Modify 2.4km IPPT run to ease strain on heart

I REFER to the report, 'SAF officer dies after 1.2km run' (ST, Jan 3).

There has been a spate of deaths recently with the victims
collapsing while running. Most national servicemen have to complete a
2.4km run in order to fulfil their annual Individual Physical
Proficiency Test (IPPT), so I think it is high time the Ministry of
Defence looked into revamping this segment of IPPT.

On average, in order to obtain a Gold standard in the IPPT, a
national serviceman has to obtain a minimum of four points (out of a
maximum of five points) for each of the four stationary fitness
stations and then run 2.4km in about 10 minutes, plus or minus half a
minute.

Anyone who has ever achieved a sub-10 for a 2.4km run can attest to the power
of endurance needed, and the pain and fatigue undergone. Of course, the
excitement and sense of achievement are what push one through.

However, it is unrealistic to expect the majority of national
servicemen to reach that level of fitness. Many have unintentionally
injured themselves trying to break the 10-minute barrier by overtaxing
their bodies.

Hence, it is not advisable to set such a short time limit for a 2.4km run.

Fitness experts recommend that we engage in a cardiovascular
exercise continuously for at least 20 minutes in order to maximise its
benefits. Running a sub-10 does not seem to serve that purpose.

My suggestion is to extend the distance of the run to 4km or 5km,
with a time limit of 30 to 40 minutes, thereby focusing more on the
endurance and general fitness than speed. This should put less strain
on the heart and body, while giving the runners some time to warm up
and ready their bodies for the run in a less gruelling manner.

We cannot delude ourselves that these 'running deaths', which have
led to the demise of healthy men in their 20s to 50s, are coincidences.
Neither can we attribute the concerns expressed over these occurrences
to 'sensationalised news' by the press.

Instead of a sudden burst of energy to complete a run in a short
time, a longer run may be all it takes to prevent a cardiac arrest.

I salute you with my 2 middle fingers

Dreaming of a New PC.

After Much Research......




Cooler Master Mystique 623 Full Aluminum $189
Why: This is the coolest casing to compliment my room. (poison)




Cooler Master Real Power M520 $159
Why: This power supply has 5 years warranty and a price drop! 80 Plus certified means it's power saving and only draw the amount of power needed. Modular means you only add in which cable you need



Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB 32MB Cache Hard Drive $209
Why: 500GB with 32MB cache instead of 16MB. Should be very fast and more then enough.



Samsung S203B 20x DVD Writer $47
Why: Award winning review by CD-Freak

MSI P35 Neo2-FR P35 + Intel E4500 $406
Why: This motherboard is actually a Platinum and I choose the cheapest core 2 duo (don't really need so fast for now)




8800GT with 1GB Video Ram $???
Why: I have a dell 24" LCD and the 1GB will help a lot. Rumors has it that the card will be available next week.

Corsair Value Select Ram PC 5300/667 2x1GB $31 each
Why: Most of the products are from Corbell. No need for Ram that is higher then 5300/667Mhz unless overclocking. Ram Price at this range is the cheapest now.


Total damage is around $1.5k. I seriously need money. This computer will last me for another 4 years.

Mac Book attitude problem.



The stupid CD stuck in the slot in DVD-Writer. Because of this disc, my whole computer slow to a craw.

Got it fix after 20min. They replace it with a new DVD Writer. (talk about express service!) I wasted 30min trying to get the CD out. Anyway I saw how the technician took out the whole thing, means that I will know how to change RAM and Harddisk for MacBook Pro.

How I wish the laptop was mine...

Not Bad.

At one of the office at Suntec City tower 4. Their internet seems to be blazing fast.



Nice View too!

Something to keep you awake in office.

This is so true~!

This is something not very new but very new to me. Usually oversea people who come to singapore will find this card familiar.

This card can let you make outgoing call for 9hrs non stop.(gauge on Starhub PowerValue 100) Let me tell you how it work:

1. Basically you buy one of this card at 7-eleven.
2. Call 6550 9544. The line will be busy and hang up on you.
3. After which your HP will ring and a robot will ask you to input HP number
4. Dial oversea or Singapore Line (example: 6561234567) with the country code
5. Talk till you are happy and hang up
6. You will receive sms and a special phone number. You can choose to save the number so as not to go thru step 1 - 5 in the future.

Amazing!!!

The card will tell you how much value you left and best of all, the call that the other party receive will be 'private' with no caller ID.

The rates compare to starhub (example):
You use up your 100min each call would be $0.15
Using Callback card $0.027

Go do your maths.

You can have a $1 FREE TRIAL and also more info at:
http://callback.sg/

Now don't say I didn't share lobang with you. (There seems to be quite a number of callback card. I heard the green card is the cheapest if you are using it to call Singapore - Singapore)

*Card cost around $8.50 and expire after 6mths.

P.S: I've went to check out at 7-eleven. It seems that they only sell sunpage card. I have no idea where my colleague gets her card that is shown in the picture. The card is suppose to give you $13 value that cost $8.50. I will update this post when I get the answer.

BBQ.

Seldom you will find me blog about food other then chocolate. Mainly because my taste bud is spoil and the only heavenly food I can taste is chocolates.

Attended 2 BBQ on yesterday and the day before. Sunday BBQ was organise by dear colleague. The food was all cook by her colleague daughter. The daughter work at westin hotel as a chief. Food was seriously fantastic but erm.. you know.. I'm those I eat to live and not I live to eat kind.

The second BBQ was organise by class 1/1 from BGSS to celebrate their 'graduation' from sec 1. Unlike the first BBQ that setup a BBQ for no reason at all except to enjoy food. This BBQ is amazing bcos it was held at some HDB block and the class of 20 over students didn't manage to start the fire from 4pm to 8pm.

Dear was the hero of the night. Mange to start a few fire points but I guess recently its either too windy or the charcoal was not enough to maintain the fire but we have fun though. (I'm not sure about them but I sure have fun) It's not easy to see them cos they are only 13 and they can't really go out like adults with no limits of time. It's a joy to be able to see them again.

After a few hrs most of their parents came to fetch them home. There was still some left over food which we can't do anything to it bcos there's no fire. Most of them went back semi hungry I guess. lolx.

Here's some of the pic.
