TMBT Ultra Marathon 2012

With Daphne, my running partner (before the flag off)
One before the race begins

On my way to KM25
Yeay! I did it!
Another challenged conquered for this year. I have finally joined an Ultra Marathon that was held in Kundasang, Ranau. The category i signed up was 25KM but it was raised to 27KM but according to my GPS it was more than 28KM... I don't know which one to believe but I am just happy and relieved to cross the finish line. 

What I now understand about Ultra Marathons is that it is way different than regular marathons. Different in a sense that it is more challenging, not just physically but also to your mental state. A friend of mine told me prior to the race "kasi kuat saja mental kau... buli tu". At first i didnt really understand what she meant by that but now I understand hehe.

After the physical and mental torture last weekend, am i still interested in joining it next year? Hell yes. In fact, i probably will join the 50KM category.

It was a heated discussion that we had on facebook on religious issues. No, it wasn't between Christian and another religion but it was between Christian denominations. It all started by this boy, who at the end got a taste of his own medicine. As an Adventist, i respect other religion and also other Christian denominations. I don't go here and there proclaiming that i am in the right path and tell everyone to be an Adventist just because i believe i am in the right religion. Everyone, no matter in what Christian denomination they are, be it Catholic or protestants and also other religions (Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist) they all believe they are the right religion in the world but that doesnt give you the right to go condemning other people's belief. So yesterday, this is what he posted on his shout out box: He is a Catholic, so indirectly he is saying that other Christian denominations are FAKE. He claims that God gave him visions and voices to go and save the human race from ...

Kuching getaway (Day 1)

Image
I have been wanting to get away from the hectic work life and studies since may. So this is it. A domestic getaway to Kuching, Sarawak :) Our flight to Kuching was at 8am on AirAsia. We arrived early, at about 9:15am. 10 minutes early. The first thing we did was went to the hotel to confirm our reservation of room & have breakfast. We were really hungry by the time we reached the hotel. The area that we are staying didnt have that much of eateries nearby. The hotel's frontdesk lady said we have to walk 10-20 minutes to the nearest eatery. We were searching for Laksa, by the way.  After walking not 10, or 20.. But 30 minutes!!!! We found an eatery at Chinatown. It was a small coffee shop (i forgot the name) but it served kolo mee and sarawak laksa. So we had our breakfast there. After that we walked somemore and went to sarawak plaza, tun jugah and centrepoint. I was surprised that the malls here are not like the ones we have in KK. I could walk around each malls in less than 5 ...
