A-maze-ing Woodlands

Today went for a jog.

Decided last minute that I should go on a new route, a new challenging route that will take me through lengthy Woodlands Ave 12. This new route is un-ran, un-tested and un-planned. As the saying goes "failing to plan is planning to fail". Well, I did failed, as a matter of fact.

My run starts at about 9.45pm from my place at Woodlands Dr 14. Run towards Woodlands Ave 12 and up the long road towards "3M" factory. Then made a left, towards Admiralty MRT. By the time I passed the MRT, my stop-watch reads 35++ mins. Initially, I had hope to hit Causeway Point before I made another left to go home. However, I decided to take a cut after I passedby Admiralty MRT as I know I will not make it to Causeway Point.

After I made a left after Admiralty MRT, the unexpected happens. I got lost inside the housing estate. Darn it, I go 2 rounds around Woodlands Ring Road before I ended up at Admiralty MRT again! Darn, I decided to hit right back into the housing estate and found out again that I am going in circles!

Saw a NPC but too shy to ask for directions. Saw a cab but felt stupid to hail a cab home. Saw a passing police car, felt even more stupid to ask for a ride home.

After going another round, with all my strength down the drain, I saw a familiar landscape, the 888 Plaza! I was crying with joy! From there managed to navigate the location of my sweet home, which is another 15 mins walk-jog away!!

So, after going through this Amazing Jog round Woodlands, I will plan my running routes more carefully for my future training runs.. the feeling of getting lost (in your own neighbourhood somemore!!?!) is simply F**K-UP!!!
