Fly like a bird


A baby can crawl and a boy can walk. A man can sprint, run and jog. We have definitely conquered the land.

We can swim, maybe not so good at diving into the deep ocean. The pressure of the water compresses the air in our lungs. But we can move our body through H2O.

The only fronter to conqure is to fly. Yes, I know we can fly on a plane but really, we don't do the flying, it the plane (machine) that flies and we ust sit in it. But parachuting is like flying. Although many people believe that parachuting more like floating or descending at a constant rate. Well, to me, parachuting is flying. the only problem in parachuting is the landing.

Combat First Aid


After three weeks straight working without a break, I have finally completed the Combat First Aid course. I was so tired by the end of it. Got home today, slept, then went for a short run, 6km then sat in a warm bath for 1/2hr. The photo showed us practising extracting a pretend injured member from a motor vehicle accident. Now I'm quailified, I am able to cannulate and give certain drugs. Maybe this maybe useful when I'm really dehydrated from a long run.

Personal Best Time

Waking up this morning feeling a bit bloated from last night's massive all you can eat dinner, it was time for the fitness exam. My previous PB for 2.4km was 8:57. I ran my little heart out today cutting my time by 2 seconds. 8 minutes 55 seconds = 3 minuts 43 sec per km. The goal till end of this year is to get below 8 minutes 30 seconds. Can it be done? who knows only time will tell.

Love is......

As of 06 Feb 06, I'll be working 28 days straight. I was really tired after work on 06 Feb 06 and i had to pick up myself to go to bible study. I was not really in the mood. And since it was the first bible study of the year, I thought I should at least look happy and excited. I was one of the bible study leaders. When i got to the location, i went into the toilet, there was a picture that had "love is kind, love is patient........" that really picked me up, since it was only the first day of 28 days straight working days.
