Torn ligament, again.

Right a day after UTAR's Trekathon, I hurt myself while playing futsal at Kampar. The pain was excruciating, and found out that my ligament torn again. Thankfully, the injury came after the Trekathon. If not, I would have been deeply devastated. On the first day, I couldn't walk on my own will, which sucked totally. Although still yet to recover but I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for all those who potrayed your concern towards my injured ankle, especially Jac, which I truly appreciate :).

At Kampar, I had my first round of treatment at Kedai Ubat Aw Chee Kai at the Old Town.

The treatment did improve my condition, but still not good enough.

However I still can barely walk, so since I'm back at KL for the weekend, I decided to find Madam Hing at her new clinic at Kota Damansara to get her miraculously effective acupuncture treatment on my first injury 2 years ago. Much thanks to Thian Hong who introduced me to her last time :).

Needles on my swollen leg :\

As sophisicated as it looks, I'm feeling much better now and hopefully I can get on running and football-ing again as soon as possible.

Ah yes, call me out guys, I'm back at KL for the long weekend:).
*but not for sports :(

Scam

Nowadays, people are willing to come up with funny funny way to get the money from your wallet you know. These are smart but cunning people, they are swindlers. In a way they can argue their business might be conducted in a legal manner, but definitely not ethical. Many enforcements have been carried out but these people just would not give up such easy way of doing business - con and get your money. They will take advantage of your naive nature and greed, some people just aren't as pure as you think they are. The following pictures are the coupon related to a scam and I would like to warn everyone here to be aware of this and stay away from free gifts, prizes etc. You will end up sobbing on the amount of money you've lost that would strain you not only financially but emotionally as well.

Just to remind you, there are no free meals in this world. Get real.

UTAR Trekathon 2009

After last month's Mizuno and Centro Run, I've cut down a lot of my jogging time, due to the hectic short semester. Lately I saw an online notice on UTAR Trekathon, I did not hesistate to register for it the next day as I missed last year's Trekathon at Bukit Gasing :\.

Last two days, I went back to my mum's hometown at Teluk Intan to visit my maternal grandparents and relatives with Jac tagging along.
Being at Teluk Intan is synonymous to being around good food! - Be it my grandma's cooking, mee rebus or chee cheong fun.

My uncle bought a generous number of durians from his friend's orchard, and declare - DURIAN PARTY!

I think I had too much durians, my body is feeling heaty and body acne starting to pop up :\. We went back Kampar early because I have Trekathon the following day.

I woke up at 3.30am, had Koko Crunch for breakfast, gathered at the Westlake guard house at 4.30am, but only started our journey at 5am. by the time we reached Lake Garden, KL, it's already 7.30am and my Koko Crunch was probably completely digested by then. I miss running at the Lake Garden, reminds me of last year's AdventuRun which was utterly enjoyable with Wei Kit, Joe and Yu Szen.

Frankly, I presume this race would not be so competitive. But the other competitors definitely proved me wrong - so wrong.

For this trekathon, I got 2nd. Although still second fastest among all the runners there but still SECOND BEST ARGH :(. Satisfied I got a medal, but disappointed I didn't push myself more to get 1st. Probably travelling in such cold condition from Kampar and run straight after isn't the best thing to do. I did warm-ups but my body still felt cold. Actually at the 7th minute, my calf muscle is already going against my will to run but the race must go on. I clocked 21 minutes 41seconds - they mentioned the distance is 6km but I doubt so.

Anyone know where I can get a device to measure running pace and distance?

UTAR Trekathon, don't play play.

Visitor :O

Lately it has been raining very often, we all prefer to stay at home - no one actually would like to linger out of their house.

But at my Kampar house, I've got a visitor who lingered out of his 'house'.
Probably running away from home cause screwed up his exam grades?
Seeking warmth and shelter?
Or probably running away from his abusive wife?
Hmmm.

Guess who came to visit?

A Mini Python :O

Flies these days.

Flies these days are so happening - Baby maggots in the making :\.

Since when #3 is unlucky ? :(

I apologize for not updating properly, it seems as like I've lost my blogging mojo. Gone were the days I use to blog at least twice a week.

Hmm I have to say it here, going through FMLs is heck of an entertaining pass time if you're online and have no idea of what to do.

A random FML pick;

Had a few happenings lately, a number of unpleasant ones.

What is happening at Kampar lately? There had been a series of unfortunate events here relating the number 3. 3 fatalities from the bridge-collapsed-Sg.-Kampar incident, 3 fatalities from a car accident, and 3 fatalities - UTAR students at waterfall. Since when #3 is unlucky :(?

Let's move on from those unpleasant news. Innocent, adorable, young children/babies. They are such a joy to have around. You little ones make me smile :).

For your information, on the date the UTAR-student-waterfall-drown incident, a bunch of us went to waterfall as well.

Thank God there weren't anything bad happened during that trip.

Wait, there is - we forgotten to feast on the cendol pulut that we planned earlier>=(.
