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
@shazrine @bygolly.molly @stewy_mac3 @galenruppofficial @charlottepurdue
And the organizer, Matt.

And so I joined them. We have a great time laughing, talking, chatting. They are really funny and lovely. Super happy to spend time with them. Forgot to take a wefie for this moment! 😭

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

Thanks @great_run for all this wonderful experience.

I am looking forward already to come back to Newcastle for the Great North Run 2022 and this time I will be prepare for it and to hit a much faster timing (perhaps the NR!).

In a normal sports calendar, preparation for Olympics usually took a year or two. That’s when you went through the Olympic qualifiers. That’s when you gained your Olympic points. That’s when you try to break the Olympic qualifying time. As the event got nearer, most likely you would sharpen your skills , toughen your drills and strengthen your mental strength in special programs organized by MSN or your respective sport bodies.

Today marks 30 days before the biggest sports event in the world. I admit this time might be different. A pandemic-torn Olympic. Preparation are hardly like before. But the difference might turn out kind for some , especially the darkhorses. It’s the time for the only the tough to get going.

Coincides with the Olympic Day as well, I would like to send a “war-cry like” to fellow Malaysian Olympians. “Be an eternal Malaysia hero”.
When I beat Lin Dan in my last ever Olympic victory match, nothing beat the proudness and honour. I was dead tired at that time in the semis. I thought I would have lost to Lin Dan again. But I told myself not to let down the 32million prayers back home. Giving me the extra mile to clinch the winning point. How the country celebrated was still fresh in my mind. Imagine the national eruption if my tired body didn’t give way and I could beat Chen Long the day after?

I missed my chance. It’s your turn now, comrades.

Remember. Everytime you wear the national crest and enter the arena, tell yourself that you are not alone. Behind you together marching in with you, are 32 million our people praying for you, cheering for you. Be a Malaysian…..hero.

Sempena Hari Olympik hari ini, saya ingin menyeru agar atlit-atlit negara yang akan beraksi di Tokyo nanti , untuk mempersembahkan aksi terbaik demi lambang di dada. Ingatlah. Olimpik hanya dilangsungkan 4 tahun sekali. Berapa kali seorang atlit mampu beraksi di persada Olimpik dalam karier sukannya? Tidak banyak. Berapa kali saya doa agar diberi peluang kembali ke pentas Olympik, saya redha tidak akan termakbul lagi.

Rakan seperjuangan sekalian, walaupun Chong Wei tidak berjaya , saya yakin salah seorang daripada anda boleh. Ingatlah. Kamu bukan turun ke padang bersendirian, kamu turun bersama 32 juta rakan rakan seperjuangan yang menyorak nama anda. Mendoakan kemenangan anda. Berusahalah, untuk menjadi wira abadi negara. Jangan lupa, #malaysiaboleh

这一幕，你记得吗？ #国际奥林匹克日2021

@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!

#EGGBRAIN #SEVENTEEN #TheNext20MileClouds

[Lyrics]
Just seventeen. No regrets to you
I’m shining anyhow. I’m heading towards there

It’s time for the snows of the mountain to melt
You are leaving. Today’s the day
But I’m playing at the show and the train never waits for the farewell

Next to my shadow I can see yours
Hands you grasped are still warm enough
But soon the spring wind will cool them down. I face the reality

Nothing I can do. I collapse to the ground. I can’t stand to cry
Tomorrow you’ll be someone else.
Is that the way it goes?

I’m just seventeen. No way we are done
No regrets to you. We’re just seventeen
I’m shining anyhow. I’m heading towards there
I’m just seventeen.

Your house is just a stone's throw away
But my last step is always so far away
I‘ve never been able to cross this bridge
The devil always wins

I look up into the sky and shout at the cloud as loud as I can
“When I turn 20 will be back to my arms?”

I’m just seventeen. No way we are done
No regrets to you. We’re just seventeen
I’m shining anyhow. I’m heading towards there

I’m just seventeen. My heart is clear sky
I may forget you. We’re just seventeen
My aspiration for the next 20-mile cloud

Just seventeen. No regrets to you
I’m shining anyhow. I’m heading towards there

I’m just seventeen. My heart is clear sky
I may forget you. We’re just seventeen
My aspiration for the next 20-mile cloud

Our last day at Six-Mile Lakes. A nice meal before we go, and some quiet time by the water. The next day we head back down to Nelson with some classic 60's jams over the co-op radio!

It's pretty impromptu, but this is a song called "Good" that I wrote last month - on behalf of a friend, whose heart became numb because of a friendship-relationship that she had with a guy. Yknow, sort of friends, but sort of more than that. She's one of my best friends, and this song is for her.

I'm hoping you'd be able to tell what happened through the lyrics, and I'm hoping that this song would be relatable to some of you as well. Because this is what I love most about song-writing, it's like story telling, be it of yours or of other people. You share the story with everyone and hoping maybe they'd feel the same :)

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Look at all these wishes that you made came true
Look at all these thoughts I have they're all for you
Look at all these CD's you burnt, you burnt me too
I thought we'd be for long, oh I'm such a fool

Pre-chorus
And I know, I know, I know, you're not sorry
But you know, you know, you know, incase you're wondering

Chorus
My family's good
My friends are good
And everything's good
Well I hope you're good

You know me so well
I know you can tell
Everytime I see you I feel another piece broken
And all of the things I should've said they haunted me for a while
Of all of the things that I regret is going the extra mile

My family's good
My friend's are good
And everything's good
Well I hope you're good
Though I'm not good

Verse 2
Remember when we used to hang out everyday
Days turn to months before you turn away
Remember when I told you about my life
And you just left me there with no goodbye

Pre-chorus
Chorus

Bridge
Oh, I hate you
Oh, I really do
But I still care for you
I still care for you
Do you still care, do you still care
For me too

Chorus

My family's good
My friend's are good
And everything's good
Well I hope you're good
Cos I am good

So yeah that's it! It's quite lengthy I know, but it fits the mood and the whole idea of the song so why not right :)

Hope you guys like it! Thanks for all the love you've given me.. I'm so lucky to have your support.

All my love,
D
