2011-09-03T18:27:00.008+08:00

While the month of August is slow without any race with Malaysia preparing for the festive seasons of Eid Al-Fitr, runners focus their attention on overseas races.

Raymond Chong was in Takapuna, New Zealand to participate in North Shore Marathon and completed with a new Personal Best of 4:22.

KK Pacers Marathon Maniac - Chew Thong Hin completed 2 full marathon as follows:
Race to Reduce Marathon in Cebu, Philippines
Songkhla International Glorify Marathon in Songkhla, Thailand

Congrats to all runners!!!
Rain or shine won't stop the maniacs.

Kuala Lumpur Rat Race 2010

2010-08-09T15:28:00.012+08:00

Kota Kemuning Pacers participating in the Kuala Lumpur Rat Race 2010 on Tuesday, 3rd August? Not exactly. It's an annual race for charity organised by The Edge and Bursa Malaysia, a platform for the Malaysian corporate world to come together to help the needy. The minimal contribution to sent a team would have been about RM15,000 and this is definitely out of our league even if we can qualify for entry.

Anyhow we are still so proud to be associated with the event as one of our member, Mr. CG Lim won 'The Best Dressed CEO' category when he represented his company, Top Glove Corporation Bhd for the race.

The rat race covers 4.5km through the commercial heart of Kuala Lumpur, starting and finishing at the grounds of Bursa Malaysia with one of the sub-category race for CEOs at 1km. Participants are to run in their office attire and are allowed to carry other ‘executive’ paraphernalia such as mobile phones, PDAs, briefcases and laptops to vie for the ‘Best Dressed’ award. CG Lim and his team came in a costume that uniquely displayed their company's product ... rubber gloves.

CONGRATULATIONS CG LIM

& CONGRATULATIONS TO TOP GLOVE!!

Seremban Half-Marathon 2010

2010-07-13T12:31:00.015+08:00

It was certainly an enjoyable trip down to Seremban for the half-marathon last Sunday. While some KK Pacers had only departed at 4.30am on race day itself, some other KK Pacers had already enjoyed a night stay in Port Dickson at the Marina Bay Condominium, courtesy of our members, Mr & Mrs Chew Thong Hin. A huge thanks to them for their warm hospitality.

It also turned out to be surprised run for Cheou Wan Kwai who only knew he was running the half-marathon at the eleventh hour. He had actually planned to attempt his first half-marathon at the Penang Bridge International Marathon in November 2010 but since KK Pacers had mistakenly registered him in this run, he bravely proceeded with an astounding time of 1hr 49mins. Besides, this would definitely go down as a memorable first half-marathon since it is attempted right in his hometown of Seremban. CONGRATULATIONS CHEOU!!! Looks like the half-marathon at PBIM will be a breeze now.

It was also a good run for two of our young runners, Nick and Keith who finished their half-marathon at a personal best of 2hrs 05mins and 2hrs 18mins respectively. Tawfiq who was attempting his second half-marathon, managed an improved timing of 2hrs 24mins. Our Sunshine Lady, Cheryl was so delighted to regain her personal best of 1hr 05mins for the10km despite missing the flag-off by 3mins while hubby, Capt Steven zoomed in at 1hr 45mins for the 21km … just a slight 6mins short of his personal best. Doris completed her 10km at 1hr 10mins with a slight miss of 3mins from her personal best too.

Alt. Capt Ray was lucky to receive a lucky draw coupon with his certificate and medal. However, he only managed to draw a pack of 4 Guinness Malta ... which we have absent-mindedly left in the freezer at the Marina Bay Condominium.

After the run, the KK Pacers convoy proceeded to the Seremban wet market (a glutton square too) for the famous Seremban Hakka Mee, Beef Noodle and Cuttlefish Noodle. Subsequently, everyone left Seremban with at least a pack of the famous Seremban Siew Pow.

SCKLIM 2010 ~ So Many Firsts!

2010-06-28T14:27:00.018+08:00

This year there were many firsts for KK Pacers at the marathon of the year, Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur International Marathon 2010.

Cheryl, Keith, Nick, Sean and Vivien participated in the SCKLIM Half-Marathon for the first time while Doris, Jen, Steven and Tawfiq attempted their very first half-marathon. Congratulations to Doris, Jen, Steven and Tawfiq who completed their first 21km in 3hrs 3mins, 2hrs 35mins, 2hrs 38mins and 2hrs 35mins respectively. Just as this lady marathoner said "I CAN DO IT!" and so have you all!! Bravo!!!

Eddie, Joanne, May, Nor Azizan and Sandy also participated for the first time at the marathon of year and finished their respective 10km run in 1hr, 1hr 18mins, 1hr 15mins, 1hr 15mins and 1 hr 26mins. Well done, well done!

