* IU nite * Shiau Sang's birthday bash * Titiwangsa Triathlon *

Friday afternoon. 8th October 2004. Donated blood for the first time. or at least i intended to. Got low haemoglobin. For those who don't understand, it meand i've got not enough blood even for myself. So they pressed a packet of Iron Pills and Folic acid into my palm and sent me off!

Friday night. 8th October 2004. TCSJ Leo Club's IU NIte. Thanks to PorPor for sponsoring RM10. And to mummy for sponsoring RM50.

The event was a bit bumpy. There were some major technical glitches. The CD player, which was working fine during rehearsals, suddenly decided to boycot us when the real event started. We delayed for more than an hour. In the end we let everyone go and have dinner first while the technician tried to rectify the problem. Which he couldn't. So anyway, we cancelled the opening act which honestly would've made my IU unlike any other. But oh well. We made do with my little radio, the round shaped one. Not bad ar...came in handy also. We put it at the side of the stage and put a mic to it...throughout the IU nite. Apart from that it was quite ok i think. Yours truly donated all my unused running shirts, including dad's, mum's, keith's LakeView shirts. haha all the Jogathon Summit and Klang Quarter Marathon all give away la. Brand new anyway. Used for Lucky Draw Prices.

This director of mine, Hanna, donated 2 hampers, 1 toaster and...read this...1 VCD player. cool huh? she claims it has been sitting in her house as a white elephant. But she says so were the hampers. hmm i wonder how many of the items in them were still valid and edible. haha...oh well, made Lion happy anyway. Though he didn't have a chance to win because he didn't buy ticket. His loss. VCD player won by Sean from Prime-MSC, former La Salle Leo Pres. haha...

Ended considerably early considering we started so late. Left with loads of extra food coz response not so good again. But it's ok la. Every director have to bring back lor. Then there's this girl, another director, she's got lots of contacts wan. She basically knows everyone from everywhere. She's this clubber kinda girl who's working also and...u get the picture. So, she managed to get us free chocolate cakes with ice cream topping from TGIF. MmMMmmmm.....



Shirlyn and Yan Nee were my models!


This is ZiLing on a Zither. Who would've thought that there was such talent hiding beneath this petite Ipoh girl.


This fella's talent, on the other hand, was pretty well heard of, but you have got to see it for yourself!! Shi Wei and his self taught Er Hu skills.


Ben asked me, "Which is better Half of Madfish or just Mad" I don't see the difference *wink*


My club. I sooo dun wanna step down. sigh...

Finally came home at about 11 plus. watch the remainder of a movie my family was watching: 8 legged freaks. Stupid show. Took a long long awaited bath, spent a few minutes online and hit the bed like a log.

Saturday was pretty free. Went for Shiau Sang's party at night, was held at Bistro 40, her mum's bistro. Not a big thing. Met ppl like Shelin Grace, her Inti mate. Watched Malaysian Idol. One comment. Bad sense of fashion. Went to Por Por's house after that. Stayed for a while then left. Went home prepared for bed at about 11.

About 6 hours of uncomfy sleep (again) later the alarm rings! 5.45 am. Time to run! Titiwangsa Tri!!
I went there with Siew Ghee. His father fetched us there, daddy fetched us back. Siew Ghee's team got 2nd. The 2 brothers Joey (he's 10 yrs old) and Jason now upgraded to the winning team already. The younger one, Joey, was put in an even better team than Siew Ghee's. Apparently, he could've won 2nd but his runner was a bit blur and went extra half a loop so Siew Ghee's runner came in 2nd. The elder brother Jason got 4th place. The running leg was 3 loops btw.

erm...my cyclist, John Boy, we both missed each other during transition. He went straight past me and i didn't even see him. So apparently he went looking for me for abt 5 minutes. That's what this other guy said la. I felt bad so when i ran i told myself to make it up to him by improving 5 minutes. haha...after the race I asked John "did you really wait for 5 mintues?" he said "nola...but it was quite a while" so i appologized again and again. hehe...I kinda wanted to be on his team for quite a while since he was once my brother's cyclist and also i find him very yeng. So when i finally was, I didn't wanna disappoint him. oh well...that plan didn't go very well now did it? But...i beat Junki Iwata...haha! So I take pride in beating 11 year olds who unlike me did the full triathlon. Sue me. He's Iron Boy!!

Kimberly Yap (Daniel Bego's sister) was there. She was the first swimmer overall to come up. Next was Kee Tzuen (spelling?) and followed by Chiew Wei. Both of them are brother sister. National swimmers. Sia Wai Yen (SEA games gold medallist) was somewhere amidst them as well.

Anyway, even if it was <10km,>!!! ahahah...exhilirating experience to see the digit '4' as the first digit on my watch. In the beginning it was just "pleaseee below 60 below 60" Then when i finished the first loop in 15 minutes plus i was like woah!!! Setla i'm doing below 55!. hahaa...thinking I wouldn't be able to maintain, but looks like i did. =)



A rough idea of how swimmers of the tri start off...
