Original.. NOT?

Ok forget what i said about keeping the whole thing to one post, i think people will be lazy to scroll down anyway.

Anyway, i just found out that apparently such a walk has already been done!
http://sgcafe.com/showthread.php?t=34161
And apparently they took about 14 hours to walk from Boonlay to pasir ris.

However, i'm still gonna go on with this mission thing!! cos it's different in many ways.

1) This is not a mental endurance thing. For those who know me well, you should know that i HATE running, which is the .. basic symbol of mental endurance. No, it's not about pushing my limits and conquering pain and all.
Rather, it's a journey across Singapore! I want to visit different shopping centres and do certain tasks (which i'll cover later) and just.. enjoy the whole experience. Not get cramps and stomach aches and muscle aches (as you'll read about if you read through that forum thread i linked above)

2) As related to 1, i'm not going to walk continously and only stop for lunch/dinner breaks! I'll visit places.. do different things.. etc. It's not 'The Walk' but 'The Journey'! see the difference? Hence i don't care if walking across Singapore can be done in 1 day or 1 hour or whatever, i'll be doing it at my own pace.

3) I'm doing this alone. It isn't an open invitation to whoever wants to join me to come along. It's a solo adventure, unlike the 'great koyuki walk' or whatever it is in the link where a group of people went.

Yes, so .. on to some ideas i had while some random brainstorming:

I thought it would be fun to have a long checklist of tasks that i had to accomplish along the way while walking from point A to B. So i thought of some ideas:

a) Test the service level of different retail shops.
This would mean acting like a totally retarded assholic customer. lol. An example would be to go to some shoe shop and try out a particular shoe and keep changing size. then decide that the colour isn't nice and change to another show. repeat till the salesperson seems pissed off enough. Then check my wallet.. OOPS. no money. bye.
hahahha. i'm such an idiot.

b) Perform magic tricks
I've been wanting to do this since 2 years ago, but i never got the guts. Maybe i could do it this time round.. like a street magician. But first.. need to brush up my tricks.. hehe.

c) Take random shots
These can be artistic.. or just .. random shots. i dunno. Ok by shots i mean like, photographs.

d) see how much free food i can get
Samples, scraps, etc. It would be interesting to find out how much you can actually eat without paying anything.

argh ok i got bored of thinking suddenly, overwhelmed by a wave of fatigue. I think i need a nap. booking in tonight :/ chowz.
