Quotes of the past month

2007-05-21T16:35:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the lack of updates!

Here are some funny quotes:

#Quote 1:
Victor is issued the heart rate monitor.

Victor: How do I use this thing?

Ardlee: What do you think, Mr Victor? There is only one button!!

#Quote 2:
All the runners are doing the super taxing PT combo issued by Warrant Chua Chee Beng. Everybody is MISERABLE....

Chin Leong: Hey Ardlee.

Ardlee: Ya wat?

Chin Leong: You captain, right?

Ardlee: Ya so?

Chin Leong: You captain, then how come you still doing this?

Ardlee: F***, you are right!

A police car passes by on the ECP cycling track.

Ardlee: See la, today Mother's Day, I am suppose to go off at 11am. Think my mum make a police report on missing person already.

#Quote 3:
The team welcomes Victor, who is a regular.

Ardlee: Talking about regulars, Maj Chia, do you know that Najib signed on?

Maj Chia (shocked): Really?!

Najib: Yes Sir, that is true.

Maj Chia (jokes): Didn't coming to AHM for the past one year teach you anything??!

2nd week Update for AHM Centralised Training

2006-08-04T11:26:00.000+08:00

We have done our 21 km training at Lower Pierce on Tuesday...sad to say not all the runners complete the run due to niggling injuries and muscle strain, for me it was worse, before i can complete the 1st rd, my knee gave away and that ended my training for that day...It was real sad for me cos i tell myself that morning i must not be the last one to complete the run, and i end up being the 1st Casualty. We did recovery for wed and thursday, morale is high and the injuries are clearing up.

This morning, we did a so called "Relaxed Run", simply don undertand how it can be call a relaxed run when everyone is running at a relatively fast pace...

This aftrernoon is our 9 Div Life Run, all our AHM runners will be donning the Running Kits sponsored by Saucony...As usual we will be doing our pack running for 12km at ECP C4 car park...Target for the 1st team to finish the run in 50 mins...

Time to strike fear to other teams....

Centralized training at Khatib Camp

2006-07-31T13:11:00.000+08:00

The warriors of 9 Div have gathered at Khatib Camp for centralized training. For one year, we've thirst and hungered for the top 3 position.

The day of battle draws near, 9 Div warriors awaken!

Vidz and update..

2005-09-23T09:43:00.000+08:00

As most of you would already know by now, there will be an appreciation lunch on the 27Sep at Selarang for all our runners.. So see ya there!

Hmmm.. Anyway, are we gonna start running together again or what?? If there is no objections, let's meet tommorow at ECP at EIGHT AM shall we? Maybe just for a quick 15km run together again in preparation for the Marathon and as part of our usual routine~

Well, here's the video's link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y638GSDN For those who don't remember which one this refers to, well, this was the video Ardlee took when our Div Comdr came down to visit our 21.1km run..

A quick update~

2005-09-18T23:51:00.000+08:00

Hey guys~
Hope we are all continuing to run after the AHM ya~ Haha.. This ain't the end yet!! Hmmm.. Another person brought up the idea of a Yahoo! Group.. So, well guys, here it is!!
TadA~!!

Join join join!~! Hmmm.. Anyway for the active guys (I mean NS active, I know all of you guys can't sit still and must run about~ =P), please wait a little longer for the news on the remuneration k? As for all of us, other things such as the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon is still a question mark at the moment.. Gotta wait till the boss finish talking to our big boss..

But at the meantime if anyone wishes to arrange for the runs, like the saturday runs we've all grown accustomed to, I'm sure everyone else will surely turn up! (Well, most who can make it..) Only this time round Milo and bananas may not be present huh~ Haha.. So let's all carry on running, be it at our own capacities as we did before we came together, or let's carry on running as a running group like we had for the past four months..

Stay tuned here and we'll be sure to see the activity level of this running organism (hey if you don't know what this organism refers to, it means all of us as a whole! ha~) will rise again and we'll soon be running and racing alongside! See you guys around!

Anyone interested in another bilateral half marathon??

PS. I really miss the fun we had at the last weekend before the race~ Really! Haha..

A closing chapter...

2005-09-12T07:55:00.000+08:00

Leads to another chapter's opening inevitably..

And so, for the year twenty O five, 9Div/Inf got the fourth placing in the AHM Army Team.

Well, all said and done, let us all look forward to the next year, in the safe knowledge that we've done decently well this year. (Com'on, from 9th to 4th in a year is no mean feat k??)

