Fun walk @ Dukethon

On 22nd Nov, we participated the Dukethon (marathon) organized by Duke Highway. It's the nation's 1st ever 1Malaysia run on KL's newest highway. We signed up the easiest category of course, the Fun Walk because nak lari 5km macam tak larat jer lol! We arrived at the scene around 7.15am and the highway has already closed for the event. Cool eh! It's not like everyday you can walk, sit and posing around on a highway.

Somehow the weather is a bit gloomy that day. No blue skies, no clouds hence the photos were bit mandom. 1km sangat kejap okeh, peluh2 jantan pon tak sempat nak kluar maybe because we literally stop every 2-3mins to take photos =P At this point of shoot, we've walked more than 500m.

Posed with our certs. Poor Cheep and Poji who had to bear taking our photos that day heheh. Then we went to watch a cultural performance for few minutes. The music arrangement was awesome with a combination of 5 types of gendang and gamelan.

Then went to check out the booths for food and some freebies.

We took photos with clowns

And jumped with a clown

At the Road Safety booth and wrote a pledge.

Bought 2 personal pan pizza and share with everyone. Hohhh lapar giler time tuh! Sib 100plus punyer booth dekat ngan queue hot air balloon so senang nak gi minom, free flow plak tuh kalo tak mau tercekik makan hahaha

Eating while waiting for the hot air balloon to set up. We were among the top 15 in the queue tapik tuh pon still kene tunggu lama gak oh before our turn. And it's amazing ada jugak yang nak potong queue dengan muka tak malu. But the couple yang potong queue tuh trick terel because dia borak gelak2 ngan kitowang pehtu nyelit masuk. Nak marah cam tak kuasa and orang blakang pon sure ingat they were our friends. Hurmph!

After touched down.

Then check out cars on display. Banyak gak keta with Hello Kitty theme. Cute but serabutlah! But i think dorang bukan drive keta nie tiap2 ari kot kan? Time tuh tingat one rude HK car yang potong my queue in the Smart Tunnel. Tah2 that stupid car ada kat situ!

Haaa nih i like! Hello Kitty ekzos. hehehe

Time nak balik tuh merempit kejap ngan Mas. Lama giler tak naik motor, the last time was back in college days tumpang pegi class naik motor ngan Irma. Tapik Mas nie bawak telebey laju and agak gayat jugak lah hahaha. Sempat gak ler mintak Shara betoikan my portable sewing machine. Nak menjahit tapik tak reti nak letak benang, how? Since macam susah sangat and everybody dah start lapar balik, i asked shara to bawak balik and tgk whether the machine can still run or not.

So that was my experience in Dukethon. Now i can say I'm one of the first to set foot on Duke :)
