people watch

today was not like any other ordinary day.

ohkay
*deep breathe in*, i hereby admit that today i made a fool out of myself. i stood in the middle of covent garden market, holding a signboard showing the direction for the participants of Crusaid Walk for Life 2009 from 11a.m. to 3p.m. yesss- under the shining sun, followed by the predicted wet rainy day- i stood still (well semi-standing lah since my back was against the railings). yess, when the piazza was that super busy with live music and too many passersby.


i'm not sure what has gotten into me that gave me the courage to sign-up for the volunteering event. it was dead-embarassing that i silently prayed throughout the first half of the session that i won't bump into anyone that i know any malaysians! imagine lah, i stood alone in the middle of the piazza when everyone else ran for shelter from the rain. nasib baik ada the transparent poncho! i looked stoopid in it but wth. when i saw missyH standing about 50 steps away from me, i laughed sorang-sorang. at least i'm not alone. i'm glad i dragged you along, amoi *laughs*

all THAT was before i got hyper! later on i was actually waving, thumbs-up, and shouting well done to the participants when they passed by. and they were really thoughtful; they waved back, said hello, pat me on the shoulder and said THANK YOU. awwwww thoooo tweeeeeetttt! lenguh muscle pipi i senyuuuum je!

some passersby stopped, had some chit-chat with me. some malaysians smiled when they saw me and one pakcik buat lawak commented on the signboard,"boleh sampai KL tak ikut direction ni?" lol.


well i hate to admit but i did enjoy myself; lepak-ing at covent garden kasi semangat to the walkers! and by the end of the day, probably my kulit muka already tebal sebab dah tak rasa malu holding the signboard in public place.... and i wouldn't mind doing it again. plus people-watching was quite fun *giggle*

...now it's time to rest as it will be a terribly busy week of lectures for moi!dang.
