Random video clips

2009-11-08T20:04:00.000+08:00

Pixie Lott video clip reminds me of childhood game Lat Tali Lat Laili Tam Plom. I like the song 'Mama Do uh oh uh oh'. Lagu terel and she's only 18!

Have you watch 500 days of Summer? The film can be pretty much summed up in one of the first lines of the film. "This is a story of boy meets girl. But you should know up front, this is not a love story." Yep it's not the typical romantic movie but i love the artsy style with beautiful cinematography.

Watch this cute dance video by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt for 500 days of Summer movie, but its not included in the movie ekceli. At minute 2.05, you can see Zoey cam main Teng Teng hehe.

Lunch @ Manhattan Fish Market

2009-11-07T00:40:00.002+08:00

Took a one day leave and went to Pyramid for shopping! The best part was Zet, Wawa and Rina joined the crowd! Haruslah bes kalo kuar bersuka ria ngan girlfriends during weekdays plak tuh! It was a Jcard day ekceli so dats why truja nak gi tgk barang if ada good bargain. But later I realized that the hype to shop wasn't as exciting as before dah because the price tak drop sangat pon and the barang cam dah common due to banyak Jusco outlet kot.

I managed not to splurge on other things except the things i mmg planned nak beli *pat myself* nih pon dah bengkok blom end month lagik huhuhu.

Tiru gaya wallpaper. Gambar (atas) Rina and Wawa berjaya buat dengan comel. While my gambar with zet turns out tak snonoh sket, lol! Nih angle from Wawa's camera, but angle from Zet's camera lagik clear hahaha. Tuh untuk personal keep :P

Then we went for lunch at The Manhattan Fish Market. Dari pagi tak makan, sangat lapar wooo kaki pon dah menggigil tak larat nak diri! Since it was my first time makan kat this restaurant I let the others to suggest what to eat.

We decided to share our food and ordered the Grilled Gala Platter for Two. Everything on the platter was nice except that thing yang look like meatballs tuh. I dunno whatizit but it certainly tasted weird and ewww!

I love the seafood pasta! Sedapss!

And oh as for appertizer, we ordered fried country mushroom. Sedap gak but too oily. Tingat kat cendawan goreng pak Ali (skudai, johor) yang sedap and murah. Dolu2 sanggup batur panjang tunggu cendawan goreng siap pehtu kaut macam beli kerepek.

So sambil perabiskan makan sambil camho and borak sampai lebam

Rina and wawa yang dah bloated.

I should've ordered plain water jer. Tapik degey nak gak rasa Sweet Alabama (combination of banana and peanut butter). Arghhh trus rasa lemak berkrim bekumpul kat perot. So sessi memaksa orang lain minom and tolong habeskan terpaksa diexecute.

Then kitowang pusing2 tgk kasut. waaahh saket kaki and saket blakang dah mencengkam rasa dah time tuh. Wawa was the first to leave because parents dia nak datang umah. Then rina plak balik nak pikap husband dia. Lepas tuh me and zet sambung jalan kat warehouse sales @ stadium shah alam mmg kejer giler hahaha.

Lepas balik tuh rasa cam besnyer kalo dapat soak my feet in warm water. But i'm too tired plak nak carik air panas hehe. Tido jelah (-__-)

Through my our window

Check out this cute videoclip Through my Window by Bunkface. Apparently this song is the talk of the town.

Reminds me of this short film.

Hmmm Taylor Swift's video clip also use the same concept.

Farewell party for trainees

2009-11-02T20:00:00.002+08:00

Last Friday, the MSD team organized a farewell party for 3 practical trainees. We contributed RM10 each person.

I was in charged to find RM20 gift so i bought 3 set of photo coasters. Since we're on a limited budget, nak beli wrapper pon dah tada cash so cheep bought me a paper color yang pakai zaman skolah2 dolu. Yang besnyer he bought 2 colors black and orange dah macam halloween theme plak hehe.

It was quite plain biler dah wrapped. Nak buat fancy2 fold tak reti, so i cut out letters to form their names. Noticed the name 'Anaz'? I forgot to reverse the letter 'N' and too lazy to fix it because it was almost my bedtime :P Besides they will koyak in split seconds.

