What a great day last night. After finished the race, I got back to the hotel. Had lunch and the have a short nap. Then say goodby to my friend @bashirabdi204

Then I received a message on Instagram from a Malaysian, Nik who based in Newcastle and they would like to invite me to come over to the race site for Nasi Lemak as they have set up a camp at the field next to it over there there, together with a group of Malaysian (Akmal, Mahat, Shu, Hilmi) and other members.

Took a 2 mile walk from the hotel that I stayed to their camp, and throughout the journey, I got to see the runners still doing their run. Last 2 mile to the finishing line. Gave them some cheer and motivate them to keep going. Jog or brisk walk, don't stop.

Super happy to have Malaysian food - Nasi lemak over there. We have a great time chatting and sharing about the race experience and got to know more about each other.

Later I got invited to one of their house, Abang Jamal, for coffee time and dinner. Got to meet their family members at his home and they are all so kind and thoughtful. Brought up some cakes, snacks, of course coffee ☕.

Warm welcome from them and then we had dinner together (kuey teow ladna, chicken, basmati rice).

We exchanged ideas, thoughts and sharing of our own experiences. I got to learn some new valuable information from them.

Then Abang Jamal fetch me back to the hotel at 10pm. Once I entered the lobby of the hotel, I got to see the Elite Athletes like @kingcheserek

Enjoy the atmosphere so much. Wanna visit the 👑 @kingcheserek definitely after the Empire State Building Run Up and to train with them.

@tenaga_nasional Record Breaking Night supposed to be held on 13th Oct 2020 in conjunction with Hari Sukan Negara. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the event got postponed.

We then decided to do it on 12th January 2021. Then again, MCO 2.0 was being announced to start on 13th January 2021. So we have no choice to postponed it for the second time.

Finally, we had a meeting with Technogym Malaysia on mid March when the conditions were better in Klang Valley and decided to do it on 9th April 2021.

With each time of postponement, I need to train on the machine for at least a month prior to the date of record breaking night.

Stair climbing on the machine is much tougher compared to the actual stairs due to the fact that I need to step on every step of the machine (20.6cm) and there are only 3 available steps, it is very challenging to do double steps when there is a change on the pace.

By stepping on each and every step on the machine, it tax me more and in efficient way of climbing stairs. But looking at the bright side, it is much more challenging and I accept the challenge.

The good thing about the stair climb machine is that you do it at a much control environment. So you can set it up at a cold environment whereby it will help to improve your performance as more blood flow to the working muscles than flowing near to the skin to dissipate the heat.

Throughout the 1 hour journey, it was tough compared to the sport that we do normally as I have to peak 3 times for the 3 records.

I did better for the first two records than what I was targeted. I took the risk to start at a much faster steps per minute as I strongly believe that I will be able to nail it.

When comes to the final record, it was the most challenging one as I need to climb one mile height in an hour, and that's about 500 floors.

The last 10 minutes was super challenging as I started to feel the cramp on both my calves. With the cheers from the crowd and the supports, I managed to progress the pace and push the last 2 minutes to end it!

I am so so glad to accomplished the mission at last after few rounds of postponement and time to move on for next challenge!

King of Fried Rice serves up these delicious plates at a steal. Like their name suggests, they only sell fried rice, which comes in four different flavours — original egg, XO, tom yum, and mala.⁣

Deliciously savoury with bits of egg in every bite, the rice was absolutely worth the wait. Each grain of rice was almost buttery. I also loved the amount of wok hei present in the dish, proving that they are indeed the king of fried rice. While the fried rice was amazing, what really stole the show was the tender pork chop.⁣

They have opened a new outlet at Sengkang so those staying in the northeast will be delighted to know this. However, the last I heard, the waiting time at Sengkang can go up to 2.5 hours!⁣

Iverson's 29 help send Spurs to first loss in 11 games

These Denver Nuggets are starting to show they could much more than the first-round fodder they always are in the playoffs.


Now, if they can just make it that far.

Allen Iverson scored 29 points despite spraining his right ring finger in the first half and the Nuggets ended San Antonio's 11-game winning streak, 109-96, on Friday night.

"It's just because our backs are against the wall," Iverson said after Denver's second big win over a nemesis [Phoenix] in 48 hours. "We understand that every night we have to come in here and play hard and play together and not take any possessions off. We know how serious it is in the West, and if we don't get our act together it's going to be a chance we're not going to be in the playoffs.

"And with our roster ... there's no way we shouldn't be in the playoffs."

Can you imagine? With two All-Star starters in Iverson and Carmelo Anthony and the reigning defensive player of the year in Marcus Camby?

The Nuggets sure can't fathom it.

They're off to their best start in 20 years, but even at 37-24, they're on the fringe of the wild Western Conference playoff picture, remaining one game behind Golden State for the eighth spot heading into the final six weeks.

X-rays were negative on Iverson's finger. He was injured when Tony Parker jammed the ball back into his right hand in the first half. Iverson said it was sore and he knew it would bother him Saturday night but doubted it would keep him out of the Nuggets' game against Northwest Division-leading Utah.

Anthony also is listed as probable against the Jazz after bruising his left knee.

He overcame a bad first half (1-for-7 from the floor) to finish with 25 points as the Nuggets won for the 13th time in their last 15 games at the Pepsi Center, which was rocking like it hadn't since Denver faced San Antonio in the playoffs last season.

In overcoming an eight-point halftime deficit with a dominating second half, the Nuggets swept the Spurs at home for the first time since 1988-89. Last month, they beat the Spurs 80-77. This one was more of Denver's preferred style, with lots of running and gunning -- and everybody got into the act.

Eduardo Najera tied his career high with 19 points and fellow reserve J.R. Smith added 15 to spark Denver's second-half surge. Smith's 3-pointer from the top of the key after Najera tipped a rebound to him made it 96-81 with 6 minutes left.

"That might be the best game I've seen Eddie play," said Nuggets coach George Karl, who had plenty of things to smile and brag about on this night.

"The third quarter, the defense was great and never really slacked off," Karl said. "Maybe a couple of times in the fourth quarter when we had a lead and let them have some easy baskets, but a hell of a win."

Manu Ginobili scored 24 points and Tim Duncan added 23 for the Spurs, who fell to 9-4 in the second game of back-to-backs despite arriving in the Mile High City well-rested.

None of them played more than 28 minutes in coasting to a win over Indiana in San Antonio on Thursday night, and coach Gregg Popovich also had a chance to rest his vocal cords -- he was ejected in the second quarter for arguing a no-call against Pacers forward Mike Dunleavy.

San Antonio fell a half game behind the Lakers for the top spot in the West.

"We're not at the same level we were at last year at this time, even though we seem to be situated relatively well in the West," Popovich said. "This team isn't as good as last year's team. We have significant improvement that we have to make both mentally and physically if we're going to be able to contend for the championship."

Game notes
G Chucky Atkins returned to action for Denver after missing 26 games following sports hernia surgery. He didn't score any points in 7 1/2 minutes, missing his only field goal attempt. ... F Nene, who is recovering from testicular cancer and recently underwent chemotherapy, was on the bench in a suit for the first time since undergoing surgery on Jan. 14.
