Sunday Ride

Instead of doing my routine Sunday ride up to Genting Sempah starting from Hospital Orang Asli at Batu 12 in  Gombak, I decided to park my car at the food stalls near Sekolah Teknik Gombak.

That would give me an extra 6 km from the normal starting point. So I expected to ride about (12 + 32) km this morning.

I was however tempted by the invitation by a group of cyclists to continue from Genting Sempah up to Goh Tong Jaya.

Not knowing what to expect, I just decided to join them. On the way up, I asked one of the riders about the route.

"5 km up and 2 km down"

That's the only answer I got. Short and direct to the point. True enough, it was almost a vertical climb right from the guard house where the road to Genting Highland started.

And I only managed to cycle for about 1 km up the hill. Crazy man; I don't think I could go any further. Made a u-turn with another rider. You know how steep the climb was when the ride downhill was at lightning speed and you have hard time trying to control the speed with the brakes.

Met Jimmy, another cycling blogger. He blogs here.

Anyway, I was very pleased that I managed to cycle for about 47 km this morning.

A Surprise That Never Was

I came back to office from a meeting at about 8.00 p.m. on Wednesday the last day of January and was greeted with this message in my mailbox: En. S, Happy birthday. Kita orang ingat nak surprise En S dengan birthday cake hari ni, tapi dah pukul 6 lebih En S tak balik2 lagi dari meeting. Kita orang tak leh tunggu. Happy Birthday. Jangan lupa bawak balik kek kat dalam bilik En. F. I felt sorry to the staffs of my department who took all the troubles to plan for the surprise. But it was really, really pack and hectic day that day - and the next two days thereafter. I was one year older on 31st January (Wednesday), next day (1st February) went to Batu Pahat and spent the whole day in Senggarang distributing donations to flood victims only to reach home at almost midnight. Later at about 1.40 a.m. (Friday, 2nd February) I got a call from kampung that my 2nd eldest brother finally lost his battle with the big C. Immediately woke up the kids and drove back to Kelantan. It was a very physical

Kisah Ibu dan Anak

Abg Akmal : "Ibu, Ibu kena beli ni" sambil menuding ke arah iklan U-zap dalam TV. Ibu : "Kenapa? Ibu dah gemuk ke" Abg Akmal : "Ye lah, Abang rasa Ibu dah gemuk!!". Ibu : "Eishhh, kurang asam punya budak". **************** Anak (jantan) Ku, May be when you are old enough, I will have to pull you aside and give you my fatherly advice - that remark that you just said to your Ibu, don't ever say it again in front of any woman. It could start a world war! ***************** End of filler post. More serious note will come later when I have more time to breathe.
