4M kiulu bamboo challenge




clockwise : rin and clare, perez, the rafting event.

its an annual event which i either participate as a competitor or just be one of the official taking care of the event. basically its an event where you have to run, raft then drift on a bamboo then run a little more and then you come to finale event where you have to walk on bamboo stilts.

last year NeuNeu and i crashed onto a fallen tree trunk because we lost control of the bamboo raft and was shooting to fast and too hard on the rushing river and then...KABOOM! smacked into the tree and overturned. the raft was literally stuck somehow to the tree and my leg got caught under the raft until NeuNeu dislodge it somehow (actually i don't know what was happening after the crash but this is what i figured :p) and i was free!!! but the raft is still stuck to the tree and at this point me and NeuNeu really didn't give a damn bout it cos the part where we crashed bit rough although shallow i couldn't even stand up; the moment i got free i started drifting away quickly. NeuNeu and i did a quick drama sketch of a rescue scene. finally we got to the river side and decided to forfeit. so folks, thanks to NeuNeu i'm still alive with only light injuries!

so everyone, understand why this year i am the evil sista who is incharge of the student volunteer! ROAR! ehehehe. uwah, i talked a lot.

F2 Powerboat Championship 2007


not much to say bout this event, other than i was suffering the whole time i was there. it was suppose to be just two days but got dragged on to three cause of unfavorable weather conditions. i covered the 1st and 3rd day.

Day 1, which was a Saturday, dragged on for eternity!
what bugged me the most was the waiting ... and waiting. oh hell i know, its mother nature's fault for being so inconsiderate as to be windy that day. grrr! ... alright, alright it was my fault for being hung over from Gaban's birthday aramaitii. luckily Rayner + Eddie was there to keep me from boredom.

Day 3, we were late and the finale race stated after i got there. this part i don't mind although it hot nuff to fry eggs. the least favorite kind of assignment is prize presentation! all those photographers pushing and shoving to get the best possible picture ... lil ol me gets crushed! not to mention it was a an exceptionally scorching day and it was unfortunately my first day of *&%# , you know ....

oh well, it was pretty interesting despite all that i wish i could have been in the mood to enjoy it better.
