Catching up with health

My blood test result is out – I am getting fitter but still a long way to catch up for someone as my age. I can only keep on doing what I am doing and try to shorten the distance.

My aunty was urging me to buy a property. Indeed, it is now a good time to buy given the interest rate is low and large sum from government incentive. Yet, I really don't want to committee to something will take 20 – 40 years. I don't even know if I can live up to 65. Having this thought is quite scary, only 40 more years ahead of me! I don't want to get tied up by a piece of land and some bricks for most of my life and die watching my children/partner living in my hard earn property. I admit being selfish; who is not?

I am getting a bored with my job. I think looking for a new job will be on my new year’s resolution list.

December baby

December comes again. Always my favourite month of the year, I used to look forward to the 2nd last day of the year, now I am waiting for the work breakout day to have a break. I feel I do need a break to refresh myself after working for six months.

I was having a lunch conversation with my colleagues, one is living from home while another is a spoiled little princes. We shared views on difficulties of living away from the family, the life after paying a big chunk of your salary to rent and daily expenses, and a “luxury” lifestyle while your parents are still feeding you and providing accommodation to you for free. Regardless, they are all saving up for a house. I did, indeed, feel a bit sour – no matter how hard I save, there is not a house shadow seen anywhere near me. It would be much easier to give up than save up for one, or else, build one in someone’s abandoned backyard. I am and have always been immune to my grandma/aunt’s marriage + house + children theory. They imagine things out of reality, never take a look what is behind my back. Why was I sick? Why did I leave?

At work, we are all dragging these last three weeks before we go for a-month long holiday. I am hoping to prepare for my diploma assessment and, hopefully, pass the professional title exam.
