Reluctant Running

Just came back from a jog around Jurong Lake. I must admit I've been trying to put it off, but Guozhi finally convinced me to don my sneakers again. Ran around 3km with him before my wheezing reached alarming volumes and prompted me to wimp out. Evidently, months of neglect have taken their toll.

Nevertheless, between desperate gasps for air, I did manage to take in the scenery. Frankly, I was quite impressed: the area around the lake has been converted into a beautiful, sprawling park. The last time I was there, it was still a boggy marshland where only fishing hobbyists and mosquitos hung out. Way to go, NParks!

And now I'm just cooling down before a nice hot shower and dinner, to be followed by the Merseyside derby. Today may not have been very productive, but I do feel satisfied. Life's too short to be spent whizzing around all the time.

Update - I had the fortune to witness the most awful Liverpool performance for a long time. Guess some days things just don't go according to plan. Still, life goes on...
