I'm ageing

So I suddenly have this sharp pain at my tail bone area since yesterday.

Started to think a lot like how did it happen, how my life will be affected if it's a chronic problem etc. I don't remember carrying heavy things in a negative manner nor having a fall.

Thoughts of not being able to play leisure football and not able to ride make me scared. The pain comes even when I sneeze or bend down.

This taught me to appreciate the little things in life, such as being able to walk normally. One thing for sure, my body is no longer like how it's used to be. And I must keep in mind that I'm not longer the young and fit boy. 

Hello again.

I'm here to revive this blog since its last breath 2.5 years ago. Many things have changed since 2014.

Career

Have switched job from CPF Board to TTSH last year. In a blink of an eye, it's been 1.5 years since I have left. I have fond memories with my ex colleagues turned friends. Till day, I still dream about them at times too.

Job scope did not change much. I'm glad to be blessed with nice people in my team. Ever supporting team mates and an understanding boss. Like others said, a shit job with a good boss is better than a good job with a shit boss.

Let's see how things move on in 2017. 

Interests

Travel Junkie

Been travelling quite a far bit over the past years. Picked up diving in 2013 and didn't imagine it to play such a big part in my life. In fact, I was back from a 8 day trip from Lombok with Cherylene and Stella this week. Love the sightings of the lovable turtles and sharks.

Can't wait for my next few trips.

1. Kuala Lumpur - MotoGP

2. Chiang Mai

3. Krabi

4. Cebu - Diving

Ride

Bought a brand new Honda CB400X last November. It's a decent touring bike for its class. And I'm glad that I picked up riding 2 years ago. Both my Yamaha R15 and Honda 400X have brought me to many places that I may never visit in my life. Looking forward to my Class 2 lessons next month.

Let's see what new machines lie ahead of my current ride. 

Life

I miss the feeling of laughing from the bottom of my heart, with my stomach rolling inside out. Maybe as life goes, the child in us grows with us.

Many friends around me are getting married. I'm looking forward to the day I become a parent already. I have always wondered what kind of father would I be to my children next time. We shall see (:

I have also learnt to be more gracious to myself - not to tolerate shit from others. Yes, I do not deserve your crap. Live the present. Do not be affected by the negative vibes around. And just hope these people die and rot in hell.

A note to self. Always love yourself and the people around you (who deserves it). 

MH370

A few days ago on 8 March 2014, MH 370 mysteriously disappeared without trace from radars with 239 people, including 12 cabin crew. It was on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpar.

Till date, there is no signs of it being found though there are new leads every day.

Initially, I didn't feel much when I heard of the news. Until when I watched this video, I realised how devastated the family members would have felt. So I read up more about it. It's touching to see neighbouring countries helping out one another in situations like this.

So finally, I see the effectiveness of our military. MINDEF sent C130 planes, war ships and even a submarine to help out in the search. Kudos to everyone who is involved. It's definitely not an easy task. People like me, can only pray for them, hope that the plane can be found soon.

To be honest, I don't get it when I see neighbouring countries are putting in more effort than Malaysia.

Military V Superstition

I'm a free thinker, and not a person who believes so much in superstitions. And after I see this, I felt lucky not to be a Malaysian. I will be so ashamed of myself if I see this in social media if I am one.

Nonetheless, let's pray for these 239 passengers and their family members.

Random

Some times I wonder, perhaps one should not comment too much. And for the past week, I learnt this through the hard way, twice.

1. So I have this used-to-be close colleague who was divorced and her love life seemed to be not doing well. As a friend, I gave her a simple guy's point of view - Not every man will be able to accept a woman with a child. At first thought, the man will definitely think that the child will be an added responsibility/liability. True, people will say that if one loves you, he/she should accept you for who you are. But face the fact, not many men are that noble.

Those closer colleagues agreed and the truth hit her hard. And yup, she deactivated her Facebook account and things are kind of awkward between us now.

2. After my IPPT, was suggesting to my friends that we can take it together the next round. The intention was  simple - to motivate one another to do well.

Although they may be kidding to say I asked KB along just to feel good. But seriously, for what will I feel good if I do okay and my friend doesn't?

Perhaps, I will just keep my comments to myself in the future.
