Sprint! Run! Jog! Walk.. Stroll…. Crawl………..

With the tension and stress that on my shoulders, I forced myself to get up from the bed on SATURDAY morning. Hey! It’s my off day! I was supposed to Singapore and spend some quality time with my family! They are anticipating me to go back there for few weeks already! Watching movies together, have food fiesta etc. Who stole all my precious time away from me? But inside me was full of motivation, and most part of it saying, go do some shit girl, you have to finish the shitty report girl! Go now!

I was trying hard to think how to ask for permission from my foster brother or the person that I thought was not in a good term with me. Once I reach office, thank goodness that it’s opened. Somebody was having some seminar. My heart was pumping fast when saw him came out from the room answering the phone call. I was glad that finally he talked like normal to me. Somehow the guilt inside me for not working in his department slowly faded away, I was just too sensitive all the while.

Ok the first thing first, outline the report structures and contents, analyze the information, gather relevant information, categorize and type in the report. What to do when have some doubts on unclear info? Great! Go find from the unorganized files and folders, being alone working in the office and cracking my head over the files was not a fun thing to do! Hungry – eat some buns! You have to work twice faster to go back earlier! The next day is the marathon run remember? And have to be in the airport at 3.45am?? Oh no, the stress was running high in my mind. Faster, faster, the big clock right in front of me ticking very rapidly! The excitement was great when I finally finished my work. But another worry came, it’s 12 midnight. I had only 3 hours to sleep and participating in 5km run??

Hahaha…. With the dizziness in me and the sleepiness, I reached airport and put on the participants’ shirt and number “L9997” – L stands for Leisure! It’s an ultimate torture for me. How I wish I can curl myself up in the blanket and enjoy my sleep on SUNDAY MORNING!! The dizziness in me was making me feel miserable. Registration before 5.30am and we were so far from the registration area, I believe we walked for 1 km then had our nasi lemak breakfast sitting on the floor at petrol station. After more than one hour later, we started our “CHALLENGE” for running theoretically 5km but practically 7km Second Link Bridge run! We had the honour of MB officiated the leisure run category. I started with the normal pace and the stamina was so lousy that I could maintain for only 400M. Thank goodness that I have Fazrul’s accompaniment throughout the whole run or I should call it “walk”. Dill sprinted till further front already, it’s amazing because she claimed that she was having muscle cramp on her calf.

After anout one and a half hour walking, finally we were almost reached the finishing line. Mr. Poyos said “ Jom Jen, let’s run to the finishing line!” when it’s about 100M away from the end point. I was thinking action betul mamat ni!
“You first or I first?”
“You first la. I can’t run that fast. Very tired already”
In the end, he took the certificate before me. So what? :-P

We lined up for our goodies bags, took our company’s plastic fan from my foster brother at our booth near the VIP stage. And the next destination was our booth selling souvenirs. My tired but excitement mood changed after I reached there. Inside me telling me that I have to leave the place as soon as possible, but then I was still acting cool and calm. Mr. Poyos was kind enough to send me and Dill back to airport after he finished waiting for his “imaginary” luck for the lucky draw grand prize – Motorbike.

Whatelse but not taking bath and sleeping after reached home? Yes, I slept for 6 hours! The story of the next day, Miss Jen was tortured like hell by herself to work in the office and move around with the aching muscles! Didn’t he hear what I said early in the morning when he reached office? I SAID “SHAH, TODAY DO NOT ASK ME TO DO ANY WORK REQUIRED WALKING” I guess he was deaf or turn his antenna off when I was mentioned the main point “NOT”.