Although a number of our KK Pacers had signed up for the full marathon, only a few managed to make it to the event yesterday due to work and personal commitments. There was yet another first as Emily finished her very first full marathon in 6 hours 45mins. What a determined spirit despite that bad stomach and a 15mins' pit-stop at the loo!

Chantelle who rushed back all the way from Singapore just to finished her 5th full marathon completed in 4 hours 17 mins, paced by our Captain Steven. She had aimed to repeat her achievement of sub-4hour in the Gold Coast but nonetheless, it was still a great achievement. Try again Girl! You've done it before and you'll definitely be able to do it again!

To our Captain Steven who is so passionate in helping our members, you had sacrificed your own goal to achieve a personal best of sub-4hr as to honour a promise is so much more important. Thank you!

To all the other participants at the marathon, it's truly a fantastic accomplishment when you finished your respective races. Just as one of the placards said "PAIN IS TEMPORARY!"

To the organisers and all concern, it was an event well planned and coordinated although the race kit collections could do with a little bit more improvement. All in all, it was a successful event. Well done and we look forward to another great run next year!

Larian Bersama BOMBA 2010

2010-05-03T15:44:00.004+08:00

There were new friends who joined us for this run last Sunday morning at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. It was quite a laid-back event which was only flagged off at 7.30am.

Newcomers Joanne, Emily, Nor Azizan and KC Goh successfully completed their run along with our regulars, Captain Steven, Cheryl 'The Sunshine Lady', Mike, Nick, Agnes, Chong, Steven (Oon) and Doris. Joanne, an Australian English teacher based here in Putrajaya, even managed to grab a medal for her inaugural run that morning. It was a most fortunate surprise as she almost did not get to participate when the organisers had insisted for her work permit during registration. All's well that ends well.

CONGRATULATIONS to our Captain Steven, Agnes, Joanne and Emily on their successful positionings within the 100 limited medals put up for grabs in their respective categories.

The photos for the run are now ready for viewing. Enjoy them at our photo album here.

Kota Kemuning Shoestring Run 2010

2010-04-20T16:09:00.005+08:00

It was indeed a beautiful weather for a fun family outing on Sunday, 18 April 2009. It rained cats and dogs earlier in the morning and though the ground was still wet, the cooling cloudy weather was a big welcome.

This year, Kota Kemuning Pacers were invited to volunteer our assistance as crew members at the Kota Kemuning Shoestring Run. To the organisers, thank you for allowing us to lend a hand and to gain some insights into organising such an event.

Many families turned out in full force to either participate in the 3km and 7km run and some came to lend their support. This year had a longer route for the participants above 13 years while for those below ran a shorter route of 3km. We can certainly pick out many budding runners in the making amongst the youngsters and some diapered toddlers who completed the run.

Apart from participating in the run, there were also food like cakes, buns, fried nuggets, nasi lemak and mee goreng being offered. Young children were seen lining for their designer balloons from the clown of the day. The event finally ended with a luckydraw and there were none who left without a big smile on their faces. Catch the event here.

SEE YOU ALL AGAIN AT THE SHOESTRING RUN 2011!

HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY!

2010-04-14T20:59:00.014+08:00

It all began when two friends who ran together regularly, constantly joked about an idea of forming a running group within our neighborhood of Kota Kemuning. Jokes and more jokes later, two runners became three and then four. The jokes became talks and more talks until ...

A clueless bystander who had no passion for running at all, decided to tag along during their races. Almost bored with their endless talks, she started a blog to kick-start their aspiration ... Kota Kemuning Pacers Blogspot.Com!

The rest is history and thanks to the support of all its members, Kota Kemuning Pacers celebrates its 1st Anniversary this month.

Energizer Night Race 2010

2010-03-29T11:23:00.008+08:00

Complaint … complaint … complaint!!!

I think that’s what’s on everyone’s mind from the day they picked up their race kits to the starting line last Saturday. Why not?

1. The running vest was not available according to size! It’s either too big or too small. For some, it’s no more a running vest … it has turned into a 'nightie' for a guy!

2. There was a “Marathoner Roasts” in Cyberjaya at 6.00pm. Starting the race while the sun was blazing hot!

3. Waiting, waiting, waiting … 2 hours between the 42km and 21km and an hour’s wait between the 21km and 10km.

4. Not enough route markers … some runners even ended running extra kilometers!

5. There was just not enough sponging for the runners who started later, especially the half-marathoners!

6. There were dark unattended spots along the running routes … definitely danger in waiting, especially for the women runners. Luckily, nothing untoward had happened!

