stayed at a haunted place!
reached there after 6 hours of bus ride.
it was an apartment building... 4-5 buildings. the outer view looked so majestic, but yet very runned down!
we reached the apartment and realised out of the 400 plus units that were available, we were one of the only ones occupying the apartments... all our units were away from each other.. none was just beside each other...
entered the apartment and found out that there were 2 rooms there.. the kitchen had no utensils, very badly maintained... there were no bed sheets.. dirty rooms...
the worst was, i went to toilet and the next thing i found out was, the water, instead of flushing downwards, it was flushing upwards and going to overflow ... and in it held much dirty contents!
we wanted to change the room, but was told that maintenence could not help because the pump had spoilt. in the end, they offered us a change of room, with 3 bedrooms instead of 2 ( that was a totally bad choice). we swopped rooms from C block to A block. on our key for the A block, it wrote level 13A. Hence, we pressed the lift for the 13th floor. But the maintanence guy told us that there was no 13th floor... 13th floor will not be open for customers.!
we reached the 14th floor... and checked into the room. the basins were bad, spider webs could be seen. there were lizards also!haiz.
anyway 2 of our friends left our apartment and headed home when they were trapped in the lift between the 5th and 6th floor! and they forced open the door and jumped to the fifth level!
the next morning, the lift was still not working. JD had to run down several storeys to press the lift for the lift to go up to pick us up. However, he ran to the 13th, 12th and 11th storey. To no avail... and finally the lift suddenly proceeded to the 14th level when we could not even press the button at the 14th level at all! JD dashed up all the way to join us... scary yeah...
finally race starts... i was hanging ard with darling SHU throughout the race... the race entry was a small one .. the swim start was quite messy.. but because there were few pple, it was still manageable... they used loud hailers to call for the swimmers into a start point...and off they went...
the swim was relatively easy.. i dashed for the start...was in front.. swam an easy swim to the u turn point.. looked at my watch and realised it was 13mins... then i sped up.. in the end, finished the swim in 25min and 3 seconds... realised i was the second/third girl out of the water...
took my bike and prepared for my weakest leg of all...the bike leg...
as usual, i took off, and was overtaken by more than 15 ladies! ... demoralised... when i met S as i was turning into the transition area, she was already 2km in front of me in the run leg... i dropped off my bike... and then ran off.. not expecting to come in top 10 at all... but as i ran, i realised i could start to see several ladies in front of me...i tried to increase my pace... and as i ran faster, i could feel my legs performing...
i tried very hard to catch up with S.. throughout my run, there was nobody that caught up with me.. i was catching up with all the guys and ladies!! yeah!
just 2 km towards the end point, i saw s... chased hard... and then ran with her for a distance.. we were playing the catching game! she is really strong! i wanted to give up at a point of time!... but the at last km mark... i saw a water point, then i sped off! not looking back.. and caught another girl!
when i reached the end point, timing was 2hr 40min... and realised i had came in 5th! JD did an excellent job.. it was his first OD.. came in 2 hr 33 min.. so proud of him!
received 600 ringgit as prize money! Shu also won some money.. she came in 10th! good job!
when we reached the apartment back there... the lift was still not working. jd and me placed our bikes at our friends' apartment in block c and came back to block a and climbed all the way up 14 storeys!! .. packed our stuff, walked down 14 storeys with PS, alber and SHU... and realised the life suddenly worked!!!
I will never ever want to stay in this apartment anymore! it's soooo errie!!!!photos after the race:
