Wabbit Year Broga Feast & Gold Coast Roundup

Been awhile now. Things are quite blurry and kinda lost of words to put in place. A week plus. Two rides and a balik kampung feasting took place. Should be straight forward I guess putting it in summary.

After PTC, weather was gloomy for sunny rides in which cycling took a turn for me. Guilt & lazy weaving, leaving me helpless enjoying my feast, building up tummy side up. Yes, on the good side, I gain weight. Kinda happy also but the tummy looks a little bit ugly la. Obviously I get a few teases from friends and relatives. I'm all in for the biggest gainer. Hehe. No lah, hopefully my cycle & runs can help cap the scale.

Weekdays are just plain hectic. Zero workout defined. First because evening till night full with Kumon, tuition and Iqra' classes from Monday to Wednesday. Secondly, no targetted race so soon except for ENR. That also I signed up for half, which comes to the third reason for no needing for hard training. Just run and I will just make sure my G-force stays within limit taking up those sharp corners around SIC.

CNY
I decided to jump on the sufferfest bandwagon and gave a shot at Broga. I knew that I will suffer big time but the camaraderie with friends was not something I wanted to miss. Especially with special appearance by Ziff and Hailmi of CAR for their Broga debut. Yes, obviously I was totally koyak-ed and tapau-ed by them and yet still I found it satisfying. Why? Don't know la, perhaps the ayam percik at the end of the ride could be the answer.

CNY Weekend
Gone back to hometown. Been awhile since early December 2010. Eventually rain and flood subsided welcoming Wabbit Year. Feasting myself to the brim. Three days of the best of JB's finest. Kacang pool at Larkin, Mee Rebus Haji Wahid at Restoran Barakath, Taman Sri Tebrau, western cuisine at Kg. Melayu Steak House, my aunty's home made steam boat and laksa Johor, frozen Pau Roslan at Kg. Melayu. I had to give Larkin's putu piring a miss. Queueing at 2.00 p.m. dealing with not so friendly putu piring maker doesn't make any sense.


Bagan Lalang Roundup
I have yet to restart my run. Berapa kali mau restart daaa? Perhaps I'll be needing a jumper cable soon. 9 weeks to go for ENR. When dad got nothing to do, guess who fell prey to the boredom? We went to Putrajaya for the carnival. I don't know what carnival that was but saw the promo on TV at the barber. Amir wanted to see an F1 car on display. He sure did but the Lamborghini got him. He insisted wanting to watch the F1 race. How I wish I have the extra cash for the exquisite ticket price, and damaging my ear drums somemore.

Face painting for free
Sunday's ride was saved for the best. With the milage from Broga, momentum should be fair enough. I caught hold of a slow group ride to Bagan Lalang. A sunny day awaits with Maggi soup and Bryani Gam thrown in as rewards. Adding eat and fun to the endurance recipe was just plain weekend warrior stuff and I loved every second of it. Looks like the cycle bug got me again and with PCC Interstate in May, I don't plan to miss any weekend without a ride.

When the going gets tough, the clowns gets going

  12. Nik, your 2 months abscence was actually accumulation of 9 months! You have a very beautiful reason for that.
