2 balls in Singapore I just played


Bowling:
2 people in the ally. That's how quiet the place would be in Singapore. You can say that is a weekday and people are much busy in going home to watch their famous TV or still hanging on the 'spidy fever'... The game, does provide a place for a express the instinct of
destruction.... Blow the pin off into pieces... It also remind me the time I played Wii back in friend's house in HKG...

Golf:notice for closing and vending machine above ^

A poor status of maintenance because the range is closing down on 4th June.. Quite ironic to the remebrance of the movement back in PRC..

Volkswagen Golf Centre
This is the first time I used my clubs in Singapore after receiving from my Dad, who is a great golf fans... I tried to use everything once as make sure they are not useless in this room to rust. S$20 for 4 buckets of ball (approximate 70 per bucket ba?) that could spend total of 2 hours in there. I spent half of it as my skin start to pile-off from my palm due to holding too tight on the grab... :~( Alas, I got myself sweated and started picking up the P club again, that's serve the visit of the range.

What would the land being used? I am not sure... I will surely use my remaining credit for the last visit before it close down. The question remains, where is the next nearest driving range that I can fool around?! :p

The very 1st thing I did in Sydney...


... I went off the plane... to ride another plane up to 14 k feet and jumped!

Ya, the feeling was scary as you are being pushed out of the plane and fall into a space.... without any border..

Felt the gravity, quite strong..! There is no time to fear at all but heaven and earth keep turning around in the first seconds. Is a tandem dive which means there is an instructor attached to you to make you safe. Well, you don't feel his weight at all as you are in mid-air.

Quite a while, you dunno what to do but being asked to flip your hand, doing things silly such as screaming, yielding, make fun with faces with 220km/h air blowing directly on your face when you looked down... It is very fast and you wonder when you open your parachute.

It is quite different from bungy jump (though I never done it) as I could imagine because it takes longer time to fall. You really need to take time for the acceleration to reach to a optimum point whereas you won't have enough time for a short height in bungy jump at all (correct me and share your bungy jump experience! :P)

No more fun after parachute opened?! Not really, indeed once the parachute launched, the feeling of being pulled up would felt like taking a fun ride in one of those crazy machines in the amusement park.. (zero weight/gravity). It was really a thrill and I really screamed out..! More experience in that kind of 'lift' when you switch direction which the instructor did it easily by pulling the sling. I got a feel when the instructor handed me the sling which I pulled on left, it turned left, pulled right it turned right and all together got lifted up as a swing..!

The landing was smooth and both of us landed on foot without knee down or sit on the grass...

The experience was one of the life time for sure. People can learn and dive by themselves once they got license by joining class. I don't think I will 'deep-in' the activity as in scuba diving. It is not relax enough for me to enjoy..! :P

The amazing race


I was an hour earlier to be there and shooting all these scenes. The weather wasn't too bad, not hot and cloudy without direct sunlight. I was too atmosphere...









The sun wasn't rise until 6:45, therefore the runners for Full-marathon started without seeing sunlight..


I was not one of those as 10k is my physical limit at this moment.

So I was stayed with the sign, and waited for another hour...

But finally, I realised one of the biggesdt enemy in electronic photo-shooting... battery..!
Ended up I couldn't take any photo during or after the race....
The marathon photo site hasn't update any new photo in this race yet. So, no luck to see how my face went in the finishing line..

The track was easier than HKG as it is so flat (only a bit fly-over and underpass), but my time was slower (within 56 min on my watch) than the one I did 2 years ago, possible due to lack of training and aging . ^_-
Feel good indeed as I enjoyed the process and making fun with the drinking cup I jogged pass.

Will I do it again? Possible in another route with different organisations... 'cos the pair of running shoe I am having is quite $$.. In other words, dun want to waste it..! :)

Good health, wish you all..!

十公, going to run



Went to collect my gift bag after work, lined up a few and getting more, but there wasn't any official queuing system in there... so..

The doors opened with a few minute delayed, people just rushed in. Any order at all? None!

That's all I have from the 'show bag'. The singlet is so sexy. The bag could be useful though..! Samples...

I don't think I will bring any bags there, still thinking of bringing the DC though... life as a blogger..!

10K, just finished the race then, no pressure on beating any times..! ^_^
