Can we do this?! Please!!!

Project Ryders - 1st Day (Bukit Damansara - Rawang)

This is how I am gonna blog about the 2 weeks. As what I did for the official blog, I will do a personal write up for each day of the event.

Woke up early in the morning and I am ready to roll. I don't quite remember what I did that night but I was feeling kinda tired in the morning. I was ready and be tolled on the road already

All of us were suppose to meet at Nic's place early. I went to LRT station to get KJ with Kai and by the time all 7 of us actually gathered, it was already much later than expected.

All luggages loaded in my small little bluey, time for warm ups (Suppose to have a video for it though...)

The bicycles that are gonna conquer our fear!



Last check on luggages




RYDERS!!!




"Peace"

The cyclists (Nic, Sharon, Ian & Jet) rolled on and car crews (me, KJ & Kai) went straight to Kepong petrol station to wait for their arrival.

Along the way, cyclists suffered from punchures and it had caused much delay.

Upon arrival, the cyclists begin to dismantle some parts of Ian's bicycle. Her bicycle was too heavy for her and had been very exhaustive for her.

After that, KJ offered himself to replace Ian.

The gung ho people

hippo-nyer...

Personal note: When I was waiting with the rest in petrol station, I doubted whether they are gonna make it there. I constantly received calls from Nic saying that there were punchures... I was VERY glad when I saw them arriving at the petrol station. I have to admit that at one point of time, I nearly gave out and thought of just go back home... Nevertheless, this is the chance given to me to learn and grow and I thought I should be strong once!

Reaching at Jet's place in Rawang, I am set to do what I suppose to do -BLOG

See how attentive I am?!

In the night, we had our very first sharing session. KJ was there to motivate all of us. We decided to change our strategy of approaching the crowd as well. Instead of asking people to sign on our pledge books, we get people to sign on our banner and buntings. With this, people can actually SEE how charitable they are. I did my sharing too. I was in tears sharing how much I felt for the physically challenged...

Something that I will try my best to avoid...

I thought it is the best until Ben sent me this and changed my mind.

Of the 2 weeks

Two weeks! Two weeks I had been away and I amazingly learnt a lot.

Project Ryders is meant to create awareness amongst the public about their existence and the work they do for the physically challenged. I had a post in the official blog about how I felt about the project initially.

There were numerous amount of emotions intesecting with each other at the same time. It is the first time I reached out to the world and do something that I always wanted to do. I want it to be significant and worked at its best...

I supposed to be the cyclist for this project. Due to safety issues, I decided to let Sharon replaces me instead. Good thing that she was there with us. It is hard to imagine how it turned out to be without her. However, I cycled too. In fact, almost all of us had the chance to cycle in these 2 weeks.

Introducing you, Nic - the master mind of Project Ryders

Ian - the enthusiast

Jet - the one who got me into this

Sharon - the strongest of all

KJ - the multi roled photographer

Kai - the slow to warm one

MooMoo - the sweetest mistake

I will post up more about the 2 weeks I had spent after this. More errands to run =)

The 2 weeks in Penang

Every year, I will be back in home town for the St. Anne's feast regardless of what I am up to.

This year around, I found myself engaged more often in the church event. I guess this is one of the thing while I seek to strengthen my faith.

Simple and darn lazy post.

I told mom today that God made us meet certain people because he wanted us to.


He sent eight random people in class to be with me throughout the semester. I learnt a lot from each individual in the group and I have to say that it is of the most enjoyable experience working in a group thus far.


We had our very first group meeting and had someone to be our self-appointed leader. We were then divided into three groups and I happened to be the leader for my own. It was not pleasant in the beginning as the group leader was one of my team mates. Uncle 25 and his dominance really put me off in the initial stage. He tried so hard that he put the fire off. However, I have to say that he got his way of asking people about what others are doing (which I regard as “thick skinned”). It was good of course. We gotta know what other groups are doing and we sorta know what we fall short in. Maybe the enthusiasm gradually dissolves because of me poking fire or by his very nature, he did not exert the same amount of effort anymore and his work was super duper disappointing! Ask Michelle. She knows exactly what I am talking about. It was so bad to the extent that the others also keep a distance from him. That BAD lo…


Also in the same team is Michelle who shared all my pain throughout the progress. First impression I have for her? She carried that I-am-rich aura with her. She is definitely the first person whom I will call out for shopping! We got closer to each other because of our LOVELY team mate. I still recalled her first text that says “Come faster! I dunno how to deal wit him alone…”. I personally like this the best, “Uncle XX bugging alert!!!!!!” It’s still in my inbox =P Despite her being two years younger than me, she has much urban exposure and she was the one introducing new experiences and sensations to me. Never thought that we would become this close and I am glad our friendship got to be developed. XoXo

Michelle: Nah!!

The leader of another group, NCBF is a cute guy with curly hair… Yeah, like very curly? =D Happened to work with him on a charity event which I will blog frequently about. A responsible man with clear vision I must say. He is a serious man. I should be as that serious when it comes to cutting down the amount of food… I shall not reveal too much about him here as I have a long way to go till the end next month. Blah!

In the same group with NCBF is our cutie, Suk Pei a.k.a Sabrina. She and her giggles brighten my days. I felt bad for saying certain things in front of her sometimes as to me, she is a little lamb that is pure and free from “contamination”. I do want to “contaminate” her in any way and I love her being her! She gave me a lot of space to think about what I want to be. She leads a simple life and kept herself abstain from all forms of negative habits and lifestyle. Me being me, I am so rebellious that I could not stand not having dramas around me. Not GG of course. I just like something to happen sometimes or life would be kinda dull. Oh, she likes to say, " I don't know." and I always say, "What do you know?" =P

Also in the same group is Li Leng whom I do not have the chance to get to know better. Have fun studying abroad!

Kim! Kimberly Wee! She is high. Constantly high. On what? I don’t quite know. Some said oxygen. Some said tea. Some said alcohol. Well I say it is her heart beat… literally, she is high 24/7. It is worse when she have alcohol. She is a curious person who is willing to try almost everything. Nothing can actually stop her. I like her around as we can almost talk about anything under the sun and moon. Most importantly, almost anything can get her high on time. One thing about her is that she is VERY detailed. I need that quality so much! She is able to see the details that can affect the whole of the idea. Fantastic! Side note: my best friend said you’re sweet =)

Kimberly~~

Shanny belongs to Kim’s subgroup. I felt sorry for her as someone led her wrong and she did extra that we did not include in the final proposal. So sorry, Shanny. I should have seen that coming…

Ben was a newcomer whom I hardly talk to. I tried to talk to him but man, he’s darn cool in college. These and others change when he is out of college. Magical eh? =P

Ben Ben shisha'ing

In the end, what bond us together is trust. Love ya'll!

The cutest Lean

One fine day, I realised that I have a cute cousin and he is running for the most wanted ruumate.

It shocks me quite much. Never thought he is able to be transformed to this =P

Vote for him!
