Choosing your date for Valentines (Prologue)

2010-02-10T23:49:00.001+08:00

Adapted from my sifu:

So guys, remember to plot the graph of the girl candidate you’re gonna date this Valentines. If the girl is above the diagonal line, please do not hesitate. However if she’s below the diagonal line, you’re better off going to the pub with your buddies/yumcha/dota/date your mum.

Happy Valentines Day~

My Valentine’s Day

2010-01-15T22:26:00.001+08:00

Back in 2001-2002, I first saw Anne Hathaway on Princess Diaries and boy does she look fuzzy. Even my leg hair kalah to her hair.

But behold, the ultimate transformation of her commoner look to a royal glittering princess was 1 of the greatest transformation on television (ok, i was exaggerating) even better than frogs turning into princes (exaggerating 1 level higher), japanese lala guys turning into Ultraman (now i’m just doing it for the lulz) and of course way better than Taylor Laudner turning into a wolf (now I just wanna annoy Twilight fans).

okay this looks dumb

This is slightly better

If Anne Hathaway is my date for Valentines Day, I would bring her to Sunway Pyramid to try archery. Reasons:

I once was in archery club during my early high school days
I got a medal for my school’s close archery competition. Owkay fine, its for lower secondary category. Oklaaaa fine….its a medal for fourth place.
I can cough* cough* teach her how to shoot an arrow. Isn’t that what we guys do? ahem ahem

Our night date would then be a completely out of the ordinary date for her. It’ll be her fetching me on her scooter going up and down Lookout Point. I need to show her that she’s no longer a princess and she gotta show some effort on a date too, plus it should be fun doing things out of the ordinary, since she would have got bored of fine dining and all those classy celebrity sort of stuff. I’ll be like Aladdin taking Princess Jasmine out on a carpet. Only difference is, she’s the driver and its a magic scooter.

The upcoming movie Valentines Day features a long list of your favourite stars in a mash up romantic comedy film this February.

So who wanna be my valentine this Valentines Day? or who wanna be my pretend-valentine to watch this with me?

DIGI Pimp My Day Challenge (team blog post)

2010-01-09T19:41:00.035+08:00

We, the Licky have done many…many amazing things to fight for a spot in the Digi’s Pimp My Day Challenge and we succeeded..!!! Even after our out-of-the-world super ‘serious’ video got us a spot for the final challenge, our lickiness (here on, lickiness=craziness) did not end there.

Pre-pimped

We transfer our lickiness unto our yellow T-shirts by performing our own T-shirt cutting. We spent lots of time watching tutorials on how to cut t-shirts to make sure we would stand out and draw attention.

All four of us at Ann’s house pimping our t-shirts with scissors

Deniece, our main T-shirt pimping sifu

Ann trying to pimp her t-shirt sexy yet decent. Is that possible?

Thinking did we pimped our shirts too sexy?

Introducing Licky Team 16

After pimping our shirts, we grabbed our brunch and heads to our Licky Mobile and zoom ourselves in lickyyear speed (lightyear speed, get it?) to 1 Utama.

We checked in to Mardi Gras, a group pic showcaing our pimped-out tees

We were designated Team 16, check out our logo =p

Ann

Deniece

Victor

Yours truly

Deniece tatooed my back with our logo

This was also the first time I get to try Digi’s Broadband Dongle, which was really quick to install and use. The speed was above my expectation too.

Briefing for the Pimp My Day Challenge begins shortly and off we go!!!!

Stamina challenge - Celebrity Fitness -

With teams rushing off every single direction, we decided Celebrity would be our first station, knowing that Victor and me have joined several 10km road races before which gives us advantage in a stamina-related challenge.

Off we go!!!

We got lost! (just for alittle while :p)

Run 800 metres on a treadmill??? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!!

Its so freaking easy, Deniece is even brushing her teeth!

Trying to act that we’re giving our all, but seriously this is too easy, fake expressions

This challenge was fun, but guess who’s the winner? Our sweats, we were sweating and we have 7 more stations to go~

Pose challenge – Quicksilver -

The beautiful Quiksilver outlet Clothes we had to select from

Anyone want these shirts, if it looks good on us the ugly-amateur-forced models, it’ll definitely look good on you!

The “Net live in your phone challenge” – Nokia -

We did so great that we don’t need to take photos :p. We had to watch a Nokia ad and catch a clue on how to decipher a coded message which requires our handphone’s sms dictionary.

Nevertheless~~ Here's a print screen version of us watching that Nokia ad~

:)

Bull eyes – Digi -

This is where we live our dreams to be red indians/orang asli/pocahontas/whatever indigenous fantasy we had. We need blow through that bamboo weapon to shoot darts (just some plain lidi stick for safety) at the target.

Ann: *blows* *fuup* missed.

While taking photo with our target score, Victor was shooting the other teams that came later than us.

Digi Music Download – Digi -

We had to search Lady Gaga and Akon’s song and add it to our Digi Music playlist. Digi music is free when you subscribe to Digi Broadband. More info/confirmation go to Digi

Baseball batting – It’s a Hit! Batting Cages -

*press close*

ARGHh close fasterr!!!!

Goofing around in the elevator~~

We took batting tutorials from a stranger, Azahari. I’d actually used my ninja speed to avoid his swing.

Thanks AZAHARI!!!

Drop a comment if you want her number

Refer previous pic

We really enjoyed our time at It’s a Hit. The batting was fun, it was the only batting cage in Malaysia. The highlight was Mr. Azahari who willingly taught us how to bat and gave us tips which were really helpful as we do manage to hit a few balls. Thank you….

Digi & Swatch Ad

Planning our commercial

WE had a little trouble coming up with an ad, but somehow we pulled through it. There were some confusions with uploading the video on Facebook which resulted us in failing to upload it in time =(. how sadddd.....

Anyways... The fun did not end here as the party just began~

And the DJ for the night giving us some pimped up songs to dance and shake our b.*.*.t.y. to~

However...

I think the bloggers there were more busy trying to get their blogs, videos and photos up on time.. hehe...

Then comes the looong queue.... What was the queue for....??!!

Well... Its for the... Fooooood~~~~~~

Glorious FOooooOOooddd~~~~~~~~

Oh and we had JOJO STRUYS as our MC for the night~~!!!

She somehow has this cute voice that seems to grabs everyone's attention...

*stares dreamily at her*

Here's a pole dancing shot~

Gotta need lotsa muscles to do what she's doing... Muscles.. and sexiness as well. hehe..

We had our fun, enjoyed the pole dancing performance, and the awesome KL Stompers (seriously, theres a KL version of Stompers?). Thanks alot to Digi for organizing this event for Nuffnangers. We, Licky will revenge in future Digi events for Nuffnangers…

till the day approaches……

Running in the rain

2010-01-04T16:10:00.001+08:00

Who here ran in the rain before? Okay, I see a few hands….I ran in the rain when I’m kid too. Now, who ran in the rain on purpose? Hmm no one? Tell anyone that you’re gonna run or play in the rain, the response you’ll get is “Crazy ah you, fall sick ah ! “. Which is true to a certain degree case in point, Aunty Andrea fall sick when it started raining while we were jogging in Alam Damai. Well, that was unintentional run in the rain.

Right before she fell sick

After that incident, I decided to run in the rain intentionally with proper attire of course. I’ve finally got my chance one day, and boy oh boy do I feel dumb walking to the park when everyone else is leaving. I wear my usual shirt and shorts with the addition of a windbreaker and cap. Its important to have a windbreaker to ensure my inside shirt from getting wet and a cap to block the rainwater from my face.

That run has to be my most awesome run for this year (2009) seriously. No other runs with friends, alone or races can compare to that. I can’t describe it at all the cold wind, the sound of rain water hitting the ground, me splashing puddles of water, the peaceful feeling of solitary and most importantly I cried while I ran. I realized at that moment, I was ‘disconnected’ from all my worries, its as though the rain waters are wrapping me around and I just had to cried out to God for forgiveness, my relationship and walk with Him have not been really good this year. I realize the older I grow, its harder to trust in Him. That run reminded me of His love and His sacrifice for me.

Not long after that, I ended my run. I felt less tired and I ran slightly longer than I usually would at that park. I guess by now, probably you all wanna know whether I fall sick the next day or not. Nope I didn’t, still macam harimau hahaha.

So will I do it again? definitely yes..

Its dried, hmmm another round? =)

How to watch Avatar in 3D

2009-12-20T16:41:00.001+08:00

Hello there you movie-goers, planning to watch the latest blockbuster movie from James Cameroon on 3D?? Worried bout getting headache for watching 3D for 2 hours 30mins like me?

