My First NUS Biathlon 2019

Who so wayang would want to join a Biathlon. Biathlon is just a combination of some different sport.
NUS Biathlon is Swim and Run.
I got the opportunity to got a free entry to this NUS Biathlon in the Novice category. It a 400m Swim plus a 2.5km of Run.
I got this on Wednesday when my Girlfriend ask me say got a free entry to this race. Since I never play this kind of race before, and it free. I say ok. And the Race is on Saturday. I think if for anyone will think you need to prepare for it. But for me it just a race, same like any half, full or Ultra run.
To think a race is just a race than you will not get worried or anxiety about it. Just treat it as something you do it so often than you don't really give a dam about it.
So I got email say my Wave is number 8 and need to be at NUS sport Center at 9.30 am for register. I never been to NUS so I get there early to look for motorbike parking.
Enter the Sport Center can see so many young people. So they did email a pdf booklet on what to do.
1, Register and get your bibs
2, Place you bag in the baggage
( Do take out the stuff you need to put at the transition area)
3, Go the Body Marking
4, Go Safety briefing
5, Flagoff the Swim
6, Go transit prepare your Run
7, Run and don't forget take a rubber band
8, Finish and take your timing chip
9, Give your rubbish band and timing chip to the volunteer to record.
10, Finish you can do whatever you want.

At the Race what I learn. I think for this kind of race, swimming will be the one many runners will get worried. Cause runners run often but not many swim often. Even it a race in the swimming pool it also very tough for some runners. My swim is 400m mean I need to swim 8 time of the 50m pool. So it flag off and I take my time relax relax slowly use my breaststroke. I can see many swim very fast get a head of me cause all swim freestyle. But who care. Just relax let the volunteer wait and sun tan there. The volunteer will place a colour water bottle into the pool to let me know I got last two laps. No doubt I am the last to come up. But at least I come up. The swim even I relax, after few laps my throat very thirsty. And I feel like spitting. The pool also make me want to pee. Don't worry I never pee in the pool. So I come up and go the transit area I wear my sock and shoe. Clip my waist pouch that my handphone inside. But when I wear my singlet it stuck halfway. Might be because it too tight and I am wet. But never care so I was like wear a bra take a cup of H2O drink it and start to run. At the run I slowly adjust my singlet to roll down if not many will think I am a female runner with beard.
The Run is not easy. Many slopes. As I run I can see many who are Infront me started to walk. So I overtake one by one. Not sure what pace I run but I never stop. Than took a cup of water and the rubber band. Rush back to the finishing line. Even though I don't know the route, the volunteers there are very helpful. You will not get lost.
At the finishing I get my timing chip and give it to the volunteer. The volunteer say after a week than will know the timing. So I take my 100plus and walk walk see see that weflie.

I think this Biathlon most tough is the swimming bah. Cause human is more confident on the ground. In the water like a no man kand that anytime you will just sink in the water. Those who swim in open water, I mean the sea really need to train for that. Swimming is no joke. 

Why I run 5km everyday?

My Running Spark Joy in Life

Why I run 5km everyday?

I been slacking and getting fat this year. Even Siu's mom also say I fat. So I committed to go back my old school training. The daily 5km run. 

In the past is daily 10km run, but 10km will take about an hour so I don't have that kind of spare time. 5km is just nice. 30 min finish it and can do my other stuff. (sorry I do't have time to go group run. Old already no time to wait for others)
Running a 5km in the morning or in the night will get different effects. 

In the morning, after you run. You feel energetic and alive. After all the washing up and ready to go work to fight for your future that you might not have one. But once it reach lunch time. You will feel very very tired and sleepy. All the dumb energetic energy battery gone flat. So sleepy till you wish you already dead.

As for running in the night. It more cooling and less zombie running. You may think ghost will appear but please I been alive for so long. Ghost fart also never smell before. You think too much.
Running in the night is great, cause after run and wash up. Your energy level still high. Even you will feel tiredness cause it time to sleep but in the sleep the heat is still burning in your body. That why we feel hot even after a cool bath. I need to turn on the fans to cool myself. In your sleep it still burning your calorie. But do not eat before you go to sleep. This will make you fat again. But when you wake up in the morning will feel very very thirsty. 

