10:10:30:30 Coming very soon...

ever heard of of the collision of dates, at first i do not realized it until i looked at our newly received company's calender...isk..wow..it really is, ...wondering what do i mean by it, well for a start next year i will be 30 and i was born on 30th day of the 10th month of the year , 30:10 vs 30:10...what a coincidence right...

talking about new year, new beginning kan...resolution ...azam ler kan..mm i don't believe making it as a routine- for me, but it actually a good way to keep track of your commitment towards something or part of your life, there a lot of things that if look back that were never planned to be completed this year, wow...my uncharted life has taken me to places and heights that thought impossible, for your info, i started this year with  very painful memories and stories, consumed with sadness and losing my self esteem. almost throwing myself down the drain...luckily i was save by a good Samaritan and turned around my life...enuf with the past kan...lets moves on...

mm so many things that are interesting to look up for ..although this year had been tough on me physically and emotionally albeit it is the most exciting phase of my life, race calendar pun dah leh thn penuh gak hehe, plus holiday trips, mm hopefully it will be an exciting new begining, ...memacam ler rumah baru pun lum masuk lagi, thought of making it the perfect bachelor's crib kan..plus my craving for having my own MTB , mm sodap jugak tur, looking at the price both may cost...need some really really tight arrangement...

hehe hopefully a greater success next year....

09 Race's Finale :Malakoff 12km , Kiara Equestrian Club

  melawatian runners

huhu i was contempt in joining this race, made last mintue decision to sign up when my friend said she is going to Pacesetter's office, hehe wow what a race it was and my finale for this year,

The route was tortorous there were just hills and steep slopes everywhere, macam mountaineerin pun ade gak, although it's only 12 km perrggg penat nyer macam lari naik gunung, ciss sabor ler....i had expected the route to this be torturing therefore i had set in my mind to just breeze through the run like my day to day training..though it did not had that many bukutbukit gampang as one of my friend used to said, hehe,

the race venue lack of parking space, cuwak jugak, mane ler nak letak kete aku ni, nasib baik gak ler its not the very canggih ones ler or else risau gak, finally parked on the slopes nearby the Security Commission's Office, mm biase ler aku ni pepagi kalau sebelum race ade jer miskal ler, message ler segala bagai, looked at line to the toilet perrggg mmm, susah tul nak tgk race or events with ample toilets such PBIM and SCSM,.....itu ler problem guerr ni...macam masalah negara jer when it comes to starting line, geram sgt kalau kurang minum nanti cepat haus, terlebih ni lka jadi nyer, dah pepagi tu sejuk lak...lagi bertambah ler keperitannya masa berlari huhhu....

Meet up with my fellow Melawatian runners, sume muke toye jer pepagi kene bangun berlari hehe, luckily i stayed nearby, so leh ler Subuh dulu, x ler rase bersalah ..ingat pesanan Kak Haza..and ade jugak anniversary runners , Uda, hehe keep on running Bro... This time they gave us the timing chip, tied up on running shoes, besar lak tur, rasenyer mcm Badge ade gak..heheh, the starting line was a bit narrow and with astounding number of runners, tahu je lar... we need to walk until we reached the start line arch,

The route tak payah ler nak citer lagi kan..bukit bukit ajer ..pastu lak tur.. kene wat 2nd lap...felt like crying pun ade jugak ler..i thought this would be a very fun run ler.. end up to be a very tortorous ones yer even to the minds, this time around i do not brought any powergel chehh berlagak power ke, nope , i wanted to test my endurance from taking this sport drinks, katanyer it will boost my endurance , hehe, did it works? in terms of averting muscle pains , abit ler, endurance, so so jer lar kot, anyway bought it at least i dont have to take solid food before the race... mmm ape lagi ek.. ahh water station dia ok ler, tapi sedikit lembab in pouring the water in the plastic cups, aku redah jer amik botol jer...dah lembab sgt.... aku dah ler haus...

when i started running, my pace was a little bit kelam kabut ler, so thought of using my friend,Loh, as my pacer, alih alih aku di tinggalkan lak sbb kene detour jap taking a leak isk, nasib baik ler ade port kalau tak pelari kemut ler aku jadinyer bak kata Nadia, huhuh..

the after race goodie bags were very very cheap, anyway a medal and rencah nasi goreng ???? but the after food choice was superb gak, ade mee mamak with tau fu far, roti jala with cendol, the cendol looks familiar rupenyer cendol melawati ler.... sat down by the kerb having my breakfast ;taufu far and mee mamak looking over the equestrian field watching horses running around wahh.. bery english country side ler konon... hehe

we had our extensive after run photoshoots then off to our normal routines...

