Another month is coming to an end again.
This months has gone fast again.
April 5, it is the death anniversary for my beloved daddy. Thanks to all his siblings, they are indeed treat us all very well. We are one big family, this is one big treasure that left to us, the younger generations by our grandparents. And yes, one year has passed. Too many things that happened in this period. All I wanted is a good deep rest, which I am looking forward to it to be happening soon. Meanwhile, I am yet to do a deep research, well pretty much to be just having a me-time for refreshing and reflecting myself on what I really want for life.
Joined a half marathon on the Apr 3 for 2xu Compression Run in Singapore, reunited with the marathon kaki a.k.a seniors a.k.a they are all my buddies. Get shocked by the number of people who join the running event, the human traffic along the way. Affect my running result although I feel that my performance was better compared to the last one as this time I had Hui Ying running all the way with me. T.T I will really miss you as my training partner for the past one year until today. 21 km in 3h25min.
Then had a charity run (Donut Run) at UTM on the Apr 16, for 4.2 km in 31 min 27 sec. They gave out donut at each checkpoint - I ate one and feel it is really not a good time to eat while running. So I kept the other two until the end. Manage to run continuously for 3 km but the last km I was just walking until finally I find the finish point.
Working life is all good, sometimes cracking head to find a solution, but that is the function of the brain. What I really like about working here is the chances to know more people: I join a training program from Apr 20 to 23, meet new people from the Asia Pacific region. Well, not really all new to me, so managed to target a few new faces and get to know them in this three-days event. After all, it is a good time to move away from the working stress, which I had been busy for a few weeks and will be busy within this quarter.
And then come back from the training, learnt a new card game (Phase 10) from Debera, bring all the way back from New Zealand and introduce to us. We were all tired after the training, as the night before had some preparation works on for the next day presentation. (I am a slow thinker, so need to work beforehand. ) But still they (Deb and JY) come to my house and we play a few rounds.
Continue with the weekend on Apr 23, planned in a month ago to go to Gunung Lambak, Kluang for the hiking, the only place to-go that I missed out the last trip I went to Kluang. Did not do much survey on the hiking trail as we have a local with us. But the local only went there a few times. Still we need her, lost in no where with the GPS for our car. She shared the location to save us. Reach the recreation park at 745 am in the morning, then we start hiking. Ask one of the local on which route is easier for the hike, uncle run and show us the direction. I tried to talk to the uncle by asking whether he come here weekly. Uncle say no. He come to this place five times a week, as a half retired age.
He shows us the direction then go back. Finally after a 1.5 hours we reach the peak of Gunung Lambak. Another uncle talked to us. He laughed at us as he already go up and down for 3 times when we just go up. And he told us that we come up from the wrong way as there is more preferable to be the going down path. We thought to go the same way down, but then someone suggest us to go the other path down to see a different view. It is a much shorter path, but all the way steep to the half checkpoint. We used the longer but easier path to go up, and taking a short but tougher path to go down. Challenging, but a good experience. The second uncle seems to be a typical old fashion man, who scolded us stupid to use the wrong path, but he actually become our guide to lead us down the way. Imagine he can actually use 29 min to go down, but because of us, he spend 1.5 hours.
I believe he is also the local who really love this nature place and it is what he called as home. He shared with us the knowledge for the hiking places in Malaysia, and he is very proud as Gunung Lambak is consider one of the most challenging path (I believe he is also the person who walk all the route out, which is really a good experience to meet and listen).
Thank you uncle, you make our journey much more smoother although it is all the hard way through.
Missed the Railway Coffee this time, we eat for Botak Curry Mee and also Cendol before heading back to Johor. Then all sleep dead after get a refreshing shower.
Night, had dinner with the gang due to Thong2 is going to be missed in at least one month ++. Accidentally choose a vegan cafe - Image Cooker, there are some still not feeling satisfied so we go for the second round - Raw Pizza Steak Pasta. Had a brain freeze section there as the Plain Yogurt smoothie is too cold.
Then this morning, shift some of my stuff to the new house. Moving out next month. Had lunch with the current housemate, Marian is leaving real soon. Feels like it was just yesterday she inform us that she is going back home.
There goes for my April, the coming week will be busy for work and moving house. Then back home for a short weekend.
Dear May, I know that I cannot escape from busy life but please treat me good. Meanwhile, time for some keep fit and shopping plan to get ready for my sister, JMei's wedding in June.

p/s met Leng Mui a.k.a Wai San, my Genting mei mei in SG,
it has been 6 years ago, she has become da jie jie this time to treat me good food.
Had a short lunch with her and catch up with her.
Then had a charity run (Donut Run) at UTM on the Apr 16, for 4.2 km in 31 min 27 sec. They gave out donut at each checkpoint - I ate one and feel it is really not a good time to eat while running.

There is a donuts buffet at the finishing line,
but no more feeling to eat any of them so I just make my way home with the medal.
I wonder why even training, my group name are linking with "minions".
But I really enjoying within the group.

The pretty batch mates, we are lacking Iznie a.k.a my sayang!
