Ipoh Run 2July 2006

Who is joining: Me, Wan Lin, Siaw Hui, Chui Miew, Jason, Ah Fook and Sayli

Where: Ipoh

We departed to Ipoh on 10am. Wan Lin drove his car with Sayli, ah Fook and Jason. The other car was droven by Chui Miew and passengers were Siaw Hui and me. We reached Ipoh around 12:30pm. After unload our luggage at Sayli' hse at Simpang Pulai (Taman Lapangan Agenda), we heading to Ipoh town to have " Ya Choi Kai"....

But somehow when we reached there, the shop didn't open! End up we only simply have a lunch at a bakuteh soup. Then evil like me and chui miew, have yet satisfied with Bakuteh, we want to eat something only Ipoh have one. So we decided to go eat "Tau fu fa" at Ipoh town which is near by "Lau Wong Ya Choi Kai". They have two bean: normal yellow bean and black bean. The black bean has higher nutrien and more expensive. But the original yellow bean carry better taste. We had a very nice smooth and soft tau fu fa there....very satisfied!

After that, we went back to rest. While watching TV, our mind was thinking to have another round of Ipoh food. Becoz we havent try the egg custard and white coffee yet...so we faster get up everyone (some sleep, some watch TV) to go out for white coffee. Well, somehow Sayli not very familiar with location of that shop, so we were like exploring the road:) Somehow we managed to go there...

The white coffee really have diff taste, that was nicer than normal coffee. The egg custard also nice, but loose a bit to Tau fu fa lah. Most compliment was the roti bakar with two half boiled eggs on top of it, marverlous taste!! The bread with peanut better plus some sugar on it, also no bad.

The dinner also very good. More than 8 dishes only RM111 (good number). We had the dinner together with Say Li's family at restaurant somewhere near by their house.

Well, whole day eat and eat, really dun know how to run half marathon tomorrow:(

On the race day morning, wake up at 5am. Went out from house by 545am to the MBI.
Race started, i really cannot run as fast as normal ppl. I ran like a old grandmum like that. About 30min only ran 4km. The most of ppl already ran in front very far, left few slower runners at the back:(

Wah, i still can run with that pace until 10km. That is where i met the sweeper bus. They asked me to go into the bus, i said is okay, i want to run somemore. Then see them again at 12km. I asked them still got pick up ppl in front or not. They said yes. Then i decided to run somemore even i know my pace will getting slower. 2hrs already over, i only ran 14km. Pace is 8.6min/KM. That was terrible. Then i decided not run anymore, it was very discouraging. Once i got into the sweeper bus, i tried to cover my embrassment by talking to bus driver and some of officers. While i think is was sunset for me in Jogging sport.

Well, i saw Siaw Hui at 18km. I drop down from bus, and tried to run together with her. She told me her leg was very painful, but she wanted to continue and complete the race. I was look at her surprisingly, only i remember i was like her last time! I will finish the every race i took part ,no matter how slow m i, how no stamina m i, even my period was coming exactly when i was running for KL marathon! Refer the old Rho Wen, i found out i really change a lot. My running attitude really change, my running determination is no more there. I wish to gain back my stamina and convident!!

PJ Half Marathon

When: 18th June 2006
Where: Start and finishing at Kelana Jaya Stadium

Early morning 5am i picked up Phyllis and went to stadium. As i remember, i think i was no wake up so early for quite a long time liaw.

Started race at 6:30am. We ran along the old subang airport and turned to Federal highway. Make a u-turn at the Sunway Bridge.That was about 4km mark. Then we ran along the Federal and exit to old subang airport. Ran along the way to old Subang airport and make a u-turn at airport again. Then back to Stadium.

For me, due to lack of training, i was ran until make a u-turn at Subang airport and stop for pee at Petronas station. From there, i was very tire and timing already over 2hrs 15min. So i decided not to proceed the running anymore and just took a cab back to stadium....:( This was my 1st time to give up race before i reach finishing point....Before that, even lack of training, but i will still determined myself to go to the last.....but somehow this time maybe im getting older and determination no more strong like last time, i gave up easily...:(

I have to try to train hard for myself in order to prepare for Ipoh Half marathon.
May God bless me to strenthen my determination and stamina....

Puncak Alam Cycling

When: 28th May (Sunday)

Total Journey: 60km

Route description: The route is up and down, like camel back for about 20km at Puncak alam.

We started our cycling journey always from Kepong Menjalara Mobil petrol station. We cycled along Sungai Buloh road for about 20km will reach the junction of Puncak Alam. Turn left to Puncak Alam at the mark of 30km to Kuala Selangor. Then started the camel back cycling route. That was nice scenery accompany us, that ease our feeling even though we were cycling hard for the uphill:(

For me, i was lack of training in cycling for a month. So even short distance 60km, but enough to kill me. I always keep behind of group because i can't on par with the rest of cyclists:( I still keep a distance within 5km for the 1st 40km. But the last 20km when the way back to Kepong from Puncak Alam, i was dying.

We turned into Kota Damansara area and back to Kepong by LDP. I was quite far from group because i started lost all the energy. I think i was cycled at 15km/hr. By the time i reached the car park at Mobil, all the cyclist already gone home whereas i just reached there:(

That really kill me when no enough training/stamina. I was cycled under the hot sun and no energy somemore. The last 20km cycling just like 100km cycling journey for me. It was long journey and tired.

Really a bad experience for me.

After lunch and one round of rest, we rented bicycle to go around Fraser Hill. Suyuen and Jia jia were cycled with a kid bicycle, we were laugh at them. We cycled to Old Ye smoke house- quite europe style building which is a hotel and restaurant.

After tea break, we cycled again. This is i brought them to Jeliau Waterfall. There was 4km down from old ye smoke house. 4km all the way down to the waterfall....we were too happy to go all the way down...haha...:D
Somehow after visited the waterfall, we were in big trouble now.....we have to cycle all the up for 4km!! Most of them were pushing their bikes all the way 4km!! Haha, by the time we reached resort already 8pm!

Bacause too hungry, we were eating burger that bought by weilun 1st. Around 9pm, rain started and drizzling outside, we were eating steamboat inside the house...yammy yammy...:D

Perhentian Scuba Diving Trip 8-11Apr

Go to photo album for nice underwater stuff pictures:)





How to go there: You can choose either Bus"Mutiara" or " Mahligai" at Putra station with RM30.80 one way
Total travel time: 8hours

When we reached Teluk Dalam Perhentian, it was heavy rain. But it stop after 9am. We did our 1st dive at 9:30am to D'Lagoon with Floray Bay dive shop. This floray bay dive shop is a 5 star dive shop. It provide professional lead and service. So go with the price for their service also a bit higher.

But i change the dive shop after 1st dive. I went to my ex-dive shop where i took my open water license there-Rick-divers. Former name of Rick-divers is Stephant Dive shop. After check out their price, i can easily save 30%:P


Total 7 dives for this trip. I did really enjoy relax diving for 2 times per day and enjoy the lazy afternoon after dive. I think besides diving, the rest of my time was lazying at dive shop and chit chat with divers. Well, i will highly recommend divers to go there as the expenses is lower compared to else places. Of course accommodation and food will not be so good with this price. Beside low expenses, the dive side was fantastic also! The sugar wreck was highly recommended dive site. The wreck was huge and Wah!
