The day when my body goes headwire

I discovered I developed swelling at the tonsil last friday after a visit to the doctor. At first, I thought it was just normal recurrence viral fever that I had a couple of weeks ago during my trip to Sabah. That answers the reason to why I was having difficulty in eating. BTW, it comes i one package, fever, body aches, difficulty to sleep, lost of appetite (lucky thing it's the fasting month) and duh!weight loss. To be fank, my low immunity system kindda worries me. Everything inside my body seemed to fall to pieces lately. That includes my mood swing, my fast heart beat (and NO, to answer to my "collegue", I don't have anxiety disorder, but the symptoms are similar though),my spinning head, and oh!oh!my broken heart.

And if you guys notice the time, it's now 2.13 am, on a Monday earliest morning, and i just can't get my body to sleep. I swollowed twice the drowsy coughing medicine (2 x 10ml = 20ml), which was supposed to help my ease my painful throat and get me to sleep but somehow, it failed to perform it's job.Wonder if i take another 10 ml of it, what would happen? (Just kindding, I don't want to die sucidal okey!). And talk about my broken heart, I seldom write anything with regards to my inner feelings in this blog. I'm not comfortable to have people reading it and start their own judgement towards me. But well, since I've already kept my fav all time diary in the safest place, I guess I just have to write something to ease my mind over here.

Being 30, I guess I've come a long way to adulthood. When I was 15, i always wonder what I would be like 15 years later. Whether or not I'm having the best career in the world, Married or not (but at that age, I was always a feminist, and my motto "never ever bagi muka to the boys who think that they are smart"), having children and the ultimate one, whether I'm satisfied and content with what I would have achieved or not. So, here I am, at that age, and life is just ...hmm...let me see, normal.it's average. Break it to three things, Career, Marriage, Life as a whole.

Career
When I was a kid, like any other kids in the world, I've got so many ambitions. At 7, i wanted to be a soldier, because that's what noble people always wanted to be. Then, it changed, at 8, I wanted to be a teacher, because I enjoyed educating my friends in case they have difficulty doing their homework, at 9, it changed again, from teacher to THE LAWYER, maybe because it sounded just the right thing to do. And I sticked to that ambition until I reached the age 12-14, in which I wanted to be a physicatric Doctor, because I looked forward to being the so called Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya in school.Somehow, at the age of 15, it all changed when I had a trip to UM Hospital, and hearing talks by Jaafar,one of the medical student seniors there. From there onwards, I set my head to become a doctor. I studied hard for my SRP, earned 6 aggregates with all straight As and ventured to a boarding school. Then, after SPM, my ambition became clearer, nope, not the law, not even the medical school since I got C6 fo biology , I took a path that I'never ever listed in my head, engineering.

So, after 4 years of studying, here I am, with a degree in electrical engineering. Somehow, I'm always a very determined, hardworking and positive girl. And that statement doesn't actually come from me, it came from my father, family and my close friends. I would do my very best to achieve whatever things that come my way and even though it's never easy, at the end of the day, I would managed to do it. Somehow, down the road, that little girl just got too exhausted you see, and decided to take a break, and she made a promise not to overdo the stay. That little girl is me, and now, I'm just too tired to make my way towards climbing the career ladder, not to mention the corporate ladder, lagilah, dah lama aku tinggalkan statement tu. Cuma, I just don't know what is happening to me now, I'm so demotivated, so bored to death, so exhausted and so not knowing what to do and what is best for me anymore. Everyday to the office is a strugle to me. What is worse, aku nie macam orang yang takde arah jer, which is soo not me...

But this is not what I wanted my self to be. I'm sure zila 15 years ago would've hated to see her like this. Something has got to be done, and that was why I decided to try out the post in HQ. To seek new knowledge, to learn something new with a new environment. But come to think of it, that's another stupid mistake that I've done to myself. Cause from what i heard, it's messy there. The whole thing, the work, the HQ environment, and now, I'm stuck with what I consider the stupidest mistake of ones life. And to counter back, I had to face the management and voice out my thoughts and my fear. And at the end of the day now, I'm making so many people around me pening, right from my manager, my GM and the HR GM. So, there goes, what ever thing have i donelah to my career?So, fast forward 15 years, I've learned a lot of new things in my career, the work, the money, people's turst for power, back stabbing, office polictics, name it..But question is, at the end of the day, have i achieved what i wanted when I was 15?That will be another topic inside my blog.At least adalah jugak benda nak tulis kan.

