The little tidbits in my life.
We’ve locked in UEFA Champions League next season!
Currently in third place, we’ve likely gotten that locked in.
Well done to Michael Carrick!
It pains me to think that if we had gotten rid of Ruben Amorim earlier, we might even have challenged for the league title this season!
In any case, back to where we belong, and much to look forward to next season!
Oh and Bruno Fernandez just won Football Writers Footballer Of The Year!
GGMU!!!
There’re several wars going on.
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
There is an energy and oil crisis around the world.
Inflation is running high globally.
Yet.
S&P is near ATH, touching 7,500.
NASDAQ is near ATH, touching 29,600.
Dow is near ATH, touching 50,000.
What gives?
Haven’t played my first game of golf in 2026. In fact I didn’t play a single game in 2025 even!
Haven’t cycled in a really really long time as well.
Haven’t travelled at all other than a couple of day trips to JB, in all of 2026. Sad.
Haven’t played basketball with kids in almost a month. Sad.
Haven’t had a proper run in a week, due to the rains.
Wifey bought new paddles for paddle ball, so that’s something new.
Doing more gym, static, home workouts for muscle strengthening.
Work is consuming me the last few months.
Not in a terrible way.
I have a lot of things going on, a lot of things to oversee, and the business is growing with many positive changes, so make no mistake, I’m not complaining about anything negatively draining at work.
Home is going well too, but with the teens busy with school, friends and their own initiatives, we are sort of confined to set timings to be together - some weekday dinners, meals and family gatherings on weekends, morning ferry drives. That’s really it. It feels normal but it’s also a new normal for us as parents.
A lot more electronic device usage by everyone. Sometimes necessary sometimes could have of. It’s not easy to find a balance.
Health is the bigger issue. I’ve recently been quite obsessed with latest technology and AI and my belief is that we will, without accident, live longer as healthcare and biotech improves. So there’s a lot to think about there. So it’s better diet and more regular exercise that I need to work towards.
