When our celebrity Running Queen Lina alerted me to sign up the Men's Health Run, I was too late to dream of participating in the 12km Run. It was all snapped up so fast! Never mind, my honey & I still joined the 5km Fun Run. Actually, I was very greedy for their fabulous Goodie-Bags and this event was my 3rd time joining the fun at Putrajaya, never mind the light rain!
(Pix 1) I thought I could fool everyone about appearing on the magazine cover! Lina teased me that I was too big sized and probably fell out of the front page! Malu lah! Muahahahahahaha!....
(Pix 2) There were many usual stalls selling booster stuffs related to the running lifestyles like cleansers, corn flakes, drinks, gymnasium, slimming stuffs, minyak urut and even kasut! GO LIKE NEVER BEFORE! It was the first time I saw this kasut's products and they were so light & colourful. I could be seen 1 mile away wearing them.
(Pix 3) Fitness First had a booth which was very popular. It looked as if most runners are already members! So the FF easily rounded them up to lie down for a very tough competition of endurance!
(Pix 4) So many fellas freaked out and went flat kaput on the floor in 2 minutes. This friend still showed his thumbs up!
(Pix 5) This competition attracted the most crowd including the 2 clowns to cheer on after 4 minutes has passed! It was so tough to hold their tummies so long!
(Pix 6) I came to cheer the oldest competitor who is over 50 years old. In the end, he WON!!!! All the other younger men with 6 abs and huge arm muscles fell flat after shaking vigorously in trance. It was not easy okay.
(Pix 7) This Kasut-Man walked everywhere and attracted many ladies to pose in front!
(Pix 8) My honey preferred to kick the Kasut-Man from behind. Ouch!
(Pix 9) Suddenly, the skies went dark and it started to drizzle lightly making the 7000+ runners worried. The 12km participants were flagged off at 8pm and followed by the 5km runners at 8.20pm.
(Pix 10) Putrajaya is only beautiful at night. I always disliked driving around in the heavy traffic during office hours as I often got lost in big circles trying to locate the Ministry's buildings and offices. Bluek!
(Pix 11) It is very romantic to walk across this lover's bridge which Tun M wanted to create our very own "Pont Alexandre III" bridge in Paris...
(Pix 12) I was proudly declared the Champion Runner by the Ayam mascot. Here I was doing SK's Ah boy signature pose!
(Pix 13) Look at the nice Goodie Bags for ladies that comes in very thick canvas material with handles & draw strings!
(Pix 14) The men's Goodie Bag is also made of thick canvas with a rugged look! All the freebies came along with a free magazine, milk, oitment, shampoo, calendar, water bottle and etc.
(Pix 15) We were given free Milo drinks, foodies, bananas and this very yummy delicious cookie from TOUS les JOURS! Oh boy, I have to head over to their bakery soon as I really love this big sized heavenly cookie. Have you been to their newly opened bakery in Bangsar??
Skechers shoes (the Go Run & Go Bionic) are really popular now. They also has Go Trail or something.
ReplyDeleteAll very terang colour. :-D
I dare not wear terang shoes like shocking pink or yellow at my age. Faints!
DeleteAnay,
DeleteYour shoes very boring colour la. Now the trend is to be as terang as can be. Please update your running shoes. Lol
Aiyo I know that... I have a better shoes for hiking mountains. This one bought lelong from NB so many years ago! The soles still brand new cos only used in gym....
Deleteshy! Shy! Shy!....
yeah, i also want to get a pair of terang color shoes!! bored of those common colors like black, white, blue and brown already.. one day, i may wear something green or yellow or red, ah, nice!!!
DeleteOkay I will spray my shoes alien green!
DeleteThose colorful shoes look awesome! I like!
DeleteI vote for pink. You and celebrity queen Lina would make a lovely pair, though your admirers will get migraine watching neon yellow plus neon pink. :D
DeleteNice to have colorful shoes why too shy never try never know though Bananaz may not know the color its sure brightened up the run. Gotta check out this brand as all along would go the ones with a 'tick' maybe to go for a change. Favorite color is still purple. Was passing by a boutique and told Mango the purple dress is nice and she said 'blue lah'. Ooops the lady infront was like laughing to herself when she heard our conversation.
