Singapore ooooooh Singapore!! we come dude!!!

Tetterettttt!! 

Here we go!! Singapore!!!!! ooohoiii!

First trip ever to Singapore..by bus..from KL!

What do you aspect???  Nothing because this will be my new trip to Singapore!

We departed to Singapore by bus from Bangsar at 12.30noon..Friday; 28th May 2010.

Myself, my fiancée, our team manager; KY, her assistant; Tess and another 2 KOMA runners; Adam n Sham.

Omar and Elmy will be joining us kat Singapore

After 5hours in the bus,we arrived at Novena. Before we could reached Novena, actually we need to get "COP MOHOR DIRAJA" kat imergresen (Malaysia-Singapore)... New immigration complex building yang telah menyenangkan semua pengguna!!! Horreeeyy!! Clear! Go and continue our journey!!!!

Elmy friend to Adam waited us Novena and she's the one who helped us to collect our running kit from the organizer! Thanks to her!!! Ko mmg baek laaa Elmy!! Pakcik sayang kamu!! ohohoh.. 

At Novena Complex, we started to think and discuss where we should stay but the main topic was; where should we heading to??? We need to perform our solat before we could go anywhere...so where is the nearest mosque?? aha!

"wait!! wait!! can we wait for my friend; Shikin???" Elmy requested us to wait for another Singaporean Malay girl..

"Ok, no prob.."; adam replied.

After 5 min waiting for Shikin, she came with her beautiful smile..ohoho..this is nice Singaporean Malay girl!! Nice lady, nice skirt..

we walked to the nearest mosque to performed our solat jamak; Asar and Zohor and we did our solat jamak maghreb and isyak as well.

One of the pakcik in the mosque was very helpful. He noticed that this group of huha people came far away from Malaysia..

"Nak, nanti minum yer air kat belakang..ada biskut...buat la apa air yang kamu mau..Help yourself!"

Before that, the pakcik gave us  a copy of solat time for Singapore.. easy for us to refer. Thank you pak cik.

After solat maghreb and isyak, we sat on the shelve, minum air yang dah dibuat and we took few pictures together... Shikin and Elmy wait us outside the mosque. 

Before we move, Nurin told us that her nenek sedara invited us to her house.. ALL OF US! OMG!!! We need to fullfill her invitation...okay!! okay!! okay!! Before we left to her rumah nenek sedara, we need to go to Bellestier Road to find our hotel first.

Took bus and paid $1. Cheap! Very cheap! 

2 days stay in Singapore we will stay in Hotel 81, Bellestier Road, Singapore. $318/2night!! OMG..dammmmm expensive!! Too expensive... But we do not have any choice..that was the only place we could stay for this trip! Haiyoooo............. After everything done..we slowly move to nurin's nenek sedara house at Marrylmount (i think so) by MRT!

Jeng..jeng..jeng..the love story start here..KY+Uncle Ib________

apa jadi?? tak tau la kan..kena tanye KY laa sendirik..pehal pun, dishes malam tu 100% superb..first time i ate Singaporean nyer masakan..mmg best! (walaupun different taste..) We took some pictures together for our "KOMA ALBUM in SINGAPORE"

Elmy took us to Esplanade and when we arrived there, she reminded us to get back before 12.30am, so that we still could get our last MRT to NOVENA unfoetunately, after sat and talked together, we realised that it was 1.30am...haiyoo we need to take cab to Bellestier Road! we paid $9.40 for a cab..takpe la asal dpt balik hotel.

Tirying day..we laid our body slowly on the bed...small room, no window, but VERY EXPENSIVE! Day 2 trip waiting for us and we need to rest before we walk again in SINGAPORE.....

Day 2

OMG..Omar's sister text me.."please let me know where do you stay. Omar could not reach you. He is in Belliestier Hotel" OMAR!! OMAR!! OMAR!! Omar was standing near to my hotel..he reached there about 9.30am but i woke up at 10am..sorry my friend! I'm so sorry!

Ready to go..we walked again for our 2nd day trip. Adam suggested us to go to Indian Road, near to Arab Road..we were hunting for our breakfast! not breakfast but BRANCH (breakfast and lunch).

At Novela MRT station, we took train to City Hall..(hehhh! dah pandai tuuu..) We walked sampai penat..perut lapaq ni..tp kedai sebijik pon tak masuk2 lagi..hangin! marah pun ada ni..haiyoo!! macam mane nie??? Then, we found ada 1 mamak restaraunt kat one street ni..apa lagi, pasukan kelaparan terus masuk serbu!! Semua senyap sbb kelaparan..makan penuh fokus terhadap nasik dan lauk yang ada dlm pinggan..

