WELLNESS ON THE GO 2 星级健康 II event - Sharon Chan (陳敏之) - Klang Premiere Century Ride (25 May 2014)



































Triggered by the resounding success of health infotainment program, “Wellness On The Go” last year, Astro and TVB started the camera rolling again for season 2 in April. This time, it’s a whole different ball game for the celebrity hosts (similar line-up as Season 1, with the addition of Mandy Wong and Benjamin Yuen). To spice up the show, gone are the easy artistes-audiences work-out sessions as the hosts are now subjected to tough adrenalin pumping sports !  
I was kinda stunned when Sharon was selected to participate in the 18km cycling challenge –“Klang Premiere Century Ride” event. Sorry to say this but Sharon doesn’t exactly gives off the feeling of being athletic and I was worried she might not pull it off. I even told my friend that Astro should have asked the guys to take up this challenge instead of Sharon, which could be very taxing if one did not have sufficient practice and lack stamina. Deep down, I really hope she could accomplish this. Sharon has formed a very positive impression in my mind over the years, from my countless encounters with her.

The competition was segregated into two categories – one for professionals and another for amateurs (fun ride).  After a short warm-up on the stage, Sharon was all set for the race! Sharon revealed that she has never cycled for such a long distance before.  She could easily pass off as a professional cyclist with her full bicycle attire and shades. One heck of a cool babe! Sharon proved that my concerns were uncalled for. Yes! Sharon rose to the challenge and completed the feat. The best part is I think Sharon has really develop an interest for cycling and sports in general, as can be seen from her recent Weibo posts. Good for Sharon !  Come August, Sharon will return to  Malaysia for a mini concert with Bosco, Laughing, Jordan Chan, Kate and Sammy.