Deleteterang baru best la....at least night run people cannot see your face can still see your shoe leh.
DeleteI always want a Skechers shoes. The more colourful the more I like. So, Skechers shoes are in my wishlist now. I must go and get one pair of the Go Run & Go Bionic for myself and one pair for Jin Jin by 2014.
DeleteI hope Santa hears me.
Letchumi didn't join the planking contest kah? If win, can pass the hadiah to me if you dun wan. Hihihi
ReplyDeletePlanking was for men only. She could win if she did since she pandai buat Yoga upside down too.
Deleteoh, that yoga pose that Anay loves most on the bed?? :p
DeleteYoga is not for me lah Thambee. My bones will patah instantly.
DeleteI think Ah Boy is talking about Leychumi's yoga pose that Anay likes? *wink wink*
DeleteHaiks!... I pretend dunno lah.
Deleteyoga is for SP la
DeleteSo you and Letchumi hold hands and ran on Seri Gemilang bridge and re-enact a Bollywood scene or not? ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe ran so fast and finished within minutes. Anay belakang mari.
DeleteWHAT?? belakang mari??!!
DeleteAnay like to play from behind???? :-D
DeleteI lari from belakang lah. You 2 orang hamsap dei...
Deletewakakakaka...not their fault leh..u sendiri say belakang mari
DeleteI love tous le jours!!!
ReplyDeleteAnay, please belanja me a cookie!;-)
It was the first time I heard of this Korean brand. Damn heavenly nice. I must check out where is Telawi Square... mana tu? I will belanja you 1 cookie lah.
DeleteRight across BV II .
DeleteOkay okay...your territory ha!!!!! Thankssss!
Deletei read this and i also want a cookie from tous le jours from Anay~~
DeleteLet me find the shop first lah. Itu Mak Glam's territory.
Deletehard to miss la. After you lepak Sri Menerung, you can have coffe there :-D
DeleteI will go there soon!!
DeleteAnay... Letchumi wants to run this Sunday or not? I have a bib for Live Great Eastern Run, 12km. No t-shirt though, as I chose an xs size for my son.
ReplyDeleteI will ask her....her master's programme at UM has just started.
DeleteWah Lau Eh! Letchumy goes studying again for Master's Programmed at UM. She is really amazing. I can't study anymore.
DeleteGood afternoon Twilight Man...
ReplyDeleteFinally get to see your honey picture, hehe...
Delete9565, haha... Makes me think of 4D, hahaha....
DeleteNext year, u join the 12km? hehe...
DeleteHello Sharon... My honey's photo is in so many blog posts of mine esp the traveling ones. Yes next year I will get SK to join the 12KM run!!!
DeleteGo in Jan! Got Multi-purpose insurans run. Fun and well organized event. Starts at Padang Merbok. Jom! :-)
DeleteAiyoyo!!! We are not like Mak Glam who can lari every week la. We can mati one tak larat.
DeleteMaybe can get STP to come KL and join in too, hehe...
Deletethe first photo!! OMG!! saw the first photo only and i already love this post!! feeling so energetic and want to run together with Anay already~~
ReplyDeleteJangan cakap banyak okay? Next year we lari!
DeleteWhy wait? Come. I'll give you a list of upcoming runs for you to enter. :-P
DeleteI think there are too many runs in KL now. My legs will cry.
DeleteIf only I stay in KL, I might join in the run..
DeleteHHBC will become HHLari
DeletePhoto #1: very true with what Lina commented lah, Anay looked a bit too 3D for that 2D backdrop.. i've seen another friend, who is perhaps few inches shorter, posed just nicely into that magazine cover with his 2D pose.. that one can fool everyone!! but if Anay likes to be on the magazine photos, Thambee can recommend a few websites to do the photoshop dei~~ :D
ReplyDeleteYeah good idea... They gave me a copy of that magazine. I can super impose myself.
