宝宝游泳

刚过的周末,我带了我四个多月大的儿子去参加了一项宝宝游泳比赛。老实说,在新加坡并不常见这类似的比赛。试想想,参赛的宝宝有些只有一两个月大,有多少的父母会带他们多数时间还再熟睡的宝宝去学游泳呢?更别说是去比赛游泳。

不过话说回来,让小宝宝去游泳并不是一件很特别的举动。宝宝们本来一出世就会游泳。为什么我会那么说呢?别忘了宝宝在毋亲怀孕期时就是一直生活在水里。严格来说,生命的起源就是从水中开始。宝宝自有了生命,就在娘胎游了十个月的泳。有些产妇甚至选择了在水中分娩,就是不想让宝宝一出世就被那突如其来的转变而惊吓到。所以说宝宝本来就是一名游泳建将也不为过。

可是什么原因让那么多的宝宝失去了那有生具来的本能呢?

想想看,宝宝一出世之后,有多少机会,多少时间会接触到水?从想到看到触摸到说到跑,宝宝每一天都在学习中。跟据医学研究指出,那小小的脑袋一方面在成长,成型中(要到两岁过后才完全成型),一方面还得学习新的事物。试想一下,如果我们不尽早让宝宝接触游泳,小脑袋不就会把宝宝原有的泳术给忘了吗?

好了,可能是因为刚身为人父的关系吧,感触特别深。竟然不知不觉说那么多。如果我说让宝宝游泳还有许多益处的话,我想信会有更多的父母亲会开始让他们的宝宝早点接触游泳。不过不说了,要了解更多,自己上网"goggle"吧。

哦对了,请别因为看了我这篇"唠叨"就随随便便赶紧带您刚出世的宝宝,去大众似的泳池游泳。因为细菌的传播,水的"硬"度,深度和温度的关系,大众似的泳池是不适合宝宝的。当然我所说的泳池是个室内,有人监督宝宝,水深,水温都被控制的泳池。

到那里找?

有的。己经有人把这项宝宝游泳活动引进本国。我就是在那里让我宝宝游泳的。

唯一的感叹就是价格不便宜。不过要知道这世上多数的父母亲都有相同的愿望。。。"望子成龙,望女成凤"。任何对孩子有益或是能博宝宝一笑,我想信在我们能力范围之内,我们都会给于我们的孩子。

父母亲们,你们说对吗?

对了忘了说,我儿子已经成功进入来临周末的大决赛。儿子加油哦。

胜负是次要,开心最重要。爸爸永远支持你。

Swimming

I don't remember when is the last time I swam. Maybe a few years back. Nevertheless, I swam again today.


I have always promise my wife to go swimming with her one of these days. Yesterday she managed to "persuade" me to buy a new swimming trunk. And the next best thing she does today early in the morning... she managed to drag me out from my cozy bed into the swimming pool.


Praise the Lord, I still remember how to swim. :-)


Alright, not surprise at all, my wife swam much longer distance than me. In fact she swam double the distance. Come on, all the while she likes swimming, while I enjoy jogging. So no doubt, she can swim better than me. Anyway, is a good workout for me. I can really feel the stretch of my whole body after the swim.


Thank you dear, for "dragging" me into the pool today. But seriously, I don't mind laying on bed sleeping too... ;-P

2x Running B4 IPPT

Yes, I tried to make an effort to wake up earlier today to go jogging...

I'm on my feet again... ok lor... my legs still ache over the last run. What to do? 2nd trainning before my IPPT... left only 2 more days....

Wow... 1+1=2, 1x2=2, 2/1=2... no matter how I calculate, I still get 2. Tomorrow onwards I will not have any time to train... so that will means... great, today is my last trainning for the IPPT... Ahahah... the more I think of it, the scarier it becomes...

"shalom shalom... May the peace and strength of the Lord be with me."

okay, so how long and how fast I jog today :

Distance = 3.13Km
(hey, don laugh, at least better than last run lor, IPPT oni need 2.4Km)
Duration = 18 min
(Err... 2.4km needs at least 12:20 min to pass) ...

okay okay, I admit, by the time I reach 13 min, I think I only run till 1.9 km. :-P Veri slow, rite? sometime I also cannot tahan myself... How did I make it for the past IPPT... Grace grace, Glory be onto GOD !!!

Anyway when I finally reach the end of my run, was about to turn back, I saw my Brother-In-Grace. He was jogging with a group of his friends, trainning for his upcoming biathlon... Ahahah, he's trainning for his biathlon and here I am, still struggling for IPPT... Ahahahah...

okay, this is going to be the last time... (Think this is what I told myself every year ;-P)

Anyhow, I will go sign up for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (42Km) at the end of the year. I will make full use of this whole year for a good work out.

As my OC ever mention before during my army days... Man can lost to man, but don't ever lost his face (输人不输脸)...

So Brother-In-Grace, wait for me. I'll will chase up with you.
Cheers :-P

I'm Running Again !!!

Finally today I'm running again...

Not that I don't like to run, in fact jogging has always been one of my favourite exercise. Just that it has been rather busy for the past 2 months. (okay, I'm giving myself excuses again... I admit... Lazy is the word to use... :-D !!!) Nevertheless, the last run was more than 2 months ago. and TODAY... I just went for a run again around my house...

Wanted to run much longer, however it seem like my flu and cough has not fully recover. After running for about 2.13km (I calculated it from http://www.mapmyrun.com/), I can feel that one of my nostrils got stuck again and I almost wanted to vomit out.

Cannot make it right? For the past few days, been quite a busy and tiring days for me. However I do felt much better after the run. Exercise do helps. :-)

Okay, so why the sudden run? okay, the main reason is, I'm going for my reservist next week and I will need to go for my yearly IPPT again... :-D Let's me see... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6... oh no I'm left with 6 days to train for it.

Grace grace lar... I'm sure I can make it... coz I'm FIT !!!

GOD Bless ME !!! :-)

Running

Yes, after 10 month of "FREEZE" run... I finally get my feet back on the track again.

Initial thought is that I can run much longer, however after running for a Km, it started to rain a "tiny" bit. So running for another maybe 300m, when it started to become a little heavier, I decided to turn back... When I reach back... haha, think the rain decided not to pour... 2.25 Km is all I run. It actually took me around 15min for a slow jog like this.

Think ok lar, since it is the 1st jog after so long. ;-P Sound like I'm giving myself an excuse for shortening the route... haha.


Btw, this is the 1st time I wear my new NIKE shoe for a jog. Cool. A full "air" padded sole. Really makes a different. I can feel the bounce when I run.


It's a NIKE. ;-P

Mmm... in case anyone ask me how I get my distance... just logon to "www.mapmyrun.com".
