Virgin run at KLCC Park

Having been based at KL city centre for work since, I find that the after-work traffic has been getting from bad to worse lately. I also find it that it’s almost impossible to make it to my usual TTDI park for a nice evening run. As much as I like to do my run after work, running on treadmill at gym doesn’t seems to give as much satisfaction compared to running outdoor.

The solution…. I started look out for alternative. Lake garden is a nice park to run, but I’ll still need to get stuck in the traffic for 40min just to get out from my office. Next option…. KLCC park. I wonder why it took quite a while to come out with that idea…..

KLCC is just 10min walk away from my office, which would probably takes less than 5min if i run. KLCC park seems like a perfect place to fulfil my itchy legs after work.

Today, I finally had a chance to run at KLCC park after work.  Running in the city park surrounded by many high-rise building is amazing. The park is very runners friendly with many drinking fountain along the jogging path. In fact it made me felt like and idiot carrying my own bottle of water around just in case I need to rehydrate. The path is brightly lit. It seems like a very safe place to run even when the sky is dark. Found a perfect running spot which is so near my office. Loving it!

Now, I started to like being base in the city centre. I could access all sort of facilities and everything is so convenient. The next thing is to look for a property to live in KL city centre.

I've passed!

Yay! I've passed! i've passed my takaful exam! For those that have no idea what it is, it's actually an exam for islamic based insurance. Since the bank I'm currently work for offer islamic banking product, I'm required to sit for this certification exam.

The toughest part is actually the fact that the whole exam is in Malay language. I thought i've improved my Malay upon returning from Australia and started working for a few years here. it proved me wrong when I hardly understand the questions being asked from the exam paper. the worse part, I didn't even bother to read up the given study material before hand due to crazy work schedule. It also didn't help when the colleague that went along with me for the exam had failed and was sitting for it for the 4th time!

Anyway, i'm glad that I've gotten over it. Result was out recently, both me and my collegue passed the exam. Thank God!
