My first Cross country run was when I was in fou. The Principle at that time was Mr. Moses Tay and all The student some how must participate in at least one games or event. Those who did not respond were chased by The principle who force them to run. Me after going to ACS only I showed interest in long distance run, due to the School ad minds encouragement and my interest in the event, I trained daily and became one of the trek queen of my school. For the first time i was selected for the district and then I Qualified for the state level.
for the first Time I ran 3000 meter with the 20 year Old runners. i was the smallest and the shortest girl in that event.
After Schooling, due to family commitments and involvements I was unable to concentrate in the Long distance , run but in the year 84, my brother who was teaching in a Chinese Primary school told me that year The Kinta Teacher Training College Organized the State level teachers day celebration and one of the event was 3 km big walk. I joined one of my sisters sister in law who is a teacher and her husband also a teacher, so I followed them to Ipoh in their car. I managed to become 2nd and I was overjoyed with my performance.
That was my last participation in athletics before married to my husband. After married I pursued my interest with my kids, first i played with them by taking them to the parks and played football with them.
as my children grew, I started training jogging in the early mornings around 5 am daily. During that time I participated in as many runs as I can. My interest in Long distance started when I started to follow the the foreign Athletics program mes on TV Channels. Not only That, once I read a real life story of a woman who ran half marathon
