All in one update

BIM (Borneo International Marathon) 2012 is nearing.  I'm excited and anxious at the same time.  I think reason why I'm not getting enough sleep lately.  There's been ups and downs during my training, the best part is running faster and maintaining my pace, bad part is my body got so tired that it keeps giving up.  I'm frustrated sometimes.  But I guess cause I don't know how to relax?  Like seriously relax?

My smelly wet New Balance

Anyways, it's taper week and I'm back on track.  I manage to maintain my pace at 6:28 mins for 14.09km today, it could be better if it wasn't because of the rain at 6 something this morning, but am still proud of myself.  Heavy rain!  It felt like I was being pushed with that strong wind, I couldn't be too skinny now, cause last I check, I weight around 46.5kg which is bad cause I lost 3kg muscle :(  too much cardio?  It's okay.  Lets just leave the weight at that till after my full marathon.

Had Ngiu Chap for breakfast.

Notice how the photos aren't center?  I take using instagram lol

Went home, thought I would sleep but I end up staying up playing Borderlands on steam and unlocked 2 achievements.  I'd play longer but I had to go out for boardgame at 2:30pm.

I've been off facebook for 3 weeks now.  It felt good and bad at the same time.  I needed some of the updates but it's too much of a distraction.  But here's another problem I've encountered.  Instagram!  I've been on it since 4th April, I've uploaded over 200 photos, WTH is wrong with me?

Crazy or not?

I must be on a blogging spree

I'm making time to blog lately.  I think I found the reason why.  FACEBOOK! Gawddamn facebook been sucking my life all these while till I don't have time for anything.  Yeah, one of the reason for deactivating myself.  You're not gonna take my soul!  Damn YOU!

Anyways back to what I was suppose to blog about.  Boardgames yes! :)

But before that, I have no idea why I'm feeling extremely hungry, till the extent of emptiness since last Sunday.  Did I not eat enough food?  What is going on?  Maybe "nippon flagging" soon?

Update on my injuries:

• The rib is fine, no signs of pain.  I also ran out of meds.
• Starting to feel twitch on the right leg from last Sunday run.  Yes yes, I gotta be careful next time.  Again! 
• Body were all sore this morning like a piano fell onto me.  But I'm feeling quite fine now.  Actually I haven't shower yet and still in my working clothes lol.  Talking about being enthusiastic.

The Sunday running encounter

Scheduled 22.53km run today.  I've improved.  So happy.  But before we get to that, lets rollback for a bit.

The night before, I slept at 10pm.  After watching episode 2 of the tv series Touch.  This series is nice, it's that dood from 24, right?  I don't really like him but somehow this one is good.  Woke up at 11pm twice because of nightmare.  Trying to recall if I watched any weird horror movies lately.  Somehow, it was a creepy weird dream.  It's like I was going to a public toilet and the shower in one were on and next thing you know somebody is choking me.  Dafuq.  I can't brain this.  I couldn't sleep after that.  My alarm was set at 2am.  So for 2 hours I was looking at the ceiling.  Sad case of being scared.  My sis went to Kundasang with her friend.  I would have gone if I don't have scheduled run today.

Finally get off from the bed around 2:05am, you know that feeling when you get extremely hungry that you feel empty inside?  That was my morning feeling.  So, I thought maybe my final medicine for the rib pain made me hungry.  Hey, I had dinner the night before and that doesn't seem to cover the whole emptiness.  Showered, ate 3 bananas and drink water.  Feel slightly better.  Did some browsing till 3:20am.  Stomach ache, went to the toilet twice.  Oh lord.

Good Friday Thank God

I couldn't do my Thursday scheduled run due to rain.  I was pissed cause I thought I wouldn't wanna miss any this month cause it's the final month I get to train before the actual day.  No, I'm not overtraining though I injured my left rib.  Still manageable.  Nothing serious, don't worry.  I've also gone through some personal issues (truth hurts but that's how life is).

