SIBU MARATHON DAY !!!!

Wah finally the day came,ermm not a clear and bright one,very dark and heavy drizzle kind.But yeah i did it,ran 10km in an hour,i'm so proud of myself,it's only the first time,think it was good.Although not many participants for the men and women open,apparently most joined the 7km fun run.But wow i'm happy i finally got the feel of the atmosphere,hmmm think i'm having the marathon bug :P

Guess it was worth waking up at6am on labour day despite not going to work.


The best part of it all,i really proved myself wrong,it's not what you can't achieve it's about what you can:)
My friend and my prize money was very well spent with the others in the post run meal:)) That was truly the best part of it all.....

Sarawak Elections 2011

I guess i should blog about it since :

1) i'm experiencing it first hand by being here  all the poster's,'ceramah',campaining,sudden interest in the  people ( It works out for them since most of us have a short memory )
2) It's almost as big as the national elections
3) There's of course so much hype about it
4) Although i'm not registered to vote here indirectly somehow we're all involved in it (it might be a safe thing that i'm oncall on the 16th)

So yeah amidst all this i think the one thing which i will remember about this election is not the ridiculous poster's which make them look like lost models,nor the 'gathering's',or people building a bridge out of no where(regret not taking the picture)..........

But the poor pilot who died yesterday in a helicopter crash,amidst ferrying politicians,i heard and read the story,i saw the poor guy,i saw all the politicians and reporters and the hype in the hospital.It was a very sudden,freak accident i guess,but yeah he's young and leave's behind quite a few loved one's.It's quite a scary thought that most of us here actually take the very same helicopter's on MEDEVAC's,FDS(Flying doctor's Service)  for various reasons.So i would like to post this as a tribute to the Captain although i never knew him personally,may he rest in peace and may his family,wife and children remain strong throughout.

A moment of silence.................

Finally A Marathon ???

Haven written inawhile,quite a bit happening with myself, sarawak,the world these days,but just don't feel the burning desire to write about all that now.

So i saw this poster in a Sibu coffee shop in town which said Sibu Mini Marathon.Wow finally,never thought Sibu actually had one.Ermm it's really mini only 7km,but what the heck everyone starts somewhere right??eventually one day i'l do a 26km,so it's baby steps for now.I love to jog and run so why not just join for the fun of it.It is a really positive thing to do anyways.


When through a website cause i thought i might as well get some guidance,got lots of inspiration and encouragements from friends who've done it,i was still thinking can i really....So what the webpage asks

By the way, why do you want to do this? Don’t let yourself off by stopping at your first answer! Dig deep!

    So i'v dug deep and i think i just want something new and positive to focus on,rather then worry bout the problems i face,cause they're actually really trivial.It's so easy to give excuses for our own actions/behaviour but it's not always right.I guess this is just me.I see these marathon runners and i think they're really disciplined and motivated,i'm sure i could try and cause lately i like to prove myself wrong i think i will.


So yeah the countdown starts from today till 1/5/2010 lets see where i get to,shall rant occasionally of course.


"We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves. The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."

Happy Women's Day !!!!

Before the day comes to an end best to commemorate this day,something which i truly believe in,not being a feminist but just believing in women knowing and holding on to their rights in today's world.Loved this paragraph i read in the paper's by Ivy Josiah ( Women's Aid Organisation Executive Director )

'When I am asked how my social consciousness was awakened, I tell them that it was a nun, Sister Anne, who was my teacher, who encouraged me to ask questions. That was how I first came to believe that a woman’s life should be about choices and not just accepting anything given to, or thrown at, her.'
So once again my prayers to all the strong,independent,courages,gorgeous women out there especially the single mothers,may they stay positive and be blessed forever

May we strive towards millenium development goal number 3 promoting gender equality and empowering women :)

One step closer

Finally some fantastic news,getting one step closer to achieving  my dreams.Thank you to everyone who played a huge role :)

And Just Like That It's over

Went for 1 but fought 2 battles instead,i did my very best for both however i can.so we'll just wait for the results, i guess it would be a lie to say if it wasn't a little awkward or sad.But it's in a different way now.The past should just be left where it should be.I found a very interesting inspiration/idea amidst studying,will try to work on that and hopefully it would be inspiring to other's as well

"Here's to making good memories , not good choices "

It start's Now .....

And the time has come to start calls in paeds , how do i feel , hmmm actually not as scared as i should be i guess,probably cause i have my exams as a distraction.Just like that it's already the 3rd chinese new year i'm celebrating in sibu,where did time go ??? But never before in any other place have i seen people play that much of fire-works,hoping i'l get to see it from the hospital,with the kids.

On the brighter side after so many years my collegues all get to be off for their reunion dinner,finally a non-chinese in the department :) works both ways cause i wouldn't have to fight with anyone for deepavali and other holidays either.Have a very motivating and dedicated team of specialists and collegues,so happy to have joined them finally.

So we shall see what happens tomorrow,good or bad it'l be another milestone in my future and the journey continues.

"Have a prosperous RABBITY new year " and have an orange or even a carrot on me:)
