Did you receive good health this year? Is it a good financial year for you this year? Your family members still fit and healthy? Do you need to worry about your 3 meals a day? I hope you are having a good year, just like me i had a awesome year!

I am really grateful for all the money, friends, food and opportunity that i had this year. It is really a changing point for me this year. I am not sure about you, but before i was a workaholic, spending long hours working, trying to chase money and get myself out of the rat race. Building business after work, spending time networking and by the time i got home my dad is already asleep, sometimes he will wait for me to get back but i will be too tired to talk to him. Next morning, i will be up and rushing off to work and my life continues. Not noticing that my dad has already age, and getting older. Till one day when he injured himself at work, he ask me to send him to the doctor. He said he don’t know how long more he will be able to walk properly, he wish to see the world and hope we can bring him and spend more time with him.

I always thought that by earning more money now, i will get a better life for him in the future. Then i realize time wait for no one. When i get the money, what if he is no longer there. We work for money now and try to use money to buy back time in the future. It doesn’t work this way. Cherish what ever you have now, and don’t have any regrets in the future. It was really a wake up call for me. I lost my mum when i was 16, death just came and took her just like that, i don’t wish to repeat this mistake again. So now i am doing what i could to spend more time with him and also not forgetting the people who i never met!

japan with family — So this year i bring my dad to japan! Really happy to see the other side of him. How much money also cant buy the smile on my family face! Okay my sister not smiling, but i know she is happy, its the sunlight too bright. 😉

Also to give back to people i have not met! Recently i joined the 50Cube to raise funds for Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home (LAMH)

is a nursing home established in the mid-1960s. Currently, the nursing home caters to 110 needy and sick who are normally those who are unable to care for themselves or cannot be cared for in their own homes. They are admitted into the nursing home if they need daily skilled nursing care and/or assistance in activities of daily living and they have no caregiver to look after them at home. LAMH pursues a focused differentiation strategy where it firmly caters to the low-to-middle income group, targeting mainly families who are of the sandwiched class and unable to receive government subsidises. The heart of the strategy lies in staying true to the philosophy of top priorities on affordability and personalized eldercare for the residents.

They really need our support, if you can do visit their site or you can drop by their place and have a look! here

Charity Run : Craze Ultra 2015 101km Fundraising for Singapore Cancer Society

Craze Ultra 2015 indeed a crazy experience for us. Going non stop for 100KM for 24hours and finally we are certified nuts! A great experience overall and my first time trying to raise funds for Singapore Cancer Society while doing something i love!

I have always been a fitness junkie and been keeping myself fit for the past say 6 or 7 years! I always think that having a healthy body is important other than looking good, what can i do with this body? So MAD came along and share with me her idea of doing this CRAZE ULTRA to raise awareness and raise funds for Singapore Cancer Society!

Didnt expect that i will be raising funds for Cancer Society one day and becoming a charity athlete today. My mum passed away due to cancer when i was 16, i was thankful for all the help i received during that period of time. However i never had any thought that i could be giving back to the society today. Universe is such a powerful thing and i believe everything will come to you at the right place and right time. We just have to be patience.

So here we are doing the craze ultra, more photo below.

More run to come? Of course! More charity events to come for sure!

7 crazy people skip 12 hours non stop, for what?

Hi, thank you for dropping by my humble blog, we are a group of fun loving, crazy people who thinks that everyone can make a difference to help another person! I believe that fitness is a powerful tool, that not only can keep you fit but also build a community which is strong and giving! So i am hoping that this community will grow and we can do more and help more people one at a time!

This time round we are grateful to be invited to do a crazy 12 hours non stop skipping challenge to raise food hampers proudly sponsored by CP FOOD! Our individual goal is to hit 35,000 skips each. To be honest I dont skip often, only had 2 weeks of training before this, i tried to skip everyday for 30min to prepare myself for this. Cause i am a strong believer that its not how pro you are but how willing you are to give!

With the awesome team of crazy people before the skipping starts! Skipping is really not a easy task for us, especially for the 5 of us in the center as what we focus mainly on is weights lifting training, endurance isn’t really our thing but i am glad we pull this off as a team and hit a total of 250,000 skips! The whole team together with the lovely kids in total raised 4100 cp food hamper to provide for the needy!

The event is open to schools Kids and public on the day as well. 12 hours non stop relay! They did a great job too, we have more than 500 people in for the relay and most of them are from the public! Some of the public who didnt bring clothes when to buy, some skips barefooted and some skip in skirt! I am truly grateful that we are living in this loving world!

Wanna thank the CP Team and South East District for organizing this event! And to the team who took care of us during the skips. Specially wanna thank this lady who got me my coffee for my last burst to hit my 35,000 skips! THANK YOU!

Anyway guys, i will be participating in more charity events for sure! Like this September, MAD and me will be going for the 160km run! So if you wish to support us, or know of any company who is interested collaboration we will be glad to work something together! Thanks for reading and would appreciate if you could spread this message around! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOO! 😉
