Had a leg-pain run yesterday at Standard Chartered Run Marathon 2012 with buddies.

We took 10km leisure run which starts at 8am and the starting point is at Dataran Merdeka.

Since major of the roads are closed in Kuala Lumpur, so we decided to take LRT to the nearest station, Masjid Jamek.

Woke up at 6am to get ready and head to my house nearest LRT station.

Sun also yet wake up.

Meet up with the others at the mid of the journey. Cam-ho with them on the new Nokia Lumia 900 and it's taken with the front camera. It's wide enough to cam-ho tho :)


All look hyper before the run start. Check out the crowd at behind! According to the organiser, this marathon has 28,000 participates and this 10km run alone already has 4,XXX people take part.

2 months back ago, there was a big hype of the "WWW" number plate registration. The "WWW" tender was open as early as 1st of April.

It was revealed that "WWW 1" has set a new record as the country's most expensive vehicle registration number with the bid for the plate registered at RM520,000 (Approx US $160k)

As you can see below, the WWW 1 was won by our Sultan Johor.


Everyone was wonder which vehicle would wore this expensive "WWW 1" number plate?

It was answered yesterday over the social networks, Twitter & Facebook.

The "WWW 1" will sat on a Proton Satria Neo.

RM520k on a RM50k car? It's very hard to justify.

I strongly believe this is just a temporary car before his "BIG TOY" is coming out.

What do you guys think? Manage to get yourself "WWW" number plate?

Wonder how's does the upcoming Honda Civic 2012?

Our neighbour Honda Thailand has actually selling the all new Honda Civic 2012.
