MEX & Mr T


It was a Tribute Ride to PK Yeoh


Well, when they announced about the ride some weeks ago... I was among the early birds who registered. The notice said the ride is about 33km..... Me and Sha went, "oh! that was easy peasy, 33km only. We did more than that every week....." Whoaaaa..... talked BIG laaa....


Nik, me and Ajees


As we have been plying the GCE almost every week , and I thought... MEX is just another highway. And little did I know that MEX has multiple hills... seriously, where's the flat road again?? Almost nadda.... ok!



When we drove to Sri Kembangan R&R on MEX, my jaw dropped! I said to myself.... whoaa!!! This is serious business man! Ups and downs everywhere..... They gotta be kidding me! Upon reaching the destination, there were about 100++ 'SERIOUS' cyclists, ready to conquer the road (made me shiver all over), escort cars were ready to escort the troop, some familiar faces and of course.. loads of high end & expensive bikes to envy... (red Bianchi Sha..... red Bianchi!) And I knew Nik couldn't take his eyes off that Pinarello! hehhehe.... drool je la ye....




Allez, Tarmac & Allez

But thanks to me for being ignorant, I conquered MEX.... yes, with much difficulties. At one point, I almost gave up. All I saw were hills and hills..... then seeing another than 'twin hills' in front of me, I was pretty sure I was not able to make it. Going at 14km/h, I pushed hard to make it to the top of the road, with almost '0' energy in me (I thought I gobbled up the whole of PowerBar this morning??) What was I thinking??

Making a few stops along the hway, and this is where he was knocked downed

We made a few stops to make sure we gather everyone back. Right after we made a u-turn at Endah Parade, we then passed through a ramp, a very steep one inded with multiple layers...... It was a very sunny morning and the sun was shining right on top of my head.....after doing more than 20km on a hilly stretch....... dang, climbing up the ramp made both my legs so hot and burning. I didn't even try to look up and see how long the ramp was. A very scary sight to see.... I paddled and paddled and paddled.... the ramp seemed so long like there was no ending to it. Why oh why did I do this to myself......!!!

So lesson learned this week - distance will not say it all. Check the road first, ok!
Eventually I completed the whole loop and I was freakin' tired and drained after that. And I still am.... huhuhu.


Me and my toys


Oh! By the way, that's me with mr T and mr Ali.... I managed to convince Nik to change my b'day present from this...


to this... hehehheh

TQ! TQ! TQ! u complete me..... hee hee hee... i mean, u almost complete my ride collection.... so next is Ducati Monster.... ehh... betul ke??? silap pulak....hehehehe

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