Oh did I blog about my smartphone.  Yes, it's finally back.  My data totally wipe out but they upgraded the firmware.  Gingerbread!  Faster than previous.  But it's still wonky when I charge it.  In the sense that I couldn't play with it when it's charging.  But overall it's good.  It's like a sign to start anew.  Re-installed some android apps that I used to use.  But the best apps that got me hooked would be instagram.  Since I got this installed, I've been posting photos like madness.  I must be crazy.  Been trying to refrain myself not to post everything lol.

A random plan just for us girls (Me, Jna, Sakuya and Amber).  With all the stress and issues lately, we decided to just go to one of the island, in this case, Manukan to de-stress.  Initially it was an incomplete pack but at the very minute, everything work out fine.

Woke up early in the morning, had my bag all packed, went to Sakuya's house around 7:30am.  Went to supermarket to get some supplies.  Left my car there and 3 of us carpool to Jesselton Point.

Amplang!

Yay~ Sakuya went to Tawau for an event and bought me a big pack of amplang weeeeeeeeee.

Hot pack

Funny looking hot pack.  I was asking my mum if she have this thing cause I have to place warm water on my rib three (3) times a day for 15 mins.  Mum actually have those hot/cold pack but I was too lazy to wait or do anything with it.  Initially I wanted to just use a water bottle but somehow the thought of sleeping with a water bottle doesn't seem fun.

What is up with this heat?

I mean seriously.  Why is it so hot? Every night, I sleep, I have to turn on the aircond.  Sometims I end up waking up and turning the aircond off cause it was too cold but sometimes I end up waking up again cause it was too hot that it's giving me rashes.  Gawddamnit!

On another note, remember how wait, did I even blog about me twisting the veins around near my left ribcage like 2 Saturdays ago?  Anyways, if I didn't then yeah I sort had that going on, it messed up my nerves and breathing.  I got it fixed early last week but it didn't went away.  I actually felt like running with a burden on my sides during my last run sessions.  I think it totally screwed me.  Didn't complete my last week's Saturday run.  I only manage to complete 5.6km when I should be doing 9.66km.  I know for a fact that my breathing was messed up cause when I stop, I see stars.  That did not happen for awhile.  I mean like the last time I see stars were like a year ago, maybe, when I was running around the park and went hiking after that.  Yes yes, I should have taken a breather but I kept going.  Not enough oxygen, yes yes, I know.

Free body analysis

It's been at the park for quite some time.  I mean the free body analysis banner.  I got curious.  Who knows my body fat % is off the chart right?  I always wanted to go and check but I'm either too focus with my scheduled run or I don't have friend to go with me.  Today was a different story.

After my failed run today, I think I ate something I shouldn't the pain came back after I went to fix it yesterday. It's so frustrating.  My rib felt like it's being crushed when I walk.  I'm back to no laughing and coughing.  I had to end my run before I could reach 4km.  Meet up with my friend and walk with her for 30 mins.  Mind you, that walk wasn't pleasant.  I was groaning all the way, trying to adjust my body so I won't feel it.  But I was complaining the twitch that I wanted somebody to break/kick me so it'll somehow fix it.  It's so annoying, it's driving me nuts.

Going to get it check again tomorrow.

The weight loss journey

I was browsing through some old photos in my facebook album and found this.

Le fat meh :(

New Year of 2009 with Sakuya.  Holy shit! Look at those arm.  WARGH so fat oh me.

Holy shit!  I was overweight back then.  Like over 60kg.

Back then, I was wearing baggy shirt with baggy jeans.  I think I was wearing a US or was it UK size 14.  XL all the way.  *sweat.  No self confidence.  I'm very aware of my body shape and I do not like to show my fat.  I'm not like people who can work their fats when they wear tight clothes.  I hate the way I look most of the time.

Vaguely remembers the actual date when I started jogging.  But I remember it was the time when my bro got dump by his gf (best days of my life) and we were driven to lose weight that time.  It was some time around mid of 2010.  This post shows that after 3 months, I lost 10kg, well roughly. Click here.

