Really sick

I was sick during the last weekend and doctor gave MC to me on monday (21/4/08). After taking medicines recovered for 2 days. Last night the fever came back...so unbearable when whole body aching due to fever, this morning woke up but the fever getting worst. I felt guilty if I took medical leave again today so just fight with my immune system and go to work.

Took commuter train to work and slept through the journey before arriving at Bank Negara. Feel restless if I didn't manage to finish my work today. Monday and Friday was the busier day for me to release those orders to be scheduled during the weekend where operations staff worked on alternate saturday.

Busy till lunch, Azlan called me to join them for lunch with Ben and Jun. Tengah sakit teruk ni lagi nak ajak makan pizza...uish ! I went to meet them at Maju Junction Pizza Hut but too late for me to say "NO" because they have ordered for me so just eat lor.

Back from lunch, drop by at the nearby clinic. Doctor take a check on me and said I'm still fever..hehe. Kalau doctor tahu Saya makan pizza tadi...habis mesti kena marah :-) Somehow it's already nearly 2.30pm, doctor granted me a half day MC...laaaa...dah kerja 3/4 hari pun.

Back to office, I pass the MC to my boss for signatory. Guess what ? My boss said you look ok to me, I replied : Yah, i just got fever since last night and feel whole body aching now. My close buddy (mud) came to my office to pick me up and sent me home..really thanks to him, so much caring :-)

Gloomy for a moment

Today everything look so quiet even the sky also look so gloomy in a sudden then one hour later back to normal.

Condolence to my best friend

I was shocked to received a sms at 3.50am on saturday morning from my close malay buddy saying his father has pass away due to Asthma attack. I even woke my mum up to informed. I felt so sympathy for my friend, his respectful father never re-marry after the wife has pass away so many years. He even work hard and take care of 3 children at home. The eldest son is my close buddy, his youngest brother is graduate in architect but unfortunately last september his spinal was infected by virus and make him can't walked till today.

I attended his father funeral in the morning of saturday, I'm the only chinese among all my malay buddies. I couldn't hold back my tears too by seeing my friend lost his father.

God bless u and your family, my close buddy (mud). Hope the 3 of your in the family are given more strenght by the god and bless with bright destinations.

Kapas-Marang International Swimathon 2008

It was a yearly swimathon event organised by the state government of Terengganu. All of my friends already plan a year ahead to brush up and improved their time on swimming. I'm the only one who knew last minute about their participate. I just follow to sign up without having enough time to do training at all.

We have 9 people in our team ( 8 males and 1 female ), 7 of them drive from Klang to Terengganu, myself and my best friend (Bukhari) go by bus. We arrived in marang at 4am and my friend went for prayer in the masjid, myself just sit outside masjid to wait for my friend until he finished perform his prayer.

We walked to the marang jetty just behind the masjid. Wah..noticed the sky look so beautiful before sunrise. Here are some nice pictures taken :-

After breakfast, we adjourned to register before transfered by speedboat to Pulau Kapas.

Kapas island, look at the water is so calm actually current under water is quite strong. We are going to swim from pulau kapas to pantai kelulut, marang on the next day at 7.30am..scary, tension and pressure :-( never in my life I dare to take up this challenge to swim in open sea 6.5km under strong current not considering the deep sea and the scary sea creatures. Oh my godness, it's really a spirit challenge. Dah sign up pun, terpaksa cuba jer la...

It's not all about the money but is the spirit challenge is come in place. Think back how many people dare to swim at open sea under strong current and sting by those sea creatures?

The light house

The beautiful island of Kapas

This'll be the kayak boat to use by the rescuer tomorrow

Oh..nooooo...the race will be start in 1 hour, after breakfast. We check out from the chalet at 6.30am and proceed to second registration and body marking for individual registration no.

Our team

Upon waiting for the race to start, lily gan ( The only female in our team) who called by NTV 7 to describe about pulau kapas in mandarin..sempat lagi interview...hehe. She's one of the participant who managed to complete the 6.5km swimathon..syabas to her :-) A strong female who worried so much about the ocean current, jelly fish and deep sea earlier.

The finishing medal

I think I should said if swimmers win in this competition, I don't feel proud of them except this OKU team is the one who I respect the most. All of them make it to finishing line with either a pair of hand or a pair of legs.

Congratulations to our Mr.Han, the veteran championship who won prizes and cash of RM1000.

Congratulations to all the participants who managed to swim till finishing line. See your next year !