Apparently, a small number of people and myself tend to shy away from 3D movies because they’re headache-inducing. Why pay so much for effects that make you dizzy and your head explode with chances of spoiling your jiwang time with your bf /gf after the movie? Here’s what you can do to avoid it, or at least reduce the side-effects

The reason we get all those headaches is because we tend to focus on the part of the scene that is out of focus. Look at the example below, a shot at Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, The guy’s face is out of focus while the shot is focused on the female’s face. We sometimes focus our eyes on the blurred part of the scene because some small details are shown on the background or for some horror movies, that’s where the hantu will appear from.

Focussing on the blurred out-of-focus part is the reason we get headaches from watching 3D. To enjoy Avatar in 3D, train your eyes on the focused part of the picture and forego the blurred background if you don’t wanna leave the cinema holding the wrong girl’s hand. Haha, this is gonna be hard and punishing for me and people who loves to look out for surprises and those who are observant.

MUST FOCUS ON ~~FEMALE ALIEN BODY~~ SAM WORTHINGTON’S FACE

Now who wanna ~~date me~~ watch Avatar in 3D with me? GSC only please.

Colour Me Corby

2009-12-16T00:04:00.001+08:00

I believe everyone’s life are colorful in their own way. However, how ‘colorful’ one’s life is perceived differently by each individual. Some may probably feel a life spent with helping others to be colorful while some who are dare-devils think that sky diving from a plane then on the way down bounce between the two towers of KLCC then open parachute for a pin-point landing of the butt right at the highest maximum squirt of fountain water in KLCC park. Okay I guess I’m the only one =S

This is how colorful my life is right now/so far both Literally and non-Literally (more like a showcase of my colorful colorful belongings LOL):

My handsome ORANGE New Balance 767.

My ORANGE dry fit shirt and BLUE shorts. Yeap, I sometimes wear my pants on my head.

My running gang in 2008 (ignore the medals, everyone got it, no big deal)

These are my running colors. Orange and blue describes my running style hehe. Started running in 2008, got into quite a number 10km race events. Only managed to get a few finisher medals, most of it are given for completing the race except for 1 which I’m particularly proud of, Adidas King of the Road 2008 where only about top 200 finishers got it. However ironically, i failed the qualifying time of 50 minutes (I finished in 58 mins). Crap, now you all know how slow am I. Running/jogging has helped me improve my fitness and provided me with lots of time to do personal reflection. Also not to mention occasional chance to bump into some hot babes in their hot running/gym attire and unfortunately aunties too.

My sexy Merida Road 903 aka ‘Superman’

My RED cheapo china/taiwan helmet

My smelly RED cycling gloves

Interstate 2008 group photo, no ‘color’. (taken from :Borneokia)

Cycling has to be one of my most fulfilling activity I’ve engaged in. It gives you the sense of freedom and independence as you travel kilometres away not to mention the feeling of the wind against your face. My cycling colors seems to be quite identical to Superman’s theme Haw Haw Haw. Not shown here is my butt in ~~tight lycra as hot (in a manly way) as Baroness from G.I Joe,~~ too sexyla dei~. Biggest highlight was in 2008 where I join the PCC Interstate for a 3 day ride from Kajang to Kuantan. Managed to ride the full length of Day 1 and Day 3 but I had to surrender after 50km on Day 2 due to butt sores. I also cycled up Fraser’s Hill, its quite easy actually except for the last 8kms, this was the first time I’ve actually considered crashing the barricade and die in the mountains while riding downhill. Reason? I’m shivering like crazy and my hands hurt so bad holding the brakes that I actually consider dying to relieve the pain. Moving on….

Even the car I drive is RED!!

Okay don’t give me that look…..fine I’m lying…here goes

Nice eh? ohh man~ fine fine fine……

I called it ‘My Red Ferrari’.

Hahaha and now something that I would spend time with more than a girlfriend (if I have one)

My GREEN Dell Studio 15

My Dell Studio 15 in its green glory. This baby has been very reliable thus far and has been temaning me playing my games, surfing, doing my work and most importantly writing this fantabulous awesometastic sexy inspiring blog that no one reads.

Now on to something slimy, sticky and squishy

Gatsby Moving Rubber. Theres so much color in my life that even my hair wax is PINK (My hair is still black for now =D )

This is the Nike RED Lace, where Nike pledge 100% profit of these laces for Aids in Africa. For more info Red. I know it looks orange, thanks to the new lightbulb in my room and my white balance setting not enough i guess. Noob photographer.

Last but not least

So Nyuh Shi Dae – Girls Generation

Gee gee gee gee baby baby baby~ my favourite Kpop girls group and boy aren’t they ~~delicious~~ colorful?

However theres 1 important part of my life that is without ‘color’.

My cellphone.

Cell phones have been a necessity in these modern times and cell phones now comes with a big load of features comes in varying styles and of course….color. Let me tell you what phone would be able to ‘color me’.

Samsung Corby S3650

Its striking color plus the retail package comes with two different color jacket enough to colorize your life
Cartoon UI (user interface) will be more interesting than your boring Sony Ericson menus
Touch screen plus its ONE finger zoom feature
2 mega pixel with panorama shot features
Music player with a smart music search feature
The feature I love the most has to be integrated widgets of social media such as Facebook, Twitter (ho ho ho i can tweet on the move), etc.

Haha these features are so ‘colorful’ that it can replace 10, 000 rainbows, blind the 300 spartans, and make cloudy with a chance of meatball looks like a black and white movie.

So will Nuffnang and Samsung be so kind to complete the ‘colors of my life’ by providing me a chance to win a Samsung Corby?

To conclude this post I give you readers hygiene lessons.

Remember to always use your gloves.

S – E – O – U - L

2009-12-08T15:53:00.001+08:00

Give me a S , give me a E ahhhhh shut up Jon its already written on your post title. Recently, some of my friends have ‘caught’ on to hallyu (한류) which means Korean wave. The term hallyu was coined by Beijing journalists in 1999 due to the increased popularity of South Korean goods.

Though most of my younger-aged friends got themselves into Korean music by themselves or their peers but several peers of mine got expose to Korean music thanks to me.. YEAP i’m Mr. Muka Tebal. I could still remember the first time i introduce to them some of the celebrities and songs, I kept getting that weird response ‘Jon why u hear all these cacat songs, yerrr the guys all look like girls’ but now they dance to their songs and worship them like teenagers oogling at Robert Pattison and how Pebby licks Hugh Jackman posters. Hahahaha no one appreciates Jon’s contribution hu hu hu~

The purpose of this post is ~~to dedicate my eternal love to Tae Yeon~~ to my fellow friends who are into the K-pop scene because theres a new MV by 2 of the most famous groups in K-pop. Can you guess which group? Most of you should get it right…..

So Nyuh Shi Dae (소녀시대) and Super Junior (슈퍼주니)

*Apparently SM made youtube removed the previous video. Let me know if this got removed too.

Tae yeon is so Awesometastic!!!! Yeap i came out with this word last night out of nowhere. However Deb said it was someone else's but who cares~. Theres so much Tae yeon in this MV, I’m so satisfied, isn’t she cute? I think guy fans of Tae Yeon is gonna kill Siwon while Siwon fans will resort to sending hate mails to Tae Yeon lol considering how crazy Korean fans can be. I find that the scene of Donghae dancing quite dumb and weird seriously, out of nowhere a guy dances like that on the street, dahlah tak match the song (ok my turn to be murdered). I think Seohyun aka Seobaby and kyu hyun has the 2nd best scene (best scene belongs to Tae Yeon) with the mascot and all. Oh yeah! No Tiffany for you Wai Kit!!!

Enjoy you korean addicts……pls do leave your comment and let me know that you agree that Tae Yeon is cute, pretty, adorable, pretty, cute, awesome, fantastic, awesometastic, pretty, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute ,cute, cute ,cute, cute, cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute cute. CUTE!

My slave aka Xin Yi’s birthday

2009-12-04T23:57:00.001+08:00

Although she has been my slave this year I believe I’ve treated her better than any Bolehland ppl treating their household maids. If all Malaysians treat their maids like how I treat Xin Yi, the Indon's wouldn’t wanna Ganyang us hehe.

Well bravo to Tyrone for organizing a celebration for her with Ann, Leonard, Pebby, Caleb and yours truly at Midvalley. Tyrone, XY and Pebby watched Ninja before dinner while the rest of us guys were helping Ann in getting a running shoe. We went Adidas-NB-Nike-Jusco-Studio R till we found NB 1224 for her at 50% discount. Ann if you’re reading this, you better appreciate our effort and run till you have Megan Fox body by the end of 2010.

Dinner at Tony Romas……request by the slave.

Isn’t she 1 happy slave?

