Men’s Health (Nov 07)

 

Josiah, 101 Ways to Cheat Death? Red Hot Sex Secrets? Just kidding. That was not the article was about.

Introducing the best ever title, “Survival of the Foetus Fittest”. You can always count on writer Kenneth Tan to come up with such quirky lines. That picture on the right was recently taken during the Asian Championships at Bangkok.

This picture was taken during the Athens Olympics 2004.

Introducing StevenSunny from Blackstage Gallery, who made me up. Covered my broken collarbone scar and put foundation on my face.

Did I forget to mention, oil too? Here’s the end result. Flabs or muscles, you decide. I really wasn’t at my best, at that time of the year. Sprinters tend to be “beefier”.

Yup, I’m on every newstand. Grab a copy of Malaysian Men’s Health at your nearest dealer for only RM10.00 per copy. If you’re kind enough, you may buy it, read it, and then don’t discard it but donate it back to me. To donate to me, contact press@josiahng.com

Thanks Kenneth for a great write-up, StevenSunny for hair and make-up and Hilal for the make-up.

Perth Grand Prix

Perth went quiet well.  It was a very long day but I came back content with how I rode.  I qualified 4th in the sprints with a 10.60, tied with Matt Crampton of GB.  Chris Hoy qualified first in front of Mark French and Ross Edgar.  In the first round I faced off against  Matt.  I controlled from the front and coming in a lap to go he made his move and we dragged raced through the back straight.  I lost it on the line so I think my finishing speed is a bit lacking. I’ll have to work on that in the next few weeks.  In the team sprint, I joined the two Aussies,  French and Leonard against the Brits.  It was going quiet well when Frenchy pulled off for me to take over but Joel couldn’t finish it off.  The keirin final was a quality field of 7 including the current world champion, Chris Hoy and World bronze medalist, Ross Edgar, Mark French,  Joel Leonard, 2000 World Champion Jan Van Eidan, and Matt Crampton, and myself.  It was a fight for the motor from the start as everyone wanted to be up front.  The pace was high from the get go.  The motor must have pulled off at close to 60km/h.   With two to go, Jan made the first move from the back.   I was in fourth position.  With 200m to go I made my move on the outside and threw my bike at the line, just missing out on 2nd place, French.  Chris Hoy crossed the line first in a convincing win.   I think I’m in good form leading up to the world cup season and I can hardly wait for more action!
