Today is my first time and first class for kickboxing. I am getting older now. Afraid that might break my bone. Still would like to give it a try. Really need to do a lot of stretching might get cramp. I wonder any guy today will wear leotard.. especially yellow color. Looks very damn cool. Would love to see one. So far I know only three guys join this class. By the time I finish kickboxing, I guess I will be 3/4 dead.

So what is kickboxing?

Kickboxing, which combines elements of boxing, martial arts, and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning. Unlike other types of kickboxing, cardio kickboxing does not involve physical contact between competitors - it's a cardiovascular workout that's done because of its many benefits to the body. Cardio kickboxing classes are usually comprised of 10 to 15 minutes of warm-ups, which may include stretching and traditional exercises such as jumping jacks and push-ups, followed by a 30-minute kickboxing session that includes movements such as knee strikes, kicks, and punches. Some instructors may use equipment like punching bags or jump ropes. After this, at least 5 minutes should be devoted to cooling down, followed by about 10 minutes of stretching and muscle conditioning. Stretching is really important because beginners can strain ("pull") their muscles, and slow, proper stretching helps relax muscles and prevent injury.

So dont play play, after I learn kick boxing ,I can kick ass...

Used to have G Max Reverse Bungy,but clark quay have added another cool ride. I dont know what is the name. Havent sit before but just like viking.. cool..

The four musketeers...

Last week went to green, first time we went to play in green. Interesting and fun but hot. We played 9 holes. Walk until my feet pain. Still our ball is so unstable, need alot of practise. Now I know why people like to play golf. It is the satisfaction when you hit a good ball. And you are challenging yourself. Try it. But still I prefer volleyball.

After a long time didnt go to sentosa. Last few weeks because of competition in clementi. We have no choice but to go back to sentosa again. Have to share court with people, and the sand so rough and the sun so hot. We have such good life at clementi.

The beach is still so charming and the sunset so lovely.. Kind of miss sentosa. Oh yah and some other guys to see, if not always see those few guys every week. Yawn....

Yogi flying, so far I havent heard it in Singapore. Or maybe I dont know yet. What is yogi flying.

Yogic Flying was introduced in 1976 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the world’s foremost scientist of consciousness, who has brought to light the knowledge of India’s ancient Vedic tradition.

Yogic Flying can help:

1. For themselves — to be happier, healthier, more successful
2. For society — to create world peace

I dont know I dont feel like it should be named as yogi flying, maybe should named it yogi hopping instead.

When we hit iron 7, then after hit Driver or wood, will hit the ground! And hitting the ground is around 3-4 times then we will get use to hitting iron 7 again. The scene was so funny. All of us were laughing there. So now we know that when we hit the clubs we must always change different club while during practise, not always hitting same club always.

Every Tue, Hatha yoga lesson. I have been to intermediate before but always do the downward facing dog until I Sian (Bored) So gave up. Too lazy to do it alone also. Now company sponsor us for lesson so just go.

My favourite posture is the Corps Pose. The Corpse pose releases tension from all the muscles of the body. This pose is done to restore strength and energy. You may start and the end your yoga sessions with the corpse pose. But for me, I just like to lie down and do nothing. Lazy people is like that.

Wow, this one to me quite challenging as belly so big already have to squeeze until so small... Tough Tough

National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign 2007 are promoting healthy lifestyles among all Singaporeans. It is a good idea. But what interest me is the logo, take a look. You can choose to frown or smile. So why not smile? But this image if my hair were to be like that means I botak already already. I will frown also....

Have you imagine that shopping centre can set up a bowling alley? It's cool. It is at novena last week while i was shopping, but it is for those competitor, cannot play but i dont dare to play also. so many people watching and then throw to drain...

Instructor told us about the club usage but I forgot but manage to find out.

SW = the sand wedge - its to get ball out of the sand - it is a very steep slope faced club PW = the pitching wedge - only to be used when you are near the hole - it will put the ball high and drop down straight so it does not roll very far

9 iron is for about 50 - 100 yards away from the hole and will send the ball quite high

8 and 7 are the same but will give you distance also , 7 is further

3 iron the furtherest - 9 iron the closest

oh why I cannot remember!!!

Wow, I won the Company bowling competition for highest point for ladies. But to me the points are not that good but still I won for 2 games. Sigh wanted to get last but get first & second game hehehe. Hmm not being humble. Won S$40 and two Complimentary Bowling Game.

