KLIM - Half Marathon

My very first half marathon and it was just for fun. My official time clocked at
02:54:05 -offical time
02:53:47 -net time
01:11:43 at 10km

For results, click here!

Almost wanted to give up at 7km as I felt that I won't be able to make it. But at that moment, I was somewhere running on a highway. But then again, I had only two ringgit with me after I gave my 10ringgit to The Lonely Runner early that morning. So I kept on running.

Didn't do much training and preparation for this run. My aim was to finish in 3hrs, that all. Not even thinking of getting the medal for completing within the qualifying time, which I didn't even bother to find out, in the first place. Overall, I am very happy with my 10km, clocking at that timing. The last time I ran 10km (Mizuno WaveRun) , I took one and a half hour to complete.

The only thing I like about this event is that I have Kevin and friends cheering for me at the finishing line. Two things I hate were 1) the official attire, an oversized 'ah pek' like singlet and 2)there were no mobile toilets for ladies at the refreshments points.

I have to get an early rest now. Tomorrow back to normal, stress....struggling with loadz of assignments and preparing for this Thursday's bioscience test.

I GOT C FOR MY COMPETENCY TEST...

THANKS TO MY THERMOMETER... i charted the code wrongly for the temp and pulse!
i am so tensed... clumsy.. knocked against the trolley and bed... dropped the thermometer.. and worst case was touching the sheath of the thermometer... i've contaminated it...
terribly done... greatest disappointment... *sigh* must learn to be calmed and relaxed.

Now leaving for KL.. KTM train leaves at 10pm.

Bye now!

Will be back by Sunday night...

Relax CT!

Slept at 2am last night and can't really sleep. Just closing eyes.. then was awaken by a burning smell. Got up to check the stove and other electrical appliances and switches. Everything was fine. Back to bed.. but i think i did get some sleep cos' i dreamt that i was tested on mobility and position of patient. Called Isabel the first thing to check if she'll be at e-plaza. Knowing her as being very ON one... but aiyah.. she decide to be on " own time own target" .. not sure what time to leave ...

Anyways, I jus have to learn to be independent in school. The truth is I'm still not used to moving around the school alone. I know I will get lost.

Yesterday Christina reminded me of the 5102 -CBL case study tutorial tomorrow. I won't be around and it doesn't mean that I can escape. I hope my finding on the case study is relevant.

ok got to leave.. all the best to myself, keep calm, relax ... Steady!

Ready to Go

I just realised today that we will be leaving for KL tomorrow night. I am a bit kan-chiong right now .. not for the running but packing.. I need to prepare the things i need to bring.. travel light. Bring my Bio book- A MUST! how about laptop? if bored with bio, can write my Communication essay or Soci's presentation. See how..

What to wear to run ah? I don't look good in shorts so I'll settle for long pants..feel like wearing my Stephanie Sun's singlet but it's black. oh yeah.. very important- Sun Block. But the most important thing on my mind right now is tomorrow's Competency Clinical Test. Stress! Hope that I stay calm and relax so that I can focus on my interventions.

But am ready for the run? I think so. I think the run will not bore me cos the route, the place, the surrounding are unfamiliar ..I am eager to see what's ahead of me. So I will keep on running... Explore the city of Kuala Lumpur! Ada motivation... I hope I won't take so long to complete. I don't want to keep Kevin and the rest waiting for me at the finishing, in case, they want to go for a last minute shopping. Opps! did i jus say ..shopping!! Another motivation factor to consider but shopping is not part of my itinenary.

Ok next .. what song motivates me to run..? Hmmmmm...must download latest by tomorrow 7pm.

And another thing... I am looking forward to meet blogger runners from Malaysia. Too bad, cannot meet Wendy ( see tagboard).

Tonight will pack a few stuff and to complete the rest tomorrow after school. Will be taking the night train at 10pm and reach KL very early morning. Leaving together with TLR and his family. Fd will be leaving on Friday afternoon by bus. We'll all be staying at Swiss Inn till Sunday.

Excited???

U mean right now? Not really.. actually.. Got a lot of other things i worry, in my mind.

Uniform

On early week of the semester, all of us had to queue for uniform measurement.I was one of the last few in the queue. And today, we collected it and guess what? The tailor gave me "M" size- STandard "M" size. What a waste of time. Shouldn't have queued at all.

When tried on this afternoon, it was a bit loose. My friends were telling me that the waist and hips area were too loose, all because i do not have buttock, like any other minahs. And on top of that, I lost a fair bit of weight. So the aunty suggested to trim/alter 1-inch. Then, she said that I may want to consider the things i'm putting into my front pocket.. hmmm she may be right. So after testing putting Isable's ah lian style long wallet and handphone, the dress fits me jus fine though still abit loose around my hips. As long as the bottom don't look like a ken-ken skirt, can already.. and above all, i mustn't look like a goondo.

Oh yah.. this i must say! I used to fit into jeans of size 30 at max, but last week, went to get a pair of jeans at bosini and my waist has shrunk to fit into jeans of size 26.. Amazing! It must be all because of running. My weight upon admission was 56kg and now it's 53. To all those who wants to shed some weight.. just run or do any form of exercise. Diet? Nah.. eat still .. but in moderation.

Homesick

Totally forgotten to document this: My cat Harry is back with us! or should i say.. he's back to be with his brother, Todd.
We took him back last Wednesday. The new owner expressed that Harry was vomiting and feeling homesick. They said that he pushes his head against the door, trying to escape. I guess he missed Todd. And during his absence, Todd was not himself too. He followed me everywhere, whinning and making a lot of noise, especially at night. Maybe he was wondering where could Harry be and he badly needed his brother to play boxing. I guess we really can't separate the two siblings. So now they are happily re-united.
