  • Centro Klang Run 2014

    My 3rd Run for this year is the Centro Klang Run 2014 on 24th Aug 2014. Once again I would be able to run around Klang town reminiscing all the good old days.

    After my 4th day of training in my new toy, (review coming really really soon!) I’ve went and apply for my 3rd run event which is the centro run, I’ve manage to participate the last year event and thought it was pretty decent event.

    Of course the venue is in Klang ! my hometown, surely I would not miss this out. In addition, they also included a Tower run up their 31st floors (567  steps) however , that didn’t kinda attracts me since it bring shivers to my right knee cap ….. (it is still recovering from my last 2 years full marathon)

    Here are the info for the run below:-

  • Energizer Night Run 2014 Malaysia

    Yup that’s right folks, Energizer Night Run 2014 Malaysia is back on August 9 at Dataran Merdeka. Over the course of 4 years of this yearly event, I assume its pretty safe to said that the event has been picking up with better organizing?  Time will only tell..

    After did my 2nd day training in my new toy (yet to made any review over it), I just would like to share my 2nd running event that I would be participating. I’ve was pretty sceptical during the first event which was on 2010 and it went down spiral in 2011 when the organizing was terribad… literally BAD . Many runners complain about those two notorious event therefore made me avoid energizer night runs all the while.

    However this year  having reassured from their press release, I’m convinced that they would not repeat their past mistakes on poorly managing and organizing such a well worth global event. Sadly they didn’t include 21k which

    I was so hoping they did since as of right now, I would preferred to be doing half marathons in order for me to prepare for full marathons next year.

    As my ageing body takes its toll, I would prefer to fully utilize it to its fullest, and by god’s grace and strength I will definately accomplish my full marathon goal  (biggest scope was to partake in a triathlon event before hitting my prime age) Thank god my right knee cap is recovering at a steady pace since my end results of the last full marathon preparedness.

    Without much introduction, below are some of the details which I am able to collect over the internut.

  • Sundown Malaysia 2014 – Rebooting my running life

    After much of hibernation since my last half marathon (Brooks 2014), I hereby declare of my returning for “bas sebelas” activites.(bus eleven, malay saying for legs) hence rebooting my running life at Sundown Malaysia 2014.

    Over the past month or so, I’ve been weekly attending HCA Ultimate Frisbee . Well the itch for more outdoor activities just grew more within my body, soul and mind after a long slumber of being a couch potato since after my last marathon for this year with a resolution of quitting running and doing some gym workouts instead.

    Willingly to ditch my resolution for 2014, I’ve come to my understanding that it is futile to resist what you always enjoyed doing throughout the years (running for me) therefore my journey of running starts again on May 2014 onwards.

    So as a comeback, I’ve registered 3 night events for this year, probably maybe more in between depending on the open registration. 2 21k and 1 15k which will be reviewed in weeks to come. But one major event for the coming June would be the Sundown 2014 at Johor.

    Date: 21 Jun 2014
    Time: 8pm
    Venue: Educity Sports Complex, Nusajaya, Johor Bahru, Johor
    Categories & Distance: 12km and 21km

    Closing date: 19 May 2014

    Yup, that’s right…. Johor! I’m gonna take a flight there via KLIA 2 and partake in this 21k event and fly back the following day. Without much days left, I’ve started my training today.

    Well my first training started yesterday so considering my pace and mileage is totally bad. But overall as you can see I’ve left no choice to train for this 4 weeks (give and take 3 weeks with rest in between)

    Oh yea, purchase a new running shoe which will be coming very soon. So cannot wait for it since its my years of craving for this shoe *hint*hint* BOOST so stay tune for my trainings and other wacko stuff.

  • Brooks Half Marathon 2014

    Yup, that’s right folks… as for one of my 2014 resolution, it would be stopping myself into partaking any more running events. Over the period of 365 days in 2013, I’ve ran about 15 events, that’s like more than a run events per month.

    However due to my absence in the running scene for a month quite recently, well bad habit don’t die down eh? well I’ve enrolled once again for another half marathon organized by Brooks Malaysia.

