Kota Kemuning Shoestring Run 2010

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!

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.

A Talk At The Matahari Club, Bukit Rimau

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.

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?

KK Pacers Potluck Bash

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!

KUDOS TO ALL OUR MEMBERS! Click here to check out the memorable evening.

A Fun & Run At Felda Residence Hot Springs

Sorry Cancelled!

This trip has been postponed due to unforseen circumstances. Our apologies.

Kota Kemuning Pacers intends to organised a FAMILY OUTING to FELDA Residence Hot Springs in Sungkai, Perak. Sungkai is a small town in Perak, Malaysia. This small town is located between Bidor and Trolak, just after Slim River. It is accessible via the North-South Expressway's Sungkai Interchange (Exit 128).

The FELDA Residence Hot Springs is strategically located within easy access from the old trunk road, only 16.5km or 20 minutes away from the Toll Exit. On the North-South Expressway, get off at the Sungkai Toll Exit and turn left at the junction. Just 1km down the trunk road, turn left and follow the signs. The park is just after the Sungai Klah FELDA village.

The FAMILY OUTING will be planned for the Hari Raya Puasa weekend break from 19-21 September 2009. It will be a 3 days 2 nights (3D2N) stay at the resort. While it is planned for a fun family escapade with loads of activities at the resort, the highlight of the outing will be a GROUP MORNING RUN along the kampung roads and trails amidst fresh air and the greens of oil palm and fruit trees.

Kota Kemunings Pacers would like to urgently gather favourable response from our members and anyone from our community who are interested to join us on this outing. Before you decide, do check out the resort's facilities and its available activities at this link. The cost of the accommodation for 3D2N is estimated about RM500 per person including entrance fee and breakfast. Transportation will be separately arranged depending on the total response.

Interested parties please contact our KK Pacers Admin office no later than 16 August 2009.

A Sudden Bereavement So Felt By The Running Communities

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.

A Community Message ...

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/

You can also visit MPK (Majlis Perbandaran Klang)'s dedicated site to keep all updated about the daily monitorings done by their Fire department at: http://www.mpklang.gov.my/home, go to pembakaran terbuka in the middle of the man page.

This message was forwarded by Ms. Karen Lee of karenleehs@yahoo.com (Mobile: 017-8810246).

Community support is important for all of us to enjoy a quality life within our neighbourhood. So, let's all lend a hand to chip-in wherever we can. A little effort goes a long way.
