Hey everyone,

I guess the cat is out of the bag in a sense. For those that are closer to me, you will know I've been training hard to join this year's My Paper Executive Look, a tournament that promotes looks as well as a good outlook on life. My sister, Jacyln took 2nd place last year and was best communicator as well. As she is an author and works for Nike, it got loads of free advertisement for her new book (coming out in May, "The Chick, the Parent and the Wardrobe) as well for her company. $5,000 + HTC Phone + numerous endorsement shoots helps alot too!

Read about Joseph roughly halfway down the article

She has convinced me to join this year's tournament, and this would give SC2 and e-Sports community a ton of spotlight if I were to place highly in this tournament. This is where I would like encouragement from the SC2SEA community!

1) When the tournament is announced, I need the community to tweet and blast this out, cause it is a popularity contest to a degree.

2) I was a lean, green, fighting machine when I was in army at 65kg. 8 years later, I am hovering at close to 90kg which is depressing. Since training, I am now at 84kg and my goal is to hit as low as possible before my application to this tournament on Feb 1st.

So lets make a deal. Help me and help the SC2 out! For every $1 donated to the SC2SEA tournament fund, I will run a lap around the NIE 400m track (just don't like.. donate $100. I'll just die..) in my bid to lose weight and help the community fund

In return, I pledge 50% of my potential winnings in this tournament towards SEA-wide tournament prize pools (in cash) through MSS

Hope you support me as I find time to balance work, MSS, tournament runnings, overseas trips AND training for this!

Swimming is just as good, no need to run every time you know. I mean sure running is good, but if you really prefer swimming over running then swimming should appear somewhere in your training regime.

Brultze · Thu, 20th-Jan-2011, 6:45 PM

GLGL HD!!! I would donate like $10 but i have no paypal

mGMUSE · Thu, 20th-Jan-2011, 7:28 PM

sunsetkid · Sat, 22nd-Jan-2011, 7:03 PM

thumbs up. closing date feb 9! i watch yr stream when i'm free.
do u have to pass ippt yrly as well? don't talk about competitions, even passing ippt yearly is getting difficult as the years go on.

**HDPhoenix** · Mon, 24th-Jan-2011, 1:43 AM

Going for a run tomorrow and going to do a Vlog about it. Oxygen, you better be ready to cough up some $$$ for the community fund ^^. Like $2 cause I'll probably die after 1 round, lulz

**HDPhoenix** · Mon, 24th-Jan-2011, 10:24 PM

*update*

So I ran 5 laps so far before I had to quit... Boy am I out of shape. Brultze has kindly donated $10 and Usul $20 so I have 25 laps to go... Oxygen, you also mentioned you'll chip in, eh?

Vlog of my runs to come ^_^

Brultze · Mon, 24th-Jan-2011, 10:27 PM

so HD got 10 km to run

. GL in it

HDPHOENIXX FIGHTING!!!!!

Zeion · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 12:12 PM

nix~ as a PTI (2 yrs back) a tip for u.. given that you love swimming more den running, u can swim to lose weight =D

if u are to run 5km, do double in your swim (freestyle) clock each lap within a certain time of a comfortable pace and with each session try to reduce the timing by seconds.. but i believe u will be chao ta after 1 wk.. lol.. i been there with my PES BPs so.. i assure u that this will work..

my biggest success loss was 120kg to 70kg.. but HE'S REALLLLLY hardworking... and of cos.. having that much time to spare since it's NS period..

anyways... on 29th sat, u will be at Collo?

sunsetkid · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 1:05 PM

hey phoenix, maybe you can try for IPPT gold as well. its a confirmed $400 payout, and also quite challenging.
last time when i was in NS, my CSM used to say that only about 10-20 percent of NSFs get gold. And only 10 percent of those with gold maintain it into their reservist years.

if you get a gold as reservist at age 30, its top 1% of the cohort. more exclusive than master league in starcraft 2 terms!