We had roti bom, kari ayam and mihun goreng that morning. There were also cakes, cocktails, teh tarik and grapes. It was a quick break then everybody started to resume their work *yawnnn*

2 of the practical trainees

Up

2009-11-01T14:59:00.003+08:00

I just watched UP and i loved it!!! Dolu time tayang kat cinema, i don't even bother to ask Cheep to go and watch it. But now rugi plak rasa tak tgk kat cinema. But isokay because Cheep ada version yang sangat2 clear. I had a good laugh, love every each of the characters and cool storyline!

For me it's one of the movies yang meninggalkan effect. One thing i know after watching this is that i wanna grow old with Cheep like this! Love and care for each other through thick and thin and through health and sickness (saper tanak kan?) but something cute like this lah dah tua2 pon gi picnic and amik gambar comey2 ;) But what we'll do when we get old and and all alone? Hopefully we all have fond memories of our partner and family to hold on to.

Synopsis: By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

Nota kaki: I've watched Finding Nemo more than 10 times because i never get bored of it, and i think this will be another animation movies that i'm going to watch again and again.

Lunch @ Tappers Cafe, Capsquare

2009-10-29T23:33:00.002+08:00

Went to Capsquare for the second time. First objective was to have lunch of course and secondly to test Poji's skill using his new camera Nikon D3000 hahaha.

So we chose to have lunch at Tappers Cafe.

Tengah pikir nak makan aper o_O Kenyang ekceli because i had late breakfast that day.

Then i decided not to eat anything....just a glass of mocha shake. Seriously! *keputusan kental*

Other drinks ordered by Mas, Padil and Haikal. Cam nampak cool and fresh jer ice dalam glass tuh.

Mas berjaya amik gambar sekelompok perokok tegar. Sila jangan tiru aksi ini.

Lepas makan dengan kadar agak segera, kitowang trus carik port yang bleh amik gambar. Huhu sibler tak panas sangat kalo tak mau lencun ngan peluh. Dahler amik gambar pon kene cecepat gak because 2 of em have to attend meeting at 2.30pm. Haisyoooo! But dapat jugak nice shots (for me lah) and slamat sampai di opis around 2.15pm. Gedix photos will be uploaded in next entry hehe.

4bia and Sukiyaki Western Django

2009-10-29T08:48:00.000+08:00

I know i hate horror movies and yet i still watch it. Well, i have no choice because later on everybody will quote the movie and i don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about mana bleh kan?? So we watched this 4bia movie which were recommended by few friends. Subtitle dvd nih mmg cam harem tak boleh paham langsung! Can u imagine when the subtitle displayed 'machine is long' its ekceli meant 'captain'?? (well we figured out the meaning along the way)

4bia or 'See prang' in thailand

The first story, "Happiness" is about a lonely girl who corresponded with a stranger over hand phone text messaging and soon discovered something strange about this new stranger. My verdict is scary lah jugak!

The second story, "Tit For Tat" spun a tale of black magic and vengeance for a school kid that had been bullied by a school gang. Beginning macam bes tapik biler the ghost strike trus jadik cam katun plak because it's too digital.

The third one is, "In The Middle" - a group of friends faced one of their worst camping trip after water kayaking accident. I like this one because sumer character dia terel facial expression, lawak plak tuh! Lawak2 seram lah kira.

The final segment "Last Fright" takes horror to new heights with a psychological thriller that involves a stewardess flying solo in a cabin with a dead body. Hohoho i must say this is the best compared to the other 3. Unique plak tuh citer dia about this stewardess penah ada affair with the princess's husband. When the princess died, tuh yang jadik corpse guling2 dalam flight tuh! hohoho scary giler okehh sampai terover aku jerit and sesak napas nyorok blakang bantal.

Heroin in the Last Fright. Cunn woor and terel blakon plak tuh

Sambil2 tuh tgk gak citer yang Cheep pasang which is Sukiyaki Western Django. Didn't watch with full concentration because it's too much for my liking. Macam hindostan pon ada gak citer nih with some ekjejeret scenes. But i guess that's the whole point of this movie.

nota kaki: i wanna watch Papadom :(

The Bucket List

2009-10-28T08:30:00.000+08:00

The Bucket List is a feel good and uplifting movie played by 2 strong characters Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It's about 2 dying man writing a 'bucket list' (things to do) before they 'kick the bucket'. I love the ending part where they crosses off the list one by one. It does have a message at the end about how you should live your life to the fullest, how your family is important, and how you should be happy in life and the movie delivers that message perfectly.

