abu ne ne~ abu ne ne~ abu ne ne HOI!!!!

That indian-styled hokkien song which is my alarm clock began singing like nobody business at 4.30am. It sure is annoying but it works =)Woke up easily despite having little sleep, seconds later wakeup call from joyce.

Packed everything and nearly forgotten my reporting card. Picked up Joyce and Shan2 and off we go!!! 5.30am when almost everybody is sleeping. Excitement level grew when we saw 1 or 2 runners in the full marathon category run past us on the opposite side of the road. Excitement level doubles up when we were thinking where to park as we saw half marathons and 10km runners crossing the road so we drove towards where they came from and found Taman perdana and parked there......

The moment we walked over, we saw thousands of runners for half mara being flagged off and at the same time thousands of 10 k runners stretching and warming up all over the dataran!! we felt intimidated lol. Took sometime at the toilet and looking for the luggage area and it was time for reporting, we havnt even do our warm up jog and we were still eating up our Powerbar....hastily.

Clocktower strikes 7am Ting tong ting tong BANG!Off we go!! as the guest of honor was waving to flag us off, I realised no one actually looked at that poor fellow hahahaha. 5 - 6 thousand of runners start-off is simply....magnificent. The slight incline at the start, we saw literally hundreds if not thousands of heads popping up and down the whole stretch of the road and we looked back it was the same sight.

As we passed by Dewan Bahasa into Jln Hang Tuah we were joined by the 7km secondary kids, their pace was Fast!! they were overtaking all the 10km and 21km runners. But moments later, they all pancit all over the city hahaha. The incline near Pavilion reduced me to walking =( it doesn't look hard, but it was hard to climb. Then after sometime i saw a roadsignboard which states Dataran merdeka 2km. Happily i shouted to Shan2 '2 KM more !! YESH!!!' and i upped my pace like a crazy fellow overtaking everyone. After 1 km or so, was greeted by another water station only to find out theres 3KM more.....STUPID SIGNBOARD!!

Can't keep that high pace anymore, then I saw the Adidas water-shower-cooling-thingy, looks fun =) ran under it came out frowning as i'm completely wet and was heavy, somehow it refreshed me and I raised my pace significantly without realizing it, thats where I left Shan2. Moments later,reduced to walking for awhile then i caught a glimpse of the Dataran after a corner and i started running again.

Nearly puke at the finish, then there was this super long queue at the finish line, lined up and look at the clock tower, 8.12...I qualified!!!!! can;t believe i actually qualified within the 1 hour 20 mins time. My goal was just to finish the course. Was hoping for a medal but couldn't get it =( i think the last medal was handed out about 100+ ppl infront of me. If only i was few minutes faster. Then came Shan2 followed up by Joyce, they both got position 180+ and 200+ respectively and received the medals, i wish i was a girl at that point hehehe. Came home with a cert and a "prize". I need to thank Joyce and Shan2 cause without them i don't think i could run this far as Shan2 just kept running nonstop like gila d....maybe its just merely due to my pride hahaha dun wan to lose to girls merrr :)

My cert


Joyce's finisher medal...jealousnya!~



MY PRIZE!!!!!!!MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ok fine, everybody got this...i'm still proud of it!

Last minute, took up the offer to take over LaiTee's dads' place in the 10km event. Was happy yet scared as i've never ran 10km before and this will be my first official race. Goal is just to simply finish the course. BUTttt....I hope during the reporting time they won't ask for IC or check for IC number to verify runner. I dont wanna get disqualified after waking up early in themorning, drive all the way to Dataran Merdeka, consume the RM7 Powerbar and end up not running and go home. I reallllllyy hope i could slip in and run.......

Last Thursday, marked my official comeback to cycling by joining PCC for the Putrajaya Recovery Night Ride. This time, i have more to look forward to since 2 buddies from BBS is coming too, clarence and abang bahri haha nice meeting them. As always, seeing other ppl's cunted bike always make me drool hehehe with brands like Pinarello, Specialized, Scoot, Trek and many more.

