Pain? Just a perception? D4447 - That is the number of my running bib in the recently concluded pre marathon run of 30km. Somebody who is highly superstitious or particularly particular about numbers and if you are a Malaysian Chinese, you would have your version of interpretation. From the experience of mixing and growing up with superstition, my take on this number is like this. Generally the number 4 (sei, si) is shunned as it sounds similar to death in most Chinese dialects. 8 (pat, fatt) is desirable for its symmetrical appearance and its sound akin to prosperity. 7 is okay too as it signifies something complete like how 7 days complete a week. Detractors will also argue that one justify their claim by looking only at what they want to see. Well, the way I see it, the racing number denotes how my Back to Basics 30km run went. Deterrence started with a bruised knee sustained two weeks before the race. Dried concrete on the training tarmac sent me sliding on my kne...

It first started with the greeting of "hello Uncle" and your reply to "Sorry, I don't remember being related to your mother!". Then it became, "You just don't understand!" And finally, you know that it has hit the next phase when one who has turned 31 years start condemning the generation younger than them as "these young people just don't get it!"! During my last outing, there was this 31-year-old guy, born in the prosperous years after the 80s, shown obviously by his bulging abdominal girth, went on a rampage telling the crowd how he cannot fathom what the youngsters are thinking these days! And it was about their fixation with their fingers doing the talking rather than talking in somebody's face. And how alienated these aliens are out of touch with reality! This is funny because when I see this 31-year-old, I look at him as coming from a planet. Looks like I am turning into a dinosaur. Welcome to 2013 as I enter the Se...

8.3.2010 Soliloquy of numbers…..numbers… Today is the 2 nd anniversary of Malaysian political tsunami. Though this may be a historical date for me as a Malaysian, for someone who did his primary and secondary school education in the National language, did his undergraduate studies in a local varsity (instead of an overseas offer, for better or worse), did postgraduate studies with a state scholarship, served 7 public hospitals and is paying a sizable amount of taxes annually, why do I still remember these insignificant dates and numbers? How is it going to benefit mankind? Why do I remember the following numbers? Why??? 6103 Hutchings school registration number 5.1.1970 1 st day of school in Std 1 PD 8886 Father’s first motorbike PJ 9535 Father’s 2 nd motorbike PM 1337 Another of father’s bike PB 581 The bike forever breaking do...
