One week ago, my mind went crazy... I joined a walkathon. Not only that, the event started at 6am in the morning. I went to sleep at around 4 hours before the event started. I managed to wake up at 5am and rushed to the event. It was like 20 minutes drive from my house.

Early Bird Free Gift
Finally I arrived there and was trapped in the parking for few minutes. I thought I was early but then I saw hundreds or thousands of people already arrived there. Then, I have to queue up to get my early bird gift. The queue was really crazy... It was sooooooooooo long!!! You can roughly see from the first picture.

I thought I won't be able to get it since there were so many people queuing up for it. Surprisingly, the organizer really did a good job. They did an extremely good estimation (or they didn't do at all...XD). Everybody managed to get one gift. The gift is a nice cup in a wooden box. Not long after I got my gift, the MC asked all the participants to do some warm-up before we started the walk. I didn't have enough time to put the gift into my car so I just carried it with me.

When "walk" turned into "run"...
It was really a walkathon when the race just started. However it turned into marathon not long after the MC announced that we will be able to get special medals and something else if we successfully finish as top 75 in the race. Why 75? Because the event was celebrating the 75th anniversary for the products.

7.5 KM nightmare
My goodness...It was like 10 years ago since I participated in a marathon. Anyway... since I'm already in the race, I decided to do my very best to finish the race. For me, running marathon is all about the control on your breathing. It is really easy to say than you do. In the very beginning of the race, I already lost the pace....= = I was out of breath not long after I started the race. I tried everything to sustain my stamina. Unfortunately, not long after I lost the pace of breathing, I started losing my stamina....@_@

Running marathon is completely different from playing basketball. In basketball, my goal is to put the ball into the basket but in marathon, I need to keep running until I reach the destination. Omg... I used all of my energy to keep myself moving forward. My strategy was...WALK and RUN. Brilliant huh? I saw most of the participants were doing the same thing. LOL. I attempted to chase after all the participants who were leading the race. It looked so close to me but yet I still can't reach them. By the time I reached them, they already finished the race. Eventually, I failed to be in the top 75. I spent 1 hour 30 minutes to finish the 7.5km marathon. Not bad right? For a 25 years old fat guy? LOL.

Other Games Started...
The racing was just one of the activity. There were more activities such as tree planting, soccer (try to kick the ball into the holes), face/body painting, lucky draw, etc. I joined the soccer kicking. I missed the two attempts...it was so close! Then, I went for the face/body painting. Oh ya...forget to mention. I skipped my breakfast and went for the run. I was really starving when I was walking around the carnival.

Conclusion
It was quite fun but really tiring... Both of my legs has pained for whole week. I barely walk properly for the past one week. It was a nice experience though.

Last Friday, I went to Mid Valley to watch midnight movie. It was a Korean movie "Tsunami". The movie was nice but the main point was what happened after the movie. I accompanied my friend to the car park. She went off and then it was my turn to look for my car. Ho ho ho...as you all know, I'm very bad in sense of direction. As usual, I couldn't find where I parked my car. All I remember was I parked it at zone G and it was somewhere around 1st floor to 2nd floor.

Luckily tomorrow was Saturday. I took my time to look for it. Wow...the whole Mid Valley shopping complex was empty and quiet. The feeling was like in the movie. The environment was dead silent and a bit creepy. I took few photos while I was looking for the car park. At first, I didn't want to ask for any help because I wanted to "enjoy" the feeling of lost. Hahaha, it was like being chase by a serial killer in the shopping complex.

I opened few doors randomly. Some of the places smelled really terrible and somemore I saw a person sleeping in one of the...what you called that? Tunnel in the shopping complex? Anyway, he or she just slept on the floor. I wasn't sure whether he or she is the worker there or what. I definitely didn't dare to approach him or her. Haha. After 15 minutes of searching, I started to get nervous and seek for help. Eventually a security guard guided me to the right car park. Hahahaha...crazy me.

Recently I learned a new word, P.U.S.H (Pray Until Something Happen). At first, I think it's quite interesting and meaningful. But as time passed by, I found it's a bit doesn't make sense. Is it alright for us to pray until something happen? God knows. Besides that, I found out few true facts about people which is really interesting.

1) Loves to hear negative things about anything, except the things they like to know
This is really funny but it is so true. We absorb negative perspectives much faster than the positive perspectives, especially on something we really don't like. As long as we don't like it, even though it is a good thing, at the end of the day we will still "do our best" to turn it into bad thing. Meanwhile, when it is something that we like. No matter how true is the bad perspectives on it, we will still stand out ground to defend it. All I can say is, God is really brilliant. That is how He balances up this world. Black or While, Right or Wrong, Bad or Evil, etc.

