YEE SANG + ALCOHOL + ANGPAU - [ Relative Visiting ] = A friggin' Happy Man

Albert Einstein was perhaps the most famous scientist in the world. One of the many things that made him famous was the discovery of the formula E = mc2. He realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter. Through this he created the Atomic bomb which subsequently led to the surrender of Japan, ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II.

Just like how Albert Einstein gained worldwide fame, I intend to do that with the above formula during this festive season. I believe that each man is the same when it comes to Chinese New Year following this equation. Since the world's population is estimated to be at 6.756 billion and China only is estimated at 1.334 billion, not including the other Chinese in different countries, the illegal Chinese, the half mixed Chinese and people trying to be Chinese, I must say that the world will soon be taken over by Chinese People. Hopefully, a rich businessman/investor stumbles upon this blog in search of fitness and read this, believes in this equation and then sells it off to a prestigious university for research and I gain royalty money.

Anyways, forgetting this big load of rubbish, I would just like to wish each and everyone of you on behalf of the entire Pushmore Team, A very blessed and Happy Chinese New Year. Its been a great start to a new year where I feel that more deeper relationships are being build with each one of you. I thank you personally for adding value into my life and that you enjoy yourself thoroughly this week.

Drink Wisely and Drive Carefully.

Here's some insight from Coach Glassman(CrossFit's founder) on the intent of CrossFit:

"CrossFit is in large part derived from several simple observations garnered through hanging out with athletes for thirty years and willingness, if not eagerness, to experiment coupled with a total disregard for conventional wisdom. Let me share some of the more formative of these observations: 

1. Gymnasts learn new sports faster than other athletes. 

2. Olympic lifters can apply more useful power to more activities than other athletes. 

3. Powerlifters are stronger than other athletes. 

4. Sprinters can match the cardiovascular performance of endurance athletes even at extended efforts. 

5. Endurance athletes are woefully lacking in total physical capacity. 

6. With high carb diets you either get fat or weak. 

7. Bodybuilders can't punch, jump, run, or throw like athletes can. 

8. Segmenting training efforts delivers a segmented capacity. 

9. Optimizing physical capacity requires training at unsustainable intensities. 

10. The world's most successful athletes and coaches rely on exercise science the way deer hunters rely on the accordion."

Dearest Pushmormons,

Greetings from Hong Kong!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL MY FELLOW PUSHMORMONS !

Johnson and I are very proud of each one of you for making 2008 a great year with your warmth friendship and passion shown in all the things that you do in life. Last year was an extraordinary year in which we met countless number of amazing individuals that came through the Pushmore Doors. Each one of you are very special and you brighten up our days in your own respective ways. We are very glad to have all of you in the gym and we look forward to spending more days together, working out, reaching our goals, getting fit, looking better ( well that's already reached by me) , joining more races and just growing and expanding our friendship.

Today is the second day of the new year, so I hope that all of you have your goals that you would want to achieve this year. Do not rush into it. Take your time to think really hard of what you would want and exactly a year's time from now, when you look back, you can proudly say that you have achieve that through hardwork, dedication, discipline and whole lot of LABOR ! This also applies to other things in your life and just not fitness. Remember that is a whole lot more to life than just being fit or getting a Fran time of sub 3 minutes. ( Thats me )

Its the beginning of the year and I dont want to sound like a naggy mother. However it is always important to plan because just like what the saying is " If you fail to plan, you plan to fail" I'm sorry, i'm doing the naggy mother thing again. Anyways, we would be coming home soon and we would be going through your goal books with you. If you do not have one, I suggest you get going!

Spotchecks will be conducted starting from the 13th of January !

To Jonathan, Thank you for the great opportunity and chance of working in such a wonderful environment that you have been greatly responsible for. Its been rewarding both mentally and physically. Your genuine passion for crossfit captivates us just like how you instantly connect with everyone else. Thank you for showing us how to drive forward towards our dreams and thank you even more for willing to take us along with you. It is a great honour and pleasure to work on it together with you.

Not forgetting Lynn, Thanks for being there to share your experience and showing us commitment and spirit, cheerfulness and how to be a MONSTER in WODs. Never have we felt so inferior to a female physically.

Once again, a big thank you that none of you can imagine from us again. We look forward to another exciting year with every one of you!

Love,
The Oei Brothers.
