Mojo Progress

So far so good, been putting way more effort in finding back my "Mojo"...

Just finished the morning training. Finally after months of not running, last week I kick-started (in addition to training for the Standard Chartered Marathon 2011) my own training again. Last week 6km in 49 minutes. This morning was much better in terms of time, but slightly shorter distance. Thanks to my newly downloaded "Endomondo" app on my BB, recorded a 5.27km run in 29 minutes.

Well, feels good to run a little faster this time round. But I know the best is yet to come. Guess the SCMS 2011 came at the right time. Gonna run the 21km so I need to get back in shape fast. PLUS, ZoukOut 2011 is just around the corner too, HEH!

Still getting used to not eating as much as I used to, including cutting down all that meaty, fatty parts. Thinking about it makes my mouth dripping with temptations. Toa Payoh has too much good food then temptations are really never-ending.

I have also started re-building my tennis game again. Lost it somewhere along the way.

There are 2 problems still. First, BECAUSE it is the exam study break, unfortunately when studying my M.Menthol intake has also slightly increased. The other NEW problem, though I wouldn't exactly say it's new... About 2 months ago, whilst playing tennis (I believe was during the SIM Tennis Team final round of trials), I picked up some sort of a shoulder injury. My right side seem to have some sort of strain or ache. I never seek consultation because I rarely do, I always let my bruises, sprains heal themselves. But over the course of the 2 months, it still remains sore, though the soreness is not felt on a daily basis, whenever I lift the right arm over my head, I can feel the strain. Hopefully it really is nothing serious.

Yes, this may bore the shit out of some of you, but this is my blog. Repeat: MY blog. I don't care if you do read it, I don't care if you don't read it. I couldn't care less anymore. But all these, it is important to me. We all have our "Mojo", that part of us that makes us who we really are. It defines us. I lost it along the ways and throughout the years, made a lot of half-fuck effort in getting it back. Well, as I previously mentioned... wake up call.

I am bringing my MOJO back!

The New Year's Resolution

2010 became the 1st year I managed to achieve most of my goals and targets set, and truth be told, it's a damn good feeling to look back and smile knowing I achieved it. It kinda brought forward the momentum into 2011, hence the goals for this year have been set.


I am not going to fully reveal entirely what these goals are because some of which are personal, but here's a little preview into what I hope to be an equally good if not better year than the last. Mind you 2010 was a rocking great year of epic proportions, literally.

(1) To re-focus and re-building my tennis and up the ante. Hopefully I get to play for SIM this year. 
Andy Roddick. Still my hero after all these years (10 years!)

(2) In 2010, it was really the year of the friends. Rebuilt/restored old friendships, maintained present ones, found new friends! But...

They'll be there for you...
Part of the original 7AM Gang who reminded me who I was that made me who I am.
The Alpha Family who reminded me that even when there seems to be no way out, trust that there will still be someone who has your back.
To those who reminded me that after every thunderstorm, the sun always shines.
To those  who also reminded me that where there is people, there can also be love.
To those who reminded me how to have fun after again,
and life is full of ups and full of downs.
You'll not ever walk alone.
The remaining original 7AM Gang!
SP Tennis Team who reminded that old friends may not meet often but when you need them they are always there.
LUPP SUP: RMIT Business Management Team 01! Believe that there are always new sights and sounds.


Of course, these aren't all my friends. There are plenty who are not in photos but certainly played a big part in getting me back up on my feet again these last few years.

... Perhaps after so many years, 2011 could be the year of LOVE?
I gave up on love a couple of years back. It's time to find it and believe it. Maybe this year it's time to focus on a relationship?
 (3) Got back in school. Time to make up for lost time. 

 (4) This year's travel destinations


 (5) Cutting down on what was a major part of my life

As I said, this is just a little insight. I have more personal goals set for myself and it's for myself only. I am working towards not having to say so much anymore about my personal life.
