Big Walk 2006

Went for the Big Walk on Sunday morning. The only other time that I had went for the event was 4 years ago, and coincidentally, it was the World Cup year as well. Had to get up very early @ 530am. Arranged to meet the rest at 715am at Kallang MRT. But I was a few minutes late.

By the time we walked towards the stadium, they had already flagged off for the start of the walk. There were a lot of people, from young to old, coming for the event. Some even brought their pet dog along. And I saw one young kid on a pair of skates as well.

As the group was quite big (total of 14 people), and we were walking at different, soon we found ourselves broken up into 2 groups of 7. However, we had converge again nearing the half way point. It was at this time that we saw MH, who was one of the photographer at the event. And so he took a group photo for all of us.

On our way back the sun is shining very brightly, making the walk tiring for some... Nontheless, we all managed to complete the walk before 10am. Then we made our way to the booth to collect the goodie bag. We left before the lucky draw was made, since none of us thought we could be lucky enough to win anything.

After that the group decided to go Yan Palace for lunch. Had wanted to come here for dinner on Vesak Day, but they never serve dim sum during dinner. So finally got a chance this time. We ordered 28 items on our first round of orders. Then I thought we had ordered a lot. Apparently that was not the case after the food was served. Then came 2nd round of orders and after that, the desserts. Had yet another sumptuous meal.
