Walk for a Cause@Esplanade - 22 March 2009

This morning, I went for a walk with my gym mate, ex-hommie and current hommies. My colleague 'fong fei kei' (aeroplane) me last minute due to raining but when she text me, it had stopped already. I guess rainy days make people lazy to come out... haha...

We went to this event 'MASS EXERCISE WORKOUT CUM MEMORY WALK' at Esplanade organized by the Alzheimer's Disease Association for its Dementia Awareness Week in March 2009. A lot of uncles, aunties, kids, young and old participated in the event. I guess it's for a good cause and there's no joining fee required.

Well, we enjoyed ourself walking for 2.8km and exercising (though not much) despite all the pushing and crowds during the 'FREE' goodie bag collection which was very badly organized. You can even hear aunties and uncles screaming there... even saw this volunteer at the event screaming his lungs out at everyone... my friend even think that that person should go for 'Anger Management' course... they really should get themselves organized next time.

What a day... went to GYM after that to have real workout... today's STEP Class was good... = )

The crowds assembling at the 'Floating Platform' at Esplanade getting ready for the mass exercise to begin.... with their resistance band in their hands...

All in action with their resistance bands... even d' old old auntie can do it... = )

Everyone doing their 'Squats'... piggy and chicky say... go to toilet action...hehehe...

After the mass exercise, here comes the 2.8km walk around the Esplande and Boat Quay...

This is what happen during the 'Goodie Bags' collection... no Q... everyone pushing.... some old, old auntie also very good at making their way through the crowds ok...scary...

This chaotic situation is in place... coz we all have to collect 'coupons' first before redeeming the goodie bags... and there's totally no control.... so dangerous with everyone pushing... stepping on each other's feet... lucky I'm taller...can have more fresh air.... haha...

Here's the 'Goodie Bag'.... after all the commotion.... life in SG... 'kiasu-ism' in place.... if u remember my previous blog on the 'CROCS sale' (something not FREE)... think this is nothing... haha....

And this is what's in the 'Goodie Bag'.... hahaha... apple, banana and powerbars...

After everything, you get to play some games at the carnival and if you played 3 games, collected 3 stamps, you get to have a lucky draw... which we decided to give it a miss... went for lunch at 'Marina Square' instead... to avoid the crowds...
