Finally, Its Over!!

Ha! Finally its all over. I did it! Having to finish the Standard Chartered Marathon on Sunday fullfil my 17 years urge to run again. But my biggest prize was that, my wife also finished it with me!!! How many couples can do it together?? In actual fact, not many will be as lucky as me.

After Saturday Mui Cheng and Ken Big 'who ha' marriage at Raffles Hotel, we went straight home to rest and that was almost 12 midnight. We woke up at about 2.45am and started to prepare some food for breakfast and we head back to town again. (less than 4 hours)

While walking to the starting point, met some sgrunners fellow, namely Roonz, Sotong and Bee. My wife and I started the run strong, it was only at 28km mark, my wife felt a tiwst on her upper right groin. The pain was so great that she could not run at all.

With one leg limping, we have got no choice but to walk on the rest of the journey. I have advised her to give up but she insisted that she is ok to walk. From there, She kept saying it a torture, but I just laught it off loh.

Our finishing time wasn't that fantastic. We took 7hrs 45min to complete the marathon, but one thing for sure, I am pround of her spirit and courage to take up this race.

SCM 2007 is the last event of the celendar year. Its time to 'close' my event planner too. Till next year (which is couple of days later) I will 're-opened' the chapter of excitment. Meantime, I have to maintain my running spirit high and I am sure 2008 will be another fruitfull year for me!

Tapering

What is tapering?? To eat more or to rest more? I can't figure out. Anyway, I have been eating more than usual. Yesterday dinner portion was really huge. I also felt that I am becoming more lazy (maybe due to over eating) Dun really feel like moving at all. Hehehe.

5 more days to race, I am quite excited about it. Being able to stand on the start line again makes me like bouncing back to those good old days. I hope that I can and will do more of this stuff next year since there are more races. After the SCM, I will have to brush up by swimming for the next triathlon. I may have to find a coach to guide me in swimming and adjust the technical aspect of my style.

Maybe, I join the sgrunners for a swim in near future.

9 Years Liao.

It has been a wonderful 9 years.....9 years ago, we signed out happyness on the marry certificate and put on the 'commitment' rings for each other and said 'I do'....I have enjoy every moment with my wife, Linda!!!

Since the day i met her, that was almost like 17 years ago, we are enjoying every moment of our life, together. That is why we don't do things on our own or on seperate occasion. Every thing is togetherness, that is how we enjoyed and froster our relationship.

Our relationship is a unique and special in some many ways, dun believe ask her next time if you meet her. we never qaurrel over small matters. Infact, I think we have never qaurrel or have any argument in those wonderful 9 years. Dun ask me how I did it, I also dun know why?? This is why it is a unique relationship. Hehehehe.

So long my heart beat, its beating for her! So long I am still breathing, I breath for her existence. I will always love her, like the first day I met her. This song that you're listening is 'Through the Years' by Kenny Roger is for my wife, Linda

At Last

After almost for one month, I stopped swimming because of tight project schedule at work. Hit out for the swimming pool during lunch time on thursday. I jumped into the water and started to swim liao as the water was really cold.

Cannot tahan, the water is freezing!!! I swam for 16 laps and felt good about it. Maybe it just too long that I did not swim liao.

Wednesday, together with my wife, Linda, we went for a quick run. Will this be our finally run before our marathon? We shall see.

Report Card Results

Well, to start off, I was pretty busy for the whole week, only managed to run on Monday and that all. Friday did received good news and bad news.

Bad news is, I was not selected for further interview with Broadcom for the position of Asia Pacific Corporate Affair Manager (APCAM). The good news is my friend got a good compensation from his company, but he will have to stay for 8 months.

As for me, I got a exceptional well performance for my job appraisal. Hopefully, this will lead to more bonus this year, who knows maybe 4 months.....Hehehe...

Evening, went for a half island cycling with L&T team at 8.30pm to Yishun and back to Tampines. This is the first time I managed to get home by 11.00pm.

Saturday ok lah, alittle shopping trip along Orchard. Sunday I 'Nuan' at home. Supposed to do my last LSD, but because the whether played evil in the evening, thus my LSD was cancelled. I felt guility for not running. Very guility about it.

Weekend Mood

Saturday. Yea!!! My wife and I went out to have a seafood dinner together with Vincent and his wife, Yi Tian. We have chilli crabs, black pepper crabs and some other stuffs. The place is loacted at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Jumbo Seafood. Seats and tables are placed along the kallang river side overlook the beach river area. Romantic huh! Nice food with great companion!! Wah la! The bloody bill acme out to be like $142. Lucky we have got a $50 dollars voucher to offset the total bill.

Thereafter our dinner, we went to Bugis for a short shopping trip. As usual, ladies will shop and men will play arcade games. Hehehe.

Sunday morning. I was woke up by my wife. She insisted for a LSD. I was telling myself, why morning??!! I thought we should do it in the evening time?! Well very reluctant we went for our usual distance LSD, 20km. At about 5km, I do feel comfortable going on anymore. At 10km, I 'hit the walk.'

This is the first time, I actually 'Hit the Wall.' Totally cannot run. No more energy to move on, as what was descripted in the forum as well as Jodan explaination. I have never hit those thick wall.

My wife was nice, even she has got energy to expand, she waiting for me at some land mark. From there we walk home. Imagine 10km walk. (from Parkway parade to Tanan Merah MRT).

I declared this as my worst run in history(DNF)!! Totally disappointed, discouraged and disgraced as I cannot believe that I hit the wall at 10km.

Monday, I called my Shifu, Ultra. I shared with him my run on Sunday. After discussion, we conclucded that, I did not have proper breakfast and in actual did not take any.

In the evening, I need an affirmation, I decided to go for a quick run to reassure myself. Went for a short, quick, fast and furious run 7km run. I felt ok leh?! So it confirmed the 'breakfast' problem. Hehehe...

Busy......

Well I have a really busy week, because increase in work load and new project which I have to stick to a real tide time line. Every thing is going according to my plans, so no worries at the moment. It seems that my mood is turning for the better, but the stupid weather is taking me down. I HATE RAINING DAYS!!!! My colleagues always said, 'Will you moods seems to ties with the weatehr huh?' Mine answer is 'That's affirmation!'

Honest, I have not be running my last run was on Sunday a close 20km that's all. I have hell lots of excusses why i am not running but most of them of just plain lazy. Secondly, the weather 'luck' is not on my side. When I tend to do something, it will rain like mad! So excuss myself loh.

3 more weeks to SCM, kindly mix feeling. Do or die dun ask why. Just Do It!! Yesterday Afternoon, while I was in the office, a human resources head hunter called up for a quick meet up. It has been a long long time since HR-HH called. Hehehe. Like I still got some value in the market. Hehehe....

I really hope this week I can hit 28km and this will be my last LSD liao. No time really no time. Better do something or else I am will be in trouble for this year Marathon!!!!

SCM 2008. 42.195km Here I COME!!!!

Unfortunate Week

I have really nothing to share as my mood was low......low...low... over the week. The whole bloody week was 'damaged' by some clown... Today is 3 Nov 2007, I planned to go Subaru Challenge happening at Orchard, as this is my annual affair since 5 years old. But this year, I will have to give it a miss as I have projects task by company, so no choice.

I also forego Osim Triathlon because of the Subaru Challenge. Timing is real bad this year. Thus, no accommplishment. So Sad!!!

When down to race site, East Coast Park to cheer for Jodan, airsolocan and Sywog. They were doing good and coping very well. If I know the situation eariler, I may have make a choice to participate in the Triathlon. hai......

Nevermind!!! Today is a brand new week!!! Time for a wake up call!!! I will lift my spirit high and start all over again. Stop running for 2 weeks liao. Time to wake up for SCM.

Weekend Hurray!!!

I love weekends!!! Saturday, went for another shopping trip to DFS. Wife was debating or whether to buy that 'stupid' coach sling bag that cost like $470. I was telling myself. With this 'huge' sum of money, I can buy all my 'Fe-Tong-Lan-Teh'.

That mean, more money to buy bike stuff. Hehe. Wah, I can change my handle bar, add in a carbon strike bar, Profile Desgin. Get a new Orca Tri singlet. Maybe do a little bit for the charity too!!! As it have been a long time since I last visited a old folks home, that was 4-6 months ago. Time to buy something for them liao. Gulity......Ok Next month do something for them. I Promiss

Back to my story, At last, she decided not to get it at 10.30pm, before the security officer chase us out. 4 hours and buy nothing.....Nevermind lah, she happy can liao.