Settle, KY bayar! Tq KY! semua beransur utk ke Sembawang! 

Elmy wait us in Sembawang MRT station. She really wants to show us her malay tradisional dance art group. From Sembawang MRT station we took bus to Sembawang Park. It was 5min by bus from Sembawang MRT station. Her group was there. After few min for short briefing, Elmy started her training. At 3pm, we made a move! Bid farewell to the dancers and her kompang boy!

Now we were heading to TAMPINiese.. a town kat far east kot of Singapore..

We thought that Adam brought us to Bike Expo unfortunately he got wrong message.. But before we could proceed with any visit, lalalaal...we need to find the mosque @ surau. Now we get different direction from different people. Confius! We walked around at one of the area in Tampinese to get the mosque and finally, Adam asked a man in barber shop and easily show us the direction to the mosque! Alhamdulillah! We found it!  

Settle je solat, terus kepala nak ke Pasir Ris...tpt amek shuttle bus to Singapore Sundown Venue (starting point). we paid $1/trip=$2 laaaa kan. Before we took MRT to Pasir Ris, we took our early dinner @ Mc D @ Tampinese Bus Station. I took 1 big cup of Choclate Milk Shake! yummy! The rest took burger, french fries, apple pie etc...Back to Pasir Ris; there you seeeeeeee...1 long que of people to get on the bus! we started be in the line at 6pm and we got into the bus at 7.30pm..1 and half hour. Too bad!!! The bus took us to Changi which is if the traffic was ok, it only takes us about 10-15min. 

8pm we reached at the venue. Get ready runner! Start do your warming up...30min left before you run tonight! less than 30min, we need to do stretching etc...haiyoo..mana cukup ni. I started to feel that something will not be ok kejap lagi..

8.45pm we moved to the starting line unfortunately one of the officer not allowed us to enter runner "cage" @ starting line and Adam started to mengomel!!! I saw on my left, few funners started to jump in the cage and i slowly walked and push myself to the front of the group..3, 2, 1 goooooooo!! at 9pm sharp, we started our run.

It was very hot! Unexpected! I tried to push myself as much as i could. For first 5km, Adam was following me closely and he started to move back slowly when he could not follow my pace. Few times i will lloked back to him, and called his name and tried to push him to run with me..but Adam was happy to run with his own pace. 

Every 2km, there would be a water station and i purposly will stopped and took 8 cups of water and dropped it on my head! Shouting all the way to motivate myself since i felt it was very hard for me to finish my run in this hot night. Keep on shouting and telling myself the same sentence untill i started to feel that it did not help me much especially when i made my last U-TURN at 18km of my run. 

Peha dan betis terus menegang. Over dehydrated! Over sweeting made my muslce started to cramp. My running pace became slow. I started to run on the right of the lane. Few meters i tried to push myself, to run as my normal pace, but it did not help me and it even more worst. I walked for 1km and stopped at one of the water station. 10cups of 100PLUS. It was the best medicine for me and it helps. I rubbed my leg with the deep heat to help my drug circulation and to reduce pain on my leg. 

I really need to push myself for my last few kilometers to finishing line. Off course, i started to say that my personal best time for Singapore Sundown will be the worst compared to other marathon that i have took part before. Yeah!! 2hrs, 04min, 49sec..that's was my time @ Sundown Marathon-Half Marathon!

Too hot...too bad..too dehydrated!

Vomitted!! OMG..sume kuar! Nothing aku simpan dlm perut..haiyoo....10 cups of 100PLUS kuar...Choclate Shake kuar...apa tinggal?? kosong sajo. In the middle of midnight yang tak best..waiting for a cab..1 cab took 3 of us back to Bellestier Road, we desprately need another cab..Tess called few times but it did not help much..KY did the same effort tp takde apa yang dapt gak...... Then, Tess called her friend in Singapore; Alin...a stewardest of Singapore Airlines...thanks to Alin for your kindness to help us to get a cab..kalu x mmg aku kena tido kat atas jalan je laa..or worst come to worst..jalan kaki..ooo NO-NO-NO.

Adam, Sham and Nurin patiently waiting for us in Hotel 81.. I really tired! Superb penat dude! Could not really pikir apa lagi selain menghempaskan badan atas katil dlm bilik.................ALHAMDULILLAH...dah sampai, nak tido......and we only had 3 hours before we bid a farewell to Singapore!

Day 3

6.30am..still early in the morning..we walked slowly heading to Novena Square to take bus to KL..It was very short and simple trip and we learnt alot from each other..Singapore make my eyes open! How difficult to live in Singapore if you do not have enough salary.. Every single things is MONEY.. you really need to know how to do your budget, when you can spend your money..etc..