Sunday 25/03/2012

Here's what happen yesterday.

It's been almost a month that I am smartphoneless.  It's so hard cause I love taking photos and stuff but unable to do so.  It's killing me.  Le sad.  I think I called the service centre like a couple of times but they told me that they try to rush it so I can get it this Thursday.  Not happy.  I wanted to get a new phone but no budget for it.  I'm sort of saving money for an apartment.

Slept around midnight the night before, woke up 3am for my 5am run.  16.09km scheduled run.  My sides were still in pain but I refuse to give up.  Ran with Daniel.  Just the two (2) of us.  Everyone else couldn't make it.  Unable to maintain my pace, stomach ache and the strain near my left rib were too great, tried to pick up the pace but I end up finishing it in more than 2 hours.  That's for going too fast the day before.  I had an 8.05km run on Saturday and that went great.  I did a 6:11 mins pace for that.  *slow clapping at self.

Daniel's Surprise Birthday 2012

I always get nervous when I plan a surprise party for him.

1. The where, when and how - cause he can smell it coming from miles away.  Especially when it comes from me.
2. Present - there's a limitation to what I can get for him.
3. I sometimes run out of ideas what to write on the cake.

But, with the help from my circle of friends, I manage to pull something.

Past birthday surprise - 2008 (gift post), 2009, 2010, 2011 (I just realize I didn't blog post this but there's photos in the album lol).  Weee :)

This year, I initially wanted to just treat him for dinner somewhere he never been and just got him a present, and with the ongoing training for my first full marathon this year, I feel kind of tired to plan one but in the end decided to just go with it.  Discuss it with my chee mui.  Plan to do it at Seven Sea Restaurant but went to that place too often recently.  Sakuya suggested we do at Fullhouse Lifestyle Store & Cafe at Suria Sabah, besides, he haven't been there yet.  *chuckled.

Arkham Horror Boardgame

On a Wednesday night?

More info at BoardGameGeek, here.

We started a bit late, like around 7:30pm.  And this game takes few hours to finish.  But there's only 3 of us.  Le sad.

I played this game before like few years ago but my memory failed me.  Vaguely remembers everything.  To play this game, we need a big table.  1 long table not enough.  We need 2.  Unless you already have a big table then this is not necessary.

1000th post after 2 months of silence...

I'm sorry for the lack of update.  Lets just say I'm less motivated to blog these days.  I'm losing my mojo.  Or mebbe the Full Marathon training since end of last year made me so tired that everytime I got home, I got so lil time to do things.  Okay, wait, wait a minute, I have time to do other things, just when it comes to blogging, my brain gets really tired.  But I'm back now.  And I'm gonna talk about boardgame.   Oh! I realize that if I turn off my computer when I sleep, I sleep better and I wake up early and feels energetic.  DAMN YOU energy sucking mechanism!  Stop sucking my energy when I sleep.  Yes, it took me this long to realize that.  Or mebbe I refuse to believe that le computer sucks energy :)

But, before we get to that.  I wanna say thank you to Sakuya for cooking Japanese curry rice for me yesterday for lunch.  I super <3 it!  It's delicious! :)  Oh, there's little rice there coz I'm minimizing rice intake.  Heck, I don't each rice that often.  I eat pasta though :)

Luk Luk Outing

This was suppose to be a random 3 8 outing but end up to be something else.  The initial plan was to do it at Tanamera, Lintas Square but that place has been close for renovation for weeks.  Decided to move it to Lido Square for Luk Luk King!

Definitely a good turn out.

Price range from RM1, RM1.20, RM1.50 and RM2 depending on the stick color.  And four (4) dips to choose from.

It's 2012 and I've been neglecting my blog

I actually was gonna blog about my year end trip with the CSPians but I got lazy and busy all at the same time. I will probably find some time to blog about the most shortest post first and finish it with that long year end trip post.

Please bare with me.

The month of December

It's nearly year end.  What have I been up to?