Dinner was pretty okay and satisfactory. Our Heavyweight Eater Pebby lost his title to the Featherweight Eating Machine Leonard in the 1/2 chicken BBQ contest. A rather surprising feat since Pebby being Pebby eats alot and he didn’t even have his lunch lost to a 60 odd kg eating machine.

Pebby lost his title

Tony Romas brought in our cheapo Jusco cake (sorry slave no money-lah) together with a complimentary brownies and ice-cream. Needless to say we were all scooping the brownies + ice cream away.

Ann and slave

Caleb just fon kong and join us hahaha sorry its an inside joke ~ I’ll post bout it next time

Hungry babes are ugly babes

As i taught the night was over when we parted, a call from Tyrone usually means the night is still young. The slave butt itchy and hormones raging wanna watch The New Moon. I knew someday I have to watch it, so we said yes. At the GSC ticket counter I try to ‘intimidate’ the counter guy for some freebies/discount knowing that tomorrow is GSC MV’s anniversary. He responded with a polite you’re-such-a-cheapskate-customer laugh.

In conclusion, Xin yi is a very demanding slave, she made Tyrone and Pebby watched 2 movies in a day fulamak bankrupt giler Pebby and Tyrone. No wonder her nickname’s Queen Carmen. There goes my night wondering how deceived and naive teenage girls are nowadays oogling at Edward and Jacob. If I got time, I might post my ~~rant~~ review about New Moon. Until then………

My faithful slave and servant Queen Carmen will bid you readers farewell this time ~

More like fat hao queen hahahaa i love gifs~

I’m a Sherlock Holmes in the Making

2009-11-30T19:46:00.001+08:00

Nuffnang made me do this. I want my sherlock holmes tickets now!!!!!!!!!

McD Prosperity Burger. I’m lovin’ it. Am I?

2009-11-29T03:22:00.001+08:00

When you’re all alone at home and lazy to cook….who do you call? Mc…Donalds!!

Usually I’ll either cook myself or order some nice cheap fried rice when i’m eating alone but I make exception this time cause I found this ~~and also because I’m lazy to cook~~

The reason I don’t really eat McD is because ~~they are fattening~~ i’m bored of their burgers already except quarter pounder. Dayuuummmm.. I can never get enough of beef LOL. While looking at pics and articles on McD I found interesting stuff bout McD and fast food chains as a whole. When I have time, I’d probably do some simple research on Mc D and dedicate an entire post on it kekeke.

Well those of you who saw my facebook status and tweet, I ordered Prosperity Burger since the last time I’ve eaten one was about 2 years + ago. Hmmm I don’t think I’ll eat it again. I find that the pepper was really too strong for me. Not that I can’t stand the spiciness, it feels as though the pepper blocked out the other flavours.

To illustrate my point I decided to perform an original scientific experiment with a whole thesis to convey my results and findings.

on nom nom nom nom

Somebody call 911! Shawty fire burning on the dance floor! Whoa~~!!

The promised 1 line thesis of the experiment:

Para pa pa pa~ I’m not lovin’ it.

Dragon Age: Origins

2009-11-16T23:59:00.001+08:00

Finally I’ve picked up my pre-ordered Dragon Age: Origins. This is the first time I pre-ordered something and it does build up lots of anticipation towards the release date. I took standard edition as I thought the collector’s edition extra stuff doesn’t worth the extra moolah. This is what I got:

Poster:

T-shirt:

Well I gotta say the T-shirt was abit of a disappointment. I took the M size and I realize the T-shirt was slightly wider than usual measurements. I can only think of 2 possibilities:

1) make the owner looks slightly bulkier as though the tee is an armor

2) majority of geeks that are crazy about fantasy boardgames, cardgames, novels, paper and pen RPG, RPGs, MMORPGs are horizontally blessed.

In-game items:I believe EA and Bioware did a great job in rewarding customers and fans that support originals as they included these for every new copy of DA:O

Blood Dragon Armor:

This is the most exciting free in-game item as it can be used for Bioware’s upcoming sci-fi shooter RPG Mass Effect 2 (I think the world just shook due to synchronized-hooray-jump with the mention of Mass Effect 2 oppss again felt that?). The blood dragon armor certainly looks super yeng kao kao in ME 2 but it looks abit …… how to say…dumb in DA:O.

Twilight: New Moon

I’d recommend this to any RPG lovers especially those who loved western RPGs such as Neverwinter Nights, Baldur’s Gates etc. Well so long for now, I’ve got a world to save !!

DaVinci The Genius

2009-11-11T03:18:00.001+08:00

Last Saturday, I went to Pusat Sains Negara for the DaVinci exhibition. All thanks to Daniel from Total Sports Asia =D. I reached there first while waiting for the late comers ahem Yuet Mui , her sister Yuet Leng and their friend Calvin. While I was waiting I saw on the announcement board that PSN has a biotech awareness thingy for primary kids and they include stuff like DNA etc. In a way I was quite impressed, back when i’m in primary, all i knew was what is a cell wait…it should be apa itu cell =( .

Ahhh~ PSN, the last time i’ve been here was during my primary school trip. From the way it looks nothing much has change I guess. Honestly the exhibition was owkaay la~ somehow I wasn’t impress with the wooden models of his inventions. However, I kinda like the short video presentation on plasma tv the exhibitors provide at certain sections. There were enough facts available on his life and his inventions at different sections which I think wasn’t too little and not too much for those who have super short attention span.

However, the highlight of the exhibition was the Mona Lisa section, ohhhh my how I enjoyed that section. The secrets and truths unlocked by Pascal a French engineer using his patented special camera was astonishing to me. I gotta say I somehow ‘feel’ for the Mona Lisa painting as it has gone through alot. It has been in the bathroom of Napoleon which gave it some water damage, had a rock thrown at it, acid damage upon it, stolen and returned.

Okay ranting part, from what i gather from the international site of this exhibition, our local exhibition were lack of several things: the exclusive 3d animation of Vitruvian Man and the Last Supper, Leonardo’s alphabet and writing technique, audio tour and many more. The vitruvian man and Last Supper painting were displayed as ‘other famous work of Leonardo’ without much explanation. Was a tad bit dissapointed, considering the Last Supper painting should be quite famous since it was a crucial aspect in the movie The DaVinci Code, I’m sure it’ll be more interesting to hear some views from some historian experts on it.

I would still recommend it to everyone though Rm25 for adults. You could try to get complimentary tickets, refer to my previous post about DaVinci for details. Personally, from this exhibition I’m really impressed about what Leonardo has done, I cannot comprehend how in his lifetime He could accomplish so much in different fields. Anatomy, painting, physics, music, inventor to name a few.

I think everyone should learn to appreciate history and art before its too late.

Haha no pictures from the exhibition since cameras are not allowed. You can see some at my previous post though cheeeerrrrrssss

Terry Fox Run KL 2009

2009-10-23T01:33:00.001+08:00

Terry Fox, a Canadian young man who was very active in sports woke up one day not being able to stand up and several days later lost one of his leg. He was diagnosed with bone cancer and doctors had to amputate his leg.

During his stay in the hospital, he witnessed the sufferings of other cancer patients and he wanted to something bout it. That ‘something’ was what he called The Marathon of Hope…

He ran a marathon a day (42km/26miles) for 143 consecutive days with a prosthetic leg regardless of the weather. His dream was to run across Canada and collect 1 dollar from every Canadian. The 143th day was the last time he ran, he had to stop because cancer returns and spread to his lungs this time. He died several months later at the age of 22…..

but..The Marathon of Hope did not end. Terry Fox touched Canada and the world. From that day onwards, every year there is a Terry Fox Run to commemorate what he had done and to raise funds for cancer research.

I’ve decided to join Terry Fox Run KL 2009 at Lake Gardens on 1st November. Will you join me? All you need to do is just be there at 8.45am and run the 5km, there is no registration. T shirts and donations are available on that day.

Enjoy a tribute to Terry Fox by ESPN

Leonardo Da Vinci

2009-10-23T00:13:00.003+08:00

This holiday season will feature the release of several blockbuster games including one of my most anticipated games of this year, Assasin’s Creed 2. The storyline will feature the hero requesting the help of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci during the 15th century in Renaissance Italy. That brings us back to the topic of this post. I know i know, tak ada kaitan right? Can't help it, I'm a gamer and games that uses historical references and figures are my favourites. Plus, you learn to appreciate history =)

Pusat Science Negara will be the host of Da Vinci The Genius 2009 Exhibition from 1 Oct 2009 – 17 January 2010. The exhibition will feature Leonardo’s creations and inventions, his artwork and drawings including the famous Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and Vitruvian Man.

Mona Lisa. I used to get goosebumps staring at it when I was a kid.

The Vitruvian Man. Girls close your eyes.

The Last Supper.