When you run. Do be aware of your running pose. The swing of your arms. Think if I butt kick higher will I go faster. Think if I swing my arms this way will I go faster. Think to use cadence or strike length. Think if I run this way can I sustain it to 5km more. Think If I breath like that more efficient. Think my friend Think. Don't just simply run like a fool. You yourself know your body well not me. If I train you. You be like a dog. Cause I can torture you whatever I want. It is not my body. I don't give a shit.

The benefits of run 5km daily is
1, 5km is just balance distance to keep fit
2, It only take you - fast 25min slow an hour.
3, You burn more calories cause you run daily
4, You don't have excuses not to run cause it a daily habits
5, Short and sharp finish it fast and go back do other things
6, Cause I say so. If you disagree I don't care.
7, Don't need preparation just wear you attire and run.
8, Run daily will correct your running pose
9, You will shit better. The Durian will come out easily.

Over all most important is to make it a habit. Once it a habit. You can change how to run this 5km.

For example

Monday - 5km speedwork
Tuesday - 5km Tempo
Wednesday - 5km easy run
Thursday - 5km negative split
Friday - 5km cadence run
Saturday - 5km Park Run
Sunday - 5km Walk and Run

5km you can train many many style. No need Dumb Dumb just only run one pattern. Anyway running 5km will not promise you will be slim. but got exercise better than sitting at home wait to die.

The best is everyday you run. You in your own world. Listen to your mp3 song. Enjoy every moment you are alive. It can relieve stress and also get endorphins high. No need to buy drug so Dumb.

This is my thoughts of running 5km daily. If you disagree you think I care. I don't. Every runners got their own opinion. You can have yours but don't put your opinion in my blog. You so clever you go write your own blog. 

The last thing I going to say is don't get injure. Be Brave Be Wayang be a Dumb ass who run 5km daily.

This is a Wayang blog, if you believe in the things I say here. Please go see a doctor. Your brain need help. You think I want to run 5km daily forever meh. You must be crazy.

Have You Did Your Best?

Wayang Qoute

One Hair Long Sure Got Other Hair Longer!!

I was lucky to have the opportunity to run for Westin. Even I always got free bib but this time is different. Since This race is to represent Westin so to not play play. I decided to run seriously. When I run serious you all better watch out, Satan Kim is coming to town.

I try to register for Pen B but the web site ask for proof. I dun have cause I always run with free bib. So I put Pen C. But too bad SCSM put me to the last second Pen when I collect my bib. The Pen F. Mean you are Fxxk. 

That a 45 min late to start Pen. And it a great challenge. Since there will be many Zombie Runners walking I would need to do many zig zag running the 凌波微步 to over take one by one. 这是一个上上层的武功.
I give myself a goal to complete 21km in 2hrs time. So that next year I got proof.  But in the end I did a 2hr 03min official time. Another 03min more.
Because of this 3min I need to refresh myself what have I did wrong. Have I stop too much from wetting myself to cool my body or is it the cramp that slow me down.
Many will think not need to be so serious, but for SCSM it a serious race to me. I ever said. If you never run a Stand-chart. You are not a runner.

All runners are competitive. To me.
One mountain sure got another mountain higher, one banana sure got another banana longer.
The real question is that have you really try your best?
We always give ourselves excuses to sign for a race and we also give excuses give up a race sometimes. When race day come all the anxiety rise. here pain there not feeling well.
and many times when I am in a race I would ask myself. Do I want to really run this? Really go all out? or just relax relax and look back and say I should have try to run this.
It not about podium or not, cause to podium is the Kenyan jobs. They run to make a living. 
As for runner like us. we run is to satisfied our-self, to have a sense of achievement that I have really earn that medal. (but I also ask other to give me their medals)

Now I seldom sign up for race partly because I am broke and second is because not every race I will my best. You can't every race also join. it is bad for you. The more race you sign the more you will not try your best. cause it is too much.
And the race that I never put effort is always the race I felt bad.
Yes you can enjoy running by walking or taking many photo to show that you are there. But to me running a race is a race. I see running as a race. To compete, even may not be the fastest. But it the effort that you need to make. The challenge against yourself. The target you want to meet. The goal you wish to succeed.
Next time when you complete a race, do ask yourself. Have you did your best? Have you?

