SCKLM - my side of story

Everybody has been posting their interesting adventure on the marathon last Sunday. I have been very busy and plus, I didn’t have much adventure to share. I was only doing 10km run, nothing compared to 21k or 42k.

But what is different in this race…I GOT MY FIRST MEDAL..!!! hahah… poyo je lebih! Ekceli, everybody who managed to finish will get the medal! :p Not la because I finished within the time limit. But…who cares? The feeling of somebody placing the medal around your neck was like a different feeling altogether, like you have accomplished something proudly.



I must admit, that I didn’t take the race seriously. I know timing is not the reason for not doing any trainings, but my alasan this time is not only no time but also malas!

I thought registering for Subang 10k could at least become the momentum to start training for SCKLM, but….apa kan daya.. bola lebih penting.. huhu..

As Ali mentioned in the last post, we had bbq the night before ok. Ada ayam, kambing, nasi lemak, popiah, noodle, satay, sausages, roti burger…and I carried them with me throughout the race. Oh..sangat seksa. Perut buncit and it was bouncing bersama-sama dengan my pouch.

Sibuk pakai 'Breathe Right' sebab tengok semua orang pakai, without knowing the function :p

What made it special this race was because my bestfriend Dini registered the race with me, and it was her first time. Since I had zero trainings, don’t even remember the last race I joined, I told her that I would be damn slow. She said she had never joined any race, and she has stamina problem, cepat penat. So we vowed to run together.

NEVER TRUST PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAID THEY DON’T HAVE STAMINA!!!!!! We ran together the first km, but I was running real slow, almost brisk walking, but she was like jumping-jumping couldn’t wait to go faster. I told her to go, I will catch up. She refused at the beginning, probably because of the vow we made.. hahah.. After few times of persuading her to go, she reluctantly left me….and…I never saw her again.. hahah…

I thought I did slightly better than my previous 10k runs. I reached at the 4km mark at half an hour where I used to take 40 minutes to run 3km. The first water station was bad, I had to queue to get my drink. I started to run again. I didn’t see any familiar faces throughout the run.

My mistake this time was, I didn’t bother to study the route, and I couldn’t even gauge the distance. When I went up the Lake Garden at masjid Negara, and then I came out from the Lake area heading towards dataran, I thought I almost reach the finishing line. I pushed myself damn hard even at the upward hill. But I thought wrong. The route took the turning left at Bank Negara instead of right to Dataran. Oh..my leg was crying out loud and I couldn’t run anymore. Couldn’t even walk briskly. Jalan macam orang Jepun, with small steps all the way sampai Sogo, oh my!

At that point in time, I thought I was gonna ride the van. My leg was in pain, I was limping all the way to the finishing line. Was very frustrating to see all those that ran behind me took over at that point. Lesson learnt: Study your route. So you know when to push and when not to!

But I finished it anyway. Alhamdulillah.. Dini was 20 minutes ahead of me. Cool for a first timer.. congrats babe! So proud of you!

Congratulations to Ali, with the blisters, u managed to complete the run. To Ayman, u’re good as always. To the other 21k and 42k finishers… BIG TAHNIAH.. for all your PBs this round. Your will is my inspiration.

Painful SCKLM

The night before SCKLM we had a small bbq gathering and also watched the worldcup match between Uruguay and Korea Republic. As much as I anticipated the next morning run will be difficult because of the lamb overdose and perhaps lack of sleep I clearly overlooked this! I had a nasty blister at the bottom of my foot halfway through the run. I was reduced to walking from 9km onwards. I walked the rest of the race and bumped into Nurina 2.5km from the finish line and we walked/jog together towards the finish line.





A big congratulations to Ayman for finishing well for his half marathon and also the heroins of the day Miss Izrin and Miss Dini for finishing your races with finishers' medal.






apart from the finisher's medal, I got this as a souvenir for at least a week.

Note to self : dri fit socks is probably as important as dri fit tops / bottoms if not more.

Once you were

Once you were my best friend,
We went to the same school, that’s how we met.

Once you were my best friend,
We laughed about lame jokes, and you were the cause of all amusement, that’s how funny you used to be.

Once you were my best friend,
We talked about our relationships, that’s how comfortable we were with each other.

Once you were my best friend,
We spent late nights just hanging out, went on holidays, talked about Ex-s, be there on every occasion, every crisis, hugged for comfort, that’s how close we were.

Until you met the girl that YOU thought was the love of your life,
You said, " Meet my best friend, Izrin",
I thought to myself, "My best friend is in love"

When the world was against you, I stood up for you, I protected you,
I accepted her, for who she is, because YOU said she makes you happy,
I tried to make everybody back to where we used to be, once when you were my best friend.

But you chose your own life,
You chose your path,
You chose your love and never tried to make it work with your other life with me,
You chose to be happy on your own,
You chose to forget the memories,
You chose to forget me,
You chose to be a friend once,
But now you chose to be just someone I knew back then when I was in school.

Cium

This morning we were on the phone.
Told him that my father invited him for dinner tonight.
He declined because Korea is playing at 7.30 against Argentina.

I said "I hope u change ur minD".

He sounded shocked and terkejut dan tak sangka. He couldn't believe what he heard.

Apa yang pelik sangat dengan soalanku itu?

What he heard was" I hope u cium cium I"

Haha.. Bengong! Gatal gila aku.

Junks

Him: I have a surprise for you.

She: What is it? What is it?

Him: I can't tell you, it's a surprise.

Me: I LOVEEEEEE ITTTTT!!!!! Butttt.....urghh

Ali adalah perosak badan saya.

Tapi, terima kasih.

Stress Relievers!

Subang 10k 2010

Looking at the photo above, there were only two of us in the pix. No other people around us.

Not because we were the first.. huh jauh sekali.
Not because we took the wrong route.
Not because tiada sambutan.

We didnt even join the race.

Semua kerana FIFA.

27th, thank you

My 27th birthday may have not been the grandest or as happening as previous years. But what I will remember about this year is the well wishes I received from friends. And the best part is to receive birthday notes from friends whom have not seen or spoken in years as well as friends, whom I thought had never liked me. Hahaha..

Thank You, All.

Another thing that I will remember about this year's birthday is to receive a wonderful birthday card from Ali. The expensive gifts in past years but without card is not comparable to this one. It's the sweetest thing anyone had ever told me. Thanks and I love you.
