Weigh-in and Putrajaya Night Run

Firstly, congratulations to Team 1 for unofficially wining the 4th weigh-in. *clap*clap*.

We celebrated our win that by joining the Putrajaya Night Run that night. Our sifu (kiah) ran the half marathon and the rest of team + mess did the 7.7km race.

We were really hungry before the run and wanted to grab McD sebagai alas perut tetapi plan tergendala kerana kami tersesat ke Nilai on the way to Putrajaya (i personally think that it's a sign from God) and only reached there 15 minutes before the registration time. So, saya pun berlarilah (or berjalan) dgn perut yg sungguh lapar. The only thing that kept me going was the tought that there's a possibility that my thighs will be smaller after the race (which it did not). Nevertheless we had fun.

Would i join a 10km run after this?

Definitely not.

MALAKOFF RUN 20th December 2009

Late. But I get around to things eventually :p




MALAKOFF RUN.
The final run for 2009. Boy, we did quite a few this year eh. Not bad at all :)

Q: Run the bloody Malakoff or get our asses smacked big time by Kiah?
A (Team 1, in unison) : Give us Malakoff anytime!

So we didn’t make it on time to register for The ‘Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway’ run. Sob sob.

Heck! The Toblater Instructor, Kiah (TTI not TYI ok, though the resemblence is uncanny) was gonna be furious as she told us many times to do so before she left for Nepal.
Temah phoned yours truly and Esah and then quickly signed us all up for Malakoff Run instead.
7km for Esah and 12km for the rest. Hopefully TTI will be less angry – fingers crossed!

12km? Sigh. We can do it baby! – That was me talking to my well-fed belly. I’ve not been running/ exercising regularly nowadays. Urgghhhh. Things I do for you, Kiah/ TTI!

Dec 19- Driving back from Temerloh. Postcall and wet from playing netball with hospital staffs under the drizzling rain .(These people can be very kiasu when playing)
I phoned Temah only to hear - “Don’t forget Malakoff tomorrow!”
O: OMG I forgot, like seriously tak tipu, man! And my shoes are wet!
T: Jangan nak mengada. Blow dry your shoes, and if they’re still wet come tomorrow, you can always wear my spare shoes.
O: Hmmmmm…..Like can fit only. We’ll see la how.
What else could I say?

Dec 20 (Race day): Woke up early. The skies threatened, but the rain held off. Why la why. So I drove to the usual meet up place. Temah’s.
Esah sent in excessively sentimental text messages that morning telling us she doesn’t feel good lah, not ready to run 7k lah, will go to Kiara Park later and run by herself lah yada yada yada.
Did we buy that? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So off we go. As usual arriving pretty late.

Here are some pictures. I was not ‘properly’ attired. I totally forgot about the run, remember? Baju like want to go pasar basah only.
The blue shorts is my brother’s. I had no choice, either that or my mum’s kain batik. So shut up.



Prepping Esah up. Team spirit yo!




Her 1st 7km.Well done girl! Proud of you..




Team 1 with TTI, the beloved. Bergambar wajib.




TTI, all smiley. Phewwww. Imagine if we didn't register for Malakoff! IMAGINE!!!




Adik manis berposing di tiang. Teringin nak naik kuda.



The new face of Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. Cun eh.




Half of O-dah with TTI@ Kiah.




Esah with Temah. On our way to the car which was parked like another km away. And some cars were broken into. Thank God our ride was not one of them.




This is the last picture. My ass is getting bigger don't you all think? Urggghhh...next time u see me, my ass will shrink. Dunno if that's a good thing. Owhh what the hell.


We had a nice breakfast at the usual after-run lepak place, Village Park. Had some guilt-free meals while catching up/gossiping. Nice.
U should join us more often, Esah. 2010 ok!!

This is totally irrelevant but the Tempoyak at the hospital café is da bomb! I just discovered my love for tempoyak recently.

The year is coming to its end. My 2009 resolution is officially a kaput.
*&*@&!!))#*#$&@^^#$@#

Hopefully 2010 will be a better year. And SEVENTY HOW MANY EFFING MORE days to Bali? Shoot me dead now pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

O-DAH

Senah & the gang met The Duke

On 21st November 2009, Team 2 for the first time ever, managed to have full corum team activity. Senah and her babies :) went to Duk3 h1ghways for 5km Duk3thon. As our tshirts stated, we were one of the first to set on foot on the latest h1ghway in KL. Just for clarification, I am not the last to step off the h1ghway..thanks to the rest of the categories that started slightly after us "the normal male &female category". As I was walking / running, i can see a lot of senior citizen marath0ners (is there such a word?) running, leaving me behind..ahaha...its okay, they are senior citizen..they have been running ages ago.. i baru nak start..ahaha..alasan..

