Dear participated in the recent Project Discovery 6 from the 13 to 15 June 2008. This time they walked all the way from Sungei Buloh to Pasir Ris Park within 3 days. Thus they covered the entire Singapore by foot. As Dear was had always taken part in such events with Touch, they made him the Team Leader of one of the teams for the walk. As he is always maintaining his good health by exercising, they naturally made him the leader for the more athletic members for the event.
The first day, they started off at Sungei Buloh and ended at Raffles Institute, which is near Bishan. That is a lot to cover for a day. If memory did not fail me, they cover a distance of 35 km. I do not remember the rest of the journey but they passed thru MacRitchie Reservoir, Bishan Park, Kallang River, East Coast Park and finally ending at Pasir Ris Park.
At the end of the second day, everyone was physically exhausted. Some of the participants even developed blisters on their legs. This was no different for Dear. He developed a blister on his toes. A check with the Podiarist, whom Touch has arranged on the second night due to large no. of them having blisters, showed that it was fine for him. They just paste a plaster or tape over his blister and he was fine to go on.
The end of the 3 days, Dear was really exhausted and he looked burnt! Hahaha. However I am proud that he was able to accomplish the trip without much problems. I am sorry Dear that I wasn’t able to participate in the event with you, I will try to participate whenever its possible.
