Wonderful Sunday.. TheRace Semi-final

Okay..Updating 3 days event in 1 day is tiring.. :-D

Well, I was on time for the semi final day :)
Had McD's breakfast after the set up though :)

For the semi final, the obstacle course was something like martial arts, where opponents have to hit each other 5 times within 3 minutes with a 'soft stick'. 3 match for 2 teams to compete.

For the 2nd elimination round, we eliminated 28 teams from the total of 56 teams that were qualified from the 1st elimination round.
For the semi final, we chose 14 finalists from the 28 teams.
Since there's another space for the finalists as we had allocated 15 finalists, the best of the losers of the semi final.

The game was fun! Awesome! and PAINFUL!!
As they are supposed to hit their opponent, all of us were able to the from the contestants' eyes saying "I want to kill you! I hate you! Must hit and kill you!" The expression from their eyes, not face tells us all.
Some of the contestant hit so hard that their opponent got bruises, bleed etc.
Scary, but cool and fun!!
Unforgettable day.

Halfway through the event, I was supposed to go to the 'mamak' near college to collect the food for crew, which is fried rice.
It was raining heavily when i walked to my car which is quite far from college.
Although I had my umbrella, the rain was too heavy, that I was all wet, especially my shoes..all WET!!
Worst thing is that, after collecting the food, it was drizzling.
The rain fooled me :(

Back to TheRace..
15 finalists were chosen already, and their race will start on 2nd October at 9.00a.m. from TCHT and end of 3rd October at unknown time at Sunway Lagoon!!!
Good luck to all the 15 finalists!!

Oh, btw, as the 15 finalists were chosen, they are the best of the best teams, and they are STRONG!! As 1 of the team marshals who will follow the contestants throughout their race, woohoo!!!!! I'm so excited!!! Hahhaha...

Anyway, here's some pictures..

The day ended at about 5.00p.m.
Well, lets wish every one of them all the best!

Owh, I'm uploading videos on my facebook, but the connection's really bad.
And not forgetting pictures too!

Wonderful Saturday.. TheRace 1st Elimination round

As the title said, yes!! My group's event TheRace's elimination round was on Saturday, 26th September 2009.
As '99%' of the contestants are to arrive at 9.00a.m., all the crews are to set up the elimination round obstacle course before 9.00a.m.
Therefore, all crews were reminded on Friday to arrive at college at 6.30a.m. to set up the obstacle courses. Well, I was about 5 minutes late? Heheh..cz i only left the house at 6.05a.m.

Although set up was kind of messy, but we made it at last at 8.30a.m.

First obstacle course:
3 legged race - RUN - Wheelbarrow - RUN - Balancing a bottle of water on a beverage tray - RUN - Piggy back - RUN - Water balloons - RUN - Crawl up the down the stairs - RUN - Find your way through the maze - RUN - RUN up the stairs from G floor to 2nd floor - RUN - Crawl below a stick - RUN -RUN down the stairs to G floor - END!!

Second obstacle course:
Go through 14 tyres - Dunk a ball - Go through a skipping rope - Leap frog - "Mario's (crew) hometown game (getting a pen into a bottle without looking, directed by another team mate) - END!!

Well, during the elimination round, I was the station master for the tyres. I thought it would be easy, BUT...I kinda would have heart attack because some of the contestants fell, shoes came off and all.
Some contestants' feet are huge, they kinda have problem, and trip on the tyres.
Looking at their feet kinda twisted here and there is OWH!!!!!! Hahah..

TheRace's Crews are having a tour on the obstacle course. This is the maze.

This is the "Mario's hometown game". Team work is needed!!

We, the crews of TheRace were dismissed at 5.00p.m., and I headed to my uncle's house in OUG as dinner would be there.
Only got back to Kajang home at 12.30a.m. again.
And the next day, it's 7.00a.m. for the 2nd elimination round.

p/s: More photos to be uploaded in Facebook :) Thank you!

Wonderful Friday..

Again, I don't really know how to start because too many events happened from Friday till Sunday..

I'll make it as short as possible, if I'm able to :)

Well, Friday morning, all the H.O.D.s and Asst of TheRace hold a meeting from 11a.m. till 1p.m., den all crews meeting from 1.30p.m. till 2.30p.m.
Then!! Logistics!! Jaya, Robin and me had to go to S.M.S.U. to get the netball hoop and also other equipments.
Sitting in the lorry was terrible as there were for people in the lorry, and the space was so small. Had to squeeze ourselves so much, where Robin sat like a girl then..

