I was looking forward to today'climb at putrajaya challenge park . After a good and satisfying climb at camp 5 last Sunday I wanted to continuing to improve my climbing so I droved all the way to the climbing gym at putrajaya. When I reached there I saw a crane inside the gym my heart sank it doesn't look good at all. So I head over to the shop where I normally pay for the entrance fees. It was dark ,as I got nearer I noticed the door was closed There was a notice on the door saying the gym was closed for some works. Why did they not post it on their Facebook page. ? I quickly made a call to sifu to inform her about the closure. She was still at the office and was about to leave. She was just as disappointed as I was. Since there was some unfinished work to be done and the gym was closed she decided to continue with her work. As for me it was a long drive home. Half way it started to rain. I had wasted my time driving to and from the gym it was all for nothing. It makes me look like a fool . Now I have to wait till Sunday to climb I hope nothing will go wrong.

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.
