Runnin'

Hey there. Gonna update something on you guys (what I meant by "you guys" is myself, since i'm the sole reader of this blog) about last Sunday where I joined my first half marathon (HM) and fourth overall.

Hamid did asked me to join him for the full marathon but I declined cause I wasn't ready for such big hurdle, especially after my last official HM where I finished just 45mins before the cutoff time of 4 hours. It was a mess.

This year I had a unofficial HM as a preparation for the official event. I clocked in 2hrs32mins then, but it was just a flat surface, no hills to run in. So I was expecting myself to finish it at around 2:45hrs.

Scared myself to death when I did my warm up and my legs got this cramps and the run was about to start. Praying hard to God that I can finish it either way. Standing at starting line with this nervousness of not be able to even run but eventually it feels lighter and lighter. Before I know it, I ran straight to the 10km without stopping (except for the first hill, where I know I can't run on it).

I was proud of myself cause I have this goals that I will make a turn at the first checkpoint before sun is up and I did it. I keep on running and even met Hamid at 12km or more, and ran past him. But it didn't mean anything since he had run since 2am while we just started at 5am.

I arrived at the stadium just before 735am. It was an amazing feeling to run to the finish line. It brought back the memory of me competing for 3k in Stadium UiTM Shah Alam where I went second to last. I almost wanna stop but then I keep telling myself that I only have 400m to go, just go for it bitch. Dark Horse by Katy Perry was playing in that moment, so I sprint to the finish line like a dark horse.

And, good news, I got my personal best (PB) for HM with 2hr25mins. I don't know how am I gonna top that but Xtina once said to me, just keep getting better. Looking forward to more PB. I have one HM in mind, Bintulu this July but not sure if I'm free at the time. Anyway, here are some pictures from the event last Sunday.

The best part about the day was when I was with him, sitting in the parking lot, talking about things and when i'm about to leave, he told me to stay cause he wanted to sing me a song. Perfect by Ed Sheeran. How can I not fall in love deeper when he does that? He is perfect to me. I was smiling all the way from our chilling spot and to these days. The way he look at me when I'm about to leave was everything I needed, like he don't want me to go. He's a 10. Still, since 2012.

First drama of 2018

So, the drama for 2018 has already begun. Wow. I'm that bitch. Anyway, here's the back story. I worked for this small company for about a year and 3 months. All those times, i was never confirmed as an employee. meaning i'm still under the probation period. and they make it clear for me that i'm not confirmed, with every week, they'll told me that they can't confirmed if I don't buy a car. I can't afford a car w my salary as the car seller told me, if I want an Axia, I need at least $1500 salary and mine is like 300 below that. I always told them, I will buy it when my sister is ready too, as she will be the first name owner of the car. And my sister told me, she only can do so this year. So, I told my company that I will buy a car this year. Maybe in January. Who knows. Because of the intense pressure from them and I got a job offer, I quit my job after the new year with 24 hours notice. And the drama ensued. My company told me that I can't qui...

Today, I'm going to tell you guys, about my mom which many of my friends do not know. Every time when someone talking about cleaners, i get very sensitive most of the time. My mom, Tida Bo, work as cleaner before i could even reading to support our family. She working in many places before settling down in Shell's Main Office at Miri (not the pumped station, ok?) Here the picture : She work like there was no tomorrow and really hard. Even though, some of her higher education colleagues always look down on her, she never gave up because she know, she still have us to support of. I know, if me and my siblings are already got stable job, never ever she would stay there. Her spirits is always beyond any of us. That's one of the million reasons why she inspired me the most. Although she did not attend school and didn't even know how to read, we can see that if she had the chance, she would be more genius than the rest of us. Maybe in another life, mom. Love you. So, every ...
