The posting started on Tuesday (24/02/04) [mon is a public holiday] . arrived there at 9.00 am, we used a LRT b'coz the faculty does not provides a bus that day. welcomed by a cute and charming AP dr lim, he brief us what to do here. later, his assistant, ms sue git bring us around the place (tourlah). nice place and great facillities. they have a pool, gym, exercise physiology, counselling room etc.

at lunch time, we played basketball. with a tie a casula shoes i shut 3 balls. the game was great. this is a 1st time we played together within 5 years. actually we played like a net ball as most of the girls were net ball players. in the afternoon, was spent at the exercise physiology room. met mr patrick (canadian), he thought us how they assess the fitness of an athelete. limi offered to undergo the process. in a machine, with a running floor, she runs at the gradually increasing constant speed. her mouth was connected to a com where her O2 consumption and CO2 product can be measured. she got tired at stage 2 (ok lah for girls).
