Kick start 2014

A great start for the new year 2014, I went out cycling with some cycling buddies for new year. It is different from all the other years before as this time, I am really serious about making cycling a routine. I have to admit that it is tough to keep my weight in check.

I have exercise mood swing, I used to jog everyday and go to gym. However, I got bored of doing the rounds again and again, every day its almost the same. I went to gym, but at the gym, I got so tired and got back home very late that I dislike the time spend.

So, last year 2013, my friend introduced me to cycling, where he lent me his mountain bike, which I eventually bought cheap second hand from him. I learned a fun way to exercise my body and meet more friends who share the same passion. I hope this last and I enjoyed every trip on the bike.

I decided to myself that if I do get fit and back into shape, I would get a nice road bike for me. Well, at least that is something to get me motivated in the long run. I know it ain't going to be easy but I know where to start now. At least for now the passion is burning.

Start 2012

When you start an engine of a vehicle, you expect it to start immediately without any hiccups or repeated start attempts. This is correct when starting an emergency gen-set in case of sudden failure of the prime mover, as you don't want a total black out, which will cause terrible consequences to self and team. 

That is me starting my new year. As responsible as I can get, I have to ensure that I am competent enough to handle. Likewise I should be starting up despite the coldness of the surrounding, I need to step up and show that I can and willing to do it despite the work conditions, challenge is my fuel.

So for 2012, I'll be working out for my real competency as well as my health and physical looks. Going to start this step by step to ensure no hiccups occur and pray that everything will work out well, as the clear skies might indicated safety, but winds blowing at 300kph can bring a storm above your head in no time.