The highlight of the exhibition is the works of a French scientific engineer and photographer of fine art, Pascal Cotte who made extensive research on the Mona Lisa painting. He made 25 startling revelations that will reveal the true light of the painting.

Leonardo Da Vinci have been known as a great inventor, artist, scientist, anatomist, engineer and architect. To me, he kinda proves the saying ‘ Jack of all trades, master of none’ wrong. I wonder if i could achieve that =).

If you would like to get free tickets to the exhibition drop by Daniel Franklin Gomez's blog. Also, check out the official site Da Vinci KL. Tickets are priced at:
Rm25 adults
Rm20 Child
RM13 Senior Citizens (50 above)

Below are several photos of the KL exhibition

The 3rd door

2009-08-03T15:20:00.002+08:00

LOL

Reading my previous post made me laugh, it felt like i'm gonna commit suicide. Anyway, right after I decided which path to take, both doors were closed and a third door opened by God's grace (again!). It certainly is welcoming but the challenges are still there, after experiencing considerably one of the worst week of my life last week, I had to stand up and give it all I got this time..........

At this moment, theres a fork road ahead of me. Which one to choose? Both roads will cause serious damage to myself and the people who loved me, Which road will I choose? Regrets are unavoidable............

I am sorry everyone......however no matter which road I take, I'm bound to stand up again, the question is I gotta choose how I'm gonna fall in this important moment in my life history that's gonna shape my life. God assured me something, but the choice is still mine...........

The Last lecture

2009-03-21T15:40:00.001+08:00

Found this post as draft months/weeks ago lol.

When I first heard about the book The Last Lecture, I actually thought it was a fiction book. Once I found out that it was a true story based on this guy’s ‘final’ lecture, it didn’t surprise me that this book became a best-seller book. In short, Randy Pausch were invited to an event where the theme involves the speakers to give lectures as though it was gonna be their last. Randy accepted that offer. Not long before the event, the doctor said his cancer had made a ‘comeback’ and told him that he only have few months more to live. The ‘last lecture’ now really is gonna be his last lecture.

What would you do if you were Randy? Haha for me, I would have travelled around the world!! Well, he decided to spend time preparing his lectures instead of investing all of his last days with his family. The reason? He believes his last lecture is gonna be much more meaningful and inspiring for his sons. His lecture is going to stay on and he believes when his sons grow up, his lecture will be able to benefit them. Randy’s final lecture was titled ‘ Achieving Your Childhood Dreams’.

The event draws plenty of attention and buzz with Randy’s condition and following on the book became even more famous and soon the video recording of the lecture appeared all over the internet. If you’re interested, search for it at Youtube. Randy passed away several months ago and his sons are very young at the moment. Most likely, his sons wouldn’t feel much of the loss of their father but when they grow up and read the book or watch back that video, they will get to know their father through that and be able to receive what Randy has poured out for them.

I would like to describe Randy Pausch in one sentence, he knew how he wants to die hence he know how he’s gonna live his last days. We need to decide how are we gonna be remembered and what kind of legacy we planned to live behind, that way only we will know how are we gonna live our life right now to achieve that final goal of our lives. In the movie The Last Samurai (let me clarify, I;m not a fan of Tom Cruise but i like Ken Watanabe though hehehe), one of the last scene where after the samurai leader played by Watanabe commit harakiri (suicide) the emperor who himself is an ex student of the samurai asked Tom Cruise “ Tell me how he die…”. Tom Cruise replied “ I will tell you how he lived”. It is how we live that will bring impact to other people,not how we die. It is not what we have when we die that will be remembered but it is what we do throughout our lives. A few good movie to watch that deal with life and death are Tuesdays with Morrie and The Bucket List. Checkout my blogger friends review on those movies.

Le Tour De Langkawi 2009 KL Criterium

2009-02-17T02:04:00.000+08:00

Despite being lazy on the bike and have not ridden on my baby merida for six freaking months(the Interstate tag is still there!) I still had the guts to say i'm interested in LTDL (le tour de langkawi) but kept missing the midnight highlights on TV1. Ha ha so Jon-ish eh? So to prove that i'm a man of my words, I went for the last stage of LTDL the traditional KL criterium stage. I brought (forcefully yet gently) Joye along and she caused us to be late.

The moment we stepped out of Masjid Jamek station, the peloton just passed by about 30 meters in front. DANG ittt....they started on time!(i was hoping the organizers would follow 'malaysian' time). After instilling some guilt into Joye's conscience we continue walking towards Dataran and right at the last corner towards Dataran, the riders are approaching for their 2nd lap. We dashed to the barrier to watch.

Wouuu here they comes.....

and then......

BANG!! 1 rider smack into the barrier. View of the rider was blocked =(. I wonder whether Joye got a good shot at him or not.

Here we are at the starting/sprint/finishing line.

Too tired/sleepy to smile properly

Introducing Tep Tep (Joye)

I don't remember which lap is this. The vacuum/wind caused by the peloton when it whizzed by us was exhilirating....(4 shots below were shot by Tep Tep - not bad =p)

Notice the funny looking guy in pink? My first glance I thought he was a woman haha. Turns out its a japanese rider from Japan, team Metan Humpo or something, lazy to google their site again. Click to enlarge.

Poor thing, they were dropped by the peloton. Might be due to the blockade of support cars during the crash on the 2nd lap. But they never gave up. Letua rider in front. Note: Letua = a Malaysian cycling team.

Recorded a video for the last lap but I wasn't looking at my camera's LCD screen hence, very bad recording. But I think its worth watching or listening lol.

The Overall Winner Jose Serpa, he also took the King of Mountain title with him. Lazy to mention the green jersey winner. Oh yesh! Tonton Susanto an Indonesian won the best Asian rider. Why am I mentioning his name? He's in Letua hahaha congrats Letua.

Well, as we were leaving Tep Tep asked me to kiss her cheek. Then I said, nahhh its too early, maybe next time.

Then this guy got interested pulak.............hmmm u like him Tep Tep?

Otakus love to donate blood.......with T&C applied

2009-02-11T02:20:00.000+08:00

Otakus....

Akihabara....

Tokyo....

Japan....

~~Pebby~~...

The word geek couldn't be avoided when the 4 names above are mentioned. For those uninitiated, Akihabara is an area in Tokyo famous for electronics and otaku stuffs. You'll be seeing toys, gashapons (figurines), comics, animes and etc.

I couldn't understand how blood donation centers in Akihabara are registering increase in number of donors while other centers' are getting lesser donors. Just when I'm about to throw away my pessimistic self and acknowledge that even otakus are kind hearted and would wanna contribute to society (I have yet to donate....yet) then I found out why throngs of otakus are dashing to donate their blood.

Akihabara centers offer large library of mangas (comics) and various services including girls dressed up as meido (thats maid in japanese pronounciation, similar to 'cyclist' as u read my blog address) and gave free services like massages and all. NO WONDER they would wanna donate!!!!!!

TING TING! my pessimistic side won again......

Anyway, since there's no hanky panky stuff and people's lives are saved. I got nothing to complain. At least thats much better than donating blood in Malaysia. If ever theres lenglui taking my blood, I would have been the top blood donator in the country hehe.

If I ever have the chance to go Japan, I would definitely visit Akihabara and witness with my own eyes how ganas is the 'otakuness' culture and ahem ahem some meido....

.....okay forget bout meido.

Went out with the budak budaks, since they cant live without me the big bro hahahaha.
TimeSquare was the destination and I arrived there TWICE.
Thanks for waiting!
Had an awful shabu shabu dinner, all credits goes to Joye.

Let me introduce a lengcai.....ohhh no~ not lengcai d. Theres an eyesore in the pic =) Haahahaha in ur face Bubu

Ohhhhhh U G L Y !!

I could hardly smile, darn tired.

We head to bowl after that. Its been awhile since i last bowled. Then there were some long 'hiccups' due to some acts of vandalism by a few individuals ahem ahem* caused us much embarrassment when the staffs came over. However the staffs were nice enough to solve the problem for us. For more details and more pictures, head on to Joye's blog.

I cleaned my room. Yes you heard me right.
Yeap I know its gonna get messy back again shortly but at least
it made me feel good for 1 day.

Haha looks like some musician room eh~
chucked most of the stuffs on the floor to somewhere else.

Yeap chucked it here hehehe

I always complained that I have insufficient clothes, but in truth I have lots, just that its already buruk or not my size.

My table is slightly less messier now.

Random note: Theres a new addition to my sexy butt lycra collection. My cycling shorts has a new partner in the form of a new Arena tights hahaha cant wait to go swim now.

I have to endure yet another goodbye. This time it is my girlfriend of 2 years =(. She's been there for me all the time, always make sure I have a good time with her each time I turn to her. She's darn fun and super hot at the same time but rarely loses her temper on me. 2 months ago, I heard the cries that indicate that she's not well and she can no longer let me have fun with her. I think I need to get her checked up to see if she could be healed. If not, its another farewell in a duration of 3 weeks. I Love you........

