The start of the rest of our lives! / 11:28 PM
Selamat malam to all my dear bagusians!
Firstly I would like to say thanks a million to each and everyone of you for tolerating me for the last 4 days (yeah you better appreciate it cos i tolerated you guys too especially.... ) HAHAH!!! nah its all good fun :). Ok back to serious stuff.
When mabel first asked me if I wanted to join the nomadic race my first reaction was WAHLAUUUUU lazyyyy ahhhhh..... But then i thought again and just do it uh because I'll never know what i'll get out of it. And now i never regretted making that decision even after the freaking painful blisters, the arguments, the lack of rest, food and water and the MILES AND MILES OF WALKING because you guys were there for each other, you guys were supporting each other. It may not be in terms of opening your mouth and saying encouraging words but the tiny winy deeds that everyone of you showed.
For me, chin boon was always there to start the laughing hyena in me, but he was also there to take care of me the first day when my blisterS made its appearance. Also being the navigator of the group, his patience for us when we sometimes get frustrated because we went the wrong way and had to back tracked is SUPERB. Without you, I'll be going in circles around Singapore.
Mahesh, never even once leaving my side during the entire race, we just clicked at the start to the end. Like you were telling me the other night we have a certain kind of telephaty going on between us. No need to open our mouth we know what each other is thinking. The jokes, story telling and singing sessions we had along the way was a booster to my energy physically, mentally and emotionally.
And for the computer wiz and born leader Sutrisno, you've always been there supporting every single one of us. Disturbing me and mabel any chance you had just to make the spirit in us happy. I thank you so much for being the glue that stuck all 6 of us together. Alwyas putting everyone before yourself. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL: THE PRESIDENT OF PJC COUNCIL! hehehe :)
My ODAC treasurer, Mabel Lau, i thank you so much for asking me to join this race. Eventhough we've known each other for the past 2 years and counting, this is the first time we really LIVED, BATHED and SLEPT together, literally. You really cared about every single one of your team members and no worries captain you did an excellent job in the role. These past 4 days have brought us much closer than ever before. Continue being the tai tai that you are because that's what makes you you in this family :).
Lastly, my dear friend Azree. Yes we are friends because we live very close to each other. LOL. It was just a statement that came out of my mouth but now we know that being neighbours is not the only thing that links us together, because of we now come from one family called BAGUS. Thanks a lot for teaching all of us small things along the way. Also the run from sengkang police post to punggol jetty, that last stretch was A REAL STRETCH to me. So kudos for keeping the group together then and reaching the end point together! That is one of the events in this race that I will never forget.
Like Sutrisno said, writing an essay would not be sufficient to even show how much i appreciate being in this group. So i end this entry with the start of the rest of our lives.