But if a free bib not my name, than I anyhow run. No point put effort to get myself injure.
I dunno what the hell I am writing. Seating in the toilet. Do my first shit after SCSM run. Anyway. I think that race I only put 90% effort cause 10% in my heart I scare cramp too early. Last time I always congrats all my running friends in Facebook. But now too many so I just Congrats here.
Congrats all Runners who attend #SCSM2018 it is a good race.
Got free bib don't forget to find me.

I don't review races. If you want a long air blog that review  #SCSM2018.

Be Brave Be Wayang. Be Your Best When the time come.

I feel weak ?

Wayang Saying

为什么坚持？想一想当初

As a human, sometime we will feel lazy.
When I completed all my running goal. I start to get lazy.
As a runner if one day never run still ok. If three days never run still can get over it. But after a week. You feel empty. After a month, you start to feel weak. You will always feel sleepy. 

My running goals have completed so now become nua.
When you become nua, you will feel lost. You may even feel useless. Human really are funny. When got time to run, we give ourselves excuses not to. When no time to run, we will keep thinking of running.
Long time never run you feel weak is true. The weak, low confident, anxiety, stress, can't sleep, feel that others runner see you differently. It like long time never shit your body will feel uncomfortable.you feel people can smell something.

But once you got the chance to have a run. You feel alive. You feel like superman have suck his power from the Sun and regain his power. That why he always no energy than need to fly high high. 

I still feel no strength and moody sometimes in running. It should be lack of challenge. Should I go back to fight the 20 min 5k goals. I now fastest pace is only 5.30. 20 Min 5k goal will need to train like mad dog. And there is no reason to train like that. Overall it just a timing. Even once I can reach it. I will start to nua again. I got better things to do. 

Now running is just to keep fit only. Not about health cause healthy and fit are two different things.
You may look fit muscular and strong, but no matter how fit and muscular you are. You still will lose to diarrhea. Even the strongest Man in the world will surrender to the toilet bowl.
After all we are just flesh and blood. Feeling weak is just a process every runners will go through. Once all the diarrhea gone and ready to zip up your pant. The road will always be there. It just the matter of you willing to take the time to run or not. Honestly now I no time. Nua is my friend now. Hello Nua , hello.......

Just anyhow write after all, this is a Wayang blog. It mean fake. 

be Brave, Be Wayang  


 

Craze Ultra Volunteers?

Wayang Saying
Don't have so big head, don't wear so big hat. but if you never wear how you know your head is big?

Craze Ultra, a race where all sort of ultra man and woman from all sort of life come together. Just to test their limits.
To complete a 45km, 63km, 101km and a 100 miles is not easy if you are not super human. 

I did a 101km last few years and suffer like hell. I cannot run so far still yaya(mean proud) want to run. Don't know want to proof what. So I boh ji(mean no balls) now and become a volunteer of Craze Ultra.
Been volunteering for Craze Ultra for two times already. Plus this the third time. Don't know if the 10th times got any long service award or not? 

Sometime if you can't run so far but wanted to still in the running community. You can just Be a volunteer.
Being a Ultra race volunteer is fun. You give the participants running the support they need. Sometimes if the runner you know can just tease them.

As a volunteer, you also can meet old running friend and even make new one.
For volunteering it also got free t shirt for you. So save money no need buy t shirt.
Siu and me are volunteering at check point 5. It at Sun Plaza park(sound like a shopping center). If you don't know where. Just go sign up and run and you will know.

To be a volunteer in Craze Ultra very simple.

1, You need to be very Free. Mean you really nothing to do. Cause it can occupy your whole day. So it mean it a one day event that is free for you.

2, You need to know to cut water melon without a knife. Cause you may not find a knife in the supply. So do bring your own knife.

3, You need to smile and look happy all the time. Cause the runner may not want to see sad faces when they are suffering but still enjoying the Ultra run

5, You need to endure the mosquito. Some checkpoint really many mosquitoes.

