Being a Volunteer

Loving this photo. natural enough! :)) You smile, I smile.

Last weekend was a meaningful one. Continuous volunteering for charity event. There is a important point of volunteering, which is what you hope to gain throughout the event. Such as gain experience, learn some knowledge, help the underprivileged child and adults or merely spending your weekend?

As usual like most of the youngster, surfing facebook and saw a post by Heap Hope Angel, searching for volunteer for Ice Cream 4 U (IC4U) Charity Concert. After asking 2 of my friends, we were so excited to register for it. During the Saturday, we all try to reach on time at 2pm as they request. We reached around 2.15pm after our lunch and thought of we were late. When we arrive at 15th floor Kenanga Wholesales City Mall, the committee just asked us to sit aside to wait. After half and hour, we were kinda impatient and went down to the mall to shop around. After another half to 45 minutes, we rushed back as we scare they had started the job. But, they ask us to sit aside again. and we waited for few more hours for briefing, and ask us to wait for dinner and ask us to wait for standby. HELLO, from 2pm wait until 7pm. Do you think we were really as free as you think? We were willingly to help out as we thought of you may lack of staffs or helpers. Kinda disappointed towards this event. As an event student, i really hope to gain so experience or learn something. As a volunteer, i really hope to help some underprivileged people and not wasting my time sitting there with my phone. However, after ushering guest to their seats, we went back without wait till the end. I just hope they can really understand out situation. 

What i gained from this charity concert was knowing new friends and gained from their cons. 

On the Sunday, i had promised Danny to help out for Special needs adults and child's drawing contest. The theme was Rainbow In My Heart which hold at Segi University College, Kota Damansara. It was a nice experience there as i would appreciate my life more. Some of them were active and friendly. Somehow i salute them. Some of them can really concentrate well and drew a nice picture. I had helped them to sharpen their color pencils and fulfill their needs. A good experience.

 

Meaningful weekend :))

Run, Because We Can

What a busy week ahead. 

Last weekend, 29 -30 Sept. I believe it was a good FengShui day where many pairs of couple get married. At least i had attended two wedding. One was my cousin brother and another one was partner's sister. 

Just put these wedding aside and will re update when photos are uploaded.

After attending the wedding dinner on the Saturday night and took care of a few drunkards, i overnight at friend's house to be ready for next day Marathon! I had joined PJ Half Marathon Women's Open 7km. It was a tiring day and have to wake up early around 5.15am and marathon will be flag off at 6am. Suppose to be arrive punctually but it had some road blocked for the marathon and i am late for that. However, i am still able to join as registration was not required. 

Back to the Stadium Kelana Jaya!! a memorable stadium which high school sport's day used to held there, stadium which i represent high school for a few running. Used to jump here and there, knowing new friends around the stadium. <3 

After running for around 15 minutes, my stomach started to ache as it was my first day of period. I felt so dizzy and thought of give up. but after  few minutes later everything goes well and i continue the journey. Felt so fresh and young when running. Exhausted also on the half way but 100 plus is provided. ;) I could not keep myself running all the way like what i did in gym. FAIL. However, i try to set target like pass through the orange shirt, the yellow shirt or something like this and speed when get into the stadium to reach the finishing line. I thought i will not have to chance to get the medal because there are really MANY people participate in. Finally, this is the first medal i get for Women's Open Marathon. :)

This is the first marathon i joined with beloved degree friends who all successfully finish 7km of running.

Proud of ourself. :))  WE DID IT.

Addicted to it and hope we are joining another one anytime soon. (:

Cheers (:
