Hello everyone π§.
Today public holiday for celebrating Deepawali. Today also my Mum, my Sister, and I joined Pink Beach Fun Walk organized by Kinabalu Pink Ribbon Association.
Kinabalu Pink Ribbon Association was an association for people with cancer or cancer patients to join for supporting each other and having fun together by joining any activities. My Mum a cancer patient is a member of this association.
By referring the brochure, it's said the event started at 6 am. We have to leave early from home to the event location at Tanjung Aru Likas Bay, Kota Kinabalu. Before going out, I made sure all the essential things I had brought along, such as a raincoat, wallet, water bottle, towel, event's lucky draw ticket, food voucher, and my smartphone.
At 5.30 am, the sky was still dark. I'm able to view the sunrise inside the car while my Sister driving to the event location.
In the event location, there were limited parking spaces. We worried that we are unable to get a good parking spot as we considered going out late from home. Luckily, we managed to get a parking spot in one go. Well, most Malaysian are always not on time. The organizer just make it 6.00 am as gathering time and the event started one hour later.
Although not yet 6.00 am or maybe around 5.50 am, the sky is already bright in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
While waiting for most of the participants' arrival, we strolled around Likas Bay and took some nice pictures. We also registered our attendances at the registration counter to eligible ourselves for the lucky draw at the end of the event.
Every year, we joined fun walk events except for the years 2020 and 2021, the years pandemic still happening actively. All the participants wore Pink Ribbon theme pink or white T-shirts when attending this event. We bought this T-shirt from the Kinabalu Pink Ribbon Association before the day of the event started.
I saw some participants bring along their pet dogs for the fun walks. Many of the participants approach the dogs to pet them and even take selfies with them. Only the brown poodle dog was very sporting that my Mum was able to take a pretty picture of this brown poodle dog.
The fun walks started at 7.00 am. Before that, all of us stretched our bodies first.
The fun walks event started. I have been separated from my Mum and Sister during the event. It's a jogging track, we have our walk. My Mum just jogged throughout the event. My Sister walks very fast that I could not follow. As for me, I have my walk leisurely by trying out TikTok live to show off to my followers or people what I'm doing now and taking pictures anywhere that I'm interested. It's my first time doing TikTok live and thanks to who teach me how to do TikTok live.
I managed to rest at the resting bench, maybe 2 or 3 times. I also interact in conversations with the other participants while resting on the bench. There's also a convenience store where I saw some participants buy things there.
After almost 1 hour I spent my 5 km walk at Likas Bay, I saw a truck at the end of my walk that offered energizing drinks for free. I drank 2 cups of it and if possible I would like to shout Harr~~~~ for feeling relieved after having the drink. But, I'm shy π.
Many participants have picnics around the event location. They enjoy the food prepared by the Kinabalu Pink Ribbon Association. Not sure how long my Mum and my Sister had waited for me to end my walks, they had been waited for me to have the meal together π.
We redeemed our food by showing the food voucher to the person in charge. We have fried rice noodles, 2 fried chicken, 2 satays, and a curry puff for our breakfast. The chilli sauce provided tasted damn nice π.
The lucky draw session started after the organizer had made sure all the participants were back at the event locations after finishing their fun walks and breakfast. My Mum had been selected to draw one lucky draw number for the lucky person.
There were 30 prizes for the lucky draw. Every 10 prizes were announced in 3 announcements. In that interval of the announcement were Zumba activities for the participants who were interested to join in. We did not join in as we feel tired and finished our breakfast just now.

We're not lucky for did not win anything from the lucky draw. We went back home after the last announcement of the lucky draw prize.
That's all. Thanks for reading my post π€.