Marriage
To be frank, I've never thought I would ever get married. The word itself scared the hell out of me. I couldn't imagine devoting my self to a husband, lagilah kids kan. Another thing, growing up, I was the kid every parents would dread for. I was very rebellious, and degil pulak tu. I managed to change all that when I entered boarding school though. Maybe because I was away from my parents and somehow, the seperation managed to improve my quality of behavior. Anyway, I was never the mushy mushy I love you, you love me , BF..BF type. In fact, I hated guys during my teenage days. Dare to approach me, and I would gave them THE look. Not just the normal average look, the "Sorry, aku tak minat nak bercintan cintun dengan ko, hellooooooo" look. Yep!that kindda look. And I never understood why my friends were so into this guylah, that guylah...

Then, it all changed when i was in college, when i had the deepest crush for the guy next door. Not any typical guy, he was 2 yrs my junior. I went head over heels for him. Even my friends noticed the difference in me. Sadly, a crush was just a crush, and at the end of the final year, although we remain friends till now, both went different ways and followed different path. So, where was i just now? ok, marriage, then, at the age of 25, after findings THE ONE, I decided it's highly time to get married. But that wasn't the easiest decision made ever. In fact, I would say i'm very poor at making BIG decisions in my life, until now you see. Can't blame the genes, because my parents are not like that. At that particular moment in time, I had many thoughts in mind, my dying brother, my freedom, my singlehood, and to overcome those, I followed my heart and with prayers.

So, here I am, married with the sweetest son ever. Am I happy, let's just say, yeh!I do and I'm content. And I'm lucky to have a hubby who doesn't abuse me, understands me and love me to pieces. Cuma, marriage have it's ups and downs, and I hate the down part. In fact, I'm facing it now, the down part, and it hurts. And I just don't know what to do. Unlike those days when you have friends you could talk to when you have the slightest problem, now, you just can't do that you see. It'll be crazy to call you friends in the middle of the nite to pour your heart out. Let alone driving the car in the middle of the nite and showing your red eyes and bloated face in front of their houses, it'll freak them out.

With that, I have to manage it on my own. But I just don't know how. Call me nuts, but I have a fair argument with him over the topic I came out last nite. Come onlah, just because I'm like this, you know, macam nie, macam takde perasaan nie,macam budak budak niee,,don't think I don't have the jelously feelings. And excuse me, call me nuts again, but please lah, even in my mail or my sms with other people to other GUYSSSS, never have i mentioned the k_ _ _ me word to others. And comelah, not the photos all over the place while I was trying to browse the web!!Even the *I don't know what" guy on earth know how to hide the photos in front of their girls kan...Get it!!Yeah!i know that it's just a joke and it was not mentioned directly and it was just a PLAINN jokeeeee but...ARGGG!pissed me off betul. I've never felt like this before. But now, I do.So, nie rupanya that J feeling, like shit it is rupanyer, but you see, i have a fair argument jugak kan ..and yes, call me nuts the third time again, comelah!! I don't take small kids as my rivals okey."Bring it on" a more senior version sketlah. Anyway, forget I ever written this. I just wanted to pour out what I have inside my head so I won't have to think about it over again.And I know, nothing is going on pun but the fact that if he were in my position and to see me writing such a thing, I'm sure he'll be blown like this too.


Come to think of it, after 5 years in the journey of marriage, sometimes I do feel it has lost its sparks. But don't get me wrong, maybe because of the working environment which causes us human being to loose our sense of fun and humor that we had during the college years.Maybe also, we found ourselves to tight up with our own problems and tiredness that we don't even bother to understand each other's feelings. Maybe there is just a lot of "maybes" . Some people say, If we can pass the digit 10 in our marriage, we would survive the rest of this marriage journey. For at that age, the marriage has reached it's maturity level. But question is, what if we don't ? what happen next?

So, back to the topic of marriage, do I doubt sometimes that my marriage is gonna work? As selffish as I may sound, I do, sometimes. Why? Because in marriage, lies trust, love, commitment and lust, and in marriage also lies betrayal, hurt, hate and revenge. But of course, being a muslim, I'm taught to believe in the power of Doa and qada' and qadar. I'm also just a normal human being, and I don't even know what lies ahead of me.


