McDonald Olympic Day Run


2010
09.28

Participated in the McDonald Olympic Day Run last Sunday (26th September 2010) and got myself 45th place.. happy happy..

Tan fetched me at my house around 5:15 am in the morning.. and together with my boss and Miko, we headed to Dataran Merdeka, where the run took place. And, as usual.. I had my energy bar before the run.

I don’t really know how much the energy bar helped me.. but, it s a must for me before every run.. =_________=” (that s the power of advertising)

(Was wondering why I sound so serious in my write out this time… =___=”)

I think I am addict to running now and even thinking of going for the Penang Bridge Run next month.. seimou..

I guess the reason why I enjoy running is because of the non -guilt food I eat after the run.. eat mee? So what? I ran 7 km dy mar?!! Eat KFC?!! So what? I ran 7km dy mar..!! Eat hotdog? So what? I ran 7 km dy mar…? Eat Ice Cream??!! So what.. I ran 7 km dy mar..!!.. So, you get what I mean..?

that’s why ever since after the Sunday run, I can’t stop eating.. haiz.. i think input more than output liao..

OK.. back to the run..

the beauty of Dataran Merdeka early in the morning.. (Red Colour)

The run started zhun zhun 7:30 am based on the clock tower.. And, I was running all alone by myself throughout the run.. and, I guess this is the thoughest run I ever had.. I was dehydrated!! And, it was super hot.. And, I got HEADACHE!!!! kns..

And, due to this.. I almost gave up merely 200m before the finishing line.. as I was vomiting and in fainting mode liao (I scared I might fainted during that time)…. But, I chose not to give up. Hey..!! I had been running 6.8 KM and it was really a joke if I really give up. So, after gained back my composure, I decided to continue, slowly, ran to the finishing point.. And, was handed a paper with number 45 on it. But, I regreted not looking at the time I completed the run.. Haiz..

And, after passing through the finishing point, I started to search for water dy. Well, I had myself 4 cup of mineral water.. U see.. I was dehydrated!! Guess McDonald should provide more drink stop..

Anyway, I really enjoyed the run.

32 DAYS AND STILL COUNTING…


2010
09.21

8 days out of the city is what I need..

another 32 days to go.. and still counting down. But, the problem is I still do not know where shall I go. Yeah.. you are right. I had my air ticket booked 11 months ago to Cambodia. So what? I don’t want to go cannot meh? xiao.. With only one month to go, I should be excitedly counting down and thinking what clothes should I wear in cambodia… but, sad to say, I really can’t bring myself to think of it now.. Here I am, thinking where shall I go elsewhere in this 8 days. sei mou!! But, I am looking forward for it..

and, kns.. it will be my 2nd time doing charity to air asia. (The 1st time was one year ago where I was supposed to go Hong Kong but, I didnt go) you say kns or not..

anyway, i had no regret.. Infact, I was happy that I made the right decision not going to HK.. (Furthermore, I went before 5 years ago and was looking forward for my trip there again with my beloved..)

Anyway, nothing actually happened. It just happened that one of my friend cannot make it to Cambodia.. and I just follow his decision. Furthermore, he is supposed to be my travel partner.  :(   (Ok.. forget about it.. I don’t blame him afterall… just like I don’t blame myself for not going to HK.. lolz..)

And..nvr mind.. life is always fun as there s always ALTERNATIVE..

was talking to 2 of my colleagues from different branch today…and when they knew that I had 8 days on “unplanned” holiday.. one was saying.. “allocate 3 days here lar”… (soli eh.. due to privacy.. cannot disclosed “here” is where..) and, another colleague said the same thing to me “come 3 days here lar)… =__________=”  fuyoh…. thank you very much.. I just <3 my colleagues so much..

And after much thought… the plan is about to be finalised. About 60/40 dy.. geez.. 40 % i may still pack my bag and go to Cambodia.. =____=”

Tadah..after so many years.. I am back to myself.. challenging myself to travel alone again.. And, infact, i am excited plus a little nervous.

and, below are what I wanna do during my trip:-

1) Wake up to the seaview, sleep to the seaview

2) read .. read.. read..

3) have a quiet time with God

4) relax.. forget about work .. (eh. I should move this to #1 priority)

5) Berilham.. (who knows coconut will drop on my head and I get some ideas to earn $$)

6) .. to be decided when I am there..

ok lar.. wanna sleep dy..

let me dream of this beach..

“I want to go Penang” – I blurted out upon reaching office one day.

And, within 3 days, I had the confirmation of attendees, booked the accommodation and arranged the transportation and waited excitedly for the days to arrive And, the trip was now over which left us with the greatest memories.

We went by train and booked ourselves a Business Class Night Coach, which we were so “sua gu” enough that upon boarding, we checked and explored all the things inside the train.

Tan exploring the basin in the room

It was a good experience to travel by train and we promised ourselves not to go Penang by train anymore. lolz. As it took too long hours to reach.

We reached Butterworth around 5 30 in the morning and then, took ferry to cross over Penang Island. The rest of the trip was wonderful enough that I totally forgotten about my WORK!! Yes.. that’s what I was looking for.

Thanks to Eddie and Ee Loon (my nice colleague cum friend), they became a wonderful tour guide throughout the journey.

Our first destination.. BaliHai at Gurney Drive..

DimSum breakfast

And, had a nice seaview before heading to our next stop-Toh Soon Cafe to fulfill our craving of early morning coffee.

And, being in Penang, we don’t care about diet. Full stomach, yet we still ordered their famous bread.

We visited few historical site, including Khoo Kongsi (the rest I forgotten the name liao)

Miko fetching me eventhough she didnt know how to ride basikal..lolz..

and, got frightened with the “family” who were having “meals” at the kitchen area.. terkeluar jantung i..

they looked so real =_______=”

next.. we headed to Fort Cornwallis

and, when we said we come for food, we really came for FOOD. After we checked in to the Krystal Suite, we quickly transformed ourselves and

headed out for more food again.

Asam Laksa and Cendol at Penang Road