2) Talk about changing something. Then *applause* and sit down. Well, that's it. Nothing happens.
Haha, another funny fact. I was like that then I started to change myself into more aggressive mode. However, any small or big changes always requires teamwork. You can't do it alone. The excitement is always there during the discussions. Everything will be "Yes, yes! Let's do it!" But if no initiative action being taken, whatever plans will turn into craps after all. Encouraging environment and teamwork are two significant factors in making a successful changes.

3) Deny one concept but raised up another suggestion with the same concept
Not many people out there is willing to admit their lack of knowledge on something. Similar to point (1), they will dispute a lot of things on something they don't agree with. But if you ask "Any better suggestions?". Then, they will propose another suggestions with the so called "similar" concept??? I really love English language so much because we can twist and turn something by using various kind of words or grammars. At the end of the day, we are still referring to the same thing.

4) Waste no time! But...we are still doing it...UNCONSCIOUSLY?
I used to hear people say "we must do it asap", "we can't waste any more time on it", etc. However, we are still wasting time. We all know Time Can't Wait but we are still wasting time. "Hey guys, let's chill for A WHILE" and then few hours gone. What do we get from it? Haha, of course we need time to rest but how long? I can say, we are always on some kind of mission given by God in this world. I know mine, how about you? Are you really doing it?

5) Get Attention
No doubt everyone loves to get attention, including me. I love to get attention from girls especially. LOL. When you open facebook now, you can see uncountable status messages being updated every few minutes. Frankly said, I really saw a lot of Godly message. If you as a Christian don't put Godly message, then you are awkward. Or...people will started to question and lecturing you about your Christian life. I don't need to put Godly message to show how much I love my God right? If you put Godly message, then automatically people will search for Godly characteristics in you whenever they see you. If you made a wrong step, people will judge you based on what you've said previously. I never say it is not good to put a Godly message on your status for all the network communications tools we used nowadays. But please...put the one which is more appropriate or suitable.

Haha, criticizes, criticizes and criticizes. Oh man, forgive me God.

Tired but meaningful. Since September, I packed my schedule up in order to learn new things to improve myself and my life. My dream as an entrepreneur...all of my dreams. I dare to dream again. Now I really dare to be different from others.

God is really good. Thank you God for showing me the opportunity is always right in front of us. Stubbornness blinded my eyes for two years. I always said wanted to be a businessman. I did a lot of thinking but not even one single action being taken because always lack of something. Besides that, there is always a weakness within me. I knew it all the while but never realized that it can caused a lot of obstacles to all of my dreams.

Yes, now I see. I have to overcome the fear within me. Spiritually and financially...Do not waste time in your life, not even a single second. Live it to the max and meaningfully. Don't 'CHILL' too much because most of the time nothing can be done out of it.

Go Go Go! :)

God is really funny to me recently. Another thing happened last night (Well...it just passed 12am).

At about 1030pm, I went to petrol station to "fill up" my car. When I was about to leave, suddenly one Indian uncle approached me and started to tell his story. Everything in my mind that time was..."Okay...how much to make you let me go?"

The story began...
He told me he is an engineer (not sure which field) and got caught by the police on 11th September 2009 for...something...he talked too fast. I didn't have time to digest. Then the police attempted to send him to psychiatric centre. Somemore he showed me a paper with a chop and signature on it. And yes, the location was showing a psychiatric centre. I didn't really read the whole thing because I scare he will do something to me while I'm reading it. I only saw there was something like a valid date on it from 11/9/2009 to 28/9/2009.

Eventually he asked for RM2 for the petrol of his motorbike. He claimed that he wanted to go back to the police station and sued them or something. When he was talking, I can smelled alcohol from his breath. Well...I bet he was drunk. He thanked me again and again. All I said was "I hope you can settle your problem too. No problem at all." I shaked his hand and left. Hmm...luckily nothing happen... :p

My friend, Kay Teng came to KL few days back to settle some personal documents. So I decided to be his driver for his few days stay here. The main destination he needed to go was Putrajaya. Putrajaya was a place where all the government offices located. I never been there before and I was quite worried because as you all know, I'm really "good" in sense of directions.

First move, as usual I will do some research first with googlemaps on how to get to the destination. However, as usual I'm still quite blur (well...never 100% sure...) but I still have to do my best to bring my friend to the right destination. Okay, let's begin the journey...of indescribable.

