Nike Human Race 10k -Videos



Nike Human Race 10k - Walk Jog Run


The reason as to why i named my post as "walk jog run" is simply because, this 10k turns out not to be purely running, but squeezing and walking, stopping, jogging when you get a chance, and running when there is some space in front of you. :( 10000 participants, but the path was too narrow to accomodate the crowd.


Therefore, most people ended up walking instead. and my timing for this 10k run was 2 times that of my Safra Bay Run!!!

Nevertheless, I initially already came with a mind prepared to run for fun la... Armed with a camera for the race, i snapped photos along the route, and of cos videos as well! Enough of rants, enjoy the photos!!


A Sea of Red--- like Ang Pow

Most of the runners are so young, unlike AHM

more ang pows...

Starting point at Esplanade Bridge

How to get to the front of the starting point? omg...

Looks like its going to rain...

Halloween August 31st?

Videos coming up! =)

Training August 30 @ Khatib, ended with a yummy protein shake

I stayed for a freaking 4 hours at the gym today... this is bad this is bad... waste of time and waste of effort because of catabolism... but i drank my Strawberry Protein shake in between to slow down the catabolism process la... i hope.

Reached there at 830am, I was early by 30min, CH was late by an hour, so in the end i trained for 1.30 hrs before he arrived -_- But glad that Bernard the fitness instructor with a 20" biceps (approx) spotted me for all my presses. =)

Chest: Incline, Flat bench presses + Declined dumbell presses + Flyes + Dips
Biceps: Olympic bar curl + undergraft pullups + Ez curl + alternate dumbell curl + machine curl
Triceps: Triceps extension with Ezbar and dumbell + Dips + Cable pull down and across

The remaining time i actually slow down my training and spent more time talking than training. lol. After that, went for lunch @ Charcos with DR ( got picture! and i will post up soon), and chomp down a whopping 1000Kcal meal i think... Half a roasted Chicken (big one) + seafood salad + Egg Salad + Tuna Salad! Nice but soooo full... and their salad is freaking big big biggggggggggg portion...

Back home... My post-workout nutrition! DIY


Add in Ice, Peanut Butter, Cottage Cheese and Dymatize Mocha Coffee Protein Shake

Blend it... thoroughly...

Served Chilled!

Taste like Ice Mocha from coffee bean- High in Protein and high in shiok factor!

Nostalgic Food of the not so far past

These are some of the snacks that I had when i was still a kid, so if you are born around the same year as me, you should be able to recall some of these as well. Some of the pictures were koped from my friend's blog, but many were added on by me!

Hiro chocolate cake - nice thick chocolate layer covering a spongy cake inside.


Bee Bee Snacks - still can be found in NTUC, and last time a packet cost around 1ocents only!

KAKA! - Everyone kid's favourite! Inside every packet, comes along with a small plastic toy, and there's corn snacks inside.

Chocolate Wafer - I remember that the chocolate layer is those very oily kind, but as a child, you just eat it...

Calbee prawn crackers - definitly taste better than KAKA
Ding Dang Chocolate cover biscuits - This was my favorite when i was a kid, cos the packaging so cute ma... lol. But think of it now, i think it taste quite bad.

Hacks candy - I thought this is cough drops that taste very minty one, but how come my primary school teacher give to all of us last time? lol

Hacks candy - This one is grape flavour.


Kickapoo - This is made in Singapore fyi! I wonder who camp up with this name... it sounds like Kick - a - Poo - joy juice... oh crap.

Mamee! The more instant version of the instant Maggi mee! Need no cooking! I still like it until today... i think must be the MSG that makes it taste so nice...

And who still remember Mr Kiasu Burger? There was a craze over Mr kiasu that time, there were comics and sitcoms on Mr kiasu, and even Macdonalds came up with this burger! If Breadtalk was there back then, im sure they will come up with a kiasu pan!
And to satisfy that chocolate craving, sometimes after school the school kids will go to the "mama" shop to buy small packets of nutella to eat it... yes...just eat it as it is!
Retro packaging of Pepsi. you go to the kopitiam, and the pepsi comes in a glass bottle where you have to drink with a straw...


Ring Pop... This was available in the later years of my childhood, i never tried it before, and even as a kid, I dun like this idea.

Satay Sticks - A stick cost around 10cents - This is not exactly satay, but fish meat mixed with flour, then coated with some gluey thingy that is in fact quite yummy.

Tora! Something like the Ding Dang Candy, and is also have a toy inside.


White Rabbit Candy - This is just milk candy, very chewy and milky, and it is wrapped around with rice paper. im sure everyone remembers this!




And what else did i missed out?!??!
Now can you guess which year i was born?
