A Victory that finally comes...

June 19 2008... the same day in which I spent the morning in the office reading up the "New Start" chapter of the Human Revolution, to prepare for the sharing at the upcoming ITAC prayer meeting.

I finally pass my IPPT in the same afternoon where particularly, I break my personal best in 2.4km run and of course, overcoming the "karma" of failing pull-ups . Many people may think that passing IPPT is like kind of chicken feet, but to me, it's a breakthrough in my life of recent years. For the past years, besides playing some football, overall my fitness is bad, and I don't even bother to go to gym for workout. It's the start of the 2008 that I enter gym on a weekly basis in a bid to improve my fitness and build my body. It was just late last year when I score a big fat ZERO in pull-ups without putting much effort but now I manage to do 6 pull-ups at one go. As for running, I endure my way up to complete that 6 rounds of run, with chanting of daimoku through my heart and thinking of all those positive things that may happen ahead and those blunders that happened in my past which inspires me NOT to lose this time.

While passing IPPT is just a first step to promotion as SGT (That's still a SGT course to go through for the first 2 weeks in July) and the first step to one of my resolutions of my "personal quadruple" to be achieved in August, it is not the end of my workout in gym. I will still be continuing to work out in gym and also attempting to improve the number of pull-ups. Meanwhile, I am thinking of playing some sports with fellow colleagues besides going gym during lunch hours, badminton or football anyone ?

Tomorrow's the first Combined Rehearsal of NDP. It will be a long day but it must be fun too. Meanwhile, hope to see my friends who are in the matching contingent of SCDF.
