Good times for TriKidz. Kita makin dapat banyak sponsors. Dengan itu kita boleh buat banyak lagik race. Satu race CONFIRM on 29-30 November. Borang tengah bikin so tunggu ye.

Dah tuh lak ada lagik satu race tentatively around August which is under a different sponsor.

Our committee is very excited with our progress. I would say we are a very tight N comprehensive working unit. Each ada tugas N masing2 buat tugas masing2 which makes things easier. So walaupon kitaorang nih baru lagik dalam bidang nih dan technically kitaorang zero, tapi sebab teamwork kuat maka apa2pon boleh diselesaikan. Ekceli I'm proud of this committee.

Idea kitaorang melimpah2 ... tapi selama nih tergendala sebab takdak backing. Tapi skang since ada sponsor yg begitu pemurah hati ... skies the limit. Now is just a matter of nak plan betul2 N terus implement.

..... provided of coz takde unsur politic busuk yg mungkin block our way. Harap takdelah kan sebab niat kami murni dan ikhlas. Kitaorang bukan money making organization. Aku tak dapat satu sen pon ... lagik duit aku keluar adalah. Duit yg dapat pon disalurkan balik kepada the kids. Pembentangan account kami akan dibuat dalam website kami setiap akhir tahun. Aku pentingkan transparensi.

Prinsip aku senang : kalau ada idea, terus buat!! Takpayah tunggu orang dah.

TriKidz masih memerlukan sumbangan sponsor dalam apa2 bentuk jua pon. Jadik kalau ada mana2 pihak yg berminat nak menolong boleh contact saya azwar.tri@gmail.com

Thanks to Tarzan ... dapat aku hantar Anne Hariz pegi belajar swimming kat JB. Si Tarzan sendirik tolong ajarkan. Dapat FOC. Dengan keadaan sengkek aku nih ... memang I owe you one bro.

Class Tarzan besar. Seronok nengok parents datang hantar anak2 belajar swimming lepas tuh dok picnic tepi pool. Tarzan has really something going here. Syabas to him.

Sonok balik JB coz its not that big a city N budak2 triathlon JB senang nak jumpa. Just lepak kat pool Larkin tuh N mesti jumpa someone. Feels like Larkin pool is the JB tri HQ. EVen the notice board is full wit Chan's triathlon race forms. Good to see petang2 derang swim together suka2. Ada tuh dok lari2 warmup keliling pool. Atmosphere dia mmg inviting kalau nak train. BUdak2 pon kepala ok. Tarak sombong poyo ponya. Kalau kat KL tuh banyak yg poyo, nak aku pelempang je.

Today (Sunday) Tarzan N the boys pegi kayoh ker Kota Tinggi. Is just about 100KM back N forth. Aku tak bawak beskal so melopong jelah depan PC.

Triathlon in JB is very much alive. Dengar citer Tarzan bawak ramai budak JB pegi IM Langkawi tahun depan. Meriah IM kali ni beb.

Balik JB hantar budak2 kat kampung.

Taktaulah berapa lama. Aku mmg tak suka nak berpisah ngan 3 ekor nih walaupon satu hari. Derang lah segala2nya.

Tapi nak buat camner ... keadaan dah meruncing. Orang gaji dah habis contract. Aku tak mampu nak dapatkan yg baru.

Lagik buat aku sebak ... Anne Hariz tak dapat ku hantar pi sekolah tadika derang sbb tak mampu dah. Padahal aku tau Anne suka pegi sekolah tuh jumpa kawan2 dia. AKu tau ANne suka belajar. AKu tau Anne suka baca buku.

Aku dok tarik2 rambut aku memikirkan aku nih begitau failure sebagai bapak.

Dah seminggu tak jumpa derang N banyak perubahan dah. Hakeem dah besar bukan baby dah. Dulu selalunyer Anne ngan Hariz ke hulu hilir sebagai team. DUlu Hakeem dok terbaring ja. Skang dah tambah Hakeem yg ligat berjalan. So skang ke mana2 dah bertiga.

Hariz tiba2 dah banyak bercakap. Dia dah macam kuar dari shell pemalu dia. I dunno why aku rasa aku paling suka Hariz. Aku mmg ada polisi takmau ada feveret tapi perasaan tuh ada gak.