Sunday, went for another shopping trip at Parkway. After that, went home to 'nuah' on the bed. 4.30pm time for LSD. We did a 17km run that almost kill us......Non-stop running like mad man and woman on the street. Family members thought we have been kidnap. It was almost 8.00pm when we reach home. As I sounded the alarm that we only have 3 more LSD to go before tapering. So next week, we will have to start to run much eariler. Like 4.00pm. This time, we got to try out the run-walk-run strategy. target 26km!!!

Leg no break - no go home in chinese!

I am sick

I was having a good time with my wife on Saturday. But because greedy, I ate more than I supposed to. Thus, I got a stomach upset on Saturday evening. My wife went 'mad' today, spend almost $200 plus on clothings and shoes at Robinsons? Any way, she happy can liao.

On Sunday, i felt uneasy. But went to my wife's friend daughter 1st month celebration at Civil Service Club at Bukit Batok. It's a beautiful place. The whole club house is sitting on a hill slope. So long you maintain your focus in the club house and away from those housing blocks, you are in 'highland'.

Went to West Mall for some shopping trip, found that the shopping mall is an 'empty shell', nothing much to offer....So after about 20 mins, we left home. Once home, I felt something was amiss, I felt headache and very uncomfortable in my throat. I got a throat infections. I thought only jodan was unlucky, so am I.

Did not do my LSD as planned. so went to bed to rest. Later part of the evening, I managed to go to the nearby park to teach my nice to cycle. She is now a certified cyclist. Not bad lah, first time teach and she got it liao. My teaching method also not bad huh.

Monday, went to work as usual. But at 10am, I went straight to the clinic to look for Dr Philip Koh and gotten a one medical leave, so went back home to sleep throughout the day.

Nice Shot

While checking the warehouse at Senkee. Accidentially park my ride in front of the word, 'TOYOTA'. Look nice leh, thus took this shot.

Position not bad huh??

Run!!!

Yes managed to run, run and run....on 9 October and 10 October. At Last, after a long break, its time to move on.

Ai Yo.....Die liao....

Brother named DIE as 'Doing it everyday'. Nbz! Hahaha. I have not been running seriously throughout the whole of last week. I was on Occupational First Course for 3 days, since Wednesday to Friday and have been eating like MAD. Every meal is heavy... Now living in guilty!!! The only run that I have was on Thursday evening when I try out my new toy, Polar RS200cd. The footpod was very accurate.

Saturday when for Osim tri Clinic, but went off to do a Tour de ECP and Marina South with roonz, jodan and gentle. Hahahha..... Total distance was like 35km easy and lazy ride....

Sunday, my family members and wife convinced me not to go for a run since its already so late, so have 2 BIG bowls of Laksa!!! You say 'will die or not???

Today go home I will have to see got the mood or not? hehehehe.... Lazy runner!

Surprise Move

Well, I have got a surprise answer from my wife on 23/09/2007, after our LSD 16km. She told me that she want to enrol for the full marathon. I have been talking and talking and telling her to take part since June. It was only on Sunday, she confirmed it.

Immediately, I started to register for her through the net and fill up all the particular for her. The down side, she will have to pay for a normal price with a SCB discount $73.00. Well as usual, she stop at the last button to confirm her payment. Hehehehe. I was once at that button too. Because, once you press 'enter' there is no way to return liao.

I decided to leave her alone to settle it. She think and think and think. Suddenly, she told me, 'i press the button liao!' I very congratulate her for having the courage to take a FULL marathon!!!

I was very delighted that I will have a running partner, which is my wife. Very rare to see a couple running and finishing a full marathon!!! SCM HERE WE COME!!!!!

Let's Have Some Updates

Wednesday, 5 September 2007.

Today, I did a mini Biathlon. The weather in the afternoon was too good to be missed for a swimming. Because of my spining head, I only managed to swim 6 laps. After home, the weather was wonderful, linla, intend to go for a run, but I was rather reluntant because of my spining head. But dare not tell her.

So we went for a run. During the run, I felt a urge to run faster. Thus I was infront of my wife the whole route. Only managed to slow down near traffic junction to wait for linla and at the end point where it was pretty dark stretch as street lighting were shaded off by tall tree. I slow down to wait for my wife.

After my good (first run after AHM) run, my head was not spining liao. I also dun know why. Today my head is back to normal liao. Funny hor??!!

Tuesday, 4 September 2007.

