⇒ Wedding

On Saturday 7th Nov, I went to Kelvin and Tanya's wedding (no I don't have any pictures yet).

Was a fun day all round and I hope they enjoyed their moment.
Congratulations, friends!

⇒ teh bowlingz

caught up with some old friends over teh bowlingz...

of note:

• the refurbished joint is quite nice


• the lane 'speed' is well, fast


• good serving size for chippies


• hi-speed machines mean in-out bizness...don't be rushing my bowlingz!


• i won both games...and how! whipped my mates by 17 in the first and 40 points in the second game. I'm not claiming to be a good bowler, but the were just craptacular today so my mediocre skills still thrashed them.

also found time for quick gymming late in the afternoon. Stayed on the treadmill for 13'. Too ashamed to remember total anythings for that...definetly need a layoff, just so the shins can recover somewhat. Did manage to bench 8x60, which is good, for me.

visits since 21st sept '08: 13

⇒ consistency and progress

Let the record reflect that Andrew defeated Willie in Poker and took money off him (amongst others) totalling $80. Go Andrew.

Went to MCA, not too bad...some interesting pieces but overall I thought her critique of consumerism was nothing special. Some of the methods/individual sections were interesting though.

Made it to the gym after. Ran better than other days overall (20' session) but my legs hurt before starting to run so I see it as good progress. The first section I ran 800m, then walked abit, then did the second section almost as good as the first. Totalled 2km in 13' (and walked the remaining 7'). That I figure is about as good as I've ever run. I felt pretty comfortable running the first section too. Factors possibly affecting perf:low hydration before, alcohol in body, ongoing sore legs, cold but sunny weather.

Rode the bike for 20' on level 8. Total cardio-KCALs: ~250.

Anyhoo, tried something new with the weights:
8 x 55kg bench, followed by
8 x 50kg bench, followed by
12 x 40kg bench.
later 20 x 40kg bench.
that totals: 2120kg

Didn't swim because the weather is cold. It looks sunny but it's cold. Risk to health, etc...I think I'll switch my exercise plan a bit: 2 bike sessions (2x20', level 10 and level 8), high reps of weights (main focus to areas other than chest), and try to go earlier in the day, say 10am.

⇒ louie's bbq

was gonna go to MCA exhibit and gym today but Louie pulled a flash-bbq. Anyhoo, with short notice, I found out he's going overseas again. Also comes from one of the nicest families I've ever met. Now he'll be working in France for Interpol, CSI-style. Yeah, pretty cool. All the best, mate.

Later in the day I bumped into Jen and Zhen. Good people. Very likeable. Still good people and still very likeable. Cheers, mates.

Yes, i just learned how to play Balderdash and it is fun. That was Alex's answer to 'Goofang' which is actually a mythical fish (?).

Also went to Squash, Yumcha, Mickey D's and dinner yesterday. All good. Felt quite under the weather but still all good.

⇒ 28!

chilled with Louie yesterday...saw 28 weeks later...it was pretty good. Plenty of good scenes or new things done that haven't been done in zombie-type movies before.

overall i enjoyed it-great tension and thrills but the cinematographer went too far and pissed me off with his epileptic hazard lights and 'frenzy' camera work. Overall: 8/10. Thorough enjoyment...
