(Many Thanks to TeyET for the pixs)


Shih Ming got 1st place in the ladies veteran and the surprised 5th place is Siok Leng

As for me i did an hour as most of the time i was walking due to the tireness and stiff muscles on my thigh and calf in view of the PACM track meet last night.

Met Lee, Yap, Shih Ming and Siok leng at Bkt Aman 6.45am, at 6.50pm Maryann and Leslie have yet to arrive, we walk to Dataran Merdeka.

As we walk toward Dataran, I ask is Aisin coming, siok leng said if there's coca cola she will be there , hahahhaahh we have a good laugh. 400meters to the starting point, Yap shouted Aisin... wah all of us were surprised, anyway she told us that she woke up at 6.40am and straight drove to dataran car park. A minute later Raymond Ng arrived and followed by MC.

7.25am all of us were at the starting line up, but Shih Ming was already at the front row, the race started at 7.35am by Dr. Jegathesan.

During the run, i saw Keef Fong and Bee Hong walking told them its 7km less by 1km to Camp 5.

The stiffness of my calf and thigh, had me difficult to run my normal race.

At the 5km mark saw Chooi Wan, and jog with her all the way back to the finishing line..
Saw Shih Ming and ask what's place she got, hmmm sheepishly she showed me her cert, its shows 1st... then i ask Siok Leng... she was silence for a moment than 'I got 5th place' .. Shih Ming said, Y you keep quite...

Yes, the orgnaiser provide coca cola as i tokk 2 cups then i saw aisin, straight walk to get the coca cola drinks not only 2 cups but more than that...

The organiser provide Ribena, Vitagen and Cornetto...

Its been a lucky day for Shih Ming, not only she got 1st place also won a lucky draw , a night stay at genting, whole Chooi Wan got a nite stay at JW marriot.

Time 10am when we left Dataran and head to Chinese Village for b'fast.
Met Siok Bee there

So next week, Dataran Merdeka its the Siemen's 10km run while the 2 Rays, Siok Bee and Michelle will be at Tasik Kenyir for the Triathlon.

Btw.. Shih Ming got admirers.... lah... they took pixs with her

Mulu - Short Desc by Leslie

Leslie and Maryann at LCCT


Hi..

Below is a short description by leslie on the Mulu adventure when he email to Siok Bee..

Hey SB

As you already know, Maryann hated the leeces but she didn’t get a single one coz she had pantyhose/mossi guard/Listerine all over her legs J Imagine a soldier with guns on both his hands and then switch you imagination to Maryann with 1 bottle of Listerine on her right and 1 bottle of mossiguard on the other hand – yep she went on a “combat” trip, and the leece is her enemy hahahaha

Plus she asked me to follow her at the back so I could keep a lookout for her enemies who could be slowly creeping up her legs J

Anyway, I was thoroughly amused throughout. She was at her best “combat the leeces mode” hahahah

On the trip, we both thought coming down the rocky/ladder part of Pinnacles was fun but the second part was painful on the knees/legs and dangerous (me and Maryann fell on our butts a couple of times and my toes got hurt also). This was the first time that I took longer to come down than going up so in a way it wasn’t fun coming down coz I was expecting an easier trip down.

Other than the trip down the pinnacles, I quote what I told Tony earlier “The most important thing was I thought you took care of all the necessities (food, accommodation, transport) well. Not only was it well taken care off but very "quality", esp the food. I love sitting at the bench there and take in all the cool breezy air in the company of our friends and talking all kinds of crap under the sun and cracking jokes. Basically chilling out. The toughness going down the Pinnacles is something we all probably hated but at the end of the day, it is another challenge in our life. A challenge which addresses many virtues - discipline, focus, patience, determination to complete an event and mental strength.

When I drove my car out this morning and maneuver the car through the jammed Brickfields road, I was telling myself "Damn, how I wish I could have just stayed back in Mulu for a long period or get out of KL". I don't miss KL at all. My thoughts were still in Camp 5/Mulu. I love Sarawak and Sabah more than ever now. Maybe I need to go to Mulu again to do some soul searching...I look forward to another trip to Sabah or Sarawak. Thanks all for contributing to a wonderful break for me and Maryann. And a BIG thank you to you Tony for everything that you did for us. Not easy to organize a trip with people from different backgrounds and characters but we all had one thing in common - the spirit of being adventurous. Now back to work in the steely coldness of KL”

There you go a “short” description of how I feel about the trip

Warm Regards, Leslie Yee

Penang Govt to take over bridge marathon

Penang Govt to take over bridge marathon
By PRISCILLA DIELENBERG
GEORGE TOWN: The state government is planning to take over the organising of the Penang Bridge Marathon this year following its cancellation by the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM).
State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Danny Law Heng Kiang said the state had sought permission from the LLM to hold the event.
"We have yet to fix the date as we need to liaise with the International Marathon Council first so that it won't clash with other events," he said Friday.
Malaysian Highway Authority director-general Datuk Mohamad Razali Othman had on May 11 announced that the run was cancelled due to financial and manpower constraints.
A week later, Law told reporters that Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said expressed her disappointment with the cancellation of the event, as it had been successful in attracting both local and foreign participants in past years.
Law was speaking at a press conference to announce the sponsorship of A Cultural Charity Night with Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas in conjunction with the governor's birthday.
He said E&O Penang and Hunza Properties (Penang) Sdn Bhd were each sponsoring RM300,000 for the event, organised by Taglink Group.
He said the state hoped to raise RM2mil in aid of the TYT Disaster Relief Fund, several charity organisations, the 6th International Dragon Boat Federation Club Crew World Championship (IDBF CCWC) to be held in the state from July 31 to Aug 4, and the Penang Bridge Marathon.
