KL Marathon...

While my fav F1 driver, kimi, is having his first race this season (and he won! reports here), Viv is in a race too =) Yup, you've guess it, the kl marathon. This is a last minute decision, coz viv are suppose to work at site, but then it was postponed. So, while most of the ppl still in their dreamland, Viv woke up at 4.45 am, freshen up, and waiting for Nigel to come fetch her. Nigel participate in the half marathon, which start earlier, at 6 am. Here is a pix when the half marathon'ers start off.



viv took this pix using her camera phone, so the quality is not really good. but, dataran merdeka in the morning is really nice, the view is spectacular... esp the clock tower against the dark blue sky. Viv took part in the 10km run, which starts at 7am. And guess what, before we start off, the first few full marathon'ers already finish their race (they start earlier at 4.30am)!!!! Its amazing!! Viv is truly impressed. The champion, who is from Kenya, clocked in 2 :17 :38. I heard they run about 18-19km/h non-stop! Results here. Nigel name is inside also, well done, Nigel!

As for Viv, she finished her race within 84min, which is within the time limit allowed (90min), #277 in her category, and got herself a cert and medal =)



This organizer is definitely better than the Subang Jaya run that I participated previously. At least, we have two water stations with *chilled water and 100plus along the 10km course. And thanks to the cheers of some volunteers, policemen and the adidas group (with the impossible is nothing banner), viv actually do run faster, altho she is damn tired ;) Viv is proud of herself today.... and she definitely goin to bed early tonite.... Zzzz...

Like the Flowing River

Been reading Paulo Coelho's book - like the flowing river, lately. I first got to know paulo coelho from a nice article he wrote which my fren sent me through emails - about Closing Cycles. His short stories always keep me inspired and to live in the present. Here's one of them:

The Funny Thing about Human Beings
A man asked my friend Jaime Cohen: 'What is the human being's funniest characteristic?'
Cohen said: 'Our contradictoriness. We are in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all our money on getting well again. We think so much about the future that we neglect the present, and thus experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.'
-paulo coelho-

and this is so true....

坏消息..

最近,心里有点烦
朋友那边传来几个坏消息
吓得我都慌了,有点不知所措
咳,怎么都这样呢?
我的坏消息
去年的十一月就传来了
到现在,以为都遗忘了
其实, 并没有...
心里面
还是有那一块
以前是痊愈不了的伤口
现在是个美好回忆
我想
我们应该谢谢坏消息
因为它
让我们更坚强 :)

cycling at FRIM

this is the 2nd week i went cycling at FRIM.. for about two hours in the morning. havent go off-road yet though.. but am progressing well, hehe... really hope im gonna make it soon ( and with my own bike, ahem... =) FRIM is really a nice place for cycling n jogging with frens or families. Can always see a bunch of school kids, groups of friends, parents with kids & couples enjoying their healthy day out :)

oh ya, cant believe it, i actually have lunch at the curve, went back home, take a nap, then went back to d curve again with some frens... for some shopping & dinner.. ahaha...seems like im a loyal supporter of the curve ;p

am tired!!

this evening, just to see how much stamina i have, i went jogging, and after that swimming, and im very very, extremely tired now, hehe. and I just did like 30 min of jogging, then rest for half an hour, coz jovy's picking me up to 3K swimming pool. Then, we swam for like an hour (not non-stop though, a lot of chit chat in between actually, hehe). And, a rewarding dinner that follow-up is nice. We had our dinner at pizza vs satay, we ordered the satay pizza and nasi lemak ;)

now am wondering how the guys did the triathlon... how to build up that kind of stamina...yayaya...training training training, of course. Think of it, 1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km run... I think am fainting :p

a letter... from He Bei

Recieved a letter from my sponsored child not long ago... here it goes...

Am so excited when i read the letter. Her hand-writing is definitely better than mine, haha. Glad that I signed-up for this child sponsorship.. Make me realised... there are many many more unfortunate people out there, who has no money to buy food, no clean water, no educations.... I should feel grateful each n every day that I have a shelter above me, n good frens to share my happiness n sorrow... I really shouldnt be complaining & upset over those small little things.

If you are interested to join, pls visit WorldVisionMalaysia.
