Malaysia Master Series 2025

This would be my first Badminton Live experience since the 90s and its definitely the first for Hong Yi.

Its the Malaysia Master 2025- Semi final. We watched about 6-7 out of the possible 10 matches, including three Malaysia doubles that won 2 and lost 1. 

There are also some fun & games and free merchandise.

Generali Half Marathon 2025

 I finished the race at 2'03 or pace of 5'50, which is my 5th fastest among my 10 races.  Although I do not achieve a PB, it's better than my pre-race expectations and I feel great during and after the race. My mate YY on the other hand, achieve PB but did not feel good about the race. This keep me wondering what is more important, the feeling or the record?

Photos are plentiful and some are quite pleasant as I wasn't over exert myself at the end of the race.

10th Half Marathon Coming Up

Heading for my 10th Half Marathon Races in two days time. The previous 9 races and my running time are as follow:

Rank 9:    Generali 2024 (Pace: 6'52, Time: 2'24)

Rank 8:    Twin City 2024 (Pace: 6'19, Time: 2'14)

Rank 7:    Twin City 2022 (Pace: 6'13, Time: 2'12)

Rank 6:    Garmin 2022 (Pace: 6'04, Time: 2'10)

Rank 5:    Penang Bridge 2022 (Pace: 5'53, Time: 2'05)

Rank 4:    KL City Day 2023 (Pace: 5'46, Time: 2'02)

Rank 3:    NPE Highway 2023  (Pace: 5'41, Time: 1'59)

Rank 2:    Hatyai 2023 (Pace: 5'40, Time: 2'00)

Rank 1:    Cybercity 2023 (Pace: 5'38, Time: 1'59)


I do not have high expectation amid poor condition lately. However, I do wish I can do better than the two races that I did last year. A time below 2'05, should I able to achieve, would consider a "Gold" achievement. The most important thing about this race is to feel good upon finishing.
