Swimming:
The most stubborn record I’ve encountered so far is swimming 1500m in 1 hour which I set some time last year. One of the reasons why it took me so long to break the record is because of my laziness, hehe… I go swimming once in a blue moon during term period. Let travel back to the time when I entered into NUS ? I didn’t go swimming at all during my first semester in university, which was really unwise as university is meant to develop yourself and enjoy your would-be-memorable life ? Things seemed to be better when I went swimming around 4 times in the second semester. During this time, I started recording my swimming stats, and 1000m is the swimming distance I tried to maintain each time. So happy was I with that as I had some aim when indulging in the clear blue water, not just soak myself in the water, swimming aimlessly. There came the vacation when I backed to Vietnam, and of course, continue swimming and swimming. I was able to swim fairly well; however, most of the skills were developed on my own by following other people. I need to refine my skills to swim faster, and more importantly, I wished to swim the butterfly stroke besides free style and breast stroke. Yeah, I started being able to swim somehow like a butterfly :D (Does butterfly know how to swim :-?) I, then, backed to Singapore, but…oh well … my laziness soon came again…. I didn’t go swimming so often (I think only around 2 or 3 times), and sadly, I didn’t practice the butterfly stroke because I was shy. Yes, seriously, I was shy :D, because I don’t want people look at me making buckets of water splashing out of the pool, and wonder “what the hell this guy is doing”.

* 26 June 08: Look like I have sticked to jogging now :) no swimming, no teakwondo this time (wait until the semester starts :) ) Happy that I have jogged quite often lately. Well the fact that I'm not living on campus, no longer near the school stadium seems to be a main obstacle of my jogging. I'm no longer be able to run around the school football fiel around 11PM, when there's no light at all, just a big bright sky, an openning night space ^^ (missing it :( ). But alright, I run around my living in Clementi, figure out my own route ^^ (go through staircase, across carpark, upward slopes through the Clementi swimmingpool, ...) I often run 2 rounds (I count 1500 step each round :P), and then walk another 2 rounds, then stop at a common playground, do some hits-up. It takes around 30', I back home, prepare for night food, then take bath. Total time is exactly 1hr ^^
Jogging:(oh I couldn't update this in details anymore :^^( )
