This year,due to the increasing cases of diabetes and other health-related problems among school students, the Malaysian government had decided to implement a sports program that would last throughout the year. The 1Student 1Sport 1Malaysia run was one of the events on the sports calender this year. Basically, it was a a 2.7 kilometre run that every school student had to take part in.
Since no prizes were awarded for the students (it wasn't supposed to be a race, it was just a health program), my friends and I decided that we run together throughout the course. The problem was,not all of us were athletes and it was sure that not everyone could have run continuously for the whole 2.7 km. However, we didn't really have a solution to that until the day itself.
That day,when everyone started running, my friends and I decided to become the last ones to start running. However, we found that most people were actually walking right from the start. So, as soon as we got out from the school compound, we started jogging. Then, all of a sudden, my friend got a idea to make our day fun.
He suggested that we sit down in front of La Salle school by the road in a group. See, our plan for the day was to have loads of fun and attract as much attention as possible. So,we sat down and started chanting some words which were attracting a lot of attention from the students. Then, we started singing our school song. It was the weirdest thing to do at that moment because our school song was the most boring and longest song ever and wasn't suitable for a happy event like that. But, we loved the fact that people were laughing at us the whole time.
After that, we decided to continue running to continue our fun in another place. The next stop was in front of some one's house. We did the same thing. We sat down and started chanting some names. I'm sorry to disappoint you but I can't reveal what we chanted because I think it would be inappropriate to be written on this blog post. Again, we were attracting loads of attention. Some La Salle boys were quite jealous of our bravery but they couldn't do anything about it. We took a group picture here.
Now, it was time to add some spice and flavour to our day. As we continued running, I started ringing the doorbells of the houses we passed by. My friends were shocked at what I did first but they then found it fun and followed what I did. The thing was,being a prefect in school, I never had a chance to do naughty things in school. So, I wasn't going to waste my opportunity this time.
Next up, we stopped a some one's house again. This time,I suggested we do planking and one of my friends suggested we do snow angels on the ground. We started off with snow angels. One of my friends decided to take a video. Then, it was time for my planking. I was so amazed by how crazy planking sounded that I really wanted to do it. So,I asked my friend to take a video of me planking. However, after I lied face down on the floor, my friends decided to jump on me. I hurt my chin and we had a good laugh about it. And.......the video turned out to be "Planking Gone Wrong"!
As we neared the primary school that most of us studied in, we decided to sit together on the compound walls of the school. We climbed up one by one and posed for a picture. Moments after that, two of my Form 4 friends took my shoes and ran off. I couldn't chase them as I knew that I would hurt my feet if I ran barefoot on the road. One of the teachers became angry at our naughtiness and scolded us. Then, I explained to her that this was our last year year in school and we wanted to enjoy our day. Surprisingly, she somehow accepted our reason.
We were almost reaching the end when we saw a signboard that reminded motorists to slow down as students would usually cross that road after school. Then, one of my friends suggested that we follow the instruction and walk in slow motion. It sounds pretty dumb and stupid but we kinda had fun trying to walk in slow motion in the middle of the road while everyone else was staring at us. After that, another crazy idea cropped up and we decided to army crawl on the ground. It was painful but very fun to act crazy.
When we finally reached our school, we were quite tired although the course was only 2.7 kilometres. We spent all our energy chanting words and doing crazy stuff along the way. It may sound stupid and crazy for some of you readers, but with my bunch of friends, the craziest things are always the best things we can ever do together.......
