🥶 Muscle Lost, But Not Forgotten: Aunty-Uncle Gains With Dumbbells & Kettlebells 💪🛎️

Disclaimer: I’m not a certified trainer, but I confirm I got one very legit old uncle body. So take my advice with some protein shake, can?

You know lah… once you hit 40+, 50+, suddenly your arms go missing. Not kena kidnapped. Just shrink. Your thighs downgrade from drumstick to satay. Muscle disappear faster than free buffet at company D&D.

This thing got name one – sarcopenia. Fancy word for “you’re getting old and your muscles cannot be bothered anymore.” Around 1% of muscle mass lost every year after age 30. If you’re not doing anything about it, you’ll soon be starring in your own horror movie: Attack of the Shrinking Uncle/Aunty.

So how? Retire muscle already ah?

Eh no lah. Still can fight. Still can flex. No need to sign up for Mr. Olympia or become influencer wear sports bra take mirror selfie. Just need to start somewhere. My somewhere? Dumbbells and kettlebells. Can do at home, void deck, even in front of Netflix. No excuses hor.

💥 Why Dumbbells & Kettlebells?

1. Compact. Don’t take up space like those gym bro machines.

2. Functional. Helps with real-life stuff – like carrying NTUC bags, grandkids, or sprinting for last MRT.

3. Scalable. You small-size now never mind. Got light weights. Slowly build up.

🏋️‍♀️ 5 “No Wayang” Moves For Real Gains

Do 2-3 rounds, 10-12 reps each. If too easy, increase weight. If too hard, reduce ego.

1. Goblet Squat (Kettlebell or Dumbbell)

* Hold in front of chest.

* Squat down, backside like sitting kopitiam chair.

* Helps build leg power and core.

🗣️ “Don’t cheat hor. Your thighs must feel the burn, not your knees.”

2. Overhead Press (Dumbbell)

* Push weight above your head.

* Good for shoulders and ego.

🗣️ “When you can carry your rice cooker above head, then you know this one working.”

3. Renegade Rows (Dumbbell)

* Plank + row one dumbbell at a time.

* Works back, arms, and your inner swear words.

🗣️ “If you’re cursing halfway, congrats — means you doing it right.”

4. Kettlebell Swings

* Swing from hips, not arms.

* Explosive power, cardio, sweat until can cook egg.

🗣️ “This one ah... uncle favourite. Feel like Tarzan. But need control, not anyhow swing like siao lang.”

5. Farmer’s Carry

* Just walk holding heavy dumbbells.

* Grip strength, posture, core — all activated.

🗣️ “Imagine you walking home from Sheng Siong with 4 watermelons. Same feeling.”

🥗 Eat Like You Mean It

Muscle needs food leh. Not just kopi-C and kaya toast.

* Protein: eggs, tofu, chicken, ikan bilis if must.

* Sleep: Netflix can wait. Muscles grow while you sleep.

* Recovery: Don’t go hero mode. Got pain, rest lah. No shame.

✊ Final Pep Talk From Wayang Side

Some people say, “Aiya I old already, why bother?” Eh hello. You’re not expired. You’re just marinating. Even better than before, just need to wake the muscle up.

So pick up that kettlebell. Shake off that couch-potato muscle. If you don’t use it, you lose it. If you use it, maybe next time the MRT uncle will give you his seat.

Be brave. Be wayang. Be buff.

The Silent Thief: How Old Age Muscle Loss Can Affect Your Life

2025-07-10T15:53:00.000-07:00

The Silent Thief: How Old Age Muscle Loss Can Affect Your Life, and How Dumbbells and Kettlebells Can Help You Regain Strength

As we age, our bodies undergo a series of natural changes that can affect our physical appearance, mobility, and overall quality of life. One of the most significant and often overlooked consequences of aging is muscle loss. This phenomenon, known as sarcopenia, is a gradual decline in muscle mass and strength that occurs due to hormonal changes, reduced physical activity, and other factors.

Sarcopenia can start as early as our mid-30s, but it typically becomes more pronounced after the age of 50. At first, the effects may be subtle – perhaps just a slight loss of muscle tone or a bit less strength when lifting groceries. However, over time, muscle loss can have far-reaching consequences for our daily lives.

The Impact of Muscle Loss

When we lose muscle mass and strength, it's not just about looking a certain way in the mirror. Sarcopenia can affect our:

1. Mobility: Reduced muscle strength makes everyday activities, like climbing stairs or carrying groceries, more challenging.

2. Balance: As we age, our balance and coordination also decline, increasing the risk of falls and injuries.

3. Metabolism: Muscle plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and metabolism. When we lose muscle mass, our bodies become less efficient at processing glucose, leading to potential metabolic problems.

4. Bone Density: Muscle loss can contribute to decreased bone density, further increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

5. Mental Health: The physical limitations caused by sarcopenia can lead to feelings of frustration, depression, and anxiety.

The Good News: Building Strength with Dumbbells and Kettlebells

Fortunately, it's possible to regain lost muscle mass and strength through resistance training using dumbbells or kettlebells. These versatile tools are perfect for older adults who may not have the space or desire for a traditional gym membership.

Why Dumbbells and Kettlebells?

1. Portability: Dumbbells and kettlebells are lightweight, easy to move around, and can be used in the comfort of your own home.

2. Variety: Both dumbbells and kettlebells offer a wide range of exercises that target different muscle groups, keeping workouts interesting and engaging.

3. Progressive Overload: By increasing the weight or reps over time, you can challenge yourself and continue making progress as you age.

Getting Started with Dumbbell Exercises

1. Start with lighter weights: Use 5-10 pound dumbbells for most exercises to focus on proper form and technique.

2. Focus on compound exercises: Compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses work multiple muscle groups at once, making them efficient and effective for building strength.

