holiday-ing

oh..no i shouldn't be here...but i am here right now~instead of doing research on unit3 (which i suppose to), i am here, blogging, googling nonsensical and unrelated subjects, facebook-ing, downlaoding videos and crapping on MSN..gosh..these should be the last thing i wished to do, but i cant deny the inertia- Heroes3, Gossip girl2, Chuck, How i Met your Mother, One Tree Hill...etc.i cant stop but addicted to them..i am pretty sure my eyes are strained and really do need a break now..all in all, i have just been slacking too much during the sem break so far..sigh!

i could hardly figure out why, but i did sign up for Relay for Life which is held in Bukit Jalil two days ago..some may say it would be a wiser decision to just stay at home and enjoy my holidays rather than travelling all the way back to SA to be a volunteer worker...anyway it was great and no regret joining..

we set off from SA at about 1pm..the journey to that stadium took us about one hour plus..we were the first student volunteer team to reach there...
to avoid a long-winded post...let me just sum things up..the whole night was indeed fabulous and meaningful..there were 5000-odd people who took part in the Relay For Life (RFL)..activities held include games, competitions and races. not to forget the "blackout session" held in remembrance of those who died of cancer. it was rather a touching session where family member's or friends of those died of cancer shared theirs thoughts and feelings with the public; their words give hope and encouragement to cancer patients to strive for survival. on top of that, the most significant activity was the 16-hours marathon walk which was participated by cancer survivors, the public, college students, celebrities, ambassadors from foreign countries...etc.a substantial amount of money was raised from the event and it would be channeled towards upgrading National Cancer Society of Malaysia.
apart from that i want to specially applause for a group of students from the Monash university. not everyone could have done what they did- they shaved their head bald and managed to raise rm 40,000! again, my standing ovation for them!
as it was a 16-hour walk, the event spanned through the whole night.."fortunately", i managed to sleep for at least an hour!
in a nutshell, it was a worthwhile experience.

p/s- the food sold was nice!
