the race day

salam.

Managed 7^th placing with a personal best of 20minutes 22seconds, better by 20seconds from the previous best. Deep in my heart core, a top 5 placing would have been more satisfying. Nevertheless, I managed to accomplish my top ten target in this year Men’s Open Category for state level. And as a complement, my district won the overall group champion.

Thought of writing earlier this morning while I was still in the state of euphoria but was tied up. The writing would be of a different tune..

Anyway, the first lap I was at 5^th position but I ran out of gas and was overtaken by two younger runners. Am I making excuses for the not-so-good position I got? Well, it depends on how you look at things la, okay. Personally, I didn’t have enough practice, which was my mistakes, and age does play a factor here too. But looking on the bright side, after reflecting on the race, it could have been much worse. Now that the race is over, it’s normal to have the ‘ifs’. Guess that is a usual after-effect of something done, kan.. layankan saje.

Now I just feel like dozing off.. is that another after-effect too? : )

mantul lebeh la..

with the assistance of cik li + kak tom + pok nik = 20m 50s for a 4.8km run this morning. peh! slightly slower than Wednesday run of 20m 42s. we just have to wait till tomorrow to see the best of nkchai !

mantul lebeh la.. : )

the new istana negara @ white elephant

salam.

The new Istana Negara @ palace is in the midst of construction. I wonder what will happen to the old one once this new palace is ready. for all you might know, it will be demolished, and the prime land will be acquired by cronies of the ruling party, and tenders as well as contracts will be handed to cronies to build and build, doesn’t matter what they build, as long as the cronies and more importantly, the people with power and connection will make profit out of nothing. That’s my wild guess. We’ve just to wait to see whether what I forecast is true or otherwise.

Anyway, back to my discontentment. why the need to build a new palace, with a cost of over RM800 million, when it will only be used sparingly and occasionally, with nobody living there, when at the same time, the same amount of money can be used to build 11 500 low cost houses costing at approximately RM70 000 each, or 160 schools with the state of the art technology costing at RM5 million per unit? Which in your right frame of mind is more practical? It’s a rhetoric question, so don’t bother to answer, ok.

I don’t see the rationale of having another white elephant, except for making the few chosen ones richer. Sorry if I sound so pessimistic or negative but I just can’t help feeling cheated @ taken for a ride with the ruling party bullshits. I sincerely hope that the masses would be able to distinguish between real developments to pure shit.

Vox Populi Vox Dei!

The Assignment

i can still run..

salam.

pagi tadi gua pegi test lari, kiranya time trial la, 4.8 km. kelmarin gua dah test jugak, tapi belah petang dan timing dapat bikin 21minit 34saat. pagi tadi kena dengan warm up cukup, cuaca pagi, gua bikin 20 minit 42 saat. peh! kiranya gua boleh la lari lagi, ekk.. tapi penat nya, tuhan je la tau, orang2 tua lari ni.. masuk kilometer ketiga je memang rasa lembik tubuh dah, especially lower body, legs.. larian dua pusingan padang lapangan terbang kat sitiawan. first lap gua bikin 10m 10s, tapi second lap 10m 30s.. penat, beb! tapi puashati la, kan.. syukur.

race sabtu ni dan gua ada petang ni dan esuk lusa tinggal nak training. target gua nak lari sub 20minit, sebab race nanti kategori terbuka dan ramai kaum muda2, umur sekitar late twenties atau early thirties. jadi, kalau nak placing, mesti timing baik. hadiah untuk first ten.. pakcik pulak almost fifty, tapi sendiri mau ingat la, beb! sekarang ni nak fine tuned kan turbo dan nos system, jangan bagi sumbat.. kalau tak hari race nanti mau napas kot pusat, gua cakap lu.. lagi teruk napas kot jubor.. ha! semuga tidak terjadi demikian.. kalau tak, naya, beb!
