Keep Walking...

I woke up to a very wet Christmas eve today... Cold air, warm bed & blanket... and snoozed in bed for another 10 minutes before getting to work... Shiok! It's been my best sleep so far this week. I like to think that it was due to having some exercise last night.

Last night was the 3rd time this year that I walked home from office. I took about 1.5 hrs to walk from Raffles Place to Geylang via Nicholl Highway. It feels good! I've been having big celebratory meals for the past weekend and think its only right to burn off some more calories before the next wave of heavy meals come... haha...

I recalled the first time I walked home from office. I was feeling lousy, but i can't remember over what... I just know I need to sweat it out and clear my mind. So I walked from Raffles Place to Victoria Concert Hall to Peninsula Plaza (stopover at 7-Eleven for water) to Raffles City Shopping Mall to Bugis Junction to Jalan Sultan to Lavendar MRT station to Kallang MRT station then eventually Geylang. This whole trip took me more than 2 hrs, 1 bottle of Ice Mountain and lotsa sweat! But it was a very refreshing experience. I got to see a few interesting places which I would usually pass in my daily life i.e. Arab Street, the fruit stalls along Geylang Road... Another comforting note is that my beloved Clare called me along the way to check that I'm ok. Clare also waited for me to return home then took me out for a late dinner. All in all, it's a not bad night :)

So I think I will continue to do this walking regime more regularly in future... since my only new year resolution for 2009 is to lose weight! hehe...
