Megenang Jasa Guru...

Last week, i received an sms from fellow coursemate and happened to be my ex-colleague too, my loveable, bubbly, fun, cheerful, chirpy and ever helpful Doctor cum my supervisor of final project during Uni year's is being hospitalised for dengue fever, critical -liver and kidney failures, Ya Allah, ...

Dengue fever is caused by Dengue virus (DENV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, some info on dengue, it has no cure, the medical world could only prevent from the virus from spreading throughout the body, bahaya tu so prevention very much better than curing...i had it and i was lucky to be given a second chance, a second chance...

I visited him yesterday at Hospital Serdang, ICU,(teruk nyer hospital ni baru jer bape tahun tapi aiyo sgt teruk yer maintenance dia, dirty..) he was been quarantined, i could only see him from the glass door, he is not doing very well albeit he had recovered from the critical stage last week, i did not managed to talk to him, he is still unconscious though the nurse said that he is recovering, liver started to function normally again however the kidney still requires dialysis, watching a helpless body on the bed whom used to fill any room with laughter and that never ending passion for teaching makes me sad and ..yup i did cried, this man helped me to be what i am today, how could i not be...yeah yeah...i know..u can call me sentimental freak...

by the way his name is Dr. Luqman Chuah Abdulahh (Teong Guan), i been to his wedding, he never ceased to help us in any situation we are in, during our student days,...i pray that he will be back in his feet again ..as bubbly and cheerful as ever......he gave us a lead to live now he is fighting for one...may God be with you though u failed to make here...u had gave us all the gift that only God would be able to return it...

Still Hoping......

world cup fever

Never would thought I said this, but I'm having one guess, haha could it be
May be looking at crowd n I got into the bandwagon, it is hard not to, everyday they kept huming to the tune of the game, well my all time fav squad is the argentine, I'm not a big addict to football as to my brothers,

They certainly eat breathe and drink football, as for me I enjoy the beauty of the game and the challenge,

Hoping the game to cure my longing towards running, each and everyday I could just picture myself on the road, one day...for as many to come

Go Argentina...and coincidence my bday is the same as Maradona...

The A Team


 
Wow... that my word describing this movie...

Plot: 
It is ok. very entertaining and captivating, but at times u really wonder what they actually looking for? As for me i got a hind from reading the preview before the movie, The interaction and humor between the characters expecially BA and Murdoch was hilariously funny and cute..., the redemption journey's was done on very large scale and at times look so supra real, like blowing a Container ship may be worth more than the cost making the movie( tapi itu effects lar kan) but really can it be real..hehe, anyway in a nutshell, the plot were fun and nothing short of fun, amazement and sweat plus quick JBond romance...

Action:
No short of it for the entire duration....of the film yar,....uolzz...

Romance:
Mmmm a short and quick with Metro soldier cum romeo "face" with the Hot and Sexy "Sosa"..i like it, not overshadowing the team core plot...

Music:
It's ok...nothing new to be hype about...


Verdict : I gave it 4 stars cause it did not make me want to puke or felt asleep or talk during the movie plus..the action were fantastic and hillarious at times....

Little Seafood Hawker Behind Bukit Bintang

 
The damaged was done on Thursday, two days before my big Futsal match..., It was my best friend's Bday, owh he is turning 31 ...poor chap...talking like u are 21 years old ke..hahah anyway the place was located behind Starhill hopping center, not to say immediate behind but a little walk from the end of the shopping center  then u will find a medan selera kind of joint, and the seafood hawker is the first one at the very beginning of rows of stalls, Don't freak out if u saw only Chinese food court but this one is Halal, they had been established since the Campbell hawker center , if u remember those days ...back...

