I am going home...

Yesss... Today is the day! I am going back to my lovely hometown. I am packing my stuff now. Will catch my flight in the afternoon. I feel happy and relieved. I am happy because I can go for a long holiday, enjoy the foods and meeting with my frens n family. It will be a wonderful time over there. I relieved because I am getting better from the Flu. I can't wait to see my fiancee too.

My post will be very short today as I need more time to pack up my things... hahaha. One thing for sure, I will be enjoying lots and lots of beers as I have several events to attend. Wedding events for sure, and some outings as well. So, who cares.... I am not working anyway :)

One nice facts I read from the magazine (Menhealth). We always think that beer gives us belly. But the fact is:

1. When  we drink alcohol, liver stop using fatty acids for  fuel and switches to using alcohol instead.

2. So, it leaves the fatty acids it should have been using to be stored in adipose tissue.

3. Eventually, beer belly is formed.

Thank you, and have a great day! (THE END)

My 28th Birthday

Before my birthday is over, I want to write something about it. Today, is my 28th Birthday...... Looking back at the past, many things have changed. I would say that I am on the right track about what I want to achieve and what I want to become. The latter is difficult to be defined, because only me can understand what it is all about.

Time flies really fast. It flies really fast until at some point, I didnt realized that somehow I was left out from the things that I suppose to accomplish according to my plan. Anyway, thanks to God, everything still go smoothly until now. Life is full of challenges, difficulties, crossroads, uncertainties etc. But we must not run from it, rather than embrace life as a gift from God. Life is not easy. I failed for many times. There were times when I feel like to quit..... but I believe, I should only rest & take a break, but must not quit.

God willing, 28 seems to be the last number of me being a bachelor. After that, I will be known as a married man. Some people say, its "GAME OVER". It could be true, but for me not 100% true.... Its more on how you as a couple fit each other. Of course there is no such thing as Mr Right or Ms Right....no such thing as u meant for me, and i meant for you... Its more on how compromise is being stressed in a life as a couple.

Personally, I am looking forward for my wedding day..... and I am looking forward to live with the person I have chosen. I have thousand reasons to choose my girlfriend as a love of my life :) (Jangan kau kembang sana)

I got a beautiful Birthday wish from my fiancee... this is what she said:

If we lit a bday candle 4 evry wise words u’ve spoken, evry caring deed u’ve done & evry single life u’ve touchd, the room wil b filld wit 'RAYdiant' glows..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my Fiance!

I wish u happiness & hope ur aspirations wil bcome reality.. N I want 2 b there 4 u. I love u so much! God bless u..

tell ...me what ribbon colour u like.. i'll tie it arnd me :p

 

Its simple, yet very meaningful for me. Its the best birthday wishes I ever had so far...... So, I framed it on my Blog....

KL Marathon 2010

It's only 38 days from now and I don't know what the hell I am thinking at the moment.... I feel like to withdraw myself from the full marathon category and just re-register for the half marathon category. I think about the hot wheather, and many of my friends whom will take for the half category only. I was thinking, can I stand running under the hot sun? will I make it? dunno... but as at the time of writing, I am more comfortable to go for the half-marathon.

This is what I called, mood swing! Infact I just sent an email asking about any posibility of changing category. We will see what the reply would be by tomorrow.

There is one laundry shop located just over the road near the condo I am staying. I send my clothes there frequently and I am quite satisfied with their service so far. But what makes me irritated is, the old eyebrow-less woman is so damn like shit in terms of customer service. Just imagine the face is like asshole everytime I look at her. She never say a word through the whole transaction. Its like we already have understanding of what should be done which is,

1. I come, put my clothes on the table

2. She take it, put on weighing machine

3. She write the bill and ask me to sign

4. I pay money, take the receipt and leave.

Well, I dont mind for I am not interested to talk with her though. But, recently, and just recently she have a thought that she is a beautiful queen. Instead of doing item no 2 above, she expect me to do it myself. I was so pissed off when she pretended like nothing happened and just left the clothes on the table, expect me to put it on my own.

I was ready to burst out and just wait for a right time to let my curse go. So I didnt do anything.... I know, without doing item no 2, she wont be able to write a bill. So, I just waited and do nothing. At last, she throw a black face at me (in fact her face is already like shit) and just drag the clothes to the weighing machine.

Haihh.... if not because of the location is near and service is quite ok... I wont go to this laundry anymore. I just hate to see her face every week. Never mind, I will keep on going there until I can I can find a reason to say my words for her. After that, I will go and find another laundry shop... hehehe

New Balance Pacesetters 15 KM Run

I woke up at 5:00 am today and get myself ready for the run. I was kinda lazy and thought like... "ahh what is this" as I had in in mind that this run will be easy for me. I even had a couple of beers the night before with my friend, Alex.

The event started sharp at 7.15 am for Men's Open Category. I ran with peace of mind, listening to my musics. Just about 20 minutes running, I started to feel pain all over my leg... I was thinking, what the heck with this!! Its just 20 minutes or 2-3KM away which I were not so sure and this is happening to me? I was then try to recall what had gone wrong.

I realized that first, I did not maintain my speed evenly. I had been going very fast from the starting point.... I remember how I started for the Penang Bridge Marathon which is very contrary to this. I tried slowing down by hope the pain will go away, but it won't. I came to realized then, that the route was hilly. Thing become the most difficult for me when running uphill. I cursed for many times. My leg pain was almost unbearable. I was thinking that I am going to fail. Can you imagine, how embarrasing is that? My arrogance was paid off! Kotoh!

I prayed to God, so that the pain will go away. Well, the pain was still there, until I almost fell to the ground as I did not watch my steps properly. I was shocked, peoples were looking at me, but I didn't hear whatever they said as I was on my MP3 and I didn't bother.... hahaha... When that happened, I felt my adrenaline 'rushing/flowing' all over my body and I became super alerted. I didn't realize that the pain suddenly gone. I smiled when I thought of my prayer earlier. "Ohh... thats the way You do it? Thanks by the way :)"... hahaha....

I continued running until the 8th KM.... I checked my watch and it was already 8:00 am. Gosh, 7 KM to go.... and by saying that, my route went uphill again.... There were times, when I just want to give up. I stopped, and thinking of walking only. But I remember, that by stopping will only make me weak and de-motivated. I forced myself to run....  and took a deep breath simultaneously.

I reached the finish line around 8:47 am... and I guess my unofficial time is 1 Hr 32 Mins.... we'll wait until the final list come out. I proceed to get my finisher medal, and straight away trying to cool down myself. I was not feel any excitement and joy as what I experienced in Penang before, but I was thankful to God because I managed to complete it within the qualifying time. Thanks God. :)

I am gonna check the Standard Chatered Marathon route after this. If they use the same hilly route as this, I am gonna back off and re-register myself only for the half-marathon category. I know I will never do it for hilly route.

I think, it is very important to buy one pouch to get my things intact. It was really troublesome to run while holding your key, and wondering your wallet, camera or handphone is safe inside your car.... Those of you who planned to to join such event like this, pls bring all necessary items together to sustain you during the whole run. You will get tired, you will have muscle pain, cramped etc... so bring some medication and hi-energy bars... haha...

Good luck and All the best!!