DeleteAnay should do SK's most favourite pose, may be Anay can fit into the magazine cover.
DeleteThe color of the shirt is quite catchy..
ReplyDeleteHahah..can't agree more with what Lina said...
Good job to you and ur wife for completing the run.
It is good to wear when there is blackout.
DeleteI like the color and indeed it's great to wear in the dark..
DeletePhoto #2: business people sure will not miss any opportunity to earn money dei.. i wonder if Anay bought anything from the stalls, you know, Anay always tend to buy a lot of souvenirs when he goes travel..
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy anything cos I parked my car miles away! After the run, the crowd was crazee and sweaty! When rubbed bodies, I so geli lo.
DeletePhoto #3-#6: wow, FF challenged the runners to do plank?? it's indeed not easy dei, needs very strong core muscle to be able to do this, i mean doing is not that difficult but maintaining and holding at that position for minutes sure will kill you.. that is what people do to strengthen their core muscles (i.e. have a flatter and firmer midsection).. but Anay didn't take a photo of the winner?? and what prize has he got??
ReplyDeleteThe winner quickly stood up and and his friends swarmed around him!
DeleteI forgot what prize he got. Oh my memory!
DeletePhoto #7-#8: wow, what a huge shoe!! is that the mascot of the event?? ooopss, doesn't look like it, but mascot for the brand Schechers!! why not that once-their-spokesperson Britney Spears appearing there to motivate the people and make more sales for the shoes?? now come to think about it, perhaps Letchumy will make a good spokesperson role indeed huh?? look at her pose, fantastic aje!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThat mascot was a young Indian boy inside and he was fainting from the heat! How did I know that he was an Indian? All his Indian friends followed him and I heard the shoe spoke in Tamil. Must be SK's cousin bradder la! Muahahaha
DeleteI am so outdated now. I never heard of Schechers!!!
Shy! Shy! Shy!
Runners dun care about Britney la. If they want to make runners crazy, they should invite Meb to come. Hes the face of Go Run shoes, if not mistaken :-D
DeleteI thought Usain Bolt would be better now. He is the face for running.
DeleteUsain Bolt doesn't do long distance running. Anyway, he's with Puma. ;-)
DeleteOoooo didn't know he is with Puma. I need to pay attention to this brand as their sport wears are reasonable.
DeletePhoto #9-#11: oh yeah, it was raining on saturday night and i was at a relative's house having open house party.. i was feasting on fried beehoon and rendang and fried chicken wings while Anay and 7000+ other runners were running in the drizzle.. actually i guess it would be nice doing that, since it's more cooling?? and seeing Putrajaya in the night in the rain is kind of a rare experience no?? oooh, "Pont Alexandra II"?? i think it would be more interesting if we are allowed to turn it into "Pont Des Arts" with all the padlocks, agree??
ReplyDeleteAdoi...That padlocks looked exactly like those in China. So damn ugly la.
DeleteYou sinful Thambee was feasting while I was dragging my feet gasping for O2...!!!
I will always try to join this night run, so fresh the udara!
Photo #12: woot woot!! bergaya betul lah.. said it and got it done!! that's how i like Anay, never just give empty promises like his good brother kukubird, muahahahaha!! eih, but your right hand a bit salah lah, it should not laying down 180° but slightly raised up at a 90° position lah, then only Anay will look more like running dei.. and you called that Nando's Ayam Penyet?? muahahahaha, later they will come and sue you like the case of McKFC lah~~ damn funny Anay!! :D
ReplyDeleteI could hardly stand on one leg on the wooden box. I nearly fell down. Thambee has got good gravity skills. Okay i will practice everyday so that I can pose SK's to "RUN" at Mt Emei.
Deletewow..Like your first picture! Really looks posing for magazine if not for the lower part... hahahaa... Great exercise and fun too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for liking!
