Great South Run

November 15, 2009 at 02:18 (Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Random-ness, Elli in Voluntary Work/Charity)

Great South Run is a charity run which a lot of association either they are for the underprivilage kids, Old folks, Cancer Patients etc.
I joined a club which is Volunteering in Portsmouth (VIP)
What we did is whenever theres an event happening in Porstmouth or the event organized by the club, we can join if we have free time
I had a very small position in this club as Secretary for Children Department
I’ve never been a secretary before but I guess I have to experience it when I have chance

Anyway, our University decided to represent Cancer Research UK 
The duty for the volunteers are to cheer for the Runners
I was so excited because I never done it before

Cheering Bus

The Runner

The Army team

They actually pulling the cars and run at the same time

They even weat costume to run. hahaha*

That guy with the Ambulance thing


I’ve been cheering for three hours today!
Luckily, I still have my voice..
If not I will be suffering right now
I’m really glad that I’d joined this event today
I even get to met new friends.

That’s all for today
I’ve gotta head on to bed as today had been a very tiring day for me
Hopefully, I can wake up tomorrow.. *fingers crossing*

Environment Clean Up

November 11, 2009 at 20:10 (Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Voluntary Work/Charity)

Place: Milton Common, Langstone
With: Volunteer in Portsmouth’s Team (VIP)

The president told us that the site was complained about (in the local paper) as it was such a mess, so we decided to clean it up
Even though, I didn’t really join this kind of event when I was in Malaysia but it would be fun I GUESS
I was supposed to go with Ping as SK wanted to go ‘YOGA’ so, she won’t be going with us

While me and Ping waiting for the university bus at the Bus Station, coincident SK just finished her Yoga session so we forced her to come along with us
heheheh XD

When we reached there, I saw my coursemate, Konstantin,  which staying at Langstone Hall.
He was on his way out to gym so, we just chatted for a while then both of us separated
I remembered he told me before that from Langstone Hall to our Business School needs to take around 45 minutes
I felt quite pity for him tho… 

Each of us given a pair of gloves, a plastic bags and **********(im not sure call what)
It’s too bored for us just picking up all the recyclable stuff so, SK turn on the music from her phone

and guess what

WE ARE THE NEW CSI TEAM (I thought of that suddenly)

After each of us get the gadgets, we separated to gather all the “things” 

CSI – Miss Ping

CSI – Miss SK

AND

ME!!
CSI – Miss Elliza (the photographer)

p/s: the place doesn’t have much trash if compare with Malaysia

3rd day

September 30, 2009 at 22:03 (Elli in Food, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Voluntary Work/Charity)

Woke up early as always. *Sigh*
Had bread for my breakfast.
Weather ~ Sunny

Today I just have half an hour class which is Accounting with Finance according to the Surnames.
This class just briefly tell us what are the subjects that we are taking for Year 1 and got to take our timetable.
I was a bit shocked looking at my timetable because there are a lot of free time .

You get what I mean??PA102140
After class, me and SK went to the Nuffield Sports Centre again to make our student ID. This time the cue was quite short so we decided to make it today as I do not want to delay again.
After settled the Uni stuff, me and SK went to the Freshers’ Fayre.
Our Uni have a lot of clubs and societies. But I had few Clubs in mind which I wanted to join.
First: Voluntering in Portsmouth (VIP)
Second: Raising and Giving (RAG)
Third: Basketball or Netball
I was doubt whether or not to join the sports club because I do not bring along my shoe to Portsmouth. I regreted I did not bring along. I really do want to join the sports club. 
Guess I got to ask my mom to send my sportshoe as well. XD
Oh yeah!
There is one more club that I forgotten to mention. I joined Malaysian Society too! I was being forced by Cing actually because I really do not want to join this club which is I think this kind of club doesn’t suit me. But no choice, I joined and paid 10 pound.

After that,  I decided not to have dinner with SK and Cing so I went to dinner with Stephanie at the Hong Kong Tea Restaurant which is located at The Commercial Road.

I ordered Duck with Ginger and Spring Onion
P9301853
And, Stephanie ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken
P9301852
The food was nice but kind of too big portion for us.
So, Me and Step planned to take away half of it for tomorrow lunch.
After dinner, we walked around at Commercial Road and then walked to Albert Road. It was far actually from Commercial Road to Albert Road but we do not care because we wanted to walk after dinner.
It was fun and Step sent me back home around 10 something.

~END~
