Joke ~ I'm Schooling

Damn!

The the only thing I have over him is that I am currently 1 cm taller at 1.83 cm. 

Back in the day, when I enlisted in the army, I was measured at 1.85 cm, but the short girl measuring me had her ruler slanting upwards, thus, giving me an extra 2 cm, and I did not correct her mainly due to vanity, but I'm over that now.

Some other things to note in this news. I also have cousins with this surname, Schooling which is quite unique. My dad kept telling me this story of my cousin's answer to this question every time when asked, 

"What's your surname?", 

to which the reply would be, 

"I'm Schooling", 

and that would cause the questioner to do a double take and ask the question again.

Hey Joseph Schooling, all the best in your quest for the Olympic medal in 2016.

Sports News Joseph Schooling sets sights on Olympic medal by ADELENE WONG Monday, 2013 Oct 21 http://www.todayonline.com/sports/schooling-sets-sights-olympic-medal http://www.todayonline.com/print/307961 Picture Caption: http://www.todayonline.com/sites/default/files/styles/photo_gallery_image_lightbox/public/15819098_0.JPG Singapore's Joseph Schooling (pictured) is now the 10th fastest swimmer in the men's 200m butterfly after setting a national record of 1min 56.27secs in the event's semi-finals at the 2013 FINA World Championship. But it was not enough to see him through to the final. TODAY FILE PHOTO. Click on Picture to enlarge Track record and progress in recent years have given him self-belief SINGAPORE — Ang Peng Siong came close in 1984 in Los Angeles, and Tao Li came closer five years ago in Beijing. Now, Joseph Schooling believes he can end Singapore’s wait for its first Olympic swimming medallist. Widely regarded as one of the brightest young talents, the 18-year-old, who is based in the United States, is now aiming to finish on the podium at the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. According to US swimming records last month, Schooling, who specialises in the 100m and 200m butterfly events, is ranked in the top-five with Americans in his age group. In the 100m fly, his time of 52.33secs is just behind 18-time Olympic champion Michael Phelps (51.10). He is also ranked third in 200m fly (1:56.27) and fifth in the 200m individual medley (1:59.99). Schooling, a final-year student at the Bolles School in Florida, told TODAY his track record and progress in recent years have given him that self-belief. “I have been steadily improving in my swimming over the past few years, so that is why I think I have a shot,” he said in an interview last week. “I want to bring glory to Singapore and win an Olympic medal in 2016 when I will be 21. Every competition is a stepping stone … I am getting closer (to my dream of winning an Olympic medal) every time I race.” Ang and Tao have come closest to winning Singapore its first Olympic medal in swimming. At the 1984 Los Angeles Games, Ang was ranked ninth overall in the men’s 100m freestyle after winning the event’s “B” final for the eight fastest swimmers outside of the final. Twenty four years later at the Beijing Olympics, Tao became the first Singaporean to reach a swimming final, finishing fifth in the women’s 100m fly final. Singapore have won four Olympic medals: A silver and two bronzes from table tennis and a silver in weightlifting. Schooling made his Olympic debut in London last year, but was distracted after an official ruled just minutes before his 200m fly heats that his cap and goggles were not approved for the Games, leading to a disappointing time of 1min 59.18secs, well below his then-personal best of 1:56.67. But he said “champions don’t make excuses” and vowed to bounce back. Since then, he has chalked up strong performances, including at the World Championships in Barcelona in July, where he lowered his own national 200m fly record to 1:56.27. At the London Games, Phelps won the 100m fly in 51.21, while South Africa’s Chad Le Clos took the 200m fly in 1:52.96, and Schooling is under no illusions about the difficult task ahead, saying there “needs to be a right balance” for all the moving parts to come together. One vital component is his application for deferment from National Service (NS) so that he can maintain his momentum to the 2016 Games. A spokesperson from Singapore’s Ministry of Defence confirmed on Friday that Schooling had “made a deferment request for NS”, but declined further comment until a Parliamentary sitting today, when the topic of providing a more flexible approach to NS enlistment for male athletes at their prime will be raised. Choosing a university with a suitable academic and swimming programme is also important for Schooling. Several American colleges are reportedly keen on him, with the University of California at Berkeley, University of Texas at Austin and University of Florida among those on his shortlist. In the meantime, preparations for the Dec 11-22 South-east Asian Games in Myanmar are on track as he aims to win all his seven events. Trained by Spain’s 1988 Olympic 200m breaststroke bronze medallist Sergio Lopez at Bolles, Schooling has added 4kg of muscle to his 1.82m tall frame to improve his speed. Said Schooling: “If I pace myself properly, I am confident of going a lot faster.” .

