Just a thought . . .

Well... Many times whether or not have you realised, originality seems to have been flushed down the toilet bowl. . .
.
Have been out with a friend, and realised this (not the first time, but writing it out this time ! Lolz...), he speaks in a forced accent of Malay when he is with his Malay friends; Speaks with a forced accent of Indian when speaking with an Indian friend, Chinese with chinese, and best of all, a "Perfecto" English accent "better & stronger" than the British when speaking with an Ang-mo in Angmokio !
.
Perhaps, it shall be better if one can speak originally in his or her own style as long as it is greatly hearable and understandable. I see no purpose to force out a not so comfortable speaking accent when you don't have one !
.
Be original, Be yourself ! ;p

Happy New Year !!! ;p

Happy New Year !!!

Be Considerate !!!

So... Yea... I just came back from Genting Highlands a couple of days ago... As usual, Themepark would be one of the destination... Well, i would like to bring up my rather very not pleasent experience there during my first ride...
So, after a 30minutes que... Finally managed to get on to the ride (Spinner)...(its a thing where the chair you are sitting on spins in the air in case Genting was never in your lifetime.)... There was this bunch of young fellas, in their 20's i guess, most probaly from very rural kampong or some place where education have been absent but they still can speak mandrian i assume... So, they sat in a group a couple of chairs in front of me and started to get wild... Imagine this, you are about to be on a ride with certain risk, and you still can fool around... the guy with no brains in a purple scarf clips his another no brainer in a purple sweater (purple clip purple... thats why can remember so well... Lolz... )... First warning been issued by operator. . . So he stopped, but then... After the ride have started and rised to mid-air... The action continues... Like LOTR part one cont. to Part 2... Lolz... He tries to grab his friend's chain this time... and due to that, the whole ride has been stopped !!! 30minutes que for nothing... Brainless ppl !!! They should have been banned from the themepark itself straight away !!! Come on... even a 5 year old would have been acting better !!! Be considerate for other's safety !!!
.
.
.
Another encounter was back in Sunway... Near the mamak beside Flaming Restaurant... I parked my car parallel with little space just enough for me to get out after dinner... But soon, i realised my judgement of space was too poor, i did not include the space needed caused by another bunch of inconsiderate poo. . . Those fools parked their bloody kapchai(cheapo motorcycle below 200cc), one in front of my car, one at the back of my car... Leaving me 2-3inch in front and about half a feet behind... I wonder... Are their brains situated at their bottoms ??? Rubbish ppl !!! Have to keep changing gears to rev n forward many times to get out of it without getting my newly repainted bumper scratched (why everytime i repaint, something unpleasent happens??? Lolz...) Manage to get out causing a jam behind(ppl from pyramid going out)... Hope those two motorcycles was moved by their foolish owners after hearing my revving engine due to my frustrated legs... Or else, most likely they are knocked down by another larger vehicle behind me which waited for the parking... Be considerate lar smart donkeys !!! Don't simply park your motorcycles everywhere until obstruct the movement of larger vehicles... Seriously i dunno where's your logic, but pls lar be more considerate... Take other motorcyclist as a model or idol or watever and act logically !!! Think !!!
.
.
.
Lastly, upon reading the many accident cases lately on the papers, especially the one related to the double decker luxury red colour bus which caused 10 lifes in a smash... Pls, be more considerate... so many lifes are in your hands... If you are tired, stop the vehicle, grap a cup of beverage at the rest station (perhentian), wash your face, go pee... and strech yourself... With that, i believe those 10 lifes would not be wasted... Be considerate, Think of others as well !!!
.
.
.
Well, thats all i guess... ;p

Kaboom !

Flat out. . .

Speedy change !

Secure lock !

29112009 - A Bocor-ed tyre. . .

So,

After Skytrex, we went to Restaurant Coconut Flower in Telok Gong, Klang for dinner... Ordered, Lala Meehun with premature lala's (PS: these are real clamp type Lala, not those u found on the streets in KL...), India Mee from malaysia, Udon mee not from Japan, Shiong tong Lala with sand (means fresh ??? ), Fried Sotong which kena sapu by YY, Tit Pan Taufu with taufu. All these with leftovers coz too full, costed less than RM70... Cheap rite... for 5ppl... ;p

During makan... ... ...

A Tempered glass (lucky its tempered) fridge door fell with a BANG !!! Between SH and i, a few cm... not inches to SH's bodee and a few inches from mine... Will sue restaurant if kena... But thank Buddha and our Karma, it didn't kena anyone...

Our friend, YY, kept smelling spoons and being very proud of her smelling techniques, she starts smelling everything...

Another friend, MLynn, does a manuevour to be recorded into the Watever books of records... A shared coconut (yes, we very kiamsiap wan, 5 ppl share one coconut...) She took her spoon, scooped a little coconut juice, took a slurp, suck the spoon, and with 4pair of eyes popped out and watching, the spoon goes back into the coconut for the flesh... Wow... Lolz... ;p

On the countuarary(watever the spelling is...), HT kept stopping us from taking food when it arives just to snap pictures... Lolz... ;p

Me ah ? I am good wert... No comments... ;p

The Story begins...

