So for ‘Car Free Day’ I unfortunately was in KL and couldn’t hold to my promise of riding the bus to work as I had pledged to do. sob sob. But, to my great pleasure, I received an sms from Helen in the office informing me that the girls have walked to work!

I was almost brought to tears to know that Nalini, Vijaya, Naresh and Azimah all walked from their homes to get to work on the morning of 25th March. Nalini, from Batu Ferringhi, actually rode on Rapid to join the bee line to the gardens. (and they arrived on time!)

They managed to attract quite a bit of attraction from passer-bys, most of them fellow neighbours anyway, to which only Vijaya answered ‘Trying to lose weight!’. I was told the rest of the group told her off for that.

And of course the best part is that they all managed to grab some breakfast on their way in – I would imagine at the roti canai stall beneath the large ‘ketapang’ trees.

So I was most impressed with their efforts and hope they keep it up. Next time I’ll belanja them breakfast on the way in. Great job guys, I’m really proud of you!