Hehe gonna give them treat to drink tea already... happyeeee

Interesting facts about golf, so many rules, see until I blur blur. Take a look at golf swing.

Yesterday,4th lesson of golf. Last week justin not around, next week he not around also. Hehe, dont know when my golf lesson will end.

Yesterday learn full swing, wow not easy leh. my body so stiff. and then body have to bend a little bit foward when swing. And instuctor keep on saying that for my right swing, my right arm should not stick to my body, have to lift it up. Realised that without Tee, the ball cannot fly high, just fly to the floor. Dont know the reason why.

Last nite, just got my golf set from Slagenzer. Full golf set. Instructor told me that the seller actually won lottery so wanna upgrade her set so she is selling cheap. Yeah S$280 for a set is really cheap, and have all the accessories and cover for the club also. For me even I won a lottery I wont buy a golf set for S$1K, still my love sport is volleyball.

When carry home so heavy, I wonder when play at green those carrier how they carry, must have a technique. So heavy. Money not easy to earn.

My third golf lesson yesterdy night. It was so warm when we were there swinging the club. Yesterday we learn 3/4 swing. Oh.. first 1 hr, it is so suffering, we are struggling to get the swing right. Two weeks never train and i totally forgot about everything. Luckily have instructor there to correct us. He keeps on asking me to swing my arm from left to right. He adjust my arm to swing left and right, but I am so stiff. He jokingly said that I must have put a board at the back of my back. After some time, he told us to relax and stand on our feet together and do the swing. Wow we realised that we swing better and the swing is from the arm swing, lower hip there have to twist a bit. After a few try, I felt more and more comfortable and I manage to hit a 75 metre ball. Yeah, satisfaction. But still alot of practise needs to be done. I hit 100 balls yesterday forgot to bring my glove which I have bought. Fingers were painful also but today is ok already as should not hold the club too tight, should relax.

I was actually feeling quite bored after two weeks without the training, but after getting the hang of it again. I enjoy it. Next week stop again as Justin need to travel go overseas. I need to go and check out the golf shoe. Budget around S$70. If got anyone know cheap shoe and good tell me.

Golf 2nd lesson

First boo boo that I made yesterday,I forget to put the bucket when the balls fall out from the machine. Then I reaslied it and quickly put the bucket. A few balls fall onto the floor and roll off. Lucky one of the instructor there helped me to pick it up. I didnt even notice who he was, just say thank you.

Learn how to do half swing, wow lau so difficult, posture, holding the club, where the iron 7 and where it should face to. So many things to remember, lucky I still manage to hit some nice shot, but still a few shot hit to the ground. Must remember when swinging to the right, left shoulder should be under the chin, when swing back to the left, right shoulder should be under the chin. Must remember to bent alittle bit of my knee. Arm must be straight when swinging the Iron No.7. Need to buy a glove also , if not my hand will be very rough. So much thing to buy, shoe also must buy. My hand now painful, after the old injury from volleyball on my left arm, now hand also painful. Siew Lian just bought a club for SGD700 plus, sigh need to go and sell my ass already. So exp, and maybe I seldom play also. Need alot of practise then break my back.

I wonder how I do the full swing, see people do very easy, when I do it, like gonna kill me.

First Golf Lesson

First lesson was interesting but stressful as need to remember the golf equipment it is still new to us. Still now I cant remember the golf equipment names. There are Driver(Wood) , Irons, Wedges and Putter.We were told to use Iron No. 7 for the training. The instructor asked me why I look so stressful,haha i am a little bit stressful and also alittle bit sleepy. After work my eyes are always so tired after looking at the monitor for the whole day.

When we look at other people hitting the ball, it seems like very easy. But when we try to hit the ball, wow so many things to take note! The arm how we swing, the grip, the posture,etc. By the time we finish posing, 3 mins already. By the time we hit the ball 5 mins already. I know that it is not easy, just need a lot of practise. The instructor point out that I always forget to bend my knee. Other friend's fault was when they swing, the arm always bent. Playing volleyball helps a little bit as volleyball need to always have a posture of straight arm when hitting the ball.

Now after first lesson, I alittle bit understand why people like to play golf. It is the satisfaction when you hit a good ball. And it is you yourself that you are challenging. I think maybe I will like this sport also. Gambatte. Lynn Chiong

Change here change there, finally tonite is my first golf lesson. My friend actually told me he wanted to join, but last nite he told me he cannot. Why people are like that promise already, then just say not free again. It is not last min that I told him, it is 3 weeks ago. I just dont understand why people are like that.

