Yours truly, together with a small committee was tasked to come up with a Brisk Walk as part of a healthy lifestyle campaign for our company. So I came up with a route that passed the Ritz Carlton, Marina Mandarin, the Esplanade Theatre and brought us all the way to the Merlion and back to Millenia Towers. This was to cater for all, young and old of varied fitness levels. The weather threatened to be bad earlier in the day, but lucky for us it was fine towards evening as we did not have a contingency plan. I suppose as a last resort we could have done a last minute vertical marathon..ha ha
En route back to the office, even though most of my colleagues had already disappeared, I was told that the Senior Management Group wanted me to extend their walk. Yikes!….I had to walk and think fast, as there were lots of construction work being done along the Marina Bay area. Again I was thankful that at a certain point past Ritz Carlton, the bay area was still clear, scenic and importantly accessible for joggers and walkers alike. The whole walk which started at 1745hrs and was supposed to end at 1830hrs ended instead at 1930hrs.
