A journey of my life

They spent only a few days with me after being away for almost 3 months in JB. I remember vividly when Dmi was very sad the night before their mummy took them. When I asked him "why are you sad?" He replied "I don't want to go back to JB, I want to stay here with daddy and mummy". Suddenly my tears welled up and I feel so guilty for didn't fight hard enough for them to stay with me. Hope I will be able to take them back next year. Insyaallah.

This is my former school in Japan. I spent 3 years here from 1994 to 1997. I wish I can go back to visit the place in near future.  View Larger Map

Like everyone else, I have my own wish list of what I want to do in life and Ironman is one of them. Now less than a week to the grueling 17-hour race, I feel dokidoki (nervous in Japanese)  The journey not only started last year after I went to support my friends in Ironman 2008. But it was earlier before that. Check out my previous blog at kasturie.fotopages.com . It's not so much of the race itself but the journey to Ironman is full of stories. Some very exciting, some very sad ones. I'm very committed to finish what I have started and I became obsessed about it. The sacrifice I did for this race is so tremendous. Even at one point it ruined my family. I never regret it and this is the most expensive lesson I've ever learned. I must thank people around me who gave great support to achieve my dream.  Thanks to Ala, Bandit & Budin for alluring me into endurance race. Now I'm healthier and better looking than 4 years ago. I owe you guys a great deal. Thanks to OPs, ...

I haven't writing lately because I don't have mood to do it. Creativity only comes when I'm depress, and I'm not longer in that condition anymore (thank god!). Since i'm not a good writer (my ex always ridiculed my writing and she was right about it anyway), I need something to motivate me to express myself in this blog. This blog suppose to be about myself after all. I wish i can write like OP Doc Hisyam , he's one of my idol because he is a very good descriptive writer. His writing full with colors, wisdoms & jokes too.  I want to tell you about my car Naza Citra. Although I've lost my wife & my kids after the divorce, this car seem to be clung together with me. I wanted to sell it off but it doesn't have secondhand value. So, I've to stick with it until I have enough money to let it go and get myself a new... ehem ehem... sports car. Why i bought the car? Because of my wife (ex). She wanted an MPV although I've told her it's too ...

 A trip to Belum Forest is more on playing with my new toy Sony Alpha 300 DSLR than go for  camping. I took nearly 600 pictures and almost 3Gb of data. Lucky i bought an extra battery grip and my photo shooting could last for 3 days without charging. My best shot - Morning view of Tasik Banding The contrast between the water & the blue sky Blue sky, green forest & clear water We hit a jackpot, we found a full bloom Rafflesia! FUN FUN FUN!!!!

I did 3 times Broga loop in a week. I clocked almost 400km of mileage in just one week. A tragedy at Bt 18 Ulu Branang when a pile ups was happened on the 1st January 2009. 4 person injured and have been sent to hospital. I was lucky when my tire was punctured and was left behind from the front pack. If not, i could be one of the victims. Hope no more accident among the cyclist this year.
