Batik Fun Walk .. 2010

so as promised ... we joined another Fun Walk this year ... this time the theme is Batik .. as you can find in my previous post ... http://nonvespa.blogspot.com/2010/11/batik-fun-walk.html .. this Batik Fun Walk just involved a 3.9k walk ... the event started and finished at Seri Pacific Hotel ... so the very early in the morning we already at the hotel settling our registration ..

what interesting with this fun walk ? all participants can come with their most creative batik attire and if they are dare enough to wear it and walk 3.9k .. all participants got a batik sarong upon registration ... after registration the event started with a warm-up session "choreographed" by Cikgu Linda Jasmin ... so all the participants already sweating way before they started their walking session ..

after the warm-up session .. all the participants were flagged off by Khairi Jamaluddin ... actually not many joining this fun walk ... don't know why .. maybe lack of promotion, due to festive season (hari raya haji) or peoples lazy to join axtivity like this ... and on the same day got another Fun Walk nearby at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa ... it's FREE ... i think this the another reason why the crowd is quite small ...

mr Khairi with his son ...

Mr. MCs of the day .. Mr. Azrul si Warung Kita and the Raja Lawak .. participants were presented with artists from AF after finished their walk ... among artists were Mila, Maulana and Daus ...

the route of the event brings all the walkers into the greenish and scenery of Bukit Tunku area ..

International Cross Country Genting 2010

at the first place I do not have any intention to join this race ... suddendly when I read Berita Harian (BH) "if you want to run at genting .. send email to BH" .. if lucky you might have a chance to compete in the race .. for FREE ... yeah for FREE ... you can read my post on this opportunity http://nonvespa.blogspot.com/2010/09/genting-trailblazer-2010.html ...

so maybe it my lucky month ... on 08 October 2010 .. I received this email ...

Dear Mohd Rashidi Bin Yusuf,

Congratulation on winning yourself an entry to run the Cross Country of Genting Trailblazer.Kindly fill up the form below and send it back to us before 13 October 2010.You can fax it to us at 03-2333 6350 or email to us your registration form at trailblazer@genting.comPresent your Identification Card during the registration and collection of goodie bag on the event day.

Thank you!
Genting Trailblazer

so without any further hesitation ... I replied to the email mentioned that I would like to participate in the race ... actually there were 2 races ... one is Cross Country on 30/10/10 and the other one is Trailblazer 31/10/10 .. Cross Country which have participated was a solo event (12K, 8K and 6K) .. mean while Trailblazer is a mixed team (14K) ... so I went for the farthest .. 12K ...

this is my first race in Genting and also my first trip there ... what bother me most wether my 1.3 car can climb the road up to genting awana ... this because the event started at Awana Genting .. so finally my car managed to climb to the top of Genting ... I even saw Kancil can over took my car ...

we (bring along my loyal supporters) went day one day earlier .. the race flagged on Saturday for Cross Country ... so better we go there one day earlier and have enough rest before the rest .. luckily for all runners during the briefing on Friday .. there was rain like dogs and cats ... so all runners must have on their mind what to expect on the race day itself ... the weather at Genting quite chilly with the rain ...

so come to the race day ... the weather was nice and the sun shined all over awana genting ... the race was flagged off at football field ... a short walk from the hotel ... the reporting time was from 7.00 - 8.00 am ... so I went there around 7.30am after finished my simple breakfast ... so went to the football field and met other runners from Chap Ayam .. many familiar faces at the race ... many runners also ran Trailblazer on Sunday .. so the Cross Country only for warm-up ...

after warm-up with instructors from Fitness First ... the race flagged off at 8.30am ... men open category was the first to flagged off followed by other category 8K and 6K ... at the beginning the track was quite nice ... all runners will go down the hill and needed to run around the awana hotel before headed to the golf course .... after the golf course than all runners will enter the hardest part of the race .. the HILL ...

one runner said .. if you go down ... the very sure you need to climb up .. it the very truly true ... after the golf course and go down the hill ... the hardest part patiently waiting there for you ... "climb climb .. climb the hill" ... for the 12K category all the runners have to go thru the same route twice ... that means twice climbed the hill ...

what event the hurdle I faced in this race .. it was a new experience ... I hope can come back for next year race ... I managed to clocked 1:59:45 ... (15 second from the cut off time for the 12K category ^_^) ... for me this race even harder and tough then running 21K or marathon ... it push you to the limit ...

Next race: CICM Responsible Care Run at Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil .. as usual c u there .. ADIOS

RON 97 up 5 sen ? Betulkah ini ...

According to the Sun ... minyak naik lagi ... betulkah ? ? ? betul la agaknya .. kalau naik selalunya cepat turunnya aje lambat .. kadang-kadang tak ada nya turun ... sesetengah orang tak terasa sangat kalau setakat 5 sen .. tapi bagi kebanyakkan rakyat .. berapa sen sekali pun akan membebankan ... harap-harap ada penjelasan jitu dari pihak berwajib ..

Paling terasa akibat kenaikan harga minyak ialah pada 2008 ... tak bergerak meter minyak kalau setakat isi 10 hengget ... ramai jugak yang bertukar kepada gas dan tak kurang jugak yang kreatif buat sendiri tabung gas .. apa-apa pon kena sentiasa berjimat cermat la ... macam-macam boleh jadi skrg ni ...