7. Looks like the full-marathoners had been short-changed! The actual distance was only 40.78km (according to Der Pacemakers Network). With so much publicity put in, the organizers should have ensured that the distance was according to international standard.

8. The location of the finish line was definitely not strategic. It seemed to be the only entry and exit to the race venue. Ambulances, sponsor vehicles, private cars, motorbikes were going in and out all the time. Picture KK Pacers’ Captain, Steven being tailed by 2 Fly-fm cars for almost a kilometers towards the finish line. Imagine some of the runners running straight into these vehicles driving out from the finish line … how dangerous!

9. There were no barricades at the finish line to block out the spectators and the runners who had finished their respective races. Apart from those vehicles, the runners running to the finish had to contend with people taking souvenior shots at the finish line, selfishly oblivious to runners trying to finish their race at the cramped finish line.

10. Goodies bag and medal collection counters were so far away from the finish line … >500 metres!

Despite the complaints, it was a great night for KK Pacers, especially our captains, Steven and Raymond. Steven finished his 42km race at the 7th position within 4 hours 06 minutes while Raymond with an improved personal best at the 28th position within 4 hours 32 minutes. Our lady star, Vivienne finished her very first full-marathon at the 13th position within 5 hours 35 mins. Nik Anba also completed his very first full-marathon at the 73rd position within 5 hours 20 mins.

Our Sunshine Lady, Cheryl also managed to complete her 21km race within improved timing while 2 young runners, Sean and Keith did good respectively on their first try in this category. Two other first timers at the 10km category, Eddy and Sandy also made it to the finish line within good timings while Cheou and Nicholas improved their own timing in the same category.

To all the other KK Pacers; “CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ALL DID GREAT!!!"

Kota Kemuning Pacers, let's roar with the TIGER and set new heights in the coming year.

Putrajaya Night Marathon 2010

2010-02-07T22:28:00.006+08:00

Another night run at Putrajaya. The plus point is that there was no hot sun shining down our butts but on the other hand, it was still hot and humid throughout. Putrajaya was totally dry despite the heavy rain in Kota Kemuning when we left.

As usual, some of our runners did very well, improving their personal best while another new star from our midst ran away with the RM200 prize money. Ms Ho Chik Siew finished her first 21km among the 25 top placings. What a nice early 'angpow' for the Chinese New Year!

CONGRATULATIONS to Ms Ho on her win and may there be many many more to come. A big hand also goes out to Cheou and Victor who became 'phantom runners' at the race. Their running spirits were not dampened despite not being able to register for the race due to the huge response.

There's a bitter sweet news for Kota Kemuning Pacers as our super-heroine, Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl will be heading to Bintulu tomorrow as she joins her hubby on his temporary medical stint there. She'll also be hanging up her running shoes for the next sweet and proud '9 months' ... CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family, Lavin!

For our camerawoman, it was another dampened effort to capture the glory of the runners at a night race. All was not lost though as she managed to grab some video shots.

New Balance Pacesetters 30Km 2010

2010-01-17T14:17:00.004+08:00

Hey folks! The photos for the New Balance Pacesetters 30km run is out.

Our superheroine, Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl attempted her first 30km successfully. Look at her pics, no sweat! Not far behind were our two hot sexy mamas, Vivienne and Cheryl who ran the 20km run with improved timings since their first try of the 21km at the Penang Bridge International Marathon. Looks like Lady Power rising at Kota Kemuning Pacers Club!

Agnes surprised us this time round by participating in the 10km run only at the last minute, accompanied by her friend, Steven (not Captain Steven) and Vivienne's son, Sean. Sadly no photos for the 10km finishers as they ended at a different corner.

It was an unusual day though at the guys' camp when our captain and alternate captain, Steven and Ray were nowhere to be seen at the finish line. They had become 'phanthom-runners' at the 30km run as they had not sign up. Instead they ran the distance in support of our members who had participated as well as part of their training for the upcoming Putrajaya Night Marathon.

For our other male members, you guys as usual are the powers to be ... Bernard, Edmund, Fun, Nick and Riq ... no sweat to complete the 30km judging from the happy faces at the finish line. Even Bernard's Uncle came in with big smile.

Congratulations to all for a great run and well-improved finish. Check out our photo album over at this link.

Happy New Year 2010!!!

2010-01-01T00:00:00.002+08:00

Kota Kemuning Pacers wishes everyone ...

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Malakoff 12km 2009

2009-12-20T11:57:00.014+08:00

An interesting morning ... it was indeed an interesting run today.

