The holidays, a new year…

Hello hello.

I had a lot of wining and dining this holiday. It’s great to get together with some friends I haven’t seen for a while. On Christmas Day, I had a family dinner. My mom went back to Hong Kong the Friday after. Work has been very quiet. We all want to be out of the office than in.

One of the house party,we were playing a game that you have to figure out what the answer each person wrote. The question varies from, ‘if you are a Vice President, who will you want to be under” and “if you can be a infomerical product, what would you be?”

To the latter question, one person suggested snuggies. What’s snuggies? Take a look:

Be sure to look at the 1:05 mark. It looks like snuggies more of a cult wear 😀

…ok now on the training front.

I haven’t swim everyday as plan. Though, I am hitting around the same volume when I was training for Ironman. The bike and run needs to ramp up. Yesterday, I went to the Y late and I had 20 min to swim. I quickly jumped into the pool and did a quick 700 m before they pulled me out.

As I continued to swim longer, I keep on thinking of different ways and different sets. There are the drills: high elbow, catch, breathing, one arm, paddles, flippers. Then just volume, 10 x 200 m, mix of 200 m, 100 m, 50 ms. Ladder (100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 200 m, 100 m). So much fun.

There is an indoor triathlon race around my area (University of Toronto, Hart House) on Feb 14th. That’s right..nothing like saying will you be my valentine in a pair of spandex (or speedo, if you are bold) swimming, biking and running. I am trying to organize a team to do this. I have loads of friends who run and bike. Though no one swims. Note to self: need to find more swimmer friends…

…I am eyeing on a pair of snowshoes for Christmas. The lowest price (from a good brand) is $150. There is a running pair selling for $190. Trying to find a pair that’s 2nd hand but no such luck.

…better get off now, going to grab a cup of joe and hit the trainer for an hour.

I hope everyone had a great new year eve. And now 2009 is just begun 😀 May you have a great one…here’s to more pain, more laugh, more sweats, and of course…more speed!!! 😀

Dusting off this blog

I have been blogging since 2005. That’s almost 20 years! Though not very consistent. What started with a triathlon blog turned into a Christian blog. And I stopped blogging in 2011 after I came to Singapore. These days, I’ve shared most of my thoughts on social media (Facebook, Instagram and

Fruit for thought: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

I recently finished listening to the whole series of podcasts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. It has been a sobering podcast to listen to. I highly recommend for those who are in seminary or going to ministry full-time to listen to. It is a good reminder that

Five Books Recommended for Christian Parents

Here are a few books I highly recommend for Christian parents. I read them for my M Div thesis. My thesis was persuading how parents should discipling their children, not the church. Book #1 – The Disciple-making Parent by Chap Bettis I never thought my role as a father was