Half way through the journey, we saw some already nearing the finishing line, (alah..nih yg x dapat nak masok P3nang marathon, tuh yg rasa diri hebat, sebab all the greater runner, semua masok the p3nang one..)hahaha..saja dengki kan.

Nonetheless, we made it to the finishing line where Senah and Enon waited for Gayah and I to make it nearer to the finishing line, so that we can run together to it – just for the sake of photog moment..gila glam u..haha.malangnya, don’t think our pictures were taken..darn another group yg lagi gila glam in front of us.hhaahah..

We were excited because since now the run finished, we can finally take the ride on the hot air balloon (Gayah and I were looking forward to this)..Unfortunately, the hot air balloon dah kempis dah pun..dah siap lipat okay...I was so frustrated!!!!..i really want to ride on one..hmm.. where can i get to ride one?hmm..anyone?

p/s: I still believe that though Enon said she cannot run like true marathoners, I choose not to agree with that. She still have all her bask3tballer nature inside her..She can run ok!!! Darn..now left me alone..hish hish..itula..dulu masok cad3t jek..dah x fit. Ish!!! Well..let’s wait for M1r1..you never know suddenly hiking dlm hutan :-P bluerghh...tulis aje pun dah nak rasa muntah ok.

Long overdue post - Terry Fox Run 2009

I have been slacking, I know. I should have posted an entry on the above straightaway after the event but I did not have the luxury of time to do so. Then, came the BIG TRIP (in my life) to Nepal whereby I know, I owe you an entry (or entries) on that. Now that I am slowly starting back to my mundane and routine life in KL, things that were exciting back then do not excite me anymore (or rather, too many things happening after one another would make your mind so muddled and you don't know whether to start afresh or leave them as they are).

Do enjoy the pictures taken using my trusty ol' camera. It was a hot day that day and I'm proud that Esah completed her run/walk/run in full, with me tagging behind her all along. May this be a start to new things in you, Esah!

Team 2 Toblater in the media, AGAIN!!

Hello folks!
Somehow we did it, again!
It may not be in one of the country's top-selling newspapers
(like HM! which surprisingly has a wide range of loyal readers),
but to be on the sign-on page of the intranet in a Multinational Corporation,
it's still something to be proud joyful of, I think! ;D

 Enon, Meah & Senah, again!

 
This was during the Terry Fox Run on November 1st 2009. Our own camerawoman for the event is out of the country (Kiah, we miss you!), hence our pictures will only be uploaded once she's back from Nepal.
I'd love to tell the whole story, but without the pictures the story just wouldn't be complete.

So, let's all be patient and wait for Kiah to come back to us safely!

Team 2 Toblater in the local gazette!

As indicated in Senah's earlier entry, 
I now present to you the photographic evidence

Estee Lauder Companies presents: 

WALK FOR WORLD PINK

World without Breast Cancer

And our very own Toblaterians in 

HARIAN METRO

26th October 2009

And last but definitely not the least,

Enon, Senah and Meah! 

Now where did you want me to sign that autograph again? hehehe...

Team #2 Walks for World Pink

To show our support for breast cancer awareness (and as part of our strategy to lose the lbs), Team 2 joined the Walk for World Pink, one of the activities in the Estee Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign Malaysia 2009.

The 3.8km walk, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of self-breast examination, was held on the 3rd of October at the KL Tower base. Here's a pictorial account of our day...

All excited for our first team activity (sans Gayah though)

**

Walking to the base of the Tower, I had to give Me'ah an icy cold stare when she was about to queue for the shuttle van
* *

We were early (surprise surprise) as the organisers we're still setting-up
* *

I was bullied by my anak murid to send our things to the car...a 1+km run to and fro, in case anyone is wondering how far (literally & figuratively speaking) I manjakan those two
* *

Showing our support by painting our face with the pink ribbon
* *

Of course, I had to be the "exotic" one
* *

Ribbon of hope: The participants forming a ribbon before the walk. Team #2 is somewhere at the top of the formation
(Picture courtesy of Clove Two,The Star)
* *

This is how 'the human pink ribbon' looked like from the ground
* *

"There's Malaysia!": Just to prove we haven't forgotten all those hours of Geography lessons
* *

Menara KL to be illuminated in pink lights that night
* *

At the starting line: Waiting to be flagged off

* *

Err..err..1 km into the walk and they needed to be re-fuelled...
* *

...and didn't miss a photo op with Abg Polis' motorbike (to stretch the rest-time I'm sure)
* *

"We're almost there girls"
**

Enon & Me'ah had time to indulge in a bit of retail therapy after the walk as evidenced by the 2 huge pink bags hugged tightly by the 2 defendants
* *

By the end of the night, our face were glowing/shining (pls cross where applicable) with pride

By partcipating, we got a very nice World Pink T-shirt and a door gift of Estee Lauder Companies’ products worth RM100.

And the best gift of all?

Team #2 was featured in a local daily. I will post it once Me'ah scans the picture.
