The Six Pack Ab Day #2 2008-07-21 10:25:16 I ate a little less than I did yesterday. Two main large meals with two snacks, each after a main meal. I wouldn’t say that I’m eating healthfully, but definitely less than I would have without this six pack goal in mind.
My day ended a little late due to other activities, and didn’t really [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #1 2008-07-20 10:32:52 I kind of regret starting this six-pack ab goal without really thinking it through. Today’s the first day, and after going through it do I realise that I have close to no idea how I’m going to carry this plan out.
Firstly, let’s set out what I do know.
My goal is to get six-pack abs, [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #0 2008-07-19 19:19:40 For the past three semesters, I’ve set many academic goals, and have achieved them. Last semester was a little bit different, as in addition to my academic goals, I had actually set some financial ones as well: one was to ensure that I spent my money wisely (I set conservative estimates of my expenditures and [...]
Work-Life Balance 2008-07-18 23:08:01 Work-life balance is something that many people in this modern age are looking for. The most obvious symptoms of lack of balance is when either performance at work suffers due to family commitments, or the family’s upset at all the time the individual spends at work.
Many employees tend to believe that the onus is [...] Read more:Balance
The Conversation is the Relationship 2008-07-17 01:06:58 The following abstract is taken from the book Fierce Conversation
s, by Susan Scott:
During a keynote speech at TEC International’s annual conference several years ago, [David Whyte] suggested that in the typical marriage, the young man, newly married, is often frustrated that this person with whom he intends to enjoy the rest of his life seemingly [...] Read more:Relationship
Examination Results 2008-07-15 00:47:47 I just received my examination results, and miraculously I managed to improve on my grades from last semester.
I’d like to thank all who have supported me.
Thanks mom, for always believing in me (though I’m sure you must have had some doubts as I’d had throughout the past semester).
Thanks Li Shya, for supporting me throughout [...]
The Prejudice Against Age 2008-07-09 07:56:46 Being relatively young, I’ve never really given much thought to if and why older workers tend to be laid off first during an economic downturn. Perhaps due to the availability heuristic, the technical term referring to the assignment of higher probabilities to events more easily recalled, I seem to recall it being so.
I’m currently [...] Read more:Prejudice
The Six Pack Ab Day #17 2008-08-06 18:34:03 My knee still doesn’t seem to have fully recovered, having been injured way back earlier in the year while playing football (not aided by continuing my running after the fact). After my run a few days back, my knee’s hurting; and though not hurting as badly as the previous time, it’s certainly enough to make [...]
Simplification 2008-08-06 03:32:43 edonn.com is approaching a new era. After the first of November, I’ll no longer be hosted by MediaTemple. As great as they’ve been these past couple of years, I’ve found that having your own domain and some web-space just doesn’t justify paying [as much as I am paying] right now.
I haven’t really been able [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #15 2008-08-04 19:30:58 It’s been a good past few days. My waist measurement’s slightly below 30″ (but closer to 30″ than anything else) and my weight’s slightly below 70kg (but, again, closer to 70kg than anything else).
Food-wise, the main difference between here (in Perth) and Singapore has definitely been the smaller dinners and the lack of snacking [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #14 2008-08-03 18:30:50 I have just come back from a run. Woke up at the unholy hour of six in the morning. Me and Wei Hao froze our asses off running to the Swan Brewery; temperature was a ridiculous five degrees Celsius. Running halfway through I found great difficulty even breathing!
Now my hands are still numb from the [...]
The Last Cup of Coffee 2008-08-02 22:20:21 And she’d asked me to make her a cup of coffee, and I’d oblige.
And as I poured the boiling water, I’d think to myself, “this could be the last time I’m doing this.”
Eventually, enough times passed to ensure that the actual time it was the last was lost in the sea of could bes.

I Shall Be Me 2008-08-02 11:18:07 Put me on an Island;
Lock me in a cell;
Bring me to Heaven;
Bring me to Hell;
Places don’t matter;
Nor do the people;
Things will not affect me…
Okay, maybe a little.
But today is my day
And I will be free!
I shall not be stopped –
I shall be me.
The Six Pack Ab Day #12 2008-08-02 09:54:41 I’ve lost another a quarter inch off my waist now, with my abs measuring 30.25″. I currently weigh 70kg.
This, of course, is good news. The past few days I’ve been a little bothered about the apparent lack of progress, even with the cutting down on the “bad” foods that I more frequently (but not [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #11 2008-08-01 08:31:00 I’m more or less recovered from the flu, and will resume running this Monday (at long last!) Wei Hao’s been bugging me about when we’re starting our training for the coming City to Surf run (which is happening on the 31st of August, and as of now we’re going for the 10km one as I’ve [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #9 2008-07-30 00:20:09 I’m still recovering from the bout of flu, though I think there’s really not many days left of “recovery” before I considered myself “recovered”.
The past couple of days have been spent really settling down, and as such not much thought has been put into maintaining my six pack abs goal, save for the cutting [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #8 2008-07-28 08:38:25 Six pack ab day #7 was skipped due to my being too lazy to write anything after touching down in Perth. Ha.
I’m currently suffering from the flu, not too bad a case but enough to put me off exercise for the next few days, though I’m also eating less due a case of a loss [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #30 2008-08-19 18:39:29 My current waist measurement’s at 29-3/4″, and weight’s hovering around the 69-70kg mark. I suppose these measurements don’t really show you the real picture, as much as showing my real picture would. I am a little reticent to upload my picture now, for one thing the lighting’s really bad, and for another my bout of [...]

Beyond Oneself 2008-08-17 00:28:07 Taken from the book Good to Great, by Jim Collins:
David Maxwell, like Darwin Smith (ex-CEO Kimberly-Clark) and Colman Mockler (ex-CEO Gillette), exemplified a key trait of Level 5 leaders: ambition first and foremost for the company and concern for its success rather than for one’s own riches and personal renown. Level 5 leaders want to [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #24 2008-08-13 21:18:41 I haven’t written for a while.
Weight’s currently 70kg, while waist measures 29-3/4″.
I’ve gone on a volume-intensive push-up routine, cranking up push-ups to about two to three hundred a day. Of course, this is spread-out, so I’m doing between 10 and 50 each set.
I’m still doing my strength training, though haven’t been as religious [...]
The Six Pack Ab Day #19 2008-08-08 19:22:24 My current weight’s 69.5kg and my waist measures 29.5″! I’ve got back to my pre-Singapore weight and waist measurement, which is just fantastic!
Yesterday I did strength training, while the previous day was a rest day. I actually skipped a day of exercise; it was supposed to be strength training on Thursday, but my muscles were [...]