Anyway, where was I? shit!Like I said, I can't think straight rite now. My head is spinning and my throat is burning, and my body is aching, and so does my heart, Who shall I blame this time? aaah!yes, the hormone, since I'm down with the red flag now. Well, I guess i need to sleep now.

Candy Man

Here's one of my favorite video clips, and this one is by Christina Aguilera.."Candy man"..Lurve it!She looks oh!absolutely gorgeous in this clip...the hairstyle suits her, the face? vava voommmm!just like the old 1950s coke advertisement.The song is very catchy too.

Sexy Abs

Let's see, today i feell like talking about abs...not my abs...it's ABS..in general....I've downloaded a exercise video from self webpage last week, and part of my weekend activities was focused on strengtening my abs...(dah ketak sket...call me perasan, i don't care...but seriously....less flabby and guggly (ada ke word nie? who cares, i like this word) than before). And thank you blogspot for releasing the video uploading. At least I can place my favourites exercises here. At first glance when watching the video, you wouldn't feel a thing. Seriously! Yelah, no tightening and abs movement going what...but after trying the exercise, I tell ya, you'll have this cramping feeling at your lower back and other parts of the body as well, which can be translated into 2 meanings:

a) You're doing the movements CORRECTLY and feeling the contraction of your muscles .

b) Are you kidding me? You're absolutely trying to kill yourself with the wrong movement.

Do try this 3 times/week in non-consecutive days for promising result. Why do I sound like the advertising people pulak nie?

Cup cakes

I love cup cakes. In fact, I'm craving for one rite now. It's just very hard to resist and once you've got a taste of it, trust me, you just can't stop. It's like a ciggarete you see, except it taste a hell lot better. But of course, the maximum that I can take is two. More than that, it'll leave me bloating and the urgency to throw up.

What I like most about the cup cake is the frosting. They can come in different colors and with different patterns but with one conclusion, same level of sweetness. I like to eat mine by deeping my finger in the frosting and licking it. Yummy! .There was this one time I had a bad craving for cup cakes when me, hubby and firas were in KLCC. I made my way to the restroom while hubby had to take care of Firas. When I returned, hubby presented me with 2 cupcakes, which was nicely placed on a transparent box. It was a very sweet gift, as sweet as the taste. I didn't expect to find cupcakes in KLCC but according to hubby, the shop is kindda new. I can't remember the name of the shop though.

So, rather than buying cupcakes, I believe I should learn to make them by myself. I have to admit I'm not into making cakes & cookies, but it'll be a good try. In fact, I'm sure my son would love me for this. With that, my "Pencarian untuk mencari resepi cup cake akan bermula".....And when it does, let's just say I still have an excuse since I don't have an oven in the house to bake my cupcakes :)

Favourite photos

Among all the photos of our son, this is by far my most favourite...


It was taken during our U-alumni high tea this year. Firas wasn't in good mood the time we reached the place but after seeing kak anis' son, nafeez, (middle) his face just glowed.

And oh!oh!My favourite photo of hubby is definitely this. Let's just say I lurve guys wearing baju melayu (this include my father, my brothers)...They just look good in it you see. Somehow, it makes them look more gentlemen, and neat and more masculine...har!har!(What in the world am i saying nie,IGNORE, just IGNORE)

.Hubby's gaya? Let me see, I'll give you 8 out of 10...Reason being, Baju tu compang sketlah...and bahu senget sket.....and the misai, needs trimming...har!har!

It's just another manic monday

• I hate myself for hating Mondays!
• I hate myself for being sleepy today!
• I hate myself for letting my sickly son stays in his granpa's house while mama has to go to work!
• I hate myself for not doing anything at the office today!
• I hate myself for not fasting today!
• I hate myself for spending all my money to I don;t even know where until I'm left with less than RM100 today!
• I hate myself for hating myself at times!
• and last but not least, I hate myself for writing this!

So there goes my proclamation on the things I hate about myself. Lega sket!

Down with fever

I'm down with double F today, fever and flue since yesterday. Somehow, yesterday wasn't so bad since I managed to drive the car to KLIA to pickup hubby and drove to Putrajaya to have our breakfast. But today, I could hardly lift my head from the pillow and then there was a phone call at around 9.00 am in the morning from my collegue. I almost forgot that the fire fighting foam pump testing was supposed to be today.

