salute...

acknowledge a Lt General is a cadet's duty.
because of this... i wear battle order today...
yesterday i was punished by Captain Meor, Dato's ADC... i learned a lot from him anyway=) so the whole 1 hour worth it. the officer's quality in him is up to the standard, and he got the aura when he talk.

Time for trial

how much faster can i go??? with this bike??? compare to my CSK???
time to change???

sepandai2 tupai berkayuh....

sepandai2 tupai berkayuh.. akhirnya jatuh ke tanah jua...
hahaha..
in english= clever clever a squirrel jump, finally it will fall to the ground.

started trainig at 5.15pm.. my junior Haziq asked me if i wanna go Bukit Besi for biking... then i said i wasn't in the mood to bike (1st warning that i'm gonna fell).
then whole group bike like usual.. 40km/h our favorite speed. the speed limit in this camp is 35km/h. but bikers tend to ignore. 35km/h just don't sore the muscles=p hahaha! talk big huh? what is 35km/h for IM, gonna sore my entire body till my brain fail.
coincidence, i was excited to pull the peloton, i pedalled harder to overtake the guy infront.. i bike 35 above.. was gasping for breath.. i always remember 7up when i breathe heavily.. to maintain our form, we need lots of oxy for the muscles. as the speed go faster.. i saw one Bangla walked across the road as if he is crossing a bridge. i shouted at him few times, but he didn't hear me.. within seconds my face hit his, then i fell on the ground. i fell at the same place i fell last year!
masa macam ni la kita sedar bertapa pentingnya kitta di-sideroll kan di padang tanpa sebab. hahahaha...
i quickly roll to the side with my painful butt facing the sky..
makhluk malang ini tenung je kat jalan tar tu.. mengenang nasib... memang malang tidak berbau stokin busuk! my team metes quickly helped me to the grassy area of the road side, i took off my helmet and lie on the ground..
my OC came to me and laughed at me.. ish OC aku ni masa cam ni ar nak wat lawak.

the result.. my rear derailleur scratched, and helmet cracked a bit..
and my IRON body sudah calar balar.. that Bangla dunno what happen.. he came to me saying sorry but i just ignore him..
otak macam lembu, lintas jalan tak tengok!
every evening if i was the one who pull the peloton, i'll shout at those people who simply cross the road.. some even kena "BODOH" especially those RMC boys.

how to solve this problem? may be next time bring the Ice Cream bell to go training.

WORKSHOP CASTING

today i went UPM together with my classmates and lecturer Mr Saiddi to experience the process of metal casting. today's trip was wonderful and all of us had a great time there=)
mold is made in box.. bottom part is the drag while the top is the cope.
sand cores with shape the molten metal..
before combining both the drag and cope, make sure the riser and sprue is in good condition. next use a metal rod to pierce holes till the all around the sand pattern.
then spray CO2 gas to the holes. the reaction between CO2 and water in silicate soda forms carbonic acid. and the sand will harden..
combine both drag and cope, put a little glue in between. then pour the molten metal into the sprue till it appear in the riser. definitely the room between cope and drag will be filled. we must ensure that we pour the metal into the sprue without stopping to prevent it from clogging..
then wait for around 20mins.. yr product is ready=)

a day before the m2m series.. i was awarded as the best athlete of UPNM. went to Kuantan MS Garden hotel for the cermony.. b4 that go tELUK cHEMPEDAK..
teluk chempedak is a nice place, the first time i saw McD and KFC at the beach. very special.. lots of mountain bikers chit chatting at the mamak stall and artist drawing portraits.. we wore smart casual to the beach. overly formal!
hmm at night.. the prize giving was grand, but i don't feel comfortable in the ball.
i know where i stand, and i'm sure lots of athletes are way better than me. i don't like the feeling when i go to a place and i'm nobody. for me to go on stage itz kinda impossible coz they're ALL national athlete! i'm not that good..
may be if i qualified to go Kona, then i can go on stage. Kona is just too far, too expensive, too hard, too not possible, a dream which is sky high and nearly impossible.
even if i qualify Kona, i won't be able to go.. financially i'm too weak, and who am i to be sponsored? UPNM will support? i don't think so. 5 figure of cash amount to go there! so, the only way for me is to excel in other field. forget about going on the stage. myself can't even clock 10 hours, and now talking crap.
now, focus to clock 11 hours FIRST.

a week before m2m, i went for kenyir. those who haven't do the IM will say itz super tough. itz tough, but not super. so the whole week i was resting and sleeping like a big fat pig. i'm not gonna train for m2m, too many things to be done, and not much time for my assignments. instructors who just reported to UPNM day and night hunting for the cadets. everyday surely get scolding from them, especially those new comers instructors. i understand, and i'll just follow. in the military, as long as u're undertraining, u'll be the worst creature on earth and nothing u do is right!

day one u're wrong for not walking in file..
day 2 u're wrong again for low arm swing...
day 3 u talk in the column and made others all got push ups..
day 4 when u already improve all the 3 above, u got battle order for not marching in platoon..
day 5 when u're walking in a platoon, an officer in the car with tinted screen scolded u for not saluting him..
day 6 when yr leg pain, the flat top haircut fella came to your room and shouted at u telling u to go sports.
day 7 u'll be asking yrself why the hell are u in this IRON River (sungai besi) camp for 6 years?????????

thatz what is happening in the military colleges all over the world. juniors will always wrong. and seniors are always right. u serve the seniors, then lead the juniors. thats what SERVE TO LEAD is all about. even in the civilian world, i'm sure there're all this tradition, may be in a different manner. it doesn't really matter, as long as u can survive, u'll make it to the top one day=)


Malam Anugerah MASUM.. UPNM's best athlete.. but i'm nobody there compare to the other athletes from Uni all over malaysia. and in the book written i'm in the athletics. i didn't run on track for years! last time i went Olahraga ATM for both 10k and 5k.. 10k i got gold.. and that was the last time i ran on track.
