zZz...

Argh, this would be the last thing I wanna receive now.
Awesome! I will be having 6 modules this coming finals which includes four BIG ones!

Current progress: 0%

My First 21km :)

I just want to be in a place like this.
Relax & Enjoy

Despite the heavy workload which turns life upside down, life is still colourful no matter what. And yes I mean it, all the time. Isn't that great?

"What could be better than doing the things you enjoy most?"

I just wanna share a bit about my first half-marathon run which took place last Sunday. Really thank God for the run. It was just awesome! To describe how I felt during the run was wonderful, beautiful...... I felt so happy and enjoyed every single moment during the race. It's like one of the happiest thing that happened.

I decided to have more quality sleep few days before the race. I know assignments are all around, so what!? I went down to Bukut Jalil Stadium with Ning Khang to collect my racing stuff the day before. Back in the evening, continue to do some work and off early to rest.

Later at night I was preparing myself, having good meals and rest. Race starts at 5.30am, need to reach at 4.30am and which means have to be up at 3am. Haha! I was so excited that night I guess that I couldn't sleep. Anyways, it's a normal thing. Most importantly is having good quality sleep days before.

Getting ready everything I need.

Lights off at 11pm and I eyes were still wide open at 1am. LOL! Forget about sleeping but I did sleep a little while before alarm rings. And I'm all up energetic, ate some stuff, waited for Ning Khang to pick me up and GO!

We reached there slightly late though and the place is packed with people. Few thousand people I guess, all pumped up, having high spirit. The situation was just so ALIVE, gave me more confidence. Well, never did a 21km before. Imagine running with thousands of people together. Man... The street is yours!

Now is the time, proceed to the starting line. Count from 10, 9... 3, 2, 1. Boom! The fun begins. I was really a happy boy at that time. Running early in the morning, enjoying the cool air. Feels totally different. Forget about all the assignments, I AM FOCUSING ON MY RACE!!! Get that!? Who cares about work?

Heh! Traffic police were everywhere for traffic control. You don't wanna see someone dead or injured. We actually blocked the traffic and all the cars were honking like mad. LOL! Our run, our road! But yeah, this race is tough because many hills and slope. Killer!

I just ran and ran, focusing on my breathing and managed to catch my after 10 mins. Awesome! Interesting thing is while most of us a still going, some African dudes are already on their way back. They are like x2 or x3 faster than us. Those guys are great. I maintained smoothly until I nicely cleared 15km after 1:20 hours. Water stations were really helpful though.

Then, problem starts. Breathing started to get out of rhythm, which means fatigue starts to come in. The last 6km was tough, tried to catch my pace but just couldn't maintain it for long. My speed obviously slowed down but trying hard to focus and push. I was expecting a water station nearby but life doesn't seems to be kind enough. Struggling hard until reached one. Final 2km, I encounter a slope again. Now this is mad. At the most critical part, I just need to push through this last slope. Real tough.

Soon I see the finish line ahead, getting closer and closer. Speeding up and cross! Haha! I've made it! It is done! Accomplish! The feeling was just perfect, satisfied. I finish 332th out of few thousand, clocking a time of 2:02 hours. My target was below 2 hours though but nevermind, more will come in the future. I checked the finishing time, if I could finish within 1:50-ish, I could be top 150! So near yet so far.

Met with my Miri buddy, Jeremy

Our 'guns'

Finisher shirt and medal

My dear shoes which brought me so far <3

Went back, took a good shower and slept for 4 hours. Woke up around 2pm and worked till 4am next morning. Hah! Screw the car jack!

*shoots head* BANG!

This is like a heck of a week for me. Finally submitted all my work for this week. Yeah, done for now. So can chill a little bit and update before starting another heck of week. Currently in week 6, which means 6 more to go. Will be screwed at the end. Haha! We are bound to torture and suffering. Mental and Emotionally! We are doomed to these kinda stuff.

Guess what? I didn't even have the chance to do my weekly shopping this week which means no food supply. I was busy, friends were busy; our weekend is doomed to work! This is probably the worst I've experienced so far. I just don't like to sleep late, messing up my lifestyle.


1. Car Jack project. It's been driving me nuts for days and weeks! Worked till 4am the night before submitting and woke up at 12pm noon the next day to finish off the bits. Frust!

2. Lab report. Yeaaaa... worked till 2am for this! Still can be forgiven.

3. Mathematics coursework. Now this is bad...as in very BAD! I slept at 5am this morning all because of this. Was figuring out one question for a long time. Thank God no class today which means I chilled the whole day.



So let's see whats coming ahead...
1. more lab reports
2. air compressor design - another design work = doomed to frustration
3. presentation
4. EXAMS! Ughh!

So please reconsider if you plan to do engineering,
or maybe just mechanical.
Civil is opposite, free till nothing better to do. Haha!

Spot It!

Spot anything different?

Sometimes I just admire people who are so free and nothing better to do. As mechanical engineering student, so many things to do although it's only year 1.

Coursework, assignments, lab reports...

There just coming one after another leaving no break in between. These 2 weeks gonna be mad. Three deadlines to meet next week!

*kaboom*

*scratch head*

Car Jack design is just so

LAME!!!

Cricket World Cup

It's 1am early Sunday morning and SA is still loaded with tons of people watching the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Heh... we really have lots of cricket enthusiast here. Sadly university can't provide the facilities for them.

WHAT A CRAZY HOT DAY!!!

My room feels like an oven.

Argh!
