Take The City Walk

A few weeks ago was the Take the City Walk. The SP primers were invited to take part in the event as it was in conjunction with the Singapore National Day Celebration and we wanted to show our supports to our fellow students who were involved in the NDP as motivators.

20 students were gathered at City Link mall around 7am in the morning before making our way to the Padang. At the padang, we were supposed to do a series of warm ups, but everyone were sleepy and all of us ended up doing the exercise if though we were made of Jelly. We were doing the exercise with slinky hands and wobbly body movements. Guo Jun, Vimel and I started to be crappy and came out with all sorts of lame jokes and funny stuff to entertain the students. With that, everyone was up and running and all of us were roaring with laughter.With the sound of the horn, we commenced our 5.5 Km journey along the marina bay area. The view was spectacular and all of the students were happily chatting and playing as we walked. I was with a few students, Virainia, Mei Yun, Hui Ling and Jeffrey. We were joking, crapping and talked about many stuffs as we walked. It was a really good way to know more about each other while admiring the view of the marina bay front.

The whole walk ended back at the Padang as we collected our water bottle and a bunch a vouchers. We were hot, sweaty and downright exhausted but had a lot fun. We needed to do one last thing before calling it a day and it was the national wide 4 Million smile campaign. After a brief rest, we made our way to St. Andrew’s Cathedral was a photo taking session. Some of the students were actually shy of taking their own personal photo…haha… but with a bit of coaxing, all of us had our little portraits’ taken. With that, we made our way to Marina Square to have lunch before heading back home.
