Sutera Harbour 7k Sunset Charity Run 2011

Huawei IDEOS X5

Remember my previous blog post about the smartphone?  So, I finally got it, but a latest version.  Not the one I wanted.  I got tempted with the extra function in the above mentioned phone.  Cost more but it's WORTH IT!  I went over budget though but it's alright cause I still can survive. 

Been downloading free apps from android market.  I currently have 4 types of camera apps installed hehe.  And in comparison with my "tarper", sakuya, I've taken more photos and uploaded more photos to facebook hehe.

Bro's early birthday dinner

What's with the weather today.  It's so hot it's crazy.  Since today is a holiday, everyone seems to be sleeping in.  Weird enough for me, I slept at 2am and woke up at 7am.  My body clock is screwed that it's not funny.  Anyways, I think in this crazy weather, not only you get sleepy, you also get a lot hungrier.  I had bread and egg for breakfast, in between had cornflakes, 4 slices of raw papaya, 1 banana, rempeyek, tom yam soup and dinner at Thai restaurant.  OMG!  I'm stuffed!

I also fell asleep while watching tv.  I moved to my room to stay awake by playing Picross 3D on DS (yes, 3rd time to complete).  Yes, I'm crazy.  I think I was on a massive complaining spree today.  Anyways, was gonna go to cardio workout tonight when mum told me we gonna celebrate my bro's birthday today with dinner at Nok Thai Restaurant at Damai.  I can't remember when was the last time we went there.  A year ago?  Maybe longer.  I miss this place. 

It's been awhile.

It was a random suggestion that we (my family) decided to have a steamboat "parteh" at home.  There's only 4 of us.  Cut down on food choices.

My sis made this, tom yam and chicken soup.

Plank at Tg. Aru Beach Outing

My knee has been paining for few days.  I have no idea what's wrong with it.  Taking running a bit slow these days.  And what irritates me is when the pain comes and goes as it pleases.  But then again, I sometimes can be really stubborn.  Anyways, my whole plan to jog in the morning yesterday failed.  I woke up feeling all crappy because of the knee pain.  Couch potato for the day.

Planned for a plank outing at 4pm at Beach 2 Tg. Aru but Sakuya called me to go early to swim at the beach.  Yay!  It's been awhile.  It was fun.  I just hope I don't get sunburn.  Cause it was hot.  On another note, I sort of almost forgot where Beach 2 is located, till I saw the signboard.  It took me 20 - 25 mins to get there from home.

Friend made these.  A bunny and miku.

Burger King MADNESS!

Okay maybe not madness, more like craving. 

See, I've been wanting to eat some Burger King burger/s since before the marathon.  But since I was scared that it might interfere with my performance and weight, I decided to wait after the event hehe. 

So, last nite, me and bunch of friends went to BK, Damai yay.  I met my mum otw out from the house with my sis there, I ask if she'd like to join me.  And she did, somehow it was funny coz she nearly fell trying to get from my mum's car to my car lol.  Slippery road is slippery, more like muddy.

It's Tuesday already?

So fast.

Last nite went dinner at Pizza hut with mum and the siblings.  It's because of this 50% off promotion thing.

But sad thing is, it doesn't apply on Public Holiday.

Borneo International Marathon 2011

The whole jogging/exercising idea a year ago was suppose to be just about losing some extra pounds which lead to my first half marathon this year.  It got me so excited that I had dreams about it.  Weird thing is my dreams were about missing it.  I wonder what was that about?  I've been training really hard to improve my running.  I, who, a year ago, could barely survive 1km now can survive over 20km.  Okeh, maybe with a lil bumps and bruises, not forgetting tons of blisters, I think I need a new shoe soon.  Heck I've been using this Adidas Adizero Boston for more than 4 months and apart from my 2 black toe, my foot keeps blistering.  Recommendations on a new shoe please.  I think I wanna get a hiking shoe too. 

Anyways, back to BIM 2011.  Had the race pack picked up on 28th April 2011. 

Lyne's early birthday

My eldest sis and her hubby is back for the holidays (well more like they went impulse buying on cheap air ticket) for few days.  She'll be going back to Langkawi tomorrow, I think, so we decided to treat her dinner and celebrate her birthday 3 days earlier.  Me and my 2nd sis been wanting to go for months, finally get to today.

Before that, last Friday, I wanted to blog about some Sushi Tei sushi but I only took 3 photos and I got a bit lazy, I'm gonna post some photos.  I think I'll go again for more sushi!

 Volcano Roll RM8, I actually saw someone raved about this

11th April 2011

I decided to skip Monday's workout and went for shopping with sis today.  Went to 1b.  She wanted to find some working clothes while I just wanna get more running attire.  I am a bit disappointed with the new adidas collection.  Why only men have greens?  I want greens!!!

