2 hectic days

I was super busy for the last weekend, took up the offer made by Hui Hsing to go to this KL Mountain Bike Carnival (klmtb) held in Taman Lembah Kiara, TTDI. It was a totally new experience to me. I always thought bicycle is just a tool to transport, or just to have some fun riding around, didn't know there are a lot a lot of bike freakos around the world..haha..

Due to the night job, I'm half asleep when I'm in klmtb , even fell asleep when I'm sitting down doing nothing. The competition has a few categories , Men's Elite , Men's 18-30 , Men's 31-35, Men's 36-40 , Men's 41 & above , Women's Elite , Women's 18 and above and lastly Youth. I think the price of the bike over there range from thousand to ten thousands , exclusive their accessories (helmet , glove, attire, bags , etc etc etc.. ) .
At first I thought this competition was riding on a normal road going uphill or anything just like that , seems like i'm wrong , it's like going jungle trekking by using bike ! Look at the video bottom then you will get the picture what I'm talking about.

The whole journey is around 2.1 km per lap , and some of them need to do 6 laps , which is like 12.6 km in total . It may sounds like a very small number, but imagine now you are going a total of 163 m tall of uphill by using bicycle , and you are competing to get RM 3000 , then that's hell..your legs hurts so so so badly man .. And usually one lap takes around 14 minutes , but some crazy people manage to finish one round in 9 minutes time in average, and I would say that as very very fast.

There are some interesting people at there also , when i reach there I saw two "tall" people using some kind of tool walking around , at first i thought that guy is physically handicaped or anything..but when i took a closer look , their leg is totally fine , they are just using it to give out flyers to promote their product , Gacgaroo!

A tool I would consider it as interesting but not practical , dont' really see any purpose of using that thing.
And one thing I want to comment about their flyers is .. one of the point they wrote inside was "TIRED OF TRAFFIC JAMS" ?? How the hell is that thing is going to help us to avoid traffic jam ?? Is it with this we can jump over all the cars ??
Hui Hsing and Lu Ling decided to try out this gacgaroo , Lu Ling's leg was too small , so she didn't really get to try it . Hui Hsing said this b4 his first attempt : " How hard this thing would be , it's just like standing a bit taller only. " Haha..he is so wrong man , he can't even balance himself when he is with that thing!
Then I tried also , since everyone is having fun. Yeah it wasn't really easy at first , but after that i can start walking without any help , haha .. here's the picture !

Oh yeah , one more thing I get to try out at there -- "Breathe Right" .
It's something like a plaster put on your nose then it will increase your efficiency in breathing by 31% ( according to the ads ) . So i have tried it out also . When i wear that thing ,i can feel that my nose is starting to expand , expand , expand , expand until it's going to EXPLODE !!
Feeling very uneasy at first , but after that i'm ok with it . I guess the ad didn't really bluff people, it does help to breathe better ! It helps to avoid snoring too , I think it's best to give to my roommate =p
However , wearing this to the toilet is a very very wrong choice , I can feel as if all kinds of smells going into my nose , DAMN IT !


The prizes was quite ok.
First placing for Elites is RM 3000.
Normal Categories is RM 800.
Youth is RM 600 .
The whole event last for 2 days and ends at 6 pm ( Sunday ) . It's tiring but I had some fun over there , earn some $$ at there also ..haha..
Super exhausted after that , straight away rush back to Malacca after the event ^^

When is time to rest , is time to rest !
