Dear gentlemen,
The much awaited Adventure Quest 2009 is only 1 day away. After tomorrow, it will be the big day for us. We have been waiting for this for 1 year already. Since our setback last year, we have continuously kept training, staying humble and toiling hard. It's time for your now to show your strength and gain your rewards. Regardless of the outcome after saturday's race, me and yongchen will still be proud of you guys. All the 15 of your who stuck through thick and thin, conquering obstacles after obstacles and pushing and stretching your endurance limit. I hope all your hard work will pay off come 4th April 2009.
I hope you guys are keeping yourself in good shape and having enough rest. Remember, the most important thing now is rest. Do not injured yourself tomorrow. Those having PE, try to refrain from playing soccer and basketball or things that might cause harm to you. You have all trained for 1 entire year and I'm sure you don't want your dreams to just go up in smoke. So, heed my advice and keep yourself healthy for tomorrow. We have already done our best, so the rest we just have to wait and see what outcome awaits us.
Adventure Quest is a race about a long term training basis, pivoting around physical and mental strength. So, there's no point training now or regretting that we haven't done our best. Come saturday, just unleash your potential and show them what 14th coy are made of. We must not be complacent, let me emphasise on this issue. Complacency will only be the downfall for us if we fail to guard it. Let's stay humble and maintain a positive attitude with one day remaining.
I'm sure all of your want to win the Adventure Quest, so just do your best and try to complete the race. No matter what, make sure your complete as a team. Adventure Quest is also about teamwork. Try not to pull your other man down, but at the same time, if you really cannot take it, do not push yourself too far. Safety is the first priority, bear that in mind.
With all that said, all the best to all of you participating in Adventure Quest 2009. We will do our best to clinch the champions and do our school and our company proud. Good luck and stay focus!

Augustine: 21min04s & 46min05s
Enoch: 21min05s & 46min03s
Alvin:31min21s & 46min09s

Dear Boys,
The ADVENTURE QUEST RACE 2009 is coming and u guys must not only rely on the AQ trainings but also train on your own or with your groups. Wednesday, attendance was good but there were some people that cannot come due to various reasons and to those who didn't come please pass me a letter of excuse etc. Here the timing for Wednesday training:
Groupings................TIME...................................... Avg.Speed............ Dist.
Yong Chen's Group:49mins...................................10.37km/h..............8.5
Qixin's Group: 51 mins ................................. 7.65km/h...............6.5
Wayne's Group: 49mins...................................10.37km/h..............8.5
Qixin's group did not follow the designated road and got lost, in the end they took the shorter road back to school. Anyway, there will be another mock race on the 16th march and a kayaking refresher for the AQ teams on the 24th of march, so pls keep this dates free.

Dear Gentlemen,
The Adventure Quest Race is drawing close. It's about 1.5 months away. There's not much time to slack already. Get serious with your attitude and start taking all trainings seriously. This is most probably the last time AQ will ever appear so do your best. Make BB14th coy proud by doing well.
17th Feb training was one of those trainings which I think your took too lightly. Many people skipped it, citing reasons, which were found to be false. Question yourself, do you really want to win the AQ'09? If you want, start attending all the trainings and don't find ways to skip it. If you don't work for it, it will never come true. I hope all of your will improve your attitude in the coming trainings.
Last but not least, here are the timings: (2.4km run at Bedok Stadium)
1. Jonathan Tay .................... 10.422. Yongchen ........................... 11.403. Glenn .................................. 11.554. Isaac ................................... 12.325. Fabian ................................ 12.336. Jason Siah ......................... 14.057. Enoch ................................. 15.548. Augustine .......................... 15.559. Qixin .................................. 16.019. Alvin Khoo ........................ 18.55Signing off,
