"Living Each Single Day"

One of the things that I enjoy in life is eating ice cream like the picture you see above. I know it's sweet and all but I particularly liked dark and rich chocolate flavour and is willing to pay $5 for it, coming from someone who is calculative over money, lol.  It tastes so good and I typically eat it, not all the time, but usually when I get stressed out by life in general. Somehow within that short period of time, I forget about the stress I'm having from various factors. Working out can also help me to forget temporarily but I dunno, I feel even more stressed when I have to carry out moves which are kinda torturous for me. Every person handles stress differently. My mind tend to calm down a bit as I self reflect and think about what was the big fuss all about especially when I'm stressing out over things that aren't even a big deal in the first place. So eating the ice cream can help to build my spirit up a little, especially when things get a little mundane or hec...

The view from the top in a cable car Actually, I never really thought of writing on this topic because so far, I am doing pretty well in mental health or at least coping. But recently, I listened and read about other people's mental health issues and how common and serious they have become. As more people log on to social media, seeing other people leading their lives and being cyber bullied by strangers, many things start to play on our minds and all the negative talk can start. We start to disbelief in ourselves.  Everyday is a challenge and there are days when it can be harder to get through. It takes willpower to be strong facing these challenges especially when there are little to no changes or the news just could not have gotten any worse. I have experienced dark periods in my life before and it's not easy to just simply get over it. Feelings of being a failure and then coupled with the lack of moral support or keeping the problems to myself until it blew up and my famil...

me self reflecting on life Last week, I was quite a mess in regards to managing my life. I felt a little out of grasp because I guess I tend to focus my energy more on things that don't add meaning to my life. However, I still enjoy those moments but it was a little bit on the excessive. But it's not all the way down the rabbit hole for me. I still manage to achieve some things such as attending a free live webinar on spiritual course where I managed to sit through for one and a half hour without wanting to quit.  In terms of fitness, I did not manage to work out at least 3 times in that week and that one time I didn't do it was because of the webinar that fell around the same time I normally do the workout. However, not to give an excuse as I could have planned to do earlier or after. But no. I take it as full 'break', lol. And I haven't been eating well for quite a long time because I gave myself too many excuses that it's ok to eat that stick of fishball,...

Last Thursday, I was a back in office and to prevent me from falling asleep, I was listening to an hour and a half long podcast although I didn't listen to it in one shot. It was an interview with a well known entertainer and host in Singapore named Suhaimi Yusof, a household name here and he also had made a name for himself in Malaysia as well.  He was a former radio deejay, a host, comedian and sometimes actor. He is such as valuable 'treasure' of Singapore and even in the latest government initiatives campaign, they had him on board as well because his name is recognisable to anyone irregardless of race.  His interview was a very insightful and filled with gems based on his experiences and family background. He was pretty candid about many things and though he was the one being interviewed, the interview didn't  actually need to keep prompting him because he's just has a natural gift for talking. He also talked about his role as a Dad, different from his usual ha...

I recently finished watching an anime which I put on hold for some time, even after watching my first Anime series called Fire Force Season 1. To be honest, I watch Anime and live action anime but not on a regular basis, those that piqued my interest only. Like I started watching Fire Force coz I thought it seemed like an interesting premise but then apparently, it became more than just fighting against infernal demons. The more you watch it, the more complicated the plot becomes and each character is unique on its own, whether as the good guys or the bad guys. I know that Demon Slayers or Kimetsu No Yaiba is an immensely popular Manga and anime on Netflix but when I first watched it to see what was the hype, I couldn't wrap my head around it yet. Because it was set in feudal Japan or Tao Sho era so the people were mostly wearing old style clothings such as kimono, haori and in the modern part of Japan, they were wearing I think 19th century outfits. And it started with a family st...
