Last week after my exam at Manara BHL Penang I met with my old Sains Kedah friend, Lim Soon Heng. We were in the same class for 5 years. He was the one who introduced me to SLR. He bought Olympus OM10 and we used it to shoot school events.
He does not change much. For me, I look like age has taken its toll.
Fire show by waiter. I confirmed with her that this place served halal food before we seat.
This plate with mixture of seafood cost RM50+
The OM10 from the net
I sent my canon cameras a few times for some sort of repair. The latest one was the shutter replacement of my Canon 20D.
They quoted me RM400+. Too expensive for old camera. Then I asked for discount. Straight away they gave me 50% discount from the labour charge.
Morale of the story: Don’t be shy to ask for discount from Canon Service Centre.
I don’t want to write about the trail again. It was written here and the track is the same. Anyway, the organiser, Mizi of Danish Event put up this event enjoyable for everyone.
If you want more pictures of you during jamboree or any cycling events, look for tandop and ride with him.
This post just to publish my pictures took by him.
A lot more pictures are here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/36316050@N05/sets/72157624544288086/
I need to pass 2 modules to obtain Fund Management License from Securities Commission. Module 9 on Fund Management Regulation and Module 10 on Asset and Fund Management.
I passed module 9 on 20 July and module 10 only yesterday after 5 attempts. I thought I can pass easily the 10 because of my accounting background but it is more on finance. Beta, standard deviation, correlation, options haunted me for the last 2 months. Alhamdulillah – berkat doa famili dan rakan2. Now I can feel more relax.
Yesterday, after exam at Menara BHL Penang.
Friday, 16 July 2010, 9am, as planned, Man, Zam and me started riding from Simpang Pulai Bomba Station heading to Tanah Rata.
It was all climbing after 5km. After 15km, Zam turned back to starting point and drove the car up. Zam turned from rider to support. TQ for all the drinks.
Our first goal was to reach Kampung Raja. 60km ride took everything out of us. The first peak is 1,500m and then 7km downhill to Kg Raja. We finally reached Kg Raja at 3 pm and had our lunch.
Then 10km slow ride to the highest peak of 1,629M at Equatorial Hotel and finally we were rewarded with downhill to Tanah Rata.
Driving at this route is tiring enough, imagine riding 10km per hour average with never ending climbing!
Some facts from my garmin:
Distance: 81.20km
Start time: 9.03am | Finish time: 5.50pm
Total ascent: 2,092m, descent: 687m
Calories: 4940 (the most burned in a day to date)
Weather: Hot, cloudy and some drizzling. 3 liters of water and 2 bottle energy drink.
Bomba Station – spacious place to park. Nice food stall just in front of it.
After 20+ km, Nasir stopped us and feed us with Nasi Lemak
Enjoying nice scenery.
Highest point = Equatorial Hotel
At the registration point of Thompson Trail Fun Ride.
“Take note that there will be photographers stationed at various points along the routes to take pictures. So don’t try to take pictures whle you are riding, what you need to do is to focus on your ride as your safety is paramount and when the event is over, visit this site to see your photos.”
What I wish to highlight here is – the above statement was written in last year event. And I did not bring my camera and as promised, there were many photographers along the way.
The later issue was, you have to pay for your photos and the sad thing was I cannot find any of my pictures. I just wondering why they cannot do something like this for riders to download their photos?
I will definitely bring my own camera or maybe DLSR for this event, if I join. Many beautiful scenery to capture.
Saturday, 2.30 pm, 11 of us on the mission to climb to Titi Besi from Titi Hayun through 1,200 steps of Tangga Kenari. It was part of Great Adventure training.
Titi Hayun approximately 100m from sea level. The rest hut at the end of Tangga Kenari is 280m from sea level and Titi Besi is 750m from sea level.
We took 2 hours to arrive at Tangga Besi and 1 hour to descent.
Mission accomplished. I was ok on that day but a day after, I can feel the muscle pain.
There are so many fake stuff in Malaysia but this one really got my attention. By the way it is not about the act of attempting to fake ‘sir’ title but news said what I want to say for a very long time.
We are the society obsessed with title, UK newspapers wrote. We look up to people with title. There are so may titles around. To name a few – Dato’, Datuk, Tan Sri, Dato Seri, Dato Wira, Tun, etc. Somebody must do a doctorate in this! Or maybe print a book on this as a guide for people like me who have no idea what all this titles are about.
Enough said.