3. Incorporate isolation exercises: Isolation exercises like bicep curls and tricep extensions can help target specific

ic muscles and add variety to your workout routine.

Some examples of dumbbell exercises include:

Dumbbell squats: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold a dumbbell in each hand, and slowly lower yourself into a squat.

Dumbbell rows: Hold a dumbbell in one hand, bend at the waist, and lift the weight up to your side.

Dumbbell bicep curls: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold a dumbbell in each hand, and curl the weight up towards your shoulders.

Getting Started with Kettlebell Exercises

1. Choose a kettlebell that feels comfortable: Start with a lighter weight (8-12 pounds) and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the exercises.

2. Focus on dynamic movements: Kettlebells are designed for explosive, dynamic movements that engage your core and challenge your overall strength.

3. Try swings, squats, and presses: These exercises work multiple muscle groups and are excellent for building power and endurance.

Some examples of kettlebell exercises include:

Kettlebell swings: Hold the kettlebell with both hands, swing it back between your legs, and then up to chest height, using your hips and legs to generate power.

Kettlebell squats: Hold a kettlebell in each hand, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and lower yourself into a squat, keeping the weight close to your body.

Kettlebell presses: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold a kettlebell in both hands at shoulder height, and press the weight straight up over your head.

Tips for Success

1. Start slow: Begin with shorter workouts (20-30 minutes) and gradually increase as you build endurance.

2. Listen to your body: Rest when needed, and don't push yourself too hard – especially if you're new to exercising or have any underlying health concerns.

3. Make it fun: Choose exercises that bring you joy, and vary your routine to keep things interesting and prevent plateaus.

Conclusion

Sarcopenia is a natural part of aging, but it's not inevitable. By incorporating dumbbells and kettlebells into your workout routine, you can build strength, regain muscle mass, and improve your overall quality of life. Remember to start slow, listen to your body, and make it fun – with the right approach, you can overcome the challenges of age-related muscle loss and thrive in your golden years.

Tampines hub 2.4km Run

2022-08-14T18:39:00.001-07:00

Long time no write blog cause after the 160km Virtual run than I go for my third vaccine jab. After the jap I got frozen shoulder and heel pain. For the frozen shoulder took me quite sometime to heal it in a painful way. But the heel pain on my left foot. That I can't solve. So I keep looking for solution watch many YouTube than I find a guy who see many doctor but the heel pain keep coming back in the end he solve it by himself buying those Arch support soles and the running slipper than solve it pain. So I copy.

This does not really solve it but at least it can heal for days if I don't run or stand too long.

After a year the gov open up than I saw this Tampines hub got free running event

so I just register. To me it free so if on that day I heel pain than I just DNS.

Than I forget about it. As the event date come closer. I received their email than I remember I got register. So I scare I so long never run on the running date I may fail. So I start to try running a 2.4km. the first run it took me 15min to complete and I vomit. The second run it took me 14min to complete. To me it not bad already. My last 2.4km run in the Sport hub is 10min20sec that why never got the T shirt need below 10min. Haha

On the event day. I thought can go there video the participants but the volunteer say cannot go to the running track so I just wait for the time to get my bibs.

The first run are for the females so after they finish And come back I saw many carry trophy. Than saw my friend Carol and she told me if run below their so call timing will get trophy if over it will get a medal. OMG than I go check what is Master timing. So I must run below 13min45sec to get it. Walau my second training run is 14min leh. Sure cannot get loh. Than my girlfriend ask I can get or not. I told my girlfriend I try my best.

Don't forget I got heel pain. So before the race start I drink a can of 100 plus than I go toilet vomit it out. Haha.

After the briefing by the organiser. He say 1 round is 700m and need to run 3 round plus a 300m to complete. And told us we need to count the rounds ourself. OMG this would be a problem.

After that we master runner all go to the starting area. Than the organiser just shout start we all master run like the flash. I try to run very fast for my first round so I aim someone that I can chase behind. But after the second round my pace start to slow pochiek but I still try to keep up. Many start overtake me but ok I just keep running don't stop. Heavy breathing try to relax and cool my mind. I cannot sweat that why my head and body get heated up. But just endure after that I forget how many round I run but I remember that guy Infront of me. So if he stop than I stop.

In the end I finish it but do not know my timing.

Than my heavy breathing still continue and I follow Steven he say go level 4 see result but we went into a room and wait but I want to vomit so I went to the toilet. Than I from toilet come out go back to the room see something not right. We must have go to the wrong place to see result. So we go out search and it in second lever. Lol. When we walk in the room super long Q. The volunteer ask us to check result. And I see my bib number OMG I can get trophy 11min20sec. Just lucky.

After long Q for trophy and photo taking. I went back to look for my girlfriend.

At first she thought siao loh so long.she saw many runner that run in my start time all come back already. She think I must have pochiek. Lol . But when she saw I got trophy she happy for me. What a sweet girlfriend.

After that we go for a sweet dinner. And in dinner time she ask me how I feel if see everyone I know get the trophy and I did not? I think I would be sad bah for not training and blame it on the vaccine. Lack of training I cannot expect to be like last time bah. Other runners run every day. I just started. Let me know how you feel ? Lol

Overall trophy not the important things. Important is to meet the old runners.

And enjoy every moment in your run. And every Moment with my girlfriend. The best thing for this event that it is Free and come with many goodies from NDP. Lol

Now I wear the slipper in my house hope my heel recover again. Second day when I wake up tomorrow sure pain like hell.

My Country Singapore

2022-06-01T14:38:00.002-07:00

Singapore, not a easy country to live in. I was not born here but I grow up locally. I school here from kindergarden to Secondary. I serve my country for 2 years and many years of reservist. From the time where big brother handphone till now touch screen smartphone. From the time i watch drama using VHS tapes till now stream for free. Singapore keep changing and it change fast.

