Daily life

Saturday,I had a long ride to Salak Tinggi,if i'm not mistaken. This is my first time cycling with the famous P2K group. From Petaling Jaya Carrefour to Putrajaya to Bangi Airport then to Salak Tinggi. I'm not familiar with the road but i know its a flat road when we were on the way to Salak Tinggi. Many people says that P2K is strong,now i know why,because they are good at flat roads and average on hills. There are few ex-national cyclist in the team so they are consider above average lah. Anyway,I ate the wrong nutrition bar while on the way and got myself stomach discomfort. Well,can consider as stomach pain already because they are speeding like hell and i'm having trouble with my stomach but still I can tahan a bit lah. After that,went to Erican and ate A&W chicken burger,very lousy indeed. Met jia yang,park wah and shan kai,its yi shin's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY YI SHIN =) He never reads my blog anyway. Next day,Sunday,had a recovery ride at Genting Sempah with my new tire =p. Met with the uncles I've cycled before and asked me if i'm interested to cycle up Cameron. What do you think ? Of course lah,60km uphill only. A very good training especially Uncle Don is going so I'll be training my ass off until 11/10. Its a sunday. If anyone interested just tell me =) There wont be any car to back you up because he said last time no one needed it so this time they wont have any. So you have to cycling your ass up to Equatorial Hotel no matter what ! =) After cycled,went back home and had Accounts tuition and went to Mines then now home blogging. Well,i've this weird feeling you know. I'm still thinking whether to trade in my bike or not . Its a Taiwan-made,Raleigh brand bike. I bought it for almost 1k+ and now trading it out ? A bit of mm seh tak right? Let me tell you abit about my Raleigh bikey. Its my first road-bike,its almost 3 years old by now and I used it to cycle through alot of hills before. I can still recall each hill I used this bike to cycle! 2x Frasers hill,Genting Highlands once,Cameron highlands once and maybe second time on 11th of October,14x of Genting Sempah include today,5x Titi, and many many times of Hulu Langat! Its like my partner and I dont sell or betray my partner =) But still reconsidering whether to buy
Or

Help me out =(

Bad Day

Woke up 6:30 a.m and still blur even after washing my face and slept abit in the car while on the way to Genting Sempah. Reached there around 7:30 a.m and Uncle JN is already there! (Dont know what is JN? Go and google "JooNgan".) Guess what ?! He rode the Colnago Ferarri ! Kids,you might see a Ferrari car in the TV before. Ever see a Ferrari Bicycle before? Let me show you =)

You must be thinking of the price by now,Am I right? Its not really expensive though. If you dont want any upgrades,just pure Ferrari Colnago then its around RM30,000+. Cant imagine ? Its really cheap already loh,I've got a 21k Colnago also in my house right now but its a old model lah.If I'm not mistaken its the 2007 version. Each year it has new model and every year its very special! My father bought the Colnago for 21k plus and guess what? Its a secondhand frame. Meaning the body frame is secondhand. Dont laugh cause you could hardly find a 20k+ bicycle in KL. Okay,back to the story of my BAD DAY. So we were warming up on beginning and I think around 1 km or more.Suddenly a guy with sleeveless shirt,long cycling pants cut through a group of us and guess what? HE LOOKED BEHIND AND GAVE US THE LOOK! Humiliating,looking-down,underestimating, and evil look! If he had wished good morning I would have let him go. He thought I'm with the uncles and I'm some k-leh-feh rider lah. I wont let him go so easily. I changed to lower gear * means faster * and catch up with him. He gave me the look again! This time with words. He asked "Where are you going?". I answered "Up the hill". He asked again "Genting Highlands?". I said "No,to the T-junction". Immediatly,he knows that we are surely going to race for 14km uphill ! But his look shows something . A look which tells me that I'm not going to last long if he sprints and have a break-away from me. Thats what I thought only . But thats what he was actually thinking of . He sprints and tried to break-away from me and my brother. He wasn't really sprinting really fast cuz he knows he is not going to last the next 14km. So he didnt really show real sign of very fast sprint. He just keeps on adding the speed and hopefully to get me off his tail. But sorry,man. You gave me that look and I'm gonna kill you till the end. I followed him for 5-6km i think. I had a strategy planned under my sleeves,you see. After a while,he showed a few sign of tiring. He is slowing down,gasping for air and on the verge of falling down his bike ALMOST! What else can I do ? Sprinttt lahhh! I gave him a heart attack and a very hard time. I break away almost 300 metres away. I was kinda easy on him cuz you know lah. Kids nowadays cannot take too much pressure ^^. I kept a short distance between us and wondering when he was going to catch up. He backed down for a km i think . He and my bro is behind and he is drafting my bro. And my bro helped him out! Both of them teamed to screw me up. And now I'm having a hard time! It was kinda windy in the morning and it was kinda hilly behind the last few km. So I only managed to pull another few km until they catched up but it was the finishing already. So I backed down let the kid and my bro win. =( What to do? Learn to lose before you win =) It was a nice race though,not much people can give me a hard time on hills. I love hills very much =) Well,then overall the entire ride was 48km. Had a bee stung me during my downhill. And my tire puncture for the 3rd time of my new Rim in 2 months! Bad day! All for today! Good nites!

