WARRIOR MADNESS

This is the last installment of the warrior series. Indeed it was madness, lots of water obstacles
I was waiting for someone to show up, but she never did. I had promise her I will walk with her all the way till the finishing line.Looks like I never got the chance to do even that. Oh well. something are never meant to be I guess. Anyway here are some photos I manage to capture from this morning's activity.

ALONE AGAIN(NATURALLY)



Nice attempt, but I still like  the original is better.


                                          The original version below:


FLASH LIGHT

just loved this song.
When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And In the dark I found, I stop and I won’t fly
And I sing along, I sing along, then I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Can’t stop my heart when you shinin’ in my eyes
I can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light








I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not the afraid when the rain won't stop
Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Can’t stop my heart when you shinin’ in my eyes
Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight

You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light light light, you're my flash light light light You're my flash light light light light light ohhh
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Can’t stop my heart when you shinin’ in my eyes (shinin in my eyes)
Can’t lie, it’s a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight (you're my flashlight)
You're gettin’ me, gettin’ me through the night
Cause you're my flash light
You're my flash light, you're my flash light
You're my flash light light light
You're my flash light light light
You're my flashlight

NOT A GOOD TIME FOR RUNS.

Ever since the haze hit Malaysia, a lot of race was cancelled. I was suppose to go for my first ever half marathon run(21km) .Since I missed the last standard chartered run last year and at the coaxing of my hiking friend to go for it at least once in a life time I signed up for the standard chartered run, and was actually looking forward to run, but this was not to be and the race was cancelled due to the haze. But surprisingly the runners still went there on the race day early in the morning to show support. I together with some friends turned up a few hours later to collect our medal(something I am not proud of)
This was not the only race that got cancelled, there were others which I did not signed up. My next race was the BSN race,which I signed up for the first time and this too was cancelled due to the haze.
The announcement was made two days before the actual race day that the race had been cancelled and medals to be collected on the race day.So instead of race the event was like a carnival .Took our medals and posed for some photos for remembrance.
Puma night run was my next run and since then the haze had gone away. so the organiser deceided to carry on the race. You will think everything was fine, but this was not to be. As soon as the flag off for the first wave at 7.10pm it started to rain and since it was just drizzling, the race was allowed to carry on. But very soon there was a heavy down pour and I could see lightning and hear the thunder. We continued to run until the finishing line,but we were diverted via another route. we did not see the finishing arch banner. Later we learnt the organiser had aborted the run during the storm and  the arch had fallen on one of the runner. No wonder we were diverted to another route.But why did not the organiser informed the runners that the race was aborted and requested them to turn back? They should know better that it was dangerous to run in such a weather. Anyway thank God there was not major inccident and all runners were safe. There were no reports of anyone struck by lightning.



standard chartered: Oct 4 2015



BSN night run: Oct 24 2015

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIFU

Today is my bodycombat sifu Irene's birthday. Happy birthday girl, I wished you happiness and whatever your heart's desire will come true.

Knowing her was one of the best thing that happen to me. She is such a warm and friendly person and being around her is so much fun.
Everyone loves her. We had a pre birthday on 4th of July which happen to be America's independance day. Had lots of food and fun playing some crazy games.

MULU :THE PINNACLES

Ever since, I saw my friends' posting on the pinncles, mulu, I was attracted to it's beauty and wanted to make a trip there. The day finally came, and I was able to fullfilled my dream from April 4th till 7th, 2015.Thanks to my beloved body combat instrutor, Irene Ang, who made all the arrangement. We left Klia2 on Air asia to miri, and connected with mas wing, which is only half an hour flight.

From the airport we were pcked up by our guides to the mulu national park, where we stayed for a night. We had some activities like watching the bats and the next morning we did some cave exporing before we head to camp 5, which is near to the pinnacles.It was a long 9km hike to our camp site.

We started our hike at 6.00am. and reach the peak around 11.00am ,stayed for half an hour before making our way down. Make it around 4.10pm

Here are some of the photos of my trip.