BUT! Before we look forth, perhaps we can spend some time looking back in the last moments of the buildup to AHM200Five~!

Well, these are the superb! pictures Helfizad took~~ More to come soon from Ardlee.. Will upload once I can, in the mean time, enjoy~

Summer Tavern... The Night Before AHM!

2005-09-10T21:46:00.000+08:00

We are at Summer Tavern. In between Boat Quay and Clarke Quay. The temptation is there but we are here to rest. :)

It's good to see the team in high spirits... Guess the training has served us well. How will we fare tomorrow? Only time will tell.

Here's wishing all of us a good night's sleep. May we all run our best and more. When our bodies tire... Remember what Warrant Chua says... PRESS ON! PRESS ON!

Good night and the very best to us all!

Hi Clarence here. Really glad to see the effort put in to enhance profile of 9div ahm team. Thanks for the training thus far but I'll be unable to make the trainings as I'll be in Aussie for the majority part of my ict. May everyone train hard and I'll see you people on the day of AHM itself!

A big appreciative thank you to the guys who prepare our drinks and snacks that greet us everytime during training!

FORGING AHEAD!!

2005-08-28T13:57:00.000+08:00

This is very much the highest point of our endeavour so far. The Champs did the full race course yesterday, which culminated with a pep talk by our Div Commander, BG Winston. It was evident from the talk that he appreciated this group of people whom selflessly give themselves and their time to train for the division. He assured them too that all that could be done have been done to support them.

As we inch closer to the day, let's all take a moment to reminisce in the months that passed us by us this group of strangers-turned-friends took time off voluntarily to train together.

At the first gathering, we met at ECP Big Splash carpark. Then, many turned up to listen to Maj Chia tell them about the plan. It was a Sunday, 20March. After the short 8km run, Maj Chia introduced his idea and revealed the battle plan to all whom listened intently to the brillant plan.

"Perhaps we'll stand a chance this year"

To be continued..

This story belongs to each and every one of the AHM 2005 Team9Div/Inf.. Help continue the story by posting your version to haojun9888@yahoo.com and it will be uploaded by the end of the day. This story is one that will go on and on and on and on and on...

Training program for 29Aug-4Sep
Monday 6pm @ ECP B1 Carpark
Tuesday 6pm @ADSD Complex
Wednesday 7am @YCK Stadium
Thursday 6pm @ADSD Complex
Friday 6pm @YCK Stadium

By the way guys, sorry bout the Milo depletion~

Training @ ECP

2005-08-21T21:09:00.000+08:00

ECP @ 0430.. No light, no-body,
just a bunch of running enthusiasts striving for a common goal.

The distance was 14km and they did it well. The sun wasn't out even by the time they finished.

Resting at the City Hall and overlooking the Padang,
for an instance,
the writer thought that AHM 2005 was finally over, with these people hailed as Champs already..

Hah.. But is not the end yet, guys! Well, training continues tommorrow with the champions going to YCK stadium at 7am for 8X 1km!! Plus another 15km run in SAFTI later at 5pm. www.geocities.com/haojun9888/tp.html

Tough week ahead, but expect result. See ya there~

Timings of training sessions

2005-08-19T08:09:00.000+08:00

Not foreseeing unforeseeable circumstances, the time to meet for training sessions are as such.

ECP race course meet at 0430am at the usual place. (for those who STILL dunno where that is!! ECP B1 carpark)

Yio Chu Kang Stadium meet at 1700/5pm, training starts at 530pm.

ADSD pool training meet at 1730/530pm, training starts at 6pm.

However, if you need any clarifications, feel free to contact HaoJun at 98419481 or Maj Chia at 96804502...

HaoJun

At the pool and @ TEKONG!!

2005-08-18T16:35:00.000+08:00

What do you expect when a few champs come together? Well, up to you to think.
Anyway, quite a crowd appeared at ADSD. Guess it was the first time ADSD was so crowded and noisy with our guys~

Tekong Challenge 2005 rounded up with the representives from our AHM team, i.e. the 9Div Team 1, emerging 1st runner-ups~ Plus, there was also the added bonus of Maj Chia and Arthur clinching the two best runners spots~
Drinks are on them, man~! Hah.. Great effort was put in at Tekong and it gave a good glimpse of what is to come at the half-marathon. Strive on Champs~

Unfortunately Helfizad had to be sent to CGH half way thru the race~ Hope he's fine and be able to quickly join back the team for their training on this saturday where we'll be doing the actual route. So guys please be punctual at 0430 @ ECP B1 carpark (so early!!).

Cheers~!
