Fantastic Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's day and I never knew I can do so many things in a day. It was Sunday and so naturally I have to get up very early in the morning, see my patients in the hospitals and then arrive in Church before 8.15 am. (remember be in Church on time!) True enough, Pastor Ashok was at the entrance checking on punctuality besides giving all of us a warm welcome. It is always very nice to see Pastor with his broad smile.

All the mother's in Church were a happy lot. Why not? They all got a free towel! Truly it was a day to reflect on what our mothers have gone through bringing us up to be what we are today. We truly appreciate it but often enough we do not express it. So from today always say something nice to our mothers. If there is nothing good to say, just keep quiet rather than complain. This advice goes to me as well.

Dr. Su was good with his sermon on"How much to make the rest of your life the best of your life". He emphasised the importance of putting the Will of God first before all other considerations. And our need to live out His will.

Dr. Su loves to illustrate his points with Chinese proverbs. Ancient Chinese scholars were smart intellectuals. They recorded their thoughts and preserved them for generations. Dr. Su has a candid way of taking a person's weight. Oops, definitely not in his office I but only at one's home privately. Well, the way to assess whether one is overweight or obese is just simply to strip down and stand in front of a mirror. Then start jumping up and down. If you notice areas of floppy movements on the body where they should not then you have excess fat. Smart isn't it?

After service the Garden Terrace was filled with people enjoying a sumptious brunch. Mothers acknowledged our appreciation. All others acknowledged the good food. We shall have another round for Father's Day!!!!

Evening was spent with Dr. Hoe from KL who was on her way back from Sg. Petani. Still as charming as before but we couldn't wish her Happy Mother's Day. Well, well, well she is still unattached. Any suggestions?? Please email me.

Spent the rest of the free time in the evening with my boy playing badminton. Did a marathon session with our CG websiste at night. Guess what ?? I have completed the remaining webpages. Surprise! Surprise!! Please go to the website and find out more. www.cgmc.infoline.com.my One last bit to complete is the index page. I have just found an automatic daily update for bible lessons from a respectable site. Hope to put it up this week.

Being youthful 50 and beyond

Visited the Toy Museum in Penang over the weekend. This museum was featured in the newspapers a couple of weeks ago. It belongs to an engineer with a passion for toys. He has collected these toys over the years. Its really good but the entrance fee is rather expensive. Adults rm 10 and children rm 6. Will post more pictures next. Uploading pictures into blogger is very slow. Well we cannot be young anymore but at least be youthful and enjoy life. Cheers.

Day after the 7Km Run of the 2006 KL Marathon....

Reflections

Hmmmm....I survived the run. Not bad considering that I have not run for quite a long, long, long time...and all I managed was to put in some "practice" runs in the gym & around the office a week before that.

The Day
Got up at 5.20am as I needed to pick Josh's fren Keen Wai and then set off to pick Josh (he stayed overnight at his best fren's place). Discovered that the highway leading there was closed (for the full marathon) and we had to detour to Pantai before reaching Taman Desa. As we set off we discoverd we had not prepared properly....gosh we were hungry. Fortunately Josh's fren Foo Seng had some bananas......good source of energy.

The Race
Soon it was time to start off from Dataran Merdeka. Agghhh...too many people infront, just had to let the crowd run first and started a steady (old man talk) pace. Strangely stamina was not an issue (probably becos of the slow pace) but the tightness/pain around the left ankle and ahhemmm...the bladder gave some issues. Well, mind over matters....there will always be something that will not be right with the body when you run these races.

First milestone after Dataran Merdeka....Pudu Jail. Sweats, pain,burning heart, pumping lungs, a full bladder & NO finishing line in sight....but I must go on....loh behold I reached the Lot 10 junction. Still a long way to go....shall I stop or go on?!! I must continue (my surname is Hum, you know.....) and finally around Sheraton Hotel, Jalan Sultan Ismail (maybe with another 3 or only 2 km to finishing line) I had to walk to ease the pain. Walked briskly for 200 metres and started running again....strangely the pain went away. Smooth running after that and soon it was the turn to Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman....and loh....from far I see the tallest flagpole in the world (the most beautiful sight). I preservered and continued running, finished the race and survived.

The Reward

The reward.....nasi lemak with curry chicken and plenty of sambal with a hot cup of teh tarik with Josh and his frenz.

Josh, Yih Hon (Josh's best fren) & me after the race and before the
glorious nasi lemak!!
