A day Spent as Volunteer in the Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011

On saturday night, which is on the 20th of Nov

me n my bunch of college mates 

meet up in Queensbay Mall

we went for dinner in the food court at the top level

then, we meet up the crew and get change to the T-shirts provided

and start helping out

all the tasks given were easy

but to people like us who only exercise once a year 

it is a hard core one

LoL

the first thing we do is moving boxes of mineral water to other tents.

and that got my muscle pain til now

we walk here and there

do bit here n do bit there

til 2stg when the Full Marathon starts

all we have to do is to make human barrier

to prevent the runners from stepping on the running map on the floor

which might accidentally scanned by the device 

then, when the runners are about to come back, 

 we have to lead those runners to the correct track 

so that correct medals and t-shirts with Position stated are given correctly

and what is worst is we got the first runner run into the wrong lane

wahahahahha

not my fault, but those Kenya people do not understand my words. 

me and eeteng stand a few metres away from the finishing line

so that the runners could hear us and get into the right lane at the first time 

and that makes a good result

most of them hear us 

all i can remember is 

i keep saying 

:Full Marathon to the Left please & Half marathon to the right please 

i repeated that phrase for more than 100times in 2 hours 

and yeah, in the middle of the night 

all of us are so energetic before that 

but after the screaming part 

and clapping for hours 

everyone's move slows down and 

some even seek for help 

asking other groups to replace us 

then we sit at the roadside 

look at the runners coming back 

they're like flowing water

unstoppable coming back 

*it'd be nice if those runners coming back were cash*

 $$$$$$ 

then .... 

we have a nap 

behind the racks where their bags are kept 

til 9something 

we have got less job to do 

all i can see is 

all of the crews (not only us)

sleep wherever and whenever they can 

but one great thing is 

im able to stay awake all night looooong !!

til 9something only i take a nappy

LOL. 

but once i got back 

:)))) 

do nothing but sleep the whole day

it's the best day ever! 

but one last thing which comfort me the most is 

I GET PAID ! :D 

not much but at least it motivates me. 

LOL

here are some pics taken :D
