19th & Mizuno Wave Run 2009

This year's 19th celebration has been overshadowed by an unpleasant happening, which I might share it some other time.

First of all I would like to thank everyone who wished me on Facebook, text message, and even phone call from U.K. [*wink ;) Wei Kit] ...

the remaining Cengal bunch celebrated my 19th with me..

& Jac for the midnight surprise and being great company :).

Call me sad or what, I took part in Mizuno Wave Run on my birthday. Frankly, I was looking forward to the run more than my very own appreciation day. Not too hyped up for my birthday. Hmm.

The Mizuno Run was gonna take place at UPM. So on the eve of my birthday, I slept over at my Jac's house because on the next day, she could direct me to UPM, accompany and cheer for me for the run.

This year the first wisher through text messaging was the same person as last year's, Aunt Farah :D .

Back at Jac's house, she gave me a pleasant surprise at 12am sharp with 2 slices of Secret Recipe cakes :).

Thanks babe ;).

Next morning, at UPM's Sports Complex. UPM is so big - definitely bigger than the whole Tropicana area! They have a lovely running track which I strongly believe UTAR should have one too to promote running and athletics among students. Being at the track gave me a chance to rekindle my old sweet memories of athletics :).

The distance for this Mizuno Wave Run is more than 11km which I got 89th placing with the time 52 minutes and 36 seconds. I did better than I expected, I was predicting to get around top 200 as the top 500 runners are eligible for medals.

Stretching and warming up.

--

I registered this run together with Ah Lian which participated the previous Centro Run with me.

Meet Ah Lian a pro volleyball player but joined the run with the motive to - sweat out and keep fit.

---

Right before the start of the run at the starting line, I heard, "MENG LEONG!".
Guess who was there!

Kevin Wong! He's currently at IMU now, the same Uni as Joanne Pereira. Kevin's stamina is a whole lot better than mine I'm sure! He got 24th place compared to mine, 89th. Very good run my friend! Haha there's still room for improvement as for my case :).

---

The medal :)

--

Behind me is the place where we can have unlimited water, 7up Revive, Milo, cereal etc. But being around those booths, Jac described the place as if it was 'raining' - raining sweat that is :p.

To get my cup of 7up Revive, I have to go through a crowd of heavily perspiring runners to reach the booth as if it I was a car going through a car wash.

But nevertheless, I enjoyed the run :).

---

Ah Lian and I at the finishing line. The finishing line is such a turn on la, I cannot resist to sprint as I reached the final strecth back at the stadium track :).

---
Last but not least,

Jac and I - thanks for accompanying me, really glad you came and watch me run :).

--

At night, was a dinner at Damansara Village with the remaining Cengal bunch + Jac :).
Eh, Wei Kit, I thought you told me you were coming :\?
Special thanks to Yong Meng for the cake and organizing over such short notice,
Kar May, Sab and Joanne for the gift :).

--

Now I have a tormenting issue to settle with. Hopefully things get better.

1 advice : There are plenty of scams all around. Don't be too gullible.

Wei Kit & Chiaw Yee's Farewell Gathering + A day at Kampar

A last Cengal gathering before Chiaw Yee and Wei Kit leaves for U.K. .
There is never a dull moment being this bunch :)

Meal time!

Winning Eleven!

Watching...

BRUNO! - a very very disturbing yet hillarious movie in a twisted way. (not for the weaker minds :P)

A Bruno inspired Wei Kit :D!

Our departing friends :(. Wei Kit already left, Chiaw Yee leaving on 30th September :\.

I know, in years to come, we would still look back at this picture - & smile :).

All the best in your future undertakings Wei Kit and Chiaw Yee. Keep in touch!

Yesterday, I headed back to Kampar to sit for my Macroeconomics paper the following day. I drove up with my brother and Choon Seng tagging along.

The moment we reached Kampar, we changed and head to the court to play futsal with other regular players.

Studying the fishing rod, hook and so on :b.

Fishing by the west lake

Clay pot chicken rice for dinner!

Kuih-muih shoppers. ;)

Thumbs up for ice kacang on a hot sunny day :D!

Asam Laksa for lunch, while my brother had beef noodles.

A couple of days ago, an epic-random-interesting-queer night took place. We had guys photo-taking session, 'last moments talk', 4x20m, watergun, and a football. Ask me about it :p.

Bye Khei.

Our caring, bubbly, happy-go-lucky friend has left to study aboard. Take care, and all the best in your future undertakings there :).

Catching up.

Lately I was back for a couple of days from Kampar, primarily to have an early Father's Day dinner because of my screwed up timetable which requires me to attend classes during weekend.

There are times, there are people when you're with them you feel fully contented. On Thursday, I was with the right people and having those pleasant time. We opt for dim sum for a brief brunch, but too bad some of our old buddies couldn't turn up because of exams and stuffs. However, Ethan(who has exams) turned up anyway,

Peace to exams.

---

My school days were definitely the best phase I ever had as far as my life has gone. Being with the Cengal bunch always never fail to put a smile on my face. I'm positive my ex-classmates enjoy each others' company as well :). Damn, it was good catching up with old mates. & we've got the camera snapping away!

Ethan, Chiaw, KM and Sab:).

Choon Sengg ..!
Where Cincau meets Soya Bean. Haha kidding, Ethan and Chiaw!

With CSeng and Chiaw!

Sweet KM, Jolly Sab :).

Chilling out at Chiaw's place before heading to Gardens/Mid Valley.

At Gardens.

Meal at Madam Kwan's.
Nasi Lemak for everyone, except for me and Sab we had Asam Laksa and only Chocolate Milkshake respectively : |.


We all love Khei Sze being her silly bubbly self :).

Chiaw Yee the Taufu, Khei Sze the Tree, Sabrina the Cow, Kar May the Car. Wow we were so creative with names back then, haha.

Fascinating specimens: - Female shoppers.

& we indulged in the newly opened Krispy Kreme at Mid Valley's LG! Go grab some for yourself!

Thumbs up for Krispy Kreme :D!

The last shot to call it a day :).

I'm sorry to cause the Tioman trip not to materialize. I'm totally excited by the fact you guys choose to visit Kampar as Plan B, but I'm not too sure you guys will be as excited as I am. Anything do inform me.

Keep in touch :)
