Time for a change

It has never dawn on me that I am such a weakling.

I thought I am ready for it. After years of training and abuse I should be ready for anything that is throw to me.

Work has been very busy since last 2nd half of the year. The build up is fast and has not stopped since.

There is a limit that one can take. I have taken it with the team for a long period of time. When it is unbearable and need reinforcement, the management(the one sitting right at the top), well I'm still finding the right word to describe. Lol

I have a role, that role has outlast his usefulness. At certain period of the growth, you need different kind of skill sets.

It has been a privilege to work with many outstanding co-workers for the past 11 years.

It is time to move on.

12 Months

A quick 12 months and he is 1 year old.

From an infant, today he walks 5 steps. I didn't have the honor to watch his steps. :(

He is a bundle of joy. A central of attention which make us realise what we have been missing all these while.

Happy Birthday.

Perspective

Looking back at 2009. Life has more or less stabilise. Still far from the good old days, but i am glad it show good sign of recovery. Hopefully one day, i will fully recovered from it.

Body condition is much more better than 2008. I wish 2010 will be even much better and harbour the hope that the conditions will be a non issue in the future.

Certain habits still need time to remove. It is getting better, just need time.

Have manage to take part in a few races. A bit disappointing with the result for some, i guess that is my current fitness level and i just have to face the fact and move on.

I wish 2010 will be must better than 2009 in many ways. At least the economy has improves, at least everyone has something to be positive about.

For one thing i learn in 2009 is to have patient. Time is an important healing factor for many things.

Like the saying..times will tell....times...will tell.....

Melaka - Day 4

Last day in MY before heading back to reality.

Woke up pretty late. Just laze around and enjoy the ache from yesterday event. :)

Take a lazy breakfast at almost 9am. :)

Drove to have our prata. It hasn't changed much. Just need to make a couple of more rounds to make sure i am on the right track. Walking is different from driving! Wahaha.

Decide to head out of Malacca after checking out instead of going for the chicken rice since we are not hungry.

Reach JB before 3pm. Have our beehoon quay lunch and a quick shop at Giant before heading back to SIN in heavy rain.

Manage to reach home by 5am.

It has been an enjoyable and educational journey for everyone. :)

Day 3

Morning had Genting Trailblazer until past noon time.

Wash up and head down from Genting towards Malacca.

Decide not to head directly back to SIN and stay on additional day in Malacca to clear leave and spent more time with the family.

Although HR went up for hours(don't know how many). But i wasn't feel any particularly tired.

Reach Malacca pretty late around 4pm+. After check in etc, immediate head for dinner. There was pretty of seat available when we arrived, it wasn't when we started having dinner.

The food is pretty usual, because of the peanut paste, but i don't know how to appreciate. Too many of ingredient isn't a good thing IMO.

Visited Jonker street in the evening. Walk up and down the street couldn't get my chendol! Damn, the famous chendol shop is on vacation! At least that was what pasted on the metal grill!

Bala house have changed so much since i last visited. Still good enough with the kind of pricing for a good stay in Malacca.

Body starts to ache in the evening. Old leow....:(

Genting Day 2

Woke up around 6am. Everyone is still in the bed.

Felt restless and head out for a walk. It wasn't that cold in the early wee of the morning. Sit at the hotel lobby and read the library's book.

An expensive breakfast! Expensive in a way we didn't expect. For 3 pax, a bowl of ba kuteh(2 pax share), 2 coffee, some tim sums and cost us RM$98 at a kopitiam! I couldn't believe it! The hotel expensive buffet around RM$30(nett) per pax! It makes more sense to eat at the restaurant than at those cheap looking shop.

Yesterday even eating at Kenny Roger, the pricing is around RM$100 as well.

Came down to Awana after checking out. It wasn't a long ride. The car abit chao ta which is expected.

The race expo is like last year, pretty small...same location.

Goodie bag wise, i think this year is much better. At least whatever was given in it, i will use 90% of it! Gosh! When is the last time i find out so many goodies that are useful.

Goodie bag items:

1 - Milo Shoe Bag
2 - Event tee(darker green colour than last year)
3 - Genting Skyway complimentary pass
4 - Indoor/outdoor complimentary pass
5 - Gym membership pass (14 days) - Useless!
6 - Powerbar (self collection)

Race briefing is super early as per last year. 5pm briefing to start on the agenda, but i deliberately arrived at 4:30pm which is just in time for it! Learning from last year experience! Damn organiser just don't care on following the race schedule!

Meet up with many familiar faces from SIN. For the TOO, there is too yen, ms piggy and myself.

Dinner is at the Korean restaurant at Awana instead of the buffet dinner the package includes. Given i have 2 tickets(there are 3 of us) and the last feedback i get is the makan is so-so only, i decide to eat out. Anyway the pricing doesn't look that scary. Damage is RM$90.

P/S: Economic rice at the "lok kok" place according to Seivland experiences, 2 pax - RM$50. They came together with her family and they are complaining like hell as well.

Conclusion, in Genting, if you wanna eat, but eat at "higher pricing" makan place. At least you will find it more worthy.

Time to rest for the race tomorrow.

Genting Day 1

The journey on NS highway was a bit new to me. For once i am travelling to KL in the day time. I actually feel it was LONG. I haven't feel that when it is in the evening. I guess the fact that i can't see far in the dark is comfort to our senses.

It rains on/off pretty heavy while on the journey there. I had experienced worst rains on NS highway before. Situation whereby forcing me to drive at slowest lane while i floor the gas pedal, i am still going at a mere 80km/hr max! Car skipping left/right going at 50-60km/hr isn't new to me. For this trip, i can still maintain around 80-100km/hr going at fastest lane towards KL. My guess was that i took about 4 hours+ to reach KL from SIN with a makan pitt stop in the middle. Can't really go fast in daylight :)

The jam was bad in KL and everywhere seems to be heavy traffic. When we finally arrived at Petaling street. The makan shop that we are targeting had closed shop. Had to settle for another shop, which imo was bland. Not the kind i expected when we last head over to KL.

Again the traffic was bad as i follow the instruction of Ba Ku Teh to reach Genting via Ampang, MRR2, Karak route. I used to go via Batu cave route, which is a bit messy and end up going in cycles before reaching Genting. Not a problem this time, just a bit LONG stuck in the jammed.

Reach Theme Park hotel around 6pm+. The weather was still good, nothing serious happened to the car on the way up. Phew! It is always a challenge for the car when it hit mountains. The car just not use to "climbing" the hills and have to overwork its poor "limbs".

Since it was quite late, nothing much to see/look also. So walk around, had dinner and jalan abit before calling it a day.

Weather wasn't that cold though. I hope it get cooler tomorrow.
