Radio botak is playing Hokkien song today, yes you hear it right we are going Hokkien retro!
福建歌曲:拢是为着你啦. 为我迪马没跑进5而默哀3秒钟。

拢是为着你啦 (原唱：李嘉）

无人亲像我拼到安泥大看到5：01:18 我目屎流袂煞
不是我一时跑不开只是我一时太懒弱
所以5点内跑不刷

对跑马的心总嘛是永远无变卦
对4：30的情永远是放在俺脚
虽然孤单我嘛是甘愿受拖磨
一月一马拢是为4：30啦

无人亲像我跑到这尼滥 5:01迪马我目屎流袂煞
拢怪我一时跑不开拢怪我没有飞毛腿
只有我短短的脚腿

对跑马的心总嘛是永远无变卦
对4：30的情永远是放在俺脚
虽然孤单我嘛是甘愿受拖磨
一月一马拢是为4：30啦

跑马的心总嘛是永远无变卦
4：30的情永远是放在俺脚
虽然孤单我嘛是甘愿受拖磨
一月一马拢是为4：30啦

拢是为着你啦

膝盖膝盖我爱你

Botak 又有罪，又来忏悔.....



迪拜马不只没拿下PB最后还被关在5号大门外欲哭无泪，汗水却大把...
唯一欣慰的是能高唱：

膝盖膝盖我爱你， 膝盖膝盖没代及
我的膝盖没问题， 一月一马爱死你 

回想是太轻敌了...
迪马全程42.195平平坦坦,早上6.30开跑凉爽18度. 


首5Km轻松29：39，10km 59:55, 20Km 首次以1：59：58拿下，嘿嘿老子坐4.35望4.30再望哟阿狼就在前头。

兵傲必败！太阳出来了，开始热了，20km后豪华的迪马既然就不再提供运动饮料了！！ 30km, 3:14:53,
PB 没望了那进5该没问题吧！迪拜冬天的太阳会咬人, 气温升上28，又热又潮湿,
接着2个5Km在没停没走下既然花了45分 与46分!!
是海市蜃楼?还是我跑进第4度空间??
跑不好就得给自己找借口...豪华的迪拜，你颁发百万奖金给那些悍马，
您老爸银子多，老子botak没意见，
但大爷您忘了为我们这些小子，男子,女子,中子，老子着想就百万千万万万不该!!
令伯的运动饮料呢？香蕉喂猴子了？巧克力溶掉了？.什么鸟都没有！！
最后2.195为进5而chiong ah! It's too late baby its too late -

啊我的迪马




第2天早拉mohan去酒店健身房recovery run, 录了我们的跑步姿式，比较后发现比起mohan我的跑姿太笨挫了，
太没经济效益, 慢动作下还发现我的右脚落地有很大的问题，得改，
evolution running, chi running wait for me



忏悔...才怪！
Happy Being Me... No Pretense..No Apologies
I Am Just Me

A Dear John Letter

Botak received his first fan's letter.

Oi Botak,

I am Johnnie Lee from Kampong Coconut Hill End, back then people called me John, and called you Ah Pui. We were from the same primary school but different class. Remember the rivalry when we played huntam bola, catch spider and chasing girls:)) Those were the days mann!!

I am a huge fan of your radio botak and always enjoyed your oldies but goodies. When I read your "A Dear Knee Letter" I fall on my knees, it reminds me of my favourite song "A Dear John Letter" When my first girlfriend, Suzie sang it to me, my knees never break but my heart broke to a thousand pieces. Please botak, for old time sake, please play "A dear John Letter" again. I am a sentimental old fashion man, long time never heart broken, please break it one more time.

sign Johnnie Lee

When I saw this letter pasted on my front door this morning, At first I thought it was those O$P$ guys making a BIG mistake. It was a relieve to know it was from Johnnie Lee. Promptly I replied.

Dear John,
How rrr u mann? Heard u make it good huh? Big time contractor, staying in bungalow, driving big mercesdy! Life must have been good to u! Yes I remember those days fondly too. Never mind that Suzie lah, she surely regret BIG TIME now one.

Your wishes is my command, for the good old days, radio botak will play "A Dear John Letter". Since we get sentimental, I will play "My sentimental friend" by Herman Hermit when I find the old 45.

sign
your sentimental old friend Ah Pui

PS: Lets catch up for coffee soon, then I can introduce you to my other favorite past time - Marathon. Don't worry, unlike Suzie, marathon will not break your heart, in fact it is very good for your heart:)) the only worry is if you run in-correctly, it will break your knees:)))

A Dear John Letter - Ferlin Husky

Dear John, Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another, Dear John.

Recitation:
I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me
And he handed me a letter, I was happy as I could be
For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won
Then I opened up the letter and it started, "Dear John."

Dear John, Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another, Dear John.

Recitation:
Will you please send back my picture, my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding, you won't care, dear, anyhow
Now the ceremony has started and I'll wed your brother Don
Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John

A Dear Knees Letter

Dear Knees, Oh, how I hate to write
Dear Knees, I must let you know tonight....

My dearest right and left knee,

Please forgive me for the unnecessary trauma I caused to both of you due to my ignorance and wrong running method in 2009. By running so many marathons last year, it makes me the bigger fool. I don't know where the pluck I got the focking idea of running heel down first (ouch!). It was after watching Evolution Running that I realized how much agonies I bestow upon you (which happen to be me too). I never meant to hurt you, trusts me, It pains me as much as you. (of course lah stupid! those are my knees what!).

For the benefits of my follow runners, may I have your permission to replay our October 2009 Interval training (which now seems so brainless) so that they will no make the same mistakes as I do :((

My non-fatal mistakes were :
1) Arms not swinging backward
2) Heels not flicking backward

My fatal mistakes:
1) Over strike with foot way in front of knee
2) Resulting in BANG! Heel hitting the ground first!!!!

Hopefully it will save many of my friends and also many of your friends with a common name call KNEES.

thank you and sayang sayang

yours dearest-ly
