Work Day Gym Session 16/07/2010
I was unable to do a full-blown weights and cardiovascular session due to the fact I am just recovering from flu. I got off work on time around 6:00 pm. Subsequently, I got into the gym around 6:15pm and got off the gym around 7:30 pm.
Total time spent in gym = 1 hour 15 mins
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.5kmph and gradient = 0
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0kmph and gradient = 0
5 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.0kmph and gradient = 0 for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.90km jogged and around 780 calories burned.
I planned to hit the gym again this weekend for both weights training and cardiovascular sessions. It's good to be back doing weights again, I am truly excited to test my strength all over again.

Medical Leave Non Gym Session 14/07/2010
Medical Leave Non Gym Session 14/07/2010
I woke up early today and was having a bad flu since the day before. I went to the doctor to obtain a medical certificate. As such, I was therefore on medical leave today. After visiting the doctor, I decided to walk "Little Foot" at the park to clear my head.
Wednesday, 14/07/2010, light cardio session
45 mins walking with Little Foot around the park for 6 times
* Resulted in 120 calories burned and about 3.6km walked and jogged(estimated)
I hope to recover from my flu as soon as possible. I have to start my weights training regime as soon as possible. It has been almost 2 months since my last proper weights training routine.
Also, I have recently completed Borderlands and its downloadable contents ("DLCs"), which I purchased quite awhile ago . Here is a short review of the game. The game length was quite long as I have spent almost 50 hours playing thru the vanilla game as well as the DLCs.
Here are some screenshots of the game:
1. Start menu
2. In-game Borderlands title
3. Four playable characters to choose from
4. I decided to go with Brick
5. In game loading screen
6. Walking around early in game at level 7
7. Essential in any FPS, sniping
8. Meeting T.K Baha who gave me some missions to do
9. This is what happens when you complete a mission
10. Driving around is a lot faster than walking
11. Borderlands at night
12. Buying weapons and ammunition from a vending machine
13. Going berserk in game as Brick
14. Some girl who represents Atlas
15. Guess what was in the Vault?
16. The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned DLC
17. Spooky hospital
18. Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot DLC
19. A sample screenshot of Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot
20. The secret armory of General Knoxx DLC
21. Driving around with an Armored Personnel Carrier which feels more like a tank
22. Finally meeting General Knoxx who is pretty much insane like the rest of the cast in this game
*I played this game using a keyboard and mouse combo as intended for First Person Shooters ("FPS")
I completed the vanilla game and its DLCs within 47 hours of casual playing. This is a First Person Shooter which incorporates looting and grinding of Diablo-like games. From my point of view, the DLCs are definitely worth the cost and enhanced the gameplay of Borderlands.
Pros:
1. Funny and light-hearted story.
2. Awesome graphics, great sound effects and excellent voice over.
3. There is quite a bit of replayability in this game since you would want to achieve different endings
4. The game length decent around 50 hours for both the game and its DLCs.
5. One of the best Co-op game to play with your friends
Cons:
1. It takes a lot of grinding to get good loot and to be at higher level
2. Ending is crap
3. Graphic wise could use some AA
4. Gets boring playing alone
My verdict for this game is 8.5 out of 10. I definitely would recommend anybody who is a fan of the FPS as well as Diablo. This is definitely an entertaining game to play with your friends. While it is not what everything one could hope for in a FPS, it was a decent mixed of two very different genres (ie. FPS and action RPG).

Weekend Non Gym Session 11/07/2010
Weekend Non Gym Session 11/07/2010
I woke up around 8 am today which is really early for a Sunday. Since I had nothing better to do and morning cardiovascular session sounded like a great idea, I took Little Foot for a walk in the morning. Although I am significantly tired from my previous gym session on Friday, I buckled up and took Little Foot for a walk.
Here are the stats of this walk:
Sunday, 11/07/2010, double cardio sessions
Morning session
35 mins walking with Little Foot around the park for 4 times
* Resulted in 100 calories burned and about 2.4km walked and jogged(estimated)
Evening session
35 mins walking with Little Foot around the park for 4 times
* Resulted in 98 calories burned and about 2.4km walked and jogged(estimated)
Due to my busy schedule these days, I do not have sufficient time to put photos / screenshots or game reviews on my blog. However, I do hope that I can find time to hit the gym more frequently. Preferably, thrice per week at the minimum.

Annual Leave Gym Session 06/07/2010
Annual Leave Gym Session 06/07/2010
I needed a break today, so I decided to have a day off myself. It has been several months since my last annual leave. Due to the fact, I only had one gym session last week, I decided that I shall pull one gym session today.
I got into the gym around 4pm and got of the gym around 5:30pm.
Total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 30 mins.
My workout routine as follows:
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.5kmph and gradient = 0
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0kmph and gradient = 0
5 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.0kmph and gradient = 0 for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.88km jogged and around 775 calories burned.
I will probably pull another gym session tomorrow as I have been slacking in my weight training sessions. It 's been almost two months since my last weight training sessions and I am really eager to do one as soon as possible.

Work Day Gym Session 29/06/2010
Work Day Gym Session 29/06/2010
Fantastic, it has been one week since my last gym session. Not only that, I totally skipped the Standard Chartered marathon thanks to work. As such, I decided that today I gotta do some jogs as I am really stressed and ticked off due to my work.
I got into the gym around 8pm and got of the gym around 9:20pm.
Total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 20 mins.
My workout routine as follows:
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.5kmph and gradient = 0
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0kmph and gradient = 0
5 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.0kmph and gradient = 0 for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.78km jogged and around 768 calories burned.
I really need to a weight session soon as I am getting really rusty at my weight training regime. I need to regain my loss strength and maintain my fitness.

Work Day Gym Session 22/06/2010
Again, I was unable to do a full-blown weights and cardiovascular session due to time constraint. I got off work on time around 7:00 pm. Subsequently, I got into the gym around 7:15pm and got off the gym around 8:30 pm.
Total time spent in gym = 1 hour 15 mins
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.5kmph and gradient = 0
30 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0kmph and gradient = 0
5 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.0kmph and gradient = 0 for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.80km jogged and around 775 calories burned.
At the moment, I am totally not prepared for the Standard Chartered Marathon this Sunday. Thanks to working 6-7 days a week, I am now not only physically weak, I am also mentally weaker than usual.
