Nineteenth Day — In the park with wife



My temperature for last evening was 37.2 and this mornign it was 36.2, a difference of 1 degree. I tested several days, the result were the same, a difference of a degree celsius. I was not staying air conditioned room unlike the hospital so that might be one of the factor. The body was perhaps colder in the early morning and warmed up through the day. 



We were at the Bishan Park by about 7:10am. I started to walk around the lake while my wife did two rounds and then continue photographing the birds. Again it was a good sun rise with warm and glory. I used her camera and did a few shots of the Bishan River, or some also called it the Kallang River.


I tried to get the body to be accustom to jogging by walking for the whole circuit except for about 50 meters I would jog. I monitored the heart rate and saw that I never went higher that 130 Bpm. The shoes were giving blister above the big toe. It was going well, for about 4,000 steps, until I felt that there were some pricking at the tongue when I landed on the heel while jogging. I was careful not to aggravate the situation and tried to reduce jerking. Eventually I figured perhaps I better walk. I did bigger steps and I wore a headphone that played jogging music, all were western genre, which I was quite surprised as it was a Music apps from the Huawei mobile. They seems to pro the western world in this respect, unfortunate that the daughter was refused permit to leave Canada for years only until recently. History, according to Nietzsche is eternal recurrence, perhaps of human folly. I hope the prickly thingy would not last forever, otherwise I might have to give up running.




I stopped the early morning walk at about 7,500 steps. It took me almost an hour. Perhaps it was the bigger steps that I did compared to yesterday’s workout. Breakfast was mushroom soup from Campbell, Shiitake mushroom fried with eggs, and white bread. After breakfast we set up the rice cooker to boil congee before we went to Macritchie Reservoir. Crimson Sunbirds were the resident bir

Thirty Eight -- A break from the routine

Image
I had decided that Sunday to be dedicated to my other pleasure, photography. The routine of everyday can take a rest. I went out early to photograph birds and nature. Bishan Park, my favourite site, was looking warm and welcoming. Already many people were there, some running, some cycling, some walking and a few photographing with heavy, huge, camouflaged lens. I admired their strength and endurance to haul the weight and held them up to chase after that split moment. The lens and camera are expensive too. I used a bridge camera that is light in weight and my pocket. I hardly felt the prickling during bird hunting, perhaps I was too engrossed, or it was really so. I took all my meal at home and shuttled to the garden again after my breakfast and lunch. It was amazing to watch the bird going by their beings. Finally after two months, I was back to my routine, photographing. Birds are always alert, conscious of their environment and ever ready to take the flight of fright. I had learned ...

Twenty-Third day — reading cursive writing

Image
We went out for morning exercise at 7am. I walked at a slower pace, did about 3500 steps, then wind down with BaDuanJin. There were still some prickling at the tongue while I was walking. Q We saw the Flamed Back Woodpecker, hopping and scanning the bark of the tree trunk. Beautifully lighted in the golden light. She photographed, while I continued my walk. There were many kind park users who love to collect the crust of bread and spread them on selected grass patch, disregarding the no-feeding sign or the regulation. Previously I ever saw a beautiful yellow Oriole choked on the piece of bread. The Myna and the pigeon, mostly the black and grey bird know how to break it down before swallowing them. A proliferation of Myna and Pigeon can impact on the population of other birds population that are necessary for an ecologically balanced nature. Beauty is perhaps the only possible measure of that balance.  I always believe in sharing food with birds or animals but not the wrong kind of...
