She once said, "It's too soon" and I can't agree more. With preparation and determination i just finish the race. Not an easy one I must say but it is doable. This gave me another prove that impossible is nothing. Even if you have to do it in a hard way.
From now on its about getting PB (no, no. Not Premium Beautiful). Personal best. It's been a week without running. Boo! Too much PS3 I must admit.
Quote of the Day:
It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t lose heart.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011: Half Marathon
Too tired to write up. Probably I will NOT do it again next year :) ok not now to decide. Let's London next! Meanwhile, summary as below:
Preparation: Tak pernah rasa seatlit sebegini
Up early in the morning, tak (boleh) tidur langsung beb!
Full marathon: The Kenyans. You can tell how laju they are
Starting Point Half Marathon: Easily beat Bersih gathering, at 3 o'clock kau mampu??
Running (yeah, somehow loss concentration at 13km+)
Where mental strength extremely required
Ok, most of runner already walk, knowing they can achieve below 3.5 hours.
Woohooo!!! Once again, a proud finisher :)

A Day Before PBIM
Today, I told almost everyone I met that I'm going to run in Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011. Some of the response: What? Crazy! Seriously? and just Oh.. (haha, peduli apa kan). All the hard work (literally) will be scrutinized. Worry not, my objective is simple; to finish that freaking half marathon (my first ever) within the time frame.
And yes the run starts at 3am. Talking about breaking dawn too much?? This is the real deal! :)
Done talking & typing...Bring it ON! Wish me LUCK!

Weekly Thought (While Flying)
Stuff I like being a Malaysian is that we complaint 24/7 and I'm also part of it. It just another indication to acknowledge our country is developing and the people really know what they want. Impact of knowledge and technology huh?
For point of discussion, these three stooges did caught my attention; OWC, Seksualiti Merdeka and PPSMI.
The first two, sorry gang, badly timing or maybe you can give another try next time? On OWC, proper tag line I supposed? (wait a minute; the book distribution is only for members ok) Selamatkan Mat Rempit, Selamatkan Pulau Pinang is a NO NO. Haha. Funny indeed. Seksualiti Merdeka is beyond our norm I would say. On PPSMI, please don't screw our education system. I know it's a tough call. Be firmed.
Whatever it is, I'm here not to judge. To answer all that, it depends on how you view it. If you proud to be Malaysian, let's work together and contribute something to the nation.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha.

October Round Up
It will be overrated statement to say I'm up and ready for the PBIM. Anyway once I finished the 10km I think I have general idea lah what awaits me on 20th Nov.
*dahaga tak ingat, lutut sakit, tapak kaki cam terbakar etc*
From now on whenever there is opportunity, I will run 5km #SelfPledge. Ok AidilAdha is fast approaching. A good break indeed (can see the running kit!). That left just one week before the event.
Argh! This is exactly why I cannot have tv/astro at home. Tulis tahape-hape je. Oh, that will be another news! I'll be living somewhere else (yeah, still in Labuan) until year end to give an opportunity to a friend to bring his newly expanded family. Don't have to make a fuss about it because l just understand living separately from your other half.
Anyway, there is bigger plan than that :P woot...WOOT! Maybe later.
Oit, let's concentrate on PBIM first!

1-6 And How You Take It
It is a hard time being a MUFC fan right now. Extremely rare the team got beaten 1-6 by the noisy neighbors at OLD TRAFFORD! Let's see what went wrong:
• Line up: Even before he ended the game with red card, you always worry on his ability. The only logic I can find; SAF try to put locality sense in the derby (with Welbeck partnering Rooney). Valencia can play RB, so Rio-Smalling will be fine. Or Jones. No Vidic at all is a surprise.
• The game: the team never recover especially after Evans sent off. Pure disappointment. Potong gaji and community service will justify just that. Kau main at OLD TRAFFORD with 18 MONTHS unbeaten record kot!
• Opposition: Their game plan works well.
• Man of the Match: David Silva. Enough said. Balotelli, yes you are just fire starter.
#SIXintheCity
#TheyMustbeSIXtoday
#DontHaveEnoughOnSIXES
All the bashing is fun indeed. I can't recognize any of them as MCFC hard core except MUFC haters. Just enjoy the moment. Rare. So rare...
My opinion, accept the defeat and move on. We are not Liverpool to linger on history and chasing our own shadow.
Personally I want to see Berbatov back to team & what else can Cleverly offers.
LOVE FOOTBALL

When OK is Not Good Enough
Oh yes, I did another charity run last Sunday. Organized by Curtin University students, they called it e-Fact Run (fair enough I get a T-shirt). The fact that I'm not really prepared for the run does not lessen my disappointment. Yeah, I finished the run without stopping, after all it just a 3km+ route.
1) Pancit, siapa suruh kau lari 5min/km awal2
2) Attitude during the run cam asshole. Banyak songeh nak jalan! 7km steady jek! Huh.
3) Running time 00:21:34 for 3.29km. OK la tuh!
That's that. Ok is not good enough kan?! As a result I ended up today with 4.01km [pengajaran peribadi]
Hard work begins now! Petikan di bawah untuk renungan bersama:
Tu dia aih!

But a half marathon could be done basically every weekend. In fact, many runners cover the distance every weekend in their long runs.
Tu dia aih!

Little Update
What a day! Was away from office. Getting to know Steve Jobs was dead is rather shocking. I wish I can thank him personally on what he did to the world. A legend.
Apart from that, I tried heart rate monitor (HRM) while running today. And it works. Next to learn how to benefit from it lah.
Also will take part on another charity run this Sunday!

Off to a Flying Start. NOT
Everything went well until I reached that gym. Ok, long story cut short the gym was not well maintained. I'm not a gym-guy but then bagus bilik tu buat bilik rehat staff je kalau wujud sekadar hidup segan mati tak mahu.
So I decided to run outside and the result was not that bad. Actually I want to monitor my endurance and breathing first before taking big step.
Let's see what will tomorrow bring us.

Post-Ramadhan Reflection
A week away from office couldn't be better than this (well except you go to Europe; where A/L is applied). Apart everything is taking care by the company, you still have to pack by yourself. Wonder how those nomad people doing it or maybe I can already categorized myself into that group.
Wait, spies do it on hard way! Went to unknown area with a lot of risk (life at stake!). Then to adapt environment almost immediately. Nak-nak encounter dengan alien pulak! #pengaruhmediamassa
The point is, we should be grateful. Life can't be like you want all the time. IF you owned stuff or have been to places advertised on TV, magazines etc YES you certainly have to BERSYUKUR. Hopefully I am.
