A Fun & Run At Felda Residence Hot Springs

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.

Shah Alam King Of The Road 2009

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

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.
