Should be given 20 years in prison and possible canning for child abuse; they should learn what is pain, what is hurt and what is mental suffering.

Also parents should learn how to take care his or her child and do not leave them ALONE! Yesterday while I was on the way back home before midnight saw a young 9 years old boy was alone in the platform at Raffles Place MRT Station. I was asking him where your parent is and he replied “Mummy ask me to go home” I do this every day and no scared.  

Yes, now no scared later something happen they blame everyone; blame the government and bla bla bla…….

Stop complaining! Matters will not solve if we do not CHANGE!

I know how hurts a child is because I am one of them and the scare is always there L

I am going to set up SBR Foundation in 2012 where I can give back to society and help those amputees to change their lives by giving them a prosthetic leg and offer them a job. This is a tough mission but I know this dream will come through if I work for it.

Here I have some friends that I trusted will help me out to set up.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity and here I am celebrating with my wonderful wife Rozana Shariff.

An anniversary is a time to celebrate the joys of today, the memories of yesterday, and the hopes of tomorrow. Thanks giving to God and I always love her till the day I left the world. Insya'Allah.

Day 2.

A beautiful morning at Damas Suites & Residences; the hotel room is facing the newly Istana Negara at Jalan Sri Hartamas 1. I am officially ready for the Malakoff Kuala Lumpur 2011 run at Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort. 

Getting myself ready to Desa Sri Hartamas where the shuttle bus services will pick all the runners to the race site.

Malakoff Run, here I come; I will be in Malaysia from today till Monday noon to inspire runners at Bukit Kiara. See you all on Sunday morning.

Day One;

Wake up at 6am, I am feeling much better after yesterday fever with flu virus attacking me. I had a cup of black coffee and will be running around the estate for 5km warm up run.

Friday 16 December 2012.

Motivational Quote of the day:

Believe in your dreams, believe in your wishes, believe in yourself, and believe what you can do, believe every failure can change to success and believe more achievement in future.

Those days before I was amputated I am failure! But now all change BECAUSE I BELIEVE!

The secret of my success is never ever forgetting God and thanks giving, help the less fortunate by giving little and we will receive it more.

Have a great bless Friday.

Sadness news, Mdm Teresa Hsu passed away peacefully on 7 December 2011 at the age of 113, Singapore’s Oldest Person.

I know her in early 2009 where both of us share our life journey during the inspiration talks at St Joseph’s Institution International.

Born in a tiny village in the Guangdong province of China, Hsu traveled to various countries, such as Hong Kong and Paraguay, to help others, before settling down in Singapore. She is a trained nurse, devoted her entire life to help the less.

I remember her quote “Sorry is beautiful”
                                                                     

God love you Hsu, you done lot to inspire everyone, Rest in peace.

When I watch this photo, I am so emotion and tears; this is his 3rd year running for Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore. He had inspired thousand of runners and future he will be running international to inspire the World.

Despite his pain on both of his leg due to muscle cramp, he never ever thinks of Giving Up! 

There are two friends, Keith Yeo and Zai Nazri who he does not know them was beside him during the last 5km, He knows he can run and finish this race but he will never ever leave his two new friends behind. Motivate each other and completed the race together with two other supporter runners.

I am very angry, sad and disappointed with this unprofessional that has a big event but can’t pay volunteers on time! They promise her end of November 2011 and now they promise end of December 2011.

My daughter and her friend start her first experience job during the school holiday to earn some money for their upcoming camping course and buying school books.

I felt so disappointed to recommend her this job because I trust this organizing!

Yesterday after reaching at the ending point I was rush to the medical tent with the body temperature went up to 39 and was given cold bath. 

First time experience whole body damn pain and this morning I went to hospital for an injection; the ankle of the good leg is swollen and pain due to too much walk instead of running. I have no issue on the prosthetic leg as it did well. (I have a reason why I walk after the 21km point. In future if SCMS did not change the route like Maxwell Road or ECP, I will not run again. I think some runners will know what I mean)

Now I could not walk and had been given 2 week rest before heading for training.

Thanks to the two friends Keith Yeo and Zai Nazri who I meet during the run, we walk all the way and motivate each other and thanks to another two runners at the 50 meters point who were there to support and special thanks to the DJ, supporters and friends for being there and cheers all the way till I reach at the ending point. Once again THANK YOU!

Thanks to the Malaysian supporters lead by June Malik, Kash Kasiri and some others for being there and YOU MAKE MY DAY! I GOT A CAN OF COKE! at 6km. 

To all the runners CONGRATS AND WELL DONE! Recovery fast and rest well!

RIP to the young runner who died; God love you and respect is given to you for completing the 21km category.

Special thanks to all the volunteers who is working day and night since weeks ago to make sure everything is perfect. SCMS organizing committee should concern the welfare of the volunteers’ (I don’t want to say it but if you promise something, DO IT) my wife already send and urgent email concerning my 2nd daughter and the rest of the volunteers who had been working to pack the race kits) you know what I mean?

Anyway I am happy to complete this marathon. I already motivate and inspire thousand of runners. I will be back again in future with strong and personal best.
