Looks like the announcement of that "major good news" in my last post was made perhaps a tad premature. My company is undergoing huge organisational changes and although such changes can uncover new opportunities, things are a little too uncertain. There's still a chance that I'll get what I want but I'd have to wait till the dust settles a bit before I can really see clear enough to make my next move. Hope my patience doesn't run out!
Winter is the season to be sluggish at home and grow some fat cells. Because it can get so cold sometimes, it makes you not want to leave the house. That being said, I still stay steadfast to my exercise regimen i.e. twice weights and twice cardio a week. I know my body well enough to know that I can quite easily get back into the shape I want and continuing to keep fit is key to the ease of these bodily transitions.
Without a new game to play after the completion of "Elden Ring", my time vegetating at home is spent writing songs and watching YouTube videos. I have an extremely boring and predictable life and I don't dislike it. I guess our partners do influence us to a large extent. If Ision were an outdoorsy person, I'm sure I'll be spending a lot more time in the sun with him (by the way the sun a.k.a wrinkle-giver is his mortal enemy). Anyway, now that I'm back on a 4/4 rotation, my break is shorter and so that's all the more cause to enjoy my time doing absolutely nothing.
Another reason why not venturing out is a good idea is because COVID is once again spreading here in Melbourne. Although I'm eligible for a second booster, I don't think I'll get it unless my company mandates it which is unlikely. This is because of the side effects I always suffer with COVID jabs and I don't yet see the benefits of getting the fourth vaccine compared to that. I hope travelling is not once again made difficult by this virus as that will add a whole lot more pain flying to and from work.
Speaking about flying, I do miss Singapore but having not travelled for leisure for so long (since COVID started), I feel really ambivalent about going home even though I miss my mum and the food so much. Money is not a factor at all, I just need a strong reason to book that air ticket and I'm still looking for it.
Another thing I miss is busking in Singapore and now that busking is once again allowed, perhaps this can be one of the draws for me to make that trip. This month's musical journey is a cover of "菊花台" (original by Jay Chou 周杰倫). This was recorded when I was busking with my sister during my last Singapore visit in 2020 (other posts in this busking series are here: 1 2 3). Hope you like it.
