Azizul to use ACC to gauge his form

PETALING JAYA: Olympic cyclist Azizulhasni Awang plans to gauge his form at the Asian Cycling Championships (ACC) in New Delhi from March 7-17. Azizul could only have a short preparation for the ACC due to a visa snag which delayed his return to rejoin national coach John Beasley at the national training camp in Melbourne. The 26-year-old also skipped the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk from Feb 20-24. The ACC will also be the first proper international competition for Azizul since he competed in the London Olympics last August. The Dungun rider finished sixth in the keirin final in London. “The ACC marks my return to competition after the London Olympics ... I had a long break and also welcomed my daughter Amna Maryam last November,” said Azizul, who’ll leave for India this weekend. “Then my training programme suffered because of the visa snag ... so, I’m taking the ACC this time as more of a training session. “It will also be a good stage for me to gauge where I stand. It’ll give me an idea of what and where I need to improve when I return to training.”

Quiet birthday do for Azizul as visa snag delays return to Melbourne

Family time: National cyclist Azizulhasni Awang enjoyed a quiet 25th birthday do with his wife and three-month old baby girl.

PETALING JAYA:
National cyclist Azizulhasni Awang enjoyed a quiet 25th birthday do yesterday as his plan to return to Melbourne for training hangs in the balance. The London Olympic finalist in keirin has yet to receive his student visa and has had to hold off his return to the national cycling team base in Melbourne, under coach John Beasley, since last month. It will be a relatively slow year for Azizul as he will not be competing in the World Track Championships in Belarus next month after failing to gain qualification points in the World Cup legs. Qualification is through the three World Cup legs for the 2012-2013 season in Cali, Colombia, (October); Glasgow (November); and Aguascalientes, Mexico (January). Azizul did not compete in any of the three legs. Azizul also did not earn direct entry through the Asian Cycling Championships as that honour went to Josiah Ng, who won the keirin final in last year’s edition held in Kuala Lumpur in February. And Azizul may give the Asian Cycling Championships in India in March a miss as well if he’s not in the best shape. Azizul has two World Championships silver medals and also won the keirin and sprint titles at the Asian Cycling Championships previously. “That (the Asian Cycling Championships in India) depends on coach John ... if he feels I am still not ready for competition,” said Azizul. “I was supposed to go back to Melbourne last month but I could not get my visa sorted out. “I have no choice but to wait. It’s okay if I have to wait until the later part of the year for the track season to start again as I’ll have more time to prepare. “The Olympic qualification period is only due to start from 2014 and I’ll probably compete in selected Grand Prix races. “For now, I’m just training on the road in Ipoh.” Azizul chose to spend his birthday with his wife Athiah Ilyana Abdul Samad and their three-month old baby girl, Amna Maryam. “This is the first time I am celebrating my birthday as a father. We cooked and ate together at home,” he said.

Azizulhasni Awang early normal routine now before training

Being a father is great.I must admit that my life is changed after Amna Maryam exists in my world.

Every morning,as early as i wake up,Amna Maryam will be my number one thought!

I will kiss her and tell her to be a good daughter .Become a father isnt difficult but  its very difficult to be a father.Why?u need to become a good role model to your children and always showing them a good deed.Other than that, to prove to your kids that as a father , you can make a difference for children around you. They need a lot more than the right information,they need someone they can trust who will give them guidance, be a positive model, and encourage them along the way.

So take action, dad. Help prepare your children for the challenges of life.

Before i started my training,i will make sure to bring my daughter out to see the things surrounding her.Early morning breeze is wonderful.With the nice scenery,sunrise,green,the quality of air are the amazing creations from Allah.Everything that i see,I will let Amna Maryam knows.Everything that i will do,i will explain to her and definitely my duties as a cyclist too.

Before the cycling jersey goes wet ,cuddle your sweetie pie 1st.By doing this everyday,seriously can give me a vast motivational spirit .Who knows this cuttie pie can cycle as fast as her Abbi.Abbi means Daddy in arabic .

