Relay for Life 2009

More Photos of Starbucks In RELAY FOR LIFE 2009. XD n I thought Starbucks was a work work n work company.

The Relay for Life held at MSN in Bukit Jalil was a spectacular event, helping the audience be more aware of cancer and also to allow them to help support the cancer society. Companies like PLUS highway, Starbucks and a lot others participated along to show their sincere support. Me and another 4 from my store joined in along with the other Starbucks partners to show out support.

At MSN, tents were everywhere on the sides of the running track, allowing the participants to rest as they stayed the night there. In the centre, canopies were up for booths of companies for selling merchandise. up on the pavement tables were set up for food selling. Everything paid goes for donation. Other than that, paper bags with pictures drawn on top by the supporters and participants were filled with a lil bit of sand and a candle inside, and then placed on the inner ring of the 400 meters track. It was a beautiful sight, for at the strock of 8pm, all lights were off except the canopies and food stations, and the candles were lit, showing a bright ring of light.

People were walking non stop on the track. There was also a stage built, for performances of singing and dancing and also mini competitions such as our Miss Beauty Pageant for males. Guys were to dress up as girls and take part. O.o Starbucks partners gathered up to take walks around as well to show support. We were cheered on by people. Some were even asking for free coffee=.=

Every now and then, we would take long rests by the tents. Of all baristas, my store was the only group that spend all night talking crap and laughing and not sleepin at all. In the night, there was aerobics. In the morning, there were dances, Qi Gong, Yoga, and also the all known Chicken Dance^^

All the way from 6pm, we stayed up till 10am. Alvin came late after work. Reaching here at almost 3am, he looked as dead as the people that were still holding on n not sleeping. Other than that, by 3-4am, people will be seen sleeping almost everywhere in MSN, cept the track that is, cleared for the people still jogging and walking on and off. There were people sleeping inside tents, outside tents, on the tables, on the grass, on landing mats for athletes, EVERYWHERE! "I see heaps of dead people=.=" that's what I kept telling myself.

As I reached home, I was as sticky as ever. And of all times, the worst happens, my house has no water supply. What is wrong with the world.

DG071's BBQ Party

Finally in our final year, DG071 students are hosting a BBQ party at Arthur's XD. Most of us showed up. When I reached, some guys were trying to start the fire for the bbqing.

Apparently, we didn't get any fire starter and there were non in the area for sale. So it took us like 6-8 fellas fanning the thing... GHau and I cant remember but other 2 guys started dancing "worship around the BBQ" with their fanning techniques=.= It was damn funny but too bad, the photo if not mistaken is with

Lennard.

As the fire started, everyone cept I went to heat their food^^ Heat rash was getting worse to I called it quits to sweat anymore for the day. Another reason for somebody that I was ignorin for the week was burning stuff there.

Anyway, it was fun to have meet Nisa again after a few weeks of not seeing her, I think=.=. Plus, Lennard, Mandy and Allan were very caring to me (thx^^).

1st round, EAT! Then.. All rushed in for Aircon and Gaming. All of us played VS on Street Fighter 4=.= Nex, Round 2, EAT! The others did, I didn't, yet again. I heard that they were all talking bout ghost stories outside. When they came back in, I think cz somebody was scarified by some guys in the group.. Heh heh.

Anyway, bee kept on calling me cz he was worried Damn lot when he heard we all drank Red Wine. I did get a bit hot in the stomach n dizzy in the head. But minutes later I was fine again.

At 2am, It was time to leave. Everyone went home.
