The Reader

Nothing is sweeter than victory!

 Reading the live updates of the game yesterday made me breathless...The score was 79-78.This is SDAR story,our STORY like no other...only shared by fellow SDARA.Congratulation to everyone who contributed to this great event.Yes,it is one point victory.It showed that SDAR has won fighting the best among the best!

One big lesson is we have to fight for our success until the bell rings!If we need to crawl all the the up,so be it![Quoted from a fellow SDARA]

May I congratulate Dr Zamri Chik,the tireless and dedicated  coach, a fellow SDARA, for his selfless effort to make SDAR the Champion of Basketball among the top schools.

On two wheels..

She smiled at me as we passed each other...nothing personal but the joy of walking at Taman Saujana Hijau,Presint 11,Putrajaya.I was on my feet but she was pedalling with her hands...Thank you Allah I still can walk with my legs..

Just like water,we only konw its value when our wells(taps) run dry..similarly with our legs.

Taman Rekreasi Bukit Jalil

I was here for the first time yesterday and met my old classmate Mr Lee when we were in TIKL in 1969!I was really impressed by his prowess to run 6km on a hilly trail like this garden!I would be happy and grateful if I could walk 6km in 60 minutes!

By the way,my wife and me got a pleasant suprise that the garden is almost full of people and I am glad that nowadays more and more people are health conscious.The hefty medical expenses at private hospital is one great contribution.My riding buddy used to say that it is more fun to buy a new bicycle to ride than paying rich medical consultants at private hospitals.I could not agree more.

I strongly recommend to my firends who live within 30 minutes drive from Bukit Jalil to come and walk/run here.Easy access,ample parking,nice views(like mini FRIM to me),safe and friendly environment.

Let's go for a walk..

Let me share this note from Leo Babauta from his column on lessons learnt when he is 38 years old:

20. A good walk cures most problems. Want to lose weight and get fit? Walk. Want to enjoy life but spend less? Walk. Want to cure stress and clear your head? Walk. Want to meditate and live in the moment? Walk. Having trouble with a life or work problem? Walk, and your head gets clear.

It works for me and if you have not done it,please give it a try...By the way I walk about 2 or 3 times a week.Below is a shot of my walk with friends on World Walking Day at TTT,KL.

 

Book: Born To Run

At my age,my doctors and friends told me not to run.And I agree with them-my joints are getting older by each day and the 'lubrication' is getting 'thinner'.This is confirmed from my on personal experience when I tried to do a short run a few times during my walk.So,the best alternative for me is to do brisk walk.

To motivate me walking,I bought a pair of Nike+shoes with wristband sensors to measure my distance.Since 15th March,2010 I have walked almost 450km todate.Today is a special day for me because I plan to take part in Olympic Day Run of 7km.I plan to walk fast to complete the route in the stipulated time of 90minutes for senior veteran category.

A week ago,I went to Kinokuniya Bookshop looking for the book as mentioned above after reading some good reviews online.It is on their list but it was out of stock.So I ordered one and yesterday I got a call-the book has arrived.I am NOT born to run or to ride or to cycle,but in whatever I enjoy doing,I prefer to learn more about the subject matter so that I could benefit more from what I am doing.Here,my message is :Beramal dengan ilmu.

Today is my first time taking part in a public run event at Dataran Merdeka,insyaAllah.You can read more at my Facebook or blog.Have a good Sunday:-)

 

Surfing?

I saw this at KLCC and snapped it using my Nokia E71.Anyone going surfing?I only can afford surfing on the sea of Internet;-)

 

My May,2010 Walk so far..

 Below is the latest report on my walk for this month.Walking is simple and easy, but to keep walking it needs a strong desire and reason.Today, I grinned from ear to ear when at last my weight had punched through 75kg barrier and has gone down to 74kg.What is so great about 1kg loss?Well,When I was almost 80kg two years ago,I managed to reduce to 75kg with in 18months and it remains there for the last six month.So today,I celebrated my 'success' with tuna salad at Delifrance;-)

 To my friends who have not started walking,just get one good reason and Do IT!

 

April walk

Last April,2010 I planned to walk 50km but I managed to walk about 72km.To increase my distance,I have to walk longer each time this month.InsyaAllah,I will try harder..

 
The photo above showed my mother and my wife walking along the beach.My wife in green shirt is carrying a walking stick as a standby in case my mom feels tired.Alhamdulillah,she did very well. 

Football training at the beach..

 

 

Morning walk with my son:-)
