Jacob's Walk of Life 2009

This year's event was held at Taman Metropolitan Kepong. I was surprised to find that the place is actually quite big and with some scenic spots for photography.
love the reflection
The crowd was unexpectedly overwhelming (maybe because there's no registration fee needed??). There was chaos during the collection of T-Shirts and even more so during the goodies bag session. Not as fun as last year where we got a lot of Jacob's biscuits and Anlene milk (by a lot means at a dozen). But this year it's special because it is on Father's day. I think my dad enjoyed it. He can easily be the oldest participant there at the age of 79. I feel that there is way to improve the event:
1) Setting up special counters for senior citizen age 55 and above for shirt collection and goodies bag.
2) Goodies bag to be given when people crosses the finishing line instead of the long long queue at the counter.
a little mishap where the starting point archway fell
I am glad to have my family with me and thanks to dear who willingly be chauffer of the day. The event was followed by a heart dim sum meal at Bandar Manjalara's Ful Lai restaurant. Dim sum is quite normal there but the place is very crowded even at 10am. I personally like the Char Siew Bun.
Happy Father's Day, pa...Hope you will stay healthy and happy always.
mi and pa holding hands...