Putrajaya - "Big but Empty"
As for Chinese, we called this kind of place as "even the birds also don't want to lay eggs here". That means the place is located at a very rural areas. At first, I was following the directions shown from the googlemaps but I started to feel lost. So I threw the instruction aside and decided to follow the road signs instead. Well...I did lost a bit but I still manage to reach Putrajaya at around 10am+. We had to rush to get everything settle before 12pm because the Muslims have prayers on every Friday. They will close their offices for more than 2 hours during the prayer time.

Meet the Criminals Live and Exclusive
The documents needed to be settle in two places, the Palace of Justice (in Malay the place was called Istana Kehakiman) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We managed to find the courts and got the documents signed and approved. The next thing to do was submitting the documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However before that, I encountered something really interesting while I was waiting for my friend in front one of the courts.

I saw a police car just arrived but I didn't pay much attention on it. I took out my cellphone and tried to text my friend. Suddenly I sensed few people were walking towards me. I was really shocked and surprised when I saw three criminals who were cuffed to each other walked past right in front of me. One of the criminal were staring at me while he walked past by me. I can see his eyes were swollen and I bet he must be beaten by the polices when he get caught.

The most interesting thing was there were two Malay polices who walked together but the criminals were not cuffed together with them. It was so ridiculous! How can they so sure that the criminals won't hurt anyone they saw? They were so relaxed and just let the criminals walked ahead them. I was stunned and didn't even dare to move a step. I really afraid that the criminal who stared at me will do something crazy. Oh man...that really freaked me up... = =

Sunway Pyramid Midnight Trip
I decided to visit my aunt who came to KL for traveling. I bought a box of moon cakes and went to Sunway Pyramid because she was nearby there when I called her. However, we were a bit late and reached there at about 1030pm. The shops were closing and I called my nephew who came with my aunt. He told me that he already went back to the hotel. I discussed with my friend for a while and we decided to go back to the car park to get my car. We will drive there to meet my aunt instead of walking all the way to the hotel. So I payed my parking ticket and then we started to look for my car.

Guess what? I forgot where did I park my car. Actually after I parked my car, I did take a photo using my cellphone so that I can remember where I parked it. Unfortunately...when I checked out the photo...there was an error and the photo I took just now was not being stored! LOL...Thing became worst when I found out that I lost my parking ticket!!! I forgot to take it after I payed at the auto pay machine. I almost went crazy! My friend calmed me down and we went to the security guard and asked for help. We payed RM20 for the replacement ticket. I managed to get out from the car park and went to meet my aunt and gave her the moon cakes I bought.

Omg...what a day...= =

Plans? Cool...
It is always easy to talk about doing some changes on something. But when comes to implement it, people tend to find all sort of excuses to run away from the responsibilities. Well...instead of pointing the arrow to anyone. I will learn to stop judging people on how they handle their so called plans which most of the time turns out to be empty promises. However, I will contribute as much as I can.

I dare ME
Let's get back to my own life. For the past three weeks, I made decision on challenging and pulling myself away from my comfort zone. I started to learn something new and try so hard to do something that I never good at. Making a change to your life is definitely not an easy thing to do but sometimes we must do it in order to see a whole different kind of outcome from it. Hard works still needed in order to accomplish it.

Spiritually...
Christian life never been easy. I fully believe in Jesus Christ, the awesome son of God who died for our sin on the cross. He leads us, guide us and shows us what to do and not to do from the holy book of bible. We read and obey His words but not always fully understand. Hmm...funny right? However, I still do my best to serve Him and the wonderful church.

That's the update from me for now. I really can't wait for more exciting things to come.

I received an email from one of my friend from Sarawak. After I read the email, I was really shocked because the location mentioned was at my hometown, Miri Sarawak. Now I'm really not sure how many gigantic creatures are there in Sarawak. Check out the photo.

After I googled a bit, I found another legendary creature named The Legend Of Nabau(a giant snake). Back in 1992, the legendary 19 feet+ (can fight with gustave who rules in Burundi, Africa) white backed giant croc Bujang Senang being killed and his skull is being displayed at the Jong's Crocodile Farm (Adam...not yours ok). Recently during the bush fire in Senadin Miri, they found the giant python. It was really really huge...just refer to the photo above. Was it the legendary giant snake? I do not know. And how many "giants" left in Sarawak, I'm not sure but I just hope we can live together peacefully. LOL.

Some more photos to share...
