We're The RATTs - Let's have FUN while doing our bit for charity !!: August 2008

It seems the some of us can't just stop having fun!

Back from our Langkawi trip, tanned and rested, some of us decided to burn the tarmac on last Sunday's Men's Health Marathon at the Lake Gardens, KL.

Darryl was very enthusiastic bout the race, and got most of us to join it. At first we wanted to join the Fun Run category as we were joining just for the fun of it, and we even joked that we wanted to camp out after 200 meters from the start line - rolling our mats out and enjoying our nasi lemak and roti canai!

To be honest, it was a relunctant decision for me to join the marathon as I was still nursing a high fever - it was 38.5 on Friday afternoon and I was still having fever on Saturday evening! But I was thinking hard bout it and realised that I didn't want to miss out on the fun, although it wasn't really my cuppa of tea! But I'm glad I did!

Soon the few us met up over at the Lake Gardens and soon our adventure began!

I'll again stop on the commentary and let the pics do the talking!

Are you guys RUNNING or CAM-WHORING?

Congrats to the guys - KK, Eugene, Ehsan, Brian, Darryl and Jason for successfully completing the whole 10km race! Woooot! And for Jason even more coz he sprained both of his ankles in the process! (Now that's what I call determination!)

p/s: Yeah, some of you were wondering how on earth did I managed to finish the entire race. Well to be honest, I ran for approximately 1km, walked for 6km, and the remaining 3km I was in an ambulance.... :P

Hey there!

Guess what! We do have another update on our RATTs blog!

As the second place winners of Miracle 2008, we did get some goodie bags during the prize giving ceremony, and inside one of those bags was a set of free room vouchers for Awana Porto Malai, Langkawi courtesy of Genting!

There's a voucher for 1 room for 1 night for each of us, and we've decided to make full use of it by heading over to Langkawi for our first ever mega-excursion trip!

Unfortunately, Simon and Nat were unable to join us for this trip, so it was me, Jason, KK and our fellow RATTs friends - Kelvin, Alvin, Darren, Patrick, Darryl, Ehsan and my twin bro, Gavin.

We started off the journey on Thursday 14th August at 430am in the morning... Hahaha. We drove all the way up north, stopping for breakfast at Bidor before continuing our journey all the way to Kuala Kedah. We left two cars - one was driven by KK and the other by Darren.

I'll skip the commentary and let the pictures do the talking... ENJOY!

p/s: Look for the pic where Jason's hair was on FIRE as the glass on the top of his Flaming Lamborghini fell and hit his head!
