Breaking Barriers!

Tuesday, July 03, 2007



This is the picture of the morning after we broke the 30km barrier!

Last friday night, I walked with several other colleagues and clients on wheelchair from SPD HQ which is at Tiong Bahru to SPD Tampines! It was a 30km overnight walk to signify SPD's expansion and the addition of our services to the east. This is also in-line with our upcoming TV show. All in all it was really a very fulfilling experience. All of us never believed that this was possible! Imagine travelling on foot from Tiong Bahru all the way to Tampines!!

The trek was divided into 3 legs. Leg 1 was from SPD HQ to East Coast Park acDonalds. We flagged off at about 10:30pm on friday evening and reached East Coast at about 2:30pm or so after a 4 hours walk.

There we rested for about 30 to 40mins and begun Leg 2, which is from East Coast to Tampines stadium. Again we were ahead of time! We reached one of our rest points at a 24 hour coffeeshop and rested there for an hour before we proceeded with our walk. By about 7am, we reached Tampines stadium!

What an accomplishment! I didn't complete the last leg though...since I did not have any duties at the stadium, I followed one of the transport which ferried me from Tampines stadium to SPD Tampines centre. When I reached, I took a short tour of our centre and then took a cab home. As I was feeling quite tired by then, I wanted to leave before the crowd came.

The feeling is so surreal! Can't believe I actually walked that far! Really glad I signed up for this :)