Collegue: Shar, eh!ko tidur ke?

me : Mana ada, aku dah bangun dah. Tak sihat laa...Rasa nak demam (the fact I don't want

to sound as if I just woke up eventhough that's the actual fact)

Collegue: Camtu ko tak yah datang la.

Me : Aku datang nanti. Dah nak start ke?

Collegue: Tak. Nanti pukul 10 aku call ko lagi. Kite buat tengah hari sketlah aa.

Me : Okey

And there I was, staring at the wall, trying my best to close my eyes but couldn't. My head was still spinning when I made my way to the toilet. Went downstairs but nobody was around. Then I remembered that hubby, firas and my parents were having their Bfast at the mamak restaurant. I did feel like eating but I couldn't let my stomach empty. Had a bowl of cereal while watching the TV.

At around 11.30 am, my collegue called again.

Collegue: Eh, ko datang tak?

Me : Kul bape nak start?

Collegue: Lepas nie. Eh, ko tau tak tadi ada accident, crane jatuh.

Me : Crane yang mana pulak nie (Suddenly, my head felt heavy. There goes another CSI

investigation)

Collegue: Alah, crane yang buat gutter tu.

Me : Ko biar betul. Memain jer.

Collegue: Betul. Aku pun on the way nie.

Me : Aku siap lepas nie.

After waiting for hubby to return from the doby, we went straight to the station. Some of my office mates were already there, with the DGM and 1 manager. At the crime scene, there was this crane, tilted at the end side while the front portion was hanging in the air. It was raining heavily at that time and we had to proceed with the investigation while everything was still fresh.

What planned to be a fire fighting foam pump testing turned out to be something else. It took us around 3 hours to sort everything out. Shoot straight to my parents' in law's house to take my car at around 4.15pm.

As I'm writing this, nobody is in the house except for me and my 4 cats. All of them decided to go to my sis' house to taste her Soto. Me? Let's just say I'm trying to complete my AKP slides. Well, up until this time, I'm still not in the mood to do the slides. Err, I think my temperature is getting higher now. Somebody, please get me a panadol!!!

Here goes my definition of AKP:

AKP = $%#@!^&* S%^U$C#$K^&%$S%B&^I^%$G^T%$I$%#M%$E (if you know what I mean)

My Fitness plan for August 2007

I've drafted my very own fitness plan for the month of August 07. Looking at another perspective, I'm kindda glad that the trip to Italy has been postponed. This enable me to focus more on my training plans. (But yang, pleaselah try to push it before the year ends). Problem is, I'm not consistent when it comes to executing the plans. So, rather than keeping the plans hanging inside my PC, I've decided to include it inside my blog and get a printed copy pasted on my office wall to ensure it's being religiously followed.

Here's comes the plan:

Italy, please wait for me

I received a devastating news from hubby last week, about him returning to KL from Italy due to problems associated with visa and work permit. Don't get me wrong, it's not about him returning home becomes the devastating news, but the fact that I have to postpone my trip to Italy. I've been looking forward for this trip and haven't being progressing well in office lately.


There's a lot of things need to be re-organized such as:

a) Picking up my cutie cats from Nannie Annie who is ever willing to take care them for 3 months straight (And yes, I do pay for the cats' accomodations and mahal pulak tu..isk!)
b) Reschedule my training regime with Jane
c) Postponement of my unpaid leave and explaining to the management the reason behind it.
d) Reschedule my flight to italy and from what i heard, it's fully booked in October.
d) and the list goes on and on and on

According to hubby, it'll take around 1-2 months for the permit to be issued. Yeah rite! It takes the company a business class trip to Italy for them to discover that err..well, the new regulation just took effect 2 weeks ago....

I do hope the whole document will be ready by middle of October so that i can still proceed with the plan.

Hubby was thinking to bring me somewhere (tioman eh, or was it sabah???) to mend my broken heart kot....But as for now, i don't feel like going anywhere for this heart of mine is still burning with fire.

Gym dilemma..

I'm not an athletic person at heart but i do believe that I'm quite active. I discovered that staying active is the only thing that keeps my mood and energy high. Question is, why is it lately i feel so worn-out? I'm sure it's got nothing to do with my mood swing since i've passed the cycle a couple of weeks ago.

Now, now... I'm not going to rumble about my emotions you see. I've got an appointment with my gym instructor today and I just don't feel like going. Not that i'm making excuses not to go but I feel a sharp pain on my calves due to previous day's training and I'm pretty sure if i continue today's appointment, it's going to get worse. I guess i'll just tell Jane that i prefer to focus on my upper body and not doing vigorous training on the treadmill.

