Finally …

I decided to venture into the exercise department after a snooze of an hour this afternoon.

Today is another hot day and since my excuse up until now for not being able to exercise was due to the rain, the hot weather was not going to deter me this time round.

But I did not feel like driving all the way to the Likas Sports Complex to exercise and decided to do it around my neigbourhood.

Yes, I finally did it after about four months of talking. Or more like twelve months plus four months = sixteen months.

Armed with my about 20 years old Reebok shoes, my sunnies and mobile phone with earphone intact so that I can listen to the radio, I started out at 5.40p.m. I decided to walk to the part of the neigbourhood I less travel and see if I could discover anything new.

While brisk walking, I discovered there is actually another housing estate inside my housing estate with 16 lots with beautiful houses.

The weather has been great with a slight breeze. In between the one hour I also jogged a bit. I did not want to over strain myself since I have not exercise for about two and a half years.

I sweated and felt great afterwards. My body was not aching at all.

But when I wanted to shower, suddenly there was no electricity. So I had to shower practically in the dark.

After that I also had my dinner with the aid of of a portable fluorescent light.

Thank God there was still a slight breeze to make the night not as hot as it could be.

I lied on the sofa set and listened to the radio on my mobile phone for about an hour before CTY and I went to Food City to drink, eat and chit-chat for two and a half hours.

Yes, I can say I smell the roses today, so to speak and if I do not exercise anymore for the rest of this year, at least I can say I did it for an hour on the same Saturday as the week of my birthday.
