The exciting adventures of the shoe, beaches and a helicopter
Totally irrelevant, my apologies

I bought an Asics shoe about a week back and just today i had the opportunity to finally try out my new running shoe.

Introducing the Asics GT-2110 running shoe, featuring (from the website)



Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®)
ASICS® design philosophy that uses linked componentry to encourage optimal gait while allowing for natural foot movement from heel strike to toe-off

DuoMax®
Ensures that the shoe maintains proper support for the foot during the critical transition from heel strike to toe-off

SpEVA® Midsole Material
Provides superior shock attenuation along with a cushioned ride and enhanced durability

Space Trusstic System™
An advanced system that creates a pocket between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function

GEL® Cushioning Systems
Provides maximum rearfoot and forefoot shock attenuation

I will not profess to be a good or excellent runner, i just sometimes run to keep my physical levels in check. I really admire and respect people who take up running as a hobby cause for me, running is more of something that i will rather not do. Perhaps its the fact that i'm not that proficient in running anyway that causes this attitude of mine But sometimes i believe that with proper time and training i will one day be able to run 10, 20 km without even breaking a sweat. As of now, i'm trying to fit running into my daily routine as much as i can, being in the army hardly gives you time to actually do your own running cause most of the time you'll be so exhausted that running becomes the last thing on your mind.

But one cannot deny the importance of physical fitness in the army, hence i must still find means and ways to fit decent mileage into my schedules.

Sigh if only one day i can run with free abandon, not having to worry about stitches, muslce aches and just being slow. Hahaha.

Anyway, today Plt 02 was SUPPOSED to go Sentosa for a outing. but apparently, everyone "forgot" about it, hence it was "cancelled" haha. Luckily i was still in camp when Shuqi called me telling me that the chao Privates had hung them. lol. Saved myself a trip down to Sentosa. =P

*

Talking about Sentosa, i had a great time on thursday with who else but S. Hehe, though we did absolutely nothingg and almost missed the last bus out of Siloso beach, it was still pretty fun talking to her. =) Oh and btw, i saw the RSAF's new Apache Longbow attack helicopters Flying and circling around Siloso Beach. It looks superbly cool man.


Of course i did not take this picture, i cope-ed it fromt he net. Muahaha

I was telling S about how the RSAF only owns fighter jets, AA missles and other misc items, helicopters etc are bought by the RSAF under the army's budget. Thence this actually makes the Helis property of the Singapore Army. HAHA, Above All indeed!

Beautiful weather, beautiful day, beautiful sunset with a beautiful conversation makes for a beautiful memory. =) Had loads of fun, just sitting there, enjoying the breeze and getting sunburnt. Heh. =D

Oh! and to my utter amazement, Siloso Beach ACTUALLY has a B&J outlet! WAHHH~~~ So happy, but didn't buy anything from them though. Haha.

*

Oh well, my chao recruits have finally POP-ed from BMT to officially become less-chao-but-still-chao Privates. I was just telling them that with rank comes a little more priviledges, but apparently, they misconstrued it and though that since they are now Privates they can act like Sergeants. BAH. DREAM ON. Smoking breaks still require our authorisation AND you will still march from Pt. to Pt Haha. =)

*

After S bought her digicam, i've been feeling so tempted to get one for myself as well. My dad's digicam is hugely gargantuous, my brother's cam is spoilt and those cheapo ones that i bought from SAFE sucks to the core, what with the pictures turning out worse than your HP camera ones.

I'm interested in one, the Canon Powershot, going for $299 (At the IT show in Suntec). But really, i cannot spend so much money anymore. =( Being tempted is one thing but having a pragmatic and rational mind is another.

I must resist!
I will overcome!
I Will save my money from the gallows of the cashier machines!
I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO TEMPTATION!!!

Maybe later i'll go down Northpoint and check out those digicams. Hahah

Anyway, my dad finally scraped his old car and bought a new (ok, a second hand, maybe-more-handed) Proton Saga.

Malaysia Boleh!~!

I was like OMG! Why a Proton?? But so far, its not bad lah, just that i hate the colour, its turqoise Green,kinda like chlorine. =D But it is still good ride afterall. The interior is not bad for a 13 yr old car, with nice upholstery and a strong solid air-con to boot. Haha.

Blogged 'nuff so here are some random thoughts of the day.


This caught my attention, hahaha, so true. =D
