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. ;)

Part of the trail at Taman Pendidikan Bukit Gasing has collapsed in a big way due to a landslide sometime last week. The trail has been cut off. A bungalow's compound is under threat. Although unrelated to the proposed development on the KL side, this is natural evidence of how fragile Bukit Gasing is. Please join us to SAVE BUKIT GASING.
