Inspiration

Whenever I am not paragliding over the French Alps, I'd dive down the cliffs of Angel Falls in Venezuela. Just joking...

I feel it's quite effective to unwind the way I used to after a hard day at work. Whenever I am occupied with work, stress and all, I do my runs and jump into the pool to get new inspirations. It is liberating and refreshing too.

I am still working on my research and have yet to write anything for my dissertation. I needed inspiration. So I stepped out of character as a "researcher" and worked out the way I used to on the roads, treadmill and swimming pool.

1500m swim

I realised my swimming time has deteriorated badly due to the lack of training. None since going to Cambridge and that's taken a toll on me. I went back to the pools recently and found my shoulder and right arm all stiff and unable to push any faster, as if being chased in a dream and not able to run any faster.

I don't know if I could still take the triathlons with stride but even if not, it is still a good way to unwind and get new inspirations, which are essential to finishing the things I am supposed to finish in Malaysia.
