*Fast forward* race started ard 6am. at least i got a nap for a good 20min ,settling for the cartons of boxes as my bed, so i wasnt so cranky. Plus it was a runnning event, so it got me rather excited! my friends & i got stationed to 5 tables altogether & we were in charge of the drinks there. Stupid thing was, the water came from 500ml bottles so we had to keep opening the small bottles to refill >_< (my palm skin got rough because of it!:( ) we waited till 6.38am before a flock of sheeps, opps i mean skinny, kenyan+ india+ethiopia skinny men started running together! (ok, they were all black so i dunno where they're from) soooo exciting! I was seeing real olympic runners running! cool shit! i mean, its like a runner's dream come true. lol, another good thing abt being a volunteer is that you get to see lean, washed up 6 pack bods passing by every few seconds. *HEAVEN* there was a rare case of 1-2 good-looking guys among the hot bods & that nearly made my day. but wat was ugly was that the runners kept streaming in n grabbing (im serious) cups from my group's table! haha, i think we attracted lots of runners la, cos our b'ness was booming (if i had charged my drinks, i'd be rich!) while the other volunteers were just stoning n waiting for ppl to get their drinks. My team & i had to keep refilling, working our arses off like as though we were bartenders giving free champange. U get the picture. it was a mad rush for us 4.soon, riyan's table was flooded cos we just didnt bother abt spilling the water & it flooded & even i got wet from the flood & also the splash made by runners sprinting past our drinks stations. it was hell of a duty but well, it was a good experience n there were some really polite runners who said " thank you volunteers" like really sincerely, cos maybe they're just politely or really in need of water that badly :S
so we ended duty @ 10 +, cleaned up & reached padang ard 1+. saw zhiyong,pantat & kevan doing cip selling roses for world aids day. poor people, being under the scorching hot sun & promoting roses. Not a very good way of cip i'd say! Haha, of course,being opportunists, stupid pantat & kevan bugged me to buy the rose for $2-_-" even tapestry has more worth it merchandises. ok, so i bought it out of pity for them & not really the aids patients cos i'd reckon the money wont really go to like south africa & all.yeap , so i got a hell of an experience + $20 +20% off adidas apparrels + 12hr CIP. super worth it!:D
TJC Music Fest.29/11/07
I shall update on this as it was supposed to be another highlight event for this week. note that, SUPPOSED to be. i dragged jas & hariz along for this, thinking it'd be a gig concert cos aishy made it sound like it & butterfly was performing, so i thought i'd support e dudes. i was rather looking forward to it cos its been a while since i went to a gig(Last was Exile :X Loong ago mann) so i was dressed in a simple top, pants & slippers cos well, who bothers dressing up for a gig? i was prepared for some handcore ,nice rock,live bands. So when hariz,jas & i reached tj, it was pitched black, as though there wasnt a soul in there & it definitely didnt look like there was an event, much more a gig going on! we came late,thanks to little miss lates(jas & i) & got in time to nearly enter at the same time as the vip! haha. wait..we are the VIP :D
the concert started off with some girl singing some ballads, i was already numb, already the venue was an auditorium, i mean who have gigs in a nice aircon place where everyone got to sit @ lecture seats.. i had a bad feeling abt the concert & yes, it turned out to be some charity event. *BIG YAWN * ok, so i wasnt in my most polite behaviour,smsing ppl & yw who was complaining abt the equipment. HOHO, i dare say THING MUSIC THING WAS A HELL MUCH BETTER !:D:D dont worry my 5th SC, we did a G-R-E-A-T job at it!lol, seriously, i was only there to watch butterfly!& i found out they were the only rock show,i nearly burst in tears of boredom. so yea, butterfly didnt do as good job but the audience, we rocked! haha, ok ,i was bursting with energy so yea, all the mj ppl stood up & clapped for butterfly!:)) but i have to say the equipment given kinda suck. I mean, they were given guitar & bass amps (those used for jamming, how ridiculous) i could barely hear the guitar cos the drums drowned the whole music. Sad case, fadly's mike was too soft too. :X sad case, butterfly should be thankful that nani & i for got good equipment for that music thing auditions & That Music Thing itself. yeap, ok, i gotta say some performances were good,the njc acapella & the beatboxing by ryan & melvin. Yeap, thats abt it, finale was ermm.. retarded with everyone having to sing to High School musical "we're all in this together" -_-" how... appropriate. lol, ok, sorry if im overly critical but mayb i expected a gig to happen that's y. No offence to the organisers, i was just looking forward to let my hair down after OGL camp. hoho.
oh my , its gonna be a looong entry but i gtg get ready to meet girlfriend! opps, i mean my fiance jas!:D
