“You don’t choose the time. The time chooses you. either you seize what may turn out to be the only chance you have, or you decide you’re willing to live with the knowledge that the chance has passed you by.” - Ted Kennedy
Midlife crisis, that’s why my wife describe what I’m going through now. By definition, it is a loss of self-confidence and a feeling of anxiety or disappointment that can occur in early middle age. Although there are aspects of it that match, I can’t say for sure. In any case, I am taking some action. I have applied for time off from work every Friday, till the end of the year. That is a full 4 months of 4 working days per week. And during this extra day of break from work per week, I need to find ways to re-energize.
So, about 1 year back, I made a Youtube video that I have lost about 12kg of my weight in 3 months. Now, about 1 year later, I have officially gained back the weight I lost... Rome isn’t built in one day, but he can certainly be destroyed very quickly… I putting the blame on work stress. When I lost weight a year ago, I was on sabbatical leave from work. But after I went back to work, it very much breaks my daily schedule. This is on top of the hectic and stressful nature of my work. Dieting and taking time for exercise haven’t really been my priority. It’s about time that I seriously address this elephant in the room.
So, this Nasi Lemak store (The Coconut Club) recently won the ‘Michelin Bib Gourmand’. Decided to give it a try. It cost a whopping S$19.60. My verdict: Chicken thigh is very nice. Rice is ok. Good experience, but won’t try again.
Aug is, Singapore’s National day. Happen to catch 3 groups of Chinook and Apache helicopters carrying Singapore flag fly by during a rehearsal
So, i have recently try watching at least a movie every weekend. These are the treats I’ve prepared for our movie night. Ended up, i felt I get higher satisfaction from a cup of instant noodle
Some appreciation from my company this National Day.
August is also, my daughter’s birthday! Turned 2 this year. Brings me new joy everyday, as I watch her grows up.