This year's run was very well organised without any hiccups or anything in between to complain about. However, the following surprises were surely worth mentioning:-

No run for Captain Steven today! He had to contend to being on the sideline with the cheering crowd due to the pain on his right knee. Possibly an injury sustained during the PBIM last month. We know his feet was itching to run since he had his gear all ready just in case. But alas, it's a risk not worth taking if he does not want to be on the sideline again in the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon.
A race to a marriage proposal ... ha! a special occasion indeed. We were all at awe when a young chap ran across the finish line with a bouquet of roses in his arm. Upon crossing the finish line, he made the beeline for a pretty lass among the spectators, knelt down and you got it! A newly engaged couple! Wonder when's the wedding day? Who knows ... perhaps one of these days, a bride and groom might be running with you to a wedding reception at the finish line. Wow! then all the runners can toast "Yam Seng" to the lucky couple.
During the New Balance KPAC Half-Marathon on 7 June 2009, Captain Steven gave his half-marathon medal to Lavin as a reward promised to her for finshing the 10km race as a phanthom runner.

Today, Lavin so graciously extended her appreciation to our captain with her own medal achieved today. They are truly passionate runners with big hearts.

Everyone who crossed the finish line today went home with a finisher medal. Well done ya all!

Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009

2009-12-15T07:53:00.003+08:00

The annual Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009 completed successfully on 6 December 2009 where 2 members from Kota Kemuning Pacers made their first attempt triumphantly.

Edmund ... The Running Rooster, who started his running hobby in February 2008 had only recently on 28 June 2009 completed the Standard Chartered Kuala Lumpur Marathon well within his target of 4:30 hours. Although he had not met his targeted completion in 4:15 hours for this marathon, his feat that finished at 4:22:22 hours is indeed as glorious. Well done and CONGRATULATIONS Edmund! We certainly share your aspiration to complete the next year's Singapore Marathon at sub-4 hours.

For CG Lim, the Singapore Marathon was his maiden try in a full marathon. Having only started his running hobby in October 2008, Lim's running abilities has certainly developed from strength to strength and culminated in his completion of the 42.195km race in 4:55:55 hours. Only a week upon his return from the race, Lim is already in training for the coming Putrajaya Night Marathon in February 2010. CONGRATULATIONS! You've definitely caught the running bug!

To our 2 members and certainly to all who had crossed the finish line at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2009, you can now proudly say, "I am a finisher!"

A Talk At The Matahari Club, Bukit Rimau

2009-12-13T12:07:00.003+08:00

Yesterday evening, Kota Kemuning Pacers were invited to give a talk about running activities during a 'POTBLESS' organised by the church members from the Assembly of God. It was an unexpected surprise to have been given the recognition to conduct such a talk.

Once again, we would like to thank the organisers of the 'POTBLESS' for extending us the opportunity to 'PLY OUR TRADE'. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded to relay the message to all the attendees on the general idea of "STAYING HEALTHY THROUGH SHARING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY".

As our slogan goes, "Running is real and relatively simple" and it's applicable to everyone. Running is indeed real as each and everyone of us are born with this natural gift. Simple because we are in control ... we are constantly in the driver's seat ... we decide when we choose to just get up and GO!

For all the other members of Kota Kemuning Pacers who could not join us at the 'POTBLESS', here's a little glimpse into the array of home-cooked food and the activities held yesterday.

Larian Rakyat: Another Star Is Born!

2009-12-11T22:10:00.010+08:00

Larian Rakyat was held this morning at I-City, Section 7, Shah Alam in conjunction with the 64th birthday of DYMM Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.

An estimated 1,500 people signed up for the run consisting the 7km, 10km and family-run categories. Proceeds from the run will be donated to the "Tabung Bantuan Bencana Alam" and other charitable organisations.

In today's Larian Rakyat, another star was born! Sandy who decided to participate in the 7km run at the last minute, bagged her very first medal today. She also brought her "lucky star" with her as she won a present at the Lucky Draw. CONGRATULATIONS SANDY! May this be a stepping stone to more medals in the near future.

Another feat was achieved by our super-heroine, "Lavin The Sexy Plaster Girl" who completed the women 10km category in the 5th position. This time she bagged a cash prize of RM100.00 too. Hey Girl, you rock! Run on!

Also not forgetting our Captain's 'ling' ... Cheryl! She too finished well at the 10th position in her category for the 7km run and 'ran away' with one of the limited medals on offer. CONGRATS Cheryl!

Catch all the actions on this link and see if you can find yourself running towards the finish line. CHEERS!

Salomon X-Trail Run 2009

2009-12-08T15:30:00.013+08:00

For the past week, it certainly looks like it is going to be a muddy affair at the Salomon X-Trail Run in Taman Lembah Kiara. Fortunately, came 6 December 2009, we were blessed with a beautiful morning, albeit some slight drizzle by mid-morning. I guess for some it certainly made the trail run all the more exciting. Well, rain or shine, some of our members had come prepared with their "Adidas Kampong".

