HELP!!!

After a couple of days of advertising on an online job listing platform, help came in the form of a 27 yo Singaporean guy who is experienced in F&B in various capacities. Bottomline, thank God for the prompt reply!

So far, its been good! But something tells me I have to be more involved.

Still Nocturnal

The festive holidays have not been of help. So far.

Off My Burning Chest

February, First. Time flies. Looking back, it has been a relatively crazy month. So many major stuffs happened that on retrospect, it didn’t seem like the time was fast. Perspectives are very important.

Mid-life crisis

This phenomenon seems to be as realistic as psychologists call it. I am beginning to feel that its getting the better of me. But I am not beaten. Its a very conscious effort but I know that God is watching out for me. And whatever that’s going on in the natural world, its very helpful in character building.

Sleep
Some people need 10 hours. Some can do with 6 and some others can survive on 4. The best of us has determined that the average is 8 hours or a third of your day. I remember reading somewhere that someone said that he wishes he can skip sleep and be productive instead. I remember I agreed with that. But, I am an average person. But, I sleep like as though I am a super. And now during the day, I feel like a stupor. We need the 8 hours, to be productive for the rest of the 16.

Motorcycle

Its 2 months exactly since I passed by 2B and almost a month since I have gotten the FZ16. In another 10 months’ time, I will be going back to BBDC again to register for 2A.

During the nights of riding, I am also slowly discovering why riders behave the way they do on the roads. And also discover myself as a driver and rider.

I consider myself as a thrill seeker. But I am also in my 40s with 20 years of driving. which means the 20 year olds will be giggling, “Thrill seeker? You?” in my face. I think I am at a point of my life when I no longer seek risky thrills. I am those take a roller coaster but make sure I don’t drop my keys and will use all the seat belts if available.

Also, I use the rear view mirror a lot. Much more than the sides. And as a rider, I am so “blind”. I know there are now technology that helps with this handicap but I think all riders should learn to adapt with the 2 sides, at least for me.

JB Getaway aka "Marriage Renaissance"

I am hoping. In our 10th year of marriage, things seem to be rockier. But I am willing to believe we are rocking our foundation which was probably weak already. And now that the cracks are showing, we can start to do the mends.

I am hoping this little getaway which we are both gleefully looking forward to will do wonders for our selves and our union.

Bye Bye

I have just kicked the stall “help”, yesterday, thus throwing my life in “disarray” and “uncertainty”. But I have faith, that this is necessary for me to decide that changes are needed. That I need to be more proactive with things. On retrospect, I do admit I am too passive on this and could have been a better “mentor" to a young man trying to learn the society as a whole. But I guess this burden is no longer mine to bear but at least I know the next time this opportunity knocks again, I will know what I need to do. Proactive is lesson learned.

Peripherals

Computer mouse. I just bought yet another Razer. Razer Orichi. I am a sucker for computer mice. I have a few of them lying around in the house and although they are not causing problems like the real mice, they are cluttering up the drawers. Why do I have such a “fetish”? I don’t quite understand it too. I just have a thing for them. The previous ones are not even fully dead yet and I am already dreaming of owning the next. Yes, I am weird.

God, I am a human being. Created, loved, forgiven, blessed. Thank You, very much.