To All Married Couples and To All Future Couples

2009-10-27T08:30:00.001+08:00

Copied from shilashower's blog. I've read it before in a forwarded email but it's a nice story to read it again :)

To All Married Couples and To All Future Couples

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!

That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; I had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, 30% shares of my company and the car. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly.

Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset.

I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest.. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me; she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.

Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death does us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote: 'I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart'

The small details of our lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, the property, the bank balance that matters. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.

We teach some by what we say
We teach some more by what we do
But we teach most by what we are

You don't get to choose how you are going to die, or when, but, you can decide how you are going to live, here and now.

By,
Unknown

I like the bold sentence. Small details as simple as gestures, hugs and cuddles, quick kiss, and borak even benda bodo skali pon so you know you still have a sense of intimacy between you and your partner.

The one with birthday cake and one candle less

2009-10-26T08:30:00.003+08:00

On Thursday FF called me up and invited us to JJ's birthday dinner on Saturday. She invited geng lipan bara without JJ knowing it. The venue was Kedai Kopi, Shah Alam and of course lah kitowang pegi sebab dekat sangat ngan umah. So on Saturday, when we arrived most of em were already there. Huhuhu paling dekat pon sampai lambat but not the last one aar hehe! Salah budget time :P tatau dorang dah sampai mana time tuh because FF pesan don't call her to avoid JJs curiosity. Excuse...i know :P

The birthday cake. Hilang satu candle here o_O

Before makan, potong cake first. Well JJ kene buli sket jer. Kene go through the birthday song and blow the candle twice hahaha!

Birthday boy

MAC event

2009-10-25T09:00:00.001+08:00

On Friday me and D went to KLCC to check out MAC's new promo the magic mirth and mischief. D wanted to buy a compact powder so she was entitled a makeover. I love MAC but my own encounters so far have been with unhelpful and unfriendly staff. And guess what, no exception in this event.

The promo at concourse area

These are the new collections by MAC.

MAC's brush is excellent even though i never own one hehe. I was contemplating to buy my refill because i wanted to buy something else as well, sigh. Well, i succeeded tahan napsu!

The makeup bar

During the makeover, kitowang tanya the staff sepatah dia jawab sepatah. Patot time apply the makeup at least intro lah what are the products you're applying to your customer's face. Busan giler! Nak try benda lain pon kedekot okeh! Major turn off!!

Last but not least, i love this oval chair! Ohhh comfyyyy!

Open house @ Saujana Damai

2009-10-25T01:43:00.001+08:00

The second last open house we went last weekend at Saujana Damai. Since we're not familiar with that place at all, so rasa cam jauh sangat and not too mention sesat even though we have map in hand.

We were the last to arrive hehehe. While everybody sumer dah sampai and dah makan (Sorry lambattt!). Tgk food jer trus trasa lapar sangat2 and tamak habola. There were nasi ayam, mihun soto, kek batik, carrot cake and the most special one was otak otak! Fuhh lama tak makan otak2 nie, husband Aishah buat banyak plak tuh so we ate quite a lot, lol!

Sian dorang nih tunggu kitowang sampai lambat sangat. So sempat lepak borak2 kejap before they make a move. Dorang dah nak gerak pon aku tak abes makan...tangan dok belemuih lagik hahaha.

Glad to see old faces cam Fadh, Aishah and Irma. Dorang nih paling susah nak jumpa and tak active in FB kalo tak...tau lah jugak their new updates. If only Zect, Ielah and Teez were there baru lah complete geng geesix. Time nak balik we ols dapat stok otak2 seplastik bag, bes bes!

Non-Offensive words that offend

2009-10-24T05:30:00.000+08:00

I listened to Rush Hour #flyfm the other day where they run a question 'the non-offensive words you usually hear that offend you?' It was comical to hear what they have listed based on caller's output that evening because i have the same list, lol! Here is a list of words they have mentioned:

* Duh!
* Yea rite
* Whateverrr (emphasize on the 'r')
* So???
* Hello???
* Up to you! (example of 'up to you' usage here)

Here are some of words that sometimes can make me cringe when they are abused! But i used it myself without realizing it or to annoy other ppl hahaha! :P

* you know
* anyway
* wasit
* oh-emm-gee (omg!)