Thanks to KY, Tess, Elmy,Omar and my runners; Adam, Nurin and Sham!!! Thanks yeah

my Komen

total distance : 130km sahaja
average speed depa: 40-45km/h
weather :panas dan berangin
(organizer bg tau time briefing 30km/h jer) .....


setat-cp1-cp2-cp3-end
manjung-beruas-pantai remis-UNIKL-manjung
~kat CP1 aku tak dapat air..cet! amat teruk sekali sbb aku risau ngan beskal yang dah barai..jaoh lagi nak kayoh ni dowl~


Dpt join la pelotan..tapi tak lama..dlm 45min-1hr je..then aku akan kuar dr pelotan pertama, join pelotan kedua..sbb tak larat nak kayuh selaju pelotan first ni..agak laju depa ni..giler arr
Kat area lepas UNIKL nak ke Manjung sbb angin kuat sgt, ada la nmpk cyclists ni buat echelon..aku pon sibok nak buat..tapo kejap je..pahtu babai lagi.....pakcik makin nak smpi kat finishing line, makin selow la pulak..mental gak sbb cuaca amat la panas..


beskal aku ada teknical prob
kat ayer tawar kena stop..betolkan rantai, sbb gear belakang suda sangkut
kat cp1 cabut tayar belakang, cassette suda barai..
My coach + only supporter kat tpt kejadian = Cgu haron yang baiki masalah.


ini my first event dgn panas+berangin..adoi..sangat sakit yer.
tak tau la jai kate kg nyer ni adalah negeri di bawah bayu..bawah bayu mana pon aku tak tau mana..panaz dowl
Susah aku nak kayuh bila aku tekeluar dr group..angin yang kuat, kaki pon dah lembek time tu..adoi..sgt2 bertungkus lumus


Sampai kat finishing line, aku mandi kat air pancut bomba tu..mmg kepanasan. Dapat mandi terus la segar bugar (konon laa).
Gman sampai, aku salin baju sume..pakai baju baru. Makanan sume dah tersedia..cgu and his team (MTBE Kuantan) dok sedap makan tp aku macam biasa la..lepas event mana bleh makan sgt. Tgk je laa..sebijik nasik tak masuk. Kalu abes running pon aku tak makan..ni plak cycling yang jaoh bedengung ni..lagi la aku takde rasa nak makan. (all these cyclist dr MTBE kuantan mmg taiko..suda lama maen beskal..beskal pon memahal dowh..menangis tgk. so kalu dah taiko, pepaham je la bape laju nyer depa kayuh..termasuk la cgu haron yer)


Sit with them, listen to them..aku telelap..memula aku dah letak kepala kat bangku, cgu dah sound; "weih, jgn mengada la..bukan penat sgt pon"
Dowh..1st timer beb! mmg aku pengsan..push all out utk settle kan 130km..
Dah tak larat sgt, apa aku kisah, tido tetap tido..macam mana aku tak lena, angin tiup baek punya..letak kepala mmg "jalan" terus laaa..takde ku kisah org kat kiri kanan dah..lantak hangpa la nak sembang apa..aku penat, aku tido..


At the end of the event, the organizer gave away lucky draw..sapa la yang bertuah tu? aku nyer no mmg tak bertuah..so tak naek..eheheh..takpe..1st timer nak pengalaman je dulu..cedok abes2an.


Thanks la kat cgu yang kasi advice, bantuan technical + mental support.
so overall, saya budak baru belajar, kena train lagi utk few event yang bakal menyusul. Power man bulan 11 ni..so kena pulun abes2an..lari-cycling-lari..oo yeak..tak tau la mcam mana nanti.mungkin muntah ijau.


Komen2 lain-

En. Fariz Jamean
"Congrats to both of u for completing the ride. Next action for u and Cgu... camne nak racon lebih ramai bebudak KOMA ni main beskal gak... bila ada race yang nak kena ada naik beskal (macam Nomad), sumer pening kepala..."


En. KAO
"Jom...jom...aku pun baru plan nak beli beskal. Mountain bike ker?....tapi mcm ko cakap la...main beskal nie selalu kebas tang_________ . Tue yang aku mcm kena consider tue..."


En. Amir
"Hahahaha...part tuh..mmg kenangan...bila bangun jer...berdesup darah masuk..perghh...mmg senak dowh time tuh...n just imagine kalo 100km per day...2 minggu...guna mountain bike yer..kira jer la senak tuh brp round happen...mmg kenangan.."


