Im a WhateverFool!

That is my Hana's boyfriend, Iedil doing an add for the Runfest Cyberjaya which will be held on the 8th January.

Here are the details of the event as mentioned in their website: 

Date: 8 January 2012, Sunday

Flag off Time: 7.45 am

Location: Start and Finish Line at Sports Arena, Cyberjaya

Categories: 7km for Men Open and 7km for Women Open

Eligibility: Open to all Malaysian citizens, permanent residents, expatriates as well as Singaporeans

Registration Fee: RM 50 (at Pre-registration tribe meetup), RM 60 (Online registration)

Entitlements: Runner’s tee, finisher medal, e-certificate, prizes for top and not-so-top finishers, a whole lotta fun

What's cool about this event is that they divide you according to your tribe. There are 4 tribes (Red, Green, Blue and Yellow. Just like the school days ehh?). Before registering, you will need to take a short quiz to determine which tribe you're in and you will run with your tribe. What a way to make friends, ehh?

I took the quiz and guess what?

Im a WhateverFool!

Behold....

You are... the WhateverFool!

You are undefined. BEYOND labels. You go against the norm. You're different. People have a hard time figuring you out. You don't really care. You're neutral. You're... well, WHATEVER.

A boy. A girl. A ladyboy. A cat. A mother of two. A vegetarian. A 60 year old grandfather. A ninja. A mamak that makes Roti Canai. A Blondie. A rebel. A chair. A whale. You are whatever you make yourself to be. You're a chameleon. Because there's beauty in ambiguity.

WE COULDN'T CARE LESS WHAT YOU ARE. YOU ARE AWESOME. ALL HAIL... The WhateverFool!

Unfortunately, I might not be able to make it as it is the morning after an event I'll be attending.

Terry Fox Run KL 2011 Here We Come!

Bought the T-shirts!!!! 

See you on the 13th November at Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur!!!

Putrajaya Night Marathon

During the fasting month, i signed up for Putrajaya Night Marathon with my friend, Farhan. Since it was supposed to be his first marathon, we signed up for 5km fun run. What he forgot to tell me then was that his birthday is on the same week. His family and friends planned a birthday celebration. Initially he was a little reluctant to let me run alone. However, i managed to convinced him that it is not worth skipping a birthday celebration for the run. Besides, i am already used to running alone. (remember my previous marathon? Adidas's King of the Road.. I ran 10km alone) Lucky me, some of my Sapura Crest friends (including my very close family friend, Abang Joune) also signed up for the run. Even though all of them signed up for a different category(10km), at least i wouldn't be so lonely.

The run was pretty cool. However, the fun run didnt get my spirits all hyped up as shortly after we started running, some of the participants already slowed down and walked. Of course, upon seeing that, my legs got heavier. I got a little lazy and took my own sweet time. I completed 5km in almost 40 minutes. :p

That's what I'll do~! ;)

I'm the Queen of the Road

When I first heard that Adidas was going to have the King of the Road Marathon on the 2nd October, I was very excited. However, there were only 2 categories (10km and 16.8km). You see I've never run more than 5.5km. So, initially I was comtemplating on whether to give 10km a try. I took too long to think that when I finally decided to register, the 10km category was full.

Call it fate or whatever you wanna call it, my friend Dayana registered but since she is pregnant, she asked me if I would like to take over her place and give it a try. Ironically, without any training I accepted the offer 2 weeks before the actual event. However, since I had a very low antibody due to my level of stress and hectic schedule, I fell sick; making it almost impossible to train. I just made a few attempts to hit the gym with my bestfriend, Akasha and attended a dance class.

Route of the KOTR Marathon

So, there I was on the 2nd of October at the starting line slowly starting to jog. Honestly, the whole time, I kept asking myself, "What did I get myself into?". However, as I run further, I started to get the hang of it. Looking at other people running gave my spirit a boost. Thanks to Barry White and Selena Gomez (on my mp3), I had the will power to continue.

Guess what? I made it through 10km in 80minutes! That is certainly an achievement for me! My first 10km marathon and I made it in time. Who says short legs can't marathon? (Let's not look at the fact how two 50 year old aunties finished way faster than I did.)

I am barely 150cm tall and I made through 10km without any training in 80 minutes. I also received a finishing medal for making it within the time limit. Woohoo!



With my Finishing Medal. 10km baybeh!

Age does not matter. What you do with the time and opportunity that you have does! I may be 25 and will turning 26 in 3 months but I'm proud to say, I'm living my life to the fullest!
