Bukit Gasing Green Challenge 2007

Sunday, 26th Aug


I was late. (So sorry Alex, to keep ya waiting! :S)
Suppose to be there by 5.15am, but turned up at 5.45am.
The boss was too busy & stressed- out to notice.

Compared to last year,
the number of participants quadrupled, literally.

So instead of holding the event in La Salle school like last year,
the event was held at the padang opposite of Ampcorp Mall.


Run-a-holics who sacrifice their Sunday morning snooze
to compete for this event.
Yes, they pay people to make them run ridiculous amount of distance.
(But we runners know otherwise right?)



Host & Big Shots.
Spot The New Deputy of Tourism - YB Dato' Ir Donald Lim Siang Chai



She got me this job! Thanks a bunch!



The participants.



Even this old chap is participating!
He puts y'all couch potatoes youths to shame.



Everyone go "Awww..."
This proofs that age is not a factor.



Bored looking St. Johns. XP
"Where's the blood?! I want blood!!"



YB Dato' Lim preparing to kick start the race.



3! 2! 1! *Boom*
And the guys flag off.



Random dude.


While waiting for them to finish the course,
I checked out the booths.

PowerBar booth, also one of the sponsors.



Lafuma booth, main sponsor.
They sell sports attires for outdoor sports activities.



Event organizer.
They specialize on climbing & outdoor recreation equipment.
Hard core stuff, I say. ;)



Camp 5, indoor climbing gym @ 1 Utama.
I didn't know that had yoga...



PRIDE foudation, pink ribbon deeds.
PRIDE provides awareness about breast cancer in Malaysia.



pamphlet & wristband that says 'Walk with PRIDE'


I did not manage to be there when the participants finish
as I was in charge of distributing the goodies.
Oh well.



Friends of Bukit Gasing
Dedicated to protect the forest reserves at Bukit Gasing.



Varieties of tent.



Caught him red-handed! XP
This dude wanted to steal the tent
& he thought no one was looking.



RED F.M. booth.
The only booth with air-condition!
How come do they get special treatment?!
Grrr...



More goodies to give away.



Fiery RED car.



The young darlings manage to finish the race.
Woohoo!
Watch out, future winners here.



Post-run mingling.


This was the first time a run ever had a fashion show.
Check out the oh-so-hot models.

Macho-ness.



Mat salleh.



I love this shot.
This chick is rocks at posing. The ultimate poser.
Malaysia's Next Top model perhaps?



My favorite! *Sighs dramatically*
Okay, you can stop drooling now. XP


A few of the winners.

I think their twins. *hints Aimees & Charlotte*



Jane Cheng, a Fitness First body combat instructor.
That's what I call real stamina man. *salutes*



Her quote: "I was just glad that I finished."



She came all the way from Ipoh to participate!
Plus, she's a mommy who manages to take care of her kids
while still pursues her passion.
Go supermom!



Hot in Pink.
I wonder what's her favourite color?



Aww... She wanted to share her joy with her child. *tears*



The child's dad. What a fit family.


Yes, that is why I got darker. Working under the Sun all day.

P.S. I still have more pictures of winners that day.
People who wants their pictures on stage do enquiry from me.
I don't bite. ;)

Baseball, Baby

22nd Aug. @ 1 Utama

The dorks: Twins & I

We took the Putra train to Kelana Station,
then board Rapid KL to 1 Utama.
My first time boardin' a public bus!
*cough* spoilt *cough*

I, the adrenaline junkie, decided to drag them to baseball.
Located at the Upper Rooftop, with only one lift access.


We wasted an hour just searchin' for this hidden gem.

No wonder it's so empty. Sigh, such a pity .

To the owner:
You should put up more signboards on how to get here!




Bats & Helmets


yellow smaller one - human's ball (baseball size)
orange bigger one - shaun's ball (softball size)

We chose softball.



Gettin' ready...

Twin No.2


Twin No. 3?


We didnt manage to take a pic of Twin No. 1 as she was already hoggin' the batting cage.

Nice pose. XP



The dorks in action.

Aimee


Charlotte


Mua, yes i'm the dork playing softball with a skirt.

Baseball's not as easy as it seems. :(
Our hands were all numb & sore with bruises.



The construction workers were enjoying us makin' fools outta ourselves.
Hmph, let see you try & play.



the twins, loud & proud with their braces. :)


& they say they aren't cam-whores. Eesh...
They took practically most pics cuttin' me out of the pics.


Beneath the smiles, there lies the sore palms.


I wanted to steal the bat home,
but sadly my transparent bag gave it away.
Oh well.


After our minor workouts, we went to indulge
at Delicious by Ms. Read.

Oops.The S was missing.


From scrumptious savouries,


to orgasmic desserts.



I asked the twins to pick what they wanted.
"Anything-lah."
Geram betul. -_-
(Inside joke. XP)

So I chose for them

Strawberry Chocolate Pavlova


Banofee Pie


Lemongrass & Lychee Frosty (Ooo...Me like this pic, very artistic.)

The winner was, Strawberry Chocolate Pavlova.
People do try it, absolute delish. ;)





Snuggly pillows.


Awesome lamps = awesome lighting.

We'll definitely be back for more.



P.S. People who are interested in baseball, please don't hesitate to ask me.

Better yet, bring me along! *wink*
