Fortunately, the Olympic Council of Malaysia HQ is just a few doors away from MBS. A few of our students managed to witness this historic event. Among them was sixth former Lim Wen Chean.
In her words:
I was completely clueless about what was happening today because I haven't been reading the newspapers for the past few days. How can I not know about the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch relay?!
Kent did invite me to join him yesterday to witness the relay after school but I couldn't because I had a meeting to attend and also I had to do my Reading Programme. =/ And I didn't bother asking much because I thought it was a movie at first. LOL! :D He said this, "I, Chen Ken Kent, invite you, Lim Wen Chean to watch the olympic relay". I guess I misinterpreted. x)
So, today I went to school and they were saying things like,
"Die lah! You cannot go home today, all the roads are block!"
"You parked at OCM some more! There confirm block!"
"Even if you wanna go home, you'll be stuck in traffic everywhere!"
Oh bummer. =/ I got so worried because I thought they would block the road at OCM cause that's where I park my car. But, anyhow, I didn't rush home right after school because Kent told me the relay started already and the roads would've probably been blocked by then. So, what's the point of rushing right? Besides, I have other things to do.
After completing RP with Janice, a lot of people who went to see the relay were telling us about how cool it was and stuff. This relay is like a once-in-a-lifetime-thingy and we missed it! Pfft. Janice didn't drive, so I walked to OCM by myself. I saw so many people waiting down the hill looking up at Stadium Merdeka. I was told earlier that the runners passed our school already and I was wondering why did people still bother waiting. When I was about to enter OCM, I noticed Kent, Hsien, Robson, Chee Kar and Lee Meng waiting too! They told me that the torch is about to be passed to another person soon. So, I joined them as well. Haha. :D We waited for about 15 minutes I think and I saw Lee Chong Wei (national badminton player) in one of the buses! :D
Hsien's camera died, so I ran to my car to grab my handphone which was the only device I could use to snap pictures eventhough its camera is 2.0 megapixel only. =/ Hsien snapped a couple of pictures for me. :)
We also took a picture with the torch! :D The man was kind enough to let us take a picture with the torch and we were like a bunch of jakuns. Haha. It was so abrupt especially when I didn't expect to witness all this. xD
