Since we started to carpool to work, I have changed my schedule and the journey to my tuition classes. For three Tuesdays in a month, I will have to drive to work myself because my tuition class on Tuesdays is at Bandar Utama from 6 to 8 p.m. So, no point for my darling to wait for me.
For every Wednesday and Thursday, I will have to walk to work. Hehe! Not to work as in my day job but walk to work for my tuition classes. Haha! You see, I have been working with this welfare home in Hulu Kelang since 2005 as a volunteer tutor. For twice a week, I have my classes there for the teenage girls who live there. All these years, I was driving to my classes. For the first time in my life since last week, I have started to walk to my classes. It’s not easy to walk, I tell you as this home is situated on top of a hill. And yes, I walk up the hill twice weekly now.
See the red Kancil? That’s my car. My darling will drop me off and I will use the overpass to cross over the main road. My darling would wait until I have safely arrived at the other side, hence that’s where I took this photo.
This is the overpass in Hulung Kelang before the Ampang exit. Luckily, there’s this overpass otherwise my walk-to-work will not materialise.
See, this is the road up the hill that I have to take. It was not easy the first two times but I was feeling better walking yesterday.
This is only half way. Still more to go.
This is the hardest part. The stairs. The first time I walked it, my legs were in pain. Clearly, it meant that I was not fit. But I was feeling alright walking it yesterday. Just have to remind myself to breathe. Hehe!
At last, at the top. Phew!
Lastly, another short distance I have arrived.
So, for twice weekly, that’s how I walk to my tuition classes here. After my classes, my darling will come to fetch me. Of course, he will drive up the hill to fetch me by that time. Haha! No way walking down the hill in the dark. Then we will go straight to my in-law’s house for dinner and bath just to save the time and the journey back and forth to our house.
Honestly, I think my new schedule is brilliant. We get to save more petrol with me walking more. I get to exercise and hopefully burn more fats. Haha! According to my darling, the best part is we get to save more electricity and water by bathing at my in-law’s. Haha! Definitely the cunning one, my darling.
