I’ve taken up walking. I can’t run, can’t climb, can’t do squat so I walk. For long-ish distances. Last night was the 4th time I did this.

On 22nd Apr I did 8.71 km, 11 km on 23rd Apr and 3.73 km on 24th. Thought I should take it easy on the third walk.

Here’s last night’s route. I started out at about 6.30pm.

Out onto Club St, into Mohamad Ali Lane, back alleys onto South Bridge Rd.

On the north side of South Bridge Rd until Elgin Bridge, follow the west bank of Singapore River northwards until Clemenceau Ave. There were some folks setting up a light show on the empty field. Might head back another time to see what’s going on.

Northwards on Clemenceau Ave to Penang Rd. Crossed over to Istana Park and headed towards Buyong Rd and made my way to Cavenagh Rd. Some event at Istana last night. Crowd control was out in force in front, complete with uniformed temperature-takers. Ha. Swine flew.

Cavenagh Rd until Bukit Timah Rd. Took down names of the developments on Cavenagh Rd:

Cavenagh Mansions
Waterscape at Cavenagh (construction)
Cavenagh Gardens
Cavenagh Lodge
Cavenagh Fortuna
Townhouse Apartments
Cavenagh Court

Lots of originality there in the names. There’s a large break between Fortuna and Townhouse. I do like the location of Cavenagh Court.

Bukit Timah Rd on to Serangoon Rd and into Syed Alwi Rd. It was close to 8pm by then. Lots of night life here in Little India. Something I might not have noticed before but there were lots of stalls in the side lanes selling Thai ($1.40) and Malaysian ($1.50) coconuts. Why were Malaysian ones more expensive?

Out onto Jalan Besar until Rochor Canel Rd. Went onto Albert St which was now a pedestrian mall, until Victoria St. The Iluma (what a name) was now opened, may come back another time to explore.

Walked through the Central Library onto North Bridge Rd and followed that all the way back to Elgin Bridge.

Went onto Circular Rd, then Lorong Telok. Crossed South Canal Rd into George St. Crossed Pickering St into Great Eastern building, and walked through China Square.

Crossed Cross St (haha) and got back onto Club St.

Reached home about 9.30pm. Distance walked was 10.31 km according to Google Earth.

is discovering your superhero power, and using it for good.

is apparently in my blood. Unable to explain it but it does feel right. New diet day. No red meats for a month.

Breakfast: Mocha + Caramel biscuits @Highlander, Watermelon slice @IP.

Lunch: Fish noodles, lots of noodles @Maxwell. Correlated quantity of noodles with the sluggishness in the afternoon. Yoguru mixed small cup + wheat germ @Raffles City. Nipped bits of crispbread @Suntec.

Dinner: Wholemeal + Marmalade @home, Thunder Tea Rice @Vivo, Strawberry Milkshake @McD WCP.

Yes, I will continue to consume white meats, fish and eggs. I am generally OK with consuming the flesh of another animal.

Remember the movie The 13th Storey? This reminds me of that movie.

Time to update my Firefox search plugin.

My next phone is taking a long time. Truth is, I don’t really know which I want to go for. Nokia E71 (Q2 maybe?). Blackberry Pearl or Curve (no HSDPA). While I like both, neither are ideal.

A poor, confused advertising suit from the agency responsible for an airline’s foiled cheese-related communications was obviously thinking of work when she recently blurted out to me - where’s your Mozzarella Firefox?
