I woke up at 5.45AM that day after around 3 hours of sleep i think. It sucks really. I was so damn sleepy. Anyway, took some bread while on the way there with my family on my dad's car. It was around a 30 mins trip.
The starting point was at Suntec City: Fountain of Wealth so we made our way there when we reach Suntec. There was alot of people and by alot I mean like right infront of me there were more than a few hundred. From what I know, 20k people turn up that day. Anyway, we reach 15 mins early so we just waited for the start of big walk.
Finally, it started in 15 mins.. 7.30 AM. It was crazy. Most of the people rush forward. Lucky my family and I didn't. Lol. Don't want to end up so close to others until we're smelling someone else's perspire.
Soo.. we started off walking on normal routes.. until some idiots decided to lead the "way/shortcut" to muddy paths or grass patches. It was all fine until my brother decided to follow which means the rest of us must follow. It was a wtf moment. Honestly, other than this.. another thing memorable is my brother's whining like "When are we reaching? Are we there yet? Tired la. rest one min" that kindda shit. It was bad enough having to walk on muddy areas and I have to listen to his whining from mid way to the finish line. Bleah.
Remind me never to go on big walk again if my brother is there. lol.
Anyway, around 10+ 11 AM i think, we finally reach the finishing line. Pardon the edited grass patches. Its to cover those ppl faces lol.
Guess what I did before reaching the finishing line. Taking pictures! haha.
I met Ronald McDonalds on the way to the finish line too. Of course its the fake one. =/
We waited for another 1 hr + for transport back to Suntec and for the goodie bag. I would say the wait was totally not worth it. The queue was crazy for both the goodie bag and transport. Bleah.
After the long wait for transport under the scorching sun, we boarded the bus and headed back to Suntec City Convention. It was a 15 mins ride I think.. I fell asleep so I'm not really sure of the time. On alighting the bus I saw these really cute performers.
They even do the "victory" handsign for me to take a picture. Haha.. but too bad they were too slow or I captured the picture too fast. lol. Anyway, we didn't take the 2nd goodie bag because the queue was too long.. and I don't have the patience to wait for it. We went for lunch at empire restaurant or something later then went home.
On reaching home, I started doing my damn assignment. lol.
