On Your Mark...

Alhamdulillah..puasa 6 dah selesai. So boleh move to the next objective.

For the past week:
1) Upset with things beyond my control but let's put thing into perspective 

2) Ah, got my new IC but somehow picture quality so bad la. Dah la muka tak photogenic

3) Man Utd performance is absolutely outstanding! A lot to be learnt from SAF especially in managing player. He simply can let players go (get good players in exchange). And still get the result! #HRMtakeNoteOK

4) I'm cool on life without TV (yes definitely astro-less). But that has to come to the end soon

5) Ok people don't watch Buletin Utama (BU) then korang nak komplen itu ini etc channel beratus, tukar la! Btw memang kecewa pun dengan content BU sekarang ni (aku boleh komplen sebab tak tengok!)

Oh, ke KL lagi kita minggu ni yo!

My Weak so Far

Yes, read it as weak people coz I'm so weak to type the proper word. How irony right now I'm reading "Happiness in Hard Times". Pffftt.. Wait, wait. I'm good. It just the people I'm dealing with. Emotionally I'm ok -ada rasa sket nak pelempang budak-budak celebrate birthday kat McD; makan kat dalam bilik tu dah la, kau nak lari sana-sini apahal? Bukan 3-4 tahun umur. See how fine I am?

Nevermind. The most important thing I will spend my weekend at MIRI.

Next:
1) I will be running
2) I'll be me again. Magic

Seronoknya Balik Labuan! 

Ok now Raya leave is officially over. So fast time flies. From the last post, been busy with stuff. So no updatelah from last post.
Let's review on Ramadhan first. I've lost 3kg+ which is so surprising (all this while dok lari, 1kilo pun payah-payah). Don't get too excited because in no time all the losses will count for nothing IF I keep eating and eating (plus sleeping). The point is, looking at what Ramadhan did to us externally, it is equally important to evaluate what it did to us internally..Right?

Then 31st Aug, Raya came. It's my second time to beraya at my other half places and I'm ok with it. Different experience. Hari Raya is for us to bersyukur and make others happy. As many as possible. Not that I'm really good at it but hopefully I'm in the right direction. Amiiin.

Oh, one thing for sure, I'm really good on Foursquare this Raya. Will share later if possible :P not that so proud with the achievement, it just to document my journey. So don't get me wrong people.

To conclude this entry I have to admit that I have super good of selera makan (coincides with the yummy foods)when I'm away from Labuan. That's the challenge now. The desire to run is burning inside me (part of me said: boleh blah). So it's time to hit the ground but let's start and finish the Puasa Enam first.#ThingYouShouldntMiss

Just Before Take Off

Ok this is funny (yeah right!). One moment I tweeted "avoiding familiar faces" the next thing I know, my boss sit next to me!! Out of many seat available, dia boleh pi check in dok tengah2?! Warghhkh! Adoi. TBC

Quickie!

Ok, what you fear most?(besides death)
1) Run out of money
2) Fall from Tower of Terror
3) or Trapped in a bathroom in a house that you rent ALONE??!

Crazy meh! Where smart phone is NA, half naked and it's all because of your own fault!
Lucky enough, I survived..ha, go and tell the landlord lah you wanna change that freaking door.

Fasting is ok-ok (4th day)..only look forward to be in Miri. And I also decided not to run during Ramadhan. Too hot! And I have to prepare my Iftar.

Manisnya Kurma, Indahnya Ramadhan

Alhamdulillah bertemu semula dengan Ramadhan al-Mubarak. Bulan yang tenang dan masa yang sesuai untuk kita muhasabah diri. Sasaran umum sudah tentu nak perbaiki diri. Harap-harap tak lupa bersyukur dengan segala limpahan rahmatNya.

Insyaallah niat yang baik, hasilnya pun baik. Amin... :)

July Round UP

July has been kind to me I must admit. FOUR times went to KL to start with! FGR, family event & the other two were official trip. Getting tired is part of the game. That explains why I only managed to run LESS than 20km! Tapi kalau dah Qadha' dengan menebas & mencangkul di hujung minggu, dimaafkanlah kan?! I can see future of me doing gardening already. Fun!

Other than that, summer movies galore! Transformers 3, Harry Potter 7.2 & X-men First Class not disappointed (Kungfu Panda as well). The winner to me was Super 8. When you watch a movie with zero knowledge (tak baca review) and that movie did well, you gotta give credit. After all it was Steven Spielberg thingy (lupalah director betul!). Ah, not to forget.. KL Gangster. RM11million+ is really something. TETAPI kalau harga tiket wayang dah RM14/person..hmm you do the math la kids. Macam manapun movie tu bagus & berani.

That's all for July.

To Honor the Harry Potter Saga

This is the least you can do if you haven't read the books and yet wanna catch the Final movie.

When it's Not About Winning

10 days after FGR and I only managed to run twice..sigh. Average only 2.5pm per session. But heck! I wasn't that lazy..my schedule doesn't fit the plan. So I'M OK with that lah :) the best advice I had in running

"Always listen to your body"

and I did!

I'm gonna slow down a bit. Yeah with Ramadhan is coming #stillPlantoRun! Instead of pace now it's time to focus on durability. Ok let future Zukry to decide on this :P

Remember

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop" - Confucius

Another great advice huh?

ntv7 Feel Good Run 2011

A truly well organized event

Hey, just went back from ntv7 FGR and I successfully finished the race. Non-stop running. The most important part, i enjoyed my running! Summary of the event:

• Wake-up early in the morning. Get ready. My stomach didn't help much, went few times to the toilet.
• Around 6.15am together with wife, heading to Sri Pentas via DUKE highway. To find car park, she just dropped me in front of Sri Pentas. Totally stranger to the place I just follow those wearing white shirt
• Thanks to portable toilet, I'm all up for the run by 7.20am :)
• About 5,500 runners particapated. Most of them Chinese. Glad that I'm not intimidated by looking at the runners, just keep my cool and calm (event though i don't strech up properly; too many people no space!)

See how ramai it is

• 7km runners was released at 7.30am and i think i started well. Then start to follow others pace (which is WRONG!)..Halfway of the race at water station they gave Gatorade (mesti la nak try!). I know contestant in the Biggest Loser Asia forced to drink it but again it was WRONG to drink this water while running (to me at least) . With only 2km to finish I feel like gastric attacks me! Luckily I managed to finish the run ahead of planning time :)

The route. Super satisfied with the running time!

• It was totally new route to me, just keep running. I don't listen to iPod this time. What I thought during the run??

1. Early in the run at the housing area: the dogs keep barking *if someone intentionally lets the dog out and chasing us* kan best? hehe..
2. Steady, steady...find your inner peace a la Po the Kungfu Panda
3. Don't be so fast la.. you are not going for the world record
4. Oit don't ever think to walk!
5. It is not that far anymore.. Common make your foot massage worth the pay!

AND finally...

Proud finisher with the medal! Wohooo

#Rain did the trick plus everyone busy queueing for the freebies

• It was raining, so we can't really check out the carnival after that. Heard was awesome too. Went straight to home and had a nice nasi lemak for breakfast
• It was a good day indeed. Thai food for lunch.