The worst part is, i didn't even take my breakfast today and while on my way to HQ to see my GM, i drove straight to McD for a set of Quarter Pounder Medium Set. Ahhh!So much of exercising betul...How will i ever blast the fat at my butt nie..

Hubby chatted with me yesterday and told me to update my blog. Yeah, the blog hasn't been updated since God knows when....and i'm just soo not in the mood to write anything now, and my laziness has reached tahap cipan....isk!what did i ever do to be this hopeless? What to write lah yang, my days consists of routine things, getting up from bed (eh!no..tilam lah, since i've been living in my mom in laws house since the day you went away and the fact that firas and me lurve to sleep under the cold air condition.), rushing to work, do this and that, running around, going to the gym, returning to firas and sleep while waiting for the sunshine to rise the next morning....

I've got a lot of things in my head lately, things that i'd rather keep to myself...(ladies do have secrets, ok)....but okeylah, to tell you the truth, i'm looking forward for the trip to the city of renaissance...olala!the leaning tower of pisa, the food, the hot looking guys (har!har!gotcha)... most importantly, the fact i can get away from my boss.

Some people ask me, do i care about taking unpaid leave to got to italy? Nope. Do i care it's going to effect my promotion? Hmm, nope. Do i care it's going to effect my pre-retirement benefits? Nope. Do i care if my boss cares? Hell no!

So, italy, I'll be seeing you next month. And yang, I'll try to find something nice to say after i manage to tune my head.

My first day of fitness first

Promises are meant to be broken. This words are meant for me indeed. I've made a promise not a very long time ago that I'll never ever register myself as a gym club member. The novice triathlon event howevr changed my perception towards fitness club. After strugling with stamina, strength and endurance problem during the event, i've made a profund thought about joining my hubby in Fitness first (FF). After consulting my sis and doing a bit of study and vice versa, I walked my steps to FF on wednesday nite.Before i go on, allow me to state the reasons why i dread going to the gym:
1) I dont like doing my excercise on crowded places full of people. Makes me suffocate.
2) I hate doing excercise inside a confined area. Again, makes me suffocate.
3) I can't bear running on the treadmill while watching the TV on-screen. Seems to me the world stops spinning but the track keeps on moving jer.ayaya! And again, makes me suffocate.

But of course, time and again i have to remind myself that 'I really need to set a proper training' in order to ensure my fitness level is at the highest par before i can compete in another Marathon, Traithlon and all other THON THON competition. With that, I also hire my personal trainer, Jane and the training session begun by her asking me to do a complete set of weight training for the upper body and lower body, flexibility, streching and a test on the cycling machine to see how far i can reach before i turn all blue. Suprise !Suprise, all these while i thought my fitness rating is around 5/10 but as it turned out, it was actually 2/10 (according to Jane)...mampos camni....sah kena bertungkus lumus cam nak rak lepas nie..and why is it i felt sooooo bloody sleepy while I'm writing this? Hmm...guess my energy level depletes kot....

Advanced Bday present

I'm never a person who'd like to lavish those dear to me with birthday gifts & cards. Come to think of it, I must have gotten this trait from my dad. Seriously, it's not something that I'm proud of. Since I got married to my hubby, I can count the number of times i've purchased a suprise card/gift for him. There was even this one time (last year), where i've forgotten to wish him during our anniversary. Ouch! That really suck!No, I suck BIG TIME.

With that, for this year, I made a promise to actually spend my money to buy something superior for my hubby. All these while,I've made promises to buy a PSP, a mini piano etc but decided to change my mind the very last minute when i discovered that the price of it errrr...kindda expensive.

Well, dear. Not this year though. I've excercised my ESOS money and since I'm a little excited over the thought of entering a triathlon and a dualthon this year, I've draged my hubby to cycle along with me. (I bought a hybrid bicycle recently which cost me around RM 1, 050.00 but it's worth the penny since it's fast, its light and it rocks!)

