Ruby Tuesday

Yesterday was pretty busy so i decided to go to Ruby Tuesday for a good dinner.





Just felt this lamp was quite old-feeling so i took it.



The water was provided and we ordered the megasize drink (the pink one behind), very tasty and the oringinal price is $92. But i have a discount coz i have the BOC credit card.



This was very nice taste, especialy the white source on the left side that i duno the name. Just the cheese was a bit sticky.

I forgot to sh0ot the cheese beef pasta, oh my god.

BMX dinner at Sai Kung



Dinner with Alex, Steven, and Frank (Steven's BMX coach) at Sai Kung. Pretty much ppl in that restaurant and we decided to sit outside. Um.....the salad there was tasty and huge. I just had one and another cheesecake and then i was so full. Steven tried to draw a BMX track on the paper but seems unsuccessful. Alex was drawing but i can hardly recognize what he was drawing.

Steven will go to mainland for the all city games and i hope he will do well and come back with a medal.

Alex will continue his hard gym training tomo without my supervision coz i will have my annual leave til 24th Oct. During the holidays i have to prepare myself for the ACSM exercise specialist exam.

Alex update

This handsome boy was leg pressing 120kg 1 month ago, and now is 240kg. YES 240kg!!And his peak power from SRM cycling machine improved from 1400W to 1650W, which is >15% improvement.


The left one is Alex, and the right one is Kaka from AC Milan. 90% similar.




Gym training at CUHK

Yesterday went back to CUHK and had gym training with ar wah and Jim. I cant remember the last time we trained together, at least one year i think.

The training was good and we all exhusted after 3 hrs workout. Here are the exercises we trained:

snatch (40kg)

bench press (70kg)

lat pull down (10)

bent-over row (50kg)

full squat (80kg)

dumbbell arm curl (35lbs on each side)

dumbbell chest fly (25lbs on each side)

dumbbell chest press (70lbs on each side)

we were doing the py protocol and the weights stated above were on the heaivest set:

1st set: 12 reps
2nd set: 10reps
3rd set: 8 reps
4th set: 6reps
5th set: 12reps

This is an informal training compared with that i used to have in HKSI. But i like this one becoz after every set we chat a lot and then the next set. Yea...we adjust the rest time by our perceived hardness.

We used to train like this 3-4 years ago, that was the most tiring but enjoyable time i have ever had in the gym (as an exerciser, not coach).

Today my traps (especially T2 muscle from snatch), upper chest, and hip adductor feel sore. Other muscles are ok. You know....usually i dont train my legs (my leg muscles are good and strength enough i think), but just a little bit workout with you guys as a training partner. I think i can go to 100kg next time for the full squat.

Will wait for the next happy training. And i will bring my most important training equipment with me, i.e. my 3yr-old glove.

Table tennis updates

The updated world rank of Tang Peng is 22 (was 26), and that of Zhang Rui is 21 (was 24).

Zhang Rui saved the HK team in the 2007 World Team Cup 2nd round by winning her 2 single matches vs BLR (where Tie Yana was performing not very well and lost her single).

Zhang Rui saved the team again in the 3rd round with AUT which she beat Liu Jia in the single and won the double that she played with Tie Yana.

記 十.一國慶

十.一國慶
公眾假期

華家堡足球隊早上還要跑步訓練。十點準時在宿舍集合,分組後三小組各自出發。我則駕著車從後趕上,一路上我看到很多人到這裡遊玩,與球員辛苦跑步的樣子成了強烈對比。

回程時,大家都很累,但沒有一個人停下來。情景很令人感動,訓練辛苦,但我們大家都向著同一個目標而努力,有著一班出生入死的隊友支持,我們還怕甚麼?還有甚麼不可能的事可以難到我們?我們有理想有衝勁,想証明自己的實力,想為香港足球出一點力。

引用兩句說話:

世上沒有不勞而獲的事,也沒有白流的血和汗。 陳曉明

很多人不放我們在眼內,但我們的目標卻是要他們大跌眼鏡。 李健和


不得不提的是今天連班主也一起跑步。對!我們就是一支上上下下都充滿衝勁的球隊。我們一定會在球場上把我們付出的一一拿回來,我們要把每場比賽的三分拿下來。一定可以!因為我們付出的比別人多。

來!我們下一場要全取三分,打開勝利的道路。


This is my last sentence:

We have the right direction at the right pace with right people.

"好鋼用在刀刃上"



很有意思的一句話!


不是大卡士製作,也沒有靚仔靚女,但卻是近幾年來難得我認為的好電影。畫面很香港、製作很香港、風格很香港。片中帶出了一些香港的問題,但同時也重整了香港人的精神。

讚!