Yes no doubt to me Singapore is a great country to stay. In the past Singapore really got nothing to do accept watch movie. and to know someone you ether go community center or go to your religion gathering. Yes you can know many people if you still schooling. but at my age, not interested in learning. than the internet came and everything change. and the pace keep getting faster and faster.

Singapore said really is a good place to be. Low crime doesn't mean no crime. and not many natural disaster at all. only recently some so call mini Flood.

Singapore is a place of laws. The Government will constantly change it laws whenever they see necessary or come out new one till you don't even know what is right or wrong anymore. In this Country where in the past you can do or enjoy will be forbidden in the future.

Singapore is constantly changing. If you notice that some part or the road will have rebuild all the times. They can build a road than after a year or sometime few month rebuild the road again. Build than demolished it than build again. I think this is how to have great economy bah. So that people will have a jobs to do.

Singapore only like to go up but seldom go down. What I mean is Transport fare will go up, SP bill will go up. Up up up. Whenever there a announcement on GST rise. All business will start to rise their cost. Food and drink price will go up. In our previous GST is 7% and it say will go up to 9%. But it have not start yet and people start to panic. Hello it only rise 2% more but the people will increase whatever unreasonable percentage. Eg. Like a Wanton mee last time is $3 it will increase another 50 cent. It more than 2%. But no choice. Every year inflation rate going up.

So not easy to be a Singaporean. Either you make more money or you lower your demand. That how you survive here. That why the people here is so stress. A bit a bit will make a big scene. A bit a bit will quarrel with each other. And when people make a big scene. All smartphone will start to aim on them. Than within few minute the video will be in social media. Maybe because Singapore got not much news to report. That why it seen like small matter will become big news. If not next time you go coffeeshop gather you got nothing to talk about.

Overall Singapore such a small little Dot can become such a strong country also not easy. It all depend on the people here. From the lower class to the upper class all contribute bit by bit. Because Singapore do not have natural resources. If got I think the people here will not be so stress bah.

Ok write until here bah. Don't think anyone will read.

Stay Safe Stay Wayang.

Kim C 100 Miles Challenge Run Multi Level Method

2021-10-23T07:58:00.001-07:00

I have invent a Running routine to run my 100 miles Challenge 2021 by Running Guild (SG) (multiple session) so that I will not get injure and stress out.

This routine also good for training your endurance and commitment in something you hope to finish it. This routine is for running in multiple session. but if you a elite can go one shot run 100 miles. than this not for you. I been lack of running since pandemic start, so i need to train back my normal running standard and I am getting old. due to too many heart palpitation occur when I try to run fast so i decide not to risk my life and go in my pace.

This routine is for beginner who want to run longer distance. For runner who stop running for a long time. For people who want to challenge themselves.

I call this a Multi Level Kim C Method Run. another name is Kim C kinder garden Math Run. lol

this is how you do it.

A 100 miles is equal to 160.934 km make it 161 km. You will start by running you first run 5 km than second day 6 km third days 7 km and so on till you reach 18 km and that will get you 161 km.

5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18 = 161 km

same as if you going for 200 km

5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20 = 200 km

is just that simple. kids also can calculate. that adding up is simple. is the run that is tough. If you long time never run and start to run you will feel how tough it is to even finish a 5km run. That why I try to make this routine or you can call timetable. From short distance slowly increase by 1km per run. I don't say per day cause if you can do continue day by day non stop than it good. But if not you can just run one day and rest one day.

The benefits of adding 1km per run. First is to get use of running. By add 1km per run you will slowly feel the 5km is nothing by the time you reach 10km. By the time you reach 15km you will feel 10km is nothing. Cause you already get use to it. Second you can know when will injure occur like IT band heel pain leg cramp and etc so that you know when to deal it it. Third you can also test all the running shoes you bought that is it suit your feet for longer distance. For your info after I rarely run. All my running shoes sole came off simply just peel off. So shoe must wear and run if not it will spoil. Here is some example https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSeFTX4YF/ . than you also know that when will your energy run low. for me I bring two water bottle. one is tailwind endurance fluid drink to replenish my sodium to prevent me from cramp and another bottle of plain water just to pour on my head to cool me down. I will slow down every 3km walk 100m and run again. I only drink when I slow down.

The routine is not a competition. You can take your time. The main goal is to finish what you start. If today is to run 15km. No matter how tired just finish it. For every target km you complete. You will feel a sense of achievement. That you done it. By yourself. That a single great accomplish. Yes no medal no t shirt but you have make a difference. You will feel different.

Lol but for me. I got medal and t shirt cause I pay for it. I join this 100 miles Challenge so that I will not get lazy. I mostly run in circle at my block.

But after I complete the race. I will get back to my lazy self again. Until my next race.

To prevent injury you can do some warm-up before you start. Click the video for example

Do share and like if it help you. Don't keep this to yourself. Help other find their inner strength.

5 Good Reasons to Run Slow

2021-09-17T00:39:00.000-07:00

In the running society, runners metamope fast is consider elite runner. But there a new force of elites is growing. The runners who run near the cut off time.

What I mean by running near a cut off time. So if a full marathon cut off time is 8 hrs and you manage to complete at 7hrs 59min. That a real real super elite.

Running a slow pace near like walking pace is really really a hard things to do. If you don't believe go ask a fast runner that run a sub 3 or sub 4 to run a sub 8. He or she will die. Fast runner got no patience. They run fast cause they want faster finish faster go back. faster get all the goodies. as for slower runner by the time you finish the race, the event organizer already pack up.

Slow running need lot of patience. You can see runners keep overtake you and panic that you can't compete. You need to be very calm. So calm till you can enjoy the scenery. Slow runner also have a mental that if cannot be in time. Just finish already a accomplishment. Finding balance in their life.

