Meant For It

I am grateful that I'm given this gift.
This kind of special gift that not everyone is awarded with.

I am meant for it, meant for sports, meant to beome this active girl.
I play most of the games, from track and field, badminton to volleyball.
Although not very expert in each of the game.

When I was 16, when I first ran 400m I won gold in district of Kuala Terangganu.
And was selected for the district team, made me the first female student from MRSMKT to go for the state team in track event.
Terengganu has always been the best state when it comes to sports.
And my 4x400m relay team won gold in MSSM Terengganu.

In the meantime in MRSM, I took part in Taekwondo, and I won Gold in Taekwondo Championship MRSM Se-Malaysia and also several medals in club championships.

And I was selected to compete in Sukan Remaja Pahang which I won silver in my category, defeated by a 21 year-old Kuantan fighter and immediately brought me to the SUKMA team of Pahang.

When we were made compulsory to take Hockey in one of the week in first sem of Form 5.
I impressed the Hockey's teacher of MRSM in our 2nd lesson and news and rumours spreaded that I played it great in class.I didn't even know what made me play that so easily.
I was invited by the coach of Hockey's team to play Hockey. But my track coach turned the offer down.

In MRSM we had to undergo the physical test every semester. And my record for 2.4km run stayed still which was below 12 minutes. And that year I won first in cross-country 5km of the school and I was selected for cross country event of the state. I got 12th, sadly.

In my university years, when I first exposed to Kayak, I was spotted and selected to MASUM 2011 and I got 3rd place in TK2 with my partner Shakirah which shocked most of the people out especially the coach. No one had expected me to win and with only 1 month of short training and I was given the most hopeless event. During training, the coach had assigned me to this event because it was the most hopeless event to win because of the existence of national kayakers from what I was told.

And I never mentioned, I can't swim, at all. So I took swimming class since October which offers 12 s
lessons in UM swimming pool. After some practices, that swimming instructor, I never knew her name shocked within the last 2 classes and asked me whether I knew how to swim before came to her class. She loved the way I swim and she said those strokes were so perfect. And she said I'll be qualified into competition if I train more. I know she mean it since she did not tell 15 other swimming learners in the class Of course, I was thrilled.
I really appreciate what she was saying. Means alot to me. It is all like Deja Vu, so similar with the Hockey stuff the coach told me.

So I figured, I'm quite good at this. =) Thankful. now I recall everything and I found out I'm really meant to do good in sports. All I need to do is just focus and put in more effort.

Thanks to the sporty gift I have been awarded. However, there were a lot of opportunities to outshine that I missed. Life's like this. You fall, you take, you give and you lose. So look ahead and all the thing I have missed become something I cherish.

OMG

OMG, Omg, OmG!!!
Crap...

How am I supposed to be in one team with Amirul Syazwan and Azwan Bunjing when their running time is twice faster than mine?

Save me please!!!

9th January 2012

I'm wondering what was I doing and what was happening on the same day last year.

When it comes to buying a running shoes, there are so much to consider.
Price, types of running shoes, colors, design and even its results and effects of wearing it.

You should read this,
All three painful truths and some unveiled facts and history that are I have none of the acquaintance.
The painful truths about running shoes...

In a paper for the British Journal Of Sports Medicine last year, Dr Craig Richards, a researcher at the University of Newcastle in Australia, revealed there are no evidence-based studies that demonstrate running shoes make you less prone to injury. Not one.

"We used to run in canvas shoes,' he said.
'We didn't get plantar fasciitis (pain under the heel); we didn't pronate or supinate (land on the edge of the foot); we might have lost a bit of skin from the rough canvas when we were running marathons, but generally we didn't have foot problems.

Last in 2011

On 24th December, Wendy brought me to Jelebu Seremban for a run, which is known to be the last running event held in 2011, Larian Bukit Tangga.

I didn't know it was a 12km uphills until I got there, which I was totally bewildered.
And I was getting more stunned after the 6km because the uphill road were not typical slopes we have encountered. Contrary, they are far more inclined, almost 80 degree, far more inclined and long than our infamous Bukit Cinta.

I gave up after 7km, and started walking until the end of the Bukit Tangga. And I got 18th place which won a cash prize of RM50.
Fortunately, I have achieved obscure target set by Wendy ( 19th place) But she seemed undeligtful because I arrived at finish line after a few mid-aged women.