After that, badminton session with Dennis, Valerie, Max, and Phei Ching. Fun though. Phei Ching and me wanted to exercise more as we're the team marshals for TheRace finale..
Then!! Had dinner with them also. Ipoh chicken rice was cool :-D

Then!! Went home, and rushed to Azaad's house with Angeline and Jessie to meet up with Azaad, Adib, Geetha, Hannah, Neo, Kartene, and Christine.
We chatted and played some games, and it all lasted till about 12 midnight for me.. Only got home at about 12.30a.m. and yea, my mom nagged me because I have to reach at college by 6.30a.m. on Saturday, and I'm home so late.

but Hey!! It was fun okay, the gathering with my high school classmates!!

Next post is for the Elimination rounds of TheRace!!

Tough time

My dissertation is giving me a really tough time..

I need someone to support me
I need someone to push me
I need someone to accompany me
I need someone to lend his shoulder to me
I need to concentrate on my dissertation....
I need to get him out of my mind!

I got to be strong!
Stronger than I am now!

"Close the book and start again..." Lift, by Shannon Noll

Why is it so difficult to close 'this book'?

Complicated?

I'm on holidays for 2 weeks...

Ask me out! Ask me out!
LOL...

Why nobody ask me out for a date one? Hmmm??...

Trying to forget the past,
Trying to move on,
Trying to be happy,
Trying to be cheerful,
Trying to know more people,
Trying to get closer with them,
Trying to get him out of my mind.....

But I couldn't...
Kept telling myself to just let things be,
and it will be gone some day..

One day, it'll fade,
One day, I'll really move on,
One day, I'll be looking back,
It's the memories already now,
That I'm still thinking of..
That cannot turn to reality anymore..

But...

The feelings have not faded,
Neither did i move on.


"Never hope too much..just let it be.."
That's what I've been reminding myself constantly.
But I always hope, and hope, and hope.....

Interruption..

It's been a long time since I last blog.
And I don't even know where to start.
Should I blog about my event? My life? My studies?

Well, let's talk about my event.

TheRace Taylors... sounded good, sounded very 'big', promoted to a lot of people, but the responds from them were bad..as in really bad.

TheRace Taylors is actually organized by me and my group mates (Degree in Hotel Management final sem) as it is required by one of the subjects that we're taking.
We can either organize a forum, competition, or an exhibition.
But we chose competition, and came out with something that's similar to Amazing Race.
The routes, activities, obstacle courses were all organized quite well I would say.
The marketing, PR, and everything else was quite well too.
Been through tough times and all though..
But some people just like to interrupt our event.

Eventually, from the beginning of our event, we wanted the participants to be students from any colleges.
BUT, some people said no, and so, we would have to only concentrate on TAYLORIANS and include high school KIDS as well, and BRING FORWARD the event.
Having few road shows for 3 weeks in all of the Taylor's campuses made us realised that Taylorians are not very into this event although the activities involved and the prizes to be given out is superb. Hey! The activities that 1 need to go through cost about RM300! And some of it, they might not have tried it before. But still, they're not interested.

Well, the dateline for participants to sign up is 23rd September 2009, and only 2/3 weeks before the dateline, we open to students from other colleges and high school
There are some who are interested and some are not.
Some people are just very 'cocky' even when we're distributing the flyers. Annoying!!
This happened in one of the Taylor's campus that we went..GRRRRR...
Some just say yes and well, no reply from them.

Well, everything's too late now.
The contestants, and suppporters..
And there's no back up plan.
And elimination round is on 26th and 27th September.

My wish for now is to get my friends and other strangers to respond to TheRace.
Next post..
Well, let's promote for TheRace although I know not many people is reading it.

Below are some pictures taken on Thursday.
Well, we were preparing the package to be given out to the contestant.

First step: PC Gamer Magazines

We are to prepare 280 contestant kits. This is less than half of it i think..

2nd step: Brochures & flyers from various sponsors
3rd step: Goodies from Rexona, Shokubutsu, and Fresh n White.

4th step: TheRace wrist band and air sticks
5th & 6th step: Goodies from Freeman and Body Shop

7th step: Arranging and counting the contestant kit. T-shirt not included yet.

Contestant Kits!! And some of the crew members..

Some of the people involved in the packaging

It was a fun and tiring day coz some of us had presentation at 9.00a.m., then class till 12.30p.m.
Then, distributed some flyers to other colleges, and back to college for the packagin.
I myself reached home at 10.00p.m., after having 'bak kut teh' with some of my classmates.
It's fun because there's team work. We did everything together, laughed and joked around.