Hariz paling susah nak tido sebab dia suka nyanyi dulu. Dia suka berangan. Orang lain sumer dah tido N dia masih celik lagik dok nyanyi lagi ntah hapa2. Ada skalik tuh dia buat lagu something like this "Ayam is ciken ... ciken is ayam". Aku dok tergelak2 sorang2 dalam gelap.

Perut Anne macam ada baby kat dalam - which is wat I tell her everytime. Begitu buncit. Dia masih berpemikiran princess dan segala2nyer mesti pink. Bertambah lak dia ada cousin pompuan kat JB nih yg sekepala princess ... habis. Anne dah nampak abit independant skang. She even told me "Biler baba mama nak balik KL tinggalkan Anne nih?". Amboi.

Aku down lah. Doesnt matter that I'm fat now. Doesnt matter that I'm not fast. Banyak benda dalam kepala serabut aku nih. Tak menolong langsung yg anak2 aku terpaksa aku taruk kat JB. Hati aku remuk.

At times aku terasa cam nak dok kat ulu mana2 jauh dari sumeorang. Which is why now I only understand why some friends suddenly go 'missing' for no reason (well reason tuh is their own lah kan)

.... N start training properly.

Climbing with 7 kilos of extra fat is macam PUNDEEEKKK!!!

Nasib baik habis.

I got 9th in my cat. Received a cool rm200 for my effort.

... this despite having zero training, turning up wit a buncit tummy N maximum bulu serabai-ness.

I thank those who pointed out how undesirable I am. Nowadays I can laugh about it coz I know I can whip myself into shape whenever I want.

... thank God I still fit my trisuit :P

Took Simon's advice to just go race first, carik ilham, tangkap feel ... then only train later. Kalau tunggu nak fit dulu baru nak race sampai biler beb?? Well the advice works ... now got abit of semangat to train knowing that not all is lost.

Anyhow I would like to acknowledge the ppl who helped me in the race especially the bike leg. My lack of mileage showed horribly N I was just surviving on friends pulling me home. Sorry I did ZERO work ... totally unfit to the core :

1) Sam Pritchard - lost him on the hills.
2) Salman UPNM - he took off with Sam
3) JC Singapore - I was oredi slowing down the last 20K when he came along.
4) Emma - She was like an angel sent from heaven for the last 10K. She actually pulled 5 guys (including me) near the end with no one wanting to work at all. I owe you one Emma.

I now have to cut down on the ice-cream, the chocolates N the kari. OH NOOOOO!!!

Badan ada berat sikit lah.

Well we exchanged the cards okay ... mana boleh aku beat AhWong.

Check the amount of salt on my back N shorts ...

Aku mmg kuat berpeluh ...

I just resigned.

I gave the boss a shock.

As expected, he tried to sweettalk me into staying ... with of course a counter offer.

Hati wa dah tawar. 3 hari resignation letter aku ulang alik between me N boss. Dia takmo terima surat soh aku pikir balik ... then aku kasik balik kat dia. 3 kali ulang.

In the end dia terima gak lepas aku dah cakap nothing is gonna make me stay here.

Boss muka sedih beb. Aku lak jadik serba salah kesian.

Spy kitaorang kat tingkat atas cakap boss aku dok pusing2 macam orang tak betul.

After 8 years kena henjut, kena herdik, kena maki. After 8 years the best of my work dia yg dapat nama, kalau yg buruk nama aku jugak yg dilambung2 sebagai scapegoat. After 8 years ... who gets the last laugh?

Buat lar DNA test dulu kat budak Saiful tuh. Betul ker DSAI buat ... ataupon dia jolok pakai penyapu ja?

Kitaorang sumer nengok CSI tiap2 minggu lar kat Astro. Ko ingat orang mesia bodoh ke?

Here we go again folks ...

Suddenly I notice I have to give this duathlon clinic to university students this Wednesday. Brought to you by PowerBar of course.

HOwever I'm thinking, currently I'm in no shape to tell others wat to do N not wat to do as I myself am in terrible shape. I hope the students will be nice.

All of a sudden nowadays I'm finding myself TEACHING triathlon instead of doing triathlon. Hari tuh kat TriKidz pon sama. Hmmm.

Life is rather harsh for me at the moment. Triathlon would be a luxury for me right now. Infact even blogging is.
