A bid to keep to my 2010 new year's resolutions...

The strangest smell just hit me and chip when we were talking at yih..smells of pacai. U noe pacai? The fragrance that they put onto dead bodies in Malay funerals to keep it smelling nice.. However, since it's associated with dead bodies..it's eeeeerily fragrant. And guess what? It came from the PBM store when Faizal Rawi and Nurul opened it up!! Arrrrrrghhhh!!! Freeeeaaaky..

Ok...done with the supernatural odour..

On Sunday...Raiyan, snoops and me participated in the Legs and Paddles challenge. 3km kayak and 5km run.. on a scorching hot sunday!! Man was it a great exercise and warmup for my IPPT test this coming wednesday evening. I completed the event in 49mins and 45secs. I felt i had the advantage in kayaking cause of my background..going up till 3-star. Got a somewhat flat-hulled kayak and it was pretty sensitive to the wind! At the flag-off..i let the pack go off first knowing that all of the will clash at the bottle-neck ahead. True enough..they did..and as they opened up..i started. Slicing through them as they struggled to regain control of the kayaks. A lot of them also made a mistake of paddling a big loop when all they jad to do was to keep the buoys on their left.. so the shortest route mathematically was to keep going straight for the buoys. From last...i cut to 3rd..right behind the first 2. While they were panting at the transition point...i jogged ahead. Was alone for 10mins i think until this boy overtook me. He went slightly ahead of me until both of us got lost! Hahaha..there were no blardy marshallers cos i think all of them went to take shelter in the shades!! So we turned back to the nearest marshaller to ask for directions. Wasted 3mins!! We then carried on...consistently jogging.. Both of us not in it for competition against others so might as well enjoy. So as we reached near the end..we both decided to sprint for the end.. So that ended the LnP challenge for me. Raiyan and Snoops was at the registration area waiting for their mixed relay to start.

Haiz...

Its 3 more days to IVP.

Situation at 2nd home still not as good. Im still in a mogok mood.

Training was meant to be tapered down...but i feel it has just come to a halt.

Gonna meet up the khalawats today. Celebrate Lina's and Red's birthday after IVP meeting.

Well..im still Jon Bon Vzoj.

And it still reeks of pacai...

May Allah guide us all..bless us with happiness and health n protect us from the dangers of this world, physically or mentally. Help us become successful people in the world and after...
