Wehooo

It's only been 3 weeks

semalam saje nak ukur lilit badan sendiri

(since dah tak workout utk 1 minggu lebih) 
 

and 

guess what???

1.5 inches off hips, and 1 inch off the waist. 

I couldn't be more happier :)

Sick

I'm sick. Bad cough and on-off fever for the past whole week. Sungguh tak selesa *cough* *cough*! For that reason, I've not done any outdoor training/running (takde langsung ok) and i don't really feel like going to the gym, afraid that i might pengsan during the workout session dan takde sape nak tolong nanti hehe (plus i still can't get over the horrific-gym-halloween incident that i won't go into details here).

Tomorrow is the Genting Trailblazer 2010. Sadly I'm gonna miss all the excitements *sob* *sob*.  Takpe, takpe tahun depan ada lagi. The race pack is nice with lot of vouchers in it (thank lil bro for collecting the goodie-packs for us). Gonna post up the goodie's pic later. 

I guess tomorrow I'm gonna just lazing around at home. Hopefully by next week I'm fit enough to run again. Gosh, it's only 3 weeks left for my first PBHM. Adoi, sempat ke ni??? Ni karang ada plak yang tergolek kat atas bridge tu nanti *gulp*. To all my friends who're gonna get muddy tomorrow, have fun yaw!

till my next post, toodles!

Mizuno Wave Run 2010

I love running Mizuno Wave Run 2010. Love the route but not the last demonic hill. Oh man, bisa boleh terguling balik kat bawah dengan bukit tu. Gear pun dah tak tahu nak tukar gear mana haha. It was a good run for me, especially bila I finished 5 minutes ahead of Miss E wehooooooooo (Miss E sila pack running shoes for ur trip to Miri or else you'll be coming home looking like Garfield muahahaha) and managed to secure myself a limited finisher medal *double wohooooo*. Miss E lagi best, dia ingat semua orang dapat medal,tu yang dia slow abis haha nasib u cepat sikit babe, kalau tak putih mata je lah. Tapi yang tak syioksnya ada 2 water stations jer (km4 & km9). aduhaiiii, dah nak hujung-hujung lari pun dah tak keluar sweats dah. dehidrasi abis. I rasa for 11k run kena ada at least 3 ws. 2 memang tak cukup. Didn't stay long pasal banyak betul aktiviti yang sudah dirancang. So rasanya inilah last competitive run for the month coz niat nak bergumbira masa Genting Trailblazer terpaksa dilupakan. Next ialah PHM kut. Ohhh man, very the nervous!

Here's the official result of mine:

Time: 1:15:31.85

Placing
Category: 113/562
Gender: 195/788
Overall: 1483/2910

and result for Miss E

Ok till my next post, toodles!

10 10 10

Hooha or Nike? Oh i totally hate it when i have to choose which event to run. Both events was held on the very same morning of 101010. After a little conversations with Miss E, both of us registered for Nike instead of Hooha. Reason being, we need to run 10k as part of our PBHM training regime and we LOVE the running tees.

Oh i'm a little bit more confident running this event. Sebabnya, I've been running Newton and been actively running on the treadmill and religiously going for back to back less mills classes. Not everydaylah kan, tapi at least banyak lah sikit dari masa sebelum puasa. Jadi on 101010, bangun awal giler as usual untuk dapat parking dekat. Ceitttt, marahnya kat Pak RELA tu tak dibaginya masuk kat situ. Terpaksalah parking jauh giler, sia-sia datang awal sangat. Cukup warm-up cek pagi tu, from inside out haha.

It's a must for all runners to wear their Nike running tees. Tak pakai terus disqualified. Memang meriah tengok selautan pelari berbaju bright yellow ni. Tepat 7.15am, kami pun mula berlari. Why oh why? Kenapa 10k & 5k runners di flag-off kan serentak. Sangat huru - hara. I now 5k tu fun run, tapi biarlah lari secara berhemah. Ni dahlah inang si inang-inang, kejap kiri, kejap kanan, tetiba brek mengejut aduhaiiiiiiii pening den. Tapi nak wat camner terpaksa ku tempuhi juga.

