Sunday 30 October 2011.

It’s awesome to run many up and down slope in Malaysia because this will test the endurance. For the first time I did well in PJ Half Marathon despite the pain at the stump area. Reaching near 19.7km I have to stop for a while and help an injured runner where he had cramp and he can’t move his left leg. I did what I can and finally he manages to walk slowly. I continue the run and near 400 meters to the finisher line, supporters, friends and photographers chasing and keep cheering me with two runners escorting till I cross the finishing line. I MAKE IT!

Congrats to all the runners, YOU DID WELL! Thanks to bro Julian Liew for collecting the race kits, Yimei Theroadrunner Beepbeep and husband for being there, organizer for having an awesome event, volunteers doing a good job, and medic team who attended me, Traffic Police Officers for stopping all vehicle and allowed me to cross the road, press journalists, friends and supporters cheering and a runner (never get his name) sending me back to the hotel as the bus coach leaving at 11am.

This really a wonderful day for me as I meet up my lost relative for more than 38 years in the same bus where we are heading back to Singapore. She still can recognize me as my face did not change.

Thanks God for giving me a great day ahead. Next journey to Sabah on 3rd Oct 2011 for TMBT 25km trail. Right now I am going to have a good sleep as tomorrow another day with short recovery run.

INSPIRATION QUOTE

Never give up and stand up for the fight!

There are people who laugh at me because I am slow but that does not mean I can’t make it. Today I may be a failure in ultra marathon but tomorrow I will be strong because I am a fighter! Keep going till you achieve the goal but don’t ever stop and give up from trying!

Let us pray for the safety and recovery of this child who met an accident hit and run in China.

Update Status:

I just got the news that the child is brain dead and passed away. I am so sad and don't understand why some people treat human like an animal and even animal also need to treat well. RIP and I hope justice can be done and a punishment to be given to the driver and the passer by too for not helping the injured child.

If selected the disability category will be flag off first during the Boston Marathon on April 16 2011. My submission ID is #.2001907 and now waiting for the approval on the medical report. The name will be appearing in the entrant’s page.

Today is the very importance day and hope myself, Richard and the rest of my friends will be allowed to enter the Boston Marathon 2012. Let’s wait for the results.

The SBR supporting team in Singapore is waiting for the result. Once the green light has been given will start on the mission. Let's wait and be patience.

I am still waiting for the medical approval to Boston Marathon 2012.

Monday 12 September 2011.

Today is a very importance day in my life not only that but to my country Singapore and ASEAN too. At local 2200hrs I will register one of the greatest marathons in the world, Boston. If I am selected it will be good for us as I am the only hopeful amputee wearing prosthetic leg in ASEAN to run.

I already qualified for this run but hope to have a smooth registration process as there are fewer slots for the disability category; I need to be fast. What I can do now is to pray very hard.
