This evening went trekking in Bukit Kiara. Another good workout. Sweat alot. Legs feel better now, but going uphill very slow and tired. Need more rest. Trek from 6pm to 8pm.. today only 4 people. As usual, trek until dark, have to use head lamp…… I wore my ‘Power’ shoes, the same shoes I used for running, not much grip, so going downhill, fell on my bum once, and nearly tripped on some roots……. my Timberland shoes let it rest for awhile, need to send to cobbler to glue abit…
These few days eating alot. I think already put on some weight. This afternoon lunch, one plate of rice not enough… have to add some more rice… yesterday afternoon had lunch in IKEA… they have a new dish, salmon with herbs, very nice… but still hungry….. so bought some ice cream from NZ Natural… that day got 30% discount if you buy the tub…. try the strawberry and honey flavor…..
Its already 1 July, half year gone….. looking forward to the Setiawan trip this weekend.
Blog still having some problems…. stressed up just trying to fix it…wasting alot of time … I’ll just leave it they way it is now, this database is hosted on the 1.com.my server…..
Su Ping just came back from Sabah… she went to Kudat (Tip of Borneo)… very nice… and also visited the villages (got Astro)… the villagers staying near the mangrove……. she bought some 3 packs of ladies fingers for RM1 and some red kacang……
*sigh* .. boring boring boring……I think I’m having post marathon depression

Legs feeling better now, still feels funny when walking down steps…I’d better start doing some work. Haven’t done much for the past, 2 weeks, like on a long holiday at home sleeping…. Now what…… need to set new goals…. I wonder if I can finish this Ping Lian video in 2 and half hours…… been working on it for more than 3 weeks and still only done less than 1 min 30 seconds of video………….
Yay, another jamiesoon record…. 21km completed in about 2 hours 34 mins …feels great but now I’m walking like I just came down from Mt Kinabalu… took a nap and going for somebody’s wedding dinner later tonight in Jaya 33.
Got on the 5.45am bus at 1 Utama and arrived there at about 6.10am. They dropped us in front of the Lake Gardens/Padang merbuk… which was about 200 meters away from Dataran Merdeka… and the half marathon gonna start at 6.15am… so, even before it start I already have to start running to dataran merdeka because going to be late….. but just in time to hear the gun getting fired….. alot of people, so at first quite crowded so can’t run fast yet… forgot to warm up….. did some quick stretching exercise and continued to follow the crowd……….
Good weather and fresh air, because it rained early in the morning, got some puddles of water…. anyway, run run run towards Jalan Loke Yew….. legs feel tight so stopped a few seconds to stretch again….. So alot of people, from all walks of life…. even got a mat salleh with a prosthetic leg running in front of me….
So, run run run… try to overtake some people… run run…. water stop, drank 2 small cups of yellow 100 plus… nearly felt like vomiting… when reach water stop I will walk lah…… its a strange feeling, after running long time, then suddenly stop, at first feel dizzy, then a feeling of something got released in my blood, like just got injected with drugs or something…… must be the adrenaline……….
Try keep on running, in my head just keep saying “Marathon pace honey, marathon pace, you’re doing great, keep goin, marathon pace honey…..”
So run pass Berjaya Times Square, Pudu Jail, etc etc…. join back the same trail as the Full Marathon runners, so can see them run, their body really look different …. marathon body…. got some 10km runners also following the same trail lah…….. towards the end stop to walk more, and again, get the strange rush of adrenaline feeling… actually its more difficult to walk…body already in running mode, so if start walking feels funny…….
Ok, so going to finish, can already see Dataran Merdeka, but then they divert, still have to run some more towards Sogo, then make U-turn back to Dataran Merdeka….. ok finish……… alot of people lah……..so just go back to the padang to collect the finisher medal and collect my bag…. quite long queue…. heard one fella say, the running not hard, this queing up is harder…. did some stretching to relax muscle….. terrible… my armpit also can get cramp…………
Saw abit of the prize giving ceremony… Rosmah Mansor (Najib’s wife) was there, got some other VIPs like Shabbery Chik…… the VIPs have a special tent for VIP food…… no food at all for people like me… too big crowd… they already sapu all the bananas….. still got free 100 plus… but I miss the free milo………
Ok, so prize giving …… so the top 3 for the Full Marathon are all runners from Kenya…. wow.. first prize RM70,000. I saw one young boy look in astonishment… wowww….. better than designing websites…heheheheh….
Went back to wait for the bus near lake gardens, started getting hungry, ate some dates and green peas. Don’t know if the bus will come… nobody waiting there at the bus stop, except a few leng luis waiting for their boyfriends to come and pick them up……. I stopped a Rapid KL bus, but they said they don’t go 1 Utama…. have to walk further up….. so tired.. have to walk some more… donno walk where ? I didn’t have my handphone with me, and only RM11 cash… walk pass the lake gardens, towards Jalan Duta…. hope I don’t get knocked down by a car…… then lucky thing one taxi driver stopped to pick me up…..
So told him I only had RM10, he said ok…. then as soon as I got in he asked me not to lean back and sit on some newspapers… don’t want to dirty his car… no problem… quite nice guy, so I’m chatting with him, he said he join marathon before etc etc….. ask me about the race whether I finish or not… he only saw me alone walking by the roadside, maybe he thought I still haven’t completed and still running… but I told him I finish already lah…… ok so, he just drop me at 1 Utama, gave him a small packet of green peas for him to try……
Drove back home, so hungry, had early lunch…. mum and the maid heat up leftover food from last night….. eat eat eat, bath then went to sleep……..then wedding dinner eat some more…… yummy food at the chinese restaurant at Jaya 33…..
