Run Run Run

Long time since i posted running post.

( Yes, i been lazy, and busy.HAHA! )

Anyway, took part in the Jurong Lake Run 2013, in July 2013.
It was a 10km run, and of a good weather ! ^^

The cheering from the volunteers helped too.
Their "加油，加油。。"
And, of course, the very important Water Points that i aimed to reach, so that i can have some water to drink, and carry on running.

With mixture of runs and walks.. i managed to find the run. *(Timing was not important, finishing the race was.)


Trying to motivate myself at the 9km marking with this photo...

Continued running and, i reached !


Well done, next run soon.

Bruce Lee - 40 years - 20 July 1973

His way of shouting and fighting.. That yellow suit..






Some of his best quotes..



Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
― Bruce Lee

My faovorite quote : “Be happy, but never satisfied.” ― Bruce Lee

You have been a legend, Bruce Lee.

RIP.

Hail storm in Singapore - Tuesday, 25 June 2013

Past few days, it was pure heat and haze in the air in Singapore.

Today, it finally rained, and a Hail Storm !
And it happened in the west area of Singapore, the area where i am staying. (But i was in office, and did not witness it with my own eyes.)

However along the way home, i did saw trees of the whole road, actually fell. And in turn, causing a little traffic jam.

I took a picture when i alighted at my bus stop. A block signature was found hanging at the opposite block too !



Anyway, check out the pictures people caught over at Stomp.

What is a hail storm ?
Hail is a form of solid precipitation. It consists of balls or irregular lumps of ice, each of which is called a hailstone Sounds like "raining ice" =P

* * * * * * * *

Since the hail storm happened in the west area of Singapore, ( the area where i am staying ), of course the rain and wind was strong.
Believe it or not, Mum called and informed me that my room got kinda flooded as i did not really shut the windows, and "locking" it.

Yes, i took about 2 hours, to shift my study table, and clean... It could have been longer, luckily mum and dad, helped out!

It was a chance to clear the dirty room. HAHA!

Friends in Singapore, did you witness the Hail Storm today? =)

Hope you are doing good!

Hi Michael,

Hope you are doing good. It's been 4 years since your departure.

Your music still stay. Not to worry.

The Haze, back with a vengeance.

Every year, the haze will come back to us. 
The wind blowing towards us... The lack of rain... 

After a few days of breathing in dust, and itchy eyes.. this time around, it got really terrible, with the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hitting a new record of 400, on 21 Jun 2013.
Anything above 300 is considered, Hazardous.

The following picture, cheered me up a little.



Anyway, forecast for 23 Jun 2013, was predicted to be in the very unhealthy range of 200 to 300.

Got myself a mask (not the better N95) but just to prevent myself from breathing in too much of the unwanted particles.


I think i looked more handsome with half the face covered up. (Haha!)

Let's hope it rains, or the fire in Indonesia gets better.

Meanwhile, to all, tons of water, take care!

IOS 7, Android, 傻傻分不清楚。

News back dated few days ago..
Apple got this new IOS 7 that is coming out..



First look, nice !
New colours !!
More features !!!

I want to download NOW ! =P

But then, a deeper look, it looks familiar....... (with me, as an ex-Samsung SII user.)



So no new iphone, but a new IOS 7. 

How do you find this IOS 7?

Now should i wait for other new iphones, or try to locate my previous SII...?
Hmm Hmm...

Still in Youth Club ?

Few days back, i received a letter from People's Association (PA).

It was a letter of notice, asking me to a Youth Club meeting. My first thought : since when i was in the Youth Club? And at my age, can i still considered a Youth? (HAHA!!)

According to Wikipedia, "Youth Club" refers to a youth social club, a place where young people can meet and participate in activities such as football, soccer, basketball, table tennis, or video games, or religious activities.




It was the first time, in my 20+ years staying in this area, and the very first time i got this invite.

Now the next question: will i get fined if i did not attend? =x

Have you received such letter before ??

Anyway, i should not be attending it, or....
Maybe i should start practicing the YMCA song.....

Oh, Y... M... C... A....

Bend it like Beckham

Watch this movie before?



At age 38, Beckham retires. 
He was in tears in his final, last match few days back..
PSG was the Ligue 1 champions already.



Thank you Beckham !

I not his hardcore fan, but still feel sad for him to retire.
The many amazing golas, and free kicks he took. Sigh.

A chinese saying : 长江后浪推前浪 ( cháng jiāng hòu làng tuī qián làng ).
"The analogy of things to continue moving forward. New things to replace the old. "

Let's take a look at his goals, one more time. 

Next movie to watch ?

After Iron Man, there seems to be quite a few good movies coming up !

Man of Steel



Thor: The Dark World



So exciting !
Which on do you think it is more worth it to watch? =P

Man hitting worker in office

Reported in Yahoo.

Abuse in office.
Man hits office worker.



First saw this video on Facebook..
It sure looked painful !!

Does that poor guy deserved such a treatment of hitting him repeatedly on the head ?
Even with a major mistake in work, at most we get a serious scolding or at most a warning letter from the Human Resource Department.

Will you be sounding it out, if you are that guy ?


Wondering which company is this, and of how Ministry of Manpower and the NTUC, will be replying to this incident.

Terrible incident.

Have you got these app ?

Recently there has been few advertisement on mobile apps, for chatting, did you notice ?

Firstly, i saw Line.



Yes the one, with handsome guy, Siwon. (Scream, ladies!)

The one one that i saw on television recently is Wechat.

For this advertisement, they managed to find Rainie Yang, and  Show Luo...



I have both applications on my phone.
Personally i like Line more, due to its cute pictures of Rabbits, and Bears.. haha! And of course, the "free call" function !!
With this function, we can use the internet to chat with the other party, who is also having the app. ^^

However, i think more people are using Wechat this few days, as i already got quite a few friends, doing so.

Which one do you like?

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*

Anyway, ending this post with another version of Wechat advertisement.
And a touching one.



Cheers !
