Daily Life: Post CNY 2013

Wow, i did not realize its been more than 2 months since i update my blog. There are just too much project for me now to do at work plus i am training very hard for my marathons.

I have been also swimming a lot lately with aim of 10 laps without stopping, achieving a total of 20 laps each time i go to the swimming pool . I got the idea after going to Toa Payoh swimming pool where one lane is reserved for competitive swimming. I swim to one end, make a u-turn and come back on the other way.

This way more than one swimmer can swim and avoid crashing into another swimmer. Unfortunately I am only seeing this arrangement in Toa Payoh swimming pool. Hoping for more swimming pool to adopt such a measure as it will encourage swimmers to practice more.

This CNY I did not have enough money to go overseas for holiday or more like i don't wish to spend the money to go overseas for holiday. I decided to pay visit to my grandmother then go for a movie. Most cinema are open during the first day of CNY so there is no issues. Just the selection of movies is a problem. Thankfully Wreck-It Ralph is still available at the Shaw Lido so i went to book a seat. It was packed with family and kids since it a cartoon movie. I actually enjoyed the movie and went home to download the songs from the movie via youtube.

The weather for this CNY is rainy at best. All week it was raining and when its not raining, i have to rush to the swimming pool on the second day for a good swim. Too much good food during the CNY dinners waiting to be consumed by exercise. I don't wish to gain too much weight. Third day of CNY was good as I went for a 15k run with Team fatbird, a group of runners who organized runs on their own. Runners can get lonely and not everyone can handle loneliness as good as I so getting friends to run along can be a good way to de-stress too. The run takes us from labrador park to Kent Ridge park with many stops on the way. Its supposed to be a fun run so there is no timing. I did managed to record using my running app on my iphone.

I also do a lot more posting on my facebook so that is why i do not post too much article on my blog. But if there are interesting ones, i will keep my blog updated as frequently as i can. :)