This morning woke up, body aching all over…..drink more water should be ok………
Had early dinner, went out to eat pasta… carbonara… with very sweet pineapple juice, hope its enough for 20km…. some bananas magically appeared downstairs, mum starting to read my blog …… she says I shouldn’t write so much personal stuff…….. ok maybe I’ll cut down on describing my bodily functions in detail…………..
Very full now, do what……. lots of work not done …. die die die…….
Tomorrow will wake up at 4am to catch the bus…… donno how to mentally prepare myself for this, I don’t feel good at the moment, its different from the KL tower run… that time I had the confidence I can do well, but that one was just running 30mins……..Hope during the race, the kiasu attitude will push me to keep running…… but when you are running so long distance, the people can be spread out quite far apart, like a guy could be 200m in front, or 100m behind… or halfway you are running on one side of the road, then you see the elite runners already going in the opposite direction……. so you’re not competing with anybody but yourself….. hmmmm… try target finish within 2 and half hours I will be happy…..
I still got Shoo Chan’s green peas… will bring that along… and there’s some Saudi dried dates from last year in the fridge… will check if its still edible…

Yesterday early morning, fetch dad to kl sentral, then came back, had chee cheong fun breakfast in Taman Tun. Had a bit of cough, because while watching Transformers, I sat next to a young guy who was coughing… hope its not the H1N1, but I’m ok now, after eating Strepsils. Now, if I get any sore throat I will quickly eat a few Strepsils continuously, kill of the bacteria fast before it multiplies. Ok, so anyway, after breakfast, I started coughing, quite violently, I think my saliva went into my breathing track…….. then couldn’t control my bladder……. ohhh……. the force too strong….. anyway, nobody notice, still early morning, quickly drove back home…….. then saw MJ news on CNN…. poor bugger…………..
So, today, this morning went trekking with Kelly. Long time didn’t go gasing. Kelly got lots of stories to tell while we are in the car. Met up with Jessie in gasing, also bumped into Sau Kuen. Just did one round in gasing. Already feels good, this hill really makes you sweat alot. Also got some dogs there…….. Breakfast, we went to eat ‘Kai See Hor Fun’… in Section 17, there is shop in the low cost flats, opposite Jaya One. Looks quite popular, alot of people go there, some people have to wait long time to eat this ‘Kai See Hor Fun’……anyway, just chat chat chat with Kelly and Jessie lah………..
Later, went to collect the Standard Charted Marathon t-shirt, bag and ‘number’…. not that many people today, I parked at the Dataran Merdeka carpark underground, RM5 per entry….. got other things there also, like Reebok selling shirts / shoes, Powerbar…..etc…….also bought the bus ticket, there will be a bus from One Utama, drop us at Padang Merbuk, near the Lake gardens… RM7 for whole day….. its under Rapid KL, so they said can also take the Rapid KL train to KLCC etc….. nevermind, just buy ticket because sure difficult to find parking tomorrow……..
I forgot to buy bananas for tomorrow’s breakfast…. today have to drink more water….. bought new shorts just for this event, black colour…. Last time for the Mizuno marathon I wore my usual grey shorts that I bought long time ago from Factory outlet, its comfortable, but because its grey colour, can see the sweat marks, … and after a really long run, really sweat ….. and don’t look too cool if I looked like I urinated in my pants……….
Just saw some mites again walking around on my computer desk, have to call the bug exterminator again soon to kill them off….. wait till dad comes back……. these bugs are relentless…. cannot die one………..
Next Thursday Kelly wants to take me to Tropicana, there’s a Disco there….. long time didn’t go disco…. she said this one got alot of aunty there, not so many youngsters…. and they play nicer songs like from the 80’s and 90’s …. she also saw one very handsome and hunky doctor…. maybe we will be able to see him there again on Thursday……….
Rest in peace Michael Jackson…..
I went to his concert when he came to Malaysia. My first concert. He also went to 1 Utama……. I was standing in the crowd and when he walked pass my hand was like, 2 feet away from his shoulders……….after that I remember he went to toys r us to buy some toys……
Watched Transformers this afternoon……quite long movie…2 hours ++ Alot of action, combination of Indiana Jones, Terminator 3, Star Wars, got some new type of robots lah you can go and see…
Its 5am now… actually I woke up at about 3.30am… slept early… went to hide in my room after mom started screaming that me and the maid lost one of her record books…..
Anyway, feel very hungry now, getting thinner, but I have to start fattening up for the marathon this sunday…. need to store enough energy in my body otherwise run out of petrol….
Last sunday, went trekking in FRIM, with chia and shoo chan etc… then rest in Shoo Chan house, I didn’t bring any change of clothes, so Shoo Chan ‘rent’ me her maliau basin t-shirt…. after that we went to visit Colmar village in Bukit Tinggi… its the Berjaya french village thing, when Chia ask me to go I thought it was some kind of malay Kampung village……. there’s a japanese garden there also………
Oh, finally got the refill for the fax machine, dad bought it at a panasonic shop in Cineleisure, this time only took me less than one minute to install it… Dad is going to Melbourne for a few weeks……
For those who will be travelling soon, here’s a tip, if you want more space in the plane for yourself…..wear a face mask, the white colour one with the shape of Homer Simpson mouth… mom told me that one guy wore it on the plane, actually he doesn’t have any flu, just to protect himself… then the other passenges started requesting the flight attendants to change seats, so that don’t want to sit near him… so in the end nobody want to sit next to him so more space…………
ha………ok I think I’ll eat maggie mee now……