    The event will be held at Bukit Jalil, the same place where the event took placed this year as well… speaking of Brooks 2013 event, it was poorly organized with a puny trophy cup instead of a proper medal. Overcrowded runner in small path ways, bad P.A system, insufficient water stations, lazy design of finisher-t , and etc… which kinda tarnish Brooks name, but they did jump the gun and blame it on the organizing team instead.

    2013 swag

    Brooks apologize for marathon 2013 –  http://brooksmalaysia.com/2013/03/29/brooks-half-marathon-2013-report/

    But let bygones be bygones, aside from the bad organizing this year, I’m hoping next year event would be far more decent due to its hefty price of RM 75!

    Route is just the same like this year as well.

    Anyway can’t complain much, will be doing this and maybe Penang Bridge run as well for 2014. So till then… peace out!

  • 2013?

    After many many moons of not updating my blog, I’ve came to a conclusion at the brink of closing it down, or leaving it to rot…

    but turn of events, I should start picking it up back where I’ve left off. Now, now let’s not get so mushy mushy and personal. It’s a blog for what I feel like sharing the stuff I take interest on and what I feel for the sake of sharing it… wait did I said it twice? oh well as long its not too personal…Who know’s things might get ugly, very ugly..

    Quite recently I’ve been doing 1/4, 1/2 marathons, yea yea I know, skinny boy is doing more skinny things…. but hey do you know I haz the beer belly!! even on my mis-adventures of running, that stubborn fat really keeps on hugging to my dearest ABS.

    Moving along, Been watching lot’s of movies recently but just plain lazy on review most of em. (just caught Frozen, Police Story 2013 and Secret Life of Walter Mitty) might as well  blog about that in the weeks to come.

    Had some ups and down in my personal life, didn’t manage to get to where I wanted it to be but still making effort in working things out. (come on, everyone does have their ups and down.)

    Recently daily for a past 2-3 months spending devoted time of mere 1 hour on some mild exercise. Probably I shall blog about that too after some result shown (fingers crossed). Plus some fundamental I’ve been staying faithfully.

    Getting into mobile gaming, testing a few freemium games and also stringing my MMO cravings on Final Fantasy XIV.

    All in all , for this year , the most precious thing that I’ve ever experienced is and without any regrets but a lesson to be is, “could it be your partner, a friend, pet bro or sis, they will eventually fail you. But never forget the closet thing is right under our nose which is, family. Thanks Mom for always been there for me, through thin or thick, sweet or sour, she is my dearest breath giver to my life over this mere 31 years. Really thank you form the bottom of my heart. No words can utterly explain how much gratitude I’ve owe her throughout the years.

    Okay enough ramblings, close of getting too personal already. Cheerios and looking forward for 2 0 1 4, till then peace out.!!!  (saving my stuff for future post)

  • First 42KM achieved

    completed my first full marathon run, on 18 November 2012 @ Penang Bridge. All I can say it was a superb experience.

    I must say it was really mind blown by my own feat (also thanks to my partner which supports me through out this journey for success)

  • Get Fit with Mel B


    With the most anticipated Move controller, comes the most looking forward game + exercise.

    Deep Silver, announced that they are going to be publishing the game in North America. The game is geared towards the PlayStation only due to its compatibility with the technology of the PlayStation Move and promises to get your buns in shape for the summer.


    So how’s this work you ask? Well based on your goals and preferences, Mel B will design a fitness program designed just for you, giving you maximum results in the areas your mostly interested in. Mel B will guide you through over 100 exercises, Aerobics, Fitness, and Cardio. Oh and just when you think your done, Mel B is going to get you eating healthy. That’s right she combines the workout with a nutritious meal to help you achieve your goals. This seems like a pretty cool idea to get on top of things, save money by not going to the gym, get a personal trainer that helps you work out and eat healthy? Seems like a win to me. Seems like Rob Dyer, Senior Vice President of Publisher Relations at Sony Computer Entertainment of America is pretty excited about this himself.
    Well this game might give me the reason to stop going to gym and perform workout at my comfort of my home. However I still needed to finish up my contract with Fitness First which is due this coming January 2011. Anyway enough of babbling, below is the trailer for the game.