The inaugural Salomon X-Trail Run 2009 took off almost 20 minutes late, with close to 800 participants taking part in the 10km and 4km runs. The marshalls did not seem to be well briefed as they were even unsure in which direction the run will start. Some participants came back frustrated when they were pointed in the wrong direction inside the trail. One angry participant complained that he was directed onto the same path twice, losing his time and energy. Even the top 3 runners were not spared as they cross the finish line in the wrong direction, catching everyone by surprise!

Even before the race day, most participants had already felt they were short-changed when they collected their T'shirts. They were not issued according to the requested sizes. The smallest was 'M' and being of larger cut, the T'shirts would definitely be oversized, especially for most women participants.

All participants who completed the run will be entitled to the Salomon pouch. With an entrance fee of RM60.00, one would expect to take home a good condition pouch. When one of our member requested for a replacement for his defective pouch, the counter-staff tried to do a on-the-spot repair work! Cheap ... really cheap.

Anyway, amid all the frustrations and grouses, well done to all our members and everyone who completed the run, irrespective they were on the right route, delayed or lost. Let's hope the organisers will be more organised and coordinated next year.

Our photo album is now ready for viewing in Part 1 & Part 2. Click and see if you can find yourself crossing the finish line. Cheerio!!!

Meeza BOLEH!!!

2009-12-07T23:38:00.001+08:00

On Sunday, 22 November 2009, while some of us were at the Penang Bridge International Marathon, one of our members were having fun at the inaugral 'Larian Ceria 1 Malaysia DUKETHON 2009' organised by Konsortium Lebuhraya Utara – Timur Kuala Lumpur (KL) Sdn Bhd (KESTURI).

The 5km run was held at Batu Tol Plaza, DUKE Highway from 8.00 am and was officiated by YB Minister of Works, Dato' Shaziman Abu Mansor. The event was intended to promote the DUKE Highway among the road users. Approximately, 2,000 participants took part drawn by the cash prizes amounted to RM200,000.00.

A big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to our young lady, Meeza who came in at the 35th position at the run. Though our camerawoman could not be there to cover the event and capture her proud moments, here are some of the pics shared by Meeza.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2009

2009-11-26T21:18:00.006+08:00

Months of talking and waiting ... we were finally there at the Penang Bridge International Marathon last Sunday, 22 November 2009.

There were several first timers from Kota Kemuning Pacers Club. First time at 42km, first time at 21km ... they all came in triumphantly! Steven, Raymond and Bernard ran the full marathon and each received their 'Gold Medal' for finishing within the qualifying time.

Vivienne and Cheryl, both attempted their first half-marathon and they've certainly vowed for more. No doubt it was not the first half-marathon for Nicholas, it was his first on the Penang Bridge. All three of them finished within the qualifying time and received their respective medals.

The most amazing participant will definitely be an 82-year-old Uncle right from our neighbourhood. Many of you from Kota Kemuning would recognised him as he can be seen running regularly at the lake. He had ran the 10km in the Standard Chartered KL Marathon and this time round, he attempted the 21km. He may not have finished within the qualifying time but his determination is definitely awe-inspiring. His son, Michael also ran the 21km and completed with a medal in his pocket.

To all the participants above and all who ran in the Penang Bridge International Marathon, CONGRATULATIONS!!! It does not matter which placing you achieved or how long you took ... you are already a WINNER for crossing the starting line.

To Ed and CG Lim who could not make it for the half-marathon due to work commitments, ALL THE BEST to you when you attempt the full marathon at the forthcoming Singapore Marathon on 6 December 2009.

Our photo album is ready and you can catch some of the actions here.

Run4It ~ 12km Run 2009

2009-11-15T18:18:00.002+08:00

Once again, a heartious congratulation to Lavin. She did it again ... 10th placing ... a top ten position!

And to Vivienne, well done! Though one placing short of the top ten positions ... you will defintely make it at the top the next time. Keep it up! To all Kota Kemuning Pacers, another race in the bag. Well done!

However, there'll be a bitter sweet memory for some runners who participated in the race on Sunday, 15th November 2009. Some cars were broken into during the race and unfortunately, some Kota Kemuning Pacers also fell victim to the theft. It was such a shock. Wallets, handphones, car keys, house keys ... gone!

Our appreciation goes out to other members who had volunteered their assistance and moral support during the unexpected situation.

A lesson learnt ... we'll remember never to keep our valuables in the car in the future.

Mizuno Wave Run 2009

2009-10-26T22:55:00.004+08:00

Kota Kemuning Pacers registered 37 members for the run and while some had to opt out at the last minute due to work commitments, injuries and family matters, the rest of the registrants who had been gungho about the run for weeks, turned up in high spirit.

