reached home around 4am after the run.. pack up. eat.. then sleep till 630.. woke up and head to gopeng for rafting with my bunch of cycling friends! was on the kayak and had heaps of fun with them and i so miss all the guides in gopeng and the river!! seriously i really really love the river so much so much!

it has been a long long time sincei go on the kayak! been guiding the raft so much the last holiday till i hardly get to go on the kayak.. but yea.. being in the kayak is so much better.. first.. you care only for yourself and there are so many places where you can go on the kayak and no on the raft because the raft is too big and clumsy.. and the best part of being in the kayak is every little wave is so huge compared to raft and it means more fun!

the point is i just so love the river!

after rafting.. makan makan in ipoh..

then went back HOME! yea.. i mean HOME.. a place where it is so carefree.. everything is taken care off.. my little puppies are soooooooo cute! my big doggies still as manja..

as usual.. dad never let me go off so easily.. first thing is.. go pluck coconut! haha..

enjoyed the dad and daughter activity.. though bitten by mosquitoes like crazy.. and my dear big butt licking me like no one's business.. its so good to have big compound where i can run so happily with my dogs.. despite the dog shit.. ehehe.. added challenge only la..

coconut water!! hmmm.. heavenly.. dumped it in the freezer.. set timer.. took it out.. chop like crazy.. not easy you know.. have to use parang.. chop chop chop.. so takut chop off my finger.. then yea.. coconut is best on a hot sunny day! espeacially chilled one!! then finish the water.. chop it into half.. then makan the flesh.. hmmm.. cant be better.. just nice.. not too old.. not too young!!! dad's just simply good at this! he gets the coconut just nice off the tree! luckily he has this long long thing to get the coconut down.. or i think i would love to climb!! haha

thinkng of climbing coconut tree now.. hmmm

wwoohooo... i managed to run all the way up to genting!!! a good 23km!!! my first and very first road non-stop 23km! i started out walking.. but kenot tahan addi la.. kaki gatal.. so ran.. the run to goh tong jaya is actually pretty easy one because there is ample downhill... but the last 10km was all the way up up up up!!! i could still manage to run the slope after gohtong for i think 5km.. then kenot tahan addi.. walked my way up! crazily steep mann!!! some hair pin curve is super steep!!! walk also tired weh..

but running up is definately a good experience! along the way.. there is this place where you could see genting.. like  palace and lights leading up to it! wow! spectacular!!! too bad my DSLR is in the support car! then while running up.. you'll notice tiny little details that you'll never notice when you're in the car! its just a whole different experience.. and i compared it to trekking.. minus the mud plus exhaust! but yea.. really nice to run up genting!! would definately do it again!

i was alone the first 10+km with runners a distance in front and behind me.. well.. pretty dark at some area but still reasonable.. with excort cars doing a really good job!

then after gohtong.. esmund was really kind to excort me personally.. because he say that area is pretty dangerous for gals to be alone.. so yea.. was really nice of him! then after 3 to 4km.. i told him to go ahead.. its really hard to follow me at a slow pace.. i understand.. though runners are no where to be seen.. but i can see them a distance away..

was approx 10m away from the runner in front of me.. i kena kacau by 2 blacks who dont sound of look malaysian.. so i mati mati also pecut up to catch up with this guy.. then i had a safe safe walk with him all the way up! i was really well looked after yea? haha

what surprises me is that the police and genting management is very supportive of our run and the provide police excort! when we reached up there.. genting management provided us with warm drinks! how nice!

oh and did i forget to mention.. we started running at 10pm and reached there around 1am..  the cold wind was crazy nearing the top.. super duper cold!!! but the warm drink up there was really really good!

hmmm
