Perfect

After a few months of survey, ive found my best and suitable bike frame..it is 2010 Eddy Merckx EMX-5 Team Edition..since i'm 5'8" then my frame size should be 50-51..ive logged my body measurement in Fit Calculator built by www.competitivecyclist.com..ive been given the suitable frame size and other essential bike measurement in choosing the best geometry..a big thanx to BikePro for having this desirable frame with my preferred colour..and thanx to Ipin for giving the chance for me to own a bike..since i already had the Dura Ace groupset, i just need to buy stem and handlebar..the frame comes with its seatpost and fork..nice combination from Eddy Merckx..will start to send the groupset next week to BikePro to build the bike..

perfect colour combination and design..full carbon frame

OCBC Cycle Malaysia 2011

Last Sunday morning (16/10/11), we, Macam Pro Team participated team of four category of 52km Challenge event which started and finished in Dataran Merdeka..it was a 5 laps of 10.5km route race consisting of short climb through Bukit Tunku, and descending down to PWTC and Chow Kit before entering Jalan Sultan Ismail and passing KLCC..all the cityscape being covered up and ended at Dataran Merdeka..but some of the cyclists could not complete the 5 laps due to heavy traffic and the police could not hold the flow anymore..the organizer has been advised to closed the Challenge race immediately as to clear up the traffic chaos and to avoid any unexpected incident between cyclists and other traffic users..everybody was given a cute gold finisher medal..overall, the event was superbly done by the organizer and the crowd were awesome..im sorry to those could not complete the distance and hopefully the organizer will take this into account..looking forward for next year edition with great route and crowd..thanx God there was no major accident during the race which represented the awareness of cyclists participating in big race..cheers!!

Hunt Continues

Looking for a new wheelset..i think this is The One.......HOT!!

Dura Ace WH-7900-C50-CL

Mission Accomplished!!

As i told before, im looking for a new groupset and ive found a person that offer a good price for new 7900 Dura Ace complete set somewhere in Penang..his name is Lee and we decided to meet at Mc Donald's Greenlane to close the deal..after inspection and discussion, i was agreed with the price and paid for them by cash..the set is in perfect condition..cant wait to mount them on my new frame which i have not bought yet..haha silly me..never mind, great item comes with patience and passion..Thanx Lee for the worth bargain!!

the biggest catch

Very Bad Invasion

I have never know that there is a biggest and craziest book sale in Malaysia..the news were largely spread throughout Facebook and my sister is one of the fan who waited eagerly till the day come..the book sale is held from 7th to 16th October 2011 at MAEPS, Serdang..we headed there on the very first day just to be among the earliest book lovers to grab the most wanted books..since some of the books were very limited, first come first serve concept was applied by the organizer..no book reservation in permitted..the books sold were insanely cheap and out of our mind..it did not make sense that a book with retail price RM100++ being sold at RM15..that was insane!!

i grabbed my favourite books and some of them is very rare to be seen in any bookstore out there so i considered myself as super lucky..most of my favourite books are true story based narration and about the mountain expeditions..i found them very interesting in knowing the survival and the experiences..at the same time hope i can finish all the book ive bought and will built my own mini library in near future..wish me luck =) thanx to the Big Bad Wolf Sale organizer for making this kind of fair which for me encouraging people to own books in low budget since we know books are sold in quite expensive prices..so what are you waiting for?go get em guys!!

Total: RM250++ (does it make sense with this kind of books??)pffftt..

Groupset Hunting

Recently i was having a deep thought about buying a new groupset for my bike..fortunately, i've found a person that can fulfill my dream and we had a good conversation about the set..since he's offering a new one with good price then i decided to set a meeting somewhere in Penang..huhu cant wait to see every single new piece which later could be mine..its a 2011 Dura Ace 7900 groupset!! He offered me with 53/39 standard crank and 12/25 cassette..this kind of set will perform better on flat route than compact crank..i have studied about the performance and durability since i will be using it for a long period..the finding was encouraging..for the time being im using Ipin's 7800 set and never disappoint me..this would be my long term project to built a bike with good and quality accessories..let's pray for me..hehehehe i'll update about them soon..Penang, here i come...!!

Good to be Back Again...

its good to be back in office again..almost two weeks being away conducting training at Melaka and Port Dickson..miss the working environment and my personal chair..hmm can fall asleep any time whenever sitting on it..have your own sweet time working on your task and meet the deadline..

Who is The King?

Yeah, Adidas King of the Road (KOTR) 2011 finally arrived at Malaysia..this popular event is held annually at 5 different ASEAN countries including Singapore, Philiphines, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia..All the homegrown winners from these 4 events will be chosen and compete in the grand finale KOTR Philipines.. 

For me, this is another most awaited running event because this event has a very limited participation..only the first 7700 registered runners will be on the road for 16.8km and 10km categories..im participating in 16.8km and worried whether i can finish it or not since my muscle did not recovery yet from the grueling Desaru Tri..flagged off at 6.45am on breezy Sunday morning, me n Aizat (Nyamok) started late because need a proper warm up..we started almost 6 minutes after gun time and try to chase the crowd..the route chosen has good alleviation, up and down the road along NPE..good distance tagging and water stations at every 2/3 km..

i completed the run at 1:51:00 and still waiting for official time because our late start..im satisfied with my performance and looking forward to improve the time for next year edition..Last but not least, the medal is awesome!!
