After pneumonia?

WAAZZZZZZZUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!!

Sorry for the lack of updates..I've been really busy.

1. Training my running for my half marathon. Decided to do my half marathon at Singapore's Standard Chartered Marathon instead on 7th of December 2008.
2. Ran Siemens Run 2008 - What are you running for? on 6th of July, which was last Sunday.
3. I just came back from my company trip to Bali 2 weeks ago.Okay it doesn't sound like I'm busy but did you see my running schedule? :D

I'll start with the latest event which is the Siemens Run 2008 10KM! I finished clocking at 1 Hour 4 mins! Too good to be true. After meeting up with Frank, he said the actual distance measured by his Nike+ Sportband was 8,65KM. Nevertheless, I survived the uphill! The route was VERY hilly. I kept my pace all the way. Tackle every hill till I reached Lake's Garden/Tugu Kebangsaan where the running route was more flat. My review for this run won't be an exciting one. I need to check the route where I've ran but.....here are some pictures from the run.

The Route.

Once again, some priceless shots..dammit pacesetter...why can't you take a photo of me...without weird facial expression.

Zoommmm . Frank took this picture

Approaching finishing line...zooommmm

Proud moment :)

L-R: Chee Kong, Frank, David, Me and Andrew Chang

My car had some problem with the starter that morning. So instead of me driving tailing Frank's car, I had to follow Frank in his car instead. Thanks alot Frank!. Also after the run, Andrew was kind enough to drop me and Chee Kong back to our place after having our breakfast at SS2.

Once back at my gf's place, I took like a 2 hours nap before going out for lunch with my parents. The restaurant was called Hainanese Taste(or something like that). I might not remember all the names but....here are the picutres!

Mee Pok!


Soup that came with the mee pok


Fried Chee Cheung Fun


Fried Fish noodles


Big bowl of soup with everything in.. RM10!


Fried...something


Fried something as well...

Believe it or not...after lunch, we went to 1 Utama. Honestly my legs were really aching haha. But I was happy as I was able to spend time with my parents as well as my sayang :)

Not only that, I bought for my mum and dad shoes! Also bought a Camel Active sandal for myself. About Rm3XX in total but I guess it was worth it.

Here are some pictures of the goodies from Siemens Run.

Da Cert


Some heart rub and Vitamin C drink called Berocca

Oh..and while at 1 Utama, I bought the heatrub as well...Thought of giving it a try as my legs were having DOMS real bad.

I took leave on Monday too. Me and my sayang went to The Gardens and Mid Valley to shop around. Lunch was kinda sinful tho....it was....

Training for 22.7KM.

Just a short update....I'm training hard for my first 22.7KM half marathon.
This is week number 2. Crazy?

6th of July = Siemen's Run - 10KM
10th of August = Adidas King Of The Road : 22.7KM

Wish me luck!.

Hello? I'm still here lahhhh :D

W'sup peeps.....Its been awhile. I've been busy resting, recovering, working out and training my running again. Working out is fine but running is really a pain in the ass. I love running...I'm not complaining but it seems harder for now. Its either my running pace is too fast or my stamina has deteriorated. Whatever the case is...I have 2 more weeks to train before my upcoming run on 15th of June! More details later.

Some updates for last week :D Me and my sayang went to The Gardens and found this place called Gurney Drive, yea yea...that "Penang" Gurney Drive.

o.O It's the lighting, not my camera.

Pretty cool eh? How often do you get to see this? Apart from coming to this place of course.

Wutz this? The menu =)

Browsed through the menu and my girlfriend ordered Curry Laksa while I ordered the Fried Kuey Teow.

"Stalls"?

Bling Bling Char Kuey Teow "stall"

Waited for about 5 to 10mins...the Laksa was ready.

Followed by our drinks....

Ambra with sour plum juice or something like that. The other? Barley

My Char Kuey Teow? I had to wait like 20mins for it. I asked the waiter about 4 times to check if its ready. As Ramsay would say "HOLY FUCK What the fuck are you doing? Fry the Kuey Teow and get the food out there? Where are your bullocks? Not really nice to let a customer to wait for 20mins for CHAR KUEY TEOW? But fine...I'll see how good it tastes.

Char Kuey Teow...need I say more? Yes..that is LAP CHEONG. PORK

MY NEW GYM! Since I'm working out from home now, I went to my sister's condo to use the gym last Saturday. It ain't much but hey! I get to do my back, Chest, Shoulder and LEGS! On to the pictures of my new toy!...er okay not "MY" new toy but its free to use anyway...so....enjoy the pics!

What do you call this huge ass machine again?

Leg Press

Chest Press, Shoulder Press?

Pulldown, for back and lats. It can also be used for Bicep Curl...There is a diagram to guide you for that, so I ain't gonna explain :D

Leg Extension....bloody hell, whose foot print is that? Kurang ajar...don't spoil the gym!

Weight plates...left is in KG unit and right is in lbs unit..POUND

Stationary Bike, Elliptical Trainer, and treadmill. Oh and...the Gym ball LOL There are two of them in the gym.

Now for my other new toys. I decided to get a thicker socks for running. Previously, my thick socks made me have blisters after long runs. May be it is because of the material used but anyway, I switched to thin ones from Nike(Sorry forgot the actual name for it..Sports I think). I have 2 pairs of the thin Sport nike socks...with arch support.

Now that I'm using thin socks, my shoe feels kinda loose. I bought this new Tactel - sports moisture wicking socks from Nike. I tested it yesterday evening( 26.05.2008 ) and it felt alright although I ran ONLY ONE KILOMETER. The material is nylon, air flow was okay and my toes didn't feel like it's rubbing aggressively against something rough which might cause blisters(my previous chiplak thick cotton socks).

RM15.90

Whatever this means....

I also bought a multi vitamin and minerals...might be a wrong brand to get but was trying it out. The lady said its a local brand.. Hovid but it is a public listed company or some shit. The shop was opposite GIANT at 1 Utama's new wing.

Yada yada yada

Pardon my hairy leg

Again, pardon my hairy leg.
