Yes, it was a maddening run. For the life of me, this is my first run of 22km. Well, I have been running 10km runs and getting a time of 1 hour or less. Now trying to gear up for the Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2009, I decided to test my mettle in this Circuit Run 3 which is about 22km held at Bukit Jalil Park and the running event starting at 9pm. Also bought my new shoes and also the vest that I found was collecting dust in my cupboard is finally put to good use.

Little did I know, many things await me. The tiredness and of course for not exercising or training for 1 whole month, I must be crazy to even participate in this. But always the never say cannot finish and cannot fail that type, I decided to just go with the flow. I ran non-stop during the first loop and it was fun, I guessed. Though, once I reached the water station, I think I made a mistake by stopping too long. I felt tiredness taken over me and in the 2nd loop I was like someone who has lost all his energy. Though my legs can carry on, I felt I don’t have the power to push myself.

That’s when many people would see me walking instead of jogging and I must say, I am like a disgrace. Darn… well, who ask me to put up to such event without training. When I saw Ronnie passed by me completing one loop, I was like… “If only I could keep my pace with him”. Well, no matter, I actually wanted to stop running after the 2nd loop. Well, one loop is about 3++km.

Some truth though, everytime I see a camera in the distance, I would pick up speed and jog like I don’t feel pain. Maybe that’s my motivation for this run. LOL, I wouldn’t want to be seen as someone who is walking. Shhhh.. don’t tell anyone.

Now thanks to the photographers around, I got one shot here showing me running. Oh yeah, a near freak accident happened while I ran the first loop. Right after 10 seconds ahead of a few runners, I heard a cracking sound above me, after 5 seconds I heard a loud crack and a loud thump and found out that a tree trunk has fallen onto the track. Luckily no one was hurt. Crazy~~~ If I was a bit slower, that could have been me.

After the whole run, I then felt that running not only gives you the passion to exercise, it also helps you to get to know new faces and meet new people. Yes, on that day I met up with 5 to 6 random people and it was a good experience to mingle around. Now the results, what did I get?

It happened just a week ago, when I was one of the official photographers for Project Runway 101 which is to be held at HELP University College. It really does give me a whole new meaning as to what photography can bring you.

Being involved with Aaron to photographed this event, I practically have to managed between switching lens and taking different ways of taking shots (I am confused with my sentence now). I must say getting to the event really did gave me an adventure too, having to walk all the way to the Institute only to find I left my battery in the car, and I walked back nearly 10 minutes to retrieved it. Okay enough of the blabber let’s talk about the Runway.

To think of it, this project is organised by a student in HELP University College itself. Now what a way to start you own runway. The person mentioned is none other than Mr Dennis Khor. Doesn’t the name ring a bell somewhere? Yup, the very same person you see at the Malaysian Dream Girls event.

Nice expression there Dennis, one more time eh?

Though an event like Runway 101 would not be a success without a person standing at the emcee. Well, almost all events would not go on without an emcee and we all have to thank this pretty emcee here.

Well, I ain’t going to mentioned more, but if you’re wondering where are the contestants, well, setting aside, this will be more of what happens in the early stages and the crew members. I find at times we should give credits to the organisers and crew members. Well, isn’t that weird? Well, what can be said, coming from a blogger of Weird Weird Denial.

It is the Malaysian Dream Girls Finale 2009 at The Curve and once more instead of showcasing the whole event, I will blog about it in another different way. Like I said, rather than the whole event, this time I will focus more on Dawn Lim and Pinky Liew.

The event was started with hostess Elaine Daly and Will Quah coming right on. Well, Andrew Tan came in later of course. It was a magnificent show for the people who attended. Well, maybe it was for me. Armed with my gear I now proceed to shoot them in this event.

Since this is a Dawn and Pinky special post, I will be posting their photos here. Well, who knows, I might do a Ming special for AaronWoolala and also a cover of the whole event. Juanita‘s shot though was rather limited as I couldn’t get a nice lighting.

Starting with the event, they came in masquerade and each of them wearing a mask. So here’s Pinky Liew Mee Han in a masquerade dress. The only thing obstructing this shot was the amount of people at the top left corner. It could have been nicer.

Thumbs up for the design of the dress above.

A week back, I got a splendid surprise and I found out I have the passes to one of the most awaited movie and most X-Men’s favorite hero.

What Pass is that? (I know I look chubby and not cool in the above photo)

The date was April 28 2009, the date I got my date with Wolverine from the X-Men anthologies. I received my premiere passes sponsored by CIMB Bank and since it was a premiere, as usual there would be guards stationed all around the theater. As the debut date is 29th, which is the following day, a few lucky ones have the chance to watch it first hand.

Sypnosis of the Story

X-Men Origins talk about the life of Wolverine or known as John Logan from the comic. It tells of how his nature was formed, and his life from child. There are of course lots of twist and turn and I must say to those followers of the X-Men comics, they are definitely fond of Wolverine as one of the all time favorite. A few things one should know, Wolverine cannot grow old to a certain age, thus his life and longevity brings us to what we called the X-Men 2045 brought towards the future (but that’s another story).

This story tells us all about his life, how he got his claws, his brotherhood and villain The Sabretooth. Yup, there are loads more to it, die hard fans of the X-Men would know a lot of his story way back during the comic heirloom days.

My Remarks About The Movie

The movie was great. Imagine my favorite X-Men comic hero being featured in a movie. The visual effects as usual were excellent. Though at times you wondered, his character buildup was like rather invincible. Funny thing though, the trailer and posters show a lot of Scott Summers (known as the Cyclops) and Gambit. These are known names from the series. Though since this is all about Wolverine, maybe that’s why they play a very small significant part.

I would give this movie a 8/10 for it’s incredible effects and storyline. Finally you get to know what made him a beast.

Now my final response to it. I shall be Wolverine now~~~~~

Though unforeseen circumstances happened, I lost my Casio Exilim Z750 in the process.

ROARS~~~~
