All is quiet on New Year's day

Islamic New Year today and coincidentally it is also the Chinese New Year cos the Chinese also follow the lunar calendar. Trying to increase my spiritual needs but it don't seem to go very far. Spend the day at the beach with my wife's family at Sentosa. I thought I try to swim from the dolphin lagoon part to the swinging bridge part. My first attempt was a failure . On my second attempt, I manage to go till halfway and I was out of breath. I was thinking that if someone were to rescue me it would definitely be very embarrassing so I huff and I puff and somehow manage to make it to the breakwater part . I was panting when I got out of the water. Man and I thought I could go for the Biathalon with 1.5km swim.... I couldn't even hack a 150m swim!
