The Planes are finally back!!!
I love taking my walks at the beach and pre-covid (it feels the same as saying BC and AD era these days!!), I would see the planes fly overhead in quick succession. I found them fascinating and always tried to identify them from their logos. It was a common sight to see the constant flurry…

MINI SERIES: DAY 9 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
Today being the rare weekend, where I did not have to rush back home, my plan was to cover as much distance today as I could push myself. By now, unconsciously, I am enjoying the hike more rather than calculating the distance covered. Only when I started to chronicle my experience, I realised the distance…

MINI SERIES: DAY 7 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
Yay!!! Finally covered 100 kms and what a spectacular view to celebrate the 100 kms. This feat was really special to me since last month I had completed a self-challenge to walk 100 kms in 14 days and now I had walked 100 kms in 7 days (not consecutive). (If you have not read the…

MINI SERIES: DAY 6 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE

MINI SERIES: DAY 5 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
This route was a special . I walked this one on my birthday. Though I wanted to stay curled up in bed, I was equally tempted to walk this route. Being on leave from work, I started off on this walk a little later than usual after a beautiful birthday wake-up call. (If you have…

MINI SERIES: DAY 4 WALKING THE ROUND ISLAND ROUTE
After the scare on Day 3, I decided no more walking at 5 am in the dark all alone and changed my schedule to start walking from 6 am. It meant I would cover less distance but safety comes first!! (If you have not read the previous series, I am attempting to walk the 150…

Mini Series: Day 2 Walking the Round Island Route
If you have read the previous post of Day 1, I am attempting to walk the 150 km Round Island Route in Singapore. Day 1 was incredibly tough and it took me a few days to recover from the dehydration. My walking buddy suggested that we walk early morning from 5 am to 8 am…

Mini Series: Day 1 Walking the Round Island Route
After completing the 36 kms, Coast to Coast trail in December, I had challenged myself to walk 100 kms in 15 days last month. It was tough but I managed to walk 10 -11 kms on an average and completed it in 14 days. Now ofcourse, I had to level up to something even crazier…

Crawling in gecko filled tunnels
I am ok. I got up, looked in the mirror and smiled. One day at a time. A few weeks ago, an article by Sunrise Odyssey about the abandoned tunnels at Marsiling (Singapore) caught my attention. An avid horror novel reader, I was all intrigued as I started researching about it. Believe it or not,…

A visit to the Coney Island
If you are thinking of the Coney Island in New York, think again. This is its namesake in Singapore. Surprisingly my girl agreed to join me on my walk this morning. (wonders never cease!!). I had been meaning to visit Coney Island after reading great reviews about it. I am part of this amazing “Singapore…
