Ultimate challenge for 2011

Yes, i had undertaken to join a contest and a bet to lose weight. How much? 10kgs in 120 days. Possible? Yes. On target? Not really, which is of obvious amusement of Dawn and Reina.

40 plus days had passed and i had only reduced by approximately 2 kgs. Over 70 days to go, my calorie counting and jogging sessions have yielded 2 kgs lost so far. Looks like i have to increase the frequency of jogging from 3 to 5 time a week. xP And that will be possible only if i jog in the morning rather than evening. Cos leaving early on time is a challenge in itself.

21st Oct 2011 is the deadline for the challenge, lets hope i will be 67.7kg by then.

Am pretty serious on the weight lost challenge, so much so that i went to check on the cost of a threadmill and exercise machine. Unfortunately, the simplest cost close to $1,000 !!!! OMG! so i guess i will stick to jogging and hopefully to start swimming soon.

2nd post, and a sad news...

Well, went to read what i posted in 2010. It is dated 17 June, when i just joined the mogas team.

My colleague had just resigned then and moved to another company. Managed to meet her a couple of times after that. Unfortunately, that were the last couple of times i get to meet her as she passed away last Nov.

I can still remember getting that sms while i was in Perth. In Perth casino to be exact, probably playing 'Spin the wheel'. My colleague, Jace, had sms-ed me to inform me that Fiona had passed away in her sleep. She was only in her middle 20s.

It was sudden and very unexpected. Left the world behind without warning. Would it be a good way to go? After having months to ponder about this during my chemotheraphy, yes, dying in my sleep will be good. Probably painless. Just that she didnt get the time to say her goodbyes. Which is rather sad that she didnt get the chance to do so. And it is painful for the family as well.

Really led me to think back that i was in my mid 20s too when i came down with cancer. And how really lucky i am to have survived treatment.

Seize the day they say, and seize the day i will. And so should you, my dear reader(s), if any. =P

Life is short, so remember that family and friends are probably the only things you will miss/think of during those short dying moments.

1st post in 2011: Just shaved for CCF 2011!

Its a long time since i last blogged. Probably written that the last time as well. Life had been exciting since then, with lots to do and no time to be online during my leisure time.

I guess main attributes to that are, one: i do not have my own PC, laptop etc. two: just so much to do, and so little time.

oh well, here i am typing away to update my life so far .. since 2009? or 2010? Gotta check my last blog entry later, after this post.

1. I have gotten married to Wheng after 14 years of steady relationship!
2. We have a place of our own now. =) And obviously in debt. =(
3. I am in remission for 5 years now.. or is it 6? hmmmm....
4. I just shaved for Children Cancer Society's Hair for hope 2011!





And yes, that is my pretty wife beside me. =P

Lots of thoughts in my head.... but as they say, there is a time for everything. So lets hope i remember to blog my thoughts next time. Maybe the pictures of my travels, but probably chucking them into Facebook would be a faster way of sharing them. kekkekeke
