ORDINARY SUPERHERO

Satu petang menjelang maghrib. Setelah lama 'berperang' dengan Ibunya, akhirnya Arif keluar dari bilik mandi. Arif: "Ba,...dah mandi". Baba: "(serius) susah sangat ke nak mandi?" Arif: "susah Ba..." Baba: "(masih serius)...apa yang susahnya?" Arif: "sebab 'Level' dia susah" Baba: "(mandi)...ni level berapa?" Arif: "level 3..." ***Adoi, ni semua pengaruh main games terlebih la ni.

Arif with his Ibu, Mama & Mummy. While everybody in the house call their mother Ibu, Arif is the only one who calls his mother with either Ibu, Mama or Mummy at his discretion.  Ikut suka hati dia aje.   

This is the game plan for this weekend. Friday Night: Futsal match with fellow SDARA '84. It will be competitive game, I can ensure that even though we call it friendly game. He he....it will not be a friendly when inter-batch bragging rights are at stake plus a challenge trophy to grab! Saturday: to rest for running event on Sunday, but of course that will include normal and usual Saturday duties. Kids have co-curriculum activities in the morning and tuitions in the afternoon. Also need to go to pasar tani to buy usual stuffs. Sunday: I have to choose between running for 14.5km somewhere in Puncak Alam in the Dragon Back Run 2013, or to participate in the 48km Challenge Category in the middle of Kuala Lumpur in the OCBC Ride 2013. I am choosing to do the Dragon Back Run, because of the challenge it provides. Not often you will get the opportunity to tackle the hills of the famous dragon back route on foot. I have tackled the route on my bike before and the sight of the ...

I never thought that one day I will be doing a duathlon event.  Really and seriously, I thought it was beyond me. I have set a personal target to do a Full Marathon (42km) run at the age of 42, which I did. But still I thought a duathlon event still a step too far.  In fact I did the FM twice already, at the StanChart KL Marathon - in year 2011 and this year. I still struggled to complete the 42km run within 6 hours. I was not satisfied with my trainings, I mean with my commitment to the rigorous training demands of doing a Full Marathon event. If you don't have enough mileage, there is no way your body could withstand the running over 42km within 6 hours, injury free. In my case, my training would always start to slack towards the closer date of the FM event. Coming back to this Malakoff Powerman 2012 event, I registered for the Sprint Category mainly because I felt so 'tercabar' when a friend of mine put up in the fb that he has registered himself for the event. You s...

Alahai....nak tengok blog sendiri pun kurang semangat. Lamanya tak update. Eishhh, tak leh jadi ni. Nak kena update. Mesti update. Must maintain this blog.

Dah malas dan sangat berat untuk mengemaskinikan blog ni dengan entry-entry yang terbaru. Mungkin fb patut dipersalahkan sebab terlalu senang untuk update status fb berbanding nak buat entry dalam blog ni. Sabar je la.

Yup, the parcel had arrived yesterday evening. Even though earlier in the day I got text message to expect delivery within 3 days. The BIG question is, DAH READY KE?
