Check point: Day #80
Red light
Whenever I was at the front line during red light traffic, I felt deep satisfaction leaving behind other cars like 300-400 meters by zooming ahead! On Tuesday, as I was driving back after work (not yet 5pm, but then I arrived at the office before 7am) I stopped on the right lane at the traffic light with a junction going to the left. There was a Viva on the left lane. My eyes was on the traffic light on my RHS of the road for those coming out from the T-junction. I admitted I wasn't paying enough attention when the light turn green for our side, thus the Viva marched ahead of me - BANG!!!! The last car coming out of the junction chasing after the yellow light clipped the front corner of the Viva. Ouch...I am so thankful it wasn't me going fast as always when the light turn green. It could have been me being hitted! Ok-ok never again...
Missed my Friday noon aerobic sessions!
Since July, when we stopped the sessions due to Ramadhan & then followed by Eid. I was supposed to start it again by mid August, postponed to September and then I remember that I was not supposed to commit myself to it anymore since I want to be able to go anywhere and anytime (on and off campus) for my s*bbatical leave. And the instructor told me the the good news that finally nailed the coffin so to speak, she's pregnant! But actually, she offered to recommend her friend to replace for the time being, but I declined.
It hit me yesterday why am I getting slower and worsen my track record in all my running event lately...no more aerobic sessions which took care of my cardiovascular high-intensity exercise! All I have been doing is the normal 2,3 times weekly hit the gym session with 30-60 minutes on the treadmill, inclusive of the warming up and cooling down, I stretched using the dumbbell for some resistance in movement, used the ball for hip rotation too. That is all to it! No wonder my half-marathon time was not improving.

Day #85
For a few seconds, my moment of weakness indeed, I almost ...I thought of how easy it was to send a message and the cycle will start all over again! So, I cried a bucket of tears again ...much easier nowadays.
Race report for November 16th
I thought it was my personal best so far, less than 2:45! Only to be told (& confirmed by everyone else) that we ran for only 20.1 or something instead of the required 21.1! Blamed the organizer!
The event started at 3:30am for me and S*rah, while Maz's veteran at 4:00am. We reach Qu*ensbay Mall before 2am, to catch the shuttle bus. I woke up, not so fresh at around 1am, but it's ok since I already expected not to be able to sleep thru the night. After all, I picked up S*rah at the airport around 10pm and then Maz came before 11pm.
There was no hills, except 1 incline immediately up the span of the new bridge and upon returning. Two lanes, crowded. Especially at the u-turn where it became two-way traffic - horrible enough for HM but worst for 10km!
5 years of service
Nothing exemplary to share. Next door colleague had his promotion as early as in August this year after 5 years service. Then another colleague last month (but she has had like 8 years of service). Tomorrow is the start of my 'study leave' but I'm not going anywhere.. I'll have other opportunity in the coming 21 years of service insyaAllah.
I asked a person to be my 2nd guarantor, she said she already be one for a colleague from another school. The thing is i was the guarantor for two of my senior colleagues at the same time. All in, i was the guarantor for a total of 5 of them. The thing is, it has to be one under 40 yo! Thus, I may need to tuck in my tail between my legs and ask my next door colleague nicely...
Another person was promoted to the highest position as an academic (from my point of view). I remember my disappointments with her. I wonder if she remembers at all ...but I do!

Travelogue October
Prologue: Today is actually 5th of November already. I got my electricity bill yesterday, an insult to my austerity measure, an unacceptable RM22.02! After all, I already calculated, I was away for about 12 whole days in October. I have an almost empty fridge (& pantry too), no AC but I did use the vacuum last sunday for my one miserable carpet!
First, going back to my hometown for E*dul Adha. I already planned to drive south but at the last minutes, my brother told me to book a flight & he'll pick me up. I choosed AA so that I touched down in kl*a2 instead of S*bang.
Totally forgot that I had many things to bring home: ordered cookies x5 by my sister, maruku x5 (but I sold 2 & kept at home 1), jeruk & only a change of attire for Eid morning - not even telekung.
Return flight delayed. Mad at AA. Drive to e-port on Saturday morning for my 6:30 flight, left my car at the carpack & came back late on Sunday night, collected my car again (paid RM48 for 2 days parking) and reach home at midnite.
Second, travelled to Subang for BSN Putrajaya Night Marathon. I ran 21km category again with Maz. Our 4th actually. I threw out after the finishing line. Mabuk air or too much water, according to my bro who wanted to video-ed me towards the finishing line, came prepared with a phone call (another 2km to go!) but alas, he waited at the wrong side of the road, for the 10km! Sheesshhh
Why I would never ran alone? Maz helped to rub my back, with medicated oil ...horrible experience indeed puking in front of many people! From my peripheral view (looking down while holding on to the railing by the roadside), I saw people dispersing away from me! Like I was going to burst with horrible sickness. maz picked me up on Saturday noon for our 12:30 flight & came back late on Sunday afternoon at 2:30pm (in time for the AGM of my building), Maz's daughter picked us up again and I reach home before 3pm.
Third, travelled to Medan for a conference. Included package tour to Danau Toba. What I remember most, the diarrhea and lots of wind in my bloated tummy. And eventually I succumb to fever & lots of phlegm - euwwww. But still no MC. Completed the course of antibiotic and all the other medicines. Scheduled flight originally was on Wednesday, 15th. Received notification of delayed to 16th. Too lazy to bother with going to KL & then only Medan if we were to maintain the original date. K.Ct picked me during her way to e-port. Came back on Sunday 8:30pm, hitched a ride back home again with K.Ct.
Forth, hopefully the last one for this month - my secondary school friend's wedding which was called off but after I booked my tickets. It will be a day trip, 12 hours in fact. On last Sunday of October, I drove to e-port for my 9:30am flight. Came back at 10:30pm & drove home (paid RM12 for parking).
I totally forgot to count in my workshop held at the 'nearby' beach (still on the island), 4D/3N of working hard till late evening but I enjoyed the morning walks/jog along the roadside & beach. Waiting for sunsets too.
Epilogue:
Day 71! I made it this far...4 days extra from last count. May I made it really to Dec 5th insyaAllah. I pray that we never meet again, at least until after I'm recover fully.
Oh, I'm running of gas too, for cooking - aiyahhh....
