Midweek walk

One of the things I really miss, every time I go back to KL, is walking.

Back home, nobody really walks. The longest walk most Malaysians take (on a daily basis) is possibly from their front door to the car, then from the car to the lift lobby, and then to their office desks. Vice versa. Anything that requires more walking, like shopping, is considered additional exercise.

I don’t know, perhaps this could be changing now with the fuel prices jacked up… But even so, KL doesn’t offer a very pleasant walking experience — the city was never really designed for pedestrians. Oh well!

So I was taking a walk around Circular Quay and came across Caritas’ presentation for Blueprint for a Better World: The Millennium Development Goals and You in Customs House, possibly in conjunction with the World Youth Day.

Oh btw while many of my Malaysian and Singaporean friends came to Sydney for the WYD, I – being extremely sick of crowds (the crowd was crazy, or so I heard) – cleverly avoided every bit of it when I was back in KL. Muahahahaha!

People left little notes, joining the effort by making personal pledges towards a better world…

Some of these are actually mind-provoking and quite interesting to read, especially those by kids :)

Kids, nowadays… are becoming pretty much like mini-adults, just ALOT MORE creative.

    Yeah exactly! My little niece is definitely more creative than me… lol
    Btw you terrible girl, I called your Aussie number a million times when I was in Sydney for WYD… You didn’t even bother informing us you were outta the country! Shall not pick up your phone when you come to Singapore next time!