Well for starters, 1st week of December wait, more like 2nd week of December on the 10th and 11th to be exact was HobbyCon 2011 5th year anniversary.  And since I have a costume, which I had planned and wore during halloween, might as well right?  I joined the All Star March as Evil McDonald (McMassy).  The difference in face paint.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - final

21st November 2011 (Monday)

Last day in Penang.  I don't wanna go home!  Not yet!  I haven't finish exploring this place yet nouuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ *cries.  I was having a little big of regret for not impulse buying on some of the clothes which are on sale and the food, don't get me started, I wanted to eat a bunch of em.  Friend on the other hand regretted didn't buy more books lmao.  See, I say already.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 3

Woke up at 10pm, had about less than 3 hours of sleep, I guess I was nervous or I just have problem sleeping.  Did 30 push ups and prepared for a hot shower before 11pm, what?! NO WATER?!  WHY?! Omg, that's when I start panicking.  Went downstairs at slightly past 11pm to check what's going on.  There's a pipe burst and they're fixing it.  Only will be able to fix it in less than 2 hours time.  Oh lord, panic mode.  But owner told me I could shower at the toilet downstairs but no hot water.  Okay.jpg.  Went  back up to my room and took my toiletries and towel and went back down.  Before that, I smsed the guys to inform them about it.  Found out later that they just woke up.  Somebody set the alarm clock wrongly *chuckled.

Left the hotel in a cab to the jetty terminal.  Free shuttle bus to Jerejak Jetty every 30 mins.  Just in time.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 2

19th Nov 2011 (Saturday)

Rise and shine!  It's day 2.  I woke up as early as 5am.  Don't ask.  Was lying around with my eyes wide open till around 6 and did a little push ups and got ready by 7am.  

Went to check out New World Park (the place where we had our dinner the night before) if it's open but it's not open yet. It's not even 9am yet.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 1

I don't know where to start.

I'll make this part by part coz it's gonna be long XD

I contemplate in doing this run but decided to do it and since I manage to drag 2 more people to go with me, we went to register and start booking. I did the flight booking and accommodation for myself and 2 guy friends but couldn't find nearest to the event location. It was my first trip to Penang, I've been wanting to visit but never had the chance to.  My friend been bugging me to book it early (like 6 months early) but I only manage to do it in September, a bit late but it's ok.  Cut the story short I'm gonna start with flying there on the 18th Nov 2011 (Friday).

Been trying to add on when check in for Air Asia bookings but there was an upgrade to the Air Asia website a week before I did the web check-in that I couldn't manage my booking, I end up checking in without the add ons.  Oh well.  Lets just say that whole process of me arranging everything was a stressful one.  

I think it has been a struggle for me a month before the event, I got sick and injured my right leg and it's not healing properly coz I wasn't resting it properly.  Manage to fix it before race date but there's still some minor twitching, so decided to take it slow and don't overdo my running.  Cut down my speedwork and just did normal runs.  It was okay, I could have done better.  Anyways, back to  my flight to Penang on the 18th.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 + Effective Cure for Cough

Another less than a week before the race.  I'm excited and panicking at the same time.  With all the phail runs and leg injury every now and then, today at least I could finish a 10km run.  Last long run before the race.  Do not do anything stewped in between before the race Massy.  So who's going?  Buzz buzz me!  I hope to see you gais there!


I was checking my previous 10km records on my garmin connect and very please, even though it's very minor, I've improved my pace.  So happy.

Halloween Dinner at Party Play 2011

So one day me and the girls (Jna and Sakuya) had this random request and decided to whatsapp Dino on 30th July 2011.

"Halloween party request XD"

And reminded him again a month before Halloween.  And on 29th October 2011, he had planned for a buffet dinner party at Party Play (event page, here) yay~  I think there were a lot of events and party going on the 29th, there was also a Halloween party at Cowboy Bar where L62 were playing (event page, here).

Now before we talk about the event, this is how my costume planning started.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Final

Yes yes, this is a delayed post.  Like way delayed. 

