company "fun day" @ macritchie
went off the walk-a-jog ard 2pm... company sent a 48 seater bus to pick us but there were only abt slightly more than 10 pple on the bus ;p looks still the same
when we got there, almost all the others from the other subsidiaries were already there. mingled ard abit till we were asked to go to the starting point which was so damn far! tink a few hundred metres juz to walk to starting point n it was scorching hot... had a migraine when i got home last nite so had to take a panadol b4 i went to bed..one of my colleague is down with mc for migraine n the other who went to see a doctor last nite for cough had a temperature of 38.something n her doctor insisted she has fever n needed mc ;p
the jogging pathway was exactly the same 10yrs ago, still the granite stones n pot holes n some parts were even likely slippery, not to mention the horrid uphill parts ;p... but at least it was cooling inside the shade... wished i had more time to explore those new wooden pathways lined along the water edge but we had a time limit so non stop walking... kept losing sign of my original bunch of colleagues so ended up changing partners twice... the worst part of the walk was the final slope leading to the exit to the roadside pathway. even though it didnt look dat steep, it was quite a long slope n at the end of it, u have to walk another km beside a dusty expressway with oplluted air...dunno whos the idiot who plan such routes ;p... we did see monkeys! heres mummy n baby :)
pathway along the reservoir
a buffet waited us at the end of the walk but who the hell can eat? apparently you would be surprise that many did had the appetite to eat but not me, waited at least 15min b4 i could eat. by then all others had taken their shr so i didnt hv to q n could juz stand ard to eat...
fried wanton, noodles, soon kueh, samosa...
egg tart n pizza we didnt participate in the telematches so wondered round taking pics n chatting with colleagues... in the end decided to join my it colleagues on top of the slope overlooking the carpark till the event is ending b4 popping down for the closing speech n bus ride hm...
us on top of the slope
7:40 AM star light star bright... Y
