Life of a jellyfish - Episode 2!

The jellyfish is back :)  Realised that I did not post anything on this blog for the entire 2023, except the injury portion. >< Still,  it's timely for a yearly reflection~ ~~~ What is awesome about 2023? 1. Did a hair transplant procedure. It's a problem which I wanted to tackle for a long time, but didn't really know how to go about it.  2. Had quite a lot of meals and gyms with F4 peeps. 3. Recovered from the leg fracture, and even managed to (somewhat) improve cardio. Ran SC 10km  and improved by 25 minutes (1:15) as compared to 2018 (1:40). Seems like a decent improvement. 4: Hanging out with ZP and Vellay, chatting with JJ online.  5. Went to Korea with parents, and visited Jap first time in life with SY and WJ. 6. Took care of temp staff at work. :) This is something many peeps won't appreciate though~ ========== What is not that great? 1. Didn't really learn anything new, both work and personal.  2. Did not really progress in gym exercises. Th...

The jellyfish is back~ Writing a memory about my injury at the end of 2022, maybe can laugh at it in the future. XD So towards the end of Nov 2022, I fell down and landed on the side of my left root. With some amazing luck, it resulted in a hairline fracture. >< A hairline fracture is the least severe of all fractures, but it is still a tear in the bones and definitely painful. Thankfully at the present time of writing, the fracture has healed 70% and I can start walking slowly to various places (such as the office, public transport). :) --------- 23rd Nov [The beginning - UCC and clutches] Visited the GP, to see if there is any chance where it could be just a small injury. The left foot shows a big patch of blue-black at the top of the foot too. The GP doctor immediately went: "Aiyo this one confirm fracture la. Please go take an X-ray." She wrote a reference letter and asked me to take it to the Urgent Care Center (UCC) at Kampung Admiralty. I didn't even know abo...

 The jellyfish is back :)  So, it's been another year, where a lot of COVID restrictions have been lifted, and things somewhat went back to how it was in 2019. Not sure if it's a good thing, but anyway it is appropriate for another resolution post. ~~~ What is awesome about 2022? 1. Went to the gym more often, and did more cardio too. As compared to first starting gym, I think I did more exercises properly, and got a bit stronger. Guess its a healthy lifestyle. 2. Had quite a lot of meals with F4, gym sessions. 3. Created another puzzle game series for Vellay, hoped he enjoyed them. Enjoyed quite a number of crosswords with him too. 4. A few nice hikes with ZP, great outings with JJ, and went on a short Thailand trip with SY and WJ. Feels good to go overseas for a short trip again.  5. Knowing that I will get promoted to senior staff~ Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing, but for now just think positively. :)  ========== What is not that great? 1. Didn't touch ...

  Its been a fun 1 year with many exercises and makans along the way. Guess you have achieved your main goal of this activity. Here is hoping you will find true happiness, and have someone who accompanies you in life. Although its difficult, people come and go, and we have to adapt to these changes. The timer to part ways for this activity will now start. Thanks for all the great moments, I will treasure them. :) 3 down, all clear~

The jellyfish is back! 2021 has been a decent year for me, even though it may not be as peaceful as 2020~ But still, all is good! This year I wrote this in Mid-Jan 2022 instead of the final night of 2021 because I was at GBTB with PH on NY eve night. No fireworks, but definitely a nice and cooling walk~ ~~~~~ What is awesome about 2021? :) 1. This year I managed to get much more exercise as compared to 2019/2020, and I think is perhaps even more than 2018 too. Started going to weekly gyms with War and PH, and also by myself more frequently too. Added cardio to this mix. Honestly I would expect myself to be the last person on Earth to get a gym membership, but seems like things can be different as time goes by~  2. Had quite a lot of meals with F4. I think partially because go gym -> easier to meet -> makan. 3. Experienced new stuff and places -> Made a puzzle game series for Vellay; Created some mini games through python and via GUI for own entertainment; Went for a Sentos...

The jellyfish is back! I have decided to write a post collating some of the memories I had with F4 in 2021. :) Part 1 (Jan to May 21):  http://jellyunderthesea.blogspot.com/2021/05/f4-outings-2021-13.html Part 2 (Jun to Sep 21):  http://jellyunderthesea.blogspot.com/2021/08/f4-outings-non-group-2021.html ===== 30th Sep - 2nd Oct: Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Staycation (PH) Staycation ftw! ^^ We decided to go for a staycation as a short break from work. The COVID-19 Delta variant was spreading quite a bit, and so everyone can only hang out in groups of 2. That didn't affect us though~ :) We chose Shangri-La at Sentosa for a slightly different feel of hotels, it was 5-stars, and the appearance looked nice the previous time we visited the hotel lobby and facilities. The price was about $400+ per person for a 3D2N stay. A classic sea view room. Every facility (E.g. pool, sea sports) has to be booked due to the COVID measures, but thankfully they were really easy to book. :) Day 1 Met ...