This bloody whole week, I dun know why, my head keep spining. After work decided to go cycling. Put up my gear and off I go have a quick 20km. While back home, I felt like 'the head is still spining'. This was my first proper workout since AHM.

Sunday, 2nd September 2007

Brought the whole family out to the Army Open House (AOH) to look at the man and machines of our army. I am more interested in the new tank, Leopard 2A4. But does not look impressive as the local made Primus 155mm. Every thing have to quene up to test or play. But when comes to the SOC, I still can managed the low wall and low rope. No bad huh....

The whole family was bore to death, but i was delighted. Hehehe.

Saturday, 1st September 2007

Saturday, was a day for movie and shopping. Linla suggested to go Vivocity for a show together with our friend Vincent and his wife. Before the show, linla and me have a wonderful dinner at Sushi tei. Our table overlook the Sentosa island. We sat there for almost 1.30 hours enjoying the meal and the view.

Ratatouille, was the show tittle we watched. Nice show 4.5 out of 5 star rating.

Thursday, 30 August 2007.

On this day, I knock off early from work and head back home to prepare myself for the Istana Teachers' Day Reception. The Istana looks so grand than in the usual daylights. I have the opportunity to get close and personal with Mr. President SR Nathan, Ms President and MOE 'Big Boss' Thaman.

Took a few photographn of Mr. Pressident standing together with my wife. What an eye opening event. After the evening, we went shoppping at Plaza Singapura. I bought my wife a piece of dress as a gift cum reward for Teachers Day. Hehehe....

Army Half Marathon 2007

The day before Army Half Marathon (AHM), I was busy in Linla's school help out with all the decoration as well as fixing up new furnitures which they have bought it from Ikea.

The whole afternoon from 1.00pm till 7.00pm in evening, I was running around the entire school without much rest, so is my wife.

I thought, tomorrow is the race, why am I not resting enough for the BIG day, which is tomorrow. By the time it end, I forgot have yet to buy all my stuff, bananas, bread, powerGel and 100 plus etc. So have have to step out of the house and start looking for all these items. Lucky enough, I managed to get all these within the next hour.

8.15pm, dinner time. My wife and I decided to forgo shopping (normally on a Saturday evening) and we suggest to cook 'Magie Mee' for dinner. After dinner, we continue to watch the 'Super Star final' until almost 11.00pm. We turned in for the night. I have told her that if her is too tried, I will go for the AHM by myself so that she could continue to sleep soundly on a Sunday morning.

Sunday, woke up at 3.30am. She woke up too. I told her to get some sleep if she is tried, but insist that she want to go. 5.10am, we are at the start line. Went to teh flag pole to look for jodan but he is not there. Met fun-nam from FJC while forming-up at the starting chute. 5.30am sharp, the horn sounded. The run start!!! I made a detour to the 'Lau Pak Sai' food centre toilet to release some 'water' Hehehehe...We continued our run.

My wife request me to run ahead of her. It was only after several requests, I started to break away from her pace, but told her to keep onto the left so that I could spot her at the 10km mark. 10km: 1h 15mins.

I decided to move on to another site to wait for her since the 10km mark is so cramp. At the 14.5km mark along the Fort Road, I waited for her at the bus stop. While waiting for her, I have helped 3 young gentleman to ease their cramps on their lower part of their legs. 10 mins in the waiting, my lovely wife appeared. I decided to run along with her. 16km, she broke down and started walking, so I also did the same lor. Walk with her! We hold our hands 'macham' like going for some shooping trip. Hehehe.

She got a cramp at about 17km mark. I spotted the medic and tell him that my wife needs to apply some medication to ease the cuff. We decided to walk all the way to Republic Avenue, I started to run again. But returned for her so that we could finished it together. Time: 3hrs ++

She was very disappointed as her PB was 2hr 40mins, 2006. But I told her that she was brave to have complete it since she never had a proper run since Dualthon in May. Me too, I did not ever train for it....But we are glad!!! After collecting the medals and goodies bags, she complained about hunger, we left the venue to have our breakfast at Chomp Chomp market, A good plate of 'mice pork mee', 'Roti John' and 2 glasses of ice-milo 'peng'. serve as a good reward. Then is shooping time!!!

My Wife Photograph Is In Straits Time - 25/08/2007

Congratulation to my wife as the finalist of the President Award for Teachers. Well, this show case her ability to teach the young ones. I am proud for her achievement.

