3 nights in a row at Bukit Jalil

Last night completed my 3-night-swimming-practice. Honestly i rarely make this kind of commitment especially when it comes to swimming, however because of me realising that i have progressed remarkably within the last few weeks, i consider this as a breakthrough. Last night, i did the same thing of paddling with my hands and constantly kicking my legs. Although my face was still under the water surface while padding and making me not able to breathe, i noticed that my entire body afloat was reasonably moving stably, as oppose to the last practice where it was wobbly. Another thing which i think it was an improvement was, when i paddled using my left hand, i felt that i was more confident. I always make the bars at the bottom of the swimming pool as my mark to make note on my progress. So until now, i was able to reach 2 bars by paddling my hands and obviously holding my breath underwater. Well, i could not wait to learn on how to surface my face out of water and catch the air. Until now, just keep on practicing. I got to stop, cause i have a meeting to chair.

gopro xshot extendable arm

It's really a good news for me today. I just arrived at my office cubicle and i realized that there was a large parcel lying on my table. Not to my surprise, immediately i know that the xshot 2.0 extension arm for my gopro has arrived. i dont expect that it will arrive that soon, i was thinking it may take around 3 to 4 weeks at least, well this is based on my past experience of purchasing over ebay. Thumbs up ebay!!! it looks like my gopro will be accompanied with a handsome xshot extension arm.

New year with new goals in mind

I admit that i haven't got any reasonable excuse to explain why i have lost touch of my blog. Well, i don't to blabber wasting my time justifying myself why i'm so lazy. the fact that my blog becomes irresponsibly poor, well in fact with no post at all for the past 5 months is just & inexcusable & un-acceptable. The point is now, i wanna start it back. Making myself of returning to my old habits of jotting down my thoughts is something that i think is good, at least to my mental therapy. There were so many things have happened and yess i wont blab about them. If i think i have ample time to scribble it down, then good for you. In this particular posting, i just wanna to share one of my personal goals this year which is freestyle swimming and paragliding. As of now, i'm so into thinking of my swimming lessons. Honestly speaking, i cam say to my self that i have progressed remarkably. I started i think almost one month ago at bukit jalil pool, never had in mind that i would progress quite well like now. i only set a mildly goal that i want to be able to freestyle swim at least this year, if not the worst i can make myself move forward just by kicking. The last memory i had on swimming lesson was in 2006, where i failed to swim. I know the theory but when i dipped myself into the water, things were not as what are learnt. From thereon, it become sort of a nightmare & i'm phobia of starting another freestyle swimming lesson. Well thinks had changed now, thanx to my gf for encouraging me to go to a pool and start over again. Now, i am able to kick forward & moving afloat at the water surface. and i just started practicing using both of my hands slowly paddling the water. It was still not really in orderly fashion but i started to get the hang of it. Couldn't wait to update another posting on my progress.
