I am once again abroad for the …. ok, I lost count but you get the drift. This trip was planned back in March and it was one of our ritual annual “SuperFriends” trip which we haven’t been doing for the past three years. So now it has happened.. Our 11th to 15th September Bali trip materialised though I was the last person to join the group as I was busy covering the 25th UBD Convocation yesterday morning.

I have to say though that I won’t be updating as much for the next two days or so. One reason being is that the villa that we are staying in has unstable wifi connection. I will post more about the villa we are staying in – Happy Umalas Villas at Umalas itself. So apologies to my readers and my clients if my updates will be slightly slower than usual. Not to worry as I will be back in full gear coming Monday.. Woohooo!!!

Getting ready to fly through AirAsia.. Great connecting flights from Brunei to Bali btw. You can still fly the morning or afternoon and still reach Bali on the same day 😀

The villas are pretty good actually

Trying to do my work but man, the internet speed sucks. A good time to appreciate the TelBru services 😀

Breakfast is served every morning

Awwwww… sweet love

 

Press conference with the CE-ALAF team few days ago

BIBD today announced the closing for the enrollment for its CEALAF (Charity Expedition for Advocating Lifelong Learning for an Aspiring Future) Midnight Marathon, which will happen today at 5.00pm (13th September). The CE-ALAF organizing committee is pleased to share that they have received an overwhelming response from enthusiast runners for this category.

The BIBD Midnight Marathon, making its first appearance on the BIBD CE-ALAF roster, is a full 42km marathon run that represents a more goal-oriented aim for contributions towards the ALAF programme. Selected participants will be running a sponsorship programme whereby corporate organizations and individuals will have the chance to sponsor, instantly contributing towards the ALAF programme, for every kilometre taken by these runners. It is reminded that only a group of 25 local participants will be selected from an open registration system. So far there are more than 40 registrants which is more than BIBD expected. However, only 25 runners will be chosen for the full marathon.

The registration for this category of the BIBD CE-ALAF was available on the website for a period of two weeks and selected participants will be chosen via an internal selection process, which require the participants to answer a short question; “Why do you want to run the marathon for the BIBD CE-ALAF?”. The selected 25 participants will be notified and their details will be posted on the BIBD CE-ALAF website, whilst the remaining group will be prompted to join the other categories on offer.

Furthermore, these selected participants will be trained and coached by BIBD’s own Marathon Des Sables (MDS) runners, Hamsul Sulaiman and Ahmad Fathi Junaidi, who ran the toughest footrace on earth earlier in the year. The MDS was held over seven days and six stages, enduring 155 miles (250 km), which is equivalent to running 5 1/2 marathons. They will advise the selected 25 runners in their mental and physical preparations for the 42km run.

The coaches will also provide run clinics on a weekly basis to further help in their training for the BIBD CE-ALAF Midnight Marathon. This will provide them with an avenue for the runners to share their weekly report on their progress, converse and gain invaluable experiences with the MDS runners.