19 December

Arggghhh.
Super duper very very tired...
Legs are painful, my back is stressful..

It was a super shoker day.
I might have struck by some undesired events, which made me feel so numb.

I wonder how those Irongirls go through everything..

Zzzzzzzzzzz

With Pleasure

Arggghh... I'm having 232 drawings to be printed out.. Busyyyyyyy..

I went to Varsity Lake to watch and support 1st Kolej Kayak Team on Saturday morning.
When I showed up at the shade where 1st Kolej Team was sitting. They were kind of surprised to see me.

And my ex-teammates which I had known them through last year SUKMUM were participating this year too. I'm so glad to see them.
Guess what?

They called me "Legend". " Ini Legend dah datang nie!" They said to others.
Oh...  I'm so glad I had that honour to be called LEGEND although I'm not that Legend.
I kind of amazed most of them with my performance last year. Thanks to my partner Peter Choo.
I had also gone through a lot to win from SUKMUM to MASUM although it was my first time to involve in kayak. It was not that easy as it looks.

This year's result was not as good as last year, I guessed it's because lack of training and guidance.
I figures when I got there that they did not even hold paddles in correct way. Sigh...
And mental is important, if you're not thinking to win, you will not win.
This is what I've learnt from authentic LEGEND.

With 1st Kolej Kayak Team 2011

Tomorrow will be an exciting day. Bless me.

Penang I'm coming!

I'm going to Penang this weekend!!! Yeeehoooo!!!!!

So it's official now. Check the ticket below!

Haha.. It's going to be a 2 days 1 night trip only. Too short? Yeah, it's short. But let's hope it's gonna be a short but meaningful and full of fun! And it's gonna be a part of my memories.

Jeannie, see you in 2 days?

The purpose I'm going: Penang Bridge International Marathon.

It's genuinely a part of my wishlist since I was 18, maybe earlier but it became a must-achieve-thing clearer and clearer when I was 18 at Kedah Matriculation Collge. When I was there, there are too many North Malaysian especially Penangite in matric wearing the finisher tee and made me green with envy!

Now I'm gonna accomplish a must-achieve-thing in wishlist!

Let's hope the best of me and a SAFE trip. Thanks.

Going to write soon...

My First Malakoff Dualthon

Here is the time to write.

Oh Right, about Malakoff Dualthon, saddening me, my team lost.

My team made it in 7th place in Mixed Team Categories, right behind another UM mixed team which got 6th.

Another UM team for Men Team Universities Category got the 8th place. 

Puzzled and sad. Did we disappoint the UM Sports Centre, and also the UM students slash volunteers who were standing under the sun supporting us while they were dutying?

We were left behind other team during the cycling section, our bicycle was not the kind which is expensive and was not even mountain bike. The bike was rent from UM Sports Centre. That was why we could not catch up to other bicycle riders. And delaying timing. I ran badly too when it was my running time.

I was the last runner. It was very tiring. The route in Rimba Ilmu was very tough for me. I had had not enough training. This is the consequence. The route was a little inclined and I think my weaken mentality obstructed me to push harder. This is NOT GOOD.

I need to train harder. And this has crossed my mind.  If Amirul Syazwan can do it, so can I.

Thanks and good night.

I will write soon.

This picture again =)

Tomorrow

There will be a little race in UM tomorrow morning.

My team's target is get placing in top Five. Though they just wanna participate for warming-up for following races.
Hopefully we can do it, hope I can do it!

I am so regret for not training hard. Bless me...

Can't talk. Gotta go.
Write again tomorrow.

R word

It has been quite a while that I have not running.

Worst match my friends had ever seen

It's over.
MASUM is over. Goodbye MASUM.
There are hard and great times during this whole month.
But it's worth it.

First battle

Pray for tomorrow.

I don't want to let you down, my parents, my coach and everyone.

Bless me.

I'll do it again, for mum and for all of you out there.

Good luck, Siew Jye! You can do this!

My teammates who're going to fight this together! Glory!

Second week

Today was the first day I approaches Karate-Do.

There are so many rules and different patterns to be adapted.

But I wish

I will be GREAT.

Like how I used to be.

Thank you to my Master Liu in Lanchang. Your words are still fresh in my mind. So hard to forget from time to time, for ever.

