I did it!

I put on my pair of running shoes and scooted out of the house to the park for a jog. It was tiring and I was out of breath within the first round. I'm that unfit BUT it was great!! Feeling the wind against your face, working my under-utilised muscles... After 3 rounds, that's the max I can do now =(, I did some sit ups at the bench. Did about 30 and when I couldn't lift my adomen up any more, I just lay flat on the bench and stare up into the dark blue sky.

I felt a moment of peace... time stood still as I counted the stars in the sky.. I stopped blinking my eyes.. I felt like I'm not on earth and is afraid that once I blink my eyes I'll be brought back down to reality. It is a nice reward after the strenuous exercise

I really should do this more often. Must try to maintain my health since now I seldom carry heavy bags and is cooped up in an air conditioned environment which is not very good for the body.

A piece of conversation with my dad that I found very funny:

While waiting for my mom's plane to touch down..

Dad (bored): Girl, let me see your palms.

I turned up my palms and let him see.

Dad: Eh, I see your palms got alot of lines lei.. You see mine.. Lesser lines now.. But last time got alot of lines..

I know what he was trying to get at i.e. I'll have alot of obstacles to overcome in my life. But I felt bored too due to the long wait so I wasn't feeling very chatty and patient.

Me (in a cynical tone): Ya, I'm not a licensed fortune teller but I see alot of lines on your palms. Duh!! You see lines because there are lines!! (roll eyes)
