How to make time?

I went swimming on Wed morning, and again this morning. Actually just back from SRC swimming pool. Realised that it is only in the morning where swimmers can actually swim lengths, as they installed ropes for swimmers to swim breaths at about 830 in the morning.

Waking up early and going for a swim, abeit a slow one, actually gives me more time in dwelling in my thoughts. Did 20 laps, but wasn't concentrating on swimming, but rather letting thoughts swim about in my mind. Thinking about what i want, what i feel about stuff. So many different thoughts swam in my head as i stroked across the pool.

It feels good to be able to think, without much interuption. Feels that i have more time. Is that the reason behind meditation? hmmm...

On my way back, i spied a group of elders practising Taiji. On an impulse, i trotted over and asked about whether they have a course of something. Well... its $50/3 months, every Friday and Sat at 7am. I will be heading down tomorrow morning to learn ba. How about that? making more time? =)
