Saman by MPCR

Merdeka! Merdeka！

this morning im only slepy at 2.00am and wanted to wake up at 4.30am so that i can go to run my 20km Merdeka Run, but im wake up at 4.00am and i continue to sleep...

Sigh...

Today, our beloved Merdeka celebration was at Parliment square, where it was nearby my usual running gathering point, Bukit Aman Car Park.

my Cari Runners also running but they run shorter route which was double hill... 10km...

the victim post this saman, and later on, another cari runners post the whole process of making saman... so funny and interesting...

im keep laughing... too bad, i missed it...

Running is not just limited to run... Sometimes, we need something special, interesting to keep our passion burning!

Running

Since last week, i got my priority wrong or something that in mind which affecting my motivation for running...

Raining... also part of de-motivating factor for my running...
Merdeka... go Merdeka countdown at Genting and enjoy the fireworks also deter me from running... which im over-sleep today.

3 days holiday, im only ran for 10km double on Saturday morning.

Bukit Aman - Hartamas 20km 23 Aug 09

Like usual, today we start our 20km run at 5.30am.
most of us arrived before 5.30am and we all start the run sharp at 5.30am.

like usual, my starting is abit suffeing, muscle and engin is not warm enuogh, my muscles are feeling the pain, when im start to uphill at KTM, and it continue until bukit tunku uphill and the pain is gone after i downhill.

When we reach at the IRB jln duta, big cool wind is blowing! so cool and nice! we enjoyed it. i thinks this is the first time that wind is blowing in the early morning...

my run until Petronas station clock about 1hr 13mins, which i cut through some short cut.

Brought a drink at Petronas and rest for 5 minutes and we start to run back!

i feel something wired after try to running back. Something is wrong with me but i still can run quite comfortable, just waiting something to happen to me.

Perhaps im was way behind my running mates, i feel abit lost motivation and trying hard to keep the pace to catch up with them. Then the problem happened. my chest feel pain.

Breathing become hard and painful for me to continue to run. i walk and i feel better...
Walk and run, walk n run again, finally completed my walk run in 2hr 45 mins in total...

While my previous 20km run on Sunday, im running without problems which im managed to complete in 2hr 30mins...

Road ID

i come to know Road ID through Running Asia Forum.
visiting the Road ID website, reading the testimonials..
at the first place, im asking myself, do i really need it?

Some questions was asked to myself:
1. Do my running mates know my emergence contact?
Ans: they mostly know where do i park my car, should be able to get my hp.

2. What if during marathon / run / race where im running alone, others might not know me.
Ans: True.



The above is the sample wording that im key in.

Cost: USD 19.99 + shipping USD 2.49 = USD 22.48 @ RM3.5 = RM78.68

for a roughly RM80, i can run in less worried mood.

Outstation / Oversea marathons
i thinks i need to alert my running mates on the emergence contact when we all travelling outstation / oversea marathon.

Coming Oct, my friends and i will be traveling to Kota Kinabalu for Borneo marathon.
Coming Nov, my friends and i (Cari gang) will be traveling to Penang for Penang Bridge International Marathon.
Coming Dec, my friends and i (Runners Malaysia gang & Cari gang) will be traveling to Singapore for Standard Chartered Singapore marathon.

Beside that Road ID, there are some other products which emphasis on the safety of runners.
feel interested to get 1, but before that need to determine whether do i need it.

Big Budget Vs Small Budget

Big budget Vs Small Budget

Outcome:
Big budget small effect, small satisfaction
Small budget big impact, big satisfaction!

On 28 June 2009, i joined half marathon Standard Chartered KL Marathon(SCKLM).

today im able to comparing big budget SCKLM against with Pacesetter organized New Balance 15km run which was on 17 May 2009.



im just love the photo certificates!
anyways, my 1st ever photo certificate was GE 20km which was held on early January this year. my view was blocked by other people! so sad!

lucky now, i got full view of me on the certificate!

SCKLM, pls catch with pacesetter!