The disadvantages of slow elite is that by the time they complete. Mostly all the goodies, food or drink already finish. Another things is that if they go to race with a group of friends. Those faster have to be patience too to wait for them to finish. But that what friends are for. For good times and bad times.

But you be surprise there a marathon for Slow runner, it is call Slow Marathon. one tak eplace in North East of Scotland and one in Japan ECO Slow Marathon INBA. The purpose of this kind of race is to let you enjoy the landscape of the country and the last who finish will be the winner

When we start to age. Some of us will begin to run slow. Like me last time like to run fast and very competitive. Now pon cik already after this 2 years covid scare to go outside. Slow running also got it benefit.

1, You will not easily get injure

2, You can enjoy the scenery more

3, You got less anxiety

4, If you in group you can chit chat more.

5, You can take your time to shit if you got to go

Life is so stress now I think it time to slow down. But whenever you feel like to be competitive again. can just train back. only it will take years. lol

So Be Brave Be Slow.

What I learn From Running? Part Two

2021-08-31T22:14:00.001-07:00

What I learn from running?
Running create many elites. Elites are not elites in the beginning and many just become well known after few years of running.

Elites can be sort in different types.
The first types are the real elites. I call it the Fast One. This kind of elites will train their heart out and win a race. They are very competitive toward any race. But thats human. Human are competitive in many ways. May not be running but competitiveness in many forms. I have give up to be competitive in running after this covid start. Now more of a slow runner. Healthy can be gain by just simple run.

Second type of Elites I call it the Fashion elites. Some are fast runners and some just run more for photo taking for their social media. A good thing about Fashion runners is that if they get enough following. They might get a sponsorship or become a ambassador of some running event. They can get free stuff from sport brands. To the brand it a win win situation. More awareness more sales.

The third type are the Ultra Elites. Those who run so long distance till they forget how to go home. The distance so long that they like don't have to work at all. Distance that take days to complete. Distance that some time no time to eat or sleep. The Ultra Elites many are we so call Nuts. But they enjoy every moment of their run. Ultra Elites mostly after many road run will turn to trail run. Trail I mean nature.

Last the Weird Elites. The Elites that run long distance but wear slippers or flipflops. Elites that wear a costume. Running barefoot. To many runners it may seem normal already by now but I still think it wired and hard to run in flipflop for long distance.

Anything write here are not true. It just a silly thinking of a silly guy like me.

Be Brave Be Wayang and Be Safe

Life still need to go on no matter what come ahead.

Virtual Run? Is it worth it?

2021-06-22T21:01:00.002-07:00

Virtual Race

When the first time I heard virtual race is created by I think 42 race. In my mind I don't think this business will work cause at that time there still many running events going on. Virtual Running Race is a race that you pay to join a race but you run yourself in any location. It simply say that you pay to run yourself. And when you complete the run. You just upload your record to their web site and they check you not cheating ( but even you cheat they also don't care) and they mail you your Finisher T shirt and medal. WTH. It simply you are just buying something you don't need.

Than came the Covid. All running race need to cancel or postpone. This give the organizers of virtual race a big big opportunity push and it became so popular that every runners get use to it.

After two years of this Covid situation. More and more race organizers need to run their business so no choice need to go into Virtual race. This pandemic kill many business but also make many not so high demand business bloom out of a sudden. Same like the app Zoom. Due to many Work From Home. Zoom apps became popular overnight.

back to this Virtual Race. not all you need to pay. the organizer sometime will create virtual race that is free. you just need to sign up and run. and once you complete the run you get a virtual image medal. for shiok only and can share and tell the world you got run. The free race is just a gimmick it like a free sample for you to try. so when you hook on it, or love the medal or t shirt design you will sign up AND PAY FOR IT. It also free so that the organizer can get your details and also spam your email with many other virtual races.

For me I only sign up the Free one. sometime even I sign up I don't even run for it. Free one it like you happy than run loh . but if you pay mean you must die die go out and run. if not you waste your money for nothing.

I did sign up payed Virtual race from Running Guild other than that I almost never do any virtual race at all. Util recently my girlfriend sign up some CC virtual race for me. Now I seldom even run. mostly walking. old already heart not getting stronger.

I think if you love running you don't need a virtual race to push you to go out and run. If you are hardcore runner you simply will just run day and night consistently. But if you need a force to make you run. than no choice go and pay for the virtual race. This will force you to get out of your sofa and run.

For me, I will save up util the Real Running Race return. That where you meet new friend and old one. that where you gather together for a purpose run. that where you find yourself still competitive. that where you get all your running photo taken. that where real social life is. that where Real things happen.

In the end, Virtual Race is just a motivational race for you to move your feet. There not good or bad in it. it just up to individual. you like it you will love it. you hate it you will hate it.

So be Happy Be Brave and Be Wayang.

How to be Popular in the Running Group?

2019-11-29T01:26:00.003-08:00

If you been running for quite sometimes, you will notice that your Facebook friends will keep getting more. Sometimes in a race event, people that you don't know will smile at you or say hi. It mean you are getting popular. Maybe by the running photo that your friend tag or maybe they always see your face in running event.
But if you run for so many years still no one know you. Mean something wrong.

In Running society, getting popular is not hard. Even you are shy also can become popular. Runners like to make friends. When they see new runners they are happy. Overall runner are all human. Human sometime need attention.

So I cut it short, how to be popular in the Running community?

There a few ways to do it.

But first are you sure you want to be popular first?

Being popular sometime may not be a good things to you if you are those who don't like attention. I don't mean popular are attentive seeker. but sometime you too well known gossip will start to happen. And also those who always like to jelly people will make story. So are you ready to be popular? are you?

If you ready please continue to read if not please click on the link here and go watch my Youtube better.