Zeion · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 1:49 PM

usually pull up and running is the one that kills reservist during ippt... lol..

sunsetkid · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 3:27 PM

hm yes. i have a serious problem with running. last time nsf no problem at all. but when reservist, slip to silver, then this year drop to just pass only. those 6 rounds are a torture.

Zeion · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 3:36 PM

sunset... you are a doc.. -.- steriods is easy access to u...

**HDPhoenix** · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 3:38 PM

Zeion: Will definitely try that!

Sunset: I was gold in army. Heck, my entire platoon was gold cause we were scouts and not having it was shame.. Our PC was rough. But yes, I shall go for it ^^ Even at 30 yrs old

sunsetkid · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 3:52 PM

zeion: hey, those steroids most docs give aren't useful for running. anabolic steroids are quite hard to come by leh. but a couple of panadols to reduce pain and asthma inhalers may shave a few secs off.

phoenix: u armour too? scouts always the fittest in the battalion! i was 40sar in my nsf days. now i'm 31. old. and cannot run already..haha

sunset: erm.. but is it still within your means to access anabolic roids? *hint hint*

**HDPhoenix** · Tue, 25th-Jan-2011, 4:07 PM

I wish I was armor recee... No, I was infantry... =((((

**HDPhoenix** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 12:24 AM

BIG BIG SHOUTOUT to Usul for passing me $50 USD and Zeion for passing me $5 towards the community fund and my drive to lose weight! So far, I've dropped roughly 7kg since Christmas through the routine Skybreaker worked me through. I'll keep my fitness program going and come support me if I make it into the Rof16 for MyPaper Executive Look!!

**JacziE** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 12:56 AM

$10 when I see you again!

**HDPhoenix** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 1:08 AM

Hahaha.. well.. I'm going to be suuuuper fit after this

So far I've ran 18 rounds on the track and swam 20 laps (worth 10 rounds) the other day so...

Usul: 65 + Zeion: 5 + JacZie 10 = 80

So I have another 52 rounds to go or 104 laps!! Hahaha, well, first thing tomorrow then =) If only it just stops raining

**nirvAnA** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 1:18 AM

omg that is alot of rounds! sheep passed me the $50 + 5 today

Added to the pool!!

**nirvAnA** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 1:19 AM

btw awesome donation of 50 by usul who had already donated 20 earlier on!

OxygeN · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 10:19 AM

Alright i will chip in! which email do i credit the paypal with?

OxygeN · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 10:24 AM

nvm i only got $4 left in my paypal. ill pass it to nirvana the next time i meet him!!

**HDPhoenix** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 12:34 PM

Usul's donation was 50 USD so that's like 65 SGD? Give or take a few cents

Brultze · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 5:43 PM

CRAP! I forgot to pass you $10 HD T_T

lomielisk · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 6:55 PM

sound like funs. lol

**Usul** · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 7:09 PM

Haha, it's actually pretty fun to make someone else suffer

I gave USD mostly because the donation through paypal is in USD. I also plan to give 20USD monthly to help out the community (and to cripple my cigarettes budget at the same time). The 50 were actually for December and January, I added 10 extra just to make Joseph suffer more on the track, kekeke.

Zeion · Tue, 1st-Feb-2011, 9:10 PM

**HDPhoenix** · Wed, 2nd-Feb-2011, 3:25 AM

Updated with a Vlog about my running, as promised =)

and did 12 laps worth of running. Many many more left =_=

Brultze · Thu, 24th-Feb-2011, 10:31 PM

soooo... howd this go?

**HDPhoenix** · Fri, 25th-Feb-2011, 1:07 AM

Not so good because I was suppose to be interviewed BEFORE my trip to Thailand and they said they would make an exception for me. Then 2 days before my trip, they told me they can't have an earlier interview "in order to be fail to those who could make the interview date".

=_=;; Well, I will still and am still runnning/swimming to finish off the donations for this. Thanks everyone for the support and sorry that I couldnt compete in this. Was out of my hands =(

**iM tgun** · Fri, 25th-Feb-2011, 2:50 PM
