ORDINARY SUPERHERO

SMS from wife, Jul 30, 2010 @ 10:13AM - "Bang,yah sd she's getin married nxt sun" I was stunned for a few seconds. Hujan tak de ribut tak de, tiba2 maid aku nk kahwin hari Ahad ni,...lusa tu! Called my wife to get confirmation. Apparently, the scatchy details that were relayed to her by my maid were - the maid's uncle who is staying in keramat has accepted 'pinangan' from someone on her behalf. And she was just being told about it last night. No wonder there flurry on incoming calls to my maid's handphone, sampai nak goreng telur pun telefon terlekap kat telinga! And apparently too, my maid's parents back in Surabaya was not told about the uncle's decision. So how? I asked my wife. The maid informed my wife that she has no choice but to follow the decision. She's currently sorting out the matter with her parents in Surabaya. This was truly a shock for us. I knew about my maid's plan to take leave about a month towards the end of the year. S...

Picture of my kids enjoying their breakfasts this morning. We parked our car at Setiawangsa lrt station and took putra lrt ride to Dang Wangi station. Then crossed the river behind the station to the famous nasi lemak Dang Wangi. The nasi lemak there has been my regular place to fix my nasi lemak cravings. How good? Look at the people lining up behind our table!. Eventhough to drive to the place might be more convenient, I decided to add more fun in the journey. The kids loved the lrt ride. It was convenient and comfortable. May be because it was still early in the saturday morning. AlhamdulilLah. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

AlhamdulilLah....., I managed to complete the race - even though I felt like crawling to the finishing line. The Finisher's medal. My personal hand time was 3hrs and 02 mins. I tried all my might to clock within the qualifying time of 3hrs but I just couldn't. The last one km starting from the turn near Medan Tuanku to Dataran Merdeka seemed like one and a half mile. But nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised with my own timing. My earlier target was to finish the race in 4 hours. I was surprised that I managed to run non-stop and kept a consistent pace for the first one and a half hour. I didn't stop for a drink at the first water station at 4km mark. Since I carried my own mineral water, I just drank from my bottle. I also didn't stop at the second water station at 6.5km mark. It turned out to be a good decision as I kept on running until the third water station at 8.5km mark. By this time i have emptied my mineral water. I ran to the furthest table and asked the vo...

Let's see what's gonna happen tomorrow. When I registered myself to participate in this year's KL Marathon 2010, it was approximately 100 days to go. But how fast time flies! I got caught up with terrible work deadlines thereafter with so many things on my table. I did manage to cycle for couple of times as part of the training; but that's all that I could get. I was contemplating to withdraw myself from the event but what the heck, I thought might as well I just proceed. Who cares about the qualifying time and what not. This would be my first time participating in a half marathon event. It's going to be a race between me and myself. So what ever time I clock tomorrow would still be my personal best! Wish me luck. Thank you. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Kenapa agaknya dalam sebuah akhbar berbahasa melayu (err...bahasa malaysia?) perlu ada sampai 4 muka - ya, EMPAT MUKASURAT untuk iklan nombor ekor 4D? Kalau akhbar bahasa c*na, tak de lah rasa ralat sikit pun. Entah lah..... - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

What: Thomas Cup semi final Where: Putra Stadium, KL. It's not easy to bring down the China wall. Best of luck to the Malaysian fighters. May the force be with you. The Malaysian team must show that Impossible is Nothing. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