Thursday, we will be going to Istana for the Reception.

2 More Days to AHM (U-turn Point So Far!)

Well Friday, hands and legs got itchy. So took a drive down East Coast Park to check on the actual Army Half Marathon U-turn point. As descript by my friend, Jodan, the U-turn point should be before the Police Post located near the Macdonald's.

But Sad to say, the teh U-turn point is located after the East Coast Macdonalds. Well, think so much, still have to run right?! Hopefully, the weather is be all right for tomorrow morning.

When walking towards my baby Rav4, spotted this nice location of the Aviava Ironman 70.3 poster, So take a shot loh.

3 More Days to AHM

Tuesday, woke up very early in the morning, but it was raining so took the excuss not to run. Hehehehe.

During Lunch time, guilty set in, so pack my bags and head out to SAFRA Tampines for a swim. Did 12 laps in total. Met a friend whom used to play squash with Larry, but Larry also 'disappear' liao. He taugh me on some correction stroke of my front crawl style. At 1345 hrs, I head back to the office.

Wednesday, try to go for a swim in the afternoon, but once I drove 'Wildfire' out of the office gate, it started to rain again. Hai......Nevertheless, things wasn't that bad, I managed to go for a very very very slow run last evening. Like 3.3km took me about 25mins. I told myself that this will be teh last run, I need to just keep my legs warm for the race. So I control my pace and keep telling myself not to 'jiong'.

After the run, I wasn't even breathing fast, like normal loh. Only managed to sweat. My running shorts wasn't wet at all. Hehehe.....But I should say, my legs are now more firm and ready to go!

I have to ask myself, 'You sure you ready to go?'.....Hehehe....Today, tomorrow and the day after, I will wear my running shoes to work as to suit the feet until the last day.

Shopping Night & Fire Works

At last, my wife and I managed to do some shopping on Saturday Afternoon. But before that, we have a good lunch at 'House of Brani'. I did enjoyed my lunch, but my wife said she have got somewhere better. Is at Race Course Road. Nevertheless, we shall visit that place some time.

Shopping, shopping and Shopping along Orchard Road. It was like we ave never been to Orchard Road for many many months. 'Since when'. Parked our baby at Wisma and started to walk from 2.00pm all the way till 8.00pm. By then, she have bought a piece of clothes at South heaven. As for me, as usual, nothing lah. I just enjoyed the walk, crowd and of course the dinner finale at Food Repulic. We have, Fried Prawn Mee, Rojak, Fried Fish Mee and some 'light' - 4 baskets of dim sum. Heeee. Sinful huh??

By 8.20pm, we hurried out way to watch the fire works at the Marina Bay again. Yes, again. I like fire works!!! Caught in a bad bad massive jam along Market Street. But we managed to drive through the jame without much problem.

While we reached the Raffles Quay area, the jame was to bad, until the traffic come to a standstill. Really, standstill. My wife made a judement call to turn towards Raffles Cit/ Suntec City. We managed to park along the road side and run towards the fire works site.

Guess what, I saw one of the Traffic Police, armed with a VCR capturing cars reistration numbers of those parking by the road side. I ran fast bck to my car and started to drive off loh. 'Kia sie' what!!! If kena means, $120 compound fine and 6 demerit points reducted. Not worth right?

We did not catch much actions but go home feeling happy because we have already got a fun fill day.

Fire Works

Yesterday night was fill with shining sparks. My wife worn nice dress that sparkers like stars to attend her Teachers' Day Dinner at Furama City hotel. She won the title of Miss Accessories in her school. Not too bad huh?

After Sending her to the hotel, i head to the city to catch some fire works. Lucky for me, I was not caught in the massive traffic jam towards the city. I managed to be friend with a Site Supervisor from The Sail. Guess what, he allow me to park my baby Rav4 inside the new "Marina Bay Finaical Centre' commonly known as 'The Sail' cnstruction site. Lucky huh? Maybe my 'lau kapo' helps.

So, I need not pay a single cent for car park and do not need to worry about 'Uncle Sam' aka 'White ants' or ' Tourist that wear white uniform only takes photograph on the bridge' - Traffic Police. There were hell lots of them along the One Raffle Quay and Hong Kong Land building.

