Run, Run, Run.

It supposed to be a nice morning and me enjoying myself on my bed, ignoring the fact that i'm having the final exams just in a week time. I slept for two hours and got up at 5something to prepare for the City Run 08'.

Our Sports Teacher wanted us to go for this run. It should be my forth athletic event of the year, after the school-level 8km marathon, school-level Penang Hill Hike, and the Walk for Life, organised by Tesco Malaysia. (I seriously not interested in athletics. Other sports please!!!)

As the title said, City Run. It has around 2,500 of participants while 30something of it were us, 4SA5 boys. The marathon started off at Prangin Mall, with us 4SA5 boys shouting towards our CAT CM, and he actually waved us back!!

The run wasn't as far as we've expected, although it stated that it's 10km. Or maybe we were way too talkative troughout the run, speaking to almost everyone, greeting ppl a good morning even the polices and other participants. Basically, the run went around like this, Prangin Mall-Penang Road-Jln Sultan Ahmad Shah-Jln Cantoment-CRC-Jln Macalister-Prangin Mall. Erh, something like that lar.

Free flow of Milo! Wee~~

The best part of the event was not the run. You can see the photo above, so many people sitting there just for one dream,to bring home the grand prize of the lucky draw, a motorcycle EX5 (I got no idea what model is it as i know nothing about motorcycle.) Whatever speech, prize giving ceremony... No people has interest on that except for that motorcycle. Yeah, that's the typical attitude of Penangites. Everyone stood up and walked away just the second Emcee announced the lucky numbers after knowing that they were not the lucky ones. NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE BOTHERS TO SEE WHO WON THAT GRAND PRIZE!!! Cheers, Penang kias.

By the way, i'm going to another three events after the exams.

Another city run, around Pulau Tikus this time, 9th of November 08. Jom lari!!

Penang Bridge International Marathon, the best ever marathon to be held in Penang. I'm going for just half-marathon (25km) as im ineligible for the full one. The registration time is 3am, so a movie at GSC, Queensbay Mall before the run perhaps? Anyone??

Lastly will be the famous one, the Penang Starwalk 08'. Another great event to spend time together with friends or family. Walk around, talk around, and bring home some prizes. That's nice. 14th Dec 08' for this event.


So everyone, do tell me if you're going for any of the above events, let's have fun there!!!

Lazy Sunday.


Handball?? Do you ever heard of this sport??I dont think it's famous in Malaysia. I got into this sport back in 2006, and eventually i join the Handball Club in CLHS.I've been active in this sport since then. Surprisingly, handball is included in Olympics. Remember to watch it!!! A good sport indeed.


I play quite a number of sports all these 16 years. And one of them was the KARATE-DO. Proudly, i would like to boast about, I'M A BLACK BELT HOLDER!!! haha. But what im frustrated is, i cant see this sport in Olympics where Malaysia actually has a very strong team in this sport, and Penang is a powerhouse and produces a lot of national players. Sobz.. Malaysia misses another chance of winning some medals.

Suffice to say, Squash becomes a popular sport in our nation since our Nicol David climbed up the World Number 1 spot. Unfortunately, this is another sport unavailable in Olympics. Boo. Hopes of winning a gold medal?? Now, it all depends on few of you, Lee Chong Wei, Josiah Ng and others.

By the way, today is someone's birthday, one big man, one famous guy, which i adore his way of public speaking very much.
It's him!! Happy 61st Birthday, Datuk Seri.

Opposition coalition's premier designate Anwar Ibrahim has a birthday wish - a big win in Permatang Pauh by-election to send a clear message to the nation that it was time to change Malaysia's political landscape.

Well, another Lazy Sunday for me. Although my test is around the corner, i cant really concentrate. Been reading blogs, catching the latest news and upsetting with personal stuff. And now the Olympics has officially started, i love sports so much, what to do??








P/S: Handball is in action at around 8.45pm while the Man Utd vs Portsmouth is around 9.55pm. Shit, what about my Physics and Chemistry?? I dont want to have that feeling as i did last friday. I hate Sundays. XD