What is your non-offensive word that get on your nerves? Share it with me ;)

Stop Carrot Violence

2009-10-22T12:22:00.000+08:00

The illustration is plain cute :) But i love carrot coins (soup), carrot sticks (salad) and carrot cake (with cream cheese and pecan) hehehe!

Muffin by a noob

2009-10-18T00:26:00.000+08:00

Last night was very impromptu. I got my muffin mix from Shara and i decided to bake it on that day itself. It all started when i tasted Shara's muffin at her open house, it was soo sedap that i wanna try to do it. So from the office, went straight to the Pak Aji and bought corn oil, chopped nuts, milk and eggs. Since choc chips was out of stock, i went to another supermarket and to my disappointment it was out of stock as well. So i decided, to change the ingredient to Cadbury bar :P (sukati jer)

My sis and the family were in Penang, so i have the whole house by myself :) Since this is my first time baking muffin, so i'm kinda excited and nervous at the same time. Oh, i'm always nervous in the kitchen because i'm not a good cook (Well, you're looking at someone who hates cooking :>) So when im experimenting something it's better i'm all alone, lol! And thank god my sis organize and label all her kitchen stuff, so i found every single thing easily.

I poured all the mix into the bowl. Whisked the eggs in a separate bowl, add milk and oil. Then add everything together and stir until it moistened. Tabur grated chocolate and ready.

Set the oven to preheat. Susun all the cups and fill in the mixture. Cutekan the cup's design?

I was advised to fill in 1/3 full to allow room for expansion. Then sprinkled kacang sket kasik decor hehe.

Waited for 25mins to bake the muffins and tadaaaaa! Ada yang naik ada yang tak naik. Alahaiii! Cheep called while i was cebik looking at the muffins and he said "isokay, i will eat everything" hehehe okeh it's a promise then. Then called my sis to complain that my muffins looked soggy and she suggested to bake lagik 20mins because the oven cam tak betoi sket. So i waited another 20mins, took a shower and kemas balik all barang. By the time i took out the last batch, cam sama jugak but at least i know dalam dia dah konpem masak. So trus pack and tinggalkan sket muffins nak bagi the rugrats rasa even though i was a bit reluctant hehe.

Sampai SA, siap tinggalkan dalam keta dolu sbb segan nak bawak masuk. Pemalu yaamatzzzz! Awal plak tuh tertido sbb penat sangat rushing that evening. Later at night, Cheep bawak masuk the muffins and woke me up to tell me it tastes delicious. Hikssss!!! Sedap yerrr? Tolonglah abeskan! I ate one piece and back to sleep zzZ-.-zzZ

2009-10-17T23:30:00.000+08:00

Happy colorful Deepavali to all Malaysians

Ais Krim Soda

2009-10-17T14:10:00.000+08:00

The famous ol' skool ais krim soda. Lama giler tak rasa eskrem soda nie until i saw a bottle on my colleague's table. So i asked him to buy few bottles for me bebila dia balik kg kat Melaka. The next day he put 2 bottles on my table nak bagi rasa. Kesian tgk aku teruja sangat nak rasa kot. Hehe i opened one bottle to share with other opismates. Hoyooo sedappnyer! Rasa cam zaman budak2 when i sipped it. So makin ramai lah nak mengordernya because it's not something you can get here in KL at anytime.

The other bottle i brought back for Cheep to taste it. He said he never tried before. He kinda like it because less gas and something different.

Model eskrem soda long chan (^o^).

Most of my friends commented that this ice cream soda is a must have during raya open house back in kampung. Why eh takdek jual dalam tesco ker giant ker? Or at least kedai runcit ker? Just like the famous Teh Botol in Indonesia. The one in hypermarket is air kotak version which can't beat the one in the bottle.

Cover girl

2009-10-17T13:57:00.000+08:00

Ada cam cover girl for Wanita's magazine? Or nona ker? Lol! Ekceli i like the color combination, red and blue.

