Trail Running at FRIM

Image
Training for ultra trail marathon has just begun last week. I ran 17km trail running twice in a week (just one day apart) at FRIM. Beautiful trail, serene skies, tranquil life, peaceful environment and alone most of time in the jungle all by myself. Alone in the jungle... scary if you're not use to it Bumped into my OP batch mates & ultraman Some photos in action (with a blood sucking creature) More familiar faces along the way Panorama view You can see Petronas Twin Towers & KL tower from here Pinus Trail leading to Steroid Hill (helipad) I'm floating!

Thank you Celcom for a free iPhone5

Image
When my boss found out this is my first iPhone, he commented I was not cool enough for not using Apple products. Actually, my first PC was Macintosh Performa 5200. I was a Mac User before I learn to use Windows. Why didn't I buy iPhone before, because I already have Blackberry given by my company. To me, Blackberry already served the purpose. Only recently, I was planning to buy either iPhone or S3 because my Blackberry keeps having problem. Based on technical specification S3 is more superior than iPhone but iPhone IOS gives better user experience compare to Android. I was about to buy an iPhone, when all Celcom staff received an e-mail saying that we all going to get an iPhone5 each. Of course, we thought it was a prank initially until our CEO Dato Shaz mentioned it in his 25th anniversary video recording, we convinced it is a real deal. Many of our friends who are not working with Celcom are jealous when the news spreading over facebook. Tell you what, you can also enj...

I don't feel like to do any 2012 reflections or celebrate new year. Just hoping my boy Ian will get better soon. Lucky, his mummy & stepfather took quick action brought him for thorough check-up before doctor found out he has acute appendicitis. It can be fatal if inflamed appendix to rupture and immediate surgery took place last Saturday. I spent two nights at the hospital looking after him. Well he's very heavy, needs me to help him stand-up to go to the toilet. Now he's recovering at his mummy's place. Thanks to  those visiting him at the hospital. It did bring both sides of the family closer again. Get well soon Ian. And HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 to blog readers! 新年明けましておめでとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いします。 Dmi always playful but he takes great care of his brother

Newton Challenge 25km

Image
Closing this year racing calendar with Newton Challenge 25km. But how ironic, my first event this year also Newton Challenge 25km on 1st January. Clocked 2:53hrs, including 10 minutes break for Subuh prayer at Petronas Station along the route. Not many usual suspects as I expected. Before the race I met Wani, a cute girl who's enjoying jungle trekking. First few KM after the race started,  I ran with Noradzmudin. Not sure who's pacing who. The first half very hilly   Then met  Ray at Petronas station when I stopped for Subuh prayer. Ray has done 25km x 2 loops started at 2am. Yeah, that guy is crazy! I also ran the last 5km with OP Azrin my junior in RMC. He's in very good shape.  Less hilly on second half   After the race, met many more friends like IM Nik Raiha, Edan Syah, OP Upak, OP, Monzar, Elhan, Azman, Hadi (he didn't race, he was a photographer), Azman, etc After the race  Two Newton Challenge's finisher medals this year. ...

OPA Father & Sons Camp

Image
Well done to OPA for organizing Father & Sons camp this year. I remember they had similar program several years ago camping on a private island in Johor but this time we camped at Kem Hutlista, Ulu Yam not far from Batu Dam. The organizer lead by OP Sany had done a good job to ensure the program runs smoothly. We gathered at OPA building, Saujana Subang before leaving to Kem Hutlista riding behind two 3-tonners. There were nearly 50 people joined the program and half of the fathers were my batch mates in RMC. Our batch already planning to do another camping next year so that we can bring our daughters, wives and girlfriends to join. First day, travel in 3 tonner & setup tent   After we reached the destination, we had a short briefing and distribution of ponchos, mess tins, water bottles and army rations for our meal. It has been so many years since the last time I had my army ration in RMC. I can say, the rations have been improvised so much better now. I thin...
