sunny rain

it was rainy

but the sun is shining

everyone is happy

cause weekend is coming!

:)

bila Ramadhan telah berakhir

..semua kembali seperti sediakala.

Tiada lagi bangun awal-awal pagi dan makan dengan mata separuh katup.

Tiada lagi meredah traffic jam subuh-subuh adam ke tempat kerja sebab nak meredah traffic jam pulang dari tempat kerja seawal 4.30 petang.

Tiada lagi bergigih menongkah arus umat manusia dalam kelesuan di bazaar Ramadhan sambil mata berpinar melihat pelbagai juadah yang nampak menarik tapi belum tentu sedap.

Tiada lagi bersengkang mata menahan ngantuk semasa terawih sambil berharap imam baca surah pendek-pendek/laju-laju.

Tiada lagi kumpulan-kumpulan tadarus mengaji al-Quran bersama-sama pada waktu rehat di tempat kerja.

Tiada lagi tidur berjemaah dengan rakan sepejabat sebab tidur jauh lebih baik dari buat perkara-perkara lagha.

Dan tiada lagi berjaga malam dengan penuh tenang dan yakin sebab setan semua sedang dirantai.

"Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin."

Semoga amalan baik yang kita usahakan sepanjang Ramadhan dapat terus dikekalkan sepanjang tahun.

:D

However way you extend your well-wishes, I believe that it's the thoughts that counts. Thanks peeps, really appreciate it! :D

Happy New Rabbit Year, 2011 and 1432H to all! :)

number cruncher

In the 25km Newton Run 2010:

My bib number: 2345

My ranking number: 111

My gun time: 3:45:41.58

My chip time: 3:43:20.13

:)

All this beautiful play of numbers make me smile despite the fact that the lovely bib number didn't help make my run any faster, the ranking number means I'm nearer to the bottom of the rank than to the top of it, and the timing says I walked more than I ran.

It was the longest distance I ever tried so far, and what a gruesome first-time experience this one was! That Sunday was indeed a sun day, which seemed like the hottest day of the hottest days in Malaysia that you could feel the sun clawing your back and you'd feel just like being flipped in a frying pan when the course then changed facing the sun; the whole route was all hilly it felt like going through a roller coaster ride on foot; there were no distance markers could be seen except for the last 5km; only a small number of medals  were available for the superfast runners and no finisher's medals given to the more slow-but-steady majority; and there were no goodies, no food/fruit/refreshment/drinks (except for a bottle of mineral water. And we later found out the Milo lorry was long gone before even half of the runners were done), no nothing offered to exhausted runners upon finishing albeit the RM60 'roller coaster' ticket paid. :(

But yay the finisher's tee is cute and we the back of the pack rembat 2 each to compensate the absence of a finisher's medal! Hah! :D

"2 helai", kata Sang Perembat.

Oh but now seeing that the :( paragraph is much more long-winded than the :D paragraph, I wished that I had snatched 4 tees instead...huhuuh.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Kalau ada adik-beradik berperangai sengal, ampunkan sajalah mereka.
