Walk for 16 hours!!?? that was my initial reaction when my friend asked me whether I want to join Relay for Life 2009. After explanation, it seams that all we got to do is just making sure that for the 16 hours, there are or at least is people walking on the track. It started from 6pm to 10am. Which means, we will have to spend a night at the Bukit Jalil Stadium.
To sum up the purpose of this event:
Relay for Life 2009
The National Cancer Society of Malaysia has organised a campaign "Relay for Life", whereby teams of 10 people take turns to walk or run around the track for 16 hours to raise funds for cancer research , education, support services etc.
Well, if you really thought we stayed there for the whole 16 hours, nah, we didnt. At around 11 am, we went out for dinner+supper. and jeannie got to watch her Chelsea match. Other than that, we were at the stadium.
Out of the 16 hours, the 2 hours I spend with you is probably the best time I ever had during this event. We walked forward, walked backwards, picked up those fallen Luminaria, helped a sesat-ed moth; you cheered for the runners as the ran pass us, me busy pulling you away from the speeding people; stopped for your favorite milo, lead a Monash guy to our fellow ex-pres, etc etc. I think this is the one time we did so many things together. Just you and me. I really appreciate the time we spend and really hoped that it will never end. But life still goes on right? So, now I think I will hope for more of 'that moment'. Hehe.
There were times when we were together, deep inside me, I really had a strong urge to tell you everything I had in my heart. No matter what reply it will be, at least I get to tell you how I feel. But thinking of the smile on your face fading whenever you will see me & and not allowing me to fetch you to the bus station when you need right after I tell you, with a sigh, it dismisses my intention. I think, until the end, being together with you no doubt is what I hope for all the while, but ultimately, I think seeing you happy is what I really wish for.
Erm.. how did it went there?? Haha. Well, lets not what whatever I said dampen the spirit. if it does. Let it be, let it be. I think something great lies ahead. Like what the Chudley Cannon's motto says , Lets all just keep our finger cross and hope for the best."
