Me Time!

[zac's mum]

Yes we do that too. Old enough (and responsible enough) liao.


Btw recently DS gave my phone number to some friends that he wanted to stay in touch with, and they have been spamming my WhatsApp…I’m quite amused looking at their “conversations”…lots of bo liao stuff (“Sup, bro”, “Bruh”, “latest meme”)…I guess it will be a trial run before secondary school…I’m super reluctant to give him his own HP…wasting time & bad for eyesight too…

[MrsKiasu]

They can be on their own for few years already…just that haha…next time ba will have chance de la.


Talking abt hp, my own msg/contact going down and down on the list coz we sharing the hp…so many lor but we only read own msgs.

[zac's mum]

Oh, good to know I’m not the only parent sharing HP with their kids!

[MrsKiasu]

Yes I think not too bad. The younger one if given a choice think she would like to have one hp to her own but not the elder one coz she can chk her msg fm her laptop if I m using the hp…just last week the elder told the younger to quit from a new chat group when she accidentally clicked, went in and saw some msgs.

Just got to know a person looks around 70 plus minus cycle for at least 8km one way to work. Dunno her exact starting point so just use GPS to point to that town. I walk 1.5km one way to my frequent further supermarket..I m wondering if 8km 1 way cycling is a difficult task...compared to my walking I see doable but I usually go to that town by car using expressway and that person at this age :sad:

With a good bicycle (light and fast) 8km is no problem. Any uphill slopes are easily conquered with good gears. I find cycling less tiring than walking to be honest. I sweat less due to the constant wind blowing in my face.

But I sweat so much more after stopping! I don't mind cycling for leisure (not that I've done that for a long time), but I wouldn't use it for commuting or shopping in Singapore. I used to when I was a student overseas, and had the opposite problem for several months a year - too cold!

ya like what zac mum said, a good bike with good gear not much issue
those cheap cheap bike, takes more efforts - this is exercising
if my hub exercise /cycle with his tri bike, the avg dist they clock is 50+ km (consider little) inorder to exercise n burn fats for body .
so he tell me better to walk n dun buy good bike , unless i want to cycle 20km

[MrsKiasu]

I saw before push bic up when go upslope. Maybe good for exercising just that need be careful when on the road. Reflex slower as we age.


I used to walk out almost like alternate days if not everyday on weekdays but since last year it has reduced alot due to more online buying and sun too strong bad for skin I feel. Choose evening/night time to walk if need to…and I just realised it’s Qingming and I been walking outside sometimes near 11pm…very quiet and I told myself not this late next time.

For me, ME time starts as early as 6 am to rest and eat breakfast which also helps me to get a good start to the day:)
