Running & Cycling.

 It has been quite a journey.  As I've started cycling now. But not that active at the moment, been quite busy and my bike is held hostage at Marshall's place. Ahahah. I'll normally cycle whenever, he cycles. I'm slow, very slow. I don't wanna hold anyone back just to wait for me, but Marshall is an exception :P Ahahah.

Here are some cycling photos with the cycling clowns. Rode thru Kesas up to Puchong and head back to Subang and cycled all the way to Sri Petaling and back to Subang. Was exhausting, no doubt. But a good experience! :)

 

My cycling sifuuuu :) 

Without him, the bicycle will not exist. Thanks love!

SUNDOWN MARATHON 2011

All of us flew to Singapore just to join this run. And I ran my first half marathon (21km). It was gruesome. A nightmare!! I did pretty bad, but managed to get the medal, since the cut off time were extended. Good thing! :) Paid about 70SGD for the run. Yikes! So yes, good thing, I managed to get a medal and bring back to my tanah air. Hehe.  Well, the traffic was crazy. And the cab drivers had no idea at all about the venue of the run! How crazy is that? I assumed it was a huge event. Guess not. 

I got there earlier, with a mission to collect our running bibs and goodie bags. But it was too late to head back to our hotel, so I stayed there. It was about 6 something, and my run only starts at 8pm. I even had to change into my running attire in the Toi Toi -___-"

But I guess, it wasn't that bad, because I had plenty of time to stretch and warm up before the run. Then it was 8pm, the run started, ran ran ran, paced myself behind a very old aged couple (Yes, they're slow, and I'm even slower) Hahah. And after awhile, I lost sight of them. Hahah. Then I paced, slowly, and I had stomach ache at the 3.5km mark. Shit! Was so painful, I decided to walk, and I really need a damn toilet! There wasn't any toi toi nearby sadly :( Walked and walked, about 6km mark, found a toi toi. Yeay! Then continued running, in pain again, spent more time in toi toi. Lol. And then again.

I ended up finishing my run in 4 damn hours. Ahahah. Tried to catch up after all the time wasted in the toi tois, but yeah, 4 hours, hahah really tried my best. Oh well. Told myself, I'll do better in the next run, and I did! :) In Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2011, read below. Hihi.

Overall, it was a nightmare actually to run, with stomach ache. Thanks to the spicy chee cheong fan I had in the morning. Lol. Lesson learnt! No spicy food before run!

It was my first time in Singapore, but didn't manage to explore enough, since most of us were having blisters, muscle aches and what not. But I still insisted to jalan-jalan, dragged Marshall along :) Only for awhile though. Was just at Marina Bay. Hahah.

STANDARD CHARTERED KL MARATHON 2011

Yeap, another 21km. 

I swear I remember swearing during the Sundown run, I'll never ever do another 21km. But I did. Hahah. I'm always cursing and swearing, saying what the hell was I thinking signing up for a 21km run?! Lol. 

Someone said to me, it's like giving birth, once you gave birth, the feeling is indescribable! Though it's so excruciating and you suffer like crazy throughout the journey, but when you see the child you gave birth to, you'd wanna have another one! :) So, it's the same feeling of accomplishing and reaching the finishing line. You battle with yourself both mentally & physically during the run. Your muscle aches, your feet is full of blisters, you're exhausted, but you keep on running! The most important thing is, you must be strong mentally, that's what keeps you going.

I did this in 3 hours 31 mins. 

Not that good though, and I know I can do better. We'll see when's my next!

A full marathon (42km) is definitely not anytime soon. A 21km is crazy enough for me. A 42km needs a lot more!

I have 12.3km Shape Night Run end of this month and Adidas King of The Road 16.8km run this October. Can't wait! :)

New love.

Behold.....

My new baby!

A road bike.

Looking sexy in black & white. (A little bit of blue & gray.)

A million thanks to my dearest boyfriend down here

. Without his excellent effort in searching high and low and also assembling all the parts together, I wouldn't be cycling right now.  Thanks love, it really means a lot to me! 

This boy, I tell you, when he loves something, he gets so passionate and so into it. Which is a really great thing. And which is one of the reasons why I love him :)

 The cycling clownssssss.

 I've only cycled with them twice.

We'd cycle through Kesas Highway.

Subang to Shah Alam then back to Subang, then all the way to Puchong, and then back to Subang.

Which is about 30km. 

That one also, for me is super tiring, uphills are really testing my endurance.

