First time joining a
walkathon. I thought that this walk was going to be fun with lots of activities
for the kids, but I was wrong.
As Salaree and I
arrived early for the walk, we hung around in the mall and took pictures with
the giant candies at different stations. Thereafter, we went out for some air as
there was no air-con in the mall as it was still too early.
While waiting to be
flagged off, there were some warm-up exercises on stage. We were told that this
walk is not a race and not to run. Just walk.
The organiser flagged us
off on time. Everyone obeyed and nobody was running, all walking. As we were
walking, my friend and I got very bored. We came to the 1st station
and it was just giant candies for you to take pictures with.
2nd station,
it was just platforms for the kids to play with, and I WAS WAITING….WHERE ARE THE
REAL CANDIES? I want candies…..?
As we came to a
junction, my friend said, no need to walk further and u-turn. Just turn and
head to the finishing line. So, that’s what we did and went to the water
station, serving only small bottles of mineral water. Then, my friend decided to
stop in the 7-11 store to get some candies for the kids, otherwise they would be
super disappointed.
We went to the finishing
line, there were long queues for “Teh Tarik”, medal collection and McD orange
juice.
Seriously, I would not
want to join a walk or run in the future with this organiser. It looked so
promising from their advertisement, but I did not expect to receive a rubber
medal and no candies. Walking was also boring as there was nothing to
see. It was a total disappointment to me.
