30.8.2012

woke up early to complete everything
that wasn't completed the day before
it was a race against time
but luckily i manage to complete everything
way earlier than i expected
even have time to do some finishing touches
to the booklet and the casing
after completing the booklet
i prepared everything i need for the night
checking google map so to make sure i don't get lost
she was still working that day, her last day of work
she would really miss all the kids at work
actually wanted to pick her up from work
but due to the jam, ended up waiting for her in front of her house
but when i arrive she still haven't reach home
was quite nervous when i reach her house
as there is one part of the booklet that is still incomplete
which require her parent's help
but i don't want her to see it as it was a surprise gift
so getting the booklet into her house without her noticing was quite difficult
she came back soon after i reach her house
and i waited in the living room while she was preparing herself
manage to get her parents to help me do the finishing touches
which is just a simple message from her parents to her
but i think the message will meant a lot to her
as her parents really spend quite some effort to complete it
but she accidentally got a peek of the booklet while her parents was busy
thinking what to write, but it was just a small peek
spent quite a long time at her home as she need to take care of some minor stuff
paperwork to be prepared before she departs to penang for her studies
after everything was done, brought her to collect her handphone
which was sent in to the "hospital" for treatment as it was "sick"
she was very happy to get her phone back
as she is quite lonely without her own phone
not being able to stay in touch with her friends

after that it was all the way to our dinner location
it was a place full of memory for me
as i once celebrated my birthday over there with my friends
it was a long drive as it's still a foreign place to me
but we manage to get there safely
she recognised one of the place by the picture i took
previously when i was there with them
ate at chilli's for dinner
the food was not as good as the previous one i had
her choice of food was not so nice, mine was only so so
but the drinks was awesome. best milk shake ever.
after dinner, went to have a walk around the mall
took two polaroid pictures, one for her and one for me
thanks to shin dhee for the camera, i really appreciate it
after that went a little sight seeing at klang
where i handed her the booklet and she flipped it
from cover to cover for the very first time
and she really liked the booklet
i was really satisfied when she smile so happily
while flipping the booklet
looking through the content of the booklet
and telling me what she think about the booklet
but she expression when she was looking at the booklet
PRICELESS
but all good things do have to come to an end
sent her home after everything
and ended the long day at 1 am in the morning of 31.08.2012

despite all the happy things that happened
she was having her gastric pain throughout the whole day
i really appreciate her enduring the pain throughout the whole time out
it was really painful as it was clearly reflected in the facial expression
she could have demanded to go home but she did not
felt really bad when i heard her coughing and gagging from outside the toilet
thank you. thank you for the memory. thank you for the gift from australia.
thank you for everything up until now.

nike run

it was nike run yesterday
attended it with my friends
i had barely enough training for the run
which i find its very difficult to complete the run
nike run is help in kl this year
with the theme werunkl2012
the starting point was at jalan ampang
and the ending point was at padang merbok
the entire 10km route was ran at highway
which made us passed by a toll
the toll employees was cheering us on the entire way 
when we pass by the toll booth
the run was quite difficult as it involve a lot of uphill slope
and the slope is quite steep
and it command a lot of energy to conquer it

the nike run was quite successful
as it manage to gather 15 thousand runner
this year, other than the normal running vest,
there is also a finisher vest.
once you completed the run, you can collect the vest
and the ending point of the run
despite the sudden change of ending venue
from stadium to padang
the run went on smoothly

after the run
there is performance by many local artiste
such as miss nina, jj and ean and dance crews
it was quite happening
and many enjoyed the concert despite being tired and exhausted
from completing the run
the only downside of the run
which is the main complaint
is that the field was muddy from the long rain before the run
and the finishing line being in the middle of the field
cause the entire field to become a mud fest
with shoes getting stuck in the mud and making a HUGE mess of the shoe
some runner wore their new nike shoe and have no choice
but to sacrifice it and walk into the mud
as the finishing line and the finisher vest collection counter
is in the middle of the field

another complaint is that the shuttle bus 
despite being stated as 10 minute wait
did not arrive after a 20 minute wait
decided to catch a cab but after a long attempt
which we failed to hail a cab,
we decided to walk to the nearest lrt station which is
1.5km away from the place we are
after a long walk and arriving at klcc
which is where we park our car,
we met up with my friends and had dinner
before leaving for home,
stopped by the klcc park water fountain performance
it was beautiful and stunning
and off we go back home after finishing the show

how i did for the run
i manage to complete the run within the allocated time
i manage to obtain the finisher vest
however i did not go to the performance as i was having the cramps
on both my leg after the exhausting run
i do however enjoyed the run
outcome of the run the next day
i have lead pipes as my leg
my whole body aches but it felt great
and i think i hate stairs for today

accomplished a new achievement in life. :)

quick october

just one week into October
but yet so many things have happened
so a quick update of what have happened

send my baby, aka my PC
to the hospital for one day
and it came back better and faster
did not upgrade any parts of her
just a mere format of the hard disk
but she is now as good as she can be
maybe better than before
but i still love her just as much

bought a new badminton racket
and it was really good
can feel the difference between the new and old one
however my wrist strength is not enough
to fully utilize the racket
ended up hurting myself
so more wrist strength training for me
so i can use it without hurting myself

collected the Nike run running vest
its black with a lightning symbol in front
the collection venue is at the curve
and there was an event there to enable you
to customize your running vest
a small challenge of running 150m on a treadmill
within 1 minute and you will earn a badge
that you can attach to your running vest 
on the spot
the facilitator of the treadmill i ran
while attempting the challenge was very cute
she's quite small sized and quite bubbly
but i embarrassed myself in front of her because
my pants was too loose that it kept falling off
while i was busy running
the Nike run goody bag have
1 zalora voucher, 1 Nike 20% discount voucher
1 boost juice bar voucher, and a original Nike water bottle
this year there will also be a finisher jersey
but its on a first come first serve basis
another motivation for me to run faster

lastly, celebrated jessy's birthday
kwan yong brought us to this secretive location
to have quite authentic Korean food
the place itself is very Korean feeling
and the food is uniquely different
it was my first try at Korean food
i have nothing to compare against 
but i will say that it's really not bad
went to meeples for round 2
and had fun while making a lot of noises
happy birthday jessy!! :)

all the best to YOU for assignments, studies and test