En. Haron Sahat:
" "Kebas" tu kalau kayuh road je sbb continous paddling. Itupun selepas 2hrs atau 70km.Bila berdiri hilanglah kebas tu sbb darah lancar semula. Kalau mtb tak de kebasnya. Last 2 weeks aku try Downhill kat Bukit pelindung. Tak pakai "Body Armour" sbb tak de.1st time try & tergolek. Masa jump bukan setakat kebas, hilang terus. aku rasa nak start DH sbb XC dah tak rasa apa2.mcm gi skolah jer!

Kayuh kat manjung sepatutnya santai(30km/h) tapi geng2 triathlon (navy) tak boleh nak slow. Tahniah daus sbb boleh join grup depan.(nanti aku update gambar, tak sempat nak transfer, a very exhasuted weekend. sampai ktn 0400am after 6hrs riding)

Tahniah kpd peserta rogaining, terutama pada pasangan romantis(sure kena wtf lps ni) good chemistry. banyak lagi event, keep your fitness tip-top-tap!

p/s; Amir, mostly cyclist adalah golongan veteran, sbb mental diorang mmg power. Org muda mmg galak tapi cepat mengalah."

Hakikatnya byk menda yang aku kena baiki dr JMFR ni...pengalaman yang ciput ni la kena dijadikan kekuatan kot.

Quote terakhir tu kena timbang tara semula..kena pikir dlm2.. byk tersirat dr tersurat.

a lot of things to do kalu aku bebtol nak dapat apa aku mau dlm cycling. kalu running aku kena tgu 5 tahun utk berdiri kat atas podium tanpa gangguan lawan..cycling maybe kena lebey lagi.

Basikal aku mmg cikai kalu nak compared ngan lelain yang guna carbon etc..basikal aku paling murah..
ada yang bawak basikal (frame saje) cecah rm6-7k..tayar pon bleh rm4k sebijik..to be frank la..aku tak mampu..
panas gak telinga dengar bambu2 org2 keliling..tp aku budak baru belaja..kena telan sume la....JMRF was my 10th ride lepas dpt basikal biru tu... apa yang anda harapkan dr budak yang baru menceburkan diri dlm sukan ni?
Bak kata org; 130km apa ada hal? takde apa pon distance tu..cipot teramat..mmg aku tercabar la jugak kan..tp telan je la..cabaran tu dowl..Bukit kayu hitam? what?? maybe satu hari nanti..
Anyway, i will do my training lagi.
To ensure aku bleh compete utk Powerman bulan 11 nanti, aku akan concentrate ngan endurance dulu, then aku kena buat speeding, then baru bleh combine running and cycling.
By Sept lepas nikah kot..aku dah bleh wat back to back..running-cycling-running.


Cgu dah sound soh aku join jelajah 2 negeri dan ipoh ride. tak tau la..kalu ada rezeki aku join, ni bukan keje memain..nak kena susun schedule keje bebetol gak to ensure sume bleh lepas ngan sempurna..

Siaran tergendala wink* wink*

Woishh…panas dah kepanasan akan makin kureng bila sampai ke petang..
Trend utk minggu ni:: 5pm < (H) (U) (J) (A) (N) > ……
Pergh lebat selebat-lebatnya..org putih nyer peribahsa ada bebunyi “rain like cats and dogs” betol ker?? Aku pon tak tau..klau salah sila la betolkan…….
Ahad hujan
Isnin pon hujan
Selasa pon hujan dan hujan dan hujan
Rahmat….alhamdulillah..yer la..bape lame dah kepanasan. Dam pond ah kering sebab cuaca panas giler…siap kuar kat berita tv tu ari yang melampau panas..
Panas sebab apa? Entah..mungkin DOSA yang melampau2 byk kot yang kite dah berjaya buat…maka BERTAUBAT laaa.

Disebabkan hujan, maka aku nyer aktiviti petang sume tergendala..ahaha
No running xtvt
No KOMA Biggest Loser Challenge xtvt
No fartlek xtv
No drill
No slow jog
No-No-No-No
Of course bebudak aku tak kan wat keje gile macam aku belari dlm hujan yang lebat..
Of course bebudak aku akan carik alas an kukuh tak nak trn training “ARI HUJAN DAOS”
Of course bebudak ni akan mengalihkan xtvt sihat kepada xtvt MENYIHATKAN badan kat level 4 pulak (agaknya laaa)

Aku rase minggu ni akan hujan seperti hari2 sebelum nya…tp insya allah lepas magreb hujan dah reda..so apa lagi, xtvt renang kat kolam akan tetap diteruskan khamis petang lepas opis hour (8pm)..ayok..mari berenang!!! Sure seronok…kalu ujan time ni, betambah-tambah la selonot..