We made it to the new venue at Universiti Putra Malaysia in Serdang in a convoy of 8 cars. 4000 people were reported to have turned up for the run. There were some fresh faces in our group of runners. Though gungho and high spirited, whiff of jitters still permeates the air due to the news of undulating routes, especially when nearing the finish.

A hearty CONGRATULATIONS goes out to all our runners!

Klang Centro Community Run 2009

The first Klang Centro Community Run 2009, aimed to promote healthy pursuits and sporting activities in Klang whilst at the same time foster unity among neighbors, was held this morning at Centro Building, Klang.

Kota Kemuning Pacers was there. Among a yellow sea of participants from all over the Klang Valley, our 19 runners were ready for the challenge with families in-tow to provide their moral support. While the adults were registered in their respective category for the 6km run, 3 of our kids joined the fun run in the school boys and school girls categories. Well done to Victor, Deric, Timothy and Rachel, the future road-racers of Kota Kemuning!

Behold! Another proud moment to be chronicled into the history of Kota Kemuning Pacers Club. Our very own speed-fiend, Lavin came in with the top-10 runners in the 6th placing. It's the second time that she has emerged within the top-10 positions after catching the running bug since May this year. The first was during Adidas KOTR in August.

CONGRATULATIONS LAVIN!!! We are so proud of you and we are confident that all future races in your category has a top placing already carved out for you. Keep it up!

As for the rest of us, what is Klang without Bah Kut Teh. More than 20 of us rewarded ourselves with a sumptious breakfast at the famous Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh at nearby Taman Rasna. Talk about sporting activities, YES! Talk about healthy pursuits ... huh?

After a month's break from competitive runs, we are back in action at the Ekiden Run 2009 last Sunday. Triumphant day too when our all-ladies team "KK Pacers Subarashi" came in the 6th place among 16 teams who participated. Only damper ... we missed the trophy by one placing.

The mixed and all-men teams also did very well. Mixed team "KK Pacers Rush Hour" grabbed the 15th placing from about 150 participating teams, while "KK Pacers V" came in at the 44th placing, out of 93 teams in the all-men category.

A Day Trip To Sungai Klah Hotsprings

As usual, meeting place was at McDonald's Kota Kemuning. Everyone dutifully came on time and with some last minute updates, we started on our journey to the much anticipated Sungai Klah Hotspring Park in Sungkai, Perak.

In a convoy of 4 cars, we headed straight towards Tanjung Malim for our breakfast at Yik Mun Restaurant, especially famous for its 'pau'. Thinking that it might be somewhat ready for business when we arrived at about 8.30 am, we were all in for a damper. They would not be ready for business until 9.30 am. Hungry stomachs and coffee cravings still needed attention, so we had our breakfast at a nearby coffee shop.

We arrived at the Sungai Klah Hotspring Park at about 10.15 am before heading off for some trekking, hoping to find a waterfall for a nice cold dip. Much to our disappointment, there were no signages to guide us along the way. However, we did managed to find our way to the river bank where everyone enjoyed refreshing cold water gushing at their feet. As we made our way further along the trail, we came across an 'orang asli' settlement and a group of students from UPSI undertaking their test in white water rafting. Sure looks dangerous! We continued trekking upstream for another hour looking for the elusive waterfall. Unexpectedly, we were met with a dead-end to our trail. We decided to turn back to the hotspring park as the trail ahead were dangerously rocky and were not suitable for the young ones.

We made our way back the hotspring park by 1.30 pm where we had a little tea-break at the canteen. Then, it was off to the hotspring pools. There was yet another dissappointment for the day ... the cold pool was closed for renovation. We could only get to enjoy the hotspring and therapeutic pools. No doubt they had reduced the entrance fee accordingly, but half the fun was gone without the cold pool , especially for the children. Anyhow, the children still enjoyed themselves at the hot pool while the adults relaxed into sleep mode ... too long dip into pool can caused drowsiness.

We left the hotspring park at 6.30 pm and popped by our favourite 'makcik's' home, hoping to find some durians for dessert. Too bad again. Our favourite 'makcik' had gone for her 'umrah' and was only due back that night. What about the durians? They were still hanging on the trees! NO DURIANS FOR DESSERT FOLKS!!!

We popped in at our regular restaurant in Slim River for dinner. It was a sumptious dinner with their ever popular 'River Tapah Fish in Claypot', 'Terrapin Braised with Herbs', 'Pork-leg Braised with Turnips' and fresh garden veggies. Not satisfied that we had missed the famous Tanjung Malim 'pau' in the morning, everyone was unanimous to have a cuppa and some of those famous 'pau' before heading for home.

