audiobook

With the onslaught of COVID-19 pandemic, and imposition of "Circuit Breaker" to control the community spread of the infection, my daily workload has decreased significantly.
The number of patients who turn up in the clinic drops drastically. Now I have ample spare time to do some journal readings in the clinic, and leave for home early.

Has been doing almost daily evening "brisk" walking exercises, along the river bank of Geylang River, that flows towards Marina Bay, since end Feb 2020. The exercise routines take up 1-2 hours (depending on which routes I take). To make full use of the time, I have been listening to audiobooks while on brisk walking (have managed to complete at least 7 audiobooks so far).

National Library of Singapore has a hugh collection of free audiobooks that can be downloaded into handphone.

Listening to audiobooks can be quite challanging at time - the name of the characters can be quite confusing and hard to remember at times.
I prefer Chinese to English audiobooks. It is much easier to comprehend, particularly when the language is very poetic.
So far, I listen mostly to Fictions. Non-fiction audiobooks are simply too dull and mind boggling.

Whilst listening to audiobooks is great, sometimes it shut us out from engaging in daily conversations with friends/family members. This can be quite rude at times.
