Penang Run 2013

I have never thought that I will have another long distance run of 17km with incline trail just about 2 months after the Penang bridge run last year. With the encouragement from fella running friends, this is my first time participating in the Penang run 2013 which will be held on 27 Jan 2013. I did not get much information about this run before I signed up for the run. Last week just got to know that this event coincides with the big celebration of indian festival. I can feel that it is inconsiderate to hold such an big event on festive day. I hope the organizer learnt a lesson and do not repeat the same thing again next year so that every citizen has a chance to participate in the event.


First time couldn't complete a marathon. I stopped at 8.28km due to sprain at the knee that totally stopped me from running. I wished I could continue the run but I can't. So I stopped and waved for transportation back to usm. I need to consult doctor and really need more rest.

Sungai Batu - Sunset Shooting

Every time I thought of taking seascape photo for sunset in Penang, I will think about Sungai Batu. This place is located slightly outskirt to the south of Penang island. I have been to this place a couple of times but most of the time I am just stopping at the pier and wondering how to get deeper into the rocky beach. This time I keep the constancy of purpose and explore deep into the urban area and finally I found the rocky beach by myself. It was kind of insecure to go by yourself because it is a "Kampung" and it is quite dark after the sun set. So, make sure you bring torch light and insect repellent and go to this place in a group of people. All in all, this is a nice spot for sunset shooting that landscape photographer must go!