As i told earlier in my previous entry,i really like to watch my fishes everyday at the pond.Is that a pond?hahaha ..well from the water feature to be frank ..Thus,bringing my little Amna to see the fishes is one of my recent routines. Introducing her to listen with the nature,s sound .

I will promise to my childrens, that i will be a good father.Will always strive hard for the family and will not put they down .I found this transformation exciting and it seemed like the next logical step in my life.Becoming a dad helps the process of growing up because you are forced to acknowledge that in the eyes of this small being, you are in charge.


Since then,i go to training everyday with the big grin  :D .Syukur !

Something to share =)

What my activities at home while waiting for wife's D-Day

I grew up at Dungun Terengganu.Terengganu,is a place where you can find nice beaches and clear blue river of fisherman village. But ,honestly i never do fishing at my hometown.
But,recently my interest towards FISH is enormous ! Been trying to be a fisherman at Melbourne twice,but disappointing.

Oh well,i think to keep my own fish farm is a good idea huh .Its nearly 30 fishes are down under my humble pond .At first,i just did that for fun.Anyhow,when you see the fishes everyday,from small to big size..it gives kind of indescribable  feeling!Especially at night,when they noticed you approach the pond,they will gather to give respect to me..LOL



Most of the fishes are good to eat.I think by having my own fish farm will actually save my money to buy the fish outside.Well,to be frank, the taste is way better than the one you get at the market.
I have Ikan Patin,Kelah,Talapia etc.Ever wonder if i finished cycling,i will invent my own fish farm with thousand of fishes .Fish comes second now !I cant be apart for so long since im afraid no body will feed my fish!

Other than that,i love to keep Green .I think by looking at green object it makes you tranquil and relax.
Since i used to cycle a lot to Cameron Highlands,i think by not having my own cactus is something missing.So here we go,i have my own now and i hope my wife will accept my craziness towards cactus instead.



I just have 3,but i believe more to come....

Eid Al-Adha Mubarak

Assalammualaikum W.B.T

 Eid al-Adha also called Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival, theGreater Eid and Bakrid, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet ʾIbrāhīm (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismā'īl (Ishmael)a as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead.

Alhamdulillah,after 4 years celebrated Eid abroad,this is the time where i can be with my family for both Eid,Eid Fitri and Eid Adha.As an athlete,time with families is really limited and u will only get a chance once in a million years.Sometimes,i didnt celebrate because there are a lot of tournaments that i have to participate. However,life as an athlete is really short..sacrificing is needed. Alhamdulillah, this year, i can celebrate my Eid Adha with my wife at Malaysia.

Since my wife is 9 months pregnant,I just celebrated my Eid at Ipoh.I can feel the differences.When you celebrated at East Coast and Utara.They still manage to do all those special raya's menu but the celebration is kinda simple compared to Terengganu .But yes,,the place doesnt matter as long we as Muslim,understand the real meaning of Eid al-Adha.

FYI,during the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham's trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat. This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.Furthermore,Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.

As,Eid Al Adha is on Friday, we had our Qurban on Saturday .The duration of sacrifice is three days (10th, 11th and 12th) and two nights (11th and 12th). The 10th of Zul Hijja is the most preferred day of sacrifice, followed by 11th Zul Hijja and then 12th Zul Hijja. The mosque nearby Meru heights had 10 Cows to be slaughtered.

 

So ,our family cow is ready to be slaughtering .The cow is totally ready to meet Allah .

Gotong-royong session with all the Meru's people.Alhamdulillah..Everything is going so well.And the event ended at 12 pm.

Results from the Qurban..I had yummy gear box soup prepared by my wifey!How about you?