The formula to become Popular in the Running Society

1, You need join all the race event in Singapore

the more you go to a running race. the more other runner will notice you!

2, You need to join every free running club or groups!

it the same as number 1.

3, Take out you stupid smartphone and start taking wefie with the runners!

Runners really like to take photo. I don't know why but they really like it.

4, Start talking shit to people, talk anything that pop up your mind. a runner meet a runner is very easy to talk. just ask any other race you join?

5, Add other runner in you Facebook!

so that you go more exposure when other runners start to tag you in their photo

6, Keep commenting their post in Facebook!

another way to get other notice you

7, If you can afford, Spend them drink!

This I cannot afford it is for those who can

8, Train and run until on day you podium!

If you can do this, all the above matter you no need to do anymore. Podium Runner got this privilege.

9, Open a free running group and invite other to join you for a run.

If you host a running group. oh this more fast to be popular.

10, Go run a Ultra race,

If you can do a 200km sure become popular. I guarantee this

but really to be popular is not so hard. but if you a stuck up and think you are better than other. than forget it. You still will be popular but in the other way.

Funny thing is now i seldom join race cause I am broke so not very popular already. sometime I got free race I go there all new faces. but it like that when you are out you are out.

Popularity don''t really give you anything. but it just a good feeling that someone do know you.

Like I always say (Who don't know Kim C?)

long time no write blog so anyhow write one for fun.

I also anyhow write a eBook - How The Fxxk I End Up in YouTube

My First NUS Biathlon 2019

2019-03-29T00:36:00.002-07:00

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

Buying in Shopee

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.

Don't forget to subscribe my Youtube! We are almost at 1150 now and I know we can get to 1200 by Mar!

Have You Did Your Best?

2018-12-09T23:33:00.002-08:00

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 ?

2018-11-19T00:42:00.005-08:00

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?

2018-11-03T20:00:00.001-07:00

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?

2018-10-19T07:44:00.002-07:00

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

2018-09-27T06:21:00.002-07:00

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.

What I have learned from the Jeju Journey

2018-09-02T23:03:00.001-07:00

Wayang Trip
I hate to travel

I never book a hotel or a flight before in my entire life. All the booking is done by my girlfriend Siu. I just writing what I saw. I may be wrong, but who care.
The journey to Jeju island

The Flight
From Singapore flight to Jeju Island is very troublesome. You need to from Singapore fly one hour to KL Airport and do a Transit. But in KL airport they do not have direct Transit. So you need to get out of klia1 and get a free shuttle bus at level 1 to klia2.
So if you are from oversea you need to get Visa to get out Klia1.
If your flight is in the morning you can book a capsule hotel at KL airport 2.
And do not be late. I got a person who are with us. Late for 5 minutes and they don't let her board the plane.

The Home Stay
We stay at our Korean guide Mr Kang house. It A AB&B. I ask AB&B is Apartment Bed & Breakfast I think. Home stay got everything inside same like a home. So very convenient. The benefits is that if you are in a group, you don't have to wait for other cause all stay in one house. If hotel all in different room need to wait people who like to be late.

The TV Program

Jeju TV programs really nothing much. If only you know what they are talking. Their TV no subtitles. Even English channel. No wonder they can't learn English. And most of the channel sell stuff. If you watching a English channel within every 15 min there will be a very long advertisement. Very annoying.

The Cave

If you are going to visit any of the cave in Jeju. You better bring a jacket and umbrella. It is cold wet and dark. It so dark and cold I give up on taking any photo or videos. Half way I already want to come out. It so cold till my finger cannot bend.

The island

Jeju island one good thing is that there is free WiFi everywhere. I not saying there is WiFi in the mountains or hills. But many place got Jeju WiFi for free. So no need worry. Many of the Jeju know Chinese but not English.

The Mountain and Hills

I found that there lot of it. Some need to pay some no need. If you going to Jeju. The best is to hike all their mountains and hills. In the summit you will not see many hikers on top, it not like Malaysia where many hikers crowd on the summit to take photo. It very open and the views is spectacular. It like heaven.

The Waterfall

I think for waterfall you can skip this. Waterfall got nothing much and no like you can go into the waterfall. It all only for photo taking. Can't really enjoy it. Some you can't even touch the water don't even talk about falls.

The Hot-spring

This the best if you don't mind your nana or nini other seeing it. In Jeju. If got hot springs. Chose the cheap one where only got for the hot springs. The sauna is waste of time. The spring water is from cold to very hot. But you need to be naked when going into the hot spring room. Don't worry no one know you there. Your nana big or small they don't care. I think only you yourself care.

The Food

Honestly I think the food is not bad, it got their own taste. The Korean taste bah. Don't compare it taste with Singapore korean food. And their price is not expensive. Almost same as Singapore. But to me their breakfast is too heavy. Rice or mee as breakfast is too much for me. Another thing is their small vege in Chinese where they serve you even meal. It can be refill as many as you can. I find it a bit waste of food. Our group many do not eat it. also very hard to find Halal food

The Shop

Their shop close very early. About 8 pm almost every shop and market close. So if you go there for shopping. You be disappointed. I know ladies will go Innerfree. Do try the outlet, it cheaper than the one at the tea plantation there. And where every souvenir you want to buy. Buy it before go to airport. Don't buy in the airport. It price is way most expensive. Like a key-chain the cost 1000 won. The airport sell 5000 won.

Recycle

Jeju people very serious about recycle. So if you throw rubbish need to know where to throw. Even in the AB&B also need to do that. Not like Singapore can anyhow. And if you order a coffee. They will want to know you take out or drink there. If drink there they will give a porcelain cup. If take away a paper cup. And if you take away you not allow to drink there.

Overall this is a great trip. Siu choose this cause this is more a hiking trip than those stupid shopping trip. I don't shop. Keep buying thing that you don't use for what. Go buy experience better.

