Pepsi Longest Football Dribble

Coolness! I registered in this record-setting attempt not too long ago, and I was among the 900 kaki bola chosen! The attempt was 12 hours long of continuous football covering up to 87km all over KL! The event kicked off at Titiwangsa at 10am.













I gathered at Eden at about 3.30pm - very hyped up. However I was surprised to see so few in my leg of the attempt. Only 4 of us guys! So we got in this UNISEL bus (UNISEL - University Industry of Selangor) to register and collect our no. We were each asked how far we could dribble. I felt that was rather rhetoric. I could go as far as they wanted me to. So I just said 1km. They were surprised. Ok maybe I don't look like a footballer. Urrgh! But I wished I had the chance. Plus there were so few of us. They allowed me to run 800m. So anyway...I dribbled from Pandan to Jalan Peel. It was so cool being escorted by polices while kicking a Pepsi ball on the road! Muahahaha! Even so I didn't have the luxury to take my own pic. I was busy looking out for traffic, while keeping the ball moving on the not-so-level road. I was enjoying a good pace but the organisers told me to chill and slow down. Haha. So I finished my part and passed to the other guy.




There he goes...with the organisers in the opened white van escorting him.




And then...I realised. I was alone! I thought the bus would pick me up again. Damn it! No wonder the guy whom I passed the ball to gave me the Pepsi Goodies Bag.







Oh well...Might as well take a pic of myself...







Oh..and I got Pepsi Merchandises - Magnets (Henry in tux, Fabregas as an explorer, Ronaldinho on the beach), an 'Henry in tux' mug, 2 Pepsi notepads, and of course Pepsi + Sting + Apple Juice!

Anyway...another 1st today...a record to my name...well plus another 899!