[Kenaikan harga petrol kepada RM2.70 seliter dan diesel kepada RM2.58 seliter merupakan peningkatan sebanyak 40 peratus dan 63 peratus berbanding harga sebelumnya.] -kenaikan pada 2008

Mizuno Wave Run 2010

among winners ..

selamat pengantin baru ^_^

happy runners ...

my favorite part .. MILO free ...

Run Fat Boy Run .. once again this weekend ... enjoyed my sunday morning with running activity ... after registered online month ago ... this week on 171010 I ran Mizuno Run held at UPM ... went there took my running bib and my number ... the event was held at Kompleks Sukan UPM .. if you exit through Lembah Silikon Exit than Komplek Sukan ... just around the corner ... this run started at 715 am ... women category ... followed by men category .. flagged off at 7.25 am ..

i believe if the organiser stated that the race will be started at 7.00 am than our obligation as a runner to be there as early that we could ... this because I could still see many runners walking in into the sport complex when the men category already begun ... maybe hard to find parking that close to the starting point ... lucky for me because arrived there early ... rode my motorbike early in the morning and park outside of the complex .. due to the "abang security" not allowing me to go inside ^_^

quite long time since last time I ran a distance more than 10K .. when ? .. i can't remember lorr .. so MIZUNO RUN will be the warm up race after hibernate for one month due to fasting month ... so back to the race .. for men category it was flagged off at 7:25 am ... first hurdle for all runners was the first hill in front of the sport complex ... for average runners this truly really a big hurdle .. ohh one more thing the weather was great .... and the scenery surrounding UPM also marvelous ... for those intended to join this race next year ... my advise is watch out for the "hill attack" ...

because this race was held in university ... so you can find students and students related things while you were running ... one thing that attracted me most was the "pokok asam" in one section of the road ... so any body "mengidam" or heard that somebody is "mengidam" for buah asam ... last resort can go and find at UPM ... bu must with the permission from the security first ...

overall I enjoyed this race ... you can mingle around .. talks to friends .. drinks fresh cold MILO (my favorite) ... and another reason ... change to sweat from head to toe ... ^_^

next race : GENTING TRAILBLAZER (GENTING) .. so c u there ..

10! 10! 10! Fun Run

runners from Nike City 10K Run ..

the GREEN Army ...

flagged of at 8.20 am ..

for souvenir ,..

si cilik ...

at the gantry ...

so what happen on 10.10.10 ... noticed everybody everywhere busy with their own agenda ... wedding, engagement, new baby, ... you name it ... me as usual "run fat boy run" ... but this time just for fun ... FUN RUN held at Lot 10 ... all back to 10 ... 10.10.10 ... at Lot 10 .. started at 8.20 am ... with distance of 5.5K .. I'm not sure whether it really 5.5K ... felt it quite short ...

heard a lot running event was organised in conjunction with 10.10.10 ... on the same day ... Nike City 10K was also held .. flagged of at KLCC .. this event received lots of response from runners all over the city ... you can see the GREEN ARMY conquering all the road in KL .. the same event was also held in Singapore ...

heard from other fellow runner that there will be a road closure due to all the running event ... so to be safe ... let us support the public transport ... so I took monorail to Lot 10 ... so not only me because i can see many other runners that also used the same medium of transportation .. ^_^ even one guy with a sarong .. also joining the fun run ...

before the event started ... all the runner have the opportunity to give support to the runners that joined the nike 10K race .. they used the same route but different time ... also met my friends that also joining this race .. so I'm not alone ...

like I said earlier this is a fun run ... so I really have fun .. all runners also consider lucky because we can conquer the road that normally jam with traffics .. run with camera in my hand try to capture any interesting moments ... lucky me it only 5K ... so next race will be Mizuno Run at UPM ... 10K only ...

Tun Mahathir the Musical ...

signing autograph session .. erra and wan tempawan ..

Tun Mahathir and Siti Hasmah ..

pic with the main actors ..

smile ...

bz entertain the crowds ..

thank for the support ...

went to see teater muzikal Tun Mahathir last Friday ... this was my third theater in Istana Budaya ... so what interesting about this theater ? .. this theater originally going into action from 24 sept. to 4 oct. 2010 .. due to overwhelming response .. it will be extended until 9 october 2010 .. among big name in this musical are Zizan Nin, Erra Fazira, Esma Daniel, Dato' Jalaluddin Hassan, Misha Omar, Ghauhd (the "I spend" guy), Wan Tempawan and Zaibo together will all other talented casts ...

So .. once again what interesting about this Musical ? one big reason because its all about our Che Det aka Malaysia's 4th Prime Minister .. stories of achievements about Che Det .. the show is about his determination and spirit towards this country nevertheless what "peoples" out there really dislike him ...

so now back to the show .. at the beginning of the show .. there is small technical problem ... mic problem .. overall I really enjoyed the show .. the show actually was divided into there segments .. that why we have three actors to play all the three roles ... Adik Mohd Shafeiq as Che Det during kid .. Zizan Nin as a teenager and Esma Daniel who plays as a more matured and serious Che Det ...

first and second part of the show was fill with humorous and laughter ... so worth of RM seeing this Musical ... because this is a musical theater so it full of songs in line with all the segments ..

so if you want my recommendation ... just go for it ... still have time until 9 oct. to watch the show .. all the story about Che Det in one night ...
