SO Walkathon & Fun Carnival





It was a loooooonggg day last sunday but it was for charity so wasnt tat bad :) Got my face painted by none other than DJ Iril from Pelangi 91.4 FM. Pelangi live up to their reputation.. the no. 1 station in Brunei hehe... well thanks to the DJs who turned up to Taman Tasek to support the event: DJ Zack, DJ Zura, DJ Ashraf, DJ Zain & DJ Didi.

Woke up just b4 5.30am as I promised Agnes ( a col who was also in the Opening/Closing Working Committee) that I'd leave home by 6am... but turned out I was at Tasek past 6.30am.. Last minute she wanted me to bring along a fancy tray. I had trouble finding one...

Arrived at Tasek... and from that time onwards... busy running here n there trying to set up things in time b4 the guest of honour & the rest of the entourage arrive from their walk from Taman SOAS.

Didn't help also that our volunteers turned up late... or didn't turn up at all. We had shortage of volunteers in the end. Many thanks to those who did turn up and stayed the whole time, namely from SCB and the Scouts. Some volunteers from Baiduri Bank did help in manning the booths in the morning... It was really a battle between the banks hehehhe good for them.... As for HSBC... they volunteered in joining the walkathon... Well... it was good publicity for them all... showing support for the community...

There were flying flox errr fox (hahaha a col pronounced it wrong while he was live on air), wall climbing, coconut bowling, balloons popping, pinata and face painting to name a few. Surely, the most popular was the flying fox. Even Datin Adina went on to try it... I wanted to but oh well.... hehhehe 'too busy' :p

Didn't take my camera down with me, I left it in the car.. what with the walking here and there, from one end to the other.. didn't have time to take shots. We kept looking at the time... 10am, 12 noon, 2pm.. then it was 4pm! Yayyy!! time to pack up hehehe.

Overall, I'd say we deserve a pat at the back... coz we manage to pull it off.. with no budget given at all!!! Bravo bravo hehhehe Only 4 Working Commitee members for the Opening/Closing/Carnival. Yes thats rite. ONLY 4 of us. Imagine. 2 venues. Limited resources. No money. Oh I didnt mention... Cleaning committee as well... yes, we were the last ones to go... hehehe the park rangers scared us a bit. So we picked up every visible rubbish we could see.. Its ok its ok... its for charity~~

Many thanks to Interpid with BARA.. the company who organised the flying fox & the wall climbing. Jo & her boys helped us a lot!
