SCKLM 2012

Took part in the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2012 last 2 Sundays(24/06/12) with my friend Han Qi.

We participated in the 10KM, Speed Category, whereby we had to finish the marathon in 75 minutes to qualify.

Slept at around 1am and woke up at 4am. Drove to Kelana Jaya to catch the free shuttle bus to Dataran Merdeka as driving all the way to the venue would be senseless since it would be super packed and there would be no place to park the car.

Me and my faithful running partner, Han Qi
Race took off at 6.30am. Really enjoyed the run as it felt like a tour around the KL city. I maintained my pace and was looking left and right just to enjoy the scenery.


Although I stay in Subang, but I seldom hangout at KL.

The weather was perfect too, making the run a wonderful experience.

I finished in 56 minutes and ranked 244 out of over 7000 people. Yes! So many people, and that number is only for that category.

Upon reaching the finish line, we were directed to a counter to collect some freebies. The freebies were in a bag and consisted of the "finisher medal", a piece of banana and a bottle of water.

Satisfied with my result, definitely could have done better, just need more practice.

I thought the event was well organised, we had no problem locating the places and there were friendly staffs placed around the event location to assist the participants.

Next up, McDonald Fun Run which is held this Sunday at the same venue :)

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, backstage people

Them Housemates

(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que
