One of greatest Certified Guitar Player. He could play with 10 fingers. He calls it 'finger style' – is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that – and more – on one guitar. Luckily I could listen to him playing during Penang Jazz Festival two years ago - Gila!

Kaki getting better. Able to do 4 jog/training in a week - This is 2nd week.

Sabah Adventure Challenge 2013



Date: 29 ~ 31 March 2013 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday)
Category: 150km Adventure (running and cycling) and 80km ultra runners
Website: www.sabahadventurechallenge.com/sac

Whoo.. SAC is back. This time, ultra runners category will have some improvement. More distance, more days of running, same registration fee and same lodging - Mesilau Resort (..memang hangit habis)

I think those who took part on previous event, surely will recommend this as the best Malaysia ultra event. My RACUN 2012.

Dear competitors,

We are proud to announce the launch of registrations for Sabah Adventure Challenge 2013, the oldest established multi day adventure race in South East Asia for the 14th year as well as for the ultra trail marathon on the 29th-31st March 2013. The event will see a return to the very popular Mesilau Resort as well as an increase in the distance to be covered by the ultra trail marathon runners to 80k and over three days instead of the old 60k and 2 days only. This is down to requests for runners to finish together with the adventure racers as well as a prize giving ceremony together on the Sunday, 31st March 2012 and we have agreed to your requests.

There is no real change to the concept or entry fee package. Your accomodations are included from the 28th March-31st March for all ultra runners and adventure racers at Mesilau Resort and then again in Kota Kinabalu at Hotel Mega D'Aru from the 31st March-1st April 2012.

The big change as you will note is the new entry fees for the 2013 event.

We have managed to REDUCE the costs associated with the adventure race down to USD$1000 for a duo instead of the old price of USD$1500 and have managed to maintain the entry fees for the ultra as we have done so for the last 3 years despite increased fuel, logistics and transfer costs so its good value I think in general give pretty much everything is covered for a 4 day period in Sabah.

Registrations are limited due to the number of limited accomodations available at Mesilau to:

25 adventure racing teams
100 ultra runners

Registration for SAC 2013 opens at 12:00pm, 4th July 2012 and will close once each category is filled.

Accomodations are on a first come first basis in the dormitories and chalets and you may request to room with friends who are competing in the event.

Please note the departure time from Kota Kinabalu to Mesilau on the Thursday,30th March 2013 is at 2:00pm from Hotel Mega D'Aru to Mesilau Resort. Registration opens from 12:00pm-1:30pm at Mega D'Aru so please do ensure you are able to meet the departure time to board the shuttle buses to take you on the 2 hour journey to Mesilau.

Thank you and have a great year ahead in racing and adventures, where ever it may be.

Report: Ekspedisi Menawan Gunung Kinabalu

 

Ekspedisi Menawan Gunung Kinabalu disahut oleh empat rakan sekerja iaitu En.Razak Ariffin dari Spare Part, En.Badrol dari pusat service Shah Alam, En.Syed Annuar, Hasreezal dan saya dari Jabatan IT. Membelanjakan hampir keseluruhan kos pada 4 bulan awal untuk tempahan penuh bagi pakej mendaki dan tiket penerbangan - satu risiko dan komitmen yang tinggi perlu beri bila bergerak secara berpasukan.

Mendaki Gunung Kinabalu bukan bertujuan menguji kekuatan fizikal semata-mata tetapi lebih kepada kekuatan mental. Bagi mereka telah mendaki selama 10jam pada hari pertama, saya rasa kekuatan fizikal cuma bertahan beberapa jam sahaja. Jika Laban Rata memerlukan 2jam lagi, saya rasa mereka akan tetap mendaki walaupun mengambil hingga 12jam. – Sebab matlamatnya, adalah puncak kinabalu.

Kisah sebelum sampai ke puncak (Low’s Peak – Low adalah nama orang - Hugh Low), sebenarnya saya telah pun menyerah kalah pada 100meter terakhir sebelum Low’s Peak. Hujan di awal pagi. Keadaan cuaca cukup sejuk. 3 helai pakaian, masih mengigil hingga ke tulang dibuatnya. Angin bertiup kuat. Tangan kebas disebabkan sarung tangan yang basah dan terlalu sejuk. Badrol juga sama seperti saya, hampir mahu patah balik.

