Not a good one. Four major area of concern.
1. Full Blood Count (Haemoglobin i.e. Red blood cell) - LOW 11.5 (range 13-18)
All sub categories under full blood count are therefore low.
2. Low Lymphocytes and high Monocytes indicate White Blood Cell suggest infection/inflammation.
3. Liver function- High Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase of 85 (12-73)
4. Kidney Function- Urea Nitrogen high of 8.4 (2.5-6.5) and low Estimated GFR of 79 (>90)

With almost hundred of weapons in Fallout 76, here's my top weapons
1. Railway Riffle.
Surprisingly being the most powerful weapon in game, it is easy to get and easy to upgrade.
2. Fixer
My first main weapon that took a long time to 'mod' to my liking. Its powerful but not as smooth as I wish. Good for sneaky player like me.
3. Handmade
This weapon is very similar to fixer. It is slightly weaker but it is a lot more smoother.
4. Tesla Riffle.
A 'tag' weapon that is ideal for quest. Pretty powerful and has cool animation.
5. Cremantor
My only non-Commando build. I have yet to 'mod' this heavy-gun to my preference and probably not my style.
I now look forward for the next race in 3 weeks time- Generali HM and I hope to rebound strongly. I don't have to do a sub-two. Just a 2:06 will be a great rebound.
The PC broke down again over the weekend. It is the power supply issue. The original hard disk has also confirmed to be 'certified". Do note that the graphic card and 'fan' have also been replaced over the last few years. This is not surprise as the PC is 12 years old this year. This is not bad provided I only thought it could last around 4-5 years.
Following the conclusion of Fallout season 1, perhaps it is a good time to rank some of the TV series I have watched this year thus far and second half of last year.
Tier 1- Must watch
1. Fallout
2. Shogun
3. The Gentleman
4. Reacher (S2)
5. Ted
Tier 2- Good to watch
1. The Bear (S2)
2. The Last of Us
Tier 3- Better than nothing
1. Percy Jackson & the Olympian
2. Ahsoka
Tier 4- Don't bother
Don't bother to list it here too.
It's amazing and kind of cute seeing one of my favourite computer games on TV.
The storyline may or may not be as great, however, the setting of the show alone is worth spending hours watching.
Here are some of the most amazing similaries between the movie and the show.
1. The detail of the Vault- the design, the layout, the interior design, the signboard, the poster etc. and the vault dweller.
2. The items- stimpak, Meds, pure water, chem, bubblehead, duct tapes, teddy bears, food, fridge, Nuka-Cola, Caps, green screen computer and the hacking of the terminal.
3. The Pip-boy, although the pip-boy in the show is more powerful.
4. The sound and music of the show, the sound of the 'radiation' are all very similar.
5. The wasteland, the red rocket gas station,
6. The wastelander and their outfit- ghoul, raiders, even the two headed cow.
7. Furnitures, TV, cars, helicopter,
8. Power Armour, amour,
9. Charaacters in game- Dogmeat, Mr. Hardy
10. The 'carry bag', doesn't look the same, but explain why the character can carry 300 pounds of junk.
11. To a slightly extent- all the weapons and monsters (Yao Guai, Gluper).
The eight episodes of Fallout Season 1 is excellent. I can't wait for season 2.
Vacation in Genting Highland. Should you be staying in Windmill or Ion D'Element. Here's my analysis.
Pro of staying in Windmill
- Its Cheaper
- The swimming pool is better
- The room is slightly bigger
- There are more food choices within walking distance from hotel.
- The parking is free.
Pro of staying in Ion D'Element
- Its much colder and 'foggier'
- Its closer to Genting Highland
- You don't have to ride the expensive Cable Car to get to Genting
Con
- The parking (walking distance and fees) is a major issue.
In conclusion, both have its merits and issues. Just pick your poison.
First race of the year. This is a 10km hilly race. Being part of TC Association team, there are a few of us.
I finished at 54min+ (5'49) whilst Hong Yi finished just under 60min and slightly ahead of Kee.Wei Bing finished 5th in the 'member' division.
The race is difficult, particularly from 2nd to 6th km, with a few really steep uphill battle.
After a relaxed six weeks (after Asic 10km Time Trial to the whole month of December), its time to go back to training.
It turns out to be a lot harder than expected. First of all, the body weight is some 2.5kg heavier, therefore the impact to the legs are much higher. I have difficulties in LSD beyond 13km. The 'form' (via Race Predictor) indicates that I am now at the lowest since, well, since I start monitoring a year ago.
I have set a goal race- Twin City Run in April, however, I am not sure if I would be in form that I was in last year's Cybercity Run.
Despite the low performance, group run can remain fun.
Day 3 of Tai Ping Trip
The main program is the famous Tai Ping Lake. Program are boat ride and cycling. Luckily the weather is excellent.
A very different race. First of all, this is only my third race this year (as the previous race - PJ Half 30km was cancelled due to bad weat...
