power.walk
Suddenly, it has been one week since I last blogged.We had 3 days off over the last weekend. Monday was a public holiday, being Vesak Day,when Buddhists celebrate Buddhism.
So anyway did i tell you that I took part in The Newpaper Big Walk with Kamahl? Ten kilometres! I don't know how much is that in miles, but it's a long way anyway (somebody pls convert that) =) So it took us almost 2 hours to complete the walk...and I thought I was making big progress with my small, quick steps! There were over 50,000 people (gasp!) so it was a scorching hot and sweaty event. I was glad I took part anyway, because I wanted to do something different and fun over the long weekend. So that morning, I woke up at 6.30am (again, another gasp!), picked up kamahl and his brother, adam, along the way and we were good to go. We plan to join again.
So this was it, nothing much. Just a small nugget of my humble activities over the weekend...
What have you been up to?

wow!! kudos to you!! in ANY unit, 10kms is LONG!!!
me had a pretty sober weekend.. sleeping 48 hours straight ;-)
Someone beat me to the 6.2 mile conversion. It is funny, here in the U.S. where we generally refuse to cooperate with the rest of the world and go metric, we measure our foot races in kilometers too. So I know 10 K is 6.2 miles, and 5 K is 3.1 miles. But that's about it.
We are enjoying wonderful weather and spending our time outside. Our 3 day weekend is coming up, Monday is Memorial Day when we remember those who were killed in military service during wartime. Most people just barbeque.
healthy girl!!! haha. i wished i joined the vegetarian gang..haha. so funny. i would have been a long bean or a carrot! u can be the chilli padi! lol. i realized we dont have nice pictures together. we neeeed sooome. im feeling so eeeee. again. not good. pls remind me i am strong enough for this.
Hey I am thinkin bout doing a walk for breast cancer this year!!!!
Congrats. That's a huge leap from the 2.4km we had to run in secondary school.
Hi Chikuado, I always insist that sleep is good. so lucky you..i would love to just chill out at home and zzzzzzz all day long
Chis- you really took us thru your weekend, didnt you..anyway, i caught Star Wars. I enjoyed it too even thou i'm not big on it. Watch it, you must. Or miss out something, you will. YODA IS INSPIRING.
Hi Janet, thanks for the conversion..its pretty useful you know- 10km= 6.2 miles, i'll keep that in mind.my guess is that U.S isnt going to convert anytime soon. BTW, funny that we don't have Memorial Day here..wished we did. It's good to see you here again.
Hi jade, i'm pretty sure you'll be a long bean. but i still hate to eat veggie, you know that.
Be strong dear girl! you'll be starting your new job soon :) Cheer up, the Great Singapore Sale starts today. buy shoes..jade, anything.
Hulai, good idea..stay healthy while supporting a good cause. I'm up for the Terry Fox run coming September, which reminds me, i need to start training soon!
Trowa,i have not got any news from you so far..only from your blog which you update ever so occasionally. How did you date go?? haha
I always read your blog. I just don't always have anything relevant to add. Guess I should just say hi more!
Cool! now u are making me feel guilty for not participating in Bangalore Marathon;)
Don't feel bad! Do you guys have the Terry Fox run? We have it here in september and i plan to join..(that is if i'm fit enough by then!)
