A Tragic Sunday

The risk of collapsing & fainting during runs is always imminent. Therefore, always expect the unexpected!


Funny looking shape, but still a medal is a medal!


I understand that everybody wants to be a winner, no problem with me. The only thing that bothers me is when a person refuses to go through the road of preparation & yet, expecting results to happen. Thus, when you didn't manage to get what you want, you start pointing fingers at others for your misfortune!

Runners were presented their finishing medals & free gifts

Here is a runner smiling like an idiot =P


Someone actually lost his life yesterday. Apparently, he suffered from a cardiac arrest during the run. There were probably around 16000 runners participated in this event, where the majority are made up by beginners whom had never finish a 10km race before. I predicted that the victim's family is likely gonna sue the organisers for negligence.

If you think about it, would the guy be still alive if he had prepared himself both physically & mentally? Personal Mystery Shopping Trainer has no problem with people wanting to achieve greatness, he's perfectly fine with it. But please discipline yourself first! I'm not just referring to the dead guy because many runners were also making the same mistakes. Though they were small, they can be potentially fatal as well should you choose to be ignorant;


  1. Didn't had breakfast or something to eat prior to the run
  2. Didn't had a proper warm up
  3. Didn't conditioned yourself physically through regular training (I think that's how he died, padan muka!)
  4. Sprinting too early from the start
  5. Never gave yourself time to catch your breath due to personal pride (lagi padan muka!)


Okay sympathise the dead guy a bit lah. Even though it was his own mistake in the first place, you have to take the medical officers to be held responsible too because their ambulance van lack the the most basic equipment necessary needed for emergency situations, which is a Defibrillator (something like a mask to supply oxygen). What is this man? You can't just go to the roadside looking for potential patients to help without any equipment available whatsoever!


The 'tidak apa' attitude by M'sians, it's so typical of them ~
