Family Workout Day

Today was really eventful and very healthy :)

Last week, my mom suggested going swimming with me and dear and i was quite surprised back then. But i thought that it wld be nice to bond together while doing some relaxing exercise. Furthermore, mom and i haven't really been exercising and since she can't cycle and doesnt like running, i think swimming would be really good for her. It has also been a while since i last swam, so i thought it might be good to start swimming and build up my lungs and immune system before i going for exchange.

The weather, however, was initially disappointing cos it rained heavily last night and it was quite chilly this morning. Thus, we called it off. My brother wanted to go as well. Then i thought maybe this's God's plan cos dear was sneezing the whole morning and still suffering from sinusitis. So, after lunch, we watched 'Supersize Me' at my place together. After the movie, the weather looks pretty good and we were deciding between walking, swimming and running. I started to itch for swimming...and my mom was agreeable, and dear was really beeming cos he loves to swim.

The 3 of us then headed down to swim and it was really fun and slightly rigorous. I swam around 26 laps, and dear swam 36 laps. My legs felt a little sore after that and i was happy since that means that i've worked out. My mom swam quite a bit too, and we had a nice time talking while resting, and having fun observing people and poking fun at them haha. It was a great experience and we all enjoyed ourselves. Perhaps we could swim more often! Plus, the swim was quite scenic since my mom is a changi beach club member and we managed to see some sunset. Thank God for that.

Mable cooked chicken rice for us for dinner and it was splendid. The 6 of us (my family + dear + bro's gf jennifer) ate a sumptuous meal :) And dear and i tagged along with my parents to east coast park for a 45 mins walk after dinner. It was good!

Today was really enjoyable and i really wanna thank dear for taking time to bond with my family today. My prayer and concern now is for dear to recover from his sinus infection cos it has been haunting him for weeks now. Really hope the antibiotics work this time round, and dear's immune system to improve.

Thank God for today! ;)
