Summer Swims and Fruit Salads

Posted On Saturday, October 6, 2007 at at 9:32 PM by Alvin  

For the past five months, I have enjoyed my daily swims early in the morning, even during those record-breaking July hot hot months ! I managed to build up my physical tolerance and more importantly, my patience and have consistently swum 44 laps for much of September and October. Why 44 laps, I hear you ask. Good question my friends... I once read a news article about an 88 years old man doing 88 laps every day; and every year he would increase the lap count by one. Get it ?

But every good thing needs a rest sooner or later and I shall miss my Summer swims very much. The open pool will be closed from November onwards as it will get pretty cold. But I shall return ! Here is a picture of our pool downstairs and I am the black dot in the picture making the waves ;)
Running will be the sport for the coming cooler months. I am aiming to consistently run 10km every day till next Summer. One thing will not change though : the fruit salad we have every morning ! We have had this habit of eating a bowl of fruits each morning probably since we left Italy in 1998. One great treat in moving back to live in Asia is the abundance of seasonal fruits that can be bought easily in the local markets. Take a look, yummy !