6, You need to scan the runners check in timing correctly. Make sure it confirmed in the system. Cause timing is really important to the runners.

7, You need to don't think too much if you are volunteering alone, and in the night. If you saw a ghost please use your smartphone video it. You can get many views in YouTube.

8, You need to entertain the runners a bit. Cause running a ultra is tough. Try make them laugh so they don't feel so stress.

9, Really to be a volunteer no need what I written on top. Just go and have fun.

Rumors say that this year Craze Ultra will be the last (but every-year they always say last). It might be not enough participants, Sponsors, manpower or not enough volunteers.
So if you really don't want to see Craze Ultra gone. Next year do sign up or do volunteer work.
Even you are not a runner. But being a volunteer and you are witnessing the normal human stretch their limits to complete the race. You may get inspired by them and who know. Maybe you run a Ultra too.

I believe anyone also can run or walk, the question is how far?

So be Brave, Be Wayang, Be a volunteer or simply be a inspirational Ultra Runner.

wayang blogging is all rubbish, so don't need to be so serious about wording.

What I learn in Cambodia Siem Reap?

I hate to travel!!!

Wayang travel Blog.

Everytime I visit a country, I will observe.

I got the opportunity to visit this country. Cambodia Siem Reap. I got no idea what this country got and never Google about it. I only know it is famous of the temple and land mine. I very bad in memorize name, so don't ask me where is that place that I go. 

1, The airport is very small and not much custom check like other country. Once we reach the airport. Chop the passport and just walk out like that. 

2, In Cambodia they use Tuk tuk bike as a form of transportation for tourists. Tutu bike is a horse carriage but pull by a motorbike. 

3, At Pub Street  their beer is very very cheap. Beer is $0.50 USD but coke is $1.50 .

4, The USD you use for paying must follow their rules. I ask the guide of Triple A Adventure Cambodia Rang, he say cause the local will need to change the USD back to Khmer dollar. 

5, If you visit in weekdays, you might be the only guest in the whole hotel.

6, Tips is not compulsory but a few dollars  will make their days. Giving tips like giving Ang pow in Chinese New year. You see who serve you better, you give more. Mostly we only give USD$1. We give the most tips to the Guide name Rang, hope he use it to pay his fees to learn more Chinese. Their average salary is only USD$100 per month, so giving $1 tips to them will help them a lot.

7, Many of them understand simple English. But now they need to learn more Chinese. 

8, From what I see, many Ang Mo love this country. You can see many many, the second is Chinese.

9, Mostly the restaurant, hotel and cafe got WiFi, the rest of the place you need to find .

10, The Vehicles here all go very slow cause of the road conditions, so to go from one place to another may take some times. I mean a very long time.

11, Cambodia is 95% land mines clear, but not advisable to do hike or trek by yourself cause even you got guide, the guide also don't know where is the 5% land mines.

12, The Quad bike advantage is the longest ATV I ever ride. The guide bring you to their country side where you can see sunset and paddy fields. And also many many cows and buffaloes.

13, Every activities we book, sure got free tuk tuk bike come and pick us up and bring us back. We never spend money on Tuk Tuk at all in all the days in Cambodia.

14, In Siem Reap, it not only see temples. If you are not a temple person like me. There is many others activities to play.You can try Triple A adventure Cambodia

15, In Siem Reap do try the street food. It cheap, mostly a plate of rice is only USD$1.50 . If go restaurant will be USD$5.

16, If you go for Angkor Zipline, be prepared it may not end at the time stated. So if you need to fly back to Singapore or check out of hotel. Do let them know early so they can arrange. 

We stay at The Moon Residence and SPA. Siu decided to book this hotel cause others is fully book. The name of the hotel don't sound like a hotel but it a good stay. No noise and sound from the busy traffic.
Very near to Pub Street in walking distance. The staff here know simple English and treat you like King. Next time you want to visit Siem Reap do check this hotel out. Tell them you know Kim C and you can stay for free in you dream.

Overall Siem Reap Cambodia is a great place to visit, all the people there are very friendly and helpful.  Maybe cause many are from the villages. Come with a pure and simple heart to treat us tourist like a family. Even their life is not as stressful as Singapore. But can see their country is catching up. So it time to visit this country before a $0.50 beer become $5.

