The power of 1 minute! 一分钟的力量！

30/06/15 :-

Never underestimate the power of 1 minute!
别忽视一分钟的力量！

1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.
Yes, we all know that.

Is it long or short?
In the past, I would have replied with short as my answer.

However, ever since I took up my current favorite sport, Dragonboat, I have a different understanding and meaning of 1 minute.
Coach Kim has given us a circuit exercise which I've diligently been doing for the past 2 weeks.

Front Planks - 1 minute
Rest - 1 minute

Left Planks - 1 minute
Rest - 1 minute

Right Planks  - 1 minute
Rest - 1 minute

Squats - 1 minute
Rest - 1 minute

Pushups x 40
Rest - 1 minute

45degree / 15degree leg lifts (hold) - 1 minute
Rest - 1 minute

Mountain Climbers x 20
Burpees x 20
Rest - 1 minute

Repeat above 2 more times, meaning total of 3 sets.

If you aren't the very fit type, that 1 minute could leave you out of breathe.
And that 1 minute of rest would be so precious to you!

We are currently training for our next race on 4th July 2015.
Our aim is around 1 minute or lesser.
That 1 minute for 200 metre of rowing definitely means a lot.

Ever since I took up this sport, I have gained a lot of insights.
Glad that I'm able to train with my current great team and be stronger than I was before.

In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND! 在一個你甚麼都可以成為的世界裡，選擇善良！

21/05/19 :- In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND! 在一個你甚麼都可以成為的世界裡，選擇善良！ Guys may have strong ego, but we have feelings too. Not all guys are wolves, who are only after your bodies. When we give you our hearts, please treat them with care. You may not want to be the owners, but do not go around breaking them. Many have came to show their care and concern, I'm truly grateful and appreciate your kind words. I am sorry, I couldn't share much on the details. I can only say, I am not ok, but don't worry, I would be fine as time goes by. Whatever that has happened, was just a case of a silly guy misinterpreting all the wrong signals sent. Falling in too fast and too deep. The girl was playing with fire and when she realized the fire was near, the most logical thing to do was to let go and not get her fingers burnt. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, except the guy is left to pick up the broken pieces of his fragile heart which he has given out too so...

Make yourself HAPPY - Mind Your Own Business!

I'm glad to have an off in lieu today. With that, I can spend some time with myself & think of things I should and shouldn't be. What have I been doing? Well, nothing much exactly. Basically nua-ing (lazing around) at home, enjoying the weekday off. Ever since I took over the AP position at work, I don't really have much time to myself. Even though I still switch on the radio & tuning into FM 93.3 at work, most of the contents didn't get into my mind as much as they used to. My mind is too occupied with whatever I have to do & still "watch over" someone else's work; how to absorb what the DJs were sharing on air then? Nah, today's blog entry is not about an irritating pest; just let my OIL continue in peace & happiness b4 I get back to work & be a part time pest buster! Sitting at my home dining table & enjoying my tea at 3.50pm, I heard a meaningful story shared by 1 of my fave DJs, Siau Jiahui on FM 93.3. She has ...

誰為陽光充電？Who recharges the sun?

  在這個世界上，很多事我們習以為常。但如果仔細思考，這些標準到底是誰定下的？ 結束一段感情後，釋懷需要多長時間？面對所愛的離世，消沉多久才算合理？對一個人的思念，應該持續到什麼時候才停止？男孩不能哭、男人要堅強 —— 這些說法真的是對的嗎？傷心的時間真的只跟一段感情的長短有關嗎？ 在這裡，我想對所有我曾經說過 “ 時間會沖淡一切 ” 的人道歉。因為我現在明白，時間並不能沖淡任何事，所有經歷都會在生命裡留下痕跡，它們不會消失。 寫下這篇公開的心情日記，我的目的很簡單 —— 給自己一個宣洩的空間，同時也讓關心我的家人朋友了解我沒說出口的感受。也許你會覺得有些娛樂性，或許有經歷過相似事情的人能找到共鳴與安慰，知道自己不是孤單的。最重要的是，我希望我的天使 —— 那位在天堂的她，能收到我的思念。 2024 年 6 月 8 日，我這一生中最愛的女人，我的初戀，永遠地離開了這個世界。當噩耗傳來，我無法相信這是現實。我知道自己無法一個人面對，所以找了多年的好哥們陪我一起去參加悼念。兄弟，謝謝你臨時改變計劃，推遲了與家人的晚餐，陪著我送她最後一程。 接下來的幾天，我風雨無阻地在下班後趕往悼念現場，只為陪她走完人生最後的路。出殯那天，天空下著傾盆大雨，但這雨怎麼也洗不掉我心中的悲傷。看著棺木被推進火化爐，所有人都崩潰了。 家人和朋友給予了我很多慰問，不時關心我的情況，並說著安慰的話。有人說， “ 時間會沖淡一切。 ” 還有人說， “ 不要難過太久，她不希望看到你這樣，有事隨時找我們。 ” 我知道這些話語都是出於善意，但當下真的很刺耳。我沒力氣去反駁，但我依然感激他們的關心和鼓勵。 這 114 天裡，我過得不好，一點都不好。最難受的是，那種想哭卻哭不出來的悲傷。我依然喜歡工作，見到孩子們我也會感到快樂。和家人、朋友聚會，我也真心享受大家的陪伴。但我更喜歡獨處，因為那時候我可以卸下所有防備，讓自己徹底沉浸在悲傷裡。 自從與初戀結束後，我交過兩位女友，也喜歡過幾位女生。但面對初戀的離世，我終於明白了： “ 這一生，除了你，我的心再也容不下其他人。因為你是我最愛的女人，你讓我經歷了愛情裡的所有喜怒哀樂。這一生，遇見你，愛上你，失去你，悼念你，便已無憾。接下來的日子，我只想用餘生去想念你，愛自己，替你你看無數的白雲纏繞著藍天，直到我們重逢的那一天。 ” 失去你是什麼感覺？我反覆問自己...
