Ironman Langkawi 2016

The final edition Ironman Langkawi 2016. Fiza has been preparing for the race for the past one year. It is not easy to training for Ironman, twice a day, 6 days a week, for 5-6 months of no social life.
She has been very dedicated and determined to finish the race no matter what. I tried my best to accompany her whenever I can during weekly training. With support from family and friends, she managed to finish her Ironman race in very good timing. Better than mine! And placing top 7 Malaysian women ranking.

You guys make a great team. Happy for both of you. Kira ko macam Patrick Lameux laki Gwen Jorgensen la. Dia sanggup korbankan kerjaya sukan dia untuk wife dia yg ada better potential.

You're right Syafei! I'm nobody just a casual athlete, don't really do my training, race only for fun and like taking photos of other participants. I got no sponsorship, crowd don't follow my media social, I'm not being featured in any newspapers, magazines or on TV. Maybe I should dedicate my time to support Fiza pursuing her dreams.

Short jaunt to BKK

The initial plan was One Night in Bangkok, but we flew earlier so that we can have 2 nights in Bangkok. A good place to shop for cheap clothing and devour Thai food.  When we don't have enough time to spend together at home, we go to travel together.

So much hassle to bring helmet into Malaysia

Image
Arai or Shoei Helmets in Malaysia are considered as top brand and they are very expensive, nothing less than RM2000 a piece and some models fetch up 3-4 thousands ringgit. I always wanted to buy one but the price has put me on hold until I found out Japanese Yen dropped so much now and it is cheaper to buy online from Rakuten online shopping. I bought my Arai Tour Cross 3 Helmet more than one thousand ringgit cheaper in Japan. When I purchased it via a friend in Tokyo, I didn't know I need a permit to ship it to Malaysia. So, when the package arrived at POS Malaysia KLIA, it has been confiscated by the Royal Custom. I had 21 days to get custom clearance or it will be shipped back to Tokyo. POS Malaysia sent me a letter saying that my package has been kept at POS Malaysia KLIA waiting for custom clearance. Then with the letter I went to MITI (Ministry of International Trade and Industry) office at Kompleks Kerajaan Jalan Duta to apply for the AP. I didn't call when I go ther...

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...
