Now I run less but still run at times with walking, cycling added on. Variety is the spice of life? Walking is not bad at all. It's like walking the talk. I tend to see more things when I walk. Or even cycling where one can stop any time to take in the sights, smell and all. Maybe you can walk closer to God. You need a little quiet time. Besides smelling roses, I like watching insects. Like dragonflies, butterflies, etc. Or praying mantis and grasshoppers. When I was young, we could just walk downstairs and we could catch lots of grasshoppers but I didn't like the "chow mare kong" - the grandfather grasshopper which besides hopping so powerfully could actually fly with their wings and they are huge. I do not like them as their hind legs are extremely prickly and the eyes are huge. I remember catching fighting spiders at the backyard behind my granny's place. Especially good catches among the pandan leaves. Every time I saw two leaves closed to...

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy.

Indulge in hobbies. Or it can mean just taking a break or to break routine. Refresh your mind. The dust has settled for the Punggol East SMC By-Election. I welcome you to Punggol and I somehow felt this is a very nice song to share. No meaning to it, just felt nice. ...

I drove past the place many a times but never notice nor observe the rich history of the place. So this time I decided to check it out by going there to take a long walk, to fish and to soak in the vibes. There is a small carpark here that could take in may be twenty vehicles. There was a stream of visitors coming and going and the first sight that greeted us was this. It was scenic and picturesque. Coconut trees tend to lend a relax and laid back atmosphere. You can take a slow walk to the end of the bridge.  OCC (Orchid Country Club) beckons. Par 3 - I have had numerous birdies here before. And its wavy coast stretched a long way to the dam. I was checking for who has disappeared from my radar as you can see (the radars). This bridge reveals the history of a great place.  It was somewhat hazy that day. You can see the vast expanse of the reservoir. The history went back to the 140...
