Results Are Out!

Results are out! Most of my ME coursemates already knew their results, but i'm still stuck at this page:

Haih.. Server down.. Can't check my results..

Never mind.. I'll just play RC to pass my time.. Hope i can log in to UTAR portal asap, if not i'm going 2 sleep!

Btw, congrats to all who get good results.. To those who got bad results, don't give up, try harder in the new sem..

Cheers :) All the best!

New Balance Pacesetters 15km 2009

Hey yo! Finally i'm free 2 sit down n blog about the run.. Haha..

Did i get a medal? Did i finish on time? Wat was my placing?

6.20am - I reach Lake Garden, found a place 2 park my car then went straight to the gather place.. I've 2 admit that the scenery, the atmosphere was totally different from yesterday's.. As i walk towards the gather place, i saw so many participants that look very professional.. Some very tall, some very dark skin (they run frequently?), some mat salleh (mat salleh always look very pro), some negro (no need to say la k? they make running seems so easy), some very muscular (from army?).. Haih.. It does affects my self confidence after i saw so many runners.. Never mind, i did wat i did, i trained wat i trained, let's just go ahead n run the race..

6.40am - I said a prayer, asking Lord Jesus to give me strength and protect me from any injuries during the run..

6.50am - I prayed again.. Maybe cos i'm kinda nervous..

7.02am - The race officially started and everyone cheers as they start the run.. I have to admit that during the start of the race, i was the one chasing them.. Basically, wat i did was trying to keep up the pace and run with them cos they were running quite fast..

7.25am - Run with their pace for 20minutes, starting to get a bit tired, then i saw a sign - 4km.. Yay! I ran 4km in 23 minutes, for me it's kinda good, i just have 2 run with this pace and i might run faster then 1 hour 30minutes for 15km..

7.37am - 6km sign appeared right in front of me.. Ok! Shakelingam! Keep up! Gambateh!

7.50am - I ran around 8km.. We were running up a hill (Bukit Tunku area), the road starting to become more difficult.. I was struggling as i ran up the hill, then i saw the 1st ever female runner that overtook me.. Wow! they started 15 minutes later then male runners but the 1 managed to run passed me.. Guess wat's written behind her vest!? POWERED BY JESUS! Inspirational!

8.17am - 12km gone! Woohoo! 3 more 3 more.. My muscles were burning and my pace became slower, but i kept running and praying..

8.37am - This is the time when i crossed the finish line.. Yes! I finished the race in 1 hour 35minutes, slightly better then the qualifying time of 1 hour 40minutes.. Thank God! I went to collect my most awaited medal and some goodies.. After having some free Milo and Yakult, i went home, took bath and went to church.. Hehe..

Well, i can conclude that this race was not easy.. Have to thank all the other runners that run faster then me as i kept chasing them and improve my pace.. Thank God for bringing me home safely without injuring myself and managed to get a medal.. Finally, thanks to all shakelingam frns who supported me.. Next race? KL marathon! Let us run together!

Nivea deodorant! Cos we were too smelly after running?

Trainin 4 New Balance Pacesetters 15km..

Just came back from Lake Garden, KL where i collected my vest, bib and timing chip..

Yup, i'm going for the 15km run.. My last run was 5months ago which i ran 42.195km in Singapore..

15km compared with 42km?
No match rite?
U mite think it's easy, but i don think so, cos 5months nv train n out of no where, comes 15km..

The qualifying time?
1 hour 40minutes..

Did i hv enuf trainin? Can i get a medal?
As u all know, i'm having my 3 weeks sem break.. For the past few days, all i did was eat, sleep (about 10hours a day), play Restaurant City (it's addictive).. Other den dat, it's all used 4 trainin..

Mon: 5.5km in 37minutes.
Wed: 8.0km in 53minutes.
Thurs: 4.0km in 23minutes.
Fri: 10.0km in 60minutes.

1 week of intensive training, i'm mentally n physically stronger now.. Besides that, i finally found my pace during yesterday's training, so pray that i can run with the pace and perhaps, run better n get a medal!

Gtg.. Hv 2 prepare stuff and go youth.. Haha..

Nex update: Trainin 4 New Balance 15km..

I Will Derive!

Ok! Lately i've been super bz n super stress bcos of final exam..

In fact, i jus had Math paper dis morning..

My target?

Jus 2 pass.. Yea.. Math used 2 b my strongest subject but at this stage of studies, and due to my own laziness, my math level dropped significantly..

Dis mornin's paper was kinda ok, i think i can pass, at least i tried my best..

As being said in my msn message:

"Do the best u can, leave the results to God."

Wat i can do is very limited, futhermore i always sleep in classes, dint do tutorial questions and only start studyin at the very last minute (3days 2 study math).. Aiks.. Kinda regret dat..

Wat i can do in those 3 days?

Very very limited.. Wat i did was 2 try my best n do watever i can.. Those can not b done, i'll jus pray n leave it 2 God.. Same goes 4 my results.. Cheers ;)

Now, i left 1 more paper - SOLID MECHANICS! I've about 40 hours 2 study 4 it (40hours include eat n sleep).. Haha.. I think i'll hv 2 end my post here n go study SOLID MECHANICS!

By the way, i found dis link from facebook.. It's kinda cool.. U should have a look!

Lastly, SHAKELINGAM!!!
