I Survivied!!!!

I made it!!! All 7 long Kilometres!!!!

Finally, the dreaded day arrived. Me and Yih Hon woke up at 5.00am , had a small breakfast and then headed to Fu Sheng's house. Then we slowly made our way to Dataran Merdeka where the big event was held.

Actually, by the time we woke up, the real marathon runners had already started their 42Km run. All the day from Dataran Merdeka to the Federal Highway to the Sungai Besi highway around town and then back to the Start-Finish line. Well, I don't think I can go for the 42km run, the most I can go to this 10km.

Anyways, there was SO MANY PEOPLE there!! It was like a gigantic sea of blue people. And just before the run started , me, Yih Hon, Keen Wai and Su (Is that how you spell his name?) were discussing on how to cheat during the race. People get creative when they are all excited.

Plan 1 :
Start running, and fake your sweat by putting water. Then Hide somewhere and wait for the other runners. Since the finishing line is also the same place as the starting line, we come out of hiding place and join the finishing runners at the last stretch. And also remember to pretend to be very tired by wiping sweat of our faces and tearing some small holes in our T-shirts too.

Problem :
Jason told us that usually in the marathon, there will be police following the faster runners. So, we can't simply jump in because the police will catch us.

Solution (Not my idea):
Dress up as a police man and ride their motorbikes. Then before the finishing line, do the superman thing which is tearing off your police man disguise and start running.



Plan 2 :
Tie a big mac to a string which is then held onto your head like this:

Our natural instinc for Big Macs will keep us going forward

Problem 1 :

Forward only. How to Turn?

Problem 2 :

We're not animals you know (as reminded by Su)!!We've got hands *Gasp*. The Shocking Truth!!!!And with these hands, we can grab the burger!!!!

Solution :

Tie the Big Big Mac on another persons head so we can't grab the big mac and hope the guy turns in the right direction. And pray that the guy won't notice the burger dangling from his head.

During the race, there was this funny incident.

Around 10 minutes into the run, there was this young guy running. Suddenly, he took out his handphone and called his friend

Young guy: Lei heong bin dou arr? Ngo yi ka heong BP Station gor dou (Where are you? I'm near the BP Station)

then after a while

Young guy : #%^*&^%%#!!!!! Gam fai gehhhh..Ngo yi ga lei! *then starts cursing again* ( #*%&&*@^!!!!! So fast wan?? I'm coming now!!!)

And he was cursing so loud that everyone around him was looking

*Young guy starts sprinting like a hungry boy who hasn't had food for 3 days chasing a Big Mac as if his life depended on it*

Barely 5 minutes later,

The young guy was walking slowly panting for air. And of course I overtook him..

I can just imagine his next phone call with his friend.

Young guy : Mmm tak la, Mmm tak la! Ngor Hou gui , mou hei ...Buehhh Tahan Jorr *starts to curse again* ( Cannot la , I'm very tired and breathless..Can't tahan already)

In the end, all of us (me, Fu Sheng and Friens, Yih Hon, Keen Wai, Su and my dad) managed to finish the run !!! Yeahhhh, most of us (myself included) finished the run in slightly less than an hour.

Aaaaaaa, I was so hungry after that. I had :

1. 3 cups of 100 plus
2. 2 cups of water
3. 2 cups of Milo
4. 1 cup of cereal
5. 1 protein bar
6. Later on 1 teh o ais limau
7. And 1 nasi lemak

You know what they say, what goes out must come back in. We put back all the fat we burnt in that hour in a few minutes

So satisfied now!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can't wait for the next run!!!