Tapi dalam beg saya terdapat banner manakala kamera di dalam beg Badrol. Kami tiada pilihan. Sebaik matahari terbit, saya nampak Razak melambai dari Low’s Peak... - Itulah kekuatan kami

Bagi PakSyed dan Hasreezal, mereka amat kental. Tetap meneruskan pendakian walaupun kaki dan peha mengalami kekejangan otot sejak pertengahan perjalanan pada hari pertama. Perlahan-lahan berjalan, dikelilingi hutan tebal, gelap gelita, berpandukan cahaya lampu kepala dan harapan untuk tiba di Laban Rata pd ketinggian 3300 meter dari aras laut

Sebenarnya, mereka telah bertemu dengan saingan mereka – diri mereka sendiri. Sehinggakan mereka sendiri terkejut dan tertanya bagaimana boleh sampai sehingga Laban Rata dan Sayat-Sayat ketika menuruni gunung ke Timpohon di siang hari.

Ekspedisi cukup mencabar bagi mereka yang bekerja 8am-5pm. Dengan kekurangan latihan dan persediaan, menikmati keindahan alam di Laban Rata sudah cukup teruja dan menakjubkan.

Hari 1.
Dari PEN@10am sampai BKI@130pm. Sewa kereta untuk 3hr. Aktiviti pertama, cargas ke Pasar Besar KK. Beli udang+sotong untuk dinner. Kemudian singgah di Jambatan Tamparuli. Kagum banyak sangat ikan dalam sungai tu (serius - rupanya local tak makan ikan darat). Ajak geram tak bawa joran. Next, singgah Pekan Nabalu. Nikmati pemandangan lereng gurung. Akhir sekali check-in chalet di Mesilau dan kasi udang+sotong pada chef utk makan malam

Kemudian ke Taman Negara Kinabalu untuk pendaftaran dan berkenalan dengan Guide. En. Bungin. RePack apa yang patut untuk dibawa. Lelain tinggal dalam kereta. Ambik van ke Mesilau. Dan mula mendaki selepas doa selamat dibaca oleh PakSyed.

Hari 3.
Supper@2am. Hujan renyai-renyai diluar. Guide kasi green light utk mula pendakian@2:30am. Gelap gulita. Cuma berpanduankan headlamp. Melepasi stesen terakhir Sayat2, hujan agak lebat, angin kuat bertiup, glove basah, sejuk gedik. Gelap gulita, jalan batu mengikut tali ke puncak. Ajak tiba terlebih dahulu, diikuti saya + Bad di Low's Peak. @7am mula turun ke Laban Rata. 10:30pagi, selepas breakfast mula bergerak turun ke Timpohon. @5pm semua pakat tiba di Taman Negara Kinabalu. Amik sijil+medal dan memberi sumbangan pada Guide. @6:30 bergerak turun ke Kota Kinabalu.

Hari 4.
Lepas subuh. Jog around KK town. Dari Hotel, Pasar Besar Kota Kinabalu (layan tengok aktiviti jualan ikan/sayuran yg murah). Kemudian  Jesselton Road, Padang Merdeka (1 lap) dan balik hotel. Referesh.Sarapan di Jesselton Road. Kebetulan ada Pasar Kraf pada setiap Ahad dari jam 7am - 5pm.

Terdapat banyak cenderamata/ole-ole/barangan tempatan boleh dibeli pada kadar yang lebih murah jika dibandingkan di Pasar Filipina. Check-out hotel. Pi pantai Tanjung Aru + makan tengahari. Kembali ke Pasar Filipina - kawan komplain barang kat PF memang mahal. Luckily dah beli di Jesselton Road. 6pm BKI-KUL, 10pm KUL-PEN dan sampai rumah @1am.


@KK. Pasar Kraf di Jalan Jesselton. Cheaper than Pasar Filipina. Worth spend hours here.
