Newton Run - Actual Day

As expected, Newton Run 25km Challenge is very hilly. But i never expected it to be so so so challenging..

Basically i ran for an hour, and started walkin as my left knee and ankle are in pain.. I walked for an hour and the 3rd hour my calf muscles cramped and i had to walk and drag my legs for anothr 1 hour and 50 mins..

I used 3 hours and 50 minutes to finish 25km of ultra hilly roads.. No wonder they call it Newton Challenge, it's against gravity! Rested for the whole sunday before i get to continue my studies for my last paper of the year..

Although it was a bad timing, stil thank God that i finished it and managed to get a finisher T. And that is my last run of the year. This year has been a fantastic year with lots of running wit lots of frns.. But kinda regretted cos this year i dint train enuf.. Shall rest for a few months and continue running..

Y3S1 Semester Finals

Finally, I'm taking some time out to update my blog. Well, basically nothing much happened lately. Nothing much happened bcos there's no time to do any other things except for the grueling semester finals..

So, how's my finals? 3 done, 2 more to go.

The next paper? 25th Sept, saturday.. 1 more week to go and it's time for me to take a break!!

Stressful and sleepless month - August

My first post of the month, and it may well be the the last post. August has been a month packed with mid term tests and assignments. I'm glad that i'm stil alive and blogging about it.

Let's have a short review of the tests and assignments:

Control Engineering mid term test.
Unlike previous mid term tests which usually contribute 10 of the final 100 marks, this mid term was 2 hours long and carry 20/100 final marks.

Fluid Mechanics 2 mid term test
Ar... Not good, at least 50% of the test marks gone.

MED 2 Aftermarket Car Accessory Project final report and presentation
Our product: V-FEC or Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Casing, the live saving item. Haha. Unlike MED 1, less time and less effort was spent on this project but still very grateful and many thanks to all my groupmates for their effort.

MED 2 IEEE Project
Designing of rubbish harvester. 5/100 of final marks.

Fluid CFD Project
Using GAMBIT and FLUENT software to simulate the fluid flow in pipe, laminar flow and turbulent flow. A project where we spent 5 hours to vomit out 60 pages of report, once again kudos to my groupmates and many thanks to others who helped, especially Wang The PRO. Hahaha.

Econs assignments
Sap sap sui (my part). The assignment which we finish the earliest.

Matlab Test -> Matlab Assignment
It was a test which later converted to assignment. It was one of my happiest moments in this month!

MOM assignment
To be discussed on wednesday.

After all the tests and assignments, it's time to take a break and to prepare for the coming finals. God bless me and all the other MEs.

Men's Health Run 2010 - 12.3km

My 1st 12.3km of the year.

My 2nd Men's Health Run, the 1st was last year's (click).

My 3rd night run, the 1st was MH 2009, the 2nd was Energizer Run.

My 4th run of the year, after Energizer Run, SCKLIM and Siemens Run.

My time for this year's Men's Health 12.3km run is 1 hour 24 min but my target was 1 hour 15 min, so i'm off target.. Haih.. But stil, glad that i finished without much injury, although i hurt my left knee and my right thigh muscles cramped. Haha...

The goodies bags were good!!! Very very good, plz hv a look:

Alrite, lazy to elaborate any longer.. As always,

SHAKELINGAM!!!™ and HOOYAH!!!

Siemens Run 2010

My 1st ever Siemens Run.

My 3rd run of the year, after Energizer Run and SCKLIM.

My 2nd run of the year which i was late and started from the very very very back of the racing pack.

My 2nd run of the year which i came unprepared, without proper training and without proper warm up before the run.

Overall, it was a good run, i did not struggle while running although i did burp throughout the run (thanks to nasi lemak @ Mali Corner). My time is slightly better than SCKLIM, 1 hour 5 minutes. Although is not a very good time, i'm still satisfied as i did not train at all.. Haha..

Will i join Siemens Run 2011?

The answer is YES! It was well organised, the free gifts were decent and the registration fee was quite cheap, it's only RM20.. Surely i will join again..

Some of the free gifts:
finisher medal(not mine):

Unpredictable week...

What an eventful week with many spontaneous ideas, trips and meals.. I must say that it had been a good week although bad things do happen in between, i'm glad that i have nothing to regret.

I found one very suitable term to describe my past week, FIFA World Cup 2010. The reason is, many unexpected things happened. I could not predict the score, the winner, just as i could not predict the things happened in this week.

Anyway, wishing everyone all the best and may God bless u always..

Make friends, not enemy. :)