Problem is, he doesn't have a bike on his own. So, to cut the story short, I decided to present him with a road bike as an advanced birthday present. Since he was ok with that, the search for his bike went on. My budget is limited to RM 1,500.00. Our first destination was to bikepro, a high end bicycle shop which have variety of choices to choose from. But none of the bicycle there fits my budget. With that, we went to Tat Seng, the place where I bought my bicycle. The shop was about to close when we reach there at around 7.40 pm but the owner (kelvin) was kind enough to entertain us with our bombarding 101 for DUMMIES questions on bicycles. Hubby was so energized when he saw the bike and after given much thought about it, we finally met the perfect bike for him. So, here's the new buddy that I have for my dearest hubby:

For a road bike that fits the bill as an entry level bike, I swear that the bike is a value added item. Of course, It's a bit heavier as compared to my bike but it's ok since the size is bigger than my Scott USA and the tyres are thicker.

Somehow, I have no regrets buying him this as a birthday present coz i could see his face beaming with joy when he looks at it. By the way yang, jangan buat display sudah beskal tu...ari sabtu nie kena gak bawak gi ke putrajaya for a try out.

polar watch vs polar bear

My watch was found to be defective since last week and while waiting for hubby to complete his mini-olympic in Uniten on a Saturday (and due to the fact that firas was crying his heart out after seeing a clown), i decided to bring firas to Alamanda. The first shop I entered was Fitness Concept. Actually, I've been aiming to purchase this polar watch for quite some time and after reading the webpage at http://www.polarusa.com/, I decided to head on my search for this watch. And mind you, it was easier when hubby is not around coz he'll be asking me to ' write a justification report' on the reasons to purchase this watch.

So, here goes yang:

1) I need a new watch to replace the defective one

2) Which can do the function of calculating my heart rate, timing during excercise, calorie count and etc

3) to pamper myself after long working days

4) just excercised my ESOS, so, gile koselah sket bila nampak duit tu kan..

So, there i was, browsing through the pamplets and looking through deciding the best watch that fits me and most importantly, fits my pocket...It kindda gave me a slight headache when Ibrowse through the catalog coz banyak nor gadget statement..har!har!I'm sure my mother would definetely 'lurve' this kindda gadget since she's indeed Mrs. Gadget. (she couldn't help resist buying all sorts of electronic goods and later, anak menantu dia yang nak kena teach her on how to use) Since my budget is limited to RM 450-RM500, i chosed the Polar F6, which has the following functions:

1) ECG heart rate - to monitor your heart rate

2) Calorie counter - to of course monitor the calories you've burn after an excercise

3) Max and Min heart rate

4) Mode of excercise (light, medium, hard)

5) Distance etc

6) ada banyak lagi, dalam manual tu...(safe statement to counter back in case hubby says anything)

The one thing i dislike about the watchthough is the size. It's kindda bulky on my wrist in which doesn't really suit me. Secondly, the color is kindda dull (blueish grey). Anyway, since i already like the watch for the functionality ("What is style, without substance" tul tak??), and having much thought about it at the shop, i agreed to pay the bill. Firas didn't like it, coz he sincerely said " not nice mama." Well, i'm sure he would have preffered the polar bear instead:

I managed to wear the watch for only 2 days since i discovered that the 'lights on' function was not working. So, yesterday, i went to Alamanda again to get a replacement and guess what, it can actually function but i need to perform a few settings on the screen before the 'lights on' function can be activated. Eureka!and why didn't i think of that??Because i was so excited wearing it here and there until i have forgotten to read the manuals completely..oh!well, silly me!

photos during the sukan wanita triathlon novice

yea!and the game is over!!

My colleague laughed her heart out when she saw this photo "you look like a small kid" oh well!Gotta to thank my height for that. Who says being short is a disadvantage?It sure does rewind ones biological clock...

oh God, at last, the suffering is over!

Novice triathlon result

I've just checked my result on my first ever triathlon event and well, guess i did okey. Out of around 21 participants, i clocked in at number 18 with 1:05:06. The breakdown of the timing is as follows:
- 200 meters Swimming:15 minutes (what the hell took me so long?? oh yeah, , the fact that i was definitely pathetic at that time)
-8km cycling :35 minutes (Need to improve on the timing, need to..the best cycling timr for the novice category was at 23 mnts, gosh! she's fast)
- 2 km running :14 minutes (This is errr..kindda okey)

So, all in all, way to go jijie!for the fact i've challenged myself to participate in this race, to bear the humiliation of swimming in the lake when even the ducks can swim wayyy better than me, to endure the blistering wheather, and to comprise on the pain that i had during the run, with that, i should give myself a credit.
