KLSCM 2026

A very different race. First of all, this is only my third race this year (as the previous race - PJ Half 30km was cancelled due to bad weather- Haze). The previous race being Score Half Marathon in July, which I did poorly- 2 hour 11 mins (Pace 6'12). Due to lack of training, my target for this race is Pace 6'00.

This is my first KL Std Chartered Half Marathon. The previous races are 10km and Full Marathon. The race itself has difficult route, and the Haze is pretty bad too (close to 150 points). As a result, many did not do well. I did alright as I can able to complete the race at my target pace without any drop off. Final time is 2 hour 6 mins+ (Pace 5'53) at over distance of 21.53km. 

This is also the very first race in which I run with a Mobile Phone (thanks to Flipbelt - good pants). 

2026 Perth- Part 3

Day 9- Meeting up with old friends Andy Wong & Kelvin Lee (Ho Kei). A quick tour inside Wesley College is the highlight of the day. 

Day 10- Meeting up with old friend Pangee.

Amazingly, he hasn't changed much, particularly when he share his 'hobby' and 'future plan'. I wonder if I would join one of his future plan. I have to admit, the last 'reunion' in 2010 organised by Pangee is really cool.

Perth 2026 - Part 1

First visit / return to Perth since 2013. 

Day 1- Walk around East Perth, Optus Stadium and Matagarup Bridge (the bridge that looks like Roller Coaster from distance). This is a new building / structure since my last visit. 

Day 2- Perth City Tour. Visit some landmark and places that I have (or have not) been in the past, including Forest Chase, Town Hall, London Court, Kangaroo and Spaceman Statue, St. Mary Cathedral, Old Fire Station, Elizabeth Quay (new), Bell Tower and Perth Mint. 

Day 3- Fremantle visit is rather uneventful. Colourful container bridge, Fish and Chips at the normal restaurant and a quick visit at The Round and Whale Tunnel. In the evening, I brought papa to Crown Casino which both papa and myself won A$100 each.

Day 4- Today's program is a visit to the Waterfront Brand Outlet and King's Park.