Lewin Terrace Japanese French Fusion Restaurant and Suntec

Wayang Quote

天下没有白吃的午餐

Got this opportunity to dine in the fine classy restaurant. The Lewin Terrace located at 21 lewin terrace fort cunning park.
You all know I ride a motorcycle so when I reach I still wonder where I should park. But the valet saw me and ask me to park inside free. I almost cry, this save me 65 cents.

After parking Siu and me follow the sign and walk up. The route to the restaurant is very romantic. We took some photo before heading to lunch. 

In the restaurant, a female Japanese looking serve us and walk us in. This old bungalow building really very high class. With fine music and the atmosphere is very calm and quiet.
After seated the waiter place a big nepkin on our legs. Also here come the menu. The waitress explain the 2 course 3 course lunch on how to choose. So we continue our order. Even dou the menu is all wording but we anyhow choose like buying 4D. If the food is good, whatever you choose also will be good. 

Siu order the soup of the day, portabelle mushroom and we both choose the desserts buffet. For me I order Cured Salmon with pickle vegetables and Grilled Pork loin.  We also ask for cold water.

In a mintue after order the serving is very fast. The waitress first do the cutlery setting than the bread and butter was served immediately.  At first I thought the butter was a white chocolate but no it a butter. The bread was fresh and hot so once the butter was spread into the bread it melt into it. The first bite of the bread, my tears drop. I was touched. The taste felt like home.

Follow by the starter, the soup of the day and my cured salmon was served. I took a fork and scoop the small pieces of salmon mixed and put in my mouth. OMG OMG OMG. It like heaven. I give some to Siu and faster eat all up so Siu when ask to have some more I already finish. Than I see Siu eat so slow. I volunteer ask to eat her soup of the day. It a corn soup. But it taste like cereal. 

Here come our main dish. Mine is Grilled Pork loin and Siu is Portabelle Mushroom.
Suddenly the Japanese Chef stand beside me and pour the sauce. He also intro his cooking. With the look of it I am sure this grilled pork will not be disappointed. So I faster faster took the knife and fork cut a piece and OMG OMG OMG. In my entire life I never eat a pork that taste like beef. It so juicy and tender. Make me want to scold vulgar language cause it so good I lost my words. In my mind it keep saying WTF WTF how he cook like that? Again I give a piece to Siu and faster I faster eat all. But really it very very good. I seldom finish a full piece of pork chop if I order outside. But this pork is different. A pork that disguise as a beef. Who can think of that. Only a genius chef.
As for the Portabelle Mushroom I do taste a small piece. That I taste not enough so can't say much. 

And now come to the Matcha desserts buffet. The display was classy and we are the first who order it I think. So I took a few different choices and relax with a cup of cuppocino coffee. It all got their own unique taste and we seat there and enjoy slowly like two girly who having a high tea.

Thank to the facebook lucky contest win a $100 voucher so that we can have this wondetful meal. Even though Siu need to top up 30 dollar but it worth it. I don't think i will ever come again so let pray I kanna toto.

But after that we want for a movie at Suntec all motorbike parking is full and the B2 gantry is close so cannot go B2 so we cycle around till we saw a girl park in a open space and we just park behind her and went for the movie.  After movie wanted to go home and saw my bike kanna wheel cramp. There a note there so I call and the security came say to unlock must pay $107. I think no point just pay and go. I am not angry at all. I know today I off guard. And spend time with Siu is more important than the payment. It just a lesson learn. Tell me never to go Suntec again. If go must find a parking lot than can come down. Dont ask me why I anyhow park. If you see where I park you will say it a scam cause to me a wheelcramp for $107 is too much. I kanna parking fine before the most is $80.

So now it break even. There no free lunch in this world. $100 voucher become $107 wheelcramp payment.
For all bikers beware of parking in Suntec. I ask the security he say today got 5 kanna. Mean they make 500 plus today. No wonder so good give motorbike free go in. Just to set a trap for them. Cunning parking management.  The lunch so good till I want to say vulgar words, now for wheel cramp I can really shout out KNN KNN KNN.

If you like to warn all bikers, please share my blog.
