Terry Fox Run

It was a rather great Sunday, in fact. First, the day lasted extremely longer than usual because I got up at 6.30am. By 10.30am, I had finished my bit for charity - the Terry Fox Run. KF, Dennis and me went along with our RM25 each t-shirts, in support of cancer research.

My first impression when we arrived at Lake Gardens - wah, so many ang moh's in KL wan worr!! And they're built bigger and taller than us, with many adorable-looking kids.

But that's beside the point. I'm not a fan of marathons / runs because there's a time limit. But for this run, no. We could run or walk or cycle or otherwise "propel" ourselves along the route. Some kids came in tricycles, some roller-bladed, and some merely rode on their fathers' broad shoulders.

These pictures taken by Lensamalaysia impressively depict the rather wonderful event I was glad to be a part of, albeit the headache that puteri lilin me ended the day with due to the heat :P

The kid on the tricycle nearly injured himself when he zoomed downhill screaming coz he cldnt stop. A man ahead managed to grab him by his hand and lifted him off the speeding tricycle. Think the guardian came running upwards to him 5min later.

Really? The kid in the tricycle passed in the first few minutes of the run. No wonder by the time we came to the slope, there were so many personnel there yelling for all kids on their various "vehicles" to "slow down, slow down!". Was amply glad there were no uphill slopes :)