I had prepared myself with an empty stomach...it was recommended by one of our friend ,boasting to have one of the best money can buy seafood delights...mmmm in KL....???? We ordered two plates of main dish, that are sweet and sour lala and garlic fried prawns plus side dishes Kueyteow Goreng, Nasi Goreng and Sayur Ubi goreng ( i think so ler...i can't recall the exact words as there no menus on the table)..hehehe..wow to my surprise the foods were prepared very quickly and the taste was fantastic...the Lala and the prawns were so fresh..mmm almost did not believe it myself, though i did not eat the prawns..allergic here...but who cares...hehe..i wallup the Lala like crazy ler...like no body business...with the tune sneezing and wheezing, hahah it is just so me and seafood...(Hippoallergenic..hahah)

i think i might had pounded a little too much glucosamine in my blood...that night, it was a happy night...celebrating a Bday and my empty stomach....

Huhaha...me....the damage was about RM156.00 for 4 persons, but looking at the leftovers u could says it is well worth every penny...

Knee Injury.....Over rated.,,,13PG..Dr...

haha ape nyer title ler i letak ni kan...ayo sgt ler...anyway..i had an intense discussion with Ian regarding Dr. advices on sport's related injuries, Diagnosis versus Techniques, do anyone ever think about this when u come to the doctor to seek for advice on your knee or what ever is hurting...especially runners...well for  a start i didn't..

Bro Ian was in the same situation as i am, the doctor opined that he should go a surgery, mmm...i wonder why i did it..mmm, pondering, well for a start, my doc. said i'll be running again and he never said that i'll never run again plus he said that  my condition is treatable, he said it is mechanical problems, first of all , u can't see what is happening inside ur knee kan, so how can u tell ,is it ok or not? .kan...but did u ever look back at the cause of your injuries or not,mm... let me spill out the beans yer...what happened to me...

As u get physical, ceh..wah.. not that one ler, when u get your physique right, then u start to challenge your body for higher mileage, my pain did not started when i went into 10km, it started when i cross the 21km mark, mmm...could this just be i'm not up to it, well may be it is, why? cause i did not train enough plus , had u ever wonder about your running techniques, if  u are running in pain that means ur techniques are wrong, pain versus fatigue is two different things yer, u could have less energy but pain free, if u master the right techniques u'll be liberated from all the pains....Yes my dear runners friends it all about techniques, which i tend to put it all aside,  thinking endurance is all i need to carry on that higher mileage , if u are running pain free ..it could just be you have the right techniques all the time without realizing it yourself,

Learning my own painful mistakes , makes me re-look back at the things i could have done top prevent this mess i'm in, perfecting my techniques rather than pushing for higher mileage weekly, yes , the first step is critical,

Looking at the status in some of the runner's blog , aiyo leh wat kelab ler...hehehe. anyway..some of the comments could just be over rated ler, none of the doctors would tell u to train or changed your running techniques..kan...mine did not, but i found it myself ....and with the help so called Google ler....ok..as for the Doctors, yup ,they are good in giving diagnosis, but when it comes to the solutions and recovery, u need to ask yourself whether is it worth or not.? Well mine is, but it could be avoided...though

Before i end this, i would like to congratulate to all runners of Sundown...

especially Kak Haza and Kak Kash amazing women ler depa ni...and as for Nik, wow man u upgraded my bib into Ultra, i'm so proud of u, i wish i could run again,...soon

Happy Training To All

Aku Mahu Lari...Tapi....

This sounds like normal phrase for any person whom were in too much of stress...haha it has been almost three months since my operations, but the pain is still there, need to check back with the Doc, What happen? yikes, please don't tell me that i can't run anymore, could this be a recovery phase, i'm confused, may be i'm just pushing myself too hard, not stopping when the pain strikes, though of it would be off after a rest, i had to do intermittent non impact cardio, interchanging from stationary bike to the treadmill, taking it step by step, wow it really not an easy path to take, well i opted for it, no choice , i had too or else it would be severed,

