EVERYBODY'S INTO RUNNING.

It's sure is catching on.This running sport sure have everybody crazy. There seems to be a run almost every month or maybe weeks , somewhere, sometown. Most of my hiking friends have joined in the bandwagon too and I can see from their status on facebook every now and then. Some of my friends are really into it and even gone international. I mean they were willing to pay for their airfares overseas just to be part of the crowb. This is also a big business and someone is reaping from this vast response and interest. I know the tee shirts company does from the amount of events that is going on. The advertisment industry no doubt will benefit too.Some events like the Standard chartered, Brooks,King of the road  are a yearly afair. Sports wear company waste no time to introduce their products. In the past people are just contents with cotton tees, now their have fit dry and even compressed wears.Oh yes , there are all kinds of running shoes too.People are spoilt for choice these days.There are alots of brands they can choose from. That's big money.
I am in no position to comment why do people run, the way they do because I had only one running experience, and I will be doing another charity run, a short one only 6km just for the fun or it and because the promoters were students. You know just to oblige.
Well if you are into this sport, enjoy it.!

this is the one I had even before I was into running.

BECAUSE YOU ASKED..

Got a private message in my inbox on facebook yesterday from someone I knew a few years ago.She need my phone contact because she has something urgent to discuss with me. As soon as I gave her my number, my phone rang. It was her alright. Apparently she need a favour, she wants me to remove some of the old photos which I had taken of her from my blog. Since she her reasons was valid and legitimate I had to obliged her. She told me she is now in the film industry.Wow, that is good for her and I wished her every success. Some of the photos does not make her look good. You know image is important to a up and coming star. I spend sometime looking through some of my old blogs to removed those photos requested. It was not easy looking though the archive and our internet connection is not making it any easier. I deleted one blog site as it was already "dead". Better to have one which I can post regularly than maintaining so many right? Now I have one password lesser to remember.
Never knew my friend had  rose to a star so quickly. I was aware she did some commercial, but now a movie? It's so hard to believe. I can't wait to catch her movie soon.
All the best to you my friend and hope to catch up with you sometime to have a cup of tea. Oh yes, you owe me one autograph.

GOOD NEWS, SAD NEWS

In contrast with October which was my favourite month, November was not really a good month as there was alot of sad tidings which came with it.
Let me start of with the good Month first. It was a month where we had 3 birthdays in the family. My eldest son, who had his birthday a day after mine, followed by my grand daughter twenty days later. I was touched by a surprise birthday dinner arranged by my hiking/wall climbing friends. Since I did not show my birthday on my facebook, I was surprise they remember.
Now come the sad part, the month of November. I bumped into a hairdresser whom I had known for over two decades. After chating for a while, she informed me my personal hairdresser had passed due to canser.
I started to have my hair cut at this unisex saloon in Klang after I started working. This shop is very unique as they normally do not steal customers from each other and they know who are the regulars customers for which hair dresser.It is only if  your personal hairdressers are on leave you may choose others to attend to you. So over the years I had become very good friends to my hair dresser and when I received the news I felt very sad as if I had lost someone in the family.
A few days later I learnt of another death .This time the wife of a friend who happen to be the sister of a class mate of mine. She too succumb to canser. I just hope there will not be anymore sad news for the remaining days of November.