This trip is organize by Wilfred Wong from meetup group call

Let's Go Travelling & Hiking

Be Brave Be Wayang, I hate to travel

Cameron Ultra Trail 55km first timer

2018-07-29T23:08:00.001-07:00

Wayang Race

Cameron Ultra Trail 55km

my guidance angels

Siu ask me, are you nervous. I say I never worry about running. This time is trail. I don't really like trail running cause trail a lot of climbing. Trail Run and hiking to me is the same is just that one got cut off time one don't. But since got bibs just go loh.

SO many elites in the bus I scare

The problem that trail running you can't really enjoy the scenery. Every minute count and you will be very tired. When you tired the best scenery will not mean a thing to you. All you care is will you meet the cut off time.

For this race, I never study the route or even the cut off time in the CP. I just on the way and ask. All I know is that I heard the first two hills you need to clear are tough. And if you never go in front at the Flag-off you be stuck in a bottle neck. So I early go Q in front, I hate bottle neck. I don't know what is altitude, got hill just climb. Know also the hill will not be lower.

At the Flag-off met Jason and Eugene so decided to tag along with them. I know Eugene run before so he know the route. It good if you know someone who know the route.
I got a big calf cramp In the middle of the second hill. So I ask them to carry on and I slowly climb up like a slow monkey. (How I climb the hill is very ugly, I think only Sucan and Kim saw it.) Jason give me a salt tablet but the cramp still keep coming. Lucky I bring a bottle of pickle juice. For all runners if you got cramp try pickle juice.
After clearing the two hill came to CP3 reunited with Jason and Eugene. But I take a break they carry on.
I still catch up with them but at CP4 I need to wet my body to cool it down so will not get heatstroke and die for nothing. And also the porridge look good. Who don't like porridge you tell me. So took a minute of break eat the porridge and wet my whole body in the toilet.

My thinking to finish Cameron Ultra is very simple. I know my weaknesses. I cramp very easily cause I don't sweat. So first is to clear the two hill as fast as I can than up slope and flat route I walk, only run on down slope ( don't worry you got not enough down slope to run, anything go up must come down). I remember from CP5 to CP6 I ran down non stop and reach CP6 so fast till I also surprise. Cause running down the force of gravity will give me energy and I just move my legs. And only run on glass sorry I mean grass in the center of the road. Hard pavement will give more impart to my legs and cramp it.

the center glass no is grass I was talking about

Than at every checkpoint don't rest too long eat drink refill and go. The last part is tough climbing up to CP3. But slowly bit by bit. Curse and swear when you climb up. Slowly even you climb like a sloth.
The trick is to clear the first two hill fast that the most important point. Once it is clear you need to power walk not slow walk. Than you will got enough time to finish the race. And don't forget to drink their BOH tea at the CP. The tea make you feel strong again for few minutes.

When clearing the two hills, in my mind I more worry my girlfriend Siu than myself. She register the 15km so she need to climb this two hills too. Hope she clear one but not the second hill. The second one going down is scary. Safety come first. but I am proud she did clear one hill.

So if you know you are slow in climbing. Go Lambak and train. Bukit Timah hill is for kids. and also do go learn rock climbing. it will be useful.

And check your headlamp, I got a podium friend headlamp battery flat so he use the hand-phone light biting the hand-phone and climb up.

I run 55km 11hrs 34min. Veteran ranking 33. Not bad for first timer. Overall it make me feel like the days in the army where been force to climb up a hill with all the equipment. Just another army days.

Really no need run so much can complete

But I will not come back again, please why torture myself. Now I see one slope, I hate one slope.
One mountain sure got one mountain higher, you cant conquer all.
Now I got 3 points for UTMB qualified. Who want I sell you.

What I take in this race

80% 100plus

5% water

5% hot BOH tea

few oranges

3 pieces of the fruit that call dead that look like a shit.

one mouth of cup noodle and throw away

A beggar bowl of porridge

This metal bowl will save life if you hungry

Be Brave Don't be Wayang in Cameron Ultra, it is wise to DNF if you know you cannot make the cutoff time. It take courage to do that. You can come back again next year. Just don't ask me come back. I hate trail.

Mining Cryptocurrency Electroneum with smartphone?

2018-07-16T00:07:00.002-07:00

Wayang To The Future

I watch YouTube a lot. And come across kids that make YouTube on bitcoin. So I am curious why kids know so much about it. I don't know what is bitcoin and what does bitcoin do. But only want to know it so I don't get outdated.

After watching many videos about it. I come across a cryptocurrency call Electroneum. To my surprise, the Electroneum company give you a chance to have cryptocurrency for free by Gei Gei mining it in your own smartphone. Well if can get free stuff why not?.

To mine cryptocurrency you need to have expensive GPU or simply a laptop. But it take too much electricity and might not be worth it. Now with just a smartphone, you can so call mine it. It not actually mining cause smartphone don't have the power to do that. It just stimulating how mining a cryptocurrency is.

It very simple, just go to your play-store and download the app call Electroneum. For now only got Android. Apple phone is still on beta.

After download just register an account and create a pin to log in. That simple.

To help me out you can add me as referral. My Code is C75BE2 or just scan the QR code below. I currently only got 3 referrals only. Thank you in advance first.

Once you done with all the registration, it time you start mining. Just press the START MINING and you will start receiving ETN coins. You have build a future. You own some cryptocurrency now.

This is not a get rich apps so please don't think this will make you rich. It can't. But the reward coins is real. If want to be rich go find a job. As for how to use it and where to use it. I still not sure yet. You can Google it yourself.

So after you reach above 10 ETN. They will pay you into the app wallet and the count will start from Zero again. You can see the below image my wallet now got 11.42 ETN equal to Sin dollar 16 cents. Lol funny rate, I wonder will the rate go up?

