Re: Turning 40, A new page a new begining...

Ya, I am 40 soon.. The big 40... time really flies...
Begin 40, i hope i am much wiser and can handle things better...

I guess i started to understand myself better. I am the sort that love changes and welcome changes...

I quited my job last week, a job that has provided me with freedom and OK income.
I had plenty of personal time and able to do what i like.

I switch my career path. From a designer role to a manager role.
Now i will look after 7 designers. Told Kat about it over the MSN. And she told me ...
deal with people are never easy... Now i just hope that my easy going character can really make my life easier. My ex GM once told me that i am a good leader material... i am sure he is right...hahaha...

I hope my boss is able to find a replacement soon so that i can go over earlier. I am really looking forward to the new environment. Sometime i am not sure if i make the right choice of giving up an easy job and move on to this new role...But in my heart, i told myself..."Yes, it is time to go..."

After several months of hard training and work out. I had really tone up my body, although
there is tummy fat still but it already give me a rather flat tummy.. And i love it...
I still have about 14 sessions to go? anyway i think i will complete all my seesions before i starts my new job.

Without my car, i have also getting use to taking the public transport. Thanks to all the convenient buses and MRT in Singapore. It really makes my life easiler to switch from driving to a "commoner"( as my friend eugene put in). I really amaze of the many bus route that brings me from my house to gym at novena, shopping in orchard or new office to gym... I simply love it...

Yes the new 40 in sept. I am also celebrating with Moon in Bangkok...Our second trip since many years ago... Another get away and exciting food & shopping...

Here i come... my big 40!!

Post Tioman Trip- June22-25

I am amazed by myself...I really can sleep... hahaha..

Yes... i almost sleep my way through the whole trip.. from afternoon nap to night sleep.
I think i never sleep so much in my life. I guess i really sleep deprived :P

Tioman trip was ok, afterall i had been there so many time.

But it is still fun, to go with my nephew and niece. They are such a joy, still innocent and fun to play with. The food was not too bad... Overall a good rest & relax...

Had my 8th PT training on Sunday. I still enjoy the sessions and very tempted to sign up another 10 sessions.. well will see how then... I love how i look now...hehehe...

Back to work, life still goes on... When is my next holiday huh???

My life so far,,,,

Yes, i am starting to get use to life without my love....

Planning my route around trains and buses... Actually it was not that bad, as i have more time to read or listen to my favourite music, on my way to work or workout.

I guess with the help of an iphone apps it really helps a lot. It tells me what time the next bus will reach... and whether i need to run for it....hahaha... yeah..i did a 100m dash before just to catch a 2 mins arriving bus...:P

Another changes will be my workout routine... after i had started my PT session.. i need less sleep and was able to wake up very early in the morning. It helps me in a way that i have more time to prepare my breakfast and get into office before 9am.

Now i am looking forward to this coming Wed, cos i am travelling to tioman island with yong( my brother)& wife and the kids... and Moon of course... can't remember this is the how many time i been there... I have always love tioman... :)

This will be a good break as it is a 4 days 3 nite stay with one day on our own..:)

Hope i can post some photos next time I blog..

Love all and world peace...

Yesterday was my third PT lesson... feels good and pain at the same time. Cruz said that was because my tight is not develop yet and i should feel better as time goes. I trust him.. who else can i trust right....

I am still conditioning my body... honestly i felt is a bit waste of money as TRX lesson are more ex but i am still not ready for it yet... But still i feels good overall... I like how i feel now...

Today is the day...

Today is my first day of training... And guess what??

Not enough rest and recover... I wonder how am i going to go through the pain again and again...

But i am still looking forward to My trainner...so cute...:)

Getting in Shape

ok ok...i am not so out of shape ok...
I got to cali after so many months of absent... While i was doing my sitting down...riding a stationally bike..a cute PT came to me...asked me to try their TRX trial..which is for member only...

Being a nice guy...i go along...
wow it s super..it really stress me out... and i think it is not too bad...

Anyway after some talk and thinking, i sign up a 11 sessions of PT lesson.. Well, a form of encouragement and commitment for me to carry on my training...

Now no more lazy excuses.... Here i come, the cute PT!!!!

Merry go round...

It used to be easy.... now really is a game of luck. I can go round and round... looking for one..

Playing hard to get huh... *&(%*!)#&*(%$*

Today i parked my car beside the new food count which is about 2-3 mins walk...ya ya is not that far, i know... but when i almost reached office..... there are 2 empty lots there...ma de...

I downloaded a budget monitoring software onto my i-phone yesterday...trying to see where my money goes.....no more NEX... no more shopping... :)

Finally got the soft spot!!

Beside is the maple syrup toast that baked by my bread machine...it was supposed to be honey toast but i had run out of honey so well.. maple syrup is the option...it taste ok, with a tint of sweetness. which is not too bad...i guess a toast is a toast. as long as it is soft and nice..what else can you ask for...:)

The photo was taken in my study room as it was already pass midnight and i wanted the bread to cool down. It just cute that the south park characters on my table is looking at the bread.... hehehe....







I started experiment with my bread machine recently. And wala...last night i finally baked the best bun i ever baked. It was so soft and nice. It comes in 3 favour, 5 tuna buns, 3 butter buns & 2 cheese buns... REALLY like those selling at the bakery.

