can see my shoulder getting more lean… Tummy no more!!!

The abs roller and Fitness band has been very useful as i get to train conveniently on the days when im not hitting the gym :) Maybe i should get myself a Yoga mat to bring to cmap too :P

I’m targeting to get more lean and lose 3 more Kgs at the end of April…
Have been doing lighter weights and between 12 to 15 reps for shoulder and biceps exercise. Have also been doing quite a lot of Abs exercises which i have incorporated in my gym regime and during my bunk workout session.

I’m considering if i should get myself protein powder. I need supplement to make sure that my muscles are recovering well for my next day workout. I dont wish to over train and get injured.

Bunk workout equipment

Y do i name both the Abs roller and Fitness resistance band as bunk workout equipment ? ? ?

Very simple, cos i bought them to facilitate my work out during admin/free time in my bunk.

Seriously, there’s nothing interesting to do in camp !!!

Going for nights out ?  – Damn sianx sometimes.. unless i got something to buy , if not its wasting energy and $$$ going out…

Go to the mess ? – Even more sianx… nothing interesting lehh..

The best thing to add to self worth during NS is going to the gym, going for jogging , doing workouts in bunk or do some readings…

That’s what i have been engaging during my free time ever since posted to this new unit.
