A journey of my life

Before I leaving for the run, I bumped into OP Komeng my neighbour. He asked me what's the distance I'm going to race tonight. I told him it's only 11.8km run. Then he said, I thought you will never take part in anything lesser than half marathon. Well, sometimes we have to run shorter distance to really enjoy the race. That is exactly what I had in Men's Health Night Run... fun fun fun & nice goodies bag :) I drove to Putrajaya together with Hafiz (my BIL) and Helmi (my nephew). They are still newbies in running but they are doing it with passion. We started 5 minutes late because we went for Maghrib prayer at nearby mosque and the Iman recited very long "surah" during the prayer. Thank God, Allah blessed us with a good run afterward. I ran very fast for the first half before came across "G" girls Nana, Selly & Azu. We ran together until the last stretch to finish line. Although I missed top 500 medal, I'm glad I had an enjoyable run w...

This is first time I attended my kid's sports day. I met OP Budin & wife there because their son also in the same batch with Dmi. He had fun although he didn't win a medal.

I never missed PD Triathlon since 2007. The only triathlon doses I got for last year & this year. How did I train?? I only cycled once about 30km since last year PD Tri just to check the bike and I swam twice since last year in the pool for about 500m each. Well, OD is nothing compare to Ironman and I finished in 3:26hr. To me, the race is a gathering among our triathlete friends and we had so much fun doing it every year. Race kit collection, carbo-loading & race briefing The sea was calmed but too crowded with swimmers. This year PD Tri race organized by Mr. Chan has broken the record with the most participated triathlon event in Malaysia with approximately 1800 participants in all categories. Swim Cycling also easy-peasy. This year, I saw someone riding the same zebra bike Aqua Sapone and I did drafting behind him for several kilometers.  Bike The weather was hot during running leg. About 50% of the route near the beach. Some people didn't like it bu...

Yes...completed my 16th Marathon in 5:27hr. Errr.. not PB but not bad at all. I brought my camera as usual to capture the event, unfortunately I forgot the memory card at home... dang!  Still having flu on the race day after almost a week, but being stubborn I forced myself to run despite congested chest. I took it easy with slower pace. B etween km 10 & km 20,  I had stomach upset and got to take two long toilet breaks. Don't know what's wrong with the food I ate although I cooked myself for carbo-loading. Overall it was good run and my legs still fresh after crossing the finish line. This is a good sign for my up coming Ultra Marathon race in September.

Salute to all R2R committee for pulling everybody together to organize this event of the year. The attendance was about 100 OPs for both days, may not be as many as OP-PP Games carnival but the fun is double or triple! To the Commandant OP Colonel Amiruddin, RMC staff & the Puteras.... you guys are the best host!! I'm proud to say, my batch has the most attendance in the event. There were 17 of us OP Bandit, OP Bear, OP Ala, OP Mat Gan, OP Budin, OP Jepun, OP Black, OP Aca, OP Mandela, OP Jampok, OP Mat Yep, OP Kappy, OP Mat Kong, OP Joejo, OP Upiq, OP Man Dondeng and me (Those are their nicknames) Registration on 1st day The moment I came down from 3 tonner together with OP Bear & OP Jepun, RSM PW1 Che Ka shouting on top of his lungs at three of us. We were confused for awhile, why the hell he treated us like new recruits. After awhile, I got it.... he was trying to re-enact the moment we came for registration when we first reporting to RMC many years ago. He ...

We stayed at new KSL Resort Hotel in JB We're having fun fun fun! Kidzania visit... just don't go during school holidays Let see, which one is more Japanese? We had so much fun until both cried when I sent them off after the break ended.

The exciting adrenalin rush tour took me down to wave 6 feet tall thrilling rapids category IV through the untamed part of Padas River claimed to be the best in South East Asia. The adventure covers a distance of 9km of muddy 200km Padas River that hold 7 exciting & nasty rapids with amusing name such as Merry-go-round rapid, Break Point rapid, Scooby Doo rapid, Cobra rapid, Curve rapid, Lambada rapid & Head Hunter rapid! (Murut people famously known as the "Head Hunter")   The journey first took about 1:30 hours travel from Kota Kinabalu to Beaufort Town. From thereupon, the adventure begins with 2 hours train ride tracks along Padas River. Upon arriving at start point at Pangi station, we were given safety briefing before jump into the river. The ultimate challenge speaks for itself as we paddled through crescendo rough & nasty rapids one after another beating us left and right from start to finish. I almost lost my contact lens during the rafting. Aft...
