Penang Star Walk

As a participant and a competitor of StarWalk 2008, I have to wake up as early as 4.40 in the morning. After a long semester break, I'm not use to waking up at this time. I was half drunk when I woke up. Hahahaha...

Went to McDonald for breakfast as me or any of my family members are lazy to cook breakfast and off to PISA to for attendance report. Upon reaching there at 6.20am met this Jason Siew with his neighbour. Short while later saw Chin Hooi, Edward, Chia How and other Old Frees there. Chat till 10 minutes before the walk start my stomach starts to ache but its bearable. Wanted to go to the toilet but the queue is like 30 people waiting. Therefor, I just say forget about it, hang on... walk for around 1hr 30 min and u reach ur toilet (I timed myself to complete the walk in 1.30hr before)

Sadly, I didn't know the race is on. When I see people start walking relaxingly, I thought they were walking to the starting point but after a certain distance, something is wrong and I pecut all the way till the end. All the friends that were with me, I have to leave them because they need to look after a girl that seems to be important to "somebody". Hahaha...

As I was walking, I saw Fairchild factory. Therefor i curse the factory (because of them, i have to learn so many types of semiconductors). After walking for a while, I saw MAS A330-300 plane flying across, taking off over me. Wah... so excited to see one taking off. Walk a while again, saw the FireFly Twin Otter plane taking off again. Wah, again so excited. Was hoping to see a bigger plane like B747-400 taking off but sadly cannot see one. :(


MAS A330-300

As I walk and walk and walk, all a sudden I see this Cheah Chun Teik( my former head warden) who was not a competitor walk ahead of me and have the time to say Hi and talk a few words and walk about 50 meters ahead of me. I was shock with his speed of walking, very impress with him. Wow... Walk short while again, i saw another friend again but this time manage to cut her ;)

I keep walking and walking till I see PISA (Finishing point). Add more speed in walking, see anybody in my category means CUT, overtake. Don't care and toilet is near. Must increase more speed. SPEED... LOL

Fianlly i finish the walk in 1hr 20 min. 10 minutes earlier then I expected, maybe due to the toilet motivation. Hahahaha.....

So finish means.... RUN to the toilet la, go relieve myself first. After everything settle, go to the stall setup by MILO, Sunkist, Malta and 100 Plus and get all my free drinks. I drank lots of cups of water from various stalls. In the end, my stomach has the mixture of all the drinks. If you learn chemistry... MILO + 100 Plus + Sunkist Orange + Sunkist Grape + Malta + my hydrocloric acid in my stomach = !@#$%^%. Not to be worried, my stomach is still OK!!!

Drinking lots of sugar water comes with the leg massage. Thank God i brought my Counterpain (My brother in sports). Apply some of it and massage my own leg. Digi did setup a massage stall but you must prove to them that you are a Digi user (I support Maxis =D ). Worse nobody want lend their Digi phone to me. Sob..sob...

Finally the time has come. Its Lucky Draw. Top 5 prizes are motorbikes sponsored by Suzuki. Other prizes are electronic items that are sponsored by Penasonic and Air tickets sponsored my Malaysian Airline, FireFly, China Airline, Eva Airways, Air Asia. The most worth air ticket are from Malaysian Airline, EVA Airways and China Airlines which are a one way trip from KL to Hong Kong, a one way trip from Penang to Taipei and a one way trip from KL to Taipei. The rest of the air tickets are common places such as Bandar Acheh, Phuket, Koh Sa Mui, "MANADO" and many many more weird places that i have never heard before.

As usual, Lucky Draws are only for lucky people. I was considered one of the "unlucky" one as i won nothing. Hahahaha... Finally the event finish at 1pm and i head home for my lunch and a long good rest to my legs.
