! Malaysia ! Murid ! Sukan Run

2 July 2011 was the day of the 1Murid, 1Sukan, 1Malaysia Run. I woke up really early on that day to get myself prepared for the big day. Well, attendance was COMPULSORY. Poor parents, sister and me had to sacrifice our slumber just for this activity... :-o

Those from my school were required to wear blue and white ribbons as an identity for TMGS students. (Blue and white are the colors symbolizing my school.) 

The pictures below show just how early we were in school. That was a golden experience for me to shoot some pictures at the break of dawn..

We walk to the right and we walk to the left, and we walked, and we walked, and we walked all night... (Hey, Sharon, have you got the time wrong?) 



Sarasvaathey and Keerthana

Long way to go. Actually, The Esplanade was just a stone's throw away from my school.

At Esplanade.

Well, I could hardly see anything in front...

Daybreak! There was a sea of eager students and onlooking teachers, waiting to start the run. Well, it was actually a walk as there were more than 15,000 students. How was it possible to RUN?

My friends filled with high spirits..

Go, go TREACHERIANS!!!

T-M-G-S

The opening ceremony... Balloons were released all over the clear, blue sky.






Freaking-crowded road

Treacherians GO!

We have many slogans made to lift up the spirits of fellow Treacherians... Among them are:
  • La (x14) Treacherians gonna walk on the road.. (Adapted from Jennifer Lopez's "On The Floor")
  • (From Spongebob Squarepants) T-M-G-S- (x3)
  • Treacherians, Unstoppable!
  • Go, Treacher, Go!
Treacherians, UNSTOPPABLE!!!


In the spirit of the Treacherians...

Admiring the picturesque at the Lakegarden at the same time.

The blue-and-white army.
It was a twenty-minute walk as the crowd was extremely large. As we inched throughout the journey, there were some pushed and shoves. Thank God that we were all safe... :-)

The food served was okay. I did not eat the burger because I was a temporary vegetarian... ;-)

Sarasvaathey and me.


Latha and me.

The beautiful balloon decoration.

Later, it was the performances and games. I watched the cheer with my friends. Honestly, the boys' were way better than the girls. They had really difficult moves. However, I did not know the results as I returned early.

The activity was quite fun but exhausting. By the way, this activity has made its way into the Malaysian Book of Records for "The Longest Participation of School Students in a Run". What was this? *Sweat and sighs

Owl City-Deer in the Headlights



Deer In The Headlights lyrics


Met a girl in the parking lot
And all I did was say hello
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home
But I guess that's the way it goes

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights

Met a girl with a graceful charm
But when beauty met the beast he froze
Got the sense I was not her type
By the black eye and bloody nose
But I guess that's the way it goes

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/owl-city-lyrics/deer-in-the-headlights-lyrics.html ]

It's suffocating to say
But the female mystique takes my breath away
So give me a smile or give me a sneer
Cause I'm trying to guess here

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
I'm sorry I ever tried (Deer in the headlights)

Tell me again was it love at first sight
When I walked by and you caught my eye
Didn't you know love could shine this bright
if life was a game, you would never play nice
if love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes

Put your sunglasses on
Cause you're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights
You're the deer in the headlights

Owl City-Alligator Sky



Alligator Sky lyrics

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 1]

Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me
I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to
Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to
The concrete and the sky switch places
So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces
Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut
Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up
Heh, I used to catch a cab on the Monday
Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly
Condo on the milky way
A house on the cloud and God's my landlord
And for my rent all I pay is my drive
Got that so If you need me you can find me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Bridge]

Roller coaster through the atmosphere

I'm drowning in this starry serenade
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/owl-city-lyrics/alligator-sky-lyrics.html]
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
My imagination's taking me away

Reverie whispered in my ear
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid
Roller coaster through the atmosphere
My imagination's taking me away

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 2]

Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance
Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed
Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to
That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to
Well, I sit on my star and see street lights
Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice
Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me
When you see me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead
I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

In the alligator sky...

The Rice Story

This was right after the BRATs workshop. On my way home, my parents brought my sister and me to the Rice Museum at Alor Star. I was thrilled at this idea as that was the precious chance for me to learn History LIVE! Besides, rice is the staple food of Malaysians.

Welcome to the museum! RM3 per entry for adults, RM@ for each camera brought.

The staircase is intricately designed to simulate the scenery in the caves of Crystal hill.





That was me, travelling a century back...!!! XD


P?S: Sorry for not typing in detail as I could not remember much of that trip. However, a picture speaks a thousand words... :-)

After a Month...

...and I am back to blogging! Sorry for the long wait! I am actually really busy and tensed p throughout the ENTIRE month after the fortnight-long school vacations! After racing with the time to complete my Additional Mathematics assignment, Moral Education project and of course, my Accounts Coursework, when I was just about to sit back and have a light moment...

"SPM SUDAH NAK DATANG! FOKUS! KENA DAPAT STRAIGHT "A"!!!"
 (SPM is around the corner! Focus! Must get straight "A"s!"

Get it? I bet you can fidget what I was doing all this while.
Okay, let me ship the prologue and get to the point. It is an extremely long story, after all... I have many posts in hand too.

To begin with, let me share with you guys some cool pictures I found online...

Waka-Waka Cake

Blue Forest Wedding Cake

Cute Bugs Bunny and carrots-My favorite vegetable!

Pink teddy in a "pool" of roses. Well, pink is my favorite color, teddy bear s my passion and I love roses the most out of the myriad of flowers out there

A classic yet elegant and simple wedding cake.

Pink + Brown + White! What a sweet stuff! I really want this cake for my birthday...!!!

Cinderella's carriage! It is mainly pink and white in color with a hint of cuteness and loaded with intrinsic artistic value.

This may be a little "Chinese"...and beautiful as well.

Bookworms should eat this.


Aren't they lovely? Well, actually, I did not find them for fun. They were part of my Additional Mathematics project. However, I did not take a picture of my project for safety purposes.

Seriously, the decoration was quite elaborate, with unlimited usage of glitters, yet the content in it was freaking simple and short! According my friends, my coursework was more to an art piece than a typical Additional Mathematics book.

Seriously, I love to go crazy with color, glitter and anything floral. Yet, I will draw the line when it comes to the choice of clothes. For fashion, I love a simple, not-too-elaborate style.

HUNGRY???!!! :D