I gotta admit, I'm the lousiest roadie there is. So damn slow :( Hahahah. Just not quite there yet. 

But good thing, I have really good sports. Marshall, Charleston, Abang, the rest are all really supportive.

They even gave me a push! When I got too tired, and I'm always left behind. Lol! Thank youuuuu :') Really appreciate it. They keep telling me to paddle more, yes I tried my very best to paddle more, but at certain times, my legs just get too damn tired to paddle..... Hahah sucks! I shall try harder then ;)

 Wee hee!

This is how we get down yo. Lol.

Didn't mean to abandon.

Hello there.

I'm sorry, I suck in keeping this blog updated. Was so busy with finals and what nots.

Finals was good, I guess. There was only one subject that I thought did not go pretty well, but yea, praying for the best! Hopefully, will back to getting dean's list as I used to during my Diploma days. It was such a disappointment to get a "C" for the very first time in my Uni days. Really, really disappointing. That's how I missed my supposedly first dean's list for my first semester as a Degree student. But it was Business Law. I'm clearly not into sections, acts, cases, torts and any of those kinda things. I could've gotten a better grade for that subject, I admit, I did not do my very best that semester, hence the pretty low cgpa :'( 

Fret not, I feel that this latest semester, I've put my best effort (I think). Hoping for the best now! Results will be out 2nd July. Woo hoo....

Here are some pictures of my classmates that I spend most of my time with :)

This is Reeeeeeen.

She's a sweetheart. I can just click with her, and talk to her about almost everything.

She sells kerepek! Hahah cute eh? Seriously damn sedap I tell you. No, she did not make them, but her hometown happened to have the best kerepek! Hehe in Sepang.

From black pepper, BBQ to kerepek pedas basah. You'll not regret! Hee.

Ohh, on the far left, the one's looking away is actually my lecturer. I love her! She's so good with words, very educated of course, she knows what she wants, and she will get what she wants! She's so casual all the time, unlike other lecturers. Which is awesome! Heh. Her name is Dr. Amina Josetta Kayani :) Pretty name for a pretty lady like her. She studied in Perth and became a part-time tutor in Curtin Uni while she was getting her PhD. If I'm not mistaken. So yeah, she's def in my The Favourite Lecturers list! (I just created that, btw) Lol.

The one next to me is Michelle, from KK, a very outspoken girl :) then there's Reen (again.. Hahah), and Aini on the right. Aini is an extremely huge fan of Malaysia very own Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. I'm not kidding! She is. I've never met anyone that is so into a local celeb, and being all crazy about it. Like really die hard fan, I tell you! Lol.

Then there's Aza next to me. And Qila in the front :)

Then there's me, having my 3rd plate of home made Spaghetti a class mate of mine cooked. 

Yes, I eat a lot. No, I'm never on diet. And no I do not starve myself. 

I love food! I can eat, eat, and eat. No joke.

Who the?!

Hahahah sorry, a quite disturbing picture over here.

I had Mandarin as my 3rd language subject for my previous sem and had an assignment that involved role playing. I was an apek, zai basha. Selling sayur, ikan and ayam! Hehehe. Did it with Reen, she had the chance to become apek too ;) Yes, we're cool like that! 

 I have the video of our roleplay uploaded on Youtube..... Hahah but ofcourse it's set as private (or is it? Hmm.) Hahah it's funny, because we didn't know if we were pronouncing correct, with the right tones or not. I bet the if any Chinese watches it, they'll be cursing at us for ruining Mandarin. Lol. We're sorry :( We really tried our best. Hehehe.

 ***

So, at the moment. I'm doing a short course for a subject that I've left out from my 2nd semester. Operation Management. It's a gonna be a super packed month for me, as I have class almost everyday at 8.30am. But only for a month though. Sigh. It's okay faz, I can do thiss!! I'll be done by mid June :) Then will be free til September. Yeay!

I'd like to update more about my new baby.. 

Shall be a separated post. Too special to be shared in this stuffy post. Hehe.

I have never missed you this badly.

Through thick and thin, baby.

I'm always here for you!

Outdated pictures.

This picture below was taken during New Year's eve at Aunt Jenny's place :)

Was just a nice gathering with some very nice people.

This is Mr Soo with his long hair that he's been keeping for months.
Can't compete with mine honay! Sorry ;)

Somehow I'm still not happy the length of my hair now. So lambat nak panjanggg. I no like.

It used to be this shorrrtttt.

Hmm I seriously do not see the point of this post. Lol.

Okay lah. Bye!