Its just a short 30km around the vicinity of Putrajaya where u could see the beautiful architectures of the mosque, government buildings, the PICC area and also 1 of the bridge. Although its short, for a new cyclist like me, i couldn't keep up with the lead group after the 1st checkpoint at 10km. Since i got dropped from the lead group, there was this girl passed me by and i pedal the best i could to draft behind her to reduce the wind drag but moments later i couldn't keep up lol

After a long slight climb, reached the 2nd checkpoint at 20+ km. While waiting for the others, i accidently knock 2 other bikes down. MY HEART STOPPED BEATING!!! i knocked down a pinarello belongs to an uncle and the Trek belongs to the girl. $$$$ crossed my mind....fortunately nothing happens =). Then we head off few more km to reach our cars.

Upcoming KOM (King of mountain i think) Genting Sempah organized by Way2Ride, a 15 km climb to the MCD i think starting from Hospital Orang Asli. I don't think I'm fit enough to compete but might just join for fun for the experience and to hype up cycling in Msia. Participants will receive 10% Polar products/watches voucher, tempting ler. Should I should I?
KOM Genting Sempah 2008

Paintball at Rimba Harmonis Gombak.
32 brave souls travelled to the frontlines to battle it out on Mount Harmonis. With all their might, they came equipped with ski mask, fishing hat, two little babies and even...yes even.....SEWAGE ENGINEER gear (at least thats how it looks to me,hint* Tiong ghee lalalala)

My squad....the best squad la this one....=) we were gonna win the league if not for insufficient bullet that forfeit the final league game.


Our first adversary, Eddie wearing ski mask...but why his finger censored 1..hmm?


Terrorist and Hip Hop 'KiT'


A look on the battlefield


It might look as though we were strategizing, we're actually wondering how to unlock the safety swt...

We actually drew in our first match versus Eddie's team which we consider a great effort since we're playing from below the slope with disadvantage. We continue to win our 2nd match against Licktor's team where we have the up slope advantage.

Spot the difference below. Answer : Poor elroy was doing it all alone hahaha


Below Elroy's picture is the raising of American flag at Iwo Jima during the World war 2. A sad story hidden in the people who put up this flag or maybe its the other flag(they actually took down the 1st flag that was put up there to bring it back to US or something like that). Read or watch Flag of Our Fathers for more info.

Credits goes to Eddison(his photoblog on my link for more photos) and all of you got shot by me ngek ngek and those who shot me grr...

Updates on me


Haha..i'm back in cycling but having stamina problems, man gotta train up again. One thing I like bout cycling is like what Tirza said about the wind blowing up her face.When u reach speeds above 25km/h and the feeling of wind blowing against you is awesome(although wind makes u slow) and to me it is almost as though i'm flying.... However 1 drawback of that willl be the dust that enters my eyes, since i have yet to use my shades while cycling. Plan to join back the Putrajaya night ride to improve back my stamina, hope i would be able to make it hehehe.

Lately, i'm irritated by certain strangers while jogging around Tasik Sri Permaisuri. First, there was this incident where a car that were parked outside the park (the park is off-limits for cars), came crashing down the small slope and INTO the park area almost directly for me due to driver's mistake. A tree was between me and the car, so the car crashed into the tree and stopped. A good Samaritan rushed up to the driver side, and off the engine. What happens next, irritates me....few uncles go near the car just to look at the car's transmission whether it is Auto or Manual and then shouted out loud to his frens bragging that he was right that the car crashed down because the driver accidently pushed the gear to D with no empathy or whatsoever towards the driver. Even if we're not able to offer help, dont need to brag that your assumption of how it happened was correct, yeah i'm disgusted. But 1 funny thing happen though hehehe when the car was coming towards me, 1 uncle beside me JUMPED sideways in a very 'kua cheong' way hahaha. I looked at him n swttt.....No pictures though, since i dun carry my hp running and i find it very disrespectful if i take the picture of someone else's misery.

2nd incident was at Permaisuri as well, theres this 'elite' runner uncle (i think he's those veteran in running la with the clothes he's wearing which belongs to a running club) who accidently got knock by a little boy. He then stop and stand there staring at the boy furiously and the boy got so scared! I felt like scolding the uncle 'Uncle u so old d, takkan cannot forgive such a little child, if you dont like to run with so many ppl around you, then dont come to permaisuri and run against the general direction that everybody is running'. Hahahaha there...i let it all out.....


I will post about YouthAflame's Paintball outing when i got the pictures from our photographers eddie and wai kuan. (below is just a random pic from the net...we're not as gaya as them....WE"RE MORE GAYA!!!)
