hi all,

all advice on the parking arrangement ? I am thinking to get our staff to participate this year.

also, could you guys please posted the design of the T shirt ?

Thanks,

hi earpin, what time is the booth at 1U opened on both 25th & 26th, and are these 2 dates confirmed?

coz… last year they were closed on one of the days when it was already publicly announced.

thank you!

p.s. btw, is this event tax rebate claimable?

Hello everyone:)

It’s great to see the enthusiasm of all those here for this event:)I’ve already bought the T-shirt and another for my friend:) Hope to see you all there! :D :) Pictures of the T-shirt on the way:)

Oh btw, for those planning to get t-shirts from Carif, their working hours are from 8.30am-5.30pm Mon-Fri. T-shirts can only be bought during their working hours. The same applies to Canadian High comm, but they close at 4.30pm(can’t remember what time they open…)not too sure about their working days though.

See you all there once again:) :)

Parking can be found opposite Lake Gardens around the Tugu Negara area.Better car-pool, the roads leading to Lake Gardens were pretty jammed . Oh,also try not to park illegally, my friend told me he saw summonses being issued to illegally parked cars :P

Thanks Aoi, you are great fan & helps to TFR every year, see you there ;)

Hi Poh Lin :)
Yes they are tax claimable. they will issue you a temporary receipt upon purchase, whereby the official receipt will be signed by a director(who i’m not sure, sorry.). they will take your phone number down and call you later on when the official receipt is ready. this is what i have been told by the lady who sold the the t-shirts to me at CARIF.

@ien:thanks for the opening hours!

Got a question here..is Lensa Malaysia going to be at the run as well? Really enjoyed going through the pictures they took the past two years….

Hi, what is the distance of the run?

I’ve never got the chance to participate in previous years and plan to join in this year. Any idea what’s the best way to go there? I heard parking space is limited. Where else to park? (not sure how good public transport at that area)

My friend and I have finally gotten t-shirts for friends, families and ourselves from 1U! :-) Btw, there is a new micro-fibre fabric t-shirt this year selling @ RM50.00 for those who would prefer the light-weight fabric.

Aoi - They didn’t issue any receipt for us… Not sure if Lensa Malaysia will be there this year. Couldn’t find updates on their web. I reckon they would be there or at some other photographers. I’d be there with my camera. ;-)

Pin - Thanks for the updates again. I hope this is alright, I have actually posted this event on facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=37038681516 to invite more people…

ien, i gotten my tees from 1U and i was issued official receipt on the spot.

btw Pin, i’ve removed the banner from my blog. funny they do not want the public to help them publicise the event by using the banner?

Hi Pin,

Is there any secure place that we can put our bags or belongings ?

Hi Mango : Pls don’t bring animal such as dogs or cats…we do not want to offend our muslim friends or steps on dogs poo while running…

HI Pin,

Hmmm…what is your contingency plan if on that morning of Nov 2, rains heavily ?? Please share us your “Plan B” please……

Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar, Mantin, will be participating with 60 students and staff.

@Irunurun, I don’t think there are any storage box on the Run day. Plan B?… Run in rain, perhaps :)

Run in the rain eh…not a bad idea…maybe later we will have a “WET T-shirt” competition…. mucho sexaaayyyyyyy !!!! ha! ha! ha!

Hi people,

Congrats for joining the Terry Fox run recently. You have done one of the most noble thing on earth. Anyway, i just wondering if any of you manage to capture the group photo for shell malaysia team.Maybe can email me as i don’t get the chance to take out my camera since the next group are waiting for their turn.

Thanks.

I just wanted to say hi to all my fellow volunteers and tell you what an amazing job everybody did eventhough we had little time, were stretched for manpower, were so tired and little sleep. Give yourselves a pat on the back and don’t let the odd resentful remark get you down. We get better every year. Those of you out there who would like to be more involved, please keep e mailing and volunteer. We need fresh blood and ideas in the organizing committee to help us literally put in sweat and energy to this thankless mission, just like Terry Fox did…. not for ourselves but because it needed to be done!!

Again….. awesome effort, everybody..

I only knew that the run is already over. now have to wait for 2009.
