Finally, an update! So enjoy it! :)

First of all, yes...I've been that busy. I dont even have much time to hit the gym or do some running. I keep saying "This SHIT never ends, and it has hit the fan". Well, the shit is about to stop. The question is... when?

Now that I have 4 days of holiday thanks to Raya, I'm finally updating my blog on a Sunday afternoon. God, where do I even begin? what to blog about? There is nothing more to blog about the Nike shoe. It was already done afew post(and afew months) back. So this might not even be a lengthy update.

You guys remembered I bought this game right?

Abugit!

I've been playing this game for nearly 2 months with the keyboard until i got this baby:

That's right, Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 for PS3/PC.

This baby works like a charm on the PC, I've been training Akuma and I'm getting quite used to it. I don't play online often because I still play DotA religiously every night with my good friends. SF4 is just 1 or 2 games before I sleep / Shower / Eat. Which explains why I still suck :)

TA DAH! The good shit.

Yes, I'm pushing the right buttons

Another good news is, the ladder rooms in garena are forcing users to use War Craft III version 1.24b which is the LATEST War Craft III patch. This stops fucking newbies from using collided DotA maps and IceFrog also released DotA version 6.63. What is a collided map? A map that has been altered and still not detected by War Craft engine.

A simple scenario; Zeus's ultimate is 180 damage at level 6. With the collided map, players can set it to do maximum damage of 9999999 = instant death. So how gay is that? But anyway, that shit is over, my friends and I are playing with 1.24b patch. So the only problem now is probably just maphackers(vision on map).

I can't wait to hit the gym consistently again. It has been horrible and I'm pretty sure I've lost some strength. It is already showing it for my back muscles. I could do 11 - 12 plates normally but I'm struggling now with just 11 plates.

I'll end this update with 1 progress picture although this was taken almost 1 month back. Fuck it, I'm too lazy to take any latest picture.

Enjoy the holiday peeps, 2 more days to go before I resume the same shit in office.

Peace v(=.=)

Siemens Run 2009 10KM, some Shoryuken and 1 sad news

Wazzup everyone? Didja miss me? :P I was busy la...pai seh. Busy with work and workout. Haven't been running for the past 1 week after Siemens Run. As I ran McDonald run a week before Siemens Run, the route was pretty much the same except for the ending; Instead of turning into Kompleks Pertama, we had to run alittle further till we come across Wisma Cycle And Carriage to make the "U-turn" point.

I felt stronger this time. I manage to maintain pace during all the uphills and side stitch wasn't a problem this time around. I ran slightly faster as I was pacing with my friend, David earlier into the run but his pace was very much faster...so I told him to run first because If I were to follow his pace, I would pancit even faster.

My timing was 01:10:13 for the run. My previous best was 01:11:48 or something...can't recall but that was during Men's Health Run 2008. I won't say its a magical thing to do with the shoe but I guess the McDonald run did do some good as training before Siemens Run.

The Route for Siemens Ron 2009


Now for some words regarding my thoughts on the LunarGlide+ during the run. The shoe feels alot better after more running in it and I could feel the cushioning really well this time. I guess their new technology Dynamic Support System really makes a difference this time as it is said to make the shoe adapt to a runner's feet without compromising performance. Although I mentioned that the shoe could use a little head room for the toes, this doesn't seem to bother me any more during the run.

Did you guys notice the "wires" on the shoe(The silver looking lines)? That is Nike's Flywire Technology which allows Nike to remove unnecessary weight WITHOUT compromising support and stability.

Although I haven't been able to try the LunaRacer, but the Lunarlite cushioning system is fantastic.

Taken from Nike Biz:
LunarLite System
Nike first introduced LunarLite in the summer of 2008 in Beijing as the mid-sole cushioning system in the Nike LunaRacer+ and Nike LunarTrainer+ running shoes. Traditional cushioning systems only absorb energy upon impact. LunarLite has proven to provide superior cushioning and significant energy return. The LunarLite System in the Nike LunarGlide+ creates a trampoline effect as the softer foam core is contained by the firmer foam carrier upon impact.

I'm not trying to exaggerate, but indeed, I felt some sort of bounce feeling upon landing. Hence, feeling all the technology coming into place for the cushioning work. Once again, it ain't a magical shoe or high-end-sophisticated-technology which helps improve your running by tenfold.

Nevertheless, the shoe is amazing for its lightness and size(small)!

Next up, my cam whoring sessions!
