SC KL Marathon 2011


So the Day finally came….  The Day that we all had been waiting for with full of excitement.

I registered for the run back in Mar/Apr, if I can still remember.  So the excitement went back as far as 3 months ago.   I have never gone beyond 7km, so when the registration site was up, I registered mine and Nik’s for 5km and 10km respectively.  So every week, running for 5-6 km diligently was all I did.. until 2 days before the event.. 

Jeli texted me.  Oh…. btw Jeli is our neighbor & our cycling buddy.

Jeli : Ada sapa2 nak bib 10km Men?

Me : So far I lari 6-7km je, takut lari 7km,  lagi 3km jalan :D

Jeli : Let go ur bib to beginner, lari with us.  Ada berani?

Me : Kalau tak ada takers, I amik.  IC lain takpe ke?

Jeli : Kalau u naik podium, maybe akan jadi issue… hahahha

Me : Hahaha itu confirm tak akan terjadi… naik ambulans maybe :D

So there we were on Sunday – Me, Nik, Sha, Ajees and Jeli, already at Padang Merbok as early as 4.30am, with me wearing a 10km Men bib…. (and running my first 10km run – without practice!)  - we had to be there early to secure parking spots before the road closed at 5am... pfffttt!!

Such a big crowd along Jalan Parlimen, even at 4am 

Fortunately, I survived!  I clocked 1.33 hrs right at the 10km mark and 1.41 hrs at the 11.2 km mark, i.e. the finishing line.  

The route was interesting & challenging, and but when it went uphill at the Bukit Aman stretch, I walked because my problematic right foot was giving me problems.  I was scared that I couldn't finish the run but I was determined to complete it no matter what.  Once the road flattened again at Jalan Parlimen, I started running till the finishing line in Dataran Merdeka (with Three Doors Down & Christina Perri were singing my fav songs so loud and they made me feel like I was running so fast like like Forrest Gump... hehhehe).

Sempat lagi stopped and snapped!  hehehh

Yes, I didn’t record an impressive time but darn, I was happy to finish the run…

Next event will be the Adidas – King of the Road and Penang Bridge International Run…. 

Just can’t wait!  :D  Heal fast right foot!


 Me & Sha

 Me & Nik

  After the run... Nik finished way too early before me

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). ...