The view was nice, unobstructed and yet cooling. Some of the people even bought chairs & table or floor mat to start their picnic there. Drinks, makan everything their can bring along. Like see show like that loh...

One unlucky event took a turn, I did not bring along a tripod for my camera. Tried many shots before the event to see how steady my hands are, but teh shots are like. Shit over the skys. Nevertheless, I did took some nice one and will upload these nicer shots later! Stay Tune!!

Forget!!!

I thought that, I will be able to cover back some mileage from cycling tonight. Team Eastern will be doing a ride from Singapore Expo to West Coast Macdonald's and 'chiong' the 3 hills namely, Papsi, Telok Blangah Hill and Mount Faber. Total 65-70km. Averge speed 28-33km/h.

But, I totally forgot about my wife Teachers Day Dinner at the hotel. I am suppose to sent her and pick her up at the end of the event. Too bad, clash event. I have to forgo the ride tonight. Anyway, wishing my wife a Happy Teachers Day in advance.

At Last, I Commit a Run

Well, enough is enough! I have slacked down with hell lots of reasons for the pass 2 weeks for not running. I had promiss my colleauge to attend the badminton session at the Tampines Indoor Hall, which is organise by our company, last evening. Ended up, I did not attend but nevertheless, I did managed to 'pull' myself to go for a run.

Reach home at about 7.20pm after sending my wife to attend some matter, I decided to go for a run. I have only one and a half hours to complete the my usual running route (with cool down session) which seems reasonable. Started my run at 7.26pm.

Well, It was like I have not been running for the pass 2 weeks. It was tough for a start. But gain momentum after hitting about 1 km. I tried hard to fought with my thought of giving up, 'Why suffer? Should I take a bus home?' (I always have a dollar coin with me for every run in my pocket).

After running and running, I was able to maintain the posture and pace. Well, I should said I have a good run. Distance: 6.9km time taken: 40.21sec.

Not too bad but can be better the 'next time round'. Took my dinner together with my wife at almost 9.20pm. Took something that add on to my calorie, Fried Rice!! So just now run one, all liao liao!

I do have a good day isn't it?

The Run That Did Not Materialised

Cham ah!!!

11 days to Army Half Marathon!!! I have not been running for almost close to 2 weeks. Slack after Osim Triathlon. My last run was 5th Sunday. Did a brick training, Bike: 30km and Run: 7KM. Till now, jialat liao.

Yesterday, did have my lunch time swim at SAFRA Tampines. Complete a total of 8 laps. I thought, evening will be good for a run, but due to work commitment, only managed to reach home about 7.40pm. Anyway still can run what!!! But I was lazy. Slept early and thought the next morning can wake up early for a short run.

But.......It did not materialised again. I have been bluffing myself!!! How to over come this fault of mine? Well just plain lazy loh......No one to blame.

Today pay day!!! I was happy at first, but after paying all my debts, hai!!! Still in the red can cannot afford some 'extra' for my bike....Thought of changing the 'bull horn' Triathlon handle bar with a Tria areobar. Looks like, I will have to wait for a few months liao. SAD!!!! Happy, I cleared my debts, that's more important!!

My very own blog - KL Trip Last Weekend

Hi, Morning! This will be my very own blog. I will try to update as regular as possible.

To start off with, Kuala Lumpur trip last weekend. My wife, Linla and I went to KL trip with 2 of our new friends, Vincent and Yi Tian. We head up to the north on Saturday morning at about 5.15am and reach there about 10.00am. By 6.45am, we have clear the immigration and head up till Pagoh and took a break. This is my wife and I first trip with our new 'baby' - Rav4 aka Wild fire.

The car never disappoint me as I could reach the speed of 170km/h. The only down side is the road noise. We visited 1 utama, Mutiara Damasara, this is our first time visiting this shopping mall. It's huge!!! I nearly got lost. Checked into the hotel, Renaissance KL at about 5.30pm.

We wne to BukitBintang, Outback for our dinner. I was nice, especially the soup and fried chicken. Thereafter, we took a LRT back to the hotel.

On Sunday, we went for a swim. Vincent 'siong' tried to collect my front crawl swimming technics. Wah la, now I can sim better. Hehehe. We also head for the Steam bath. We leave for shopping at KLCC and took our nice 'branch' at Madam Kwan' which was very ver nice, but a little pricy.

Leave KL at about 6.45pm and get back to 'motherland' at 10.15pm.