What a race to end the 09 running calendar..huhhuh hurrraaahahahha

Final verdict : time 1 hr 7 mins, leaking problem still remain unsolved

To begin is half way finish, Hijrah 1431

in jive with the theme this year, some recaps on Sirah, hehe , hijrah yang bermula dengan Our Prophet SAW, accepting the calling from the Almighty to move to Madinah and recite there when time is right descend back to Makkah, as we all knows, Arabs are well known for the Asabiahans..thus making unification very much a utopia that time...good triumph over adversity, unification was done..through the teaching of Islam....

begitu ler kehidupan ini, setiap kesusahan itu akan ade ganjaran jika kita tabah menghadapi, mm what a year it was for me, why am i writing this today, is not the end of the year just yet, as for me my year started here, ceee wahh, a reminder to myself bile nak achieve that goal..mmm

My running adventure started this year....

it unfolded after my first run Towerthon at Menara KL in March 09, started as a challenge by trainer cum colleague Bro Ian, my running was only for my weight issues sahaja, in quest for staying lean and thin katanyer...hehe punyer ler tak tahu kan...keep on reading the racing rules over and over again ajer.... the mm habis jugak ekk...siap pakai racing tshirt lagi, hehe itu mase tu x tahu pun langsung pasal racing racing ni....hehe

my next attempt , was 10km run in Melawati, where i met my old schoolmates whom are an avid runners too, from then on running had been so infectious in everyforms ler..., from then on i went to, mm let me recaps kejap ek...

I used to lounge around doing nothing during weekends, now i had something to look for and trained for , a purpose to work and challenge myself, some of my friends may think i'm just nuts , nuts about keeping my spirit high, mentally tough and spurring positive vibes,mm can't see anything wrong with that, shared with my family now,..they like it, my ultimate goal is to become a triathlete, gtu kan.. hopefully one day i will be one...Satu Penhijrahan yang masih ku nanti

Geram....

Geram that is what im feeling right now about myself...what had happened to me lerr..i'm slowly losing the grip of doing my job nowadays, having less and less mood to work, ...baru jer kene marah dengan bos tadi, got my grammar all ...terabur all over the place..pergg pulak tu kene lak compared dengan new guy..tension lak aku...this is really not me at all....need to lift up and take that extra mile ...knowing my strenght, should i be ignoring my weakness ke?......nasib baik ler bos aku ni sabar hehe kalau tak dah memang kene fired ler aku ni.....bos aku ni baik tapi kekadang tu leh mendatang rase kemarahan yang tahap maksimus jugak can't blame him, he sees more than what i am seeing...different horizon kan...

dah ler tur GE 30k entah ler GE ke NB entahler mane satu ni? esok baru nak pergi Pacesetter 's office ni...to submit some registration forms ,kat mane pun aku x tahu ,alamat rasenyer macam rumah orang jer name Kenny..huh? katanyer lagi jauh lak tur...mmm hopefully i could do 30km by then..

Adidas Sundown = Marathon or 21 km jer?

That is what lingers in my mind now, nak pergi ke tidak, is not that? Should i be doing my first marathon by that time, hehe takut pun ade ni.. although it is in my plan to do full by 2010, gerun jugak ler...dah ler another 5 months away, ade my friends cakap dont do your first at night cause you body is not accustomed to night runs...mmm entah ler..mane satu ler..ni...early bird fees is expiring this Thursday,...should i or should not?

