Salam and Morning to all my blog readers. Hope you are doing well wherever you are. I know it has been quite a while since the last post in my blog. Well, I was transferred to another department in my company sometime back in 2013 whereby my job is on an assignment basis with tight datelines and requires me to travel on business trip frequently. However, starting 2017, I moved to another department which is office base in KL. It takes me one year to settle down in the new department and now I am back for more updates and posts to my blog.  Last Saturday, 11 Feb 2018, I joined KL World Urban Run flag off from Dataran Merdeka. Since this is my first run in 2018, hence I decided to register for 5km fun run only. My aim for this run was only to complete the run without any injuries instead of being too ambitious on the distance and time. Alhamdulillah I managed to complete the run within 35 minutes (7.30am-8.05am). I am so proud of myself for this achievement given that I ...

Alhamdulillah syukur :) I managed to complete Brooks 10km Run  which was held on 3 March 2013 @ National Stadium Bukit Jalil within 1 hour and 30 minutes . I'm  satisfied with my own achievement given that i hardly go for training before the marathon day. But of course, i did control my diet and sleeping pattern/hours. I envy those frequent runners who finished the run within 1 hour. I wish i can be like them but i've tried my best on that day :)

Alhamdulillah syukur :) I managed to complete Be The Movement 2012 Charity Walk in support of WORLD OF HUNGER RELIEF 2012  which was held today, 6 Oct 2012 @ Istana Kehakiman, Presint 3, Putrajaya less than one hour . I'm so glad to be one of the 12,000 participants who joined the walk this year (8,000 participants joined in FY2011) .  Thanks to my office-mate, Siti for informing me about this charity walk and for assisting me in registering my name for the walk.  I reached Putrajaya around 4.30 pm ++ with Aidil. We straight away went to the T-Shirt collections booth once we parked the car. We were quite disappointed because when we reached at the booth, the PIC told us that not many sizes left, only the double sizes and the kids sizes. We ended up wearing kids XL size (the biggest size for kids) during the walk. We have no other choice :( Sedih sangat2...dah mcm baby-tee plak..haish..macam mana benda macam ni boleh berlaku..padahal semua po...

More "Kodak" moments

Alhamdulillah, one of my new year's resolutions which is to complete THREE marathons this year  has been fulfilled. I am so happy and proud to have completed these three running events. I have proved to myself, my family and friends that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE -  because i'm possible :) My first and second running events was 10km Brooks Marathon and 7km TM Fan Run respectively. My THIRD m was on 24th June 2012, 10km run Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2012.    It was a very pleasant run for me and i did enjoy myself.  In the beginning, i doubt that i will be able to complete this SCKL 10km run. WHY?? Because  I haven't done any preparation for it. Luckily I ran for 7km TM Fan Run just a week before the SCKLM i.e. on Sunday, 17 June 2012. So that's the only "preparation" that i did before the SCKL marathon. Of course i did ensure i take a balance diet a week before the run. I was supposed to rest and eat and rest more the day before...

I bought myself a new sport shoes last Monday @ The Gardens for my next running event; SCKL2012 which will be held this coming Sunday, 24 June. It's not a norm for me to buy new shoes for every running event but this time i have to because my existing shoes was quite old and no longer can be used (tapak dah haus dan tertanggal). Plus i got RM120 Brooks voucher during my participation in TM Fan Run 2012. Rugi kalau i x guna voucher tu kan.  Presenting my new sport shoes: PureCodence by Brooks. Very comfortable and very light. Suitable for running :) I LOIKKEE IT SO MUCH..yeay!! Let's RUN HAPPILY :)

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 the 10,000 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 inclu...

  Approximately 6800 runners registered this year (and i was one them) as compared to last year with 5000 participants. But higher number of participants have caused congestion since there was only one small lane to enter the Stadium for the flag-off and people were climbing up the gates when the queue was terribly bad. Resulted that many runners especially 10km runners were very late when crossing the starting line. More entrances should be open for runners to enter to the stadium to avoid congestion in the future.   Nevertheless, it was a well organized event; the flag-off and finish line was inside the stadium, as it was brighter and more spacious. On top of that, the food e.g. kaya bun, tau fu fa, red bean, water melon, milo etc were ready for runners, supporter and family members without having to show any coupon. Thanks to the generosity of the organizer.  This Brooks marathon is my third run after Terry Fox 2010 and SCKL 2011. In additi...
