Swimming at the club

In my previous post titled Kelab Rekreasi Petroliam, I talked about Augustine and I going to the gym and playing badminton regularly. After a few badminton sessions with me (note : with me, not with his mates), Augustine started complaining that I was such a bore to play badminton with. Well, I admit I am not good at badminton but I did enjoy the sessions a lot (which Augustine very much doubted sobs).

So we moved on to the pool. Now, he's madly in love with it LOL and so we've been going swimming almost everyday! We're not that good at it like so many regulars at the pool swimming laps and laps but we do enjoy swimming at our own pace. Being in the pool is also pretty relaxing, I am sure if we had any stress, we would be able to de-stress in the pool. After swimming, we usually shower at the club and then read newspapers in the club lounge. A pretty good way to unwind after work right ;-)

Evening walk

We went for a walk this evening. There is this lake about 10 minutes' walk from home. The ducks hang out here sometimes, otherwise we see them running all over the residential area! The residents come here for brisk walking, jogging, cycling and fishing. I can go running here but I still prefer the gym la.

Kelab Rekreasi Petroliam

Augustine joined Kelab Rekreasi Petroliam (formerly known as Kelab Shell Lutong) recently and I was pretty impressed with the sports facilities they have here, although it's highly unlikely I will be using them all. Sofar I've only gone to the gym, it's called "Why Gym", not sure why! And the badminton courts (air-conditioned!). And we sometimes read newspapers in the lounge. The pool looks good and I can't wait to try it next (waiting for Augustine to get a new pair of goggles). They've also got a playground for the kids, restaurant, karaoke lounge and snooker etc, meeting rooms and fields and courts for beach volleyball, netball, basketball, football, futsal, tennis, squash, hockey, etc. They also organise aerobics, dancing, cooking, yoga, karate, chess for kids etc. And there are events held here from time to time as well, for example we came here for Augustine's company Raya open house last Sunday for makan-makan ;-)
