Putrajaya Night Marathon 2012

The most recent race last Saturday night was Putrajaya Night Marathon. Last year, I ran half-marathon and I  decided to run full this year. My brother-in-law and nephew also took part in half marathon category. We had early dinner in Galleria Putrajaya together with Ultramarathoner friends Ray, Arman, Zinov & Zul. After Maghrib prayer, at start line I met many OPs participating in the race. OP Iran & OP Upak are running their first marathon. OP Stupe runs half marathon. OP Jehan, OP Doc Raja & OP Saufi take part in 10km run. Other runners were Doc Puisan, Cikgu Syed, Mohan, Coma, Andri, Nik Raiha, Aini, Robi, Azhar, Irina, Azim, Tey, Hadi, Elhan and many others to mention here. 
Before start
 After Ultramarathon a month ago, I only ran 32km, not enough mileage for marathon training actually. At least, I have to run 40km-50km mileage a week and I knew I'm going to suffer the last few kilometers during the race. The pain was bearable and I completed my 20th marathon in 5:13 hour, the timing wasn't bad at all. With 20 marathons under my belt, I wish I can hit my 40th marathon when I turn 40 years old in 2014.

2014 KTM Duke 690R

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
