Lifestyle of the hectic

For us, simplicity was changing our lifestyle. It meant giving up some things, but it has also meant that we gained a lot

I'm so sick and tired of talking bout my working life and my workplace so, I've made my own resolve that I'll never talk nor blog about work on a serious note after office hours. Besides, blogging about your workplace or organization can get you fired. *ssshhhhh* the moderators are watching our every move. They can hear us!

My lifestyle is like a monotonous routine. Week in, week out I do the same thing over and over again.

Mondays: After work, futsal 10.00pm - 12.00am
Tuesdays: After work, gym 9.30pm - 11.30pm
Wednesdays: After work, futsal 10pm - 11pm
Thursdays: After work, gym 9.30pm - 11.30pm
Fridays: After work, happy hour whole night long
Saturdays: Wake up, lunch then basketball *night free*
Sundays: Wake up, lunch then gym


Well a routine lifestyle isn't always a bad thing. I get a lot of questions like:
  1. "Wah so healthy!"
  2. "OMG!How do you do it?"
  3. "How can you tahan with your hectic schedule?"

My secret?It's not much of a secret really. It's just a matter of getting into the habit. I guess I find gym and recreational sports very therapeutic. It takes my mind off work and all of my worries. The initial stages were very difficult as at times I had to drag my feet to go for them. But the after effects of gym/recreational sports are just amazing. Throw in a mixture of relaxing and easy music after a nice hot shower is just heavenly. The feeling of tranquility and serenity overwhelms you before you hit the sack. What better way to end your day with a nice and deep slumber and wake up fresh and happy?

As good as it might sound but there are its repercussion. Lately I've realised that I'm becoming anti-social. End of the day, I felt that it's not worth your friends. Now I'm trying my best to amend the broken ties or loose ties that was inflicted as a result of my exclusion from my mates.

I miss my friends very much and you all know who you are =(

On a different note, a quick history fact for the misperception of the term "pommy". All these while, Aussies used the term "pommy" as a colloquial term to describe a British person, and is often shortened to "Pom". After speaking to a certain friend of mine, I found out that the term "pom" is actually a shortened acronym of Prisoner of His/Her Majesty (POHM). History has it that many of Australia's first settlers were convicts. Upon conviction, they were sentenced to transportation, and upon arrival in the country they would be given a uniform with POHM emblazoned on the back, and that convicts with an extended stay on Australian soil would no longer have to wear the shirt and would often refer to newer entrants into the country as "Pohmmys". Other suggestions hold that POM is a different acronym, such as "Prisoner of Mother England" or "Port of Melbourne".
