I'm posting this because yuzhen requested it. haha
it was a publicity gimmick on sunday 15 april for the Arrow Ministry Launch. i think it's quite funny cos the third time they did it the suntec security was hovering around trying to find someone to catch =P
having been inspired by the movie, i decided to find out more about the training regime the cast and crew had to endure to get their ripped bodies... and frankly i wasn't prepared for what i found out.
this video is basically an introduction and an overview to what they had to go thru... and even that was enough to make me sweat where i sat... my mind can't even comprehend the intensity of the workouts. in fact, as a gauge of their fitness, they designed a fitness test called "300" which comprises of a total of 300 reps broken down as follows:-
“300” 25x Pull-ups + 50x Deadlift of 135 pounds + 50x Push-up + 50x Box Jump @ 24 inch box + 50x Floor Wiper @ 135 pounds (one-count) + 50x Kettle Ball Clean and Press @ 36 pounds (Kettle Ball must touch floor between reps) + 25x Pull-ups 300 reps total
hur hur hur. 25 pull-ups. like real lor =P i can't even do 5 haahahhaa.
if you're interested in reading up more, gym jones is the guy who trained them, he's got a few articles and videos you might wanna check out.
I’ve often thought it curious how few people Jesus raised from the dead. He healed hundreds and fed thousands, but as far as we know he only raised three: the daughter of Jairus, the boy near Nain, and Lazarus. Why so few? Could it be because he knew he’d be doing them no favors? Could it be because he couldn’t get any volunteers? Could it be that once someone is there, the last place they want to return to is here?
We must trust God. We must trust not only that he does what is best but that he knows what is ahead. Ponder these words of Isaiah 57:1–2: “The good men perish; the godly die before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For the godly who die shall rest in peace” (TLB).
My, what a thought. God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. Could death be God’s grace? Could the funeral wreath be God’s safety ring? As horrible as the grave may be, could it be God’s protection from the future?
Trust in God, Jesus urges, and trust in me.
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me.”
"Hoegaarden is usually found in its natural habitat of bars and clubs, and we have recently discovered a very small colony living somewhere along Alexandra Road. Enthusiasts are reminded to catch a glimpse (or more) of their favourite beer before it leaves the area."

Also, I've changed the blog readers access level to "anyone" per Kevin's suggestion. Now you can view our blog without logging into Blogger (comments are still restricted to blog authors only). If you're not comfortable with this, please let me know, I can change it back to restricted access.
was on my way to the toilet at Bugis Junction when I walked past this nice shop selling some wallets.. salesman provided very nice service so I brought!!!
Not sure everybody attended today's service (i didn't - was serving) but I know that today was the official launch of a new ministry - Arrow.
Anybody interested in attending? I want to go and see how its like. No harm getting more "food" during the week. Next svc will be on 28 Apr (Sat) but I'll be in KL. What abt the following service 2 weeks later?
By the way, I wanted to add a tagboard in the blog so that its easier for us to drop comments but I don't have access. May, did you remove my right to blog? Cos i can't sign in to blog the usual way. Had to reclick the access email that you sent previously.
To end the post with style, here's a pic of niq, me and sean in Hiroshima while waiting for the train.
