I was too lazy to cycle lol. So I went there as supporter.
Had to wake up at 4a.m. and reach school at 5a.m @@

Around 5.30a.m., we departed from school to Straights Quay.

Was asked to take care of our school kids.
Yay penghwa sign board. See the 槟华女中 words so big.

That Alexa (LOL I only recognize facebook name) is the person in charge of our team =D
Obviously she’s frustrated? hahaha

Hello our school has the most supporters, 800 students omg kiasu.

Heard that there’s 3000 bicycles on the road!
Our Prime Minister, Najib and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng joined the ride too of course. Leading in the front.
They cycled about 7km from Tanjung Tokong to Gurney Drive.

The awkward moment when everyone already lined up at the side,
waiting and hurray-ing for Najib’s return…

but Najib took the other road instead, leaving everyone cheering for nothing.

and the reporters had to rush from one side to another lol pity.

Then there’s the opening ceremony, which most people weren’t actually listening.
Waving flags was fun tho.

'Hey kids, photo shooting session!’

'Everyone, WAAAVVVEEEEEEEE………….'

School buses dropped us back to school and tata byebye go home sayonara.
Never forget the heavy traffic jam.pathetic.

What I got today was:
-an oversized t-shirt (walao you thought so many Penangites obese is it make so many XL size shirt)
-a red cap
-and a disposable raincoat (considerate enough)

Those who participated as cyclist, like jai and serena,
can bring the bicycle back home. niceeeeeeeee.