This is my first time running this route. Mana pernah lari dalam city center. Tapi running in the city center ni agak panas sikitlah. Kesan rumah hijau lah katakan. The first 2k, i was doing great. Dekat-dekat Bukit Bintang, siap dapat sorakan dari mereka-mereka yang tengah nak berlari untuk HooHa. Terasa macam selebriti runners lah plak hehe. I don't know what did i do wrong, after 4km tiba-tiba dapat stomach cramp macam nak pengsan. Seriously tak boleh nak laju sikit. Oh man, i was damn frustrated. Baru ingat boleh buat record baru. Therefore the next 6k semua lari geli-geli jelah. Menikmati pemandangan KL. Tapi masa berlari kat AKLEH, aduhaiii boleh tercabut jugak kaki rasanya. Macam tak abis-abis panjangnya strecth tu. Tapi yang best, water station memang cukup, every 2km dan kat tempat yang sepatutnya. Thumb up for that. Oh ada lagi satu tempat yang tak best. Lari dalam tunnel yang ada banyak karbon monoksida. wohooooo, rasa nak terpengsan. panas, lemas semua ada. Kenapalah nak kena lari dalam tu? bisa aje depa ubah route tu kat atas ampang park. gile torture. Luckily pagi tu cuaca mendung-mendung best. tak macam newton. syukur. kalau tak sure dah berbirat-birat badan kena panahan UV.

Finally, berjaya menamatkan larian in 1hr 08mins 11secs. walawey, if only i boleh cepat sikit, macam ada harapan nak dapat sub 1hr. next time jelah kita cuba lagi. takde finisher medal. dapat ntah patung apakah namanya tu i tak tau. pisang pun dah abis. tapi SAKIT kaki sampai seminggu. kenapa? al-kisahnya, Miss E cadangkan pakai satu set Nike. From head to toe (inside out lagi hahaha). Kunun-kunun boleh dapat mystery giftlah kalau pakai macam tu. Itu yang kami buat, siap dengan kasut Nike yang bukan untuk running. Apalagi, gift tak dapat, SAKIT satu badan sampai seminggu. tulah dia nak bergaya sangat. Miss E, lepas ni kalau nak bergaya lu bergaya sorang-sorang. wa takmo buat dah.

Lari - Lari

Ohhh lupa plak, lepas berlari ada mini concert. adalah beberapa bands yang perfomed. Salah satunya ialah Estranged. Ok at first i'm excited sebab ada Andy. Tapi pleaselah, memang tak minat dah lepas ni. Ini orang sangat SOMBONG to the max. Mesti sebab dia rasa dia paling diingini ramai kut. Eee siap buat-buat muka tension ni. fans panggil buat derk jer. Ok kalau ada rupa tapi eksen macam nak mams bolehlah blah. orang pun tak hingin dengan lu yang tak appreciate fans langsung. Personally I rasa Rich paling ok dan baik. Huh, eksen ar selagi boleh!

ok, jom balik. maggi mee goreng dah panggil :)
(cuma dapat 6 bottles jer)

alright peeps, i think that is all for now. Until my next post, toodles :D


psst psst: kalau abiskan lari dalam 30mins, sure boleh g Hooha juga, suke tgk finisher medal dia. Congrats yang sempat lari back to back. u guys memang gempak!

Newton 12k 2010

Let me tell you this, participating in any running event two weeks after Raya is NOT a good idea at all especially when you have not been training/running for more than a month *sigh*. Lepas tu makan banyak pulak tak ingat-ingat jadi badan berat dengan jayanya. dan memburukkan lagi keadaan cuaca panas tak terkira dan route larian, ya ampun, bukit bukau yang memang tiada maaf. Ini ialah larian berbukit paling DAHSYAT dan KEJAM yang dilalui sepanjang penglibatan diriku dalam dunia larian ini. Seriously, damn tough. U guys can read ceritera kekejaman ammah hill ni kat sini atau sini, sini, sini, sini dan sini. Itu belum part tak cukup air lagi. Oii boleh pengsan babe. Nasib baik i lari for 12k, itu pun dah cukup buat aku tertempang sepanjang minggu. Itu yang paling dekat, kalau ada 3k atau 5k confirm lari yang tu hahaha For those who have completed their 25k run, thumbs up to you. You guys are definitely not human! haha kidding. Giler gempak lar korang ni, Tabik hormat 1, 2 :)

