FUND RUN '08 was
- an attempt to set a record in the Singapore Book of Records, by having the most number of laps in a 24 hours relay, of 100m each.
- a charity event, with 70% of the proceeds helping the financially-needy students of NTU, and 30% going to MINDS.
- not a complete failure, even though response from the public wasn't that encouraging.
- an experience that I have enjoyed throughout, learning many things along the way, even though there were frustrating times during these few months of planning and the event itself.

These few days had been sleep-depriving. I can feel my eyelids getting heavier by the second.

On Friday, we were supposed to be in school by 12pm because we had to settle last minute stuff, and to pack the goodie bags. I was late by about an hour because I couldn't wake up in time. At around 7 in the evening, we headed down to Youth Park to set up the place. I only reached home at about 1am, and it was because we have a nice vice-president who offered to send me and Kat home, if not the cab fare would have burnt a hole in my already small pocket. After washing up, I had to print some stuff for the next day, and of course I couldn't help but surf the net for a litte while. So I only slept at 3am. ):

On Saturday, the event day itself, we were to meet at 9am to finalize everything before the event kicks off at 1pm. Again, I was late because I woke up at 8.15am, the time when I was supposed to leave the house actually. Since its a 24 hours event, some of us stayed over. At around 3 plus in the morning, Kat and I couldn't take it anymore, so Kenneth(our handsome chairperson, as he always claimed. LOL.) kindly offered his, or rather his friend's, van for us to nap in. We set the alarm so we will wake up after 2 hours, at 5.30am to continue helping out. Haha guess what. We slept until 7 plus in the morning instead. And nobody came to wake us up. -.- It wasn't the most comfortable nap ever, 'cause the seats in the van were quite small and cramped, I couldn't exactly stretch out my legs, or lie down on the seat itself.  I kept  waking up to shift around, 'cause I kept getting a stiff neck or numb feet. LOL. But okay, better than nothing.

The event ended at 1pm, but we had to clear the place and load the stuff up the van for the guys to bring them back to school. After that, in our half-stoned state, we waited around for them to come back to YP to pick up the sound system stuff. (I think next time they should borrow a lorry instead, so don't have to make 2 trips.) I reached home at around 6pm. I am sleep-deprived now.

I guess the nasty details of the event will be in the next post, erm because I think the details (and I) will be quite unpleasant. /:

Oh by the way, SPECIAL THANKS TO XIAO JI, ZHONG SHEN, CHER AND ELENA FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DROP BY FOR MY EVENT. (:  I know most of you wouldn't read this, but there is a possibility that XJ might, so...yeah. I was very touched when I saw you guys, 'cause you all came when everything was starting to be a bit discouraging. I was seriously darn happy when I saw you all lah. I really really appreciated your presence. I know you all didn't want to take part in the walk/run, but after my pleading you all still did in the end. SO THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH. You all have no idea how much your appearance and you guys agreeing to do the walk meant to me. And even more thanks and love to XJ because you were so on about it, agreeing so readily when I ask you all to come for my event. LOVE YOU PEOPLE! (:

I also love the people that I had hung out with during the 24 hours. I didn't regret staying over because of all these nonsensical people. I'm really glad most of us got to know each other better through this event! (:
