YES. it was over the course of two days. I actually didn't sleep. REALLY. ya. REALLY. i was awake. not walking but staring at the stars and eating roasted marshmallows. joining those stupid games they played at night and watching performances. PURE FUN tho.
i arrived late, since my sabbath ends at 7:30pm. so i reached after sabbath ended and started walking! woohoo! at first EVERYONE was excited. ppl screaming, cheering, shouting waving banners.....hmmm.....till it hit 8:30pm. energy was draining...... but stil. some were going strong. like those marathon runners. woo! till 5am, they r still RUNNING. its a walk-ing thing, yet they run. AMAZING. anyway, we stopped at 8:30pm if not mistaken, to light the candles in paper bags lining the inner ring of the circle we were walking along. it was such a pretty sight....too bad it didn't get caught on camera. :( BUT what DID get caught on camera were the glow-in-dark sticks we got for free! yay for mr.skinner!
after a while, it rained. and we weren't allowed to walk. aww....so ppl started to pile under those tents selling food. good business for them! FOOD was a definite hit. not to mention the fried chicken that i wanted to get but couldn't get :(
After it wasn't compulsory for everyone to walk on that tiny plot of land called a field. (yea, ppl complain that its a tad too small to hold an event as bi as a fund raiser but *shrugs* who cares? its for charity people!!! AND CANCER!!!) we decided to plan who was gonna walk first and everything. I think I got chosen to be walking first, but I didn't mind :) walking is healthy, its for charity and i hate arguing. so yea, i went walking first. Fighting would just make the day a bad one. and a longggg night it was going to be....
anyway, after that, walking walking walking....saw people running....saw couples coupling......saw people walking in the wrong direction....but oh well...either way...its for charity. So basically. I walked all night. i was awake for ryu's band performance and the game that my church friend won. hehe. she won packets of maggie mee! yay for them....at one point. when I was staring at the stars at 4am, i almost dozed off!! I know its allowed and all, but i wanted to keep a clean record of not sleeping throughout the whole event. ^_^ succeeded! due to the snoring of SOME PEOPLE.....*hmph*
ok....for awhile...i admit i ditched uplands for my church ppl :P
they were so cool! they were walking around singing songs that were so "spirit-lifting" and later....we found out that they won certificates for most spirited group! yay for them!
AND. i almost won adidas wirstbands!!!!! noooooooooooo!!!!!!!! but people beat me to itttt...T_T hahaha..oh well...only those who were awake for that race knew what was going on.....we had to find 3 different members from different groups....n we did! BUT. *sighs* once again.too little too late! noooooo
oh well....after marshmallows. it was time for breakfast. had those peanut pancakes and thn we all drudged home. got a lift with iyune :) thank you iyune
