So on Friday the 6th, I helped with Special Olympics with Truc My and Jimie in the morning. The special ed kids were really cute. They look up to us as their heroes because we play the real sports. So for just one day, Special Olympics is their time to shine. So even if the kiddy got 6th place, they had a huge smile plastered on their face and it's just really precious.
After that long day of Special Olympics, I went to Relay for Life with Truc My, Jenny, Nathen, and Khanh.
It was so cool :D! It was a fair and we played games, the food were great (because Truc My paid for Relay for life thing, it was free), and we saw many people there! ^__^! It was just amazing. And at the end, there was this walk thing where everyone had candles and it would be really dark. The bagpipe people started playing and many people followed them with their candles. Whenever I would look up and see people's teary faces, I wanted to cry too..It was an amazing experience.
So I came home from Relay for Life at like 11-12ish and slept over Truc My's house. We woke up at 7ish and immediately got ready for a 5k. My goal was to keep on running and to never stop until the end. It was the hardest goal that I had ever done physically and my knee kept aching, and it was just so so hard. But I somehow managed to push myself. At the beginning of the race, I was in the back and I saw Amy, Nathen, Jimie, Danny, and Patrick's back. I just ran and ran and one by one, I would pass them all except for Amy. Amy is a cross country runner, so she doesn't count. :P I passed Patrick and Danny then Jimie. Nathen was the only one in our group who had actually trained for this 5k, and I somehow even managed to passed him once, but he ran again and beat me. In the end, Amy got first, Nathen got second, and Jimie got third in our group. When we put our names and times in our age group, it was Amy who got first place and she got a medal, me in second and I got a medal, and it should have been Truc My that should got third place and medal, but I messed up. Bad. Since Patrick threw me his paper to put in the box, I put it in for him, but I didn't see Truc My motioning me to put hers in to..So I didn't know. But that was the down point of the weekend. It made me feel really bad and all I could do was nothing.
After the race, we immediately went to Truc My's sister's dancing recital. It was about an hour away so that was kind of long. She was really cute though =D
So I came home at around 9 and ended up sleeping at 12. I woke up on Sunday at 6:30am for church! Sheesh, no sleep at all...I hanged out with them until about 7ish and came home and there was a party for mom! ^__^! She looked quite happy when we gave her a card, candy, and a paper flower XD haha. Man, Terrific but tiring weekend for sure =]
