Royal 8ths at WWF Race

On the 3rd of June, Jamalludin (Budin), Kam Kasturie, Azly (Bandit) Anuar (Kitol), Doc Hisyam (Ala), and Shahrir (Lebet) took part in the WWF Race held at Tasik Perdana.

We volunteered to join the teams representing WWF. Each team consists of one celebrity, 2-3 WWF staff and 1-2 volunteers. Only 5 pax per team. We were quite disappointed that a few celebrities could not make it for various reasons! Only 2 out of around 6 made it! We SALUTE Aishah Sinclair and Joanna Bassey for keeping their commitment!!

The race director was from Nomad Adventures (the sadistic bunch that brought you Eco-X, AXN KL Challenge etc)..

As you can see here (well partially), Kam and Budin trying to catch up with Joanna..

Results.. well, one of the WWF teams managed to get 4th place.. the overall winner was KIWANIS (a charity organization for children with down syndrome- therefore, it was a pleasure to lose to such an organization).

Well done WWF, we SALUTE your contributions in saving the animals and educating the humans on their responsibility as citizens of this world.. we SALUTE your efforts in making this world a better place to live in.. and thank you for allowing us to race with you.. see you next year??

Kayuh di Kemensah (27 May 2007)

Last weekend, Budin, Kam, Bandit & Hakim (junior) pergi berkayuh di Kemensah. On that weekend, muka-muka biasa tak turun pasal diaorang pergi Kenyir Triathlon. RV at 0730 kat Kampung Kemensah. Because Ala (Doc Hisyam) was not around, we decided that the ride should be a casual one.

Persiapan untuk kayuh.. Budin tengah check back pack and Bandit tengah tunggu..

The route headed to Lumbuk Tedung. It was a casuat ride, so we completed only 30% of the distance. Highest point of the ride.. with Budin 'wanted' to go further, and Bandit 'agreed' but Kam and Hakim had enough.. (or was it the other way around?)

We rode down to Isi Rimba where we had our Family Day.. had breakfast and berendam.. check out the man-breast.. wooohooooo... Photo says it all..

Mosque Order 1991

Surrounding Commandant Boy- Mawardi "Jawa" Abu Bakar after Friday Prayers in 1991.

A question: We can understand Mahindra wearing his No 3.. But why was Cairil "Ucop" Anuar and Hermi "Bai" Edwar in No 3 Orders?

Note the shinny shoes of Fahmi "Penyu" Hashim, Razi "Boot" Pahlavi and Kam "Jagung" Kasturie (hint- the guy in corni-ish yellow).

Also note the one whose had his dreams come true- Azman "Cimon" Che Meh, now with Regimen Gerak Khas (Division/Section and whereabouts unknown- INFORMATION CLASSIFIED). We sleep easy knowing that you are out there protecting our country.
