I’m ANGRY, ENRAGED, FUMING, FURIOUS, SEETHING, LIVID, SMOULDERING, ALL WORKED UP and TOTALLY, UTTERLY, COMPLETELY DEVASTATED, DEJECTED, DISAPPOINTED (caps fully intended!) that I cannot join my what-would-have-been-first 5 km ‘fun run’ at the KL Marathon 2009 this Sunday, 28th June.
All that preparation and training for the past TWO MONTHS gone to waste! And to think I even ran several kilometres (never mind if they were on a hotel treadmill) when I was in Oman. And in Jakarta. At midnight when the children are all asleep. Early mornings on weekends. Just so I could be ready for the run.
And all because a certain person who was supposed to register our group did not do so… for the lame reason that he’s not available on 28th June. Just because he can’t make it, everyone else has to suffer? And he only told me today, a mere three days before the actual marathon, long after the registration closed! He didn’t even tell me personally — he merely sent me a text message (which, in retrospect is a wise thing to do, considering my reaction right now!).
And this is a person whom I thought I could always depend on, who has never let me down before. I guess that’s what angers me the most.
ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
Now you all know I don’t take disappointment very well.

does he even realize the repercussion of his non-action? he owes you big time! unless he wants his body parts in wolverine’s claws as a kebab.

I’m so sorry. I know how frustrated you must be, and I am trying to put this into terms that I would understand because it’s awful to trust someone and then have that trust betrayed. However, all I can think is Shew, I’m glad I don’t have to run a 5K. So sorry that you don’t have to, though.

hay naku mimi, i understand you. lalo na if you’ve been preparing hard and it’s because of the irresponsibility of other people kaya kayo hindi nakaregister. bottomline is, he should have told you sooner para magawan pa ng paraan…

oh man if that guy put me in this kind of situation after all that hard work, i will surely punch him in the face if i see him..((kidding)) sorry about how you feel.

uh-oh! i feel bad for you and your group. tsk tsk. i guess you’re crossing out this person’s name from your holiday list. i hope you feel better soon, mimi. *hugs*

thanks for the kind words, everyone. i’m still disappointed but not as mad anymore. i suppose everything happens for a reason. but i’m disappointed anyhow. maybe i’ll just do my own 5K run on my own this weekend. but it just won’t be the same as running with 12,500 other people… (to all malaysians: the marathon will be broadcast live on TV. and many roads in KL will be closed sunday morning!)
jessi: you’re so funny :) ya, the thought of a 5K run is not exactly fun. but believe it or not, you get a certain high after running. and you end up more energized afterwards and require less sleep. whenever i don’t run for a week, i start getting lethargic. that’s the sign i need to put on my running shoes again :)

Oh, so sorry to hear. There will be a next time…There will be another time…

that’s sad to hear.. I know how much effort must have been put in for the run. I do hope you get to run for the next run or any other run.
