marathon

yesterday marked the day i've completed my first full marathon. yes, FULL! am no longer a full marathon virgin *wink*wink*. but was a very much soaking wet marathoner, from the rain and the sweat, of course :P

about the run, it took me 6 hours and 29 minutes to complete a total distance of 42.195km (see here) route , which was horrendous due to few factors. it was raining heavily when the marshal flagged off the full marathon runners at exactly 5am in the morning. my toes wrinkled, there were some blisters at some unimaginable parts, again! and to add, the heaty late sunday morning... burnt by the sun :(

but the experience was priceless. this was the only running event i've participated that deserves 2 thumbs up. the smoothness of the event from the distribution of the race kit to the friendliness of the volunteers at water stations beats everything. the only bad point i would say is the attentiveness of some officials namely dbkl officers and traffic police at some checkpoints and main roads. there were a few that made some poor judgments that caused inconvenience to the runners and even caused a life. dear organisers, please remember to beef up the priority on the safety of the participants. it's so crucial...

oh btw, the bunny ask me to write this post asap. he's one of the silent readers :P. sorry and thanks dear ;)

lace

lacey lace. oh, how much i love lace. tried to incorporate as much of lace motif as possible into the wedding but simply can't due to budget constraint. pity me. but it's ok, everything was perfect as it is ;)

i just love my nikah outfit. as i've always said, simplicity is the key.

*the lovely nikah outfit designed by moi ;)

btw, managed to get another set of french lace outfit from the silk street to match with the songket for the reception. going for different theme this time around. a bit traditional (malay, that is) and darker tone. can't wait to see the result. finger cross! ;)

football

i know it's a cliche for bloggers to write something about football when the world cup season comes. me myself couldn't resist either :P. it's nothing much but to watch football is no longer fun. most players don't possess the passion for the game. they are just drama queens. for example, once tackled, they acted as if the entire bones in the body are broken. when in actual fact it was purely a minor fall.

why did they do that? my guess, it's all about the money... to win no matter what with any possible way they could. not genuine. not for the game. no fun :(

rusty

have to admit. the english is getting a bit rusty. blaming the 3 months of un-updated blog. what a shame :P.

it's about time to start polishing. with adjustment to the new responsibility, new family and new surrounding, do i even have the time to do it? i have no idea. we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?..

finally

finally... am relieved. everything went extremely well, Alhamdulillah. all the hard work paid off. things went just like what i've expected, almost :P.

and now, need to spare some time to write the thank you speech LOL. no kidding. well yeah, am real grateful for everything and the blessings from all. here goes...

thank GOD for everything. for all the good fortune, for the great well-being, great family and friends and most importantly for bringing mr bunny into my life, the best companion ;)

to the family, thanks for keeping up with this one demanding princess. didn't mean to be a bridezilla but..., only GOD knows :P

to all my friends, thanks for the warm wishes and for helping me out in every single way. thanks guys...
