Jungle Trekking
There's pretty much nothing to do here in Batu Pahat. That's why we go jungle trekking at Bukit Badang frequently as that seems to be the most secluded and well covered place to exercise in Batu Pahat. Now, tell me how to prepare for Marathon in less than a month? i'm seriously scared now...

Terry Fox Run 2007 KL
Diagnosed to have osteosarcoma at the tender age of 18, Terry Fox had to have his right leg amputated and was given a prosthesis (artificial leg). He was touched by his fellow cancer suffering patients while he was in the hospital.
3 years later, at the age of 21 the chap decided to run the marathon of hope to raise the public awareness and funds for research on cancer. He planned to run across Canada at the pace of 42km (standard marathon distance) per day. Sadly, he couldn't finish the run after 143 consecutive days (he ran about 5373km by then) when his health condition couldn't allow him to continue any further. He died shortly after just one month before he reached 23 . Currently this run is an international event that is being held every year in multiple cities to raise fund for cancer research.
In KL, the event will be held on:
Date of The Run: 4th November 2007
Flag Off: 9 am
Venue: Taman Tasik Perdana (Lake Gardens)
as you can see...there's no advertisment on the T-shirt (unlike those from Penang Marathon 2007 which has sponsors over every inch of the shirt), this is as accordance to Terry Fox's wish of not seeking fame or fortune for the event...so yes, this shirt is as clean as it gets!
OK, I also wanna run! I need to train for marathon as well (the distance is 6.5km - should hardly be a problem), but I don't think I can make it to KL this weekend. Well, so who else is going?
Seriously, if Terry Fox can do it with one amputated leg, what excuse can you have for not running 6.5km? (ok, my excuse is i'm in Batu Pahat...lame, i know...)

Don't buy Modernas! Part II
This is the second part that came out last week - my rearview mirror! i think some bastard knocked it over and the whole thing just came out...till now still clueless about how actually did the thing come out, it's a ballk and socket joint! like the one you have on your hip...you need very very high velocity force to dislocate it...
Don't buy Modernas!
Today was a bitch. I went to do some banking and when i was done and wanted to start my motorbike, the whole steel bar (used to start the engine, I dunno what is it called) detached! wtf? I couldn't even start the bike now. Ended up pushing the bike like an idiot around the town in search of a repair shop. Luckily, found a car exhaust pipe shop and the owner put in a new nut and welded it. Presto, it's good as new, actually, it's better! I dunno whether it's me or not, but now it felt like my motorbike is a whole lot easier to start! Previously i couldn't get it started without a few forceful kicks (which i think it's the reason why the whole damn thing came out today), but now with only one kick...my little black beast (pardon me for the self indulgence) roared to life! Fuck, after 2 years and RM4 bucks (for the repair), now only I know that this is the source of the damn problem!
motherfucker, how the hell can this happen???Hopefully when i start my beast tomorrow, the bliss of getting it started with one gentle kick remains there...touch wood...
Besides, received my second birthday present (the first one being the running gear i got in Hari Raya by my mum) today from Su Lin! I dunno who got the mail today for me, but he must feel damn disgusted by the intimate nature of the wrapper, muahaha.... anyway, thanks honey, I love it!
