Internet, where network started.

11th November, Time flies.

Communication channel have switched from face to face, letter, telegram, land line phone (phone in your house/office), wireless mobile phone (most people are using this, even as young as 3 years old or younger), to PC by internet. Even modem is changed to wireless mode.

Internet, a world/networking without wire, where people around world are connected, LIFE!

My internet network/life started from e-mail to MSN to mIRC to ICQ to YM to Friendster to Multiply to Tagged to Skype to FB, how about Twitter? Laziness. I'm lazy to update online. Still...Blogger is the best place for me to update myself, sadly to say, not much people visit this blog...you can always get me to have a drink or meal to update yourself about me, :) or suddenly bump into me and have a chat. ;) Or should I say, not many people interested in what's going on in me, and my life? My common opening phrase will be, "Hi, how are you doing? How's life?" - what do I mean? I sincerely want to involve in your life - are you healthy? - what's going on with your life? - I'm always available to listen to you. :)

Gadgets for networking online have switched from PC to laptop/notebook/tablet (for graphic designer) to PDA/smart/ I-phone/PSP. What's next?

Graphics, virtual life. I wonder who is 'trapped' in this virtual world of networking? Am I? I think I am, else I wouldn't be blogging here. Have you ever ask, "Are the people at the other line telling the truth?" I guessed most people just believed at that moment or just think that the person they are connecting to is just chatting for the sake of filling the time.

Who is honest at the other side of the line? Unless you really know he/she in person, as he/she is your friend, that you have meet him/her face to face (how about video call?). NO! Face to face means you are able to touch the other person, in reality NOT virtually.

Whatever the channel is, the best thing to know is we are still connected horizontally.
How about vertically? We connect/ communicate to God through prayer. :) We must realize that God is always downloading His words for us, just that we have not been listening or ignore it or our receptors are not working well. Remember, God is always communicating with us, just that we are not tuning in to His channel. So, people, start tuning in to God's channel so that we will receive revelation from God Himself, daily.

Hope you have a good living ahead! God bless all of you! :)

minor injury

Yes, again I was injured after a quater marathon. Particulary from the same 'run' that caused injury to my right knee last year.
Again I was sounded, from my family, as usual.

It seems minor from 'surface' but I do not know what has caused the pain on left side of my left feet. The first-aider asked, "Did you fall or twisted?" I said, "No, suddenly pain." Then he continued, "Do you run regularly?" I answered, "Yes, I do." Then, he said, "Maybe is the shoe your wore not suitable. Also you are not used to run on tarred road." Then, he left and I kept quiet.

After that, I looked at my shoes, my shoes wear off one side particularly on the left side, and I remembered the road that I went through, some parts have pits, some have cement covered unevenly on the tarred road.

A few youngsters fell from the hilly areas, with wounded, bleeding knees. Some of them had muscle ache. They were treated in the first-aid camp.

The pain on my feet was treated by putting ice on it. Then the first-aider came and asked, "Does the swollen part hardened?" I answered, "Yes, it does feel harder than other parts of my feet."
Not knowing what it means, the ice treatment continued until my sister chase after me to go back to car and we went home.

I hardly walk at the usual speed, I walked much slower as I have to bear with the pain on the left side of my feet.

After I rested at home, bed-ridden for a few hours, then I woke up with a pain on my right knee. It felt like two bones joined at my knee were loosen and sometimes grinding each other. Felt like the kneecap has loosen.

Too bad, I do not have X-ray eyes, else I would have known what has happened under my skin.

The only thing logical to do is to rest. I have got messages from church's members saying, "Rest well and take care." Thanks for your concerns. I believed you all must have prayed for me, my knee is getting better, but my feet, I have no idea when will it recover. Hope it will heal soon, else I will have to bear with the pain while walking. Thank God my muscles doesn't give problem to me.

Our God is a God who heals, thank you God! :)

My wish list

I wish be hugged from someone I know since I'm born to this earth, my father.

I wish to receive a gift of a wooden comb, since I lost it during university's time.

