Penang Marathon 2014

Penang marathon is the most anticipated run of the year. We heard there's about 60k people participating in this run this year. Some claimed the registration was closed within a few weeks due to overwhelming response.

This year round many of our comrades are challenging the full marathon. Some came prepared with compression pants, salonpass muscle aids, vaseline and not forgetting the power gels. Even with preparations, some sores and blisters are unavoidable. Alas, all finish in great glory. Welldone!!! Marathoners! As kimmarun boy put it:

Be it sub 4 or sub 5,
Even if you are sub 6 or sub 7,
We have Great Tips,
For u to Enhance the trip...

We came for the Food-athon.

We also managed to caught a street artist in action painting the town for an art event. There is 21 artists being flown to Penang for this event. This pretty artist is from US.

Sunday Ride to Sunshine Farm

This weekend our farm has got some special visitors, kimmarun boy bikers friends William and Sunny. They rode about 500km through the winding roads via Kuala Lipis. Its a challenging ride since its been raining non stop from yesterday noon this year end season.

The Farm Visit

It has been raining heavily these few days. There is the plastic covers built above the vegetables to keep them safe from heavy downpour. With this, we may maintain a consistent production for supplying to our vendors.

Ah pa explaining about water sysyem used in the farm. Water are sourced from higher grounds. When there's heavy rain, the water may have more residues. Thus we need to ensure the water is filtered so that the water sprinklers will not fail,i.e stuck with small rocks.