Actually the final was part 4 but since I sort of didn't add the photos of when I was back, so here goes.

Left the hotel in the morning, can just take the pick up to the airport.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 4

Day 4.

Woke up early again.  Had toast for breakfast with milo. After the Chiang Rai trip, this is what I realize.  I'm getting darker.  Can you see my stripey legs.

Went to Waroros Market to look for those pancakes but couldn't find it.  Instead mum and sis went and get some necklace and earrings.  After found what we were looking for, we took Tuk-Tuk to Thapea Gate, where Sunday Night Market was. 

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 3

Day 3: To Chiang Rai we go!

This trip is arranged by Infotopper.com.  The agent at The Plaza.  Most priced almost the same but this is cheaper.  :)  850 baht per person.  1 day trip.  From morning to night.

Sticker, but mine fall off after awhile.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 2

Day 2 at Chiang Mai.

I don't have trouble sleeping but I always wake up so early.  Way too early.  Everyday I wake up at around 4 or 5am.  I must be crazy.  Morning workout, push up and mountain climber, didn't wanna do any jumping jacks coz I scared I might wake people up with my jumping *rofl.

Breakfast at the hotel.  Self service.  Milo not kick enough and the butter somehow don't taste like the butter I usually have, something is wrong with my taste buds.  Oh yeah, did I mention this place has a lot of coffee stands?

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 1

A week of overdue blog post.  Been wanting to blog about it but I was busy with other stuff and didn't have time to do it.  Even when I have, I got a bit lazy coz the number of photos I took seems to drain me.  Overall I took like almost 700 photos in comparison to my parents and sis who also brought along their camera but didn't use it much.

Before my trip, I decided to get a new point and shoot camera kekeke.  I had 2 choice.  1 is a Lumix (I'm a big fan) and yet another Canon camera.  After researching and getting feedback from my "guru", Flannie, I decided to get the Canon.

Affordable and cute.  I did not want to bring my DSLR around coz I know there will be a lot of walking around and I do not want to strain myself by carrying that bulky camera.  Not unless it's a local trip hehe.

So last week for almost a week I went to Chiang Mai, Thailand with my parents and sis.  Since mum been wanting to go for years, dad decided to plan this trip.  There's no direct flight from Kota Kinabalu to Chiangmai so had to transit to Kuala Lumpur via Air Asia.  And you might think that air ticket is cheap?  Guess again, it cost more than RM1k.  And was estimating it to cost less than that.  It was a 6 days 5 nights trip (well more like 5 days 4 nights since we took the midnight flight last Friday).

The weekend update

Been meaning to update this but I've been bz being lazy.  Well maybe, not really, okay fine! Been playing Sims Social on facebook.  I need new puzzle game for DS! RAWR!

So I went to 1 Borneo to look for new running shoe with Daniel and Sakuya last Friday.  Bad idea since it's a holiday and parking full everywhere.  I end up parking at the roof top area which is at 4th or was it 5th floor?  And I got there around 1pm.  We went for lunch at Mary Brown. 

Moon Cake & Tang Lung Outing 2011

I don't usually do this but I sort of forgot about this till yesterday.  Last minute plan indeed.  And it's been raining at night lately.  The outing must go on!

Plan to meet up at 7:30pm but I had to drop by Servey Hypermart Likas for some lanterns.  Oh thank gawd for that, the only place I could still find some.  Bought a pack of 12 with candles and lighter.  Off I go to the beach to meet up with peeps.  So there was initially 6 of us there (while waiting for the others to arrive) around 8pm and it started pouring.

The weekend

Back to work after a week holiday.  This week has been great.  Still a bit tired but it's all worth it.

Sakuya's birthday on 4th September, me and Jna plan a surprise birthday party.  Actually we thought just treat her lunch or dinner but then again just go with a plan instead.  Initially we plan to do it on Sunday dinner at 7pm at Wojamama Japanese Restaurant since that's one of the place that we could think of but had to change to lunch at 1pm instead since she told us that her parents will treat us seafood dinner on Sunday night.  Haiyahhh haiyahhhh.  I reserved 15 seats on Saturday ehem before meeting with everyone for lunch hehe.  But lucky for facebook, phone number!  I'd called to change the time to 1pm after manage to drag Sakuya for lunch on Sunday hehe.  So smart. 

So last Saturday was Otafuse 2011.  I went there with some friends.  No involvement in this event but just to help my friend with her cosplay for 2 days.  I'll just cut it short by posting photos and a bit of description.

Hari Raya 2011

Wishing a Selamat Hari Raya 2011 and Happy Holidays peeps.

Been busy with Hari Raya preparation these past few days that I didn't get to wish everyone.  Anyways, had an open house on the 1st day and invited over 50 friends over.  Initially had a limit of 20-30 invites but mum said I could invite more yay~.  I actually think my house is a bit cramp with all the stuff lying or hanging around.  *roll eyes at dad.  This year, I did most of the prepping and cleaning with mum.  My eldest sis and bro in law didn't come back this year. 

Open house start at 11am till 5pm.  But guess what, I was too busy that I didn't get to take photo of the foods.  Great! Omg.  But, I get to take photos of peeps yay.

Mum wanted to resume her baju kurung shopping spree this week too.  Difference is, she's driving hehe.  Off we go I think at around before noon.  But guess what, Saturday and nearing to raya season, traffic jam.  We were at that stretch trying to get through the Kolombong traffic light for an hour.  Okay.jpg.

So while waiting, I decided to be vain.

Camwhore time!

Belated birthday present

Went for a buka puasa with some friends yesterday and got this from Nick and Jean.  Belated birthday present.

Wait, the wrapper is pink? Okay.jpg I don't seem to have a problem with that lol.

Finally haircut

It has been more than a year since I got my last haircut.  The last time I visit my hairdresser was around July last year.  I had short hair then.  Click here for post.  My hair then has been somewhat annoying.  I wanted to cut it short so many times but I decided to keep it long this time.

It turns so fugly I don't even wanna talk about it.  But sometimes it looks nice under the sun. 

 

Karaoke outing + surprise birthday party

I don't even know how to begin this post.  It was EPIC and it's GREAT!  Friends awesomeness level over 9000.  I can't express it in words how happy I am.  But before that, lemme get some sleep.

The plan to blog this early phailed.  I got really tired/sleepy and do that instead.  Anyways, lets start.  My birthday was on 11th August 2011.  I was waiting for my 4 packages.  3 arrived on Thursday.  Which consist of:

But before that, I got angpow from mum and dad in the morning hehe.

Being sick is not fun.

Not fun at all.  After a week of trying to recover on my own, bad idea, I finally gave in and visited the doctor.

of GLASSES and SHADES

Hello hello :D

I'm feeling good today.  So long to all the sickness that came last Monday.  No, I did not go to the doctor at all.  I was so sick for the last few days that I lost my voice.  I'm back to my normal health now.  Yay for me!  All I did was exercise, a bit of eating lotsa oily and spicy food during break fast and drink honey tea for the cough.  It works!  I was suppose to get some cough meds yesterday but I forgot all about it. 

Asia City Ramadhan Bazaar

Just like any other year, we have "Buka Puasa Outing".  That is so random.  The place is crowded as usual.  I can leave at 4pm but since I'll only be meeting friends around 5pm, decided to wait at the office till 4:30pm, thank gawd I'm not alone cause I don't have office key.  If everyone leaves at 4, I'd had to wait somewhere else.

Fasting month - Part 1

*deep thinking. 

So, my initial plan was to blog about my break fast fewd from day 1.  But I got slightly occupied with other stuff or more like being stuffed with delicious fewd since 1st August that I was too full to even exercise.  Actually I planned to run but that didn't quite work out the way I planned. 

But still manage to do some running/cycling/cardio.  Not as much as I want though.

