Step Tracker

While hanging out with JL at JE just yesterday, we saw that there were booths set up there handing out these 'Step Trackers' free of charge to members of the public. After finding out a bit more, we got to know that this was one of HPB's initiatives to get people to be more active. This got us interested then as it was a good way for us to make sure we keep ourselves active and walk more instead of seeking alternatives. However, we were told that the "Step Trackers' have all been fully given out for the day and we were told to come back the next day.
This was why I found myself at Jurong early this morning just after 7am. There were only 700 'Step Trackers' being given out each day and today was the last day of the booth in JE. Knowing how early queues form here in Sg, we decided to be early. JL had already arrived when I got there and there wasn't a queue yet. I guess it was Snnday morning and people weren't planning on sacrificing precious sleep to be up so early. It wasn't long before more people arrived though and staff from the booth had to redirect us so that the queue would be manageable.
The booth was only going to open at 9am though, so it was definitely more than an hour's wait for the both of us. We didn't have to worry though as we were among the first ten people in the queue. We soon got our 'Step Tracker' and got to know that it was to track how many steps we walked each day and we get points for walking the required number of steps which can then be exchanged for vouchers! I sure am going to make sure I get the maximum number of points each day. which is 60 by the way.
The points accumulation only begins on 7th Nov though so I'm just going to be playing around with it and getting used to it for now.
Alright, that's it. Gonna start walking tomorrow haha! ciaoz.