Oh yeah, did I mention I finally got contacts?  Yes, as in contact lens.  Uh oh, degree went lower too.  Must be the carrots or the trees? Didn't have any problem poking my eye everyday.  It's kinda fun.  I don't need to be bothered by my glasses when I run/workout.  I though have problem with when at air-conditioned place, eyes get blur every now and then, somehow.

April 2011

*brush off spider webs.

I seem to have less things to blog lately.  I been wanting to but I got distracted with some other stuff. 

On another note, I have less than a month to "train" before BIM (Borneo International Marathon) in May.  Been running every Sunday at 4am these past few weeks. 

Bag it

I've "bag" my foot 3 times to prevent the bandage from getting wet. Thank gawd tomorrow I can remove it. YAY! My foot is feeling good somehow. I was running up the stairs earlier. So exciting. I wonder how it'll feel tomorrow when I remove that bandage. I won't say it's annoying but I had to cover it with a plastic bag and tape it before I could shower, and that will take quite a few minutes. A bit time consuming no?

The Twisted Ankle

Not running for a week really gets on my nerves. No, I'm not an addict, I just feel bored and fat at the same time that it's making me depress (in a way of putting it), so after that whole testimonial from Nex and Rendy last Monday about this sinsang at Likas, I decided to go this morning. Lets get this whole ankle thing over with. Well since I've been resting it and it's still not fully healed yet. I tried ice, hot water and put balm on my ankle and even convinced myself that it's healed.

Was suppose to go with Nex but I didn't wanted to wait so decided to ask my mum to send me there, dad sent me instead. Thanks Nex for the number and map.

Workout Progress

After 3 days of resting my leg.  I decided to jog today.  I though, manage to run roughly 3km.  Had to stop coz I feel so much straining on my left leg.  Gonna rest it again today and try to run again on Saturday.  At this point I'm not sure if I would be able to run on Sunday.  *sigh.  I hope I can.

Look at the map, loop.  This is Likas Jogging Track  Running 10 rounds of this could be so boring.  1 round is below 1km I think.

Greeno Dinner + Talk

Today went to Windbell Seafood Restaurant at Tg. Aru for dinner and health talk.

20th Feb 2011 [Sunday] - First 22km attempt

Instead of doing 13km run, I went and do the 22km run with a friend.  This week's training sux.  Not only my body was straining, I'm not sure if I had too much to eat on Saturday or the screwy sleeping hours or wutever the reason is, I'm very slow today.  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!  Am disappointed.

Met munyit/shiVER at 5am.  I was a bit late coz of stomach discomfort.  I don't know why I had to go poo poo every morning.  I'd tape 2 of my toes this week.  I think it's the way I run that I normally bust my toes when I'm done with my long run.

Garmin Forerunner 405CX watch

I've been going back and forth about a sport watch for months and finally decided to purchase em via Ebay on 14th Feb 2011 (personal Valentine's gift?).  Thank gawd the banks open on Monday.  Or I'll be delaying this purchase again. 

I've been timing myself with my handphone for months, to the extent of the phone almost died on me coz I run with it during a 17km heavy rain run.  Not funny.  I had to knock it few times to return it back to normal.  I nearly thought that I'm screwed if the phone died on me.  I though, did a backup for my contact list to another phone heheh.  Just in case.  We don't want the same thing to happen again now do we?

Pre Valentine's Day Dinner with Parents

This was a random plan between me and my sib----- I mean sis.  We decided to treat mum and dad for dinner at Sushi Tei.  Family dinner, it's been awhile, I think our last family dinner was when my eldest sis came back for holiday.

I've told my sis to reserve a table for 4 tonite few days before, well just in case, who knows it might be full.  And I was right, full house, quite a number of people reserved tables tonite and some were queuing.  We went early and arrived on time.  Seated and start to order.

Valentine's Day Promotion.

Jogging/Training Post

Since my blog has been quiet for 2 weeks *brush off spider webs and dusts, I've decided to post my current activities of the week I'm in, okay maybe combine the 2 weeks?  Zomg it's Valentine's Day tomorrow (*buat muka don't care).  Before that, me and sis gonna bring parents to eat some Japanese fewd tonite.  Yay!

Almost CNY update

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and Happy CNY!  Makan sampai kenyang! (dun overdo it).

I wanted to blog about Pra's Corner few weeks ago, but since I forgot to take photo of the place, I'll just post the fewd I had last 22nd Jan 2011.  Went there with 2 peeps.  Some of the fewd are pricey.  But some aren't.  Like garlic rice is RM3, Naan range from RM5 if I'm not mistaken.  Other dish is a bit pricey.  I can't remember how much though.
