The beauty of Multi-Sport Races.

May 29th, 2008 No Comments »

As part of a recovery ride today, I went to watch the sunset at Seletar Dam. Most unfortunately, the weather was not that great - rather cloudy, so I wasn’t able to get great snaps.

Actual Sunset
The actual sunset. Can’t see much thanks to the clouds.

Seletar Reservoir
That’s the Seletar Reservoir on one side of the Seletar Dam

Malaysia
And Malaysia on the other side. (in the far distance)

Great view along Seletar Dam huh?

And here’s a truly inspirational video of Team Hyot, the father and son team who competes in Ironman races every year. After watching the video, you would feel like you are able to accomplish anything.


Till next time,
cheers

I ♥ Cycling.

May 28th, 2008 No Comments »

I really really love cycling. Ask me to choose between abstinence from sex for life and giving up cycling and it would probably be a hard choice. Nothing beats the feeling of speeding down roads, cranking your gears with high cadence, silence all around you except for the hum of your wheels and the occasional passing vehicle. Pure Bliss.

Love it. Absolutely love it.

It’s the little things

May 24th, 2008 No Comments »

I have just witnessed the most magnificent sunset in my entire life today. I was on my bike, and had just U-turned at the end of the Seletar Dam, one beautiful long stretch of road with an unblocked view of the sea facing Malaysia on one side and the Seletar Reservoir on the other. There I was, tucked in aero position, enjoying the beautiful sunset over the sea while spinning hard on the pedals on the last 4KM stretch home.

It’s the little things that make up the beauty of multi-sports races. (too bad I did not have any chance to take pictures) Such a view makes me want to wake up at 0630 tomorrow on a lazy Sunday morning just to enjoy a beautiful sunrise.

Till next time,
cheers

It’s holidays already?

May 24th, 2008 No Comments »

I have been so busy that I just realized that it’s the beginning of a month long mid-year school holidays already.

But there is little to celebrate about. A list of my to-dos during the holidays

  • Inspire Run 2008
  • Greenwave competition - due in Mid July
  • XSite Competition - Due on 22nd June
  • City Duathlon - 8th June 2008
  • Project Work (as part of my A Levels)
  • Study for Block Tests - which commence immediately after holidays end.

Everyone knows it’s not holidays, merely a time to catch up before being thrown into the frenzy of school again. Boo. :(

But one thing to look forward to: the iPhone 2.0 launch. And I am so going to get one. :)

Till next time,
cheers

Coming soon - ALS patch and Online store.

May 21st, 2008 Comments Off

Did the title get you excited? Then I am sorry to disappoint. The ALS patch will not be anything big scale, and only apply to the 2nd Preview Version of the Third Beta Series. Basically, it a newer version of the current English Language file. If you ever bothered to check your PHP Error Log, you might notice that it has gotten quite large, especially if many many visitors use the ALS everyday. This is because of the number of PHP Notices generated by poorly defined constants in the file, so basically, the update fixes that. In the long term, it may mean saving a few hundred MB of your space (depending on how often your error log is cleared). So look out for that.

I am also going to get an online store to facilitate the purchase of ALS source code. It’s starting to get troublesome to keep replying to emails with the same information every time someone wishes to purchase the source code from me. And it’s also a lot more convenient for the users too. I just need some time (which I hardly have) to find a suitable script and install it on my server. Will update you guys on this.

Viva La Vida
I love “Viva La Vida”,a new song by Coldplay, from their upcoming album,Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. First heard it on an Apple ad.

Till next time,
cheers