Recovery Run or Mood Recovery?

mmm this is what happened to me, after every run i tend to ditch out running for quite a few days kekadang tu, itu le nak wat recovery run bermacam macam dugaan ler, that twicth in the morning then i decided maybe i had not enough rest pulak, well what the heck, pagi tadi aku lari jer 5km...ituler kekadang it becomes a mood recovery instead of recovery run...well it will act as catalyst to your upcoming runs,..or else contemplating ajer lar in your head...

hehehe...i'm stuck with so many works now....tension pun ade dah ler ujung tahun...upcoming ade Malakoff so nak kene train jugak tur...got to get the grooves back..fast

GBS Trail Run 12 December 2009

Taken from Cheramiche blog's for those whom interested

Our next trail running session will be held @ Batu Dam trail @ Selayang (not Batu Dam in Jalan Ipoh ya). This serves as a bonus run for those who had ran the Salomon X-trail and to give the chance to those whom missed it (some of them were running on road @ Singapore) :P

Date : 12 December 2009

Time : Meet @ 7.30 am, Run starts @ 7.45 am sharp! :P

Meeting Place : *TBC

Suggested route : a loop around the dam (either start with the trail then tarmac or tarmac 1st, later trail) < ?

*I wasnt sure bout parking. Do u guys want to park near the dam entrance (start with ascending the dam) or the parking near the small park by the dam? (the 2nd gate). The latter has limited parking space but starts flat out. (as usual, i hate the 'running up' part) - TBC*

Length : About 9 km or so, 1 - 2 hours running, easy to moderate terrain.

Appreciate it for those who have experience riding/running this route to help during the session :) and as usual, i'll be your dearest sweeper :P (to make sure Diket didnt get lost) :P haha.. jgn marah bro!

Suggestion(s) still open until Friday! for any suggestion -please post it here at Cheramiche blogs

Post SCSM09 (Updated)

Wow completed my second 21 km , i cant even believed it myself,... kind of bored in the bus, why not blog kan, it could be i'm not that too tired as i thought i am, could be, thanx to bro ian yg racun i to singapore and kak kash for sponsoring the bib, the run was fun n exciting, i never ventured outside, i guess the curiosity somehow made me stride harder to find what's next?

The scenery were mixed of concrete jungle n the seaside view, the weather was fine, gradually increased towards noon, i am surprised that i could actually completed the race within the qualifying time, this was very very last minute attempt, arrived in jb at 9pm then off to sgpore at 3am, the run start at 6.45 am, adoi x rest pun, luckily the bus was ok leh lar , tido ler kejap, gile punyer keje, no wonder my instinct is telling me that i will be in sgpore this weekend, met up with my fellow kaki runners n melawatian runners,

final verdict: time 2hr 7 min, leaking n muscle cramp remains unsolved

Official result : timing 2 hr 9 min and placing 837 out of 6000++ ( betul ke ni? ramai sungguh)

Here are some pics theme :lari lari Singapore

Yup that's the way to go

The marathon guru's

starting at 6.45 am pergg

1-Arm-Runner, 2009

The above quote was taken from 1-arm runner.blogspot, which is very inspiring, it somehow related to what im feeling right now...well it could be due to the fact that i yet again failed at mastering my squash skills...well ...im just sucks big time at that game. balik balik kene sayur ajer...shall i just put my racket down and stick to what i do best..mmm and suddenly arush of thoughts came into my mind , may be im just sucks at any sports using the extended features on your left and right body...the hands..tak bersyukur pulak rasanyer aku bile cakap macam tu pulak...having read what had happen to the guy above, it could be just me itself....

entahler tried bowling even beli bola lagi..pun sucks...hai fenat ler..dah practice berulang ulang kali...is it my mind that is controlling my hands or my emotions instead..mm confused..mane satu nak dengar kot?? i took up squash as a bid to divversify my workout regime, having running ajer pun bosan jugak..so i did managed to convince one of colleuge whom is an avid turn pro squash's player..Abg Zul, a couple of people turn up....from then on...i got fired up..wah seronok nyer squash ni...cehh..i was inspired whenever i passed the court on my way to the gym....now after few weeks from the first aquintance.... im feeling the pain of defeat after defeat....alamak..tetibe this thought came to me..may be im just sucks at sport that involve usage of the hand...entahler pengkau kot...

well my days of squash would be over ke....mmm having read that article on his achivement...well u should just redah ajer....
