It has been officially 2 months, yet not many people believe that I walk all the way from Hang Tuah LRT station to Pavilion and took the same way back after working. Only once in a while, brother or mom will pick me up if they are around when I finish working.
But other than that, I will walk...YES. walk walk walk and walk. I am so used to walking and taking lrt that I am really enjoying everyday especially when I see this incident...
worst jam on earth - traffic jambut many friends will say
"gila lah you...""why don't take monorail?""not far meh?""wah...."when they found out that I walk that far twice everyday...
my walking journey every working day (Kok Hong's style)but walking has been part of my life since primary school.
I walk to school everyday when the school was just behind my house. During that time, if forgotten to bring anything. 1 public phone call and mom will come within 5 minutes if she haven't gone to work.
then come to secondary school, everyday have to walk from LRT station to school. After I've joined St. John Ambulance, every year will have this Flag Day where we will walk around KL to collect donations from public. That is when I was 'fully trained' to walk.
I cut down my walking since I can drive to college, but the 'passion' of walking is always in me and now I can let out my walking passion again.
wonder how much did I walk since I was born...The reason why I chose walking rather than others to reach somewhere is because I found it is in walking distance. Well, maybe not for majority of the people living on this planet but for me, as long as I don't have to cross a huge river or climb through a mountain and most important is if time allows me, then I will walk!!!
this is what I tell those that think I walk from Hang Tuah to Pavilion is crazy.
I will say
"as long as I can still walk, why not walk more?"looking at some aged people that found it difficult to even walk 1 step or people with physical disorder, isn't that we are still lucky because we can walk??? I always think, one day when I am old and couldn't walk anymore, I will regret and think why didn't I walk more when I still can back in those days. But I guess I won't be the one who will regret because did not full use my legs when they are still functioning properly.
these legs are meant for walking~other reason why I prefer walking rather than taking monorail?? is because I am lack of exercise because I don't go to gym like what people normally do now. Can't afford it and I am too lazy to work out at home. So, walk is my exercise although it did not much to me but still count. (according to wiki, walk is one of the best forms of exercise.) *in your face*
I used to hate walking when it is raining, especially during school times when we carry heavy bags and with cloth shoes. But now I enjoy it especially when finish working, it makes me feel better and at least it the weather is cool. If it happen when I go to work, it makes me lazy and wanted to stay at home.
difference between driving and walking...but again, looking at the traffic jam, I like walking more!!! Unless got splash by water when car pass by. *be more alert while walking in the rain* So far it didn't happen on me.
Lately, I just realise that the good thing for walking is...
if you have a camera and enjoy taking photos like me, this is a very good chance to explore~
because by walking, I can stop anytime to take a photo and it hardly can be done while driving...will cause accident ok?
when I drive, I have seen many potential nice photo but didn't have the chance to snap it because traffic is moving, unless it happen at the right timing like traffic jam or red light. Most of the time photo taken while driving turn out bad, blur...even my camera have the anti-shake mode which I turn it on since I first use it.
took this while waiting for red light to turn green...but I can fully enjoy taking photos while walking because I have time to look around, turn back, look up, down, left , right or even stop and stare. Although I walk the same way for the past 2 months and still counting, but I do act like tourist from time to time.
Especially when the sky is blue and the clouds are white that comes with a bright sun which equals to beautiful day. What is the best to starts off your work other than looking at a beautiful sky?
on my way to Cahaya StationFor most of the time, I will be looking at the sky and admiring it. The best 1 would be right after raining, that is when the sky is clear and everything looks clean. I hardly have time to take photos when I am heading to work, that is why I like it the most when my schedule ends few hours before the sun goes down. That is when I am really enjoy walking and taking my own sweet time to look around and take photos.
underneath traffic lightPudu Jailreflection of blue sky...heading towards Hang Tuah Stationpigeons on roof topI prefer taking photos on day time because the photos is exactly what I saw with my eyes as in the colours and brightness. But when the sky turns dark, what I snap is not what I saw.
like this one...
blue lights with blue sky.the sky is not that dark but flash light cause it and there is no moons on the sky, just that my lens is dirty. (turn out quite nice though...)
It has been awhile since I last posted sunset photos which even I myself found it wasted because of my working shift and awful weather during evening. But I am still full using my camera not for camwhoring myself but shows appreciation towards the nature. SKY.
and because of that, I enjoy walking and never think of it is tiring even after hours of working.
Cahaya Station...It motivates me...
I think this is the strength in me, I can find ways to enjoy doing something out of something that others think it is crazy to walk that far everyday.
if you want to know more about 'walk'..just google it. I am not really interested to find out more about walking because what I care most is that I can still walk.
some sunset pic I found in my folders...did I posted this before?
ahh..just another entry, cause it has been awhile since I last blogged and there is nothing new happen in my life besides working~