This really make my day.. although the day was almost over since i started at evening...










Yes... i am alone at home(office) now... slow moving day again...

enjoying my personal time, with music and internet....

What a wonderful world... shhh... dun tell my boss about this blog...

keep it to yourself, ok??

;)

How are you, derrick?

I am good, how are you?

It has been almost a year since i last blog... Life still goes on..

People that knows me, know that i like to explore hobbies and learn new "craft/skill". From early years of roller blading, tarot card reading, meditating, workout to recent baking... I want to fill my days with interesting stuffs..

Baking is fun but not that good to my health as i shouldnt take in too much plain flour & sugar. Anyway, i enjoy it... i even bought my own bread maker so that i can bake my own fresh bread and dun need to buy those commercial produced.

Work wise, Still same old company, coming to 3 years...Guess i am contented, with simple life style as long as the money is enough i guess i have nothing to complain..

Actually i just returned from a short trip. Yes, Malacca with Moon,Eugene,Jimmy and Sandy's family. A getaway is always good. Sometime i tend to think that, maybe i travelled too much when i was younger. I lose it... the excitement of travelling or the thrill of visiting new places...

I am like an old bird...tired and seeking comfort...

I have another trip in mid June. Going tioman with my brother's family and Moon.
It will be fun since Amos and Joy had grown up...:) I love them both.
Since i dun have any kids, i really adore them.

Coming Sept, i will turn 40..a big jump from the 30s straight into the...40s!!
haha...i hope life will be better for me.

Having good time...

We are having good time in office...me and my colleague, sandy. She is a close friend, sitting just beside me... we are both using iphone, so we manage to find time to play singapore mahjong through blue tooth...it was exciting and we both almost couldnt control our laughter.... just like two kids stealing candie and afraid of getting caught...

Now i am looking forward to my short trip to krabi.... courting down now....
4 more days of working....

i just hope it will not rain as much as in sg....

:)

A great toy- my new iphone

Damn cool huh ! This post is written using my iPhone.
What great toy..

Today is another wet raining day. Nice to have late wake up,
but seems that my body already custom to wake up at 8 in the morning.
I miss my younger day that I can sleep till 11... Heehee what a lazy pig..

i phone 4 mania

I queued 2 hrs for my i phone4 yesterday. Managed to sneak out of the office about lunch time and finally got it at 2pm...:P

A new toy for me... missed the last round with iphone 3G was out cos i was still holding on to my nokia E71 with contract. Actually Nokia E71 is not too bad a phone but just too small a screen to go online.... Iphone is really a cool toy huh... lots of free games and applications.. Another reasons, being i will be away next weekend...

Going to Krabi with moon. It will be more fun if i can play my iphone games when i am there holidaying...

I hope to take some cool pix and upload here, provided i am not too lazy...

Hooray! iphone4 YES!!

Losing Weight

I has been losing weight. From my usual 90kg. I am 82.9kg, weighted last night. A slimer me....well, the cause of the weight lose is due to my new found illness...

Gone to the doctor weeks ago. Found out that i am suffer from diabetes. Not a big deal in today's society but still is a change of lifestyle to me. I am now more aware of what i am eating and how much i can eat. I need to sort of give up my passion to baking too.... or maybe do some "light" baking with less sugar later on.

Been doing a lot of thinking.

Everyone will die one day. Is just the matter of how you will die. Now the answer to me....maybe of the complication to my this illness....

I am not sad, or keep asking myself " why me " but a relief... an answer to my question... I am glad that i have good friends surrounded me.

I was so touch with kat. Althought she is far away but her reply over skype really warm my heart and my eyes... i miss her dearly... cos she treat a friend with her warm heart and sincerity. I will make a trip up to KL soon! not a foodie trip now...
well, a shopping spree is still good enough to make me smile huh...:)

Been restless and cant seems to concentrate much in work. I hope it will be soon over and back to normal...

A word of advice to anyone that read this blog... dun eat too full or too much at meal... stay healthy and eat healthy! Take care...

Re: Happy in my life

I must say that, at this point of time. I am in my best. Having lived for 37 years, is now that i finally have some saving and a more stable life. I hope everyone will reach this stage sooner than me. The thing is i am not the saving type. I like to pamper myself with things i like... I should have bought my house if not because i spend so much on things that i dun need.

World peace..

Happy New Year, Sleepy head..

New year of 2009. A new begining. Every year a new year resolution. This year, I am wishing.... I want to be more active in the gym. Been a lazy pig too long. Is time to move my lazy ass to the track mill. I dun think i wanna join a marathon but just to lose some body fat and be lighted. So that i can fit into some figure hugging t-shirt or whatever, so that i am charming enough to attract some prince charming...:P

Ever since i am back to sg from beijing. Been on a long break. And i am glad that i found this new job that pay ok and give me a lot of freedom. Thanks boss.

Gone shopping last weekend, I guess it is enjoyable to do shoppin when u have some extra cash on hand. Two days of shopping left me with tiring feets. God, i think i should do more walking in the future to prevent any foot injury...:P

Wake up sleepy head!!!

Feels so sleepy now...help help....