Menghitung detik ‘Azizulhasni junior’

BERGELAR ayah di awal usia 24 tahun begitu mengujakan pelumba berbasikal nombor satu negara, Azizulhasni Awang dan dia kini hanya mengira detik kelahiran cahaya mata sulung yang dijangka akan dilahirkan pada bila-bila masa saja.
Bagaimanapun ia menuntut pengorbanan yang tinggi daripada seorang isteri, Athiah Ilyana Abdul Samat yang terpaksa menempuh detik mengandung seorang diri apabila terpaksa melepaskan suami tersayang berjuang di Olimpik. Bagi Athiah atau lebih mesra disapa dengan panggilan Tya berkata, biarpun ada kalanya terdetik rasa rindu dengan mengharapkan Azizul berada di sampingnya agar dapat berkongsi perkembangan bayi mereka bersama, namun dia perlu reda akan perkara itu.

“Mujur teknologi sekarang ini banyak membantu. Saya dan Azizul akan berhubung setiap hari tidak kira di mana dia berada. Dari situ saya akan menceritakan semua perkembangan bayi terutama ketika mula berasa pergerakan sewaktu kandungan di usia enam bulan.
“Jadual Azizul memang padat. Terutama sebelum temasya Olimpik dan ketika itulah detik bayi mula membesar. Semua perkara saya buat sendiri. Nak bercerita ada ketikanya dia tak faham kerana tidak dapat menyaksikannya sendiri. Jadi perasaan itu hanya saya seorang yang dapat rasa. Memang sedih jugalah,” katanya yang memang merancang untuk menimang cahaya mata selepas Olimpik. Namun semua itu terubat sekembalinya Azizul ke pangkuan sejurus selepas tamatnya Olimpik dengan Azizul bijak mengisi masa dengan berkomunikasi lebih kerap dengan bayi.

“Antara detik yang tidak dapat dilupakan adalah ketika kali pertama Azizul berinteraksi bersama bayi. Ketika itu waktu malam. Bila Azizul mula bercakap, bayi dalam kandungan saya mula memberi tindak balas. Ia cukup menggembirakan,” katanya memilih untuk berpantang di kampung halamannya di Ipoh.

Tya bagaimanapun perlu melepaskan Azizul pulang ke Melbourne awal Disember ini kerana tuntutan tugas sebagai atlet perlu diteruskan dan dia hanya kembali ke Australia untuk bersama suami tersayang, awal tahun depan. Ditanya mengenai perancangannya berhubung isu penjagaan anak sekembalinya ke Melbourne, Tya berkata, Azizul memilih untuk menjaga anak mereka sendiri dengan membawanya ke trek.
“Azizul berkata, jika saya bekerja dia sanggup untuk menjaga anak kami dan tidak perlu untuk dihantar ke rumah pengasuh atau taman asuhan kanak-kanak. Katanya, jika Shane Perkins boleh melakukannya dengan membawa anaknya ke trek, jadi dia juga boleh melakukan perkara yang sama.

“Lagi pula Azizul berkata, latihan mereka tidak begitu ketat dan dia yakin boleh melakukan tugas itu,” katanya. Mengulas mengenai persiapan bayi, Tya berkata, semua sudah disediakan dan ada beberapa barang seperti katil bayi hanya dipinjam dari sanak-saudara. Memilih pusat rawatan KPJ Ipoh untuk bersalin dan mengakui hatinya kini semakin berdebar-debar, Tya berharap semuanya akan berjalan lancar dan mengharapkan doa dari rakyat Malaysia untuk kesejahteraannya dan bayi.