It so good that I don't even need to understand what is cryptocurrency all about but I can have it. And it free.

You might not be rich from this app, but who know what the future hold. You can even leave this future coins to your kids or grand-kids. Maybe they will thanks you because you did something that will be useful in the future.

If you ask me will it drain your smartphone battery or take up too much data? Don't worry it won't. I have try it few days already.

For those hater who hate Electronuem coins and do not want it anymore can just donate to me. below is MY PUBLIC WALLET ADDRESS. I don't mind having it.

Check out this free app from Coinbase that lets you conveniently and securely store, and trade digital currencies like bitcoin and ethereum.
You can get it from http://goo.gl/cb5NZe

So be Brave Be Wayang, will blog app that give free stuff. will try it before I blog it.

"I don't really have goal, I have fantasy, they exactly like goal but without the hard-work."

To me running is running, but why running become a fashion show. The head gears the calf sleeve the fancy running shoe the squeeze ass tights. As a person who like to run. Running don't really need a lot. Just a running short, singlet and shoe, than just go out and run. If can bare than go bare (how I wish got bare female runners) but I heard bare in public is illegal. I always say can run mean can run, if cannot you wear Gucci running shoe also no use(Gucci got running shoe meh)

Photo from 2XU so handsome

But there nothing wrong with fashion runners, to wear nice nice to look like elites is actually is to look good in your photo. Don't forget there are many photographers in a race event. You will not want to look like you just come out from a wet market.

I think being a fashion runners also not easy. Try combination your running attire to look good. I don't think I can do that.
I only got three running shorts, one tight, and tons of running event t shirt. So I can't be fashion. To me it always nice to see female fashion runners. Who don't like pretty pretty girls that wear pretty pretty nice.

Because of fashion runners, the sport industries create new business in running goods. That why this few years running products is more than other sports. And new running product brands keep popping up. The industries know that now runners know how to buy to look good. And running really not that important anymore.
Too bad my paycheck cant become a fashion runner. It be more easy for me. Can run and look good even though I am very handsome already.

So runner that like me that don't make much will concentrate more on running then on mix matching the clothing.
To conclude. I love fashion runners, especially the female runners. They are guy motivation when you saw them at the race. You will run faster. As for guy fashion runners. Please don't. Guy too fashion look sissy to me.

The above writing is not write by me.(cause I type I never write) not to be in anyway to offend runners that wear to look and feel good.(but if you offended I also don't care, it mean you got anger management. Go see a doctor)

This is a Wayang blog. Everything is fake.
Be Brave Be Wayang Be a Fashion Runner.

Your First Running Race?

2018-06-27T00:36:00.000-07:00

Wayang Question
Monkeys are like human, but do monkey get cramps?

I still remember the first running event I go by myself. The Terry Fox Run. At that moment I don't know anyone at all. I have register for a 5km run. Only green green me I just wear it T shirt and run. At that time 10km seen a unreachable distance for me. So 5km is just nice for me.

I start join running event cause at that time, I really got nothing much to do. All my friend are either busy looking for money or busy taking care of their kids. So not easy to find people to go out. (And I dun really like to go out) And most of my friend are non active. Mostly they only love to window shop or seat chit chat and drink coffee.

At that moment, I work almost everyday. At lunch time, I will see many old man seat at coffee shop drinking beer or tea coffee. And they can seat there whole day, after days and after days. Than one days you will see the old man gangs getting lesser and lesser. I don't want to end up like them. This call even you got money also no use. You are wasting your life. So I got a idea in my head. To have fun in minimum cost.

By Running shots

I started joining meetup group activities, than slowly move to walking groups than to running.
Why end up to running. Cause I found that runners the people there are more nice. They don't judge( at that time that's how I feel) and are very positive( maybe fake positive,some you can tell). They encourage you to go for more. That how I started register so many running events. Now I go less event, choosy on running event. I still remember the day that I ran at Terry Fox 5km. And that the first Running photo I got from the running photographer. So handsome.

By Running Shots

Do you still remember how you still running and end up here now? Can you still feel the fire in your heart about running? I still run by myself now. Not aiming anything now. My fire have become candle light.

How to spot a running event photographer?

2018-06-18T23:56:00.003-07:00

Wayang Qoute

"The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less."

I think I wrote this before in my Facebook few years ago. But never mind I try to write it again. Even though now I no more spot the photographers. But it still give me a memories that what I was good at in the past. Spotting a event photographer are not so hard. If you want to find it , they will appear.

When the time I started running, event photographer at the moment was not many runners aware of. Than come Facebook pages and group. Photographer will post all the photos for free in their Facebook. The only problem is you need to know where your photo taken by who and where to find it. To me Running shots in the past have many volunteers photographers. Running shots are the first place I will find my photo if I when to a event. and they are looking for volunteer photographers, so if you think you are or wannabe or think you are born to be or want to showoff your skill or want to learn or just wanted to be a photographers. Click Here

It not hard to find your photo if you wear differently at the race.
to find others photographer Facebook you can click here

So how to spot a photographer?
When starting there sure will be one or two on the left or right. But if you are those want to podium and chiong. Than you need the photographer spot you better. But if you are average runner. When running do scout 100m ahead to see when runners slow down or stop. It mean there a photographer there. And also if the sky still dark. Do watch out for flash light.

When running always look straight, dun look at the floor. The floor got no photographers. Also if you saw the photographer, please dun stand there sudden and ask him to take your photo when others are still running. It very danger. You are not a superstar and will not be one. So just let them take what ever shot they can.

Spotting a photographer is really not that hard, it is the finding of your photos that make the challenge. If your photo is taken by someone. Do ask where to find it. Try to know the photographers. They are nice people.

