Last Sunday, I attended Star Walk 2015 with my partner for a 7-km walk around the heritage area in Georgetown. It started at 7:00am with 20,000 participants plus lucky draw provided you complete the walk to qualify for a number. There were several sponsors for this mega event and free drinks dished out to the thirty walkers by 100 Plus, and other drinks sponsors. During Star Walk, I also signed up for UOB Credit card and got a free umbrella and Hello Kitty lunch box as sign up gifts. As it was held in Penang Times Square, it was very convenient for me and my partner to just take the lift upstairs for a much deserved bath and change of new clothes. This was the second time I participated since last year and we intend to walk every years for better health and mobility. It will also strengthen the bones and the muscles.
We also took a break in E & O hotel and had a short drink in a nearby coffee shop just before the finishing line. A couple even brought their pet Shitzu along in a stroller during the walk. Though the free gifts are less this year as compared to last year, nevertheless, it will not deter us from participating in future walks.
