Update Duke*thon

(Picture: the start(yellow)/end(white) arches)

AlhamdulilLah, the run went out quite alright for me.

I reached the place quite early roughly about fifteen minutes before seven in the morning. I saw the organiser was trying to put up the hot air balloon. Went round and round looking for registration booth but turned out that there was no need for registration. They just collect the slip once the participants were gathered in the starting area.

This time the build up was not as exciting as the one I had experienced during the KL Marathon 2009. There was flurry of camera flashes when the VIP arrived and suddenly I heard the starting gun shot.

Haiyaa, tak thrill langsung.

I was with my office partner for the first 1 - 1.5km when I found it though to follow his pace, so I drifted behind a bit but I could still see him in the crowd about 20 meters from me.

Well, that's what happen when you don't train much! Heh he he...

My partner has been running very diligently as opposed to me as I would have to decide between cycling or running. Besides the last two weekends I have been going up and down to KB visiting my brother.

Anyway, I am still satisfied that I managed to complete the event with personal hand timed of 34 mins 48 secs.

More importantly, I had fun, met some old friends that I have not met for many years.

Updated 23rd May 2007 SELAMAT HARI IBU.....LAGI Since people say that Mother's Day should not be confined to 13th May only but Mothers must be appreciated every day, 365 day a year instead. So I decided to let the post below shall remain, for the time being. :) *********** The truth is, as you may have already known, I am very very very busy.......and penat, letih, terduduk, terbaring kesibukan. Original Post SELAMAT HARI IBU My 'Selamat Hari IBU' wish goes to....

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.

Tajuk Apa (?) Entah...

Waah, how nice blogging in the comfort of your private garden. You can smell the freshness of the newly-cut grass. Especially if the grass was cut by none other than YOURSELF. Proud of myself. There is a sense of accomplishment. Blogging and grass cutting..... 2 in 1. Pictures later. I'm still trying to figure out how to beam the pictures from my handphone to my computer via gigi biru (bluetooth). Have a good day!
