SPRINT IS FOR KIDS LOL

Next time you're in Kenyir, stay in the boat house. It floats on a big blue recycling bin! You catch the fish, eat the fish, shit it out, fish eat it, you catch the fish again, eat the fish again...the cycle goes on for as long as the world lives. Long live Kenyir!


After all, we can do a lot of tough and difficult things together! But this one definitely not for the boys.......SHOPPING!!!!! This story gave us ideas on how to sabotage mama's shopping! Nyet nyet nyet.....

Homesick


Mostly I call Malaysia home after having lived here for the past 15 years.
But on the 25th of December I will always be homesick. I miss my family, not being there to give each other a hug, to wish my mom happy birthday, miss my friends, even miss the cold weather -maybe even snow-, the christmas decorations etc.....
I wish you all Merry Christmas & peace and health for 2008
Prettige Kerst en vrede en gezondheid in het nieuwe jaar

Quick update

New kid on the block during his 1st biathlon: Zul
Pciture thanks to Tey

Just a short update, a few pics from Chin Woo Biathlon. I didn't take part. The previous week I had a fall during the bike-ride with Juli (talking toooo much...). Of course being an experienced nurse we make a point of telling others what to do and not following those guidelines when it comes to our own health. So I ignored my shoulder, didn't hurt much. But at the end of the week I made one wrong move while trying to grab something, and the next day coulnd hardly lift my right arm. So I sat out Chin Woo, got rashes on my arm from the sweaty armsling (I've dumped the sling), still had fun chitchatting to friends. My shoulder is a bit better but still difficult to raise the arm above my head. Anyway, doc says can do exercise as long as it doesn't hurt, so cycling and running okay. Probably need to do MRI but my medical allowance for this year habis, so I'll do the MRI in january if my shoulder not okay by then.
Me and my sling Pic thanks to Tey

Wah, Eugene dah pakai medal, Kalam baru nak lari.

Women talk too much

Had a lovely weekend;
on saturday went for a long swim 2.5km. Two new guys (at least I can't remember seeing them before) showed up in the pool while I was finishing the first 500m. They started to swim alongside (breaststroke as well). One started lagging behind after the first lap. The other kept at my pace. We swam nearly 2km up n down till the second guy gave up. Of course I had to finish a few more laps to establish dominance.... hehehe it's not every that I get a change to do this, so I enjoy the occasion -nothin wrong with that-

Sunday morning cycling with Juli. Kalam and Danial came along. Not the easiest job in the world the wake those two up on a sunday morning. But many years of practice makes perfect and we met up with Juli in Hulu Langat just after 7am. On the way a familiar car passed us by -must be Shazly waving at us-, another Naza Ria with Powerman Stickers.
We drove to the parkinglot at Gunung Nuang and started cycling from there. Lovely fresh morning air -only Danial felt """fffrrreezzzing ccccollddd"""- orang Mesia lah anak ni.
Juli and me in front chatting as ladies do...
Unfortunately chatting doesn't improve your concentration on the road. So after just 5km Juli and I crashed into each other. Both falling on top of each other in the middle of the road. But for a few scratches and bruises we were fine, and so where our bikes. We continued a bit more carefull, total quiet cannot-lah have to simbang2 sikit2
We cycled to Sg Tekala. Several stops for pictures, sip of water. But really enjoying the route and the landscape. Shazly was allready on the way back with Dicky. At the rest-area met with several familiar and also some unfamiliar faces, nasi lemak fuel-up.
Slowly cycled back. Felt good till the last few km -suddenly energy gone- not used to cycle more than 20-30km. And the last little bit was a steep hill, hehe next time tipu aje -park the car at the bottom of the hill.
Total distance ~65km, nothing compared to what most of the mutants are cycling every week but good enough for a sedate middle-age lady.
But definitely worth repeating some day soon. Coming sunday our family is joining ChinWoo biathlon and Juli is running a relay-race in Kuantan, maybe week after that. Next time maybe invite a few more cyclist -we only made arrangements late saturday nite-, ladies welcome -can chitchat sikit2....

Hahha, I just finished cleaning my bike and chain. Darimi kept me company and washed Kalams car. Now Kalam's car is shiny untill 75cm, to clean the top part need to wait a few years till he grows bigger.

Just got news today, the land were buying in Hulu Langat has been approved for building (was agricultural land before). So who knows, hopefully in a few years time we can start cycling from 'Mej K's and Nurina's JungleHse'.

Lifesavers at last

It's been a week of bits and pieces.
On saturday Kalam joined some of the cadets on a bicycle-ride to Putrajaya. Of course no off-saturdays in private healthcare so I had to work (anyway that group is way too fast for me). Never mind, on sunday afternoon I went for a bicycle-ride with Juli. We started from Putrajaya infocentrum.
I've hardly cycled since Powerman. The roads inside the camp are in a bad condition and I don't feel confident to cycle out of the camp -lots of very busy roads surround SG Besi Camp. The lack of training was obvious, even though Juli slowed to a snails pace I could only just hold on and when there was a strong wind while going up a long hill I didn't manage to reach the top ( and that's a hill I've conquered before). All in all we cycled probably around 30km, and Juli is lovely company. Hope we can try again soon.

This morning both Danial and I completed the four-day 'International Life-Savers course in UPNM. In an earlier post I was lamenting about my boss refusing to sign my leave-application for this course. What I did was file for the leave again but this time put under 'reason for leave' school holiday. And this time he signed without further questions -motto; treat stupidity with stupidity. So coincidently while on school holiday I've managed to complete the ILS course.
It was fun taking this course together with the cadets, Danial and a few staff members. Apparently we all passed (guess the coaches just turned a blind eye here and there - I'm quite sure I didn't pass the 50m below 50sec test). The coach teaching the CPR part was quite lost, I doubt any of the participants will be able to perform CPR properly -just hope they'll never need to.
Danial did the same course last year with Kalam but was too young to get a certificate (minimum age >14yr). Now 3 members of our family are certified lifesavers - BAYWATCH HERE WE COME -need to buy some sexy red swim wear hahahii

Kalam just returned from LIMA, apparently met a few IM's while running around in Langkawi.

It's been raining the whole day, trying to decide between a run in the rain or going to the gym afterwards.