My Nvidia 8800 GTS

Lastly, I found a small poster that comes with Discovery channel mag. Stick this to the wall, I'm considering putting lotsa lotsa posters in my room, give me suggestions yeah~.

You might see me sailing around the world in the future.....maybe........

Left-out stories

2009-01-15T01:00:00.000+08:00

Haha as i looked through my previous postings I realized I did not talked about lotsa events that happened last year or some really important moments or thoughts that I wish to blog about. Dang it, why am I not a "journal" person ! Below are some of it that I can recall as of now....

PCC Interstate 2008 - Kajang - Bahau - Kuala Rompin - Kuantan
Mizuno Wave Run
NX Generation Camp (next post)
UCSI Faculty of Applied Sciences Prom Night (next post)

PCC Interstate 1st Day

PCC Interstate is a 3 day cycling event organized annually by the cool people at PCC (pedalphiles cycling club, not pedophiles mind u). 1st day Kajang-Bahau around 120+ km, 2nd day Bahau-Kuala Rompin around 170+km and last day K.Rompin-Kuantan i think around 150+km. First day I got into a bad start because it started raining just as we push out of Metro Kajang. Imagine drizzling at around 6+am in the morning with hundreds of cyclist and traffic around you with the cold morning wind blowing you at speeds of 25-40 km/h (depending on how fast u go la). When we reached Genting Peres, I was kinda happy as I've ridden up Peres before. It is here that a few riders crash at the infamous turn connecting peres to semenyih, that turn was really dangerous as I've heard of motorcyclist and cyclist involve in accidents there. Moving on, I find myself lepaking enjoying the view climbing up then a thought came up. I remembered now that after Peres, 1 long crazy up and down rolling hills are waiting for me, kay there goes every single bits of happiness left in me. Somehow suffered through it, but no doubt it was tough for me.

I began to suffer right after having my lunch in some small town which i cant remember the name, where I gotta go through some kampung roads with lotsa huge dung on the roads then a stupid, crazy, back-breaking uneven road hill climb!!!!!!!!!! I just couldn't understand,with the sun already hot and my 'kwan low' mee circling in my stomach at speeds faster than Superman can circle the earth, I was ranting nonstop in my head somemore the only person who was with me was Pepsie ehhh Patsy/Patsie I think who i'd like to call her IronNenek(she did powerman and ironman as a nenek!) dropped me. My goodness, a 21 year old being dropped by a nenek on a climb is just ughhhhh speechless.

Then I did something that I have not done in a long time, I stopped at a small bus stand to pee and then relax and text Debbi (haa see deb deb, u better get me cun presents from oz for me and send it back). The final 20-30km, my butt felt as if two crocodiles are biting it, I somehow found myself in the company of 2 men where we ride painfully slow (20+ km/h) to reach the hotel then we shake each other's hands and sat at the entrance.

2nd day (ok I know my post is getting longer although as of now, i've already forgotten most of the events that happened haha, will keep it short from now on)

Waking up half scared half excited that I survived the first day, the moment we were flagged off, that mili-second my sexy manly butt came in contact with me saddle, I thought the earth cracked into half, SERIOUSLY!!!! I terus felt like stopping and hop into a support car but that would be so embarrasing, hopping into a car just 10meters from the hotel in a 180km stage?????So i convince myself that the pain would subside once adrenalin kicks in.

I was half-right though, The pain stayed until we got out of Bahau town into the main road (those main road where oil palms are on ur left and right). I got myself into a peloton with a LeTua rider in front of me, wah liaooooo i feel proud though his breathing seems he's just standing there compared to mine almost reaching huffing puffing state.

I was dropped at 1 part and with the excitement gone, 8 crocodiles are biting my butt as of this moment. 1 hour later, i'm looking for support car already. I found a nice lady who picked me up at 50km. Haih only rode 50 km on a 180km stage, a little embarassed but my sexy butt is more important.

(before I was dropped by them hehe)

3rd Day

Even if I lost my butt, i'm gonna finish the full distance. Butt wasn't that painful as previous day. Nothing much to say bout the last day except that I was with this ang moh lady (oh no, I forgot her name) and her son most of the time. This time its more like a ~~jalan-jalan~~ kayuh-kayuh cari makan trip lol. We found ourselves stopping for nasi padang issit forgot what nasi d, everybody say darn cun too bad i've just eaten lunch. We were hunting for coconut water and all along the way, stopping by the beach hahaha taking our sweet time. Then as usual any endurance events like this will bring u an awesome crazy sense of accomplishment.

(drafting behind Raymond was nice cause at this time he was relaxing and he was blasting 80's music from his phone or something)

After the great dinner(they serve lamb okay!!!my metabolism was so high and lasted for a week), I gotta say the accomplishment 'feel' just went off as I walkedoff alone from the dinner hall to a spot nearby and just sat there n look up the skies at the beautiful stars. I realized in terms of life successes and my life mission of impacting life, I think theres nothing much I've accomplished much here. All I did was just to prove that I could cycle 3 days (ok fine, 2 1/3 days), thats all. That gaze upon the sky reminds me there are so much things to do and God have so many things in store for me. It made me think back on my priorities in life. I'm glad of that moment. Saying that, I still think Interstate is worth it, its fun and I will definitely join again in 2009 hehehe. Will youuuuuuuu join me???? better power up my butt now~

Dunno when was this taken, I think at that time i was faking a smile cause i'm super hungryyy...

Mizuno Wave Run
Ha ha I ran badly this time. I dont know why all double hill runs organized by Pacesetters I sure did badly one. 1h 16m for 10km on a reverse double hill run. I gotta admit i find the reverse route super tough. But the real reason was I really slacked off after Interstate. While I was running, I noticed i was running way much slower than I normally would at the sameeeeeeee heart rate. I even stopped to walked a few times. Thats how much I've slacked off hahaha. Good thing to see was Heng Sheng joined me, and he was so darn fast, must be due to his fitness playing basketball and Elroy debuting in his new New Balance shoes, ironic that he hates New Balance hahaha.

When Gaming Goes Wrong

2008-12-17T22:56:00.003+08:00

Hmmm...We heard about a gamer too obsessed with his xbox that when his parents took his xbox, he ran away from home and it became such a hoo hah that Microsoft feels responsible (or taking advantage of this situation as a marketing opportunity) so they offer up rewards for the kid to come back (or is it for anyone who found that kid?).

Then we have the usual once in a few years korean gamer died after a marathon of starcraft in cybercafe. Even in Malaysia, theres a case where guy stabs another gamer because he wanted to revenge his death in counterstrike.

The ultimate came when this sad news about a teenage boy who shot his mum to death because his parents confiscated his copy of Halo 3. Though his dad forgives him, he will live in regret all his life just because of gaming.

As a gamer myself, it saddens me when the obsession or consequences of gaming would cause so much misery to some people. Games were meant to be enjoyed not to harm. No matter what it is, be it gaming, movies, books, if we do it excessively and allows it to 'take over', it would bring bad consequences to us. What this generation need is the ability to prioritize important things and to focus whats important in life, about what truly matters. Lets not laugh at incidents like these but offer a helping hand to people around us that seems disillusioned about what ever things that they are obsessed in.

"Would you guys close your eyes," Daniel Petric asked. "I have a surprise for you."

"Dad, I'm so sorry for what I did to Mom, to you and to the family," Daniel Petric said, according to his father. "I'm so glad you are alive."

"You're my son," Mark Petric responded. "You're my boy."

The Kajang Lesson

2008-12-16T22:39:00.003+08:00

We, the cheras boys have always been proud and consider ourselves more 'tahan-able' since we live in a more lower-class area so to speak and our experience in one mamak shop in Kajang humbled us ermm....more like it humbled our dear brother Victor hee hee.

' This is a story of a boy~
who drowned the world when he sweat a river~
while he look so sad in photographs~
We absolutely love him, when he eat SPICY MAGGI GORENG!!!!!!'

We ordered maggi goreng double tak nak pedas...

This guy cannot eat pedas

He ate it due to peer pressure..........and that was our last night with him =(

We will always remember u victor, ur smile, ur sweat and everything licky. U will stay in our hearts for the rest of our lives. RIP.....

I've been really emo with myself with things happening lately and for things to come. I cant help but to feel these two years have been the fastest, confusing, and filled with uncertainty. Its like walking through a narrow pathway with endless turns and corners that every time i turned, something sad is waiting to surprise me and long before i could do anything comes the next few turns that could dissapoint me more or making me rejoice again. The rapid change of my emotions level are bothering me, at 1 point i could be so dissapointed with many things and then BAM! i'm so happy and before my smile ends BAM! My emotions fell faster than earth's gravity pulling down meteors. I know its part of life, but right at this moment, I just feel I cant take it anymore, I just wish time could pause or rewind.