Cerita lebaran Ahadiat, Azizulhasni

DIA seorang pelumba yang berdepan debaran dan kepantasan di trek lumba basikal. Seorang lagi 'berlumba' dengan imaginasi dan kata-kata di litar penulisan novel. Double A ini dipertemukan dalam satu sesi fotografi raya bersama selebriti kelas A. Keserasian kimia mereka terjalin sambil berkongsi cerita walaupun berada di lapangan berbeza. Dilihat sebagai selebriti tanah air di lapangan masing-masing, Ahadiat yang sudah berkecimpung dengan dunia penulisan novel sejak tahun 1985 berkongsi kemenangan lebarannya. Begitu juga Azizulhasni yang mencapai kemenangan tersendiri dalam portfolio lumba basikalnya. Beraya di Malaysia Senyum lebar, keterujaan kembali beraya di tanah air sendiri terlukis di wajah pelumba basikal yang mencipta nama di temasya Olimpik 2012 baru-baru ini. "Selepas tiga tahun beraya di Melbourne, Australia saya kembali beraya di Malaysia bersama isteri, Athiah Ilyana Abd. Samat dan keluarga. Insya-Allah isteri saya kini hamil tujuh bulan," ujarnya yang sudah sibuk mencuci rumah dan berkemas untuk menyambut lebaran. Bakal menyambut lebaran di kampung halaman sang isteri di Ipoh, Perak dan kemudian mudik ke kampungnya di Dungun, Terengganu, Azizulhasni mengaku begitu rindukan suasana raya dan bertandang di kampung. Menyentuh tentang raya sebagai sebuah kemenangan, topik signifikan itu ditafsirkan dengan cara Azizulhasni yang tersendiri. "Kemenangan itu adalah selepas kita berpuasa selama sebulan melawan hawa nafsu, lapar dan dahaga. Aidilfitri juga bagi saya adalah penyatuan semua umat Islam sambil bermaaf-maafan," senyum si lelaki yang digelar The Pocketrocketman ini. Daripada segi kerohanian, Azizulhasni bersyukur apabila bakal dikurniakan cahaya mata selepas berkahwin pada 2010. "Semasa menunaikan umrah bersama isteri dan keluarga pada tahun lalu, saya memang berdoa untuk dikurniakan anak selepas saya ke Olimpik. Doa saya makbul dan saya bersyukur. Sekarang semua persediaan raya saya lebihkan untuk isteri dan anak," ucapnya yang sempat memberi barang-barang Olimpik sewaktu di London, Britain baru-baru ini. Menyuntik semangat trek dalam dirinya, Azizulhasni mengaku menganggap basikal adalah separuh daripada dirinya. "Dahulu saya lihat sukan berbasikal ini belum cemerlang. Tetapi sekarang sudah sampai ke peringkat dunia dan saya harap ia akan meningkat. Orang Malaysia juga semakin aktif berbasikal dan ini bagus untuk kesihatan," ujarnya yang memang bercita-cita besar daripada kecil dalam sukan basikal.

