#Pray for QZ8501

2014 has been one of the most unfortunate year for our country Malaysia. No one in Malaysia will argue that 2014 has been one of the most trying years in our nation’s history, with tornadoes, floods, haze, downed flights, scandals, dengue and literally every wrath you can possibly imagine. Before we all can settle down from those previous crisis, a new one will come up. The missing flight QZ8501 is our latest crisis. The flight of AirAsia from Subrajaya to Singapore went missing on 28th December 2014. With 162 on-boards (155 passengers and 7 crew members), my deepest condolences to their family. Let's us pray that QZ8501 will be found soon. GOD bless.

I'm really impressed with how Tony Fernandes handle the crisis of QZ8501. He showed his personal brilliance, calmness, compassion and commitment to resolve these horrible crisis. This is why I idolize him so much. Here you can read why I say so:

Unlike our prime minister, there is so much to be learned from him. My last wish before 2014 ends," Let's hope that QZ8501 will be found in no time and on board are in safe condition."

My First 21 km

Today, I ran the first 21 km in my life. I joined UTP Step Up Challenge 2014 for the category of 21 km Half Marathon. 21 km is by far the longest distance run that I have joined so far. The run started around 6.30 a.m. and damn it, I slept until 6.05. So I brush my teeth in a hurry and have few sip of my Dymatize Whey Protein shake with added Quaker Instant Oatmeal. Seems like I am immune to my alarm now, coz they don't even work for me anymore. And I set it like around 8 times. Then I rushed to the starting point of the run. Luckily I made it in time, as the run was supposed to start at 6.15 a.m.

To be honest, this is my shirt after the run, soaked in my sweat. Not gonna wash it coz that the smell of satisfaction.

Then we started to run, The participants were not that much. Everybody was running at ease, except our friends from Africa. They are basically rookie Usain Bolt, Well, they deserve it, The top three place was win by all of them.

I have the perfect satisfaction after finishing the run. It is a new milestone I've achieved. To my surprise, I was able to finish the run as top 10 runners. I was the 8th runner to finish the run. However, to my disappointment, there are no any special acknowledgement for the top 10 runner as all the first 60 runners get the same medal an certificates. Although you finished at top 10, you still gonna get the same things the 60th runner get. Never mind, at least, I know about it. Perhaps it's because I was wearing a red undies during the run, and hence the lucky number, 8. Now that I have finished my first 21 km, I'm going to challenge myself to go for extra miles. Peace out.
