Standard Chartered KL International Marathon - June 2009

A good friend of mine invited me to a marathon run. I have been rather excited to join in since I was real young. Never really got the chance. Today I've decided to join in the fun. I've registered myself to a small part of the marathon. There are 5 categories for registration:

a) Kids Dash
b) Fun Run - 5KM
c) 10 KM (about the same as a high school marathon)
d) Half Marathon - 21.097KM
e) Marathon - 42.195KM

Each of these has got time limit, mind you. Not too sure about my capabilities, I started analyzing the approximate run to qualify..

a) Kids Dash

3KM - 40 Minutes
950meters - 20 Minutes

so in a way, you're expected to run as fast as:
3000/40 ==> 75 meters per minute
950/20 ==> 47.5 meters per minute

b) Fun Run

5KM - 40 Minutes

5000/40 ==> 125 meters per minute

c) 10KM Run

10KM - 1.5 Hours

10000/(1.5*60) ==> 111.111 meters per minute

d) Half Marathon

21.0975KM - 3 Hours

21097.5/(3*60) ==> 117.208333 meters per minute

e) Marathon

42.195KM - 6 Hours

42195/(6*60) ==> 117.208333 meters per minute

So.. I'm assuming you don't get to lay around.. or slow down and all that. Be prepared people! I'm taking a month to train myself.. It's gonna be real exciting! Worth that RM50. More than 10K people wouldn't let you down, right? Cheers!

Yours,
Daniel "LynxLee" Lee

Malaysia's Prom - The Musical

I'm attending this local production, PROM - The Musical next week. It should be rather exciting, wanting to see how the local musical would be like seeing that I've experienced the amazing "Mamma Mia" phenomena last December!

PROM THE MUSICAL

Director : Zachary Wong, Geraldine Philips & Edward Ong
Writer : Geraldine Philips
Musical Director : Sebastian Kor
Choreographer : Lim Chee Wei, Lim Cheng Choo & Liew Yen Shan

[Note: btw, I got this flyer from Facebook. =P]

SYNOPSIS:

The musical revolves around nine college seniors who are about to enter adulthood, having completed their tertiary education. Some are preparing to further their studies, some are battling with decisions and some are discovering that success without love and friendship is not quite as sweet.

In Act 1, Leena is introduced as a new girl on campus. She is a bright law student who aspires to study law at Harvard. Her first love, however, is the performing arts. For her final year as an undergraduate, she applies to Galaxy College so that she can fulfill her electives doing the things she love most - singing and dancing.

Gary, Sheila, Jill, Ming, Jacky, Kim and Liz are the most prominent seniors at Galaxy College and each is trying to carve out a niche for themselves. Gary, the principal character, is a young man who is seeking for some meaning, a motivation of some sort and he finds it in Leena, the new girl with striking good looks and a passionate determination to follow her dreams. He finds her spirit and beauty inspirational. Sheila is the undisputed Queen of Galaxy College. In the three years that she has been there, she has worked hard at achieving everything that she sets her mind to. The driving force behind this persistance to suceed is Sheila's determination to prove to herself and everyone around her that she is a young woman who can have it all.

Act 2 opens with love blossoming between Gary and Leena. But Leena receives the much-awaited letter calling her to attend an interview for the scholarship on the very same day as prom. She makes a choice but Gary tries to change her mind. Does Leena end up with Gary in the end? Who will be crowned Galaxy prom king and queen?

Virgo Man

Hey! Check out what I found from an online email forwarding! A horoscope about me! Okay, some of it are true.. well.. most.. =P

Time is precious for Virgo man and if you make him wait, he will consider that as an insult. He hates to hear criticism and hates to be criticize. If he is criticizing other people, then he must be influenced by other Zodiac. He is and he likes to be a perfectionist. He always think he is doing the right and appropriate thing , and often he thinks he makes no mistake. He is a bright guy and could accept comments if he thinks it can improve himself. He is the type who well adjusted to make changes.

He will spent money carefully and spent it worthwhile. He will only extravagant for his personnel pleasure only. He is quite romantic, a type of guy who can drive 100 miles just to tell you how much he misses you. If he does not care about you, he will not even spent a dime to call you locally. Long distant special low rate call is also out of the question.

He hates rough and crude people. His woman has to be clean and dress well. He inspects any thing in details beside being a perfectionist, so you could be lying in your bikini with a perfect figure and he can suddenly comments you about your big feet. If you gain 2 pounds , he may comments you are getting too fat. Before going out with this kind of guy, look at yourself head to toe in the mirror and ask yourself if you are really and entirely ready. Unless he dates a model, then he will have less comments.

He is neat and tidy, so his life always in a schedule, a fix time to lunch, the same time to go home. He is well knowledge about food and conscious about nutrition, so you won't see this guy eating a junk food, or strange and exotic food for sure.

You will see him in social events or party if only necessary. He is gifted with acting, so if he says he can not go out with you because he is sick, then you will belief him. He is a hard to please when it comes to what to eat, how to work, what kind of a woman to date. He always neat and tidy all the times, even if he is in the army, he will be the cleanest soldier in the camp. He likes to speak properly with no slang. He hates laziness and lazy people. He always act like a boring mature adults, but getting to know him , you will know he has his own charm.

He always see things clearly, so he is not the type to be blinded by love. He is a kind and cool guy, but if constantly irritate with rudeness, ignorant, or stupidity then he will show you that he is annoyed. You may see a guy in this Zodiac dress up in an old shirt and old Jean, but if you look carefully, you will see that his hair is neat and unconsciously he will touch his hair a lot. His desk is always neat and if he sees small scrap paper on the floor, he will pick it up or put it in the basket.

People may think he is selfish, because when he says 'No', he really means it. Any favor asked , he will help but always in his own limit. The more he see faults in others, the less he wants people to see his. If you want him to change his faults, try to tell him gently or he could take it as an insult.

He wants love that comes with quality, so he only has a few loves in his life. Woman's trick will not work with him. If he breaks up with a woman, he will also try to avoid all her friends and her environments too. He is very picky and every breaking up, he will be double careful next time.

He can sweep woman with his charm, but he likes to keep his relationship like a friend. He likes a sincere self confident woman, neat and clean, perfect and tidy. A real two 'P' , picky and perfectionist Zodiac.
