.....times of refreshing.....

Nowadays I have cut down my long runs due to heel pains which I got it since April this year. However, I still run almost daily for short distance but once a while I do a 10KM, where I just did one last Thursday. And, running seems more fun now with Pokemon catching. I started the app and started running in order to hatch the 'egg'. Then, when something appeared on the screen, I will just slow down and take a look at it to see if its worth catching. There was this evening last Thursday where I spotted a rare pokemon while running and I went to look for it (and deviated from my running route). I finally found it and caught a 'Ninetales'. It was fun though my pace has suffered a lot! Even my colleague was jokingly scolding me for ignoring my pace. Well, I told them I just want to have a relaxing run and enjoy it while playing the game. I would end at the most popular place to catch the pokemons where there are crowds around there before heading home. Anyway, this game is very popular here in SG though it definitely affected my training. OK la, I haven't sign up for any runs till next March 2017 for Sundown Marathon, as I wanted to heal my heels. Maybe will do one more this year.

Oh, we discovered a newly opened bistro in Bandar Seri Alam in JB and though of trying it. It was quite a full house. I like the ambiance and it was very comfortable inside there. However, the food choices are not very suitable for us as well as it is quite expensive. Other than that, the food was great!

I don't really play darts but was introduce to the game recently and it's really so much difference from I thought. Unlike those sharp pin which can hurt you and thrown onto the wooden board, it was more of an arcade game with different themes.  It calculates the points for you, there are sounds when you hit it especially the bull eyes or triple and double rings. You can play over the net to challenge your mates! I saw one guy was playing against a Japanese who resided in Japan and that was so amazing. 

The dart board was made of plastic with full of tiny holes to hold the darts while the tip of the darts are made of plastic and safer!! It's quite an affordable game where it cost only a dollar for one game and the darts are affordable too. I just bought a set which cost me around S$50 with a casing. Well, I am sure there might be expensive ones but the set that I bought was good enough for me, and it's heavy too. The heavier it is, the more accurate it seems but it all boils down to skills and consistency, just like bowling or archery. However, I gotta change the tips since it is made of plastic after some games as well as  the flights ( the wings at the back). However, all these are very affordable as it cost a few dollars for a big packet!

It's great to have a game over beer or coffee to wind down after work especially on Fridays. And, yes, I found a new hobby though I still run, workout but play lesser badminton now.