About Rugby-7s, Football-6s and Basketball

I've heard of Rugby Sevens, but this is the first time I've heard of Football Sixes.

I played a bit of Rugby and have always found it more exciting to watch than Football because in Football, there's a lot of waiting and passing around which is really boring to watch.

But 7-a-side Rugby (Rugby 7s) is even more exciting to watch when compared to the normal 15-a-side Rugby. It's almost comparable to Basketball with a lot of fast-paced, action-packed and intense excitement.

Although I've have not watched this Football 6s, I am quite sure that it would be as exciting to watch as Rugby 7s. 

It's also nice to know that Liverpool won.

I've learnt that ~ death can strike anyone at any time

Hi,

No matter... nevertheless... it's still best to try and stay healthy.

I've learnt that, "This just shows that 
death can strike anyone at any time. 

Somehow, it seems that it doesn't 
matter how fit or healthy you are."

Former silat world champion Abdul Kadir dies

By Safhras Khan and Gerard Wong

POSTED: 17 Aug 2013 4:27 PM

Kadir, who won the Match Male Class 'E' title at the 5th World Championships in Kuala Lumpur in 1997, died on Friday night, aged 40.

SINGAPORE - The Singapore sports community lost a former world champion on Friday night with the sudden death of retired silat exponent Abdul Kadir Ibrahim.

It is understood that the 40-year-old had collapsed after complaining of chest pains. He was running errands with his wife at the time, after going for a jog.

He was buried on Saturday morning and leaves behind six children, the youngest was born just under a month ago.

Kadir won the Match Male Class 'E' title at the 5th World Championships in Kuala Lumpur in 1997. Two years later, he won the gold medal in the same class at the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Brunei.

Singapore Silat Federation (SSF) chief executive officer Sheik Alauddin told TODAY that he is still reeling from the news about his friend who worked as a national coach for a few years after retiring from the sport.

"I received a call from a friend yesterday, and I was in disbelief when he told me the news," the 46-year-old former three-time world champion said, with a heavy sigh.

"And then, one by one, I kept getting calls and messages from friends with the same news. It is a very sad day for the Singapore silat family.

"This just shows that death can strike anyone at any time. Somehow, it seems that it doesn't matter how fit or healthy you are."

Former national fencer Nicholas Fang remembers Kadir as "a great sportsman" as well as "a really nice guy." They had travelled to a few editions of the SEA Games together as part of the Singapore contingent during the late 1990s.

"He was a very fierce competitor but off the mat, he was very warm, genuine and always smiling," said Fang who is now the president of Singapore Fencing and a Nominated Member of Parliament.

Sheik said he will meet up with the SSF Council to discuss what forms of support the national sports association can provide for Kadir's family.

100 Metres (2012 Olympics)

Here is Usain Bolt.

Question 1: How long does it take to run 100m?
Answer 1: Only 9.63secs.

Question 2: What does the Sign of the Cross actually say or what does it mean?
Answer 2: It could mean... that... "I'm a Catholic... I'm just a mere human being, a creature and God is my creator... I recognize that I am a sinner just like everyone else because Jesus came for sinners like me... and if I do great in this race... it's because he created me... and for that... I am very grateful... and if don't win... I will be a good sportsman and will congratulate the winner"... it could mean this... maybe.

Hurdler's Training ~ Over Hurdle Bar Under High-Jump Bar

I remember my school Athletic Coach training our school Hurdlers to jump over the hurdles while keeping their heads under the High-Jump Bar. He explained to us that this will save the Hurdlers running time taken away from the ground and thus, improving their speed in the Hurdle Events.
