Face like Crap Running a 12KM Race

Posted by Daniel Chew On January - 4 - 2010

So yes, the results are out. The news is also out as to how I fare and my observation of the course. Now to show some pictures of how suffering is the track in this race. All pictures are courtesy of photographers and volunteers of this running Saucony 12km Network Race 2010.

The picture wasn’t focused on me. This photographer takes the pink shorts chick instead of the red shorts hunk guy. Well, girls are more appealing right? But then maybe I was proven wrong. Look at the next picture.

I am very clear. Maybe it was wrongly focused but finally I got my cool face posted up there. Seems like no sweat, and easy, until they have to publish my clear exhausted face on the Internet.

Suffering Running Face

I would really love this photo if my expression wasn’t like going to faint like that. The photo is splendidly sharp and, yes, it’s still the first lap I think. Now who said I don’t have muscles? All those leg exercise really paid off.

What I felt that made me lose my momentum in this 12km run was the dreaded stairs. What stairs? Look at the following series.

Crazy Run Lake Garden Stairs

Now you wonder how damn high it was. 230 steps? or was it 300 steps. These photos can basically summarize how this race is and how suffering it was. Correction : 170 steps… corrected by Mr Chin Ann.

By the way, photos are courtesy of  fook79

More photos are on the way, if any photos are still out there and you see them, do inform me. Would love to keep track of my run.

Saucony Pacemakers Network Run 2010 Simply Tired

Posted by Daniel Chew On January - 2 - 2010

First off HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 to all readers of Weird Weird Denial. Yes, remember I did say that I would get myself fit for the NEW YEAR RUN which is about 12km and boy, I think I didn’t do that. Nevertheless, I still went to the run and thought that it is just 12km, how hard can it get? Until… I ran the track. I didn’t expect stairs.

3 months after registering for this race, I only had one training which is a non-stop 5km. Then I slept like 2:30am the night before the race. Imagine having 3 hours of sleep and off to the run. It might be dangerous for me too, who knows I might collapse while running “touch wood“. Facing the fact that I am not getting any younger, I think I should actually start doing some training.

The people joining there were magnificent. My goal on the race was fairly simple, TO FINISH THE RACE and from then onwards to motivate myself to start running actively again. I haven’t been joining any race these past few months. Then the results came out.

Good first lap and second lap, until the 3rd and final lap, I was practically like, What the heck, I am so slow. *cries in agony* It looks like the result tells me something, never to sleep so late and make sure do your training before any run. Though of course, I did get the COOL finisher medal which was what I was aiming for before the start of the run. A timing of 1:35:28 is way off my personal best of 1:20:56 of my 12km run. CRAPS

To catch more of the action of this run, do visit more on runwitme.blogspot.com and PM1.blogspot.com for more pictures and videos about this run. I will end with a video. Don’t know whether anyone could spot me though.

*hint* : I am the one in the RED shorts.

ps : Anyone wants to do the next run? Night run at Putrajaya!!!!

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION : Run below 20minutes consistently in one lap

Snowing in Malaysia

Posted by Daniel Chew On December - 19 - 2009

Do you wish that one day you can actually see snow in other parts of the world where there isn’t snow at all? What I meant by that is natural snow caused by the weather. Now imagine Malaysia, the country I live in and it snows. Bet that lots of people would be wow… it’s snowing wheee~~~~ but then, if you were to think it further and carefully doesn’t it mean something like this

Oh SHIT!!! It’s snowing. Something is happening. #2012

This is some thing I thought up but yes, nowadays when there is something out of the extraordinary we twit about it with the hashtag #2012 and it became viral to a few people. All credits to Satkuru who started this for me. If you haven’t followed my twitter, here’s the page http://twitter.com/danielctw.

The latest entry by Satkuru complaining about his facebook thingy.

RT @hongaun: My facebook interface keep on changing (switching between old and new one) what’s going on??? #facebook #2012

Somehow I got a feeling that someone’s name almost same with me I just had to do this

OMG almost same name RT @bryanhoo @danielctw his name is danieltwc. similar with u. that’s why i confuse haha #2012

So let’s go back to snow in Malaysia. Apparently people wanted snow to drop in Malaysia that some shopping complex in Kuala Lumpur is doing just that for the public. For instance Pavilion shopping mall. There’s snow.

Oh my snow in Malaysia at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

The people are panicking NOT.

Snow turned out to be bubble foam. Really really weird people. Why in a crowd waiting for snowy FOAMS. Seriously this could be tag as #2012.

More New Moon Splendid Photos

Posted by Daniel Chew On December - 9 - 2009

After the show of New Moon, DanielCtw.com seems to be getting lot and lots of certain specific pictures out there from the world wide web and recommendation from friends. This is what we call networking through the internet.

Most of you who have read the recent post on this site would know all about Twilight New Moon. Then there was a parody of what would have happen if there was a third party in the relationship between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Of course if you hadn’t seen that marvelous photo, go visit this post to view this excellent modified photo.

The current New Moon poster is kind of boring when you see it though as displayed previously.

Though because of that, the whole movie now deserves a new nerve racking poster. How about Twilight : New Moon Director’s Cut.

New Moon Reloaded

Finally a show worth watching for.