There are several people and situations that i can identify as the reasons for this but you know 'la', I wouldn't wanna reveal it here. Ironically, this type of how-you-feel-but-you're-not-gonna-tell-what-happened post have always been something I dont like to read cause, I never know what ever happened and at times I do feel the writer kinda write it that way to seek for attention. I cant believe I'm writing it.......i guess I really need to release my frustrations this time through this method. Dont worry, if you dread to see your Jon in this emotional state, this kinda things dont happen often...........I'll be crapping here sometime soon again.

On a side note, with the way i feel recently, there is this longing to be at some place out of the city to enjoy fantastic view of the nature, the stars that lit the sky and others to just take my mind off things and be at peace. Not to mention, the fascinating pictures shown in national geographic magazines makes me wannna travel the world just to take a glimpse of how wonderful God's creation is.

Lazy to find those really cun photographs, but this one is one of the one i found in my pc. I think the green formation has something to do with how the iceberg in north pole reflect the light or something like tat. I forgot........

My Game Heroes 1

2008-11-10T22:02:00.004+08:00

Isaac Clarke

He's the protagonist in the new survival horror game Dead Space by EA.
Sypnopsis of the story :
Isaac and a team of people were sent to a planet cracker ship which lost all means of communication right after sending out a distress signal. They were to find out what happened and end up wondering whats gonna happen to them LOL.

In short, the ship has been infested with an alien species that takes over dead bodies. Isaac, an engineer now has been separated from his team and now has to find way to restore the ship to look for possibility to escape while fighting for his own survival against the horribly mutated necromorphs that were once human bodies.

Well, I like him cause theres another reason why he came to this ship, he received a message from his ex gf who is working on the ship. I guess I admire his courage to survive and battle the odds in the ship because he still believe his exlover is still alive somewhere. If it would have been me, I might lost all hope to live anymore.

He wears a helmet 98% of the time, which kinda makes me as the gamer to constantly wonder how he felt like since i cant see his expression. Its as if the designers design him to wear helmet so that the gamer's expression will be the same as Isaac's. More of Dead Space next time ~

Shop to release stress

The only thing he's better than me.....He eats tomatoes.

I tried to use kinesis to lift up the barrel to throw it so i could save ammo. Ok, i died after that =(

A trailer for the game, the famous Lullaby Trailer. Not for the faint hearted.

What I've Been Up To Lately

2008-08-16T00:48:00.004+08:00

THE DARK KNIGHT
Lately, due to my job I've been busy running around jumping on rooftops. Yeah you guessed it, July was the premiere of one of the most anticipated movie of the year The Dark Knight which is based on me. I cant believe these people man, I gave them the rights to make a movie based on me without charging them money and yet they want me to advertise for the movie by jumping around in KL, darn it! I got life too okay....I'm not as rich and as free the way they portray me in the movie.

Well, watched the movie but I gotta say I'm so impressed !!! I'm too lazy to review the movie but I just gotta say its darn cun!!!!!! I wish my Kenari bat mobile was as strong as the Tumbler. These scriptwriters are really creative man, maybe I should ask them to make me one since I'm the real Batman hmmm...
OH Man!! they even made a lego out of me.....pandai exploiting my image eh~
PASSION KL

Sunway Convention Center packed with 4k of people...

some crazy teenage girls wanna look 'glamor' asked us to pose with them

Eddie..single available and gay. =) oklar gay = happy, dont nips me pls.

It was really great...really.....I mean...i cant express it in my writing......IT WAS GREAT!!!!!! convincing enough?? I think everyone should know music-wise everyone enjoyed it. The message was a journal entry of a girl who just came to know Jesus through a new friend while she was in the midst of brokenness. Simple story, nothing too deep but yet powerful and touching. For that girl, it was a discovery of the amazing grace that can only come from God. After knowing Jesus, few months later she passed away in an accident but her desire to tell everyone about God's amazing grace has made it across the states in US, into the internet and into cities around the world through Passion in this world tour. God loves us no matter how we screwed up, no matter how we fall.

Sports-Related Events Update..

2008-07-26T21:55:00.006+08:00

Been lazy to blog lately........i'll keep it short.

SIEMENS RUN
Siemens timing : 56:16 but apparently the actual distance was only 8km+ not 10km. The run was organized quite well with the amount of hired people to cheer for us at the last stretch not to mention ahem ahem school cheerleaders ahem ahem. Then my secondary school Victoria Institution marching band was there to perform as well. Oh! did i mention there were school girl cheerleaders?
MALAKOFF UNIVERSITY DUALTHON SERIES (3 stages)
1st stage was at UKM bangi, had a dissapointing run cause I lined up in front and run above my pace, too excited plus I couldn't sleep the night before. The cycling route was nice.

2nd stage was at UM, this time Laitee's sister n friends joined. Only 1 thing to say, that Bukit Cinta was crazy, those people that joined for fun or using old bikes suffered kau kau and gotta walk their bike up, i even saw participants walking up their roadbike.

3rd stage UPNM, finally the last stage. This time I'm in a relay team with Laitee as 1st runner, Yee Hua the final runner and I'm the cyclist of course. Relay is kan cheong, it gives you the pressure but also the determination to push hard so you won't fail your team. Would wanna try a running relay in the future hehe.

ADIDAS KOYAK ON THE ROAD
Joined 10km with the usual gang, this time with the addition of Elroy and Adam. Clocked in 58+mins. Wow, personal best and sub 1 hour 10km timing. Ok now, the last thing i wanna hear is that the route is actually less than 10km, lie to me if u must. And guess what? MY first medal where the medals aren't given to everyone but the medal design sucks.

Run Forrest RUn!!

2008-07-08T22:09:00.004+08:00

Here's a funny article I found on Runner's world written by Mark Remy which have something to do about 1 of my favourite movie and running. I'm so glad that it only happens in US.(http://dailyviews.runnersworld.com/2008/07/run-forrest-run.html)

Here's a quick litmus test to determine whether someone is a runner: Shout "Run, Forrest, run!" and see how he reacts.

If he cringes, shudders, or rolls his eyes (or all of the above), he's a runner.

Anybody reading this surely knows why—because, as runners, we hear some genius screaming this at us at least once a month. More, if Forrest Gump has been on cable recently.

I mention this today because today is, presumably, the 14th anniversary of the first time this particular witticism was ever used on a runner in the act of running. I say "presumably" because yesterday, July 6, was the 14th anniversary of Forrest Gump's theatrical release. And I think it's safe to assume that it took the nation's teenagers (they always seem to be teenagers, don't they?) about a day after seeing the movie to notice someone out for a run, remember the movie line, and use this particular zinger.

It was funny the first time.

Smart-aleck comments from bystanders are nothing new, of course, and they're hardly limited to "Run, Forrest, run!" I imagine that Pheidippides, during his legendary run from the Battle of Marathon to Athens, must have encountered at least one goat-herder along the way who mocked the shortness of his running toga, or a chariot driver who chucked an empty wine jug at him, or something.

Still, Pheidippides soldiered on. So did Forrest Gump. And so do we.

So, on this 14th anniversay...

To Tom Hanks, director Robert Zemeckis, and writer Winston Groom: Thanks. Thanks a lot.

To the nation's teenagers: Come on. "Run, Forrest, run"? You're better than that.

And to that goat-herder who mocked Pheidippides: Up yours!

The truth is I've always always forgotten about the meaning of the word PROCRASTINATION. It always sounded like whining but on a more serious level to me. Well, in short and simple words, procrastination is delaying a task or my preferred definition would be pleasure first, suffering later.

I guess I could be one of the greatest procrastinator around hehe so from now on ...........I'm gonna say TAK NAK to PROCRASTINATION!!

When I need to pray, I'll GO ON MY KNEES!!
When I wanna study and/or need to study, I'll Study!!
When I need to perform a task, I'll Do It!!
When I need to wake up yesssss....wakeeE up, I'll Wake Up!!
When I need to do my running, I'll Run!!
When I need to cycle, I'll Cycle!!
When I need to poo poo, I'll POO POO!!
When I need to rearrange my stuff, I'll Rearrange!!
When I need to smack u all, I'll SMACK!!!

McDonalds Olympic Day Run 2008

2008-06-29T14:59:00.005+08:00

Distance : 7.3km (Frank's nike+ sportsband)
Venue : Dataran Merdeka

Andy > Frank > me

I know...dun laugh!! taken by pacemaker photographer whoever you are hehe

Short Version

Reached there with Goma and Sin May, too late to meet up with runnerz circle ppl.
Its Sin May's first time hehehehehehehe.