I got sick since Monday.  It started with the sore throat, then moved on to flu, cough and slight fever.  How do I counter this?  By exercising.  No meds yet.  I manage to clear off the fever (it wasn't that bad), temporary cleared the flu and cough.  It was this sore throat that's bugging me.  But whenever I'm at office, it somehow got worst because of air conditioning or I think it's something else coz I either sneeze like no tomorrow (*exaggerating) or I couldn't at all.  Bummer.

Hello Sunday

Good Mor-zzz.

How are you people?  *looks outside the window.  Why issit to bright? What happen to this morning rain?  Gone so soon?  Anyways, lets talk about yesterday.  So yeah, I got yesterday planned out nicely in my head (I'd do this occasionally, I mean planning in my head, okay, I lied, it's all the time), I was gonna go to the tailor's, get a hair cut and go for some shopping at Suria Sabah.  Nope, that did not happen.  Instead, I skip the first 2 and went directly to Suria Sabah to check out the Shopaholic's Bazaar.

My next favorite Android Photography Apps.

Mind you, this is sort of the probably 7th or 8th photography related apps I tried.  I was previously hooked on Little Photo/FxCamera/retroCamera but in the end, this is my current favorite.  Eventhough it doesn't have a lot of effects like Little Photo does, I enjoyed using this one.  And Massy being Massy, I'd be snapping a lot of photos.  Like since I got this umm this week? Prolly 2-3 days ago.  I've snapped over 50 photos.  Yes, I am crazy.  But I've uploaded 11 only XP

Some of the photos I took.  I love the 70s effect.

Seaside Traveller's Inn

Long post is long...

I can't remember when was the initial plan date, but Pjal suggested we have a BBQ night at Seaside Traveller's Inn in Kinarut on 23rd July 2011 (Saturday) last 15th July 2011. Trying to recall if we had an initial discussion about this but my mind left me in a blank, must be the lack of sleep. Why did I wake up so early? I'm suppose to only go jog around the afternoon not the morning. I think I had a roughly 5 hours sleep. Damn you body clock!

It's not 24 million yet...

*troll.  I don't want a 24 million diamond ring but I would want some awesome gadgets, sekian, terima kasih.

I was feeling a bit bored today.  Actually I'm a bit tired but I didn't wanna sleep as early as before 9pm.  So, guess what I did?

11th Sutera Harbour 7k Sunset Run 2011

My 2nd time, check last year's post, here.

Registered early and got 1 size smaller compared to last year.  Shirt still a bit big for me.  But it's okay.  This year, the organizers closed the parking area at Magellan.  Resort to parking at Harbour City which is not bad also coz a lot of parking.  Though crossing the road freaks me out a bit coz it's one big road.  Thank gawd for the Blek Yeti as shield 8D

Shopping

I think I should shower first before I start this post.  Off I go.

Back after 20 mins.  Oh gawd, I need to put mask later.  I'm so tired.

VASSAL - the open-source boardgame engine

Apart of being hooked on social networking, I've started to be hooked on this thing called VASSAL (click here to re-direct).  So what is this?

Vassal is a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games and card games. Play live on the Internet or by email. Vassal runs on all platforms, and is free, open-source software.

A week before Sutera Harbour 7k Sunset Run

It's been awhile since I last hang out/meet with Amy.  She whatsapp me the other day for dinner.  And since I have plans for Killing Floor with bunch of people, decided to meet her up around 6:30pm.  I went there after work with Sakuya.  Both of us were hungry.  I think there were a number of new cafe/restaurant at Citymall but one in particular had made me curious for quite awhile.

We went to Mangen Mitu.  Located at the same row as Ceryn Hotel (ngam ka nama ni hotel?).  End of the world punya location.

Roadtrip to Pesta GATA Sipitang 2011

Last Sunday (3rd July 2011) we planned for a roadtrip to Pesta GATA Sipitang.  It's sort of considered my 2nd time there.  The last time I went there was few years ago.  On this trip, there was more than 10 of us while Lea and her siblings wait for us at Sipitang.