Depan pintu pon nak posing...asal boleh yedak? Yang kesian photographer lah letih layan hahaha.

Open house & Potluck

2009-10-15T22:19:00.001+08:00

On Wednesday morning my dept held a Raya Potluck, a session that everyone looking forward with eager anticipation. So everyone brought some foods and it turns out a massive one! Bleh makan sampai ke petang hehe.

I brought roasted chicken which i asked my sis to helped me out. Sib ler dia rajin tolong buatkan kalo tak mmg aku bawak cikedis jer. The roasted chicken in this picture is the one at far left. Nampak appetizing kan kan? Hehehe

Yang agak special nyer that day si padil, haikal and poji pakai baju melayu. huhuhu sangat sporting! Sbb ari jumaat pon dorang tak pakai baju melayu!

While waiting for everyone to gather, amik gambar sana sini sket. Gambar agak lebey exposure because ada flash depan muka kitowang sampai bleh buat silhouette kat blakang

Turn the guys plak. Silhouette dorang lagik menarik! Hehe

The last food to arrive, trans fat free peach cream cake sponsored by Kak Gee and Shida which they bought that morning at secret recipe.

Bacaan doa by Haji Kamal before we started to eat.

Then ATTACK! The main meals were mihun goreng, macaroni goreng, spaghetti bolognaise, sate, nasik impit, opor ayam, rendang ayam, sambal udang.

And we dig more food! Cekodok udang, karipap pusing, cucur badak, wedges, and homemade pizza. As for the dessert there were cocktails, choc cake, peach cake and fruits.

Eddin yang suker beno ngan opor ayam yang D bawak. Tak abes2 cakap sedap and boleh jadik calon bini. hahaha little he know that the dish was cooked by D's mom. Takkan nak jadikan mak D as calon bini kan? hahaha

More melantak photos. We also invited projects team members from the client side. Tak ramai lah cukup2 untuk food yang ada.

Not bad for our first potluck :) It really pulled off because banyak kakak2 yang bleh bawak main dish yang sedap2. kalo tak banyak makanan kering jelah hehe. Everyone seemed to really enjoy eating all the food and by petang we tapau mana yang tak abes so tada lah wasted.

Ekiden Run 2009 - The Story

2009-10-13T23:47:00.001+08:00

The marathon started at 8am. Haiyoo dahler nantok tada plak orang jual coffee kat stu. Tunggu lah sampai matahari pon naik. Banyak plak nampak muka familiar time tuh. And most of them i know mmg kaki marathon sbb slalu nengok their photos kat facebook. Tapik x sempat nak tegur except susu. Lepas balik tuh baru kecoh2 kat status & comment photos kat FB hahaha.

Then all the runners dah kumpul kat starting line. The Youth & Sports Minister launched the event.

And the minister joined the run as well.

Jeeb is ready to run! Dengan sash nyer macam miss world.

Pak peronda on duty for that day.

Medical tent to attend runners yang tegolek, tercramp, tersemput dan yang sewaktuh dengannyer.

There was Emma to keep me accompany. Kalo tak mmg aku main game kat iPod sampai habes battery. Around 9am camtuh azwan and cheep returned from their checkpoint to our lepak port. Sambil dorang breakfast, we started to check out runners yang dah sampai finishing line.

Macam2 gaya larian. Kalo aku yang masuk mmg takkan nampak aku lari lah...sure jalan je. But i doubt i will join any marathon hehe. If walking marathon count me in :)

Tunggu punyer tunggu while cheering for other team, baru lah muncul Alin. Go! go!

Hired pasukan sorak untuk meriahkan suasana hehe.

When the last runner reached the finishing line and baru lah the completed team pegi claim gifts. Yang paling bes dapat medal, besides that dapat certificate, koyok salon pas and balm.

Maka mula lah aksi gambar riak dengan medal hahaha!

Oh luper plak nak tulis tadik nama team dorang. Ini lah team 'Decepticon'.

And this is susu's team. There's her sister, bro in law and her friends.

So overall i enjoyed taking photos of the event even though i didn't run. Besides the weather was gentle that morning. Once in a while amik fresh air pagi2 is good wpon muka selebet nantok di khalayak ramai. Anyone knows about walking marathon lemme know yea, i'm interested to join ;)
