Thanks to Yasmin for inviting me to partake in the Celebrity Lap in the recent Relay for Life event.

“Relay For Life is an over-night event,
celebrating the lives of cancer survivors
as well as to remember the lives of loved ones who have lost the battle.
It is a high-spirited event where everyone in the community can join in the fight against cancer.

It is a day filled with fun, comradeship and festivities.
A time when people you know and people you don’t know team up to raise public awareness about cancer in the community.
Throughout the duration of the event, individuals, survivors, teams, companies, and schools will take turns to walk the track to relay the message of cancer.
Non-stop. From dusk till dawn.”

A big group of us were gathered at 3pm last Sat to leave for Malacca,
where we’d walk a lap in the relay and collect money whereupon every sen goes to the National Cancer Society.
The singers like Jacyln Victor, Vince Chong and Elvira Arul performed on stage.

Thanks to Aeroline for sponsoring our bus trip down!
They even took orders for Milo and coffee, and served us food.

We each decorated our Luminaria paperbags which were to be lit up that night.
Okay, i did mine under the pressure of the Chong sisters in the bus -_-

It was a looooong ride to Malacca cos the highway was jammed,
think we took almost 4 hours!
Had a quick but awesome nyonya dinner at Straits Meridien Malacca
before heading straight to the stadium.

Yasmin being the mother hen and making sure everyone does their thang.
On left is JFK, whom i just met that day but was SO NICE to hook me up with the best deal to fix my iPhone 4 which i shattered the day before -_-

We sold lots of blinky toys that Yasmin ordered to raise money.
Subsequently bought a few ourselves too 

The more femes faces urged people to donate $ in exchange for taking a picture with them.

Hans was damn laku to take pictures with people.
There were so many shy girls lingering nearby to take a picture with him!
I think we should start a kissing booth with Hans in it next time.
Sure pau more $
