For some reason my health is deteriorating rather rapidly.
Is this a mid40s thing?
White hair sprouting out of all sorts of places.
Eyesight getting worse.
Inability to slim down, keep putting on weight.
Joint recovery is super slow.
Joint aches last a lot longer than they should.
Stamina falling off a cliff.
Fitness falling off a cliff.
General fatigue and tiredness setting in faster.
What gives?
Been a little crushing on Korea lately.
All because I’ve been watching that Kdrama called Dr Slump.
It’s pretty good and I’ve been fanboying Park Shin Hye the actress.
Now I wanna watch her other dramas too.
Also that show made me wanna eat and speak more Korean.
So I think maybe I’ll find some time to learn a little bit of conversational Korean if I can.
Wifey is also cooking this delicious Korean spicy soup with eggs and veg that I’m good with, so it tastes delicious.
Son is perfecting his buldak (Korean spicy noodles) and it tastes so good!
Managed to join the boys for futsal on Saturday and I even got to bring my son along!
Now we are a lot older and we vets are fewer in attendance while the younger boys are also not as young anymore, they’re in their mid 30s.
A fresher younger bunch came to join us and they were in their late 20s and early 30s.
And then there was my son at 14 mixing it up with them.
Such a proud dad moment for me.
I was just trying to keep up by playing keeper when we won consecutive games.
Great fun and hopefully I can play with my boy for more games to come.
Guess I’ll have to postpone my retirement on the field!
Meanwhile I need new shows because my old Decat ones are gone!
What a result for us!
Sure it doesn’t make much of a difference as this is the World Cup qualifiers and we are pretty much out already having lost 5-0 to Korea and 3-1 to Thailand.
But no one really gave ourselves a chance.
Heck I went to watch them only because the tickets were free!
Then we trailed by 0-2 at halftime to two Wu Lei goals and we gave up already.
Who’d have thought substitute Faris Ramli had other ideas with his shot squirming in to spare our blushes. I thought one goal back was already quite good.
Then our up and coming youngster Jacob Mahler slamming home the equalizer in the 81st minute really sent the home fans into pandemonium and shut the China fans up.
What an exhilarating game and so worth it to say I was there.
It was so humiliating to the China team that their captain publicly quit the national team! Haha!
We play China away next Tuesday and who knows maybe we’ll get thrashed by this draw with China is already one for the history books.
Go Lions go!!!
Over the March school holidays we went up to Ipoh.
Spent a night in KL at my cousin’s place, followed by an additional 3hr drive up to Ipoh.
This trip was really a foodie trip. We were just eating nonstop.
By the time I came back I was fatter by 2kg no joke.
A fantastic trip nonetheless.
Here’re some pix.
Finally, she arrived.
I went on own expense for N1 with my daughter and two other colleagues, N2 was the VIP suite with wifey, N4 for Cat100 seats outside the stadium.
What a solid week of Taylor Swift festivities.
She is just so so so amazing a performer and entertainer. 3.5hrs straight belting out around 44 songs with little costume change time (not enough to run to toilet for sure!).
Just so epic and made me respect her even more!
This is me trying my hardest to catch up with all her songs, plus all the TikTok videos to train me up for those chants.
Also me wearing my own personal friendship bracelets.
Then we went to buy merch a day before the concert! Queued for four hours!