Olimpik: Azizulhasni, Fatehah sedia hadapi jaguh dunia di London

1 Ogos 2012 LONDON - Bersaing dengan juara dunia tujuh kali dalam acara pecut dan berdepan pemenang tiga pingat emas dari temasya Beijing bukan penghalang kepada Mohd Azizulhasni Awang untuk mencari emas pertama Malaysia pada Sukan Olimpik London. Pelumba yang digelar 'Thepocketrocketman' itu mengakui lebih selesa bergelar underdog di temasya sukan terbesar dunia ini dan akan memulakan saingan dalam acara pecut 200m individu dan keirin pada Sabtu ini. "Terlalu ramai nama besar dalam acara pecut dan keirin di Olimpik tetapi bukan penghalang kepada saya. Apapun boleh berlaku, apa yang penting, saya fokus untuk memecah kebuntuan pingat," katanya kepada pemberita selepas sesi latihan di Velodrom London yang terletak di Olympic Park, di sini hari ini. Pelumba berusia 24 tahun kelahiran Terengganu itu akan berdepan juara dunia tujuh kali dari Perancis, Gregory Bauge dalam acara pecut 200m individu serta pelumba tuan rumah, Sir Chris Hoy yang juga pemenang tiga pingat emas dari edisi Olimpik Beijing pada 2008, dalam acara keirin. Acara pecut akan bermula dari 4 hingga 6 Ogos sementara Keirin berlangsung sehari kemudian, pada 7 Ogos. Ditanya adakah beliau mendapat rehat yang cukup untuk kedua-dua acara tersebut, Mohd Azizulhasni yang berpangkalan di Melbourne di bawah bimbingan jurulatih kebangsaan, John Beasley, berkata beliau telah bersedia sejak dari Olimpik Beijing lagi. "Saya layak secara merit dalam kedua-dua acara dan merupakan acara kepakaran saya," katanya. Di Beijing, empat tahun lepas, cabaran Mohd Azizulhasni tersekat di peringkat separuh akhir acara keirin dengan menduduki tempat kesembilan sementara dalam acara pecut 200m individu, di tangga kelapan. Bagi pelumba wanita negara, Fatehah Mustafa yang akan beraksi dalam acara keirin wanita meletakkan sasaran peribadi yang tinggi, untuk berada di peringkat akhir acara tersebut. Pelumba berusia 23 tahun dari Terengganu itu dengan pencapaian terbaik menduduki tempat kelima Kejohanan Dunia di Belanda pada tahun lepas juga merupakan pemenang pingat emas dalam acara keirin pada Kejuaraan Lumba Basikal Asia (ACC) 2012 di Velodrom Kuala Lumpur, Cheras pada Februari. Dia memenangi emas itu dengan masa 11.672 saat dan memperbaiki catatan tersebut, sekaligus menjadi rekod peribadi terbaiknya dengan catatan 11.04 saat yang dilakukannya di Kejohanan Dunia di Melbourne, Australia pada April. Mengenai saingannya di sini, Fatehah mengakui bersaing dengan pelumba yang menduduki ranking terbaik dunia memaksa dirinya lebih gigih berusaha untuk menjadi setaraf mereka. - Bernama

"Size dosent matter!As long you have your aim and determination"Azizul Awang

From London Olympic Athlete Village,
Azizul Awang

CYCLING: Azizul raring to go

AZIZULHASNI Awang is, barring a bandaged right arm, as fit and ready as he could be for his bid to create history in the London Olympics. Only lacerations on the arm remain from the training accident he suffered last week and team manager Datuk Naim Mohamed said the 2010 Asian Games keirin gold medallist has a confident look about him. "We all know that the Olympics are not easy but self-confidence is very crucial and I am happy to say that Azizul has this in abundance," said Naim at the Games Village yesterday. With Malaysia's road challenge, as expected, fizzling out, all eyes are on Azizul as he has proved that he can match the world's best by winning the keirin silver at the 2011 World Championships. His performances in the World Cup have also been inspiring but that was all before he suffered the horrific injury last when a wood pierced his calf. That virtually ended his 2011 season but Naim said Azizul has forgotten that injury and even last week's crash didn't affect him. "We were afraid that the crash would not only hamper his training but also have a psychological effect on him but he has proved that he is not going to allow minor issues from jeopardising his challenge." Naim said coach John Beasley has started to taper Azizul and Fatehah Mustapha's training as it is a matter of fine-tuning now. "They have trained hard and now it is all about the competition. Fatehah, too, looks good after initially feeling a little overwhelmed with the thought of competing in the Olympics." The Malaysian team now await the respective draws as they will be crucial in deciding the gameplan of the riders. "The draw for an event is normally made a day before and who Azizul and Fatehah are drawn with will determine what strategy has to be employed. Azizul, however, doesn't have to worry about drawing the big guns in the first round as his ranking is high," added Naim. The keirin, Azizul's targeted event, has 18 riders who will be split into three groups in the first round. The top two from each heat will advance to the semi-finals while the remaining 12 will be involved in two repechages to determine the next six. The top three for each of the two semi-final heats will advance to the final with the losing six going for the 7-12 playoffs. Fatehah will be first in action as the women's keirin is on Friday while Azizul's campaign will start with the sprint on Saturday, an event which will be contested over three days. "There are some who feel that Azizul shouldn't take the sprint seriously but Britain's Chris Hoy participated in three events in the Beijing Games and won all three. This is a decision which Azizul and Beasley will make." The keirin will be on Aug 7, with the final scheduled for 12.50am the following day in Malaysia and if he does make the final, Azizul knows that the whole nation will stay up.