Now mostly running event photographers are self volunteer. They don't get payed. So don't be so fuzzy about your photo. If you are handsome, you are handsome. If you no confident about yourself. Dont go out. Use your smartphone and take your own fake face. I don't care.

But if you want to be more pretty and beautiful, please support this site OTS Store Ref by Siu

Be Brave Be Wayang Be Confident Be Yourself

Obsession with running can or not?

2018-06-14T02:21:00.000-07:00

Wayang Quote

"All Behavior is Belief Driven"

Running is really a good sport. If you regularly run a few km to maintain your weight or just for feeling healthy. Running is what you need. Running also can relieve stress. Just yourself doing a slow run, listening to your favorite mp3 songs. What a wonderful life.

All runners are obsess with running. Running is like a drugs now.
But really why suddenly running become a drug. There a reason why running make a good medicine and a bad drug?

When I started running, I was so obsess and keep signing up races. I even convince myself that it ok to keep signing races. Cause I don't spend on other stuff. But after few years. The T shirt pile up like mountain and the medals like a paper weight. This create problem for me. To me more is less. So I started to sell the T shirt. He medals I still keep. But now just throw inside the shoe bag every time I complete a race. See also don't see.

Some runners so obsess even they injure they still run. they don't know what is stop. why I say myself.

I still love running but now run with less cost.
People will obsess of running and sign up for training. Just so that to improve their running. But it not logical if you got 100 races a year and each race you also PB. Really where got so many PB. All race and route is different. I have PB till I need to invent new PB. I call is slow PB.

Running with a Coach is great provided the coach just train you running but no other funny request.

Obsess with running also involve in obsess in buying. You will start to buy many many shoes, socks and attire. But each shoe will still look brand new cause each shoe only for showoff not for running. End up many runner is more care their outlook than their running. I call them the fashion runners. It like they are sponsor by the brand but actually not. But without fashion runners the running society also will not look good bah. If not you will see many runners still wearing the same old yellow yellow stain t shirt or singlet in every race like me.

Obsess with running got nothing wrong. It same like obsess with watch Korean drama, obsess with pokemon apps, obsess with zumba.
It just a way to occupied time.
In the end what left is not the stuff you get not how good you wear. It the memories that go down with you. Down i mean go down very down. RIP down.

Obsess or not you decide yourself. you think I care.
I only because I put this title already that why must write something. just to update my lousy blog.

So Be Brave Be Wayang and go insane on running. you run till you break your leg or go borrow money also not my problem.
this article I don't even got photo, too lazy. maybe just put one.

This one, run 5km wear 100km t shirt

Camel Muar 22km Run

2018-06-10T05:52:00.001-07:00

The custom q is fking long. I mean the Malaysia, I was in the sick mood. Going in Muar is not a race to me anymore. It a walkcation for video-graphing purpose just for YouTube views. My throat is dry like sandpaper. If I continue to eat the hacks, phlegm will form in my throat. I can't drink water now. Once I drink I need to go toilet. The journey begin after the Malaysia custom. Put on my mask it time to take a nap. It a 1 hour 50 minutes ride to Yong Peng for breakfast. For now I just try to sleep.
Finally reach Yong Peng, rush to eat cause I am so hungry. The stop is only 20 minutes. Than we continue the ride to the bibs collection area.
I have little memory the last time I came to Muar race. That why now I write it down.

We collect our bib and singlet at little three dissolve center convert to Chinese. At the little school, you will meetup with more others elites runners from Singapore. We stay at Muarrer Hotel, after check in we headed out for lunch. In Muar for food they will go tum chiak street. The food mostly is satay, otah, watan mee, oyster cake. To me all cannot eat. Dun forget I sick . But dun care still eat. Than walk a bit take some photo and go back take a nap.

After dinner with elites, back to our hotel room. We wash up and wanted to sleep early. But this hotel outside I think got singing KTV. You can heard it so loud. How to sleep? So seat and stare at the TV. The singing last till 12 am. The sleep is a challenge.

Wake up at 3.30 am. Dun sleep well. So wash up and go down to get ready.

At the race site, you can see many local runners. Safra lah, running hours, coffee tea runner, Daniel HIIT runners K5 and so on. The announcer motivate the runners also joke about the cow. Than come the warmup dancing. After it will be flagoff for 22km runners. It time 5.30am. the count down begin and here I go again.
To control my coughing I just maintain my breathing from nose to mouth. But after 1km my throat like cracking dry. I need water. Too bad the nearest water point at 4km so I tahan. And also I wanted to pee. Sick people many problem.

My mind only think of just finish it and go back shit. I also keep farting. I think a lady runner behind me heard it. But who care, my ass can't control. Finally a waterpoint. I need 100plus. I intend to stop at every waterpoint. No choice. My throat need 100plus. I keep spitting cause many phlegm. So to make my running easy. I need to change my thinking that I m not sick. So I put a aim in my mind. First is to found the cows. So once you got a target you will forget you are nothing feeling well. And also relax myself not to stress. See whatever beautiful. Stop and that photo. That how I last till the finishing. Just change your thinking it will change your mood. I cramp also keep going in sundown marathon, what a dumb sore throat can stop me. Just run and have fun.

My finishing time is about 2.30 for 22km not bad for a sick runner.
Must thank because I sick that why I can see the cows. Last time I run too fast no time to say hi.

The after event was great, not many running event finish come with food. Tons of tons of fruit was given to runners. Also got icecream soyabean drink durian cake cookies. There is finisher t shirt for 22km and 10km runners plus medal. Also for podium prize they got top 12 come with tall trophies. Open veteran male female all can get. Hello if Singapore knn cannot do it. No wonder so many Singaporean give up local race. Expensive not worth to participate.
But I will not be back again. Same races should not go again. Need to find new races.

Be brave be wayang run with a normal heart and everything will be fine.
