Energizer Night Race 2010

I know it's been 3 weeks since Energizer Race.

I have to say that Energizer Race is one of the most well-coordinated runs that I've participated in thus far. Kudos to the organizing team. If there's Energizer Race in Malaysia again, I'll surely participate :D

The Energizer Night Race was my second ever full marathon. I have to say that I didn't prepare enough for this race. I was physically not as fit as when I went for the Penang Bridge International Marathon last November.

I've managed to finish the 42km in 5:03:44.87!! I have to say that I missed my target of under 5 hours but it was still a fairly satisfactory result considering my lousy physical condition. A better strategy definitely worked for me this race :D


Went for the run with Wing and Feng but met many other people that I know from MMU. They're either running or manning the drinks station. Other than that, we also met Sis. Sharon and Ming Hui (not sure if I got it right)


The run was really tiring. I took a 2 week break from running and just started running this week. Thanks to my laziness and demotivation

NEXT UP! KL Marathon --> 27 June 2010

Stressful Weeks

It's been a rather stressful 1 week with 1 more week to go. All the assignments are not coming due this soon but I have made myself a goal to finish everything by this coming week. This will give me approximately 2 weeks to settle my revision for finals before I go for it.

Strategy, Corporate Accounting, Securities Investment, Advanced Taxation (individual and group) assignments and Advanced Management Accounting mid-term exam. It's starting to take its toll on me physically and mentally already. When you have to supervise people's work in most of the assignments, it becomes a heavy burden when they don't produce the work that you expect. Then I'll usually end up with editing their work so much that sometimes it won't even look like what they sent to me

Now that these assignments are pounding my schedule like shit, I don't even have time to go running! One of the reason is because I'm lazy after the Energizer Night Race la... But another reason is because I'm rather busy lately XD

Ciaozz

Time to Change My Comp?

It feels like it's time for me to change my computer. I just had to reformat my computer again for the 3rd time in the past 6 months (that's very frequent imo). It becomes more frustrating when you have work to do on the computer that needs Internet, only for it to not perform properly when you need it most =(

I don't know what happened to the driver but somehow, my computer is not able to connect to the Internet (for God knows what reason). I ended up without Internet for 24hours before I decided to reformat the computer. Now, I'm left without that many software in my computer. Have to collect it slowly once again

I suppose I need a strategy to enable me to reformat my computer very fast. I was thinking of keeping my Drive (C) light on data (only program files) so that I can reformat it almost immediately when problems come up.

The Best Socks I've Worn

Before I go on, I should state that I did not receive any kind of endorsement deal from adidas or any other brands. I'd love to get paid for endorsing these brands though =D

As someone who exercise rather often, I'd say that socks is one of the issues that I face. It was only yesterday that my sister wanted to give me a thin sock that she doesn't want. I knew it right away that the socks will tear after I've worn it 3 times.

While we're at it, I'd like to promote adidas sports socks (the thicker ones). They're by far one of the most durable socks that I've ever worn before. The fabric of the socks are the cotton-like fabric which is good for absorbing sweat. Aside from that, the thread on the socks don't come off that easily. Thus it doesn't tear that easily when your toe nails rub against the fabric.

Another kind of socks that I find very durable is the Levi's cotton socks (usually worn with dress pants and leather shoes). They're a bit warm for the feet when you're wearing it in your leather shoes but extremely comfortable when wearing it with sports shoes. The cotton which is good at absorbing sweat ensures that your feet feel comfortable during your session of exercise.

If you happen to have worn other durable socks, let me know. I can QC them for you =D
