Thirtieth Day -- Today is Saturday

The ROCK from RoHs. There are a few clock face to choose from. So far it seem to work for every function but the accuracy is questionable for some functions. However, I was very satisfied with many of its function. It does excellently well for the price I paid. 

I sat for 45 minutes on the massage chair. It helped to loosen the notches on my neck and the spine area. I felt good after the massage. 

Exercise

Before the exercise, I would wear the XOSS chest strap that would count my Heart Rate, which I set to beep if it reached 130 bpm. Just a safety precaution. Then I would play the classical music, sometimes Mozart. If I am at home, I uses a portable Bluetooth speaker which is link to either my mobile or the iPad. Next I would wear the ROCK, the smart watch from RoHs. On the mobile, I would fire up the Google Fit and the Nike Run Club. Set it to run when I start the quick walk. The Nike apps, has huge black text and yellow background. So my Heart Rate was figured prominently on the centre of the app. 

The various functions of the watch and the interface is self explanatory. 

The back of the watch showing the various hardware tools.

As I was walking, after about 2000 steps I felt the first prickling, before I finished 4500 steps, which the apps reported about 2.4km, I felt about 4 prickling in total. My heart rate was hoovering about 95 beat per minute. 

I am trying to perfect the BaDuanJin and perhaps I would spent more time reading and practise the exercise. 

My sleep was not very good according to the Rock smartwatch. I was only secondary. I had been trying to obtain a better sleep reading but I had not manage to achieve it. I will doing more analysis and reading to improve my reading.

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...
