lifestyle
October 2006 is such a huge change for me. First and the most noticeable one will be the start of my current new job. The colleagues in my new department are SUPER FRIENDLY. Seriously, I wasn't expecting such a royal treatment to someone who is so new in the industry. Plus, I'm the fresh sprout in a field of crops that are ripe with experiences. But they provided me with more than guidance: I'm starting to make new friends.
Work wise is a huge change for me as well. It's totally different from my previous job: Different industry and job nature. But since working, any OT doesnt feel OT at all. Maybe I'm still new and eager to learn bah.. Well, no one can predict the future so I might as well enjoy the feelings now..:)
Next up, I've finally joined a gym after so many years of deliberation. The gym has so far worked wonders for me since I joined last week. It must be the more frequent work out plus the use of the sauna and steam room. I feel more energised daily, and I sleep lesser each nite, averaging around 7hrs compared to my previous average of 8.5hrs. In fact, the last 2 nites I've slept only 6.5hrs. No need beauty sleep, you just need to have a great relaxing session at the sauna and steam rooms.
Oh, not forgetting the spa packages I've signed up. I've yet to go for them.. but they have no expiry dates so it's SUPER good for my unpredictable work time table. Oh, and also, I've gained weight finally!! It could be due to my decreasing metabolism rate as I grow older.. but it's the weight I almost wanted, so I dont really mind. Now eating 6 meals each weekday: Breakfast, Teabreak sandwich, Lunch, Teabreak bun, Protein shake, Dinner sandwich, Light Supper. Okok, there are 7 meals in all. Currently standing at 63.3kg with 15.2% body fat, I need to reduce another 4% to achieve that admirable 6 packs.. Well, since I've enrolled in a gym pass now, I might as well work towards that goal. haha.
There you go, my changed lifestyle... maybe after the haze is gone, I'll go swimming and jogging every weekend.

poser bod
Gymming can be fun! I've been visiting the various branches of California Fitness the past week after work. The sheer number of people really motivates anyone there to work harder without feeling the extreme fatigue. I've not felt my body ache in such manner on a daily basis for such a long time, and I really liked that feeling... think I'm becoming attaining Masochism soon.. haha... Don't worry friends, I'll still be as sadistic to please my fellow masochismics.
The gym is like a fashion house sometimes, and you can clearly see the confidence level of each individuals. Muscule men will wear near to nothing singlets that expose their bods in full view, while those skinner people (like me) cover up mainly.. In the sauna and steam room where everyone's only covering their willies with a bath towel, these well-built people will usually stand in a manner that will maximise their beautiful structures while normal people like us will just sit and enjoy the heat. Take it positively, and you will find motivation to work harder. Take it negatively, and you might just stop exercising.. Just remember this: If you think you wanna show off your bod in the public, just make sure you really have one. It's really disgusting when people tried to show off their flabby figure in an arrogant manner.
Oh btw, those who think I'm too skiny, think again.. At my height, my ideal weight should be 63.2kg. I'm now at 63.3kg, with 52kg of lean muscle mass and 10 kg of body fat.. So I need to reduce that 10kg (ard 15%) by another 5% to be in the league of Vincent Ng (tat TCS actor).

nice hazy view
The beautiful skyline of our CBD area. This photo was taken from my office's pantry area, a place I will definitely visit at least a few times each working day. It's a really relaxing view: so American City feel, yet so smoothing with the European architectures. My side of the office, however, offers the view of the DHL balloon and the National Library, together with the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Never seen Singapore City view so nice before. hehe.
After almost 3 years of deliberation, I've finally joined a gym. So far, I've went 2 times, later will be my 3rd visit. Check out my gym website California Fitness . Currently, I'm having 15.2% body fat. Trying to reduce to 10%.. hehe

nature's air purifier
I went for the Nokia Cinema on Saturday night, and what a night to remember. Tha night recorded the worst PSI reading: at 150. At ground level, it was fine as the screen was still in clear view. However, the Shenton Way skyline was shrouded in a mysterious haze, threatening to swallow Singapore's economic bloodline.
Sian... hope the rain comes quick to relieve the helpless (or incompetent local authorities from the Haze Source Nation).

hold onto your life
A couple of days ago,my colleague and I were taking the escalator up to the control station of City Hall MRT station when we heard a loud thud. All commuters on the escalator turned their heads to see what was going on. What we saw was something you don't see daily.
A middle-aged man with a balding scalp was lying face up on the other upwards escalator! Apparently, he had fainted or lost his footing and fell backwards. His 'ta-bao' (take-away meal) was by his motionless and unconscious body. Everyone on the escalator I was standing starred in shocked. However, we couldn't do anything as our escalator was still moving upwards. Luckily, some commuters stopped that escalator that poor man was lying on, and within seconds, 4 helpful commuters rushed up to help him up. The unbelieveable part was the station's staff was not as helpful as the 4 helpful commuters. He stopped by the railings to look down, talked into his walkie-talkie, and then starting his slow motion walk towards the poor man. They started to carry the man up, with blood flowing visibily on his shiny scalp. It was only when the man was carried up to the concrete flooring that another staff came carrying a first aid box.
The moral of the story: Hold the side handle while taking an escalator. It may save your life even if you fall. Holding on will also minimise the impact of a fall.

1st day at work.. must start getting used to the rush hour crowd.. Everyone's mad rushing to board and alight the MRT.
Work was a friendly and small quarter nicely tucked in a level of the Raffles City Tower. My department is overwhelmed by female colleagues, which made me one of the very very few bachelors in the team.. haha.. Work requires me to be formal with tie... I can't imagine how I'm gonna take the heat while doing my inspections outdoors..
The ride home was equally crowded... The trains packed like sardine.. hmmm.. this is gonna be an everyday affair for me from now on..
