One Litre of Tears (Lyrics of Only Human by K)

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni Hohoemi ga aru toiu yo
Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni Hohoemi ga aru to iu yo
Tadori tsuku sono saki ni wa Nani ga bokura wo matteru?
Nigeru tame ja naku yume ou tame ni Tabi ni deta hazusa tooi natsu no ano hi
Ashita sae mieta nara tame iki mo nai kedo Nagare ni sakarau fune no you ni
Ima wa mae he susume Kurushimi no tsukita basho ni
Shiawase ga matsu toiu yo Boku wa mada sagashite iru
Kisetsu hazure no himawari Kobushi nigirishime asahi wo mateba
Akai tsume ato ni namida kirari ochiru Kodoku ni mo nareta nara
Tsuki akari tayori niHane naki tsubasa de tobi tatou Motto mae he susume
Amagumo ga kireta nara Nureta michi kagayaku
Yami dake ga oshiete kureru Tsuyoi tsuyoi hikari
Tsuyoku mae he susume

Putting off some fats!

It has been more than a week since I last had my workout carried out. And during this period of time, I had been indulging myself in food (throughout the 5 days in Hong Kong). Hence, today I really felt that it is time to work out those muscles again; I put on my training attire, took the rope and headed towards the fitness corner.

When I was approaching the fitness corner, I saw Chian, KL and Chan YW. They were doing their warming up before their run. Chan, who ate the least during the HK trip, then said to me that he needs to put off some fats (which was gained during that 5 days). If he needs to do that, then what about me? I think I have ate double the amount of food he had ate while in HK....

Done the following exercises:
Skipping: 1 set/ 1000 reps
Shoulder raise: 4 set/ 25, 25, 20, 15 reps
Pull up: 4 set/ 10, 8, 8, 6 reps
Push up: 4 sets/ 25 reps
Triceps dip: 4 sets/ 20, 20, 20, 15 reps
Crunches: 3 sets/ 30, 40, 40 reps

Date: 12th Feb'09 (1750hrs to 1827hrs)
Venue: Fitness corner

Back from Hong Kong!

At 0430hrs on 5th Feb'09, together with Daveen, Chan YW and myself, we met at Daniel's place. Our flight was departing at 0640hrs and so we left at about 0500hrs for T1. Fortunately, Wang offered to send us to the airport.

Upon reaching the airport, we immediately check in our lugguage and headed towards the Burger King for breakfast. I was feeling rather sleepy as I only had about 5 hours of sleep the night before. Daniel looked like a zombie because he only slept for 2 hours. Chan looked fresh, but the fact was he had not even slept yet. Well, as for Daveen, he slept early and had sufficient of rest. Sigh... the duo sacrificed their sleep for playing cards!

Though Daniel and I had planned to take part in the Stand Chart run, we didn't go because even before we had reached the third day of our trip, our legs were already very tired and whole body were aching due to our continuous of walking and sightseeing...

Home Workout

Didn't feel like going out today, so I carried out my workout at home. Using the elastic band, power twister, ankle weight, and an exercise mat, I did the following:

Push Ups: 5 Sets/ 30 Reps

Biceps Curl: 4 Sets/ 40, 40, 30, 30 Reps (Elastic Band)

Power Twist (downwards): 4 Sets/ 20 Reps (Power Twister)

Sideway Shoulder raise: 4 Sets/ 20 Reps (Elastic Band)

Crunches: 4 Sets/ 30 Reps (Mat)

Leg Raise: 4 Sets/ 12, 15, 15, 12 Reps (Mat and ankle weight)

Squats: 4 Sets/ 30 Reps

The Hard Dance music I played during this workout helped a lot. The fast and strong beats made me forget about the tireness and kept me pushing and pushing!

Date: 2nd Feb'09 (1930hrs to 2030hrs)

Venue: My Living Room

(Keeping fit doesn't mean one must always be at the gym! I find it more enjoyable to have more variables than just sticking to doing the same thing over and over again!)
