Braddell Road Towards Lornie Road

This stretch of road and Lornie Road/Highway is full of cameras.  I always make sure I do not speed wherever.  Some times just to overtake a slow vehicle, have slightly higher speed.  I just got it!  The speed exceeds from 1 - 20 KMPH!!  For this, it is $150 fine and 4 demerit points.  What the!!!

Jinxed?

Sometimes it is good to be superstitious!  I was just telling my friend that I no longer get up in the middle of the night.  I think I am getting less stress or recovering well from the spinal surgery.

Guess what?  This morning I am up at 4am.  I was enjoying good night's sleep for a couple of weeks and now insomnia hits.  Did I speak too soon?  Or is it because I mentioned it to someone and my subconscious wants to punish me? 

Life can be such that it is better not to reveal improvement in routines.  Otherwise, it may be reset to the old ways...

More and More are Hooked to Bukit Timah Climb

Coming Monday is Dewali or Deepavali holiday.  So more of my schoolmates will join the climb.  It will be more fun to gather for healthy pursuits.  I think we may do the more challenging climb again
So it will be good as I am looking forward to strengthen some of my lesser used muscles.

Climbing up the hill has an advantage.  The goal is clear and specific.  No stopping until reaching the summit.

Bukit Timah Summit

Last Sunday, I took up the invitation to climb Bukit Timah with chatgroup friend.  It was a tough climb as the slopes can be steep.  Rather the climb is not too bad but the return is the one taking lots of strength on hardly used muscles.  I was very sore on Monday and a couple days thereafter.  I can hardly go down my stairs as it hurts a lot.  Another friend taught my how to stretch and it helps to relief the pains while going down.

This morning, we did the climb again.  This time we have 2 more joining in.  I think they are less fit.  So we walk down the easy route instead of going back by the same way.  I feel less sore than the first time.  Firstly, I am more fit and mostly it is because the return is far easier.

The total climb and return is about 1 and half hour if you do not rest too long.

Clear Blue Sky

It is a beautiful morning. Cerulean blue sky.  Fluffy white clouds floating lazily.  Cool air temperature.  Rain is wonderful especially when it rained over a long period.  The air smells fresh and wonderful.

I was up at 3:30am and now sleep is catching me.  May take a nap to relieve my sleepiness.