4th June 2011

But it is going to be just me later.

I have a lot of catching up to do.

Hope everything is running PERFECT!
Hope that i will be GREAT!

Going to write soon. =)

28th May

I think

I don't run anymore.

征服Gunung Tahan

24小时前，从半岛最高的山，Gunung Tahan回来。

路途中真的好辛苦。在高山上，要喝河水，吃不饱的食物，一天还要走超过十小时的路途。

辛苦，真的辛苦。。可是，还是很开心能完成路程。

这四天高攀Gunung tahan的过程，吸取了很多教训。

很肯定的是我还不够training,还很脆弱。。。

除此，我也体验到人的自私和各种丑陋。。。

可是不重要，我还是不会用他们对我的态度对待他们，因为，I want to be a better person than you.

现在的我，双脚疼痛，左脚趾甲受伤，恐怕趾甲就快掉落。因为我们爬山路途很多沼泽地带。双脚长时间困在鞋里，没有空气流通，结果就发炎。

下星期有比赛，希望尽快康复。要开始training了。

“要想在众人面前有多风光，就要在众人背后有多辛苦。天下没有免费的午餐！我还要继续加油！”

22/5/2011 到达Gunung Tahan高峰

Sunday Life

I have come up a decision to join a charity run with my lovely friends.

Event: Larian Amal Shapadu.

Venue: Dataran Kemerdekaan, Shah Alam

Date:17th April 2011

Distance: 4km

This is my first time i join race organized outside campus.
I get the 7th place in my category.
It was a super great experience! Surprisingly, even auntie runs faster than me.
She came to me afterwards, to ask me whether did I train myself.
I said I was busy with my academics recently, and she turned out unhappy and accused me for giving so much excuses.
Gosh.....
Anyway,
Congratulations to Amirul Syazwan for winning.
And Thanks to him, for making this happen.
Thanks to Azrie too, for the photos. =)

I am tired.
I will be writing soon. =)
Good luck in final year project and final exam. =)

Another Running Event

I was invited to join a running race held by military club of 5th college last Sunday.

The prizes were not that attractive.

Well, There was no harm giving it a try.

The distance of the race was about 2km.

It was an unfamiliar place and strangers around us when we arrived.

Though, I did recognize a few runners who joins almost all the marathon and running races held by either inside campus or off-campus.

There were about 45 runners for female categories which technically worried me.

All-time marathon champion, Amirul told me to lead the group when running, which means I should probably sprint a little bit to be the first ahead the group.

Well, that's what exactly my coach told me when I was Form 4. He's right!!

It was really killing me when I stride as fast as I could to be in front of everyone.

I had barely slept the night before, that's why making me suffocating.

I felt tiring but my mind keep reminding me that I had to hold until the end.

I heard footsteps not far from me...And all I knew is continue to run.

When i was about 800m to the finish line, I met my friend from male category, running their route.

He told me behind me was clear, nobody within his view.

Wow~nevertheless, I did not dare to trust him. There MUST be somebody, maybe hid behind a lamp post, which he probably didn't see.

In the end, I got the first place and won a hamper for that.

The sunlight narrowing my eyes

I felt nausea not long after finish the race. @@

=) =) =)

The runners

Moonlight jogathon

Grrrrrr.....

Ahhhh...i am so exhausted!!! I am feeling like my body is signaling the red light, giving " low battery" sign..

Hoaaaa... and now i am inhaling more mucus~ This running nose has been haunting me for more than a week!!

Okay..Let's back to the point @@

I was taking part in a Moonlight Jogathon organised by 6th college (Which is practically all medic students residence) . Honestly, i wanted to do this since long time ago, which I mean since I first got into this campus. Unfortunately, there was no one close to me was interested and I was so silly for chickening out to do it alone.

This time, I was facing the same situation. It's not as simple as the situation which you're choosing a Vincci or Nose handbag. I have invited a few friends from Facebook. And only got ONE reply which she clicked attending. I was delighted and hopeful. " Luckily there's someone there who has the similar hope".

