Terry Fox Run 2011

This year's t-shirt color was a little on the dull side but nevertheless, its all for a good cause. The venue this time is at Padang Merbuk which in my opinion, is better than last year's venue at Titiwangsa. My parents-in-law joined me and wifey this year. We were already planning on walking right from the start because of the crowd and I wanted to take more photos!

We arrived pretty early because I was worried about parking. True enough, I parked near the National Monument hill top. The milo truck was early too but it wasn't time for that yet; damn.

Everyone else was roaming around while I was sort of looking out for friends and snapping away with my camera.

It was starting to get really bright and sunny but still, we wanted to take pictures with the Terry Fox Run backdrop.

Finally, the last corner towards Padang Merbuk.

We took a shortcut instead but anyway, the queue for the milo truck was ridiculous as usual so we went to grab some bread and water instead.
