I started off with a light breakfast with two bagel and a cup of black coffee without sugar and i sac of Xango. Getting ready myself and at about 3am i need to be at the lobby area for the shuttle service that will pick us to the Dataran Merdeka race site.

Reach Dataran Merdeka around 45mins late due to traffic jam at the nearby disco club and i started to do warm up and a slow run on the field. The weather is not good and started to rain, i can feel the cool on my body and hope everything will goes well during the run.  Meet up with lot of fans there and we took photo.

On the way back we meet up lot of runners and passer by and they want to have a photo with me. While walking back to Masjid Jamek Station I meet up with the head of the traffic policemen and took group photo with them and thanks to all policemen for doing their job great.

Back to Mandarin Oriental Hotel and we need to clear and pack all our belonging before checking out around 2pm while my wife called up a taxi driver who she known and will be picking up around 3pm to KLIA.

A Journey Begin in Kuala Lumpur, Day 4 on Saturday..

Good morning everyone and one more day to the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon 2010.

As usual i did my 2.5km run at Taman KLCC and meet up with few Kenya runners there. After the run we went back to the room and meet up again for breakfast at "Biba's Cafe" while my family went for a stroll at the nearby park. Meet up again with my family and we took lot of photos at the children's playground.

At 11am we went back to our room and later they will headed to the pool area while i will be meeting with few runners for lunch. At 1pm all of us had Pasta at KLCC food court. I told Jason that i need to be back to the hotel by 2pm as i need full rest before the race day. Back in the room i pack all my races kits such as shoes, running outfit, bib no to be attached and the most important is the blade sole and look like all are in good condition. My family later will be heading to Bukit Bintang for shopping while i will be sleeping in the room.

To all the runners out there, are you guys ready for tomorrow? keep hydrating, rest well and keep away from oilly food. I know all my friends will be doing better in the PB and my advice to all is to focus and complete the run safely, keep away for injuries and if you need any pacer look out for the runners who will be carrying a specific coloured balloon to indicate target finish time or meet up with the "vigin marathon group" look for runner June and her group and i will be under the big flag pole around 4am with SGRunners for photo taking.

Finally all the best and keep going! SBR sign out.

I say goodbye to my elder & younger daughter. My youngest one can't wait to board the flight tomorrow. She say she misses me. Since my wife can't join me today as she is working late night, she and my youngest angel will take the flight tomorrow. As for today, my 2nd daughter Annisaa will follow me first to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. So right now, I'm in the departure hall which is in Terminal 1 Changi Airport.

Approx 8.21pm finally we reach at KLIA airport safely.

Bought the ticket from KLIA express train to KL Sentral. After that we took our luggage and at last we got out from the KLIA airport.Then we took taxi from KL Sentral to Masjid Jamek, Citin Hotel. Wa piang lehh! The driver don't know where is the hotel located. Luckily i manage to read up the map early and i know the direction to the hotel.  Once we reach the Citin Hotel, there's another big problem i faces up. I did book the hotel thru the booking.com but they have not deducted from my MasterCard for the stay in the hotel. OMG!! The hotel staff ask me to make a deposit payment of RM150. Luckily i got bring some cash with me. I have to wait for my wife to make the full payment of RM 480 when they arrive tomorrow morning. booking.com should not let this happen to the customer. What happen if the traveller didn't bring enough cash with them but they already book the hotel?? I receive a parcel containing Xango from Raja Izam Mansor. Thanks and hope to meet up with her on one of this day.  Reach our room, i was damn tired and still tomorrow morning need to wake up early for a live interview.
