Run no. 2: Ipoh International Run (IIR)

Venue: Stadium Indera Mulia, Ipoh

Distance: 10 km

Weather: Rained

Time recorded: 1 hour and a few seconds (My PB)

Emotion: Happy but unsatisfying

Fee: RM 10

Position: 73

Comment: Good! Not so good organiser, t-shirt limited to first 5000 participants only (I registerd late, therefore, no t-shirt), time wasted while waiting for the registration, also during collection of medal and certificate (people pushing, squeezed, screamed, especially boys from secondary school - this makes mae believe that they are not taught of moral and etiquette; bad behaviours, simply no manners, sorry to say this but this is what happened, it was bad until the RELA came to help, but no changes as the boys is like hungry begger chasing after food when they were 'chasing' after the man holding the certificates, simply crazy, acting like barbarian).

Drink station were good, all in line. Was the last 3 person who run in 10 km category, we were late! (thought the organisation will cancel the run due to rain quite heavily before flag off) After a few thoughts and decision made to run, wasted 5-10 minutues, to wear the tag on wrist (which makes us look like things for selling), heading towards the starting point and started running. Ran in the rain for first time. Chasing after others of the same category. Was fun, met Joyce! :) Poor Joyce who waited 30 minutes before the flag off. Water station was good, fresh cold water, and sponge station a few kilometers after that). This event has made the Ipoh's society lose face.

Will I join next year? No.

Paper bag was given to put in the bibs, and receipts. (Reminds me of McD bag)

Mysterious Moth

It was fine day, until the night when the mysterious moth flied into my room, as my room is open widely: windows and door are open, it landed at a few places: curtain, behind bed, files. Then out of fear, the moth flied and "pang" hit by the ceiling fan and dropped to my jeans short.

Poor moth, it was left there until the next morning, because it was thought to be fainted, however the mysterious moth died.

Brother exclaimed, "Grandma came to visit us!"

Others said, "Ya, right."

Maid said, "Ada rezeki." meaning 'good luck', 'profit', or 'earning' in malay.

I reacted, "LOL, as if la. It's just a moth."
