Lumianated. I mean frustrated

Until now a month plus, still didn't get my device back. What kind of service la Microsoft. Malas nak elaborate 😑😡👎🏻

F1 World Champ

Never be a hard core fan of F1. Schumacher was the greatest driver I ever know. Until Nico! He came to KLCC to celebrate being the 2016 World Champion driver shortly after the last race of the season at Dubai, thank god it wasn't Lewis! Playing a second fiddle to Lewis for this entire time and now the spotlight on him. Totally deserved it. Mr nice guy too. And good looking. Ok you got it right.

We are the Silver Arrows team so yeah, kena celebrate together lah- what's the free shirt got to do if not this kan?!

Nico Roseberg. 29th Nov 2016. I know bad selfie. 

Nico 2nd December 2016. Announced his retirement. Boom!

Shocked but need to respect his decision. Baru follow iG dia 😅


Full Marathon

Ok I did it. Sort of. Completed the race, yes, full 42km, no. No regret.



Wife told me just before the race
1) don't fall down
2) it's ok, there will always be a next time

That's the version I remembered lah. 

Before flag off, it's raining and emcee keep repeating "for runners safety whoever didn't finish by 2.30am, ambulance will pick you up".

Somehow these reminders matched each other. 

I'm targeting 7hrs kinda run since the longest I prepared was 10k, itupun a week before. To be honest I don't really care about the timing or PB, as long as I completed the race. It has been the same from the first time I completed my 'marathon'. Was it a 10k or 7k? Hmm can't recall. And I need FM at night to make sure subuh tak ke laut; most local FM started at 2-3am if not 4-5am. 

So I ran. 5km, 10km.. I was like ok we can do this. Keep running. 

Personally amazed I reached 30km mark, da! It was never before!! Not with breeze tho but energy gel did help. Major let down (read excuses) organizer or rather volunteers started to closing down water stations, lack of gel panas, sponge etc etc etc. I wasn't exactly the last but your mind started to corrupted you when your body physically tired. That's the fact. Sleepy head and I don't know where else to step on, semua sakit. Put a mental note, "Urghh neraka nanti camna weh.. Ni baru dunia!"

About 2 o'oclock and I'm on 35k like that 
ambulance passed by.. After another round, abang driver tanya "Naik?". Without knowing I have choice to say no, next thing is I already inside the ambulance. I asked one of the staff (4 of them all muka tired and uninterested) "Dah start collect ke?". Ntah, was the answer. Ok whatever. Consider that was my reward and apologize from the organizer for poor event management. In fact siap tersengguk dalam ambulance! Yeah mengantuk like that. 

Balik hotel makan mee and kuewtiaw. Burp. Wifey was kind enough to teman even probably she was kinda disappointed I didn't  really run entire 42km. Maybe she felt I am not happy that I didn't get what I want. Truth is, I'm more than happy to return to my family still breathing :)

End up the morning subuh tu almost gajah I think. Will it be a next FM for me? Not now to decide. We have London in 2017 to be excited about. Wohoo
