Volunteering @ London Marathon

13th, April 2008:- Had been looking around for some charity activities and stumbled across Oxfam's Marathon Volunteers on the website. And so, we went. Witnessing the London Marathon the first time myself, it was pretty an experience. Never had I imagined there we soooo many people so enthusiastic about the charity event.

Got to the cheering point outside City of Pride pub in Canary Wharf around 9. Got ourselves geared up with Oxfam's t-shirts and wind breakers and started helping out to set up the cheering point. Blowing balloons, getting runners' names onto boards etc. The runners started to come through around ten. Having high expectations that I would spot Ronan Keating, I eagerly await and cheer on other runners passing by. Many were in costumes and very amusingly entertaining! The most unfornate thing would be when the down pour began around eleven. But the fortunate thing would be that we were already on our rain coats and the crowd behind us offer some space for us under their umbrellas. There were many other cheering crowds along the road from other charity organisations, many with more lovely balloons and pom poms etc.

Disappointingly, I didn't spot Ronan Keating. I must have missed him passing by! Damn! But then it's all fun for a Sunday...

Spot Me Above!

Just came back from Victoria Stn...seeing Amy and Gary off to Newcaslte...

Brought my work laptop home and meant to do some work...but not quite motivated at the moment hehe...

And resume making plans for Sth Korea in September. Anyone has any good suggestions, do let me know!...Oh man holidays one after another is just too hectic. I find myself making plans for every holiday straight after another holiday had finished. But I think things will die down after October, since I will only have 3 days holidays left after that lol.

Got to know about this "Test your Brain Age" game from Gary's DS. The game is quite fun, another type of brain game like Sudoku. Review: Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!.
The ideal score is 20. My first attempt score was 46, which is so bad LOL!

Went to Tower of London yesterday and spent about a bit less than 3 hours in there. Quite a lot to see I would say...
