Energizer Event Volunteer

It was my first time in an event.

In a marathon event. I'm always interested in joining a marathon ever since after I join my first event 10km run. But I have never tried volunteering in one before. 

I actually came into this through my school's email. 

There were some people who were interested in joining this and want to join as a group. The event was quite a well-known one. It was not that well known as Sundown, those kind, but it was an event that people will spent money on. 

One thing good about this event was that in the early session. It was mostly about family bonding and challenging obstacles stuffs. 

There were Open 3km Obstacles and 3km & 1.5km Parent and Child session obstacles event.  

If you are interested, there is another similar event next year. : ENERGIZER NIGHT TRAIL RUN

It is a full day event. At night, there is more challenging run. Which is like a marathon run, but it held at night and there are more slops and stuffs like this. It happened in the jungle or forest. There is no 10km. 

There are 6km , 12km & 18km night trail runs. (Slight note: I want to join next year's 12km or 18km run though.) 

First timer there.

It was not that busy as we have thought. At first, we think that we will be really busy, as we are under Carnival. We were actually lost as they did not really give us the actual instructions to where we are suppose to go. The major problem was that the carnival do not have Jabir's name on it. So, Jabir was being discharged to other places. 

We have to go there earlier than the event's starting timing. 

The group meet at amk to take the bus to Singapore Zoo , early in the morning. Once we reached Singapore Zoo, we thought that it will be just opposite. But, in the end, we were lost. We wanted to take taxi there, but the drivers there are so inconsiderate and rude. Especially the female driver. 

In the end, nobody know the place we need to go. We ended up using our GPS and walk to our destination. It was actually quite nearby though. We were so elated when we reached. Goodness. We turn out to be the first to come despite thinking that we will be late as we were lost. 

We turn out chatting about many different stuffs while waiting for instructions. 

And we saw some familiar friends around there. Some who I called "hi-bye friends'" . 

It was a long day. Very long day. We were given quite a boring role in the carnival called Programming.
Programming is where we plants the prizes on the table and present during the prize presentation. So, to put it in bad terms, we are only required during prize presentation. There were 2 sessions, each in 5hrs interval. 4.45pm and 10.45pm. Rest of the time, we hve no idea what to do. I have to be honest, I nearly fell asleep while waiting. 

While sight-seeing, I saw Jonathan Tay. Not saying that I am a stalker.

I did add him on facebook and I saw him joining numerous marathon events, and I think he have received many prizes for it, I guess. But, I know he is very active in sports stuffs. He is cute too LOL 

Made some friends there too. 

Like the Mascot was a newly known friend. I am a pest to him, as I kept annoying him. Hahaha. 

We kept running away from the station at night and go to the stage area at the starting line. :D I go there to dance to the music. Which was cool :D 

Such a good ending. Jabir have a good view below, but I think he was badly sunburnt as he was on the top of the mountain and there is no shelter there.
