Singapore Marathon 2010

This is another record breaking when I did 3 major races (1 powerman & 2 marathons) in 4 weeks. I was pushing my body over limit but I was enjoyed doing it. Anyway, don’t try this at home if you are not mentally prepared and lack of training. Seriously, most of you will give up half way or maybe not even half way :P

PC050027 I couldn’t see where the heck is start line from where I was standing.

PC050023

Whoaaaa…. I couldn’t see where is the end of the line too. I must have been standing somewhere in the middle. Roughly 15,000 marathoners and 60,000 runners in total including half marathon & 10km run took part this year.

PC050022 My fellow Singaporean runners S’porean Blade Runner, Kash & Zam

PC050031 This is why we call him Blade Runner. Don’t play-play, he can cut your head with one swing kick. Anyway, despite his disability, he continues running and shame on you who have both legs but too lazy to exercise.

PC050036 One photo of myself :)

PC050044 It took me nearly 10 mins to cross start line.

PC050057 Running in the middle of the city somewhere near Chinatown.

PC050071 Half the course was in East Coast Park.

PC050079 Halfway through, another 21km more to go.

PC050090 Awesome babe! She was running in sandals, with a python strapped around her, a 20 pounds tyre hooked to her, and a monkey taking joyride in the box behind her....Look at all her muscles, sexy!
Check out her blog why she did this: http://www.justgiving.com/tyregirl

PC050107 At the 30km mark, 12km more to go.

PC050119 Great view from this spot

PC050130 My favourite quote…. 7km more to go.

PC050139 Check out her ARSE!!!! I mean check out was written on the paper. Don’t stare too long ok… hehehe

PC050158 If you think she can do and so can you…. YOU’RE WRONG!!! Marathon is a mental game. Even if your body as skinny as lizard or as tough as Arnold Susahnakeja, you will never complete a marathon if you are not mentally prepare.

PC050157Yeay! 2km more to go!!!

PC050168 This is another record breaking…. my worst ever timing! Hahahaha…. But at least I completed the race right?!

IMG_4747 The finisher medal… nice huh?! ;)

One more race to go for this year Malakoff 12km Run on 19th December. Hope can I can do it sub 1 hour.

One of the wishes I have on my bucket list is to own a big bike before I hit 40. A long time ago (in the year 1997 to be exact), when I came back from Japan after finishing my studies, I wanted to cry looking at the price tag of big cc motorcycles in Malaysia. Due to all kinds of taxes imposed by the government, they are ridiculously expensive!! Probably, the most expensive in the world! (How ironic, big bikes are cheaper in Singapore than here??) With the fresh grad salary I was getting at that time, there was no way I could afford to buy one. If I want to purchase one, I have to choose between owning a big bike or a car. With family on the way, I had to choose the latter. With a car, I can ferry my family around. Fast forward to the present time, only at the end of last year, I realized I still didn't fulfill this wish. I already have in my mind a few bikes within my budget to consider including Monster, Shiver, Versys, Dorsoduro, 800GS, Z800, and Street Triple. Finally, I ch

2021 Triumph Trident 660

Image
Just a month after I bought my SV650, Fiza's friend offered her husband's motorcycle at a very attractive price. Apparently, her husband had given up riding and was willing to let go of the bike. After discussing it with me, I immediately told her to grab it because the mileage was fairly low. They settled the deal in just 15 minutes and over the following weekend, we went to JB to pick up the bike. To our surprise, the previous owner not only handed over the bike but also everything else, including riding jackets, boots, helmets, gloves, and more. Even the bike came with extras like a windscreen, new levers, engine guard, belly pan, tail bag, and bike cover. He said he didn't have time or passion for riding anymore, which was evident from the fact that the bike had only 174 km mileage after more than a year. The bike had not even had the first service yet! Before I bought my SV650, I had considered the Triumph Trident 660, but the price was way more expensive. Fiza, on the

Weekend jaunt to Brisbane

Image
The following weekend after the trip to Adelaide, Fiza got another day off in Brisbane. Since I had never been to Brisbane before, I joined her trip to Down Under again within a week. Trip to Australia again  Like the Adelaide trip, the flight was at night and we arrived at Brisbane Airport in the morning. After Fiza got her rest at the hotel, we went out looking for lunch. Then we jalan-jalan at the shopping arcade. Around the city center  In the evening, we went out running along the river. The view by the river bank was spectacular. The city is alive at night, unlike Adelaide. There were events and people were busy everywhere. A short run along the river  The next day, we went to Warner Bros. Movie World near the Gold Coast. Joining us were another 2 stewardesses Trista & Rachel but the captain bailed out last minute. It took 1 hour to get there by train. The theme park was full of visitors because it was Saturday. We had to queue for half an hour to enjoy some