Wow, this roller coast ride is awesome. I would like to try it some day. And this is my dream roller coast.

Top Thrill Dragster is a steel, hydraulically-launched roller coaster located at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio. It was the first "Strata Coaster," a complete circuit coaster that is 400 to 499 feet tall. It was built by Intamin AG and debuted to the public on May 4th, 2003. It is one of only 2 strata coasters in existence, the other being Kingda Ka (2005) at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

Top Thrill Dragster, wait for me, I will come and ride you when I am free.

Next Thursday, hope no changes and can start my first golf lesson. 10 lesson and one green for around S$300. Some people may think, oh.. golf it is expensive game. Yeah I agree. Some said oh learn golf, so want to be more high class? For me, not for high class. It is out of curiosity, I just wonder why people like to play golf so much? What is so fun about this sport? Walk around under the sun and carry the sticks around. Hitting just a small ball.. into the hole. So, I wanna find out. That is why I want to know how it feels when I play golf. Hope that I wont broke my back when I swing. I think it is a hard to have the correct posture also. A few things to note that I read from article was Grip, Posture and Swing.

• Grip There are two kinds of grip- 1) The overlapping Grip - The little finger is positioned between the index and middle finger of the left hand. 2) The Interlocking Grip - The little finger interlocks with the index finger of the left hand to ensure a secure position.
• Posture Check posture to by placing a club behind your back with the shaft touching your bottom and the tole of the club touching the back of your head From this position , bend forward from the hips keeping your legs straight. It is important to keep the legs straight, otherwise the hips and back will be in the wrong position. Lastly, let the arms hang down freely from the shoulders and bend your knees very slightly. The club can now be held. Make sure the club head rests on the ground.
• Swing Turn your shoulder to the right, extending the leaft arm to the said. The arm and the club shaft should be in straight line. Continue to turn shoulders and let the club swing up over the right shoulder. On the down swing, swing the body to the left, allowing the arms to extend towards the target (where you want to hit to ) Transfer your body weight to the left. In the finish position, your entire body weight is nearly on the left foot. A good swing has poise and balance at the finish so can wwatch the shot to the target.

By the time I finish knowing all these, I am so stressed out already. Joining the club also need attire. Collar shirt, a cap (for cover of afternoon sun, but I will learn at nite so no sun), cover shoe and short pant or skirt. I wont be buying any golf clubs as I will borrow from my colleauge. Good luck to me. Pray hard I wont break my back..

Siloso Beach FIVB Woman Competition 27th May 2007

Guess what winner for this FIVB Woman Competition will get US$32,000. Brazil won. It was a good match. Bronze & Silver medal was won by china. It was tough competition. I really enjoyed it. Get to talk to one of the germany player but didnt ask her name. She was just sitting beside me watching the game.

Before the match began, we went to walk around. Played one game that is to hit the volleyball inside the hole. I manage to hit once into the hole which is no lens care and I won a water bottle. Was nice as a lot people tried out but didnt get it.

They sell mikasa beach volley, was nice have a key chain and sold at $60. Too bad we bought a new one recently and it was at $80.

The heat is on!! yoh hooooo.

Brazil won. They are really very gooda..

After the competition, we went to play volleyball at the beach. We won two games. It was nice game. Long time never play with other people who are not from our team. And I realised that we are more confidence of ourselves and we know where to stand and cover the balls. Now I even know how to spike and drop ball. Know where is our other team player's weak point and plus point. So I guess I have improve alittle. But still along way to learn.

The sunset at the beach is still so awesome. I really miss the days we were playing at the beach. However we now tense to complain that the sand is too hard. Playing at clementi has made us felt that running at the sentosa sand was easy. As clementi court sand was really very soft and it helps us to improve our stamina. However one of the bad point was that if we play with other people, we want to win so much. Hope that we will still unite as one team player and still be good friends.

Gambatte every one.. Cheers..

Volleyball my love

I play volleyball every saturday at clementi. 3pm to 7pm. Sometimes we play extra hours since the door keeper havent come and close the doors. There one thing not good is that no place to bath as it is sand volleyball court. And now even the toilet are spoilt and the coffee shop which I went to pee have been closed down! Jia luck. And I am the peeing queen. I have to pee. You can view the pictures inside this link http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=4k24yff3.9fb4ar9r&x=0&y=8h99ah