DeletePhoto #13-#14: goodies bag!! i think i am becoming more and more uncle, and i will try all my best to get whatever goodies bag given for free!! muahahaha, read my post tomorrow dei about goodies and freebies.. not that i like everything inside, but it's that excitement to guess what could be available inside and that very moment you unwrap and see the contents.. i would say that's fun, surely we know there won't be anything expensive inside, yet it's that "guessing" thing that makes me excited..
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to your Uncle's post tomorrow.
DeleteI wonder which runs that Mak Lina collected the best Goodie-Bags?? I don't think this goodie bag of mine was so great except for it's comfy singlet and canvas bag! Bagus!
I don't look for goodie bags. I look at which organiser give a lot of free food after the run! LOL
DeleteI know it is Stanchart!!!!!
DeleteNope. Stanchart kedekut.
DeleteActually big races mostly kedekut. Hahaha
Go for smaller ones.that one makan byk. ;-)
This is news to me!! I thought they were generous enough. Next time I must ask letchumi go to smaller runs.
DeletePhoto #15: oh, that piece of cookies looked delicious man!! and also looked very posh with that french name.. so have you checked out their outlet already?? write a review post about that bakery after you have tried them.. please~~ :)
ReplyDeleteHuh! You want me to write a post review?? I better ask the boss first if he allows me to eat free samples. I am sure his business will be full house after I blog about the yummy cookies!
DeleteLately many people are joining this run or marathon. It's like trend but for me, I am a lazy person. Prefer sleep at home =P. There's a lots of goodies and condom? What's ur wife response when she saw that? Very curious. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteIt is a healthy and good trend to get the community to run. We have been leading much unhealthy lifestyle and overeating as seen in many blogs. How many people actually showed off their big fat bellies and high cholesterol?
DeleteMy wife didn't even bother to see inside the goodie bags!
One of the reason I like skechers shoes because of its bright color, looks happier!!!! =]
ReplyDeleteI bought a pair of pink sketchers from London two years ago..
DeleteVery comfortable!
I am so shy that I hardly know about this brand before the night run. Now I better upgrade myself and buang my old shoes. Sobs! Sobs!
Deletethe abs exercise is not difficult to do... just need to strike the balance on your body and distributes the weight evenly. You would be easily enjoy the moment :p
ReplyDeleteTZ must be a planking champion!
DeleteTZ hardly planks but texts non stop inside the gym. Tsk! Tsk!
DeleteI will test him soon!
Nice shoes!! I don't mean your shoes but those shoes on display haha
ReplyDeleteBooo! You perli me lah. I am so poor to buy those colourful ones.
DeleteLOL! Posing in front of Men's Health Magazine? :D
ReplyDeleteEh! I may be old but I am not shy and hide behind the bamboo groves like Panda. LOL
DeleteOh those endurance pose is very tough! I tried it before and could not last more than 2 minutes!!
ReplyDeleteYou are fat Panda...mana boleh??
DeletePutrajaya looks beautiful at night? I hardly go there at night. Maybe I should visit Putrajaya one of these nights! :)
ReplyDeleteAdoi.... go take a drive at night lah... It is a very beautiful government territory compared to Washington DC.
DeleteWow! Drooling at that big cookie from Tous les Jours! Yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have bamboo flavoured cookies for you! Wakakakakaka
DeleteI didn't even there's such a bakery in Bangsar! Must go there soon! : )
ReplyDeleteI will look for it too. Let's GO PANDA!
DeleteRUN FOREST RUN! HAHAHA... u seems to be still very good shape to run oh. I'm so skinny but not really into running... although im sure that statement gonna contradict whatever i said in my latest blog post :P
ReplyDeleteIf I am skinny like you I would join the MARATHON la... Please go for it and not waste your youth!
DeleteYOU??? on the cover of Men's Health? *faints* Muahahahahahaha!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTM on Men's Health cover = funny
DeleteSTP on Men's Health cover = hilarious
muahahahaha!!!
Muahahahahaha... AH Boy - High 5!
DeleteI am not shy lah STP...gimme some face pleaseeeee!