Sedia julang PocketROKETMAN

LONDON - Saya sudah bersedia untuk mengembalikan sentuhan The PocketROKETMAN, ujar pelumba sensasi lumba basikal trek negara Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang ketika diajukan soalan sejauh mana persiapan untuk menghadapi Sukan Olimpik London 2012, semalam. Selepas sekian lama menyepikan diri ekoran daripada beberapa insiden kemalangan sehingga menimbulkan pelbagai spekulasi daripada peminat, Azizulhasni sebenarnya ada alasan tersendiri. ''Saya dirancang untuk mencapai kemuncak (peak) pada Sukan Olimpik 2012. Jurulatih John Beasley meminta saya jangan terlalu cepat untuk sampai kemuncak kerana kejohanan besar yang menanti adalah Olimpik," katanya yang mengakui keyakinannya semakin memuncak walaupun dihambat kecederaan terbaru apabila terjatuh dalam satu kejohanan di Koln, Jerman antara perlumbaan yang disertainya untuk persiapan ke Olimpik. Menurut Azizulhasni, percaturan yang dibuat Beasley kena pada waktunya kerana dia sendiri dapat merasai tahap persembahannya mengikut seperti yang dirancang. Kemalangan terbaru yang dialaminya mencetuskan kebimbangan kerana ia hampir mengulangi peristiwa hitam Februari 2011 apabila serpihan trek sepanjang 20 sentimeter tertusuk di betis kiri Azizulhasni ketika menyertai Siri Piala Dunia Klasik di Manchester. ''Saya jatuh sikit sahaja. Alhamdulillah tidak serius. Saya tidak ada apa-apa," jelasnya. Jelas Azizulhasni lagi, untuk Olimpik kali ini, dia akan memikul dua tugas besar berlumba dalam acara keirin dan pecut seperti diputuskan walaupun mengikut perancangan awal Josiah Ng diberi peluang berlumba acara keirin. ''Mungkin nasib saya lebih baik apabila terpilih untuk menyertai dua acara ini. Saya juga berterima kasih kepada Josiah yang memberikan sokongan dan mahu membantu saya merealisasikan harapan untuk memburu pingat emas buat negara. Dia bersikap profesional walaupun satu ketika kami terpaksa bersaing untuk mendapatkan tempat. Saya tidak ada masalah untuk memikul dua tugas besar ini kerana saya sudah bersedia sepenuhnya," katanya. Namun Azizulhasni tidak mahu memandang rendah keupayaan lawannya yang lain terutama penyandang emas Beijing 2008, Chris Hoy dan beberapa lagi pelumba dari Jerman, Perancis begitu juga Jepun yang semakin meningkat. Ditanya apakah dia akan meneruskan gaya kayuhan yang sering menjadikan dia menjadi mangsa amaran komisar, Azizulhasni berkata, cara kayuhannya tidak menyalahi peraturan, malah Hoy juga mengikut caranya yang gemar menyelit apabila mendapat peluang ketika berlumba pada Piala Dunia di Melbourne sebelum ini. ''Hanya satu pinta saya, doakan kejayaan saya kerana harapan saya dari awal-awal lagi mahu bawa pulang pingat emas bukan untuk diri sendiri tetapi untuk rakyat Malaysia dan Persatuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia dan peminat. - UTUSAN

Olympic Jersey by Bicycle Line, Italy

As everyone knows, Olympic Games are the biggest event in every 4 years. Everybody has their own aim and the aim is only one to bring the medal to the country. I have been chosen to represent my country, Malaysia and that is a huge responsibility   for me.
