Law #5 : RICE works. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation

Law #6 : Run On a Level Surface

Law #7 : Don’t Race or Do Speedwork Too Often

Law #8 : Stretch The Back of Your Leg

Law #9 : Cross-Training provides Active Rest and Recovery

Law #10 : Get Shoes That Fit.

Side Track a bit. So have been busy recently due to school commitment. My final year project was exhibited in SPINOVEX 2010. Its a annual event showcasing students’ final year project. Last wednesday was the interview with industrial people, they are here to grade us and give comments on the project. Everything went rather smoothly. The exhibition was held for 4 consecutive days and weekend was burnt. Sunday was the closing ceremony and my project got into the silver award. I would say it was a bonus and my team felt a sense of achievement.

For this entire week, we got back our mid semster results and i did fairly. And my final year project supervisor wish to get our report on the project latest by next wednesday (20/01); and my team and i still rushing for it.

so well, these are my results for mid semester test:

Embedded Computer Systems – 73
Mobile Application Device – 82
Power System Analysis – 93
Power Distribution And Electrical Services – 94

I would not be posting as regular except for upcoming running events. As in 2 weeks time, I will be busy looking through university courses which i can go to and its a time to decide whether to join the workforce or continue to pursue my degree.

Till then, train hard and train well. Cheers
