Maritime Run 2017

-
Just keep running. This is the tag line of Kementerian  Pengangkutan Malaysia ( Ministry of Transport Malaysia) during the first Maritime Run last 10 December 2017 at Precinct 4, Putrajaya.
The event was graced by thousands of running enthusiasts all over Malaysia and even runners from other counties. There were  three categories: 21-kilometre or half marathon; 10-kilometre; and 5-kilometre fun run. It was officiated by Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai, Ministry of Transport.

In line with this event, Malaysian Maritime Academy Sdn. Berhad sent and gave its greatest support to all 44 participants ( 17 staff and 27 students) who departed ALAM as early as 3 o'clock in the morning to be able to meet the flag off time for 21-km at 0530 hrs, 10-km at 0630 hrs and 5-km at 0700 hrs, accordingly.










This was my first official half marathon (21.097 kilometres) in Malaysia finished with the time of 2 hours 28 minutes and 43 seconds achieving my sub 2.5 target ( sub 2.5 means your finishing time is below 2 hours and 30 minutes).











 There was also one staff who ran the same distance with me, Mr. Roslan Sulaiman. He was able to beat his previous personal record for half marathon, finishing 30 minutes faster than his previous personal best.













Another thing that made me happy aside from finishing the distance within my target is that, one of my friends, Ranet Elvis, was able to found some interest in running. She ran 5 kilometres for a start. From then, I was looking forward for her to have more runs and run longer distance.









After the event, I, together with some ALAM staff and cadets decided to donate blood. Since my vital sign are all okay and I am qualified to do so, I never hesitate to proceed with it. This thing is already my pledge to do at least once or twice a year. Apart from that, we went to a nearby mall and find some foods to satisfy our hungry tummy.
And that's how I spent almost half day of 10 December 2017. I was indeed happy for I got a chance to run again after 16 months of being off season from any running event.

Best sword ever created in history

One Slice , One Kill 1 . Napoleon's Sword On the battlefield Napoleon carried a pistol and a sword. He owned a large collection of arms and artillery. His weapons were one of a kind and included the best materials. In the summer of 2007, a gold-encrusted sword that once belonged to Napoleon was auctioned off in France for more than $6.4 million dollars. The sword was used by Napoleon in battle. In the early 1800s, Napoleon presented the weapon to his brother as a wedding gift. The sword was passed down from generation to generation, never leaving the Bonaparte family. In 1978, the sword was declared a national treasure in France and the winner of the auction was not identified. 2 . Sword of Mercy The Sword of Mercy has a broken blade, which is cut off short and square. In 1236, the weapon was given the name curtana and has since been used for royal ceremonies. In ancient times it was a privilege to bear this sword before the king. It was considered a merciful gesture. The stor...

TASK VS WORKLOAD

1.TASK a  task  is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time or by a deadline to work towards work-related goals. A task can be broken down into assignments which should also have a defined start and end date or a deadline for completion. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task normally renders the task completed. Tasks can be linked together to create dependencies. Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others. Coordinated human interaction takes on the role of combining the integration of time, energy, effort, ability, and resources of multiple individuals to meet a common goal. Coordination can also be thought of as the critical mechanism that links or ties together the efforts on the singular level to that of the larger task being completed by multiple members. Coordination allows for the successful completion of the othe...

Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has their own national symbols to identify themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism. Check out these official national symbols of the Philippines: Credit: Google NATIONAL ANIMAL: CARABAO If common men have dogs as their best friend, then the carabao or Philippine water buffalo is the Filipino farmer’s best friend. They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods. But, without any laws to recognized them, they’ll remain an unofficial symbol of the country.

As popular as it is for making desserts, there is no law that proclaims it as a national symbol. Credit: Go...
