Thursday 10 November 2011.

Today is a special day for me because I am celebrating my 43 years birthday; No celebration just I alone at Tully’s Coffee in Novena Square 2 having a small slice of black Forrest cake.

My wish is to success in future and keeps inspiring the world. This afternoon I also went for an interview and manage to get a part time job as an Admin. At least I will have extra income for the family.

Thanks to all my friends, who send their warm wishes and may God bless you all with good health always.

Outstanding achievement, thank you God for giving me the strength to complete the race.

Now back to training; This morning I went for short recovery run around the Yishun Estate and I need to lose few more weight before starting another race in couple of days time.

Firstly congrats and RESPECT to all the runners who have compete the most toughest ever Ultra Trail Marathon in Malaysia for TMBT and does not matter what category they are taking part with completed or without, all are to be given respected and salute.

I have witness it and this journey is TOUGH! I say really tough where you had to run and walk in the jungle with tough terrain, crossing over old bridges at anytime that will give way, cross river, climb up the hill and not ordinary hills such as Bt Timah (5 times tougher) narrow path (slip and fall may be fatal) cross over landslide, run in the foggy and the most beautiful thing is to view Mount Kinabalu and other small mountains. This is mental challenge and once you put the foot print there and there is NO TURNING BACK! 

This is my fourth time to Sabah in 2011 and for the first time there is no blister, pain or muscle cramp on the stump. I was carrying 6 kilo hydration bag with extra equipment, prosthetic leg, first aid kits, food and many more with race map and campus. I start off with slow pace running and God had sent me with a Malaysian runner beside me where we run and completed together to the ending point and supporters cheering at us there.

When I was at the narrow path of the mountain, I am scared and cried as I am worried that I might be fall either be alive or dead or can I celebrate my birthday in a couple of days times? All this play in my mind and I remember I had a fall in the river and was help by some runners. This is history! This is a test and training for my upcoming future trip to Mount Everest in 2015.

The funny moment my head is stuck by this rock classic group song that was sang by Band Putra Rockers "Sampai disini" oh goodness! I memory this song until completed the race lol!

The first disable athlete in Singapore and the first in the world to compete TMBT in Sabah. I am so happy with this achievement and once again congrats to all runners who put their foot print in the jungle of Sabah, thanks to my Malaysian Pacer, the organizer that was lead by Professional Race Director Aman Avtar and the team, volunteers, doctors, supporting team, all the villages that cheers us all the way, my sponsors for this trip such as The North Face SingaporeGU Energy LabsLynk Biotech, friends and runners. THANK YOU!

With this achievement, now I declare to run Everest Marathon in May 2012.

Guess who is with us on the run? The Apple Boss lol!

All the items are pack and seal in the bag; not forget to bring along my extra prosthetic leg and equipment for TMBT 25km in the jungle of Sabah.

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!