We finally called it a day when we left for home by 9.30 pm. Catch our day's fun at our Photo Album or go ahead and click here.

5th Pacemakers Anniversary Run

2009-08-30T23:40:00.008+08:00

Hi everyone, the photos to the PAR5 relay just been posted. It was definitely a fun-filled run with members goofing around after the tension of completing their own leg in the relay. As unsual, our small platoon had their own share of fun too under the watchful eyes of Elijah. We had a pleasant surprise today when Mrs CG Lim joined us for the first time to give her moral support. It indeed motivated Mr. Lim very much because he ran the distance twice when he accompanied Keith from KK Pacers Junior on the last leg. We definitely look forward to seeing more of her at the finish line or perhaps capturing her moment of glory crossing the finish line.

There were 33 teams participating in the competitive category. Our elite team, KK Pacers Uno came in the 8th position for this relay race with KK Pacers Racers in the 18th position, followed by KK Pacers Xtra at the 27th position and KK Pacers Junior in 29th position. KK Pacers X managed at the 32nd position, despite being misguided onto the wrong route by one of the marshalls. Grace ended up running an extra distance uphill and came in fuming in the rain. Thank God it rain cats and dogs. She threw the baton to the ground and gave a piece of her mind to the organiser. However, she was quick to recover her composure and apologise to them. She's definitely one Amazing Lady!

The organiser had also apologised for the miscommunication and had duly agreed to add some lead time to the team's timing. Our appreciation goes out to the organiser.

To all our runners at the relay, CONGRATULATIONS! To the others who had patiently brave the rain to give their moral support, a BIG THANK YOU!! Go ahead, catch our fun here. You can also click here for more selected photos, courtesy of pmTey22 of Der Pacemakers Network.

Trekking Bukit Gasing

2009-08-23T19:04:00.002+08:00

T'was a great workout today. A small group of us went trekking up Bukit Gasing in Petaling Jaya. The group were mainly made up of Mike's clients while our friend, Ves brought along his wife, Geraldine for the hike.

After exiting the trail, some ice-cold watermelons was served for refreshment. Upon parting ways, some us headed straight for the popular Raju's Banana Leaf Rice nearby. T'was a very sumptious brunch!

KK Pacers Potluck Bash

2009-08-16T17:03:00.012+08:00

It was a night of merriment when all Kota Kemuning Pacers turned up for the inaugral Potluck Bash. It was a huge SUCCESS!

Faces we've not seen, names we've only heard but yet to meet. For some, spouses and children were in tow lending their warm support. It was the perfect atmosphere for all as smiles and handshakes were exchanged throughout the evening. New friends were made while there were some renewed contacts.

FOOD! The food galore was definitely the excitement of the day. Everyone had looked forward to the different dishes pledged for the past weeks and WOW!!!

We had a "INTERNATIONAL BUFFET" right by the Kota Kemuning Lake! There were Western delights like sandwiches, muffins and coleslaw, Chinese 'loh mai kai' and 'mui choy', Indian idli and capati with dhall curry, Malay fried meehoon, chicken rendang, curry chicken and roti jala, Italian spaghetti bolognaise and pizzas, Japanese sushi, Mexican empanadas, Thai pandan chicken as well as 'agar-agar', 'konyaku jelly' and lots of fruits for desserts.

The evening could not be complete until everyone joined in a small birthday sing-along for our August babies (Edmund, Elijah, Nathan & Raymond) with a whopper 1.5kg Boston Cheesecake to top the evening's gastronomic affair.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN TO THE AUGUST BABIES!

As for all the members of the Kota Kemuning Pacers who had made it to the bash, thank you all very much for making the evening a huge success. Another round of thanks goes out to your family too. For those who could not make it this time, don't be disappointed ... we can look forward to seeing you at the next get-together! This success only comes to show the strong support we have received from the communities of Kota Kemuning, Bukit Rimau, Kemuning Greenville, Kemuning Utama and Taman Sri Muda. In fact, we are very proud to boast the strong support from our members from as far as Puchong!

A Sudden Bereavement So Felt By The Running Communities

2009-08-03T22:14:00.010+08:00

Forever Young
by Renee 'nay' Kristen Kristen

Trapped in the glorious years
within the memory of belief, lost of all grief.
Take the reasons,
which once seemed so clear,
but never mind, you have nothing to fear.
For you my friend will be, forever young,
Forever in the heart of memories.

Lost in the glory of all time,
the wisdom was there within that smile,
You see you could have told us,
there within lies the mystery.

So shed a smile, and grin a tear,
For you my friend, will be,
Forever young, Forever young.
Forever in the heart of memory,
We see not through or misery.
Forever young, forever young.
There's a new angel tonight.

