It's been a while since I had last posted and after reading my friend's posts, I had decided to pick it up again.
Life has been a hell of a roller coaster ride for me since 2011, which also happens to be the year when I turned 30 years old. It was the point of time that I was so into marathon running that I had to give it up due to the fact of a potential promotion.
I still remember the day 10 Oct 2011 where I was supposed to head to Bintan the next day for a staycation as I had won it but I couldn't make it due to my Dad's admission in hospital. We had all thought that it was going to be just kidney stones but it turned out to be other stuff. It was the C word, the word that we didn't want to hear. But once we heard that word, we hope it was benign but it was not.
Since then, the world was turned upside down for us. For me, I got the post at a new work place and I had to juggle work and family. Since then, it was shuttling between hospital and work. Thanks to the co-operative and supportive subordinate, I was able to cope.
In Feb 2012, I decided to get a car due to the fact of my work nature. It also happened to be CNY and we drove to his brother's place for CNY celebration, At the same time, I took up the courage to ask the time my dad had left. "6 months" was the answer and it was a shock to me as I still remember crying in the toilet after hearing that.
Since then, we make the most of everyday to spend time with Dad and everyday was like a countdown. The time came when 28 June 2012 came and we saw his last breath before we knew his time was up. My sister and me both held him in our arms before we bade him goodbye.
After that, there was other problems we settled. Family issues from his immediate family as well as all the issues from fatigue happened for us and especially Mum.
We were all recovering from illnesses and at the same time, I gave up on exercise. It was due to work and due to all the things that had happened that exercise was given up.
In July 2015, I experienced yet another down in the roller coaster of life. This time was the work issue, something that I could have managed better but most of it was not under my control.
In the period of close to 5 years, I had piled a total of 30kg at least. I hated what I see in the mirror and I decided that I should make a change.
And so I did, I lost a total of close to 12kg since Nov 2015 till now.
Gonna keep on moving and lose more weight to get healthier.
