My First Virtual Run (7.3 KM Friendship Day Virtual Run 2020)

my e-certificate

received my medal on 29th September 2020

So cute right?

I bought the ticket from ticket2u.com. It is available for Malaysia and Singapore. Registration was super easy, all you have to do is to register and make your payment. Then wait till the running event period. Get your phone to track your running progress and screenshot it every time after you ran. You need to upload your run results and the system will automatically accumulate your total of run. Make sure you complete the challenge within the stated period. After the event ended, organizer will send out the medal to you.

The main reason I joined this run is because of the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet medal. I don't really run, but I definitely ran for this. Just a moment made during the RMCO period :)

Sabah Election During Covid-19 Pandemic

Throwback to 26th September 2020 (Saturday), the 16th Sabah State Election was held. It was held during the Covid-19 pandemic, it wasn't the best time for the public to go out especially involves mass gathering. Everyone who went out definitely taken the risk just to cast a vote for a better future. 

After the election ended, Sabah definitely is the center of attention again not only rising cases everyday but also most Covid-19 cases in Malaysia. Since 29th of September till today, few districts in Sabah has been put into Targeted Enhanced Movement Control Order (TEMCO) and Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).

Other states are non-stop blaming Sabah for the wide spread of the virus, blaming Sabah for holding the election. We didn't want it either. As Sabahan why we did it? We voted and did our part and also risked our life just to save our homeland and all we wanted was just a good and not corrupted government to lead. 

Let's pray for a better tomorrow.

Mango Chili Relish Recipe (Sambal Manga)

21st May 2020, Thursday

It's the season of MANGO! Thanks to tai q (uncle) and tai yi (aunty) for all types of mangoes, I dont know the names, I only know there are big and small ones. 

There's this type of mangoes which are smaller and not ripe ones we called it manga muda (young mango), we'll be using to make Mango Chili Relish or Sambal Manga.

Step 1: Peel of the mango skin, cut it into half and remove the seed. After that grate the mango into fine pieces. (Buka kulit mangga, potong mangga kepada separuh dan buangkan bijinya. Kemudian parut mangga menjadi halus)

Step 2: Prepare all the ingredients needed: garlic, red onion, grated mango, chili paste, some sugar, and salt. (Sediakan semua bahan yang diperlukan: bawang putih, bawang merah, manga yang sudah diparut, lada, gula dan garam)

Step 3: Crush the garlic using a pestle and mortar. (Gunakan lesung batu untuk tumbuk bawang putih.)

Step 4: Add in the red onion and crush and mix them well. (Masukkan bawang merah dan tumbuk bersama.)

Step 5: Add in some salt according to your taste like. (Tambahkan garam mengikut rasa sendiri.)

Step 6: Add chili paste and mix well. (Tambahkan lada dan lumatkan)

Step 7: If you have some larger pieces of mangoes that cannot be grated, crush them and add some sugar. (Jika ada mangga yang tidak dapat diparut, tumbukkan dalam lesung batu dan tambahkan sedikit gula)

Step 8: Then mix in together the grated mangoes and add sugar according to your taste like. 

Step 9: Put everything in a bowl and mix them well. You may add in more chili, salt and sugar according to your own preference. (Masukkan semua ke dalam mangkuk dan gaul hingga sebati. Anda boleh menambah lada, garam dan gula mengikut rasa masing-masing)

Step 10: Mango Chili Relish is ready to served! (Sambal Manga siap untuk dihidang)

Try it for yourself!