Desaru Pengerang International Triathlon

August,3 more bloody months and its SPM but still I go outstation and skip school. And if you ask me whether I'm ready for SPM or not then I will answer you just the same. Okok lah! ^^ Okay,back to the main topic. I went to Desaru,which is located at Johor for this triathlon event. If i'm not mistaken,i think this would be the 10th year. Its really nice to have competition like once in two weeks but its so nice when you dont get any prize home =( . Well,this event is a bit special because I can say it is the toughest of the toughest triathlons among the others event. This saturday event is the half-ironman or so-called 70.3,which is half the distance of the original ironman distance. If you haven't heard of it then let me give you a shock first. First,swim 2 kilometres then cycle for 90 kilometres and last but not least a half-marathon running of 21km. Its only half iron-man that means you are only 50% ONLYYY! Not something very very big because kinda lot of people dont it but its a great accomplishment anyway. If you look at me,then dont get yourself wrong =) I have not reach such level yet but my roommate does! =D My family slept at the hotel where the event was held but I was at another hotel which is located around 3km from the event so I have to cycle there for two days and so is my roommate! My roommate is doing the half-ironman on saturday and I'm doing the sprint which is like many times shorter than the half-ironman. I'm not being looked-down or anything because my roommate is a very nice person =) Both of our bikes worth 20k EACH! So when we leave our room,we are actually leaving 40k+ inside. Luckily its a double-locked door.^^. We arrived on friday evening and took a short ride then had dinner. After dinner,we went back to hotel and my roommate and I watched TV till kinda late until around 12. I was kinda worried if he hadnt have enough sleep then it would be a total disaster for him tomorrow since its his first half-ironman. Well,the next morning he woke up at 6 to have breakfast and everything and the event held at 9. His swim was quite well though and his cycle is ok lah because he only start cycling when he was 40 but his running was quite good . And overall,he finished his half-ironman in 7hours and he ate the total of 12 PowerGel . From 9 o clock morning until 4 o clock evening. Imagine the pain and everything. He even skipped his lunch,man! I have to admit. He's the MAN! He didnt complained or say anything about leg pain or anything after his race and that is really something. I cant explained it in words because the pain you suffered during the race is undescridable! Its not something a normal person can do. If its sprint maybe some normal people can finish but slow only lah but this half-ironman is really something! Well,it was my turn then on sunday. I did quite well lah,not proud or anything,just feel that I can actually do better than someone. I'm not really satisfied on this race because someone just light the fire in me and until now it wont go off. Not anger,its unsatisfaction. I will tell the story when I reached a level. Dont worry,I will definately blog it . Stay tuned ^^. I finished 10th out of 20 or 30+ in my category and 25th around 140+ people. My assumption only. Well,overall it was quite not-so satisfying. I will definately do something about it just the matter of time. Well,I'm actually planning on doing the Langkawi Ironman next year February but well,not so confident lah cuz havent do half-ironman suddenly go do ironman like a bit...sohai? LOL! Sorry for the bad word,ladies.=) Well,you must be still wondering who the heck is my roommate and still looking for pictures right? Kinda bored though only words all the time . Somebody says my blog like essay! =( you know who you are! XD Here's some random photos lah. Enjoy.


Still looking for my roommate? No need see here,see there lah! Its the first picture on the left with the who hands-up. He is a doctor and triathlete ^^. I know you must have thought that even him can do then I can do lah the half-ironman. But sorry guys if you are some normal person then stop dreaming! You will see him swim pass you,cycle pass you or run pass you and you will be lying on the floor and sitting the ambulance car coming back! And you have no comment about it! ^^ So stop dreaming and start training NOW! *If you are interested*. Wayne? You know what I'm talking about? XD
