Merentas kampus!

Guess what? Today is Sunday and all the first year students are required to participate in the 5km Marathon. When I look at all the participants. I can see all of us are first year. I cant spot any other senior taking part except the organizers. Of course, who is willing to wake up 6am in the morning of Sunday? well, we gather at the foyer at 6.45am. Then the shutter bus takes us to the sport complex which will be our starting point. The other 'kolej' students are involved as well. The marathon start at 8.30am after briefing and some warm up exercises (as usual). The guys start at first followed by the girls. My friends and I already decided to walk instead of run (except that we run a bit at the beginning). It seems like a long journey for me since I have never do this kind of thing since form 6. It takes me around 45 minutes to reach the end point. Nevertheless, on the way we pass through plantation area (banana, bamboo, palm oil and etc) and golf area as well which makes me feel like climbing with all the up and down hills. At least, i have discovered the new places in upm which i dont know before. Thank god nothing bad happen during the event go on (no people faint as I can see), but we all are so thirsty after the marathon. Finally, the first place is taken by the KOSAS and my kolej also stand the place of 5 among all 14 kolej. Not bad, huh? After the prize giving, we go back to our own hostel by bus.
*if not because of the merits and those absents will be giving demerits, I wont rush back to my hostel at the night of Saturday also.