On the way back, our GPS is Ms.YY, we decided to skip a RM2.20 toll and use the bloody Kg.Jawa, Jln Kebun by-pass to go back...

So, thanks to MBSA where the quality of road services is so darn fantastic i will have to put not two but three thumbs out but i only have two thumbs, my car's front left tyre suffered...

The road is darn dark... Proton's lightbeam is damm "Bright", the road is so "smooth", the holes are so "not deep", and on one turning, no time to avoid it effectively, DANG !! my cars tyre bing bang through that hole... Pretty deep hole, if it was done by a motorcycle, the motorcyclist might say bye bye to his motor and hi hi to the ICU...

First sign, Allingment was gone.

Second sign, Car slunting to one side.

Third sign, Whoobbling steering.

Forth sign, You dungu enough to need a 4th sign ???

Fifth step, Enter a Gated and Guarded housing area where your friend stays and start changing tyres with the eyes of all your friends and their parents... Lolz... ;p

Luckily my spare tyre was in an okok state.

Luckily I have a hydralic jack which made an hour job a 10minutes tyre changing competition speed.

Luckily, thanks to the super tyre changing competition speed, managed to change and drive off before the super heavy downpour... Imagine if it rains... Our friend, YY would be busy enough to remove all the cars... CARS... not CAR, from her porch to allow me to change tyre... Lolz... ;p

The damage... RM300++ for the change of a new tyre(tyre's sidewall burst), alingment of four wheel and chamber adjustments for 3 wheels...

Thats all i guess, what a unlucky lucky lucky unlucky lucky day... ;p

What can i say ???

Someone's butt. . . Nice Contrast with the sky... ;p

Fuh... Damm yeng... before the adventure begins... ;p

Actual Photo... (p/s: look at the height...)

Zoomed... for your pleasure... ;p

Zoomed... ;p

Actual... Thats consider the shortest ladder... ;p

After the adventure... Hehe... ;p

29112009-Skytrex Tmn Pertanian.

Ok, cut things short...

Went Cerakah for Skytrex thingy and Jungle Trekking supposing ly, but due to time factor, we cancelled jungle trek and only went for Skytrex thanks to the maintainence of 4 season house since 15 november 2009 which have not yet re-open... Wth... -_-". . .

So, we pandai pandai go ask for the greatest challenge and here we are, ending up for the EXTREME challenge there...

Highest point from ground is 72feet... on a tree... no cement, no concrete, no metal bars, no whatsoever structure... just a platform screwed in to the tree's trunk.

Here we are ended outself on a destiny we do not know...

So, after the interesting breifng by one of the guide, Mr.Gun, we started off with a climb to the first flying fox point... Not forgetting to mention, the whole adventure is self-based, means you are given the tools, and you have to lock/unlock the pulley and carabinner yourself while some guides will watch you here and there, so, you life is depending on you and the tools they provide, even in the mid-air of 72 feet. . .

Fuh... The stairs looks easy to climb, but thats not the real story... I got real tired (can feel the strain in my forearms...) when i was like 80% of the first stairs which is not higher than 50 feet... Then, the first fly was terrifying... Imagine u sitting on the platform and sliding urself off the platform, where the point of height is 50 feet... (why did i end myself in such thing ???) Lolz... ;p

Then, another climb awaits us... to the highest point of 72feet i guess... This took me quite long... Thanks to the badminton the day before, my arms sore pretty fast... Hugging the plastic tube + metal wire built stairs was an amazing experience with HT opposite taking pictures... ;p

Ok, so we flew 5 times before coming to obstacle like monkey bars, tube balancing, rope balancing and so on, which uses UPPER BODY STRENGTH each and every obstacle... Oh, i caused a traffic jam for SH during the Tube balancing task... and slipped twice(lucky i grab the rope tight enough to balance back...)...

Standing on top of the tree with rain pouring on you was something new to me as well... Hehe... imagine that...

Each platform only allows the weight of 3 ppl... At one point of time, other participants kept flying to the platform and guides climbing up to it, resulting in a full 5-6ppl on a platform, thats scary, SH and I quickly stick ourself to the tree ... Lolz... ;p

After finish, we took the shuttle bus all the way to the bus stop to head home...

There you go... a short story made shorter... ;p

In conclusion (sounds so essay-ish...), it was a great experience although RM40 and wet and tiring body is the price to pay... Pretty syiok throughout it all ! ;p

PBIM 2009. . . Yup... Just to run in Penang... ;p

Group Pic. . .

Speech by Penang's MB

Satisfying medal. . .

Finished 21km. . . Well Done !!! ;p

Fuh... First time saw this dimsum... (inside is red bean paste). . .

Yong Tau Fu dimsum with super sauce... ;p

Look... Thats the distance we ran... times 2 ! ;p

PBIM 2009. . . The journey begins... ;p

Preparation...

So, what i did for preparation training was some sets of sit ups which fails to downtune my "united nation" and a 1.xxKM jog 3days before the run to try out my new Reebok... ;p

Seriously thats all... Coz lately kept raining and before that was busy with my finals... So, thats the training... For a bloody 21km run... I am nuts... Haha... ;p

The journey to The Land of Pinangs...

Woke up at about 6 in the morning and waited RB to pick me... then off we go, heading to the land of Pinang's with an empthy stomach ! ;p

So... The journey was quite long and refreshing as morning view and occasionally breeze is amazing !!! ;p

Reach there bout 3-4hours liddat, din use stopwatch to time our journey as apperantly, there is no need to do so... Lolz... ;p

In The Land of Pinangs. . .

Took us about 20minutes to locate Lorong selamat and took breakfast there...

Chay Kuey Tiao with XXXL Prawn, Barli bing, ABC, Luo-bak(not raddish pls...), Penang non-authentic Assam Laksa(its a healthy laksa i guess, coz its tasteless... -_-"...) Thats all. ;p

Then... a visit to the local Scout's House and Kek lok si. . . Nothing much then...

Oh... Thanks to RB's Cousin for providing accomodation and dinner for us... Very warm welcome indeed... ;p

Slept at 8.45pm to prepare physical energy before run... ;p

Oh my. . .

I dreamt... Both of us have overslept and we came to Penang for nothing... Out of a sudden...

*eyes opened*... Saw my watch... GILER !!! Its 3am aldy(overslept kao kao... The run starts at 3.30am, and registration time ends at 3.15am...The accomodation is 1km away... Do the maths urself...) ... Woke RB (still sleeping soundly...) Put on runing vest and shoes... Dashes off ! ... ... ...

Luckily when we reach (after a premature competition of 1km to beat the clock...) The organizor says no need register cause timing is by championchip... What a relieve... ;p

Going The Distance. . .

Runing 21km is not like runing the typical 3km,5km,7km,10km,11km... Where you can simply just run... Why ? Coz the distance is double and ur stamina counts !!! ;p

So... "Bang !" the gun sounds... We started from behind, and started slow jogging upon the chip timing starts...

So... 5mins after we started, we saw a group of man... standing in line against the wall of a gated & guarded housing area... Guess what they doing ??? (Shh... All in line... Pee-ing. . . -_-"... What a sight... )

Ok, forget that sight, the night view of Penang Bridge is AWESOME !!! If u like to run and never ran on Penang Bridge before... Prepare urself and sign up next year ! Once... At least once in your misarable lifetime u gotta experience this !!! If u never ran in any competition... No worries, U run 3km everyday, while i munch on my potatoe chips, guarantee u can run at the same pace as i do next PBIM... ;p

Run run run, Saw so many Scouts helping in directing and distributing not only banana's, but water and 100pluses as well... Tepuk Pengakap ! ;p

Run run run, Water station... Run run run, Sponge station... Run run run, Banana station... Run run run, Banana skin everywhere... must be careful... Runrunrun, saw a guy Pee-ing down to the sea (Why so many of these sight de??? Tell me why ??? Ishh...) ... Run and run and run and run...

Fuh, after about 10km or so... everything that drags me down starts poping out... My knees starts aching, feets starts burning, etc...etc... But what can i do besides running at that point, middle of the bridge ???

Determination...

Really, determination is all u need to complete the run...

If you are determined enough to continue, your body will continue...

At the 15km point, my legs starts to cramp whenever i start to dash... Every dash of a few hundred metres requires a few minutes of rest, else i will end up with St.John's rubbing my muscle... But, determined enough, i finished the race at a not so proud but proud enough to finish and get a medal time of 2 hours 51 minutes... ;p

My first 21km run, done in 2hours51minutes... ;p

Reward of completing... Besides the medal, the experience is PRICELESS !!! ;p

After the distance...

Well, as usual, I do not like to depent on medications as i believe my body will heal normally after runs... so i did not go to the medic station to spray a dose of Hot Spray... However... Lolz... the muscle still pulls after 30minutes or so... So with RB's advice, i went to the Salonpas sponsor booth to get a spray... That also took like 10minutes to take effect... ;p

Dimsum breakfast was after that... ;p

Wonderful filling breakfast before heading back to KL... ;p

Back to Busyland...

Satisfied with the run, we drove back taking turns... ;p

The end... ;p

Ohyea...

The PBIM was organized very well ! Kudos to organizors... ;p

Butterworth Autocity's entrance was hard to find.

Speaking Hokkien is essencial in Penang or you'll end up like a angmo lou.

Parking in Penang is expensive (80cents per hour).

Powerbar and Power gel helps !

PBIM 2010... I will be waiting !!! ;p

Time to Change ! Red to Yellow ! ;p

Today

Bought a new pair of running shoes preparing for the upcoming Penang Bridge International Marathon 2009. Hehe... ;p

Replacing my old running shoe, a Power branded Red running shoes is this yellow striped Reebok dunno what name... Lolz... ;p

Hopefully it lasts and performs for my 21km !!! ;p
