I guess that wasn't the unhealthy hazse afterall because there were many others on the road jogging too. As usual, i went rounds at the Punggol Close - the plain lands facing my flats. I tried hard to go round and round... had to push myself always to go one more round, another round, again and again. SOon after 5 rounds, i finally gave up. I continued to jog down Punggol Field, reaching the TPE, and cross over to Sengkang. Continue to go straight and find my way to sengkang east way. Din get lost anyway, continue to jog, some ups and downs, but still managed to continue without stopping... all the way to Upper serangoon road, i turn left to go back to where i stay. But i was almost giving up already lor.... true enough, as i came to the TPE flyover before i reach Punggol East, i stopped jogging. My arms were sore and numbed.... first time.... i took out my phone and look at my walkmate... it was merely 6.5km.... sians again lor.... why always run so far and it's still only so short distance i went hahahaa..... and up at the bridge i look down at the busy TPE, it was almost an hour since i started jogging. The sun was almost up and the dew was still thick. i took a panoramic picture for us to see... and here it was.... - far right is where i stay (Sundial).... so small hahahaa... but from where i was standing, it was only less than 500m to home lor...
Standing on top of the bridge here, breathing was great! As i jog towards the bridge, the super peaceful ears earlier on was slowly covered with noise from the highway TPE down there.... Cars and buses started getting their day by and zoom past. It was first time i realise wht expressways smells like! I guess because it was still early, tires of all vehicles just started and guess what? I smell hot burning tires!... the burning of hot wheels of vehicles that zoom past me!... and i believe most of the burning smell must have came from the highway down there since the traffic beside me up here is still clear.
So that was how feeling was like jogging early in the morning, from quiet to noisy, from dark to sun rise, from clear air to smoky burnt smell. But when can i every finish my 10km to be ready for the 10km marathon?? How do i dare to try the 42km in a year or 2? No idea at all whether i can or cannot make it! hahaha
Another scenario i saw as i was jogging past a residential area in Sengkang was i saw a maid washing car when the sky was still dark... prob 6.30am... i vividly remembered it was a grey MPV she was washing. Well, washing car can be said one of common tasks for maids in singapore nowadays, ya i know... but what surprised me was when i tried to take a longer look, there was a woman sitting in the car!obviously that was the owner, she had thick curly short hair and quite "muscular" in size. She was pin-pointing to the maid, most likely instructing her what she should do and how she should be cleaning the car, then she waved at the maid to close the door for her and most likely she is inside blowing aircon to herself lor! GOODNESS!! It's such a mean thing to see early in the morning. Probably she is new and is learning from the owner, but if i m the owner, definitely i will not be as bad and mean as to be sitting inside blowing aircon at me and shaking legs lor... and if i m the maid, i would be deep-hating the owner sitting inside blowing aircon watching over wht i m doing lor!!! Although there are so many possibilities to why she should be sitting inside the car, but i don feel good personally tt she should be inside the car while the maid was working hard for her! Sometimes, i wonder is it the life of a maid is really damn tough till they got to withstand such mean bosses and be made use of in this manner, OR is it just their retribution and should be treated this way?? And as i wonder, i relaly think if i have a maid, i will most likely be bullied by the maid, get tricked by her or let her run over my head without realising it, because i m not the type who dare to ill-treat them this way OR willing to be fierce to them lor... so...? no maids for me better la... cannot make it hahaha...
