Dash

Mother had a very 'busy' Saturday morning last week. She was sharing with me how she had spent her morning that day.

She went for an early morning walk instead of joining her friends for their daily 气功 routine at the basketball court. She believes that the dramatic rise in her cholesterol level (particularly the 'bad' low-density lipoprotein aka 'LDL' level) as revealed by her recent blood test, is due to reduced aerobic exercises.

So she has decided that she will now go back to brisk-walking in place of the 气功 routine which she had taken up to replace her previous brisk-walking exercises.

Incidentally, she is full of praises for the new footpath that has been put in place along our side of the PIE (I haven't seen the footpath at all yet). She said it is very useful and she plans to use the footpath more often when the entire improvement works are completed.

After her exercise, she made a beeline for the market. When she was done with her marketing, she brought all the grocery back home and then took a quick shower.

Then, she quickly shoved all the fish and meat stuff into the refrigerator before rushing out again, this time to join M's parents for breakfast at the market. (M's parents quite often meet up with Mother to have breakfast together, sometimes at our market and other times at Geylang East.)

Then, after breakfast, Mother came back home first, before heading over to HA's place to attend to the aircon servicing which was done by about 11am.

Mother then returned home to deal with the fish and meat stuff she had bought earlier in the morning. By the time she was done with all these washing, cutting and slicing etc, it was already noon.

Phew! It sure sounded like a rather dash-y morning to me! But it felt good afterwards, to have accomplished so much, all in one morning. Or so she said.