As the date of the race approaching, my friend seemed to have less interest. She didn't tell but I knew it. I could perfectly feel it. Whenever i asked whether we are going to participate, she didn't show any commitment in her answer. Maybe that was not an answer after all. She just asked me back " You wanna go?" or a simply " Don't know" and " not sure". Well, I hope I was not acting too suspicious. Being a Piscean makes me good at observing people. Ohh..please don't doubt that. Anyway, every piece of my heart was still hoping she would change her mind.

Then, there was the day arrived~

Knowing that she gave up the event, I send a message to a Malay guy who is surely taking part to let him know I would like to go together with him. 

There, I saw everyone dressed in vigor running attire, some wear shorts and some wear sleeveless marathon jersey with tights. Wow.. this is really making my heart pounds.

After some introduction-> rules -> and groupie stretching, the events came to the crucial beginning.

Girls were guided to the starting line, parking space near to the medical faculty. My heart was pounding really hard. Why I always have to be so nervous each time I am taking part in an event? I kept telling myself to be relax. Then I heard a female committee high-pitched voice:" Semua ready?" I did something really embarrassing which I raised my left hand and said :" Not yet. one minute please." The rest were looking at me horrifically, Okiee...I guess they were all really fully-ready.

Then, the whistle beeped. There were like 6 people ahead of me. I thought I must follow closer to the first participate. While running down the slope, I could feel my shoe laces of left leg started to loosen. Oh Gosh.. please not now.. However, I was able to hold until the runner behind me was far enough.

The race was harder than I have thought. I was completely suffocating on the halfway. I was being polite when the committee at the check point gave me the rubber band. I said " Thank you" to them as i thought it's hard for them standing there and waiting for us to pass through.

Oh..Finally and eventually, I ended the jogathon with second place, which I have maintained from the start of the race. And the 3rd person was far enough after me. But I was not proud at all because I was also being left quite a distance away from the first runner. Like usual, I lied down at the moment I reached the finishing line because I felt really suffering. I couldn't catch my breath...ZZzzzzzz

Skipping all the small details that had happened. To my surprise, my coursemates Jeannie and Miinyee appeared a few steps in front of me. I was immediately delighted.. Haha...While waiting for the prize giving ceremony, I have made friends with the medic students there. They were all kind and friendly. They were talkative and sweet... It was really my pleasure to know them. What I have got for winning were a piece of certificate, a silver medal and a big-sized T-shirts. @.@

So..this was really a great and precious experience for me. Wow..it was 24 hours ago though, I can still feel the excitement. Now, I am really exhausted, I skipped Kenny Rogers gathering with my cousemates for volley ball game with my roomate and friends. God, they must be really mad at me...  Well, the volley ball game didn't happen right and end well due to some player arrangement mistakes. But, it was a great workout though.

And now I am sensing my muscular aching and a few part of my body are really painful. It's like my body has used up to the limit. It's time for rest. Finally finish the post for this event. ZZzzzz...

Jeannieck, Me and Miinyee. Watermelon as meal after run.

Track and field Forever

从小就很喜欢跑，很喜欢田径。

我记得小学时为了要代表学校参加比赛，在老师面前，我拼命的跑。

当时的我只知道，一定要比其他选手领先，所以不顾一切向前跑。

结果真的代表了学校 。田径生涯应该是从那时候开始的。

到了中学，在学校运动会拿第一很轻而易举，到MSSD竞争都很大。

可能印度人太强了吧。

接下来，转校到terengganu读书。才有真正的成就。

在MRSM,有十分专业的教练训练我。虽然不同种族，可是教练对我真的很好。

我不会忘记你的哦，Mr.Izaimi。很遗憾以前没有拍照留念。

在terengganu也发掘了跑100m和400m的能力。

可是，400m真得不好跑哦。

参加田径的一切有甜也有苦。

一系列地狱式训练让我睡着觉脚都会痛。走路也像机器人一样。

虽然没有拍照留念，可是很多的奖牌还有在啦。幸亏还留着。

如今虽然没有跑得以前那么快了， 可是人老了就是这样的吧?

凡事都有曾经。

David Beckham 现在也没以前那么强了。。哈哈。。安慰自己一下。很好的例子吧？

希望毕业以后还会有机会参加=）

放一些以前的照片。不知道谁拍的。可是真的要谢谢他。

看到我吗？唯一没有包头的。还有一个礼篮在旁边。我赢olahragawati得来的。

进了大学first year 的track and field, Bukit Jalil Stadium