Watched leonard, waikuan, eddie, xinyi, yi xiong, and goma do aerobics.

Lined up quite at the back. BANG!! all of a sudden without even announcing "Ready!, GEt set! etc".

2ndary school students at the start were slow and blocking the whole road, imagine 5-6 girls walking together in a horizontal line just few hundred metres away from starting line
Freed myself somewhere after the ktm station.
Met uncle Thiam Fook lol
Ran at 90+% max HR macam mau mampus the whole race.

Finished with 46:10 sec and dunked lots lots lots lots of ribena and a few cups of milo.

Long Version
Reached Laitee house only realised I didn't bring my report card, rush back home to take it sigh there goes the petrol. Parked at Lake Gardens which I will come to regret later (more on this later). Started the run, zig zagging to potong all the school kids that just love to appear together in a horizontal line either walking or jogging at a speed of walking. Only got to free myself during the hilly part . ONLY THEN I REALISED its part of the Double Hill route! I thought McD run should be easy,relaxing and flat all the way. I love the hills anyway heeee :D .

Met uncle Thiam Fook along the way lol. Amazingly i was running at about 90+ % of my max heart rate, couldn't control myself. For the first time, I overestimated the distance when I notice "uik? finishing d wor", normally I underestimate the distance and begging for the finish line to appear in front of me. After crossing the finish line, seconds later Lai tee crossed the finish line WITH A MEDAL IN HAND.....for that split second I wish I was a girl hahaha. Nah...being a guy is still good !!!ngek ngek

I'm satisfied with the result....but would like to be faster next time.

Youthaflame and SinMay!

With Lai Tee's sisters, Lai Tee's sisters' friends etc.

Time : 46:10
Average HR : 180
Peak HR : 194 (GILA siut...must be during the last 200 m)

So after all the drinking and taking pictures, went back to car and noticed my rear passenger side mirror was smashed. Thank GOD nothinggggg was stolen. I wasn't happy with that (who would lol) but I'm kinda alright, wasn't jumping around with fists flinging in the air or shouting profanities. Just worried about how much ringgit its gonna cost us this time.

Happy Birthday to MEEEE!!

2008-06-24T23:11:00.005+08:00

16 June 1987.....Jonathan(not in IC) Kuek Weng Keong was born into this world. A neonate (scientific term for newborn, sengaja use this term since my final year project involve neonates) that is fairly heavy according to my mum at 7 'pong'( chinese fot lbs). Few hours earlier, my evil twin Vivian king kong came into this world too, in the same hospital hahahaha.

Million thanks to Vivian and family for including me in her birthday celebration. Thanks to all you peeps out there that has 1 way or another remembered my bday/gave me presents/friendster comments/sms/calls and etc. Appreciate it...

However....

The One i really need to thank the most ........is God Himself. Never would i find the reason for me to live on earth, never would I experience such love that is beyond comprehension, never would I realized my self-worth and identity, never would I be able to stand up after every fall, never would I be able to forgive myself and others over weaknesses and stupid mistakes if it is not for Him.

I wanna thank You for every single thing that happened in my life, it truly is a wonderful experience and painful too. As a child and You the Father, I've been bad, ignoring you, disobeying you at times, I am sorry and help me to never forget that this life of mine is Yours and Yours alone.

Never would my life be the same again, in every victories and defeats in my life, You were there with me, in my strengths and my weaknesses you were there. Hereby, I publicly declare that I belong to You and will live in full potential of what You want me to be.

Nuggets testing! yum~

2008-06-13T23:56:00.003+08:00

Should go for more sensory evaluation, free food plus help them in their research kekekeke

Fraser's Hill

2008-06-09T22:30:00.005+08:00

A shot of the Clocktower and Post office at Frasers

Ride starts from Kuala Kubu Bharu's stadium. The scene at the dam area was really nice....now i know why its rumoured to be one of the most scenic ride in Klang Valley. The initial 30km to GAP wasn't hard but the last 8km from GAP to Frasers is kinda tough for me.

Roads around the dam area, I lazy to slow down and take pic at the dam earlier....regretted.

At the GAP, waiting for the 11am time slot to go up Frasers.

some of the bikes

long queue of cars waiting for the 11am slot as well.

Balikking time was SUPER SCARY and PAINFUL especially the 8km part from Frasers to GAP, It was so cold that I was literally shivering while cruising down. Not just that, I'm not a fast downhiller so I was actually braking almost all the time as it was too steep for me. Both of hands were in super pain holding the brakes but no choice, was relieved the moment we reached GAP. After GAP, it wasn't that steep and narrow so it was OK. Really enjoyed the ride, would like to come again sometime but driving distance is quite far somemore petrol naik :(
Total Distance up : About 39-40 km

New Balance Pacesetters 15km 2008

Nothing technical to report as some of us were late and the run was already started. So I decided that i'll just run to enjoy the route, not to mention no time to warm up n stretch properly before the race. Overall, the route is really nice....super hilly.I kinda realised i like running up hill LOL.....its nice cutting many ppl while going uphill since most of them will be walking up hehe. Will revenge next year hehehe.Position 700+ LOL!!

Joyce's Farewell
Joyce left us already, she's going to Utar Kampar campus. Hope she'll be able to adapt well as well as impacting the people there with God's love and presense. Miss running with you Joyce, do come back and run together yaa....

Kaki Corner, with 20+ ppl, I didn't even manage to talk to Joyce =(
Joyce and her CG members, with the leader missing....Swt....hehe

Most of the time I was crapping and watching Thomas cup with licky in the restaurant, then when Korea won the 1st double match against China, he showed me this fat hao face...

Even his bro also terkejust with licky's weird paranormal expression.

Look at the picture above....Tirza did not do her 'peace' sign. Good good, now she knows how to smile and pose nicely already...hehehehe. We ordered, 10 chicken meat, 10 beef and 4 rabbit ..yessss RABBIT!!. but in the end we got extras, a few hati and perut I think. The guy messed up our orders and Albert ate those organ satays hehehehe. And our total bill doesnt account to the value of satay we got hehehe not to mention TIRKEY belanja-ed me!! wooo thanks tirkey...

What we ordered, taken by Ann with my camera...very noticeable the lack of skill hehehe jk

Justin's Bday

He gave a speech on how much he loves me, adore me and thank me for coming and he was so touched that he look so sad..and 'sobby'. He have a whole book written with his speech for me...aww how nice of u justin.......(some pictures were again taken from Eddie's blog WITHOUT permission...man I love pirating his photos)

Ok, by now u should have figured out i was crapping, it was a game manual for the board game RISk....

In the end, Albert won, although Justin was dominating the whole south and north america. hahaha

Something Random.

Looks like a girl as ganas her can be tamed, I guess bubu can be tamed too hmm~ Anyway, this game was played during secondary school youth's Mother's day event, where I accidently won the whole game LOL, I didn't mean it!!!!was gonna let the mothers win. Great job youths, I see the joy and satisfaction in your mother's ears, I myself nearly cry..............Great job reconciling back to your mum and renewing the relationship.

Janda Baik ke Buruk?

2008-05-09T00:41:00.004+08:00

I asked Darren to bring me to Janda Baik since he said its ONLY ABOUT 7 km from genting sempah... So i thought 7km few small hills no prob la. So we climbed up Sempah from Hospital Orang Asli as usual, my previous climb took me bout 1h 3mins++ which is quite slow, wanting to break that and get a sub 1hour time, but faillllllleeddd....1h 3 min+ again.

From Sempah down all the way to Janda Baik, the scenery was quite nice, looking over the hillside with vegetables plantation was really calming and makes me feel real good. However the way back was abit tough, ESPECIALLY the climb back to sempah from MCD......ahhhhh every push and pulling of the pedals, felt like my muscles koyakking........thanks be to Darren, if not, i would have walked my bike up.

The Port Dickson Tragedy

2008-05-02T22:04:00.003+08:00

The place where it all started........

A group of happy young people went to an apartment in Port Dickson to have fun.
4 Heroes and 4 Heroines.

Introducing Hero 1. He was enjoying the trip and look how happy he is. Buttt!! never did he know, there was an evil plot against him and the other heroes.......(hint: look behind Hero 1, Heroine 1 is planning something evil)

Introducing Heroine 2. Look at the evilness in her eyes and that malicious grin. WHATS GOnna HAPpen to our Heros???

Heroine 1 again....ughhhhh TOO EVIl for words to describe. Then someone came.....

Introducing Hero 2. He came into the kitchen as he feels somethings not quite right with the kitchen's atmosphere. LOOK HOW FAST that evil HEROINE 1 changes her expression and fake it. Poor Hero 2 doesn't know what was happening =(

Dinner time!!Introducing Heroine 3. At last a not-so-evil scene. WAIT....whats wrong Hero 1? you don't look alright.......wait is there something in the FOOD!!?????????

