Although we are only about halfway through 2019, this is already shaping up to be a eventful – both in the happy and sad sense – year for me.
With the birth of my daughter, passing of my dog, and having been in the same job for 5 years, and the need for a long-term abode… there are really quite a few things I need to sort out. Perhaps there are equivalents of Marie Kondo’s decluttering, but for the mind, that I need to do!?
Been sitting in Draft mode since 3/2/2011 so I figured I should let it loose finally!
People often say that you need to know where you are from before you know where you are going to.
Now, because of my Australian accent and, strangely, not-so-genuinely-Chinese looks*, I am often asked where I was from? This happens even right here in Singapore, a place I have been living and working in for close to 9 years.
May be a little late now but wishing everyone who comes across this site a brilliant 2016 ahead!
Presumably this period is the time for making new year resolutions and what not. 🙂 Well, one of mine is to remind myself not to ignore small details, so as not to delay writing until a grand vision/message comes to mind. What this means is to expect to see more frequent and smaller snippets posted this year.
Bye for now!
Just finished reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future: Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned by Michael J. Fox which I gather is an expansion of the speech he delivered to college graduates(?). It’s a small volume that many can probably finish in a night. I had known about about his struggles with Parkinson’s Disease but really had no ideas what a remarkable character he is. Currently going through some trying times but his attitude is really uplifting and inspirational. Now I am looking forward to reading his memoir soon too.
It’s coming towards the end of the second week since I started the 5:2 “fastdiet” plan. So far I seem to be coping fine. Two observations: it’s important to get enough rest the night before a fast day, and generally it’s more likely to feel hunger at night. Naturally it’s best to avoid talk about or see food (e.g. cooking programs on TV, bread for next morning’s breakfast, etc.) during these times… However, I do note that here is a good incentive not to miss breakfast – which I tend to do – especially the morning after a fast day. 😉
Finally a self-note: to explore different recipes apart from salads for dinner from now on!
