OLYMPIC SUPPORT FOR TEAM MALAYSIA :)

-
Waking up as early as 5.45am this morning to get ready for Team Malaysia Fan Run 2012 is not something that i would normally do on a Sunday morning. Normally i will wake up for my Subuh prayers and then continue my sleep. But today, it is an exceptional for me. I believe that today's run is something special that makes it worthwhile to sacrifice my Sunday morning beauty sleep. 

In support of the Malaysian Contingent which consist of 28 athletes who will be competing in the London Olympics next month, I decided to be part of the10,000 runners participating in the half-day event. The beauty of this event is that it only have two categories; 7km and 3 km run which makes it perfect for everyone in Malaysia to participate despite gender, age and fitness level. As for myself, i have chosen to participate in 7km run category :) 

RM40 that includes a participation fee and the nice Team Malaysia Panthera jersey! Now I have my first jersey to wear to stadium for future Harimau Malaya games.

The Fierce Spirit of the MALAYAN TIGER..AUMMMMM :)
We've been informed that we have to be at Dataran Merdeka by 7am. My brother, Feroz and I however arrived around 7.30am together with the rest of his friends and his pregnant wife,Ned. Of course, Ned is not running with us but a credit should be given to her for her spirit to come and support us early in the morning :) 


There was a warming up session conducted by the organizer for all participants. But the session already started when we arrived hence we instead had a quick warming up session lead by my brother. Then at 7.45am, the emcees and the organizers were busy gathering the runners to the starting line.

The run which started at Merdeka Square was flagged off by Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Razali Ibrahim. At 8am, participants for the 7km category were flagged off. Whereas participants for the 3km category were only flagged off at 8.15am. There were wave of "tigers" across the stretch of 7km from Dataran Merdeka, old and young, family and friends. 

As we were enjoying the run, out of nowhere dark clouds started to cover KL's skies bringing a good 30 minutes downpour. Not good for the race (slippery road, eyesight problem, drenched clothes) BUT good for the haze.The morning rain however does not damper my spirits to keep on running to the finishing line. 

 Alhamdulillah I finally completed my 7km run within 1 hour and 5 minutes while it was still raining cats and dogs. Running in the rain is unforgettable. The feeling was uplifting despite of being drenched in the rain.


My ultimate satisfaction is of course, the MEDAL =)

GO MALAYSIA!!!
MALAYSIA BOLEH

TEATER BADAI SEMALAM, 20 NOV 2011 3PM

Badai semalam ialah teater muzikal yang diadaptasi dari hasil nukilan penulis tersohor, Khadijah Hashim. Dipentaskan di Panggung Sari, Istana Budaya pada 11 hingga 20 November 2011, jam 3.00 petang dan 8.30 malam dan dibarisi pelakon hebat seperti Erra Fazira, Aaron Aziz, Fizz Fairuz, Ziela Jalil dan Umie Aida. My review: Watak Mazni yang dipegang oleh Erra Fazira betul-betul sesuai dengan perwatakan Erra yang lemah lembut, tapi masih berhati cekal untuk mencapai cita-cita walaupun terdapat pelbagai halangan dan dugaan . Penghayatan Erra dalam menjiwai semangat Mazni benar-benar mengagumkan. Lakonan Erra cukup berkesan especially bile bermain dengan emosi dan juga part2 airmata.  Hats off to Erra! Umie Aida sangat cemerlang sebagai ibu Aaron. Watak tegasnya, mimik mukanya, lontaran dialognya, terbaik! Lakonan Ziela Jalil sebagai Habibah, ibu Mazni pula berjaya membuka minda bahawa anak orang gaji juga layak untuk berjaya dan mempunyai taraf yang sama seperti ...

I am pretty sure that most of us are aware about UEFA European Football Championship 2012 or commonly known as Euro 2012 which is held in this month hosted by Poland and Ukraine. There is only one more match left tomorrow morning before the final match. Of course,I will watch tomorrow's match between Germany and Italy. Who will go to final between this two??? will it be Germany since the team is very consistent throughtout the tournament? Or Will it be Italy, based on historical record whereby Germany always lost to Italy? Will see. I'm not supporting either Germany or Italy though. My favourite team is Spain!!!!!!! And yes, they are marching to the Final match. I' m so happy they did it once again. I really hope that they will win this tournament so that they will be the first team to have won 3 trophys in a row: euro2008, world cup 2010 and euro 2012. Pleaassseeeeeee :) go casillas, go torres, go alonso, go silva. So sad that David villa is not in the team due to ...
