Come on guys! Do you bits for charity this coming Sept 16 (Sunday) at Siloso Beach, Sentosa, for the "Run For Hope Singapore" run! (previously known as the Terry Fox Run!)

Just a mere $30 and a little ground of 8 km to cover!

"Your contribution goes towards funding important research on cancer, in the hope that one day the world will find a cure. All proceeds from Run For Hope 2007 will go to grants awarded to clinical researchers in Singapore for cutting-edge cancer research. The grants will be awarded by the Singapore Cancer Society after a rigorous review process. "

I will be running! How bout you guys ? Hope to see you! If you are running, dun mind leaving a comment here or something ?

Let's do our part and return a bit to society ya ? cheers ! =)

The watch reads 1:43:12...

And thats what was displayed on the my Casio G Shock, 1:43:12.

My first ever 15km! (laugh if you want to... all you runners out there!)
Never knew I could run for 103 minutes without stopping! I AM AMAZED!

The run was conducted at a comfortable pace.
Speed was never my aim (but neither do I wanna go too slow), my aim was to complete the 15km, as a build-up to the upcoming Army Half Marathon (AHM) on the 26th Aug!

After the 15km run, i felt that the legs don't belong to me.... Its as if they belong to others.... I can't really have 100% control as it was way too hard and rigid! Talk about muscle tensioning... I guess thats how little muscle i got... haha.

I treated myself to a wonderful concoction of 100 plus and Cherrynade! Wonder how it taste like ? hmmm, gassy diluted cough syrup ? Not everyone likes it, but I do! and trust me, it PERKS you up!
Now if you are interested, its 3/4 100 plus and a 1/4 of cherrynade! =)

Should I run the marathon ? *ponders*
I seriously wanna try it for at least once in my life... I wanna achieve something (physically)... at least once! train train train if I wanna attempt, if not just give it up...
now the ratio is like 6.5 to 3.5 that I will be going *ponders again*

I am not a running freak neither a fitness psycho.. but joining these "competitions" are one of my several resolutions for this year.

I had gone for the Mizuno Wave Run (10km), next up are the following :

- AHM 21 km
- New Balance Real Run 15 km
- Standard Chartered Marathon 42km

You know why i dog-earred the word competition ?

Its simple actually....

My only competitor is me myself.
If i stop, i walk, i lose.....

Borobudur and Prambanan Temple

|

Had visited Kinabalu Park a few years back.
It remains the 1 and only UNESCO Heritage Site that I had visited!

I have this dream of visiting EACH AND EVERYONE of the UNESCO Heritage Sites!
Come Oct / Nov I will be visiting Borobudur and Prambanan temple in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. =)

Wish me luck that I can get some good pics to share with you guys!
Can't wait!


Borobudur Temple Compounds

This famous Buddhist temple, dating from the 8th and 9th centuries, is located in central Java. It was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with fine low reliefs, covering a total surface area of 2,500 sq. m. Around the circular platforms are 72 openwork stupas, each containing a statue of the Buddha. The monument was restored with UNESCO's help in the 1970s.


Prambanan Temple Compounds

Built in the 10th century, this is the largest temple compound dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. Rising above the centre of the last of these concentric squares are three temples decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic of the Ramayana, dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities (Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma) and three temples dedicated to the animals who serve them.

I am of course happy that my site is drawing so much hits, but the data transfer is quite..... absurd ?
might be due to the AI NI SHI GE CUO flash movie that I am hosting...
I had done some changes to the page, see how this month's data transfer goes...