Ini juga kali pertama me and sister berlari bersama-sama dari awal sampai abis. Bak kata Miss E, susah senang bersama perghhhhh, ayat pancing tak tahan. Memandangkan memang dah tak boleh blah, jadi takdelah terkejar nak medal yang limited tu. Budget pun dah tak dapat nak jadi top 100. The last 2k memang torture giler nak mampos. Jalan segersang padang pasir memang berbirat belakang badan. Bila dah sampai fuhhhh lega to the max. Amazingly, kami berdua berjaya dapat medal yuhooooo. Resultnya ialah:

Me:
Rank : 66/232 (top 100 babe wehoooo!)
Split Time: 46:23.37
Gun Time:1:33:12.12
Chip Time:1:33:04.42

Miss E:
Rank : 67/232
Split Time: 46:24.35
Gun Time:1:33:12.62
Chip Time:1:33:03.69

Lepas lari tibalah acara yang dinanti-nanti, CAR Raya Potluck Party. Eventho start lambat sikit sebab menunggu semua selesai lari, the food fulamak banyak giler. dan sedap plak tu. Makan sampai tak ingat dunia. We brought Strawberry & Lychee Jelly. Ada nasi lemak sambal sotong, nasi goreng, serunding & banyak lagilah. Jadi begitulah al-kisah Newton Run. Best part makan & bergossip jer. Next run, Nike 101010. Ntah apa drama ar plak time ni. Till my next post, toodles!

p/s: tiada mineral yang berjaya dirembat :(

Cik Arina dah kawin!

*this post is loaded with absolutely-gorgeous pics. view at your own risk*

It's official! My beloved girlfriend is now M.A.R.R.I.E.D. The wedding was held just a week after raya in TERENGGANU! Bukan dekat babe. So, I took a flight to Terengganu on Thursday carrying most of the bride's hantaran. The wedding dress, shoe, kurta buttons & chocolate. Ish kalau i tak sampai, boleh terpengsan ini perempuan haha

Pre-Wedding

The event started off with small Majlis Tahlil on thursday night. Pheuww, lucky me i have brought extra baju kurung. Just a moment before tahlil started, Nanie arrived and of course kalau tak kepoh tak sah. I'm so happy that Nanie can make it to Terengganu, Arina.. hurm lagilah gembira tak terkata. That night we slept at 2am after selesai memakaikan henna to the bride. No pics as semua pun seksi giler hahaha.

Solemnization Day

Woke up very early as Miss Arina have to get ready for Majlis Khatam Qur'an. Make up artist not yet arrived but lucky us, we have our very own MUA in the house. Siapa lagi kalau bukan Madam Nanie kita.

make up for the majlis

while waiting for the majlis to start

arina reciting the surah

While Arina reciting her surah-surah, we were@kitchen menghiris daun pandan untuk bunga rampai.

Not so very long after that, we can hear somebody screaming our name out loud from the hall. Rupanya si Arina nak ambil gambar sama-sama. ceh, ingatkan apa tadi.

Selesai upacara Khatam, kenalah bersiap-siap untuk majlis nikah malam tu. While Arina is busy with make-up and what not for the event, kami pulak berhempas pulas menyiapkan hantaran. Masa inilah rasanya best gilers ada si Nanie merangkap tukang serba boleh kami ni.

The Reception

Nanie had to get back to KL that morning. So sad she couldn't stay for the reception. After sending her off to the airport, i decided to make a little detour around the garden. Was in deep shocked seeing there's still lot more fresh flowers in the box. So apalagi, last minute kami berhempas pulas menggubah centerpiece for each table dan berbekalkan apa-apa jer gelas yang available from the kitchen.

little fountain

At around 11am finally done with centerpiece. The weather is so scorching hot and was thinking to have a second shower before the reception begins. Alamak, rupanya ada cable failure kat mana ntah so the whole kampung takde elektrik. Thing is water supply to Arina's ialah dari tangki yang dijana oleh electric power. So takde elektrik maknanya takde air. warghhhhhhh! Kalau saya stress, Arina lagi tension tahap gaban. Kelam kabut terpaksa pergi hotel untuk bersiap. So i kena cari port untuk sejukkan badan. Dah sejuk baru boleh siap-siap. Kalau tak eee tak selesa. Nasib dah mandi pagi tu, dan nasib baik baju tak perlu gosok. Kalau tak menangis i di Kuala Terengganu you hehe. Tak lama lepas tu, Sera, Miss E and my brother sampai and we had our makan-makan together while waiting for the pengantin to arrive.

Finally, the arrival of the pengantin