Sure looks like so much fun...and so many goodies to take home. Warning to SK - this is what he will look like in the years to come if he doesn't watch out! No worries, still can manage the urinating pose. Muahahahahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteit isn't bad to look like TM in years to come, no issue at all.. but if I'm to look like the Sibu Food Mayor then, I'll cry a thousand gallons of tears!!! muahahahahaha!!! :D
DeleteLMAO!!! Muahahahahahaha!!! STP needs the centre spread page to pose in full body!
DeleteIs all of KL running now?! o.0 I'll just continue hiking, thankyouverymuch. ;)
ReplyDeleteKL is into hiking too.
DeleteRemember Blackie & Tweety? :)
Rurousha - We people here are damn active! Besides running and climbing, we also have many robbers!
DeleteHello Sir!
ReplyDelete7000 runners? You gotta be kidding? They all came from Selangor only or all over Malaysia? I've never seen such a huge group of runners.
And I've never been to Putraja neither. I was told that the place is beautiful and well-planned. Is that true?
7000 is a medium sized running event Willie.
DeleteBorneo International Marathon sees 5000 runners registering this year but that is consider quite small.
Big races sees around 30-40,000 runners.
This is not a school organised running events. It does attract a lot of runners, from not only around KL but Malaysia and there are a number of overseas participation too.
Singapore running events see more runners. Our 30,000 runners at SCKLM is a small number comapred to theirs.
Fuyooo!
DeleteOh yeah, the pretty lady who posed with the KAsut Man has weird looking glasses. Too big for her and congrats for being the champion for Ayam Penyet mascot.
ReplyDeletewell, i don't remember the last time i joining runners events. Sorry not able to become touch and go blogger nowadays~
ReplyDeleteI think that was Mando's mascot not ayam penyet lah =.="
ReplyDeletereally, at first glance, i thought u appeared on the cover of that magazine. next time i want to join u run!
ReplyDeletewow....respect!! keep up the running! It seems really fun there!
ReplyDeleteWowie! We have a winner congratz to the champion!
ReplyDeletePhew!!!! Your 1st pixz..got style man ada gaya, mutu & keunggulan
ReplyDeleteWhy you did not show your abs 6 all in one pack? haha.
ReplyDeleteadoi all those guys kalah to an older ma. It look simple but really hard to maintain hor. You tarak try ka?
ReplyDeletekelakar la Letchumi...you know...each time i see her ...her look changes. Now she is like in her mid 20s.
ReplyDeleteI am back TM!!
ReplyDeleteWah this is such a healthy activity! Keep running ya!
And look at the goodies bag, so many stuff! Definitely worth all the sweats!
DeleteWah, poster boy!! Didn't know you're so active! Gotta take my hats off u!!
ReplyDeleteHi, blog walking here.
ReplyDeleteThe Kasut-Man is the most interesting part for me. I wonder if people untie his shoelace, would the Kasut-Man be able to tie it back. Hahahaaha.
Happy Thursday, tomorrow yo.
That’s cool idea getting place on the magazine. Wonderful photos from the run... night scenes are fabulous. I understand why they conduct runs on night... rather early morning marathons here. Hope u had fun
ReplyDeletewhoa boss ada lari! dun pray pray!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks as if there was a wonderful turn out for both runs, and I think you had a great time. The goodie bags were certainly packed. I really like your night photos of the city and bridge.
ReplyDeleteWow, very interesting! all the photographs looking spectacular and some funny.. specially i like the lover's bridge..seems amazing..
ReplyDeletesuch a great experience thanks for sharing..or yes, To explore the the seven wonders of the India please visit my new post.

I like the front page photo op, that's quite cool.

ReplyDeleteBTW, I just updated my blog. If you are frustrated with AirAsia go read my latest post.

Healthy living, and the goodies bag look so attractive! I would love shocking green, yellow or red on the shoes, like what SK says, bored of black, white, or blue.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun night run. I didn't even know there's a MH run. There's always next year ;-)
ReplyDeletelol :D Nice!
