Kerja Gila Part Deux

As a preparation for the coming Syawal, to get ready for all the glorious food fest...i joined the Tri-krazee-thletes on their final Genting Ramadhan run.
If the previous week i went to take photos, this week i was there as a "walker".(Gile ke nak lari up Genting all the way?)
Thanks to Ngae, Jules and Jakull, we had about 6 support vehicles and even a POLICE ESCORT.
The total distance from Genting Sempah up to Genting is about 21km with a good short resting point in Gohtong Jaya, which is about 12km up the course. The next 9km from Gohtong to Genting is a very gruesome climb with even 45 degrees inclines. (Sempat survey dulu before the run)
We took off around 10 pm with the "slow turtles" getting a 15 minute head start. There were 6 of us walking while the odd 20 rest ran. I thought it was gonna be cold but about 1km onto the walk i was already shedding layers of clothes ( windbreaker daaa...) and by the 4th km, the runners were already taking over. At about 1130 we reached Goh Tong for a short teh tarik session. Since i havent ran or exercised in a while and the fact that im not crazy enough.. hee.. I skipped the second leg of the course which is the hardest and just hopped onto one of the support vehicles. It was definitely a fun new experience and next year i plan to do the Gohtong - Genting part pulak.
Thank you to all who waited, who accompanied and walked with me all the way. You guys are the best.

Sex and the city

Aku di hutan kuala woh 4 hari. Membawa kereta kecil merahku ala ala camel trophy dan aku rindukan komputer dan world wide web. Aku rindukan teknologi. Aku rindukan tv yang siarannya LEBIH dari 3 'channel'. Dan kini kerana rindu yang teramat sangat. Aku memblog dari telefon bimbit. Aaaaah the beauty of GPRS (3G tak ada di pekan tapah ni). Whoever invented it is a GENIUS! Oklah penatlah memaip macam ni. And i have to get back to the forest anyway. See u guys soon.

you know you're getting older ..

when u cant keep track of all the activity happening in Facebook, Friendster and such..

It was the wicked and wild wind

So the ipod nano strap that i ordered from ebay has finally arrived! Im so excited.. cant wait to have some fun in the sun. Its been such a long time since i last properly exercised.. or run.. or cycle for that matter.


Speaking about running, we were up in Genting last Friday, acting as support car for a group of runner friends who were running up Genting. Terasa begitu "profesional cameraman" gituh with tripods and all. Guys.. Night shots are non-existent without a good steady tripod, y'know?! . These days i feel like a soccer mom, but instead of ferying kids to soccer im ferying runners down hills, cyclists to starting lines, triathletes to race area.. and have even passed out drinks from a moving car, a la Le Tour de France gituh!.. although.Im not complaining....its just totally new and different. So Friday night, night photography was the agenda, although i wasnt really in the mood to photograph the runners .. secretly..i think i was wishing i was the one running.. heee..
The office PC is doing its "thing" again and this time i cant surf any external websites. And at home, no more free internet, which explains my lack of entries. Ini pon Thanks to C*lcom 3G, for if not i woulnt be able to indulge in my favourite past time that i call an obsession. Will be out station whole of next week and then back to home town for Raya.. 9 whole days of eating. Lookin forward to that!.
Just in case.. Selamat Hari Raya y'all.
Maaf Zahir Batin.

“Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.” - The Zahir-

Pink is the colour of passion

Whenever i go back to my mothers hometown, its like a transformation occurs and im no longer the 26 (ehem.. its still not october) year old that i am. Its like the surroundings allow me to act all silly and young. Like always, the trip back is always about food. Lots and lots of glorious fattening food. And I know these pictures may even seem obscene in this fasting month but its the things that i enjoyed during the last 3 days break. And not forgetting a quick round of tuju selipar with the younger cousins..oh my.. its been a while since ive screamed so much..





You know how during the months of Ramadhan, we are told to be patient with everything that happens and and how the devil, ghosts and demons are chained and locked away? and what remains of your body is you and your own sorry soul. So what if you end up not doing the right thing, or you are just not patient enough.. does that make you evil or just plain bad? or does that just mean you're human?

Selamat menjalani ibadah di bulan Ramadhan people.