*generic sad korean/chinese/japanese drama sad song is being played in the background* Hero 1 fell and never woke up again =(. Introducing Hero 3, he's poisoned and dead too =(

INTROducing Hero 4.......nvm, he's dead too........in an EVENING DRESS....SUCH EVIL!!! =(

The evil heroines get rid of Hero 4's body by dumping it into the sea........poor fishes...err i mean poor Hero 4.

Do they have any mercy ?????????how can they rejoice?

Hero 1 and Hero 3 bodies werent disposed as nicely as Hero 4. The Heroines burn the bodies on a.....BBQ spot.

Took the Heroes money to buy coconut and sun tan on the beach enjoying themselves......evil!!!

Took away Hero 3's camera as well......haih.....

I'm sure you guys are wondering what happened to Hero 2. Hero 2 managed to see through the evil schemes in time and manage to run away naked but with his SLR camera. Why the camera and not the clothes? Coz he needed to tell the world what happened and revenge against the horrible heroines. Above are photos by Hero 3.

Klang Pacers Half Marathon

2008-05-02T21:48:00.002+08:00

27/4 i went for the klang half marathon 10km category together with Joyce, Alexis and Leonard. Hmm...I didn't slept at all the night before. Couldn't sleep since I took a 3 hour nap during the evening. Didn't feel as good as KLIM or Orangerun. Somehow achieve my target of continuous run except for water stations and to tie shoe lace. Didn't bring watch/timer so not really sure about my timing and my position. I agak agak around 1 hour 12 min which is the same as my KLIM =(. Leonard did very well this time, also Joyce and Waikuan came in to the finish line sprinting against each other hahaha, MC also excited watching both of them and shouting their names when they entered the last 50 metres.

Looks like superman eh?hehehe.

Orange Run 2008

2008-04-26T16:20:00.004+08:00

A fun run organized by BHP petrol where they wickedly cheat runners by publishing it is a 9km run...its actually 9.8-9.9 km according to some runners watches and or GPS devices. Below are the pictures of some dumb dumb who got up early in the morning when everybody is still sleeping to go to the curve NOT for shopping but to suffer LOL

Dumb dumb no.1 Alexis. Semangatnya at the starting line

Apa jadi kat finishing line =p?

Dumb dumb no.2 Joyce

Dumb dumb no.3 Shan

Orang gila no.1/Dumb dumb no.4 Laitee(I wonder who she's staring at)

Dumb dumb no.5 & 6.Leo & Jon

Spot us!

Stumbled upon this on Pacesetter site....

Hero....

2008-04-03T17:43:00.003+08:00

In the subject of heroes...as in real human everyday heroes in relation to sports, you would normally hear Lance Armstrong, the gila mangkuk crazy gila fella who won in the battle agaisnt cancer and while doing that won the Tour de France 7 times.....(those who do not know what The Tour is...its a 20+ days of cycling race that equals to running a marathon several days for 3 weeks).

But today i heard of a story where personally I felt is way beyond Lance.....

Jesus is still my most ultimate Hero.....

KLIM Day +0 - My first official race.

2008-03-31T20:16:00.008+08:00

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!

KLIM 2008 Day -1

2008-03-29T17:30:00.003+08:00

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.......

....Buttsore....

2008-03-11T20:27:00.003+08:00

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?

Tales of Paintballs

2008-03-11T00:16:00.016+08:00

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...

I'm Back.....

2008-03-01T01:50:00.004+08:00

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!!!)

Balik Kampung.
Its been years since I went back to Teluk Intan, Perak my mum's birthplace. Enjoyed looking into the horizon that seems neverending and so far, wonder if I were to run towards it, how far would it take me.

We went to my mum's uncle place too....The moment we reached, this little girl just came out of her room and just 'splat' on the floor like that.......ignoring all of us...LOL

Dinner...i wallop ALOT.......

Tour de Langkawi 2008
During the Stage 3 of TDL, our very own malaysian rider Anuar Mannan manage to gain the highest sprint points and obtained the green (sprint) jersey proving that Malaysians are capable of doing something while at the same time creating history as the first Malaysian to ever wear the green jersey in TDL. Also, the top 5 finishers were all Asians =). Although he lost it 2 days later, it still remain something to be proud of but the chances of him getting it back seems to be low. Hope that Asian riders will put up a good fight against the Europeans that have long dominated the Tour.

Below is the English version, Simple and Clean. Just skip the talking and hear hahaha.

New balance 767

2008-01-27T02:03:00.001+08:00

Went to Sunway Pyramid with family. Bought a new pair of shoes after bout 2 years of wearing the same shoe hahaha, the other shoes i wear for sports were some old sports shoe i curi from my mum hee hee.

Introducing the New Balance 767! A stability running shoe with some cushion features thrown in. Should be a good shoe la, will test it out when i'm free, by curi curi run around my neighbourhood kee kee kee. I know some of u sure say Jon kaya all these..but kesian me la, i really only had 1 'real' shoe that fully belonged to me for 2 years. I deserve 1 now right???right??

While queuing up to pay, i saw 1 bunch of el-cheapo eyewear with polarised technology and claimed to block UV up to 99.99% (yeah right) so just throw it along with the shoes haha since its quite cheap compared to those branded ones which costs RM300-RM600+. But it looks abit cacat on me, I might just give my mum la

A series of pictures where we moved only 10 metres after 5-10 mins. We were stuck in the carpark for almost 30-40 minutes. I think its because those HK stars leaving Sunway convention centre after the Astro Drama Awards thingy......haih...wasted petrol n time.

My sis is single but NOT AVAILABLE....gotta go through me first

2008-01-17T00:33:00.000+08:00

The same day i broke my collarbone, i went for Richard's birthday celebration at Wongkok's.....He belanjaed all of us, soooo generous oh him, THANKS RICHARD!!! nothing much to talk about except for picture which i'm gonna show afterwards and a certain 'news' that I do not know all this while!!!

haha...naughty me....

UPDATES :
Its the fifth day since my accident, felt a lil better at the shoulder but still unable to lift my left arm on its own. Bathing and sleeping is really a pain in the butt, bathing with 1 hand + restrictions due to the splint + cannot wet the splint....ughhh~. During lab sessions, cant do much, all I did was simple labelling and watching my lab members do all the work =(. Keep me in ur prayers...and million thanks to all of u who fetched me to uni and back...Ann, Col lin, Sin May.

New year, new blog, new goals AND 1 Fractured clavicle (collar bone)....!!!LOL

I try to keep it short. Cycled up the cheras hartamas uphill road then saw the sun rise and I felt so nice for being able to climb up here and the beautiful scenery. So decided to turn back downhill all the way back. Halfway descending, saw this drain cover part of the road, so i slowed down for it....LITTLE DID I KNOW, 1 NOT-SO-OBVIOUS HOLE was there, split second later, i entered matrix mode, i flew and next thing i know i'm on the ground. My first thought was, whether the car behind stopped, she did anyway. So took my time, slowly get up, gave a priceless gaya kneeling pose and then....ouch my left shoulder....

I felt the bruising on my left collarbone and i knew it was either fractured or dislocated, I hope dislocated, faster healing, cheaper medical bills. Walked some distance, lend a security guard's hp to call my parents to pick me up at petronas. On the way, to petronas a cyclist passed me by offering his bandage but i said its ok since my parents are coming. Cut the whole story short, x-rayed, a fracture on my left collar bone with a superficial angulation (superficial means upper, thus the angle of the fracture is upwards).

Below is a pic of my not-so-macho body on my left shoulder with the splint, cant see the bruise caused by the fracture coz covered by the splint. Girls that are sensitive, skip this pic hee hee..(i made it small so it wont cause geliness.......)

Below is my x-ray results....can see the fracture???ouch~ its supposed to be straight.

End Result :
Thank :
1) God the most, for I believe He's watching me and protected me from further harm, no doubt about that!
2) My helmet, i actually knocked my head to the tarmac road, because of it i did not feel any pain because the helmet absorbed the impact or my injury could have been worse.
3) The 3 Malay guys that offered help....once again, incidence like this make me wanna believe that racial harmony is possible. For those who are a bit biased to the other races, READ THIS!!!!!, the chinese drivers just looked and waiting for me to clear the road after my fall so they could be on their way instead of offering help.
4) my parents definitely
5) my frens who cared and worried about me, thanks brothers n sisters....

Damages/Loss:
1) my favorite Nike water bottle, it flew somewhere when i crashed.
2) my bicycle rear light
3) my adidas shade, and its my first time WEARING IT OUT!!!
4) 2 punctured tyres
