Went clubbing on Saturday night. Man just finished his exam and wanted a night out. The jam along Jalan Sultan Ismail was horrific. Got home around 4am. Decided not to sleep and worked on my virtual tourist web site. Amelia gave me a wake-up call at 5:30am. Got ready. Ate a pack of Maggi mini instant noodle and waited for her to arrive.
We were given free T-shirt upon registration. Huge black XL T-shirt with purple sleeves. Mandated to wear the T-shirt in order to participate. Didn't like the design at all. It would end up in my pile of T-shirts for Salvation Army.
Noticed Datuk Sharifah Aini under the tent chatting with the organisers. In the field, hundreds of people swaying like cows on drugs, warming up to some cheesy techno tunes. I have nothing against that uncle but why can't they invite some body pump babes with exposed mid riff to lead the aerobic session? But then again, this event would be featured on national TV. Sigh…
Regretted taking the instant noodle. Big mistake to "carbo-load" on Maggi. My throat felt like Gobi Desert half way through the run. Completed my run in 30 min.
There were no Milo and 100Plus vans in sight. I was given a pack of Ribena (my favourite childhood drink), a can of Horlick and a McChicken.
Didn't bother to wait for the lucky draw. Left Padang Merbok to collect Nike Pacesetter running vest at Bukit Aman. The event is next weekend - 23 May 2004. Very happy with the vest. Good quality vest, a far cry from last year's vest that looked like a white plastic bag. Signed up for 1/2 marathon in the Ipoh Run (4 July) too.
Went to Mid Valley for lunch with BW. Bought the movie tix for TROY. Instead watching TROY, TROY watched me. Dozed of during the show. Woke up during the pivotal battle scene between the Greek & Troy. Very surreal. Bigger and better than the battle scenes in Lord of the Ring. Lesson leant: Watch this movie only when you have had enough sleep. The first half of the movie is plain boring. Heheh!
