If you are guessing what am I praising about? Guess no more! It’s the Sutera Harbour Annual Sunset Charity 7K run 2009!
LOL…you must be wondering why am I so happy about it…. well, firstly….doing charity is good….not only you feel good helping others in need but you also feel good about yourself too…I am participating this charity run every year, you can see every year’s tees in my closet…and it’s anticipating just waiting for it to come….this year it falls on the 18th of July! Plus, I am not running alone anymore this year! *smile*Date: 18th July 2009
Time: 07.45 a.m.
Time to go work…. it’s Saturday, so I am working half day…it’s a relax Saturday as no one is in the mood for work… “Weekend la dude!” Dear came to fetch me after work and we head to my house for lunch…since my house is just situated 5 minutes distance from my work place…*laugh*….. after that, we just hang around in my room until around 3p.m. something….time to change! Yay~! Wearing my brand new Sutera Harbour charity run tee….I am feeling great already….there were four of us in the house which includes me, dear , mum and bro….everyone is wearing the same tee…
lol~ I wondered why it doesn’t include the date and the annual number on the tee this year…seems a lil empty….anyway, it’s still a tee! We depart from home at around 3.55p.m.Date: 18th July 2009
Time: 04.30p.m
“Bo parking neh!” I said. OMG~ the place was crowded with cars…. it takes us about 5 to 10 minutes stuck in the traffic jam at the entrance of Sutera Harbour after the traffic light… we dropped off my mum and my bro at the front before going around to find a parking…. NONE at all~! There were parking left at the end of the road…. which is about 15 minutes walk from the starting point…. *damn*…we were already walking some distances even before the run starts…. lolz~ we parked the car at almost the end where the first check point is situated at…. what to do…we are left with no choices…but I have to admit that the sunset view from our parking place is so nice....
The starting point are crowded with humans…. and it’s a pleasant view…lol~ I love it when it comes to this part every year…. it’s aerobic time man! One more Two more….do it together!! 
The beats of the song was not so blood pumping…. and the moves of the aerobic you asked? Nah~~ just simple moves…not blood pumping at all…. What do you think it would be if they turn on some hot music and dance off some cool moves? Something like “I’m coming” by Rain? Hahaha~ Impossible…. it’s not a concert or dance performance, it’s an aerobic session…. *swt*… Stop dreaming at the clouds and get back to the earth~! Anyway, I did took some pictures at the starting point….lol….this is all I do – If I’m not dreaming my mind off, I would be taking pictures for sure….

Time: 5.17p.m.
“Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppp” The siren went off and there we go~! It’s the time to start running…. People were pushing around as if you were looking at packed sardines…. LOL~ my mum even told me some fell at the starting line before the run even started cause everyone is pushing….it’s a no winner no medal no prizes run….everyone is a winner in the end because you are running for charity….but if you completed the run in under 77 minutes, you will be entitled for a lucky draw ticket….who knows….you might be very lucky and might have yourself winning the grand prize at the end of the day….
LOL~ The starting was fine…dear and me jog a little trying to keep up with everyone’s pace…. since it’s a charity run…you should run a lil…haha~ upon reaching the first check point, I ran out of breath….I can’t believe that it was this “breath taking”….it’s only a mere 10 or 15 minutes small run?! We were back at our car which is situated near the first check point…. we were thinking to hide in the car, only joining the people when they started to run at first…LOL~ but we didn’t…. It’s obviously that I am lack of doing exercises daily…. my body feels heavy already from the 15 minutes run…. clearly I didn’t do any preparation and warm ups for this…. Dear was so energized and he asked me not to stop running…since they did not provide any drinks pit stop at the first check point liked previous year….I forced myself to keep running without a pause after taking the first check point…. *Gasping hard for air* …. breathe in breathe out!! “Try not to breathe with your mouth when you are running” dear told me when I stopped running and was gasping for air…. “You were breathing with your mouth, taking in and losing so much air from your mouth, that’s why you were gasping for air so fast” I looked at him with a “not enough air face” trying to do as he teach… “Try breathing with your nose, hold your breath for some time before letting it out with your nose”…. I tried to do that but it went back to the old “breathing with mouth” condition after some time….LOL~ guessed I am used to my way! I started to walk after that cuz I am in an insufficient of air mode….. not that I am tired of running….I just don’t have enough air to do so…lolz~ I totally lost it when we reached the road heading to Wawasan…. 
the drink pit stop can be seen already but I lost all my energy….I am getting slower even when I am walking…dear was a bit worried when he saw my face in warm red colour….it was hot and I couldn stop gasping for air….WTH~ I AM NOT OLD~ I AM NOT OLD~ I can’t believe I got so tired so fast….it was clear that my stamina was not as strong as before…recalling my old days in secondary…I used to dance 2 hours non-stop with my friends every week back then….now that when it’s not even an hour, I am already exhausted gasping hard for air like shit after a mild run….time passed where people grew and changed….*Aahhhh~* felt more relieved after having a drink at the pit stop….but we still have to continue the run after getting the second pit stop….well, walk at least!Date: 18th July 2009
Time: 6.20p.m
Dear has a strong stamina….. LOLZ~ I managed to capture his face when we were almost back to the ending point…. see how energetic he was....
…. I almost got up to his back but I insisted to walk back to the finishing point…. “It’s the first time I reached the finish point at such a late time, felt different actually, the sky had darken a lil” dear said that to me….
LOL, if it wasn’t for me, dear has reached here a long time ago cuz I knew he can run non-stop from the starting point to the finish…. he doesn’t even looked tired at all…and to my surprise…he doesn’t sweat much! Wow, I almost fainted when he looked like he’s up for another round of run…. 
I sat exhausted on the road while dear went to grab us a drink…
100 PLUS for the tired runners! Yay~! And it’s chilled! *aaaaaahhhhhhhh* refreshing enough for me to gain my energy and breath back… *giggle* “I wondered who said that she is ‘very kuat de ma’ all this while, and now she is like a all worn-out machine” LOL~~ me me me…I know it’s me….so paiseh….=.= 
The stalls in the tennis court were all opened…. it’s food selling time….almost dinner time where everyone are looking for food already….especially after the energy grabbing run….Of course, all money from the selling today are to be donated to the charity fund as well….there were all kinds of food prepared by the hotel staffs….looked tasty and inviting but it’s a lil pricy….you need RM 5 for a small bun…I was like @.@…..Dear said it’s better to find something at a reasonable charity price and you can have your stomach filled in the end….in the end, I bought myself a plate of fried mee for RM 4, a cup of steamed corns for RM 2, a packet of potato wedges for RM 4, dear’s burger for RM 4 and a cotton candy for RM 2…..We’ve donated all together RM 50 for charity today….LOL~ doesn’t sound much heh….but at least there’s a little contribution….cuz a little from everyone makes a lot in the end…imagined how many thousands people were here today.…*muehehehehe* It was charity performance all through the night…. there were special DJs invited from KL…Malaysian stars liked Adam from AF2…. singing, dancing, games and bands made the tennis court alive throughout the night
…. and don’t forget the lucky draw that everyone’s waiting for….. this is how the night ends for the Sutera Harbour 9th annual Sunset charity run 2009!
