I have been putting on weight due to medication and an appetite that has somehow spiralled out of control. I keep telling myself to start losing weight... tomorrow. Now it seems tomorrow must finally come.
Recently I noticed that my only pair of jeans are getting a wee bit tight, same goes for my belt. But that was taken care of sucking in my stomach and pulling my jeans up, way up.
Imagine my horror when I noticed bruises on my stomach the other day. At first, I was mystified as to where the bruises came from. Then it dawned on me that GASP! my jeans and belt were finally too small for me!
So it is finally time to start losing weight...

Going To Turkey!
I'm going to Turkey! No not yet, there's nearly 3 months to go before I depart but the tickets have been booked and the seats chosen. Talk about efficiency!
This will be my first trip abroad since my summer in Europe last year. Although I'm still smarting from the loss of the Doha job, I realized I must really learn to let it go.
Hmmm... can I squeeze in another trip to somewhere nearby before Turkey?....

Stop The Damn Rain!
If this goes on any further, I swear Singapore will go down like a sinking ship!
There was a brief respite from the water yesterday morning and after consulting with the weather forecast, I decided to go cycling with the Donkey. But we never did make it to East Coast. The skies decided to unload its shit on us and we were trapped at Parkway Parade.
So we didn't get to go cycling but I did give Donkey a tour of the Katong area. Hope he liked it haha ;p
The night ended with me seeing Sherman off at the airport. Once again, I'm awed at how great our airport is. I might rave and bitch about our little island but one thing I can't deny is that Changi Airport ranks among the best in the world.

Waking Up From A Deep Sleep...
It's been a good 6 months and like any self-respecting polar bear, it's time to end my hibernation.
So where did I disappear to for the past half a year? Did I just go into hiding with nary a thing to do? Hardly.
For one, I have been busy working, working, working! For some reason I was flooded with jobs after I came back from Europe last July and so I took on 4 different series for Channel News Asia.
On the workfront, everything was going fine. I even landed an exhibition gig that required me to be in Doha from Jan to Mar. It was a glorious period of time, I was looking forward to earning big bucks and best of all, I was going to be away from Singapore for 3 whole months!
But then I got a visit from an old friend.
I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a nerve disorder in Nov 2002. Since then I have gone through an operation, underwent radiotherapy, was put on a garden variety of medication and gained 20kg from said medication. But in the past 5 years, everything was well under control and I was finally going to be off all medication by May this year.
Then in the dying days of 2007, barely a week before I was to leave for Doha, I had a relapse.
That threw everything into disarray. I had to give up the job in Doha and for more than a month, my eyesight was severely affected. But fortunately things are coming together again, I'm back on all my medication and the condition seems to be well under control.
So in celebration of yet another new chapter of my eventful life, I decided to resurrect this blog. Hopefully I will finish detailing my trip to Europe last year but in any case, I'm already looking forward to new travels for this year.
Peace ;p
