Walk-A-Mile Charity Event

There was a Walk-A-Mile charity event that was organized by one of our partner company's secretary.  It's basically a charity fundraiser for the Heart Foundation Sarawak, and for RM10, you get a T-shirt and a heart balloon headband and you get to participate in the walk.. I was interested in the walk.. seeing how long it'll take me to complete a mile (approximately 1.6km).. 

Got there at 6am to collect the 'goodie bag' and then waited for a whole hour for the CM to arrive to officiate the event.. so many 'pek moh' around.. kept mistaking them for CM.. and wondering why it was such a non-ceremonious entry.  Anyway.. once he finally came and gave the opening speech and all that.. we were ready to walk.. I had no idea what the route was, so was excited. 

 Check out our cute headbands.. hahaha.. 

Anyway, when the race was officiated.. we started walking.. I realized that we were walking one round around the park.. 200m.. and that was it!  No repeated rounds nothing.. so what happened to 'walk-a-mile'?  I think it was named that just to sound good.. 

I barely broke a sweat!  What a waste of a morning IMHO..