I wish to have a great meal with my beloved family in Christ on Christmas day.

I wish the unknown caller would reveal himself or herself, because sometimes the phone rings while I'm not with my mobile phone. I wish he or she would call for second time.

I wish to bless someone daily.

Have a blessed day! :)

Run for the Nation 2009

Run for the Nation or in short RunNat 2009 was launched last Saturday 10/10/2009, it was meant to prepare for the bigger event in year 2010, with 3 key words: run, pray & believe. Objective of this run is to run and pray for the nation, Malaysia, for revival.

I used to be actively running in quarter and half marathon, with my beloved sister, who passionately run through her healty lifestyle. I was dragged along sometimes due to some reasons: her friend pulled out last minute: 1 or 2 days before the run, I was free on Sunday mornings. However my first half marathon run was started by my own desire, it was in Penang, the date was near my birthday, therefore, one stone kills two birds. I celebrated my birthday there and run on the next day. Of course I went back K.L. with injury on my feet. I was inexperience, I don't know how to deal with sports injury. My foot were bandaged for 1-2 weeks.

Having only 2 years of experience in running, I've learned much: warming up before run, & cooling down after run is very important. During run, we must follow our own speed and breath either using nose or mouth, not both together. Drink a lot of water a day before and after the run to avoid being dehydrated during and after the run.

Last year's Mizuno Wave run caused injury to my right knee, therefore I stopped for 3 months or more before I start running, and my performance dropped slightly. This year I slowly catch up, but it wasn't as good as before.

This RunNat is different from other runs, it is run and pray at the same time, this year we prayed for the Tamans, buildings, people that we passed by during the run, one leader will be holding the prayer card with points of prayer to pray, while another 2 runners will follow as the run and pray going on.

In my case, we take turn praying according to the prayer points, and we prayed out loud (I thought we supposed to pray in heart?), no clear instruction...actually it depends on individuals, my group was bold enough to pray out loud, with weird eyes looking at us. I don't know why, thanks to the leader who started it first, but we still go on with same pattern until the ending point.

Run and pray wasn't easy, I was gasping for air while praying out loud. Thanks to my faithful marshall, who round and round without fail following our tracks and stopped at the right time for us to refresh ourselves during the run. After all, it's like, "I've finished the 5 km run nad pray. Wow!Yahoo!Yay!"

It was a good experience having 2 people that you know pacing with you, praying together with you, we were so blessed to bless others. Unlike other runs, it's more on individual, usually fun for self-achievement, to beat the time and record for our best timing or worst timing for the particular run. Usually, I would ask when will I reach the finishing point? It was different this round, because we were doing 2 things at once, and I didn't have the urge to ask, but continue the prayer. It's like I didn't even realized I just finished the 5 km run because I was praying together with my group members. Really a good training and joy having them to pray with me. Believe me, I was not leading but following. People will thought that I would lead the run, normally  yes, but this time, for prayer and run, no, because I only good in running, not very good in praying.

After the run we had breakfast and went home to clean ourselves before joining the other people in PJEFC to celebrate the RunNat. People from other states of Malaysia, broadcast through Twitter about their progress. Example, "RunNat Melacca: We just finished the run." posted 2 minutes ago. The list went on and on. We worship God and praise God for the run. Believe it or not? God is moving His hands while we pray for the nation. Surely He will bring revival to this land!

RunNat 2010 will be launched in Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam, where runners from each state of Malaysia will run and meet in the stadium, where there first generation runner will pass the torch to the socond generation, and to the third generation, just like passing baton during relay run.

Clear Storage

Yesterday I accidentally clicked 'Clear Storage' from my HTC phone system.
Most of the applications in the phone became non-functional. Can't access game like before. Only one click, everything gone. Luckily those contacts from sim card still in, only those new contacts and smses added to phone memory lost. I wonder who were they. Sad case. I should make myself free one day to go to the service center and restore my phone applications and data. Probably next Saturday. Anyone free to accompany me?