Aku Mahu Lari....for a runnerholics as me it is hard not able to enjoy doing what u like most, well that what u call takdir, it can happen when He says He will and it did, i can't escape my destiny, this time around i'll be the person cheering by the side, yeeehooo, feeling really sad and disappointed, well at least its the end of my running world indefinitely, i will be back in god knows , but hoping it will as soon as possible, hehehe, if you keep on thinking that why must this happen to me? aiya u be gila lar...accept it like a champ and push through it with high hope and spirit, it is hard on me...sedih sob sob sob...heheh itu ler tak nak dengar cakap orang habis tu...asyik nak dok dengar jadi ler kita yang biasa biasa ajer....Mcm bunyi Dr. Azizan pulak,

But what worries me most, is that,  i don't feel like i used to when ever there is a running event coming up, opps had i lost interest in competing, i'm not drawn so much into it, even to fact of knowing there is one coming up, i guess i'm being slacking for quite sometimes, out of shape body, losing focus, aiya this can not be maaa....hopefully resurrection is coming soon,

Reading from previous case study discussed in the net, well most of them were thankful having the kind of surgery i did and they took at least 5 months to recover fully, may be i should just be patience and do the same lorr, kan...

sometimes people throw all sorts of questions of why and how did u get ur knee busted, when i said due to run, ha???they get confused?? and concluded that i had a weak knee or just not fit to run, could it be due to that, then comes another question? bila start lari, i said baru tahun lepas, wah...ape yang ko wat sampai leh rosak, aiyo macam macam soalan yang panas and pedas ler...entah ler..maybe i was not build as a runner, could just be my techniques ler, or no stretching or over train, x leh cakap over train cause a lot of people ran higher milage than me. ..then what yer...alamak susah nak jawab ler...may be this the way The God to say enough...please be mindful of your body next time around...

Lagi teruk bila i jawab, i will not stop running, their typical answers will be, ko ni dah gile yer! mahal tu lutut ko! lantak ler ko kalau nak sakit lagi lari ler! sudah ler...ko tu bukan nyer leh lari pun! behenti jer lar!, aiyo tak de lak satu statement yang mengalakkan, susah tul...anyway being Octoberian, known for its ego, redah jer...peduli ler ape depa nak cakap, kekadang tu susah gak...aiyo what happen ler to my english here berterabur ler, sorry ler, kalau bos aku baca ni habis ler kene wat correction from top to bottom..hehe lari tajuk lak...those are the kind of reactions that i would normally received if were to moot any of my suggestion back into running. I know they really care about and the tribulation i been through post recovery, well a little understanding would be helpful...

Sometimes u can beat the odds  you just to adjust around it, sometimes i just dont understand the mechanics of it....aiya...i will carry on my dream of becoming  a Triathlete, hopefully it would be the end...praying so hard it is not......

Last but not least Happy Training To All

p/s: for those joining Sundown this Saturday Good Luck and Happy Wesak Day to all

Knowledge Sharing- Glycogen

Glycogen is the molecule that functions as the secondary long-term energy storage in animal and fungi cells. It is made primarily by the liver and the muscles, but can also be made by glycogenesis within the brain and stomach. Glycogen is the analogue of starch, a less branched glucose polymer in plants, and is commonly referred to as animal starch, having a similar structure to amylopectin. Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle. Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose, but one that is less compact than the energy reserves of triglycerides (lipids). In the liver hepatocytes, glycogen can compose up to 8% of the fresh weight (100–120 g in an adult) soon after a meal. Only the glycogen stored in the liver can be made accessible to other organs. In the muscles, glycogen is found in a much lower concentration (1% to 2% of the muscle mass), but the total amount exceeds that in the liver. However the amount of glycogen stored in the body, especially within the red blood cells,liver & muscles, mostly depends on physical training, basal metabolic rate and eating habits such as intermittent fasting. Small amounts of glycogen are found in the kidneys, and even smaller amounts in certain glial cells in the brain and white blood cells. The uterus also stores glycogen during pregnancy to nourish the embryo
