the first 17

 

As usual for any race, I never get the chance to train for the real distance. It is always 'just do it' on the real day. For this 17km, the longest I did for training was 7km, and that was only once. My usual run only cover 2-3km at once. I suck, I know. 

but whattheheck, when you already signed up for it, you just have to do it. 

Padang Kota, before the run

So I did...

...and got this... with a timing a little better than I expected. Not a good one, but good enough for myself.

For someone who starts running (or I should say jogging) this late, I don't compare myself with others, I keep my own running diary, the goal is to see my own improvement. Even the slightest improvement is an achievement. That is enough to make me happy :)

The single most expensive piece of seluor I've ever own. Cari punya cari tak jumpa compression pants yang murah. Geleng kepala tengok harga tapi tak ada yang lain. Even my jeans are wayyyyy cheaper. Dah sendat gitu sah la kena pakai kat dalam aje kan.

 

nota gambar: mimpi aje ler i nak dapat kaki camtu!

I'm starting to love running but I still suck at it.

Jan 2013

Pretty much sums up my first month of the year.

New year fireworks, from Jelatek.

Coffee with college-mates from 20 years ago.

 

Moon, at the start of the year.

Fist weekend, SG.

When you have the biggest per person carbon footprint in the Asia Pacific region, what do you do? 

Create Supertrees & import exotic species to fill up a green house!

Frankly, I do admire the architecture BUT I sincerely Doubt (yes, with a capital D) the 'sustainability' claims.

"They took all the trees
And put ‘em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem ‘em"

Big Yellow Taxi was the theme song playing on loop in my head when I was there.

Night view, Gardens by the Bay, SG.


Second Weekend, KK

 First time eating buah terap!

 Kinabalu Park again, but not for a climb.

The world down there. Manukan Island.

Third Weekend, Penang, makan kenduri.

Fourth Weekend, KT

Full Moon

The place I jogged to.

Batu Burok.

Life's a beach. The waves can be too fierce at times.

***

Keep swimming. That's the only way to survive.

Mulut

Kalau ada kawan yang seronok bercerita kisah-kisah buruk kawan lain, berhati-hatilah. Mungkin cerita kita bakal dijaja nanti. Kalau bertemu kawan-kawan dan nak update cerita kawan-kawan lain, bawalah cerita yang baik-baik. Tutuplah aib orang walaupun kita tahu. Insya Allah, Allah akan tutup aib kita.

Kita tak sempurna, jadi jangan duk bercerita keburukan orang.
