-> The walk of my life..
i have walk frm dhoby ghaut to macritche b4, walk frm amk to bishan, walk frm hougang to amk, participate in straits time 10km walkaton. but tis time, i think all those walks i have walk b4 does not add up to e walk i had ytd. i named it journey to the east.
the meanin of e walk in my life means e startin point at city hall while e endin pt at changi. i am attendin e recruitment "camp" by oc (outdoor consultant) wher if i am in it, i will be camp instructor in e future. we are only entitled to haf one fastforward (one ride to one destination by their transport) and we still need to carry our barang barangs along. dat's nt all, we still need to carry extra stuffs like 3 tents, 2 hula hoops, 1 sponge sword, 3 pvc poles and one rope to tag along too.
there will bout 20 plus pp there n were separated into two groups. ah long and i in e same team team along wif new frenz and i only know their nicknames because we only wrote our nickname and paste it at our sleves. they are buay, chili, ang go li, kee, fang, charcoal, fidah, yasin and ah puay. and i am known as sotong haa. zayd n felicia was our intructor fer e day n i glad bcoz i noe them. arif was in e other team. e guys are good enough coz dey sae all e extra things they take and we gers dun nid to take any thing. but we gers also not bad either, we help out to take too and it wasn't heavy la.
so we started off at esplanade, and e next destination was kallang dragon boat there. we actually wanted to go by a short cut that fang know but we walked a big big way there (zayd sae was bout 3x e shortcut distance) because we ask direction frm a police and he said e short cut wat was blocked. so we follow e mrt track and walk 3 mrt stations!
we were way behind e other team coz they took e shortcut! oh mine, we took a longer way n waste time. at e dragon boat area, we rest fer a while then proceed to sg indoor stadium. by dat time, my leg already start to ache liao lol. aft e challenge over there, we continue to walk to singapore swimming club.
aft e swimmin club, we haf to walk to katong park there and then to the big splash at east coast area, then to east coast mac there. on e way, christine (e person in charge) sae dat she saw we haf very good team spirit and offered to give us a free ride but we need to forsake e trolleys behind. we declined because we sae we will suffer together wif e other team by walkin. btw, on e way we found 2 abandon trolleys and we use it haa. we load all of our stuffs in and even load e trolley wif pp! we actually fond a 3rd one but we sae 2 is enu la haa.. all e while, e other was in front of us n we are all tryin our best to catch up wif them.
throughout e journey, i can sae we walk 2/3 n ran 1/3 ba coz we can catch up wif e other team frm e katong park since then. coz when we reach e place, e other team was halfway in their activities. ok, e journey was practically e whole stretch of east coast ad that's nt all. we proceed to to changi beach there n i walk past changi safra (e chalet i went b4 durin sec 5). dat time time we walk out of e chalet to quite far and we assume that we walk till nearly to airport. i noticed we were wrong dat time coz i walk e same road again and tis time, my direction was east coast road to changi safra. airport was at the other direction wher we are all headin to ytd.
we really walk to changi airport but i duno is halfway or less more, we were being stopped by e in charge tellin us to take e fast forward as he said if we were to continue walkin on, it would take us about 2h. note dat we have already taken about an hour plus walk e stretch of road to changi airport. airport wasn't happy wif dat idea becoz we haf walk nearly halfway to airport but if we were to give up it makes no pt. furthermore, to e same destination, e other team took e fast forward too and they were way ahead of us if we do so. we were think since they take nw so we shld save it fer e next destination so we still can catch up wif them.
in e end no choice coz all of us were tired and it's really long. we reach at safra terminal there n then proceed on to other changi beach at changi village there wher it's our last destination. wat a walk man n it's like 9am in e morn. we spent e whole nite walkin lol. n tis lot of water i drank that makes me feel like it's e amount i usually drank fer one wk of water. k it's not so exeragting la 3 days ba haa.
i had stiches along e way frm runnin n lots of blisters..! wear wrong socks haa also, my knees n heels are pain nw n in fact my whole leg la. juz nw took a nap fer a while n nw feel dat my backin is achin too. till nw, my stomach muscles are achin too. did i lose weight aft all that walk? haa. tml might be worst i guess.. haiz can someone pls massage fer mi?
