Borneo International Marathon 2012

May 6th, 2012 Posted in Health, Sports | No Comments »

The last time I witnessed the Borneo International Marathon was two years ago. This year the marathon is held on 6th of May. Perhaps next time I will join running the marathon. My post on the 2008 BIM.This year, the organizer have changed the routes a little bit. No longer does it go through the Sutera Harbour resort. I’m sure there’ll be quite a traffic jam in town since the roads in KK aren’t designed for this kind of events. For sure too there’ll be paramedic units stationed at strategic check points with med cart ready for use. Since this event have received some fairly good publicity, it’s expected the public will be there to witness and to cheer the runners.

Sick with cough again

May 6th, 2012 Posted in Health | No Comments »

After I had donated blood the other day, almost immediately I felt sick as I was probably already coming down with a bad case of cough. Perhaps donating blood gave away the antibodies that were already fighting the infection. Two days later I went to see a doctor and was prescribed with antibiotics. The medicines didn’t help much. The cough still persist especially when it’s cold. When sleeping I wished I had one of those heated mattress pad so that the effects of the cold wouldn’t aggravate the mucus from reaching my throat.

Making Travel Plans

May 5th, 2012 Posted in General | No Comments »

Previously I mentioned about our plan to travel this coming school holidays. Since it’s our first time going to where we had planned, it’s quite difficult to really do it on your own. Perhaps going to http://www.orlandovacation.com would make it easier if we were going to Orlando.Getting a travel book or a map doesn’t help much, so going online searching for the current reviews is probably the best thing to do.

Kopi Luwak at City Grocer Suria Sabah

May 4th, 2012 Posted in bizzare | No Comments »

A fellow friend posted a picture of Kopi Luwak which I though he got it locally. Apparently he got it from a friend who went to Indonesia recently. I had wanted to try this coffee for a long time now but it’s not available for sale here. The closest I’ve seen are sold at the City Grocer, Suria Sabah. But it’s not 100% Kopi Luwak as it’s mixed with other ingredients. The price is also cheaper at RM118. Cheaper does not mean it’s a good thing when it comes to kopi luwak cos’ the price for 100g is at least USD 100. So I’m not sure if the one I saw at the City Grocer is the real deal. Perhaps after drinking it, you might get the same side effects as phenteripped. The picture below shows the package sold at the City Grocer. It only contains 9 packets.

Planning for a family trip

May 2nd, 2012 Posted in Family | No Comments »

It’s been a while since my family had gone away for a family trip. However we have never been out of the country yet. But soon we’ll be able to. Yes we are planning to make a short trip to Bangkok towards the end of the month. Planning for it isn’t that easy. Hotels are abundant since Bangkok has been a tourist mecca, so finding one should be like finding hotels in Orlando. The next thing would be the sights and attractions to visit within the short duration of stay. One attraction for sure is the Grand Palace complex as picture above.