新加坡用網路行銷來「促婚」，3分鐘寡婦廣告引發瘋狂討論

五月初，新加坡那邊出了一則很特別的廣告，在電視上播 出後，引起極大的爭議，各位可以點上面參考一下。這則廣告是由新加坡國家級的「社區發展部」所拍攝（Ministry
of Community Development, Youth and Sports ）它是一則 「 支持婚姻」（pro-marriage
）的廣告，據說兩年前新加坡曾有一場市調，顯示許多適 婚的新加坡年輕人仍在待婚中，因為找不到完美對象。
這則「促婚影片」只有3分鐘又2秒：主角是一位印度裔太太，悼念著她剛死去的華裔老 公。她的悼詞和大家預期不同，她竟然當著全體親友描述著她老公在床上如何的「打鼾」和「放屁」，還當場模仿這些聲音！
如果老公還活著，應該會窘得想找一個洞鑽吧。
這部影片的開始，司儀說：「李太太（即那位寡婦），妳 應該有些話想說。」
這位太太上台了，全場靜默。
「今天，我不是要來讚美的，我不會說他有多好，因為很 多人都已經說了。今天我想和大家分享一些可能讓大家比較不自在的事。」
她說，「我想先從他在床上的表現說起。」
台下觀眾眼神都是問號，看著她 繼續說－－
「你們都有碰過，早上啟動汽車引擎啟不動的狀況嗎？」
當場她學了發動引擎的聲音，但聽起來根本就是打鼾聲。 這位寡婦學得嘴巴都歪了一邊了，這樣鼾了兩趟，然後幽幽的說：「well，大衛（她的老公）的打 鼾，完全像是這樣。」
大家開始笑了，鏡頭轉到她的女兒，表情顯然有點怪，大 概是不解為何媽媽要說這件事？有些老夫妻也一邊笑一邊微皺眉頭，這場合好像說這種事不太對吧？
「但，打鼾只是開始，」寡婦繼續說：「他，也會……放屁！」，好像好多人都有類似的經驗呢。「有些晚上， 他放屁放得太大聲，還會被自己驚醒！」
全場更是會意的笑了，她說，「大衛會驚慌的問，那……那是什麼聲音？」
「這時候我會說，親愛的，是隔壁的老狗在放屁啦，放心 繼續睡吧！」鏡頭轉到好幾個 太太笑得摀嘴，坐在旁邊的 老公面露尷尬。
台上的寡婦，此時語氣一轉。
「你會覺得，這很好笑是嗎？」她緩緩的說，「不過，當 大衛真的病得很重時，這些聲音至少讓我知道，我的大衛『仍然活著』。」
她轉頭望向大衛的遺照，哽咽了：「現在……我終於再也無法在睡前聽到這些聲音……。」
全場有如冰凝。
「 到生命的最後， 」鏡頭轉向這位寡婦孤單的身驅，看到她緩緩的說。
「 總是這些小小的事情，讓我們永遠記得。 」
（In the end, it ’ s these small things that you remember. ）
「是這些小小的不完美』，一起組成生命的『完美』。 」
（It ’ s these little imperfections that make them perfect for you. ）
鏡頭轉向她的兒子和女兒，兒子大約高中年紀，女兒是初 中年紀，他們看著台上的母親，專心聽著媽媽說話。
「所以我想告訴我的子女，有一天，你也能找到你們生命 中的伴侶，他們會像你爸爸在我眼中一樣『不完美得很美』。」
（So, to my beautiful children: One day, you too find yourself life
partners, who are as BEAUTIFULLY IMPERFECT as your father was to me. ）
她講完後，彷彿如釋重負，回到一個仍要照顧小孩的媽 媽，收起悲傷，堅強起來，擁抱她的小孩。觀禮的全都沒有痛哭失聲，竟都看著前方，那是一種吃驚，這些文字的重量竟然這麼重的飄在空中、壓在心裡。這三分鐘 的片也旋及走到尾聲，最後，這則廣告的結束詞是──「Family
」。
中文版，則是一個──「家」字。

這則極震撼的廣告片，是由一位來自馬來西亞女導演Yasmin Ahmad所拍攝。
在新加坡引發了很大的爭議。沒人是完美的，
所謂的真正的愛情就是接受你伴侶的不完美。

its might be old video, but it leave big impact to us.

RIP to Yasmin Ahmad

Shock

Yesterday, went back home quite late...
was given last minutes works...

work still ok, the worse thing was, it was raining... im totally can not run...

Back at home, shower and thinking of want to fry egg...

before this, my gas cooker was having some problems where, if i did not off my main head switch, my kitchen will have gas smell... tht's how my previous gas was running out so fast...

like usual, i turn the head of gas stone and fry egg. put on oil and egg.
while waiting it to be cook, im do other staff inside kitchen (my gas cooker was at outside)..

wired, i can smell heavy gas smell! i did not care about the smell and continue to cut my cucumber! Suddenly i head a "letup" sound from my window and fire is on the pan! OMG... what happened!

The fire was so big and within second it gone and the fire still burning down inside, i opened my cabinet door, where my gas cylinder located, i can see fire was on the cylinder head, where the head switch on and off of the cyclinder...

Immediately i took a jug of water (lucky im just re-fill my water) and pour to the cylinder head!
omg... fire still on... water cant kills the fire! im thinking i need to kill the fire fast, else the longer the fire burning on top of cyclinder head, it will blow! just like drama in Burning Flame II!

1 second 2 second, im try to use hand to off the switch, but im scared of burnning! then i saw my mopping cloths and immediately i use the cloth with some water on it, and tun off the swtich, and take out the head out.

finally no fire after the head switch was taken out. it was gas leak at the paip there. no wonder im always can smell gas whenever i did not off my head switch.

i was in shock for few minutes and just sit in front of TV enjoy watching the 8TV KOrean food TV drama... guess im too tired to be shock for long... went to sleep around 11.30pm...

i guess, for the coming few, in this few days i wont be do any cooking!!! its either dispose or get a mobile cooker!

It's was a grey event, Adidas King Of The Road when i was found out on Monday 5pm from my Cari Chinese Forum. my mood immediately dropped to deep valley.

i was running the 22km event on the same day!

let pray for Gary... R.I.P.

According to an eye-witness, he struggled, got up and walked off from the stretcher before he could be brought to the medical tent.

On the next day he was found dead in the stadium basement.

Big Question - What happened in between the moment when he walked away and the moment his body was found in the stadium basement?

If you have any information or seen Gary at the King of The Road event, please contact Krishnath at 017-6625587 or email krishnath_87@yahoo.com / krishnath_87@hotmail.com.
