Running for your lives

Author: Mattheus,MrCarLover1A133 // Category:

Run! For your lives! Yes I mean it literally.

We have been having weekly runs, which started last week. When I was young, I did not like(wait, "hated" seems more appropriate)running long distances. Why not?

1.) I feel that it drains my stamina level.
2.) I will feel very warm and sweaty after the run for the whole day.
3.) I will have leg cramps for the next couple of days.

I am sure that many people out there still share my sentiments.
"Running long distances is torture."
"It KILLS me."
"I hate it!"

My perspectives have changed over the year. In fact, running plays a role in keeping your body fit and healthy, and can reduce chances of death through bad health! Listed below are but a few reasons:

1.) Muscle and bone loss: Running actually helps prevent muscle and bone loss in your body
2.) Preventing Diabetes: Running helps to maintain a balance of carbohydrates and sugar in your blood, and hence, helps to diabetes.
3.) Strengthened immune system: Running aids in strengthening one's immune system, making you less prone to falling ill or contracting diseases.

And of course the list goes on. Of course, the basic reasons include weight loss and stamina building. It was really naive of me to think in the way I did when I was young. But who can blame a child who had little or knowledge just a few years ago?

The benefits of running to our bodies and health are numerous. We not only look good, but also feel good. Hence, the statement "Running for your lives" is without a doubt applicable to our daily lives.

Hate running? Think again.

Debut Post

Author: Mattheus,MrCarLover1A133 // Category:



Before my debut post, I shall just introduce myself a bit. Here are 10 random facts about me.

1.) I am a Christian.
2.) I love listening to music, particularly pop, country and R&B songs.
3.) My favourite singers are Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
4.) I love to cycle.
5.) I hate horror movies and ghost stories.
6.) My best friend(s) are my parents. They know all my secrets.
7.) I am crazy about cars and handphones.
8.) Other than Chinese and English, I am learning German and Malay.
9.) My parents do not drive and hence, I feel that being able to own a car is a privilege.
10.) I love blogging. :D

Ok, so that's it about me. These are not really the most important parts of me but just the few that are at the top of my head right now. Like I said, random.:D

Let's talk about 2010 for my debut post. I can safely say that 2010 has been pretty smooth for me so far. That's probably because nothing much around me has changed, so there is no need for adjustment, unlike last year when the stress hit me really hard. I enjoy going to school. And I am happy with my life. However, the introduction of the Future School Programme has made things slightly more difficult for me. Why is that so?

1.) First and foremost, the learning pace has increased. Significantly.
2.) Lots of research and pre-class preparation has to be done. Especially for Maths and History.
3.) The number of temptations around me have increased. Namely, the game Mousehunt.

My resolutions?

1.) Always ask when in doubt.
2.) Don't find time to slack.
3.) To quit Mousehunt. (It's gonna be difficult but I'll try.)

Wish me all the best! All the best to everyone else too! Let's strive together for good results :D
