It was a cool morning as we assemble at the carpark of
SICC Sime. It does not get bright till after 7 am. ( that will start to change
this week). As we waited for others to turn up, we were ambushed by the hoards
of mosquito who were waiting for their lo-hei breakfast. Against the
light of the car headlamps, you can so many of them that even you kill
tens of them, you will still get bitten by the others. So, we start our run
quickly so as to get away from the mosquito.
The usual route to Kheam Hock. Other than the "old
man" who dash to the front and took off like a bullet, the rest of us
were jogging along at a good brisk pace. The traffic was not very heavy but
somehow, Dear Leader seems to have a bit of a problem with the drivers as he had
a close encounter with a few of them. I presume there is a lack of mutual
understanding on the intention of both parties. Regardless, please do be
careful when you run on the roads. Never assume - better to be alive than being
right all the time.
We had our showers after the run. Off to Adam Road
hawker center for nasi lemak and the mee rebus. I joined the queue for the nasi
lemak as it was only about 6 people. It turned out to be a longer wait
than expected as the 6 people in front bought some 30 to 40 packets in total. Another
lesson - the waiting time is not necessary proportional to the queue
length. Oh - joke of the morning - One new Chinese citizen was looking at
all the concessions offered at the cinema and so he asked - how do I get to
become a senior citizen. Well, he thought that you can progress from a citizen
to a senior citizen just like a doctor to a senior doctor.
This Sunday is chap goh mei or yuan xiao jie 元宵节. It used to
be one of the Chinese Valentine days as the ladies get this chance only
once a year to go out and watch the lanterns. Of course look at all the hunks
and scholars along the way. Anyway, this marks end of CNY festivities and yes,
the end of the lo-hei raw fish for the year.
We will go to Pungggol Point for Sunday's run. We will do
the route in the clockwise direction so that it will not be as hot. As usual,
always good to start early. Usual time.
See you.
Regards
Yoke Weng
