Darren-less DAY ONE again.
:
Went for voluntering at Standard Chartered Marathon again yesterday. No more Baggage but Route Marshal. :p
Meet up with resh and gang at Tampines Mac before getting into the bus to Padang then went for the register blah blah. & the goddamn toilet is as crowded as usual. So.. i went to the corner of some tent and changed my volunteer shirt there when i can see like a whole bunch of people behind me (as in a distance away la).
Sounds insane though. :/
Had beehoon breakfast provided by them, crapped ard with the guys before moving to our 'stations'. So me and Nuh ended up at the first curve of the race.
Then while i'm constantly staring at the toilet area, the organizer went to close up all openings to the road and even toilets. So we're like stuck. -.- Then Jeremy came and find me, talked for a while then he went off. Kinda dozed off for a few occasions while waiting for the Full Marathon to start.
Then when the race started, thats when my 'nightmare' started too. I cant believe we're there to cheer for the people running. Doesnt seem like a really bad idea for most people but imagine if u were to blow that whistle and clap non stop for a few hours through the whole race, thats damn scary. I cant stop laughing at Nuh cos he was like constantly blowing at th whistle at some rhythm. So i joined him uh but ran outta breath. tsktsk :(
Aft the full marathon, finally can like sit down and take a break. In the end i was sleeping while leaning on the barriers but B was smsing me so i got awaken many times. :(
Saw Er Yu behind the barriers while i was walking towards kiat's station. haha then i was cheering at their station before moving back to mine. Then.. while i was cheering, someone pushed me.
DARREN RAN PAST ME AND HE PUSHED ME.
hahah I din even see him when i was cheering lor. -.-
He finished his 10 km run and went to find me aft that. Met at Esplanade and kinda stayed there for quite some time.
and i din steal his medal away from him this time round. teehee (: We went to meet his parents aft that and i went back to my station and he is going back home then come find me again.
Lina told us that we need to go to the floating platform area cos our job isnt done yet and the tracks are directed to somewhere else cos they have to reopen the roads. So.. we're back to cheering again. :(
and that damn area is fugging hot. and Naresh say i look like a minah when i wore that cap. STUPID RESH.
worse still, he says kiat will look like my bf when he stands beside me. Cos hes wearing a army cap too. -.-
Got dismissed at padang aft that, collected out pay, went to Raffles City, sat at Macs, died at the heat, ate my pathetic noodles, bade goodbye to resh and izan and the rest tagged along with me to the toilet to change my clothes. The volunteer tee is frigging cheapo this year. New Balance, aiyo. Then fian they all went off, i stayed at City Hall waiting for B.
i dozed off at the stairs there. Super tired already and i stink too. Not that much though but sticky enough to get shoo-d to bathe. Met him and went to starbucks, stayed there for quite some time cos he loves it, i solved the 'Mystery present' mystery, went to Marina Square to see the 'Mystery Present' and to check out the price of his present. :p
Went back to my mrt, stayed for a cpl of minutes more before we bade each other goodbye.
B went off to Sydney last night. And we've been smsing each other until i doze off. damn wtf, i shouldnt have slept. :(
sniffsniff
No wifi in sydney also. so no emails, maybe a little smses and no phone calls.
gosh. i have to endure this for 10 days somemore, god bless me man.
