ORDINARY SUPERHERO

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.

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

For the last two weeks, the Treasury office at the Ministry of Finance was like my second office. I would be there from morning for meeting (long ardous and boring meeting, I must add) that would ended well after maghrib. Even Sunday was not spared. After the meeting, I would usually go back to office to attend to consequential updates of documents or providing comments on new documents received from external legal counsel from different part of the globe working in different time zones. It's really really hectic. Hope the deal will be completed according to the timeline, as I really really need a breather. This picture was taken when I went to Putrajaya mosque for friday prayer last week. I just discovered that there was a walking path underneath the bridge from the Ministry of Finance to the mosque. I could walk straight up to the Souq and then to the mosque. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