This poem is a special dedication for Gary Leon Robert who was so suddenly taken away from us yesterday after completing his run at the Shah Alam King Of The Road half-marathon. It's sad that he had been alone when he left us but he will no more be alone for he is now placed among the angels in heaven.

Our deepest condolence to his beloved family and friends. May he find eternal peace in the Kingdom of God.

Shah Alam King Of The Road 2009

2009-08-02T20:18:00.012+08:00

Shah Alam King Of The Road 2009, the much awaited half-marathon is finally here. Everybody was looking forward to an exciting run this morning, what with the anticipated undulating route that's going to be of great challenge to all the runners of Kota Kemuning Pacers, veterans or the noobs.

We had quite a surprise the evening before when Cheryl informed that there'll be a few school-boys from Ipoh who will be joining us at the race. Wow! It's such an honour that one of our neighbours,Sandy had chosen to seek our assistance to lead the out-of-towners. In fact, she also joined the 6km run at the very last minute, albeit using a J category bib (Senior Boys). Today, we also had more noobs for the race, young and old and school kids.

At the run, some did fantastically well while some slacked and others maintain their performances. A very warm congratulations goes out to Lavin for finishing at the 10th position. The latest good news was she had been moved up a notch to the 9th position since the runner in the 3rd position had been disqualified! A pat on the back for Riq too for his efforts in pacing Lavin towards this goal (not forgetting the 20 odd kicks in the butt he claimed Lavin had given him ... hahaha!!!). Anyhow, well done on the teamwork.

Many many congratulations also goes out to Keiko, Shaunie and Marcus for achieving their very first running medal today. As for the noobs like Keith, Jia Mei, Jesslyn and Ai Ling, well done for completing the race in your respective categories.

Beneath all these, however, there was one big regret. CAMERA-FAILURE!!! Man, what a terrible time for the camera to boycott our camerawoman. T'was confirmed as a manufacturer failure for the Nikon D5000 cameras. Guess the camera will be going into intensive care soon. By the way, the camerawoman would like to express her gratitude to our very young Shan (9-years-old only) for keeping watch on her today ... her very own BODYGUARD wor!

Whatever photos that had been taken before the power failure, check it out here.
And to see the achievement of our runners, please click here.

Regretfully, a rather disturbing news was received just about an hour ago. A runner in the Men Open Half-Marathon (22km) category had gone MISSING! No one knows his whereabout. As at this moment, the search is still on and his parents had already filed a missing person report with the police. We pray that he is in good care and that there's a good explanation to the anxieties caused.

Everyone and anyone, if you have any information or knowledge on the whereabout of this runner, please contact the person and mobile as posted in this blog. Any assistance will be well appreciated.

Shape Night Run 2009

2009-07-26T10:08:00.004+08:00

It was indeed a fun night at the Shape Run.

Kota Kemuning Pacers have indeed grown with new faces appearing in recent runs. A thumbs-up to Wilson, Doris, Cheou, May, Grace, Chik Siew and Nik. Family support was also in full force as there were 5 families tagging along for the fun. A great turnout! We have, of course the Captain and the Alt. Captain's family, the Choong family, Fun & son and Nik & son.

We even have a small platoon of soldiers ... small soldiers ... chipping in to help with the collection of goodies bags, hotdogs and not forgetting the freebies while the runners were doing what they do best, RUNNING! A big thank you to Shaunie who led her little platoon on their newfound role and also Elijah who kept a watchful eye over the safety of these young ones amidst the huge crowd.

The night was quite hot with a slight haze. A big appreciation goes out to Fun who caught up with our camerawoman stationed a distance before the finish line, to provide her with some cold refreshment. Thanks alot Fun, from the camerawoman.

Kota Kemuning Pacers will indeed be a team to look out for in all future races ... a group of neighbours bound by strong team spirit, a sense of camaraderies and definitely, a passion for running.

Dear All,

A group of residents living in Kota Kemuning, Bandar Puteri Klang, Putra Heights, Kemuning Utama, Bukit Rimau, Bandar Botanic etc have set up a newsgroup to update those affected by the constant open burning in Johan Setia and Jalan Kebun.

For the last ten years, residents living around JS and JK have been experiencing acrid burning smell and constant respiratory related health issues. Please inform your readers if they have any friends or relatives living in these areas to be a member of the newsgroup to be keep informed of what has been done the past year since the change of state government.

Much progress has been made and and these residents have been working hand in hand with the state representative, YB Elizabeth Wong, to relay frequent updates regarding this matter.

For those interested, please read the past postings to keep abreast of the latest development at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Open-Burning-in-JOHAN-SETIA/
