29 March 2022 - Unmask the faces

 29/03/2021 11:58am
Day of Start of optional mask wearing
Hmm maybe that's why got feels to head out
Thought of going out to swim since JL is having an off day today
First place I thought of was TPY SAFRA... haven't been there in ages...

Then saw on a Swimming Telegram group that benches are back out at TPY SAFRA.... Took a while to hit me... TANNING is BACKKK!!
Hmm feels kinda odd though, tanning in public pools Gosh the last time I did that was wayyyyy back in 2019
I guess it would take a while for the feels to sink in, and maybe take a few times of actually doing it to get used to the idea of tanning at public pools again
For so long now, tanning under the sun has only been at my condo pool and I only go to public pools to swim
Hmmm... sure would be nice to tan at public pools again Especially, TPY SAFRA.

Year is ending charged with Tachyons

 Okay. That was a reference from 'The Flash".

And indeed the year is speeding to a close. Today is just a day before New Year's Eve, and there is still so much left to finish before I can officially start on a new year that is 2022.

Early on in Nov I was thinking Dec is gonna be a busy one but that was just mostly about work Having quite a few events towards the end of the year

Personally, there is still much left for me to do before ending 2021

Yet to take stock of 2021

06:14am

Woke up with my pillow kinda soaked Didn’t realise it was that warm?? Must have been perspiring throughout the night and finally got woken up around 06:00am.

Back on the jogging routine

Just a quick update:
I definitely felt more lean yesterday, weighed myself and I was back at 57.0kg, hovering between 56.9- 57.0kg. That's down from the 59kg I was at. Feeling lean again this morning after I just woke up.

Hmm.. and I am not sure what caused the slight change. I have certainly been jogging more frequently, thanks to the resumption of the "Steps Challenge", though I am almost near to completion of the challenge. One thing I have noted is the MVPA really helps! I feel myself breaking a sweat more when I jog lately and that's even with my usual slow jogging pace or frequent stops. Only difference is I make sure to do at least 30- 40mins of moderate to vigorous physical activity(MVPA) each time I jog, keeping my heart rate above 125 bpm. And yes, like I had mentioned this has made my workouts more effective, making me perspire more. But I had not been feeling as lean until yesterday, still had quite a tummy previously. Maybe the workouts took some time to produce results? 
Or... I'm thinking if it might be the effect of a good night's sleep since I did sleep better the previous night?
Going for my morning jog now... ciaos

03:36

Wow... week just flew by

 It's 3am now
Just logged in to my comp to update my leave and food log, and realised most of the apps left open were last updated a week ago. Gosh, it's been a week since I last switched my comp on... 
Shall check the emails in the morning, on leave so it's going to be a long weekend! 
Nights 'O' yawns

Pitter patter..tea - 05:13

Raining outside. Just the right feels for some hot tea right now. And enjoying some banana Julie biscuits, and a bit of chocolates. Mmmmm... yes! 

Oh yea and not forgetting some music, after catching up on my drama Handsome Siblings. 
Right, nights!
Ahh.... the rain is so shiok!

Graduated!

 Am now wide awake! After having seen my results. Yes, my results have finally arrived and I've graduated! Yayy!!

Am just back home after MAF celebrations at JL's place, just some simple mooncake eating actually, and hot tea. After that, I was then really tired and sleepy, likely from the very full tummy of mine from all that eating earlier this evening. However, after seeing my results, or rather, I saw the email titled "Program successfully completed" first, I am now wide awake. Yes, I have been keeping a lookout for an email such as this one to confirm I have at least passed one module and have thus graduated. Relief...

Upon checking my results, I realised I had passed two of the three mods I had taken in the last academic year.. YAY! As I had mentioned in an earlier post( I think), I only need one more Pass to have fulfilled the requirements for graduation. And I probably also mentioned I was only confident of getting a Pass for one mod - Monetary Economics. And now, I see that I've passed two mods! Pretty decent grade for Monec, and scrapped a Pass for Industrial Economics. Ahh...

Actually my results were already out around 24 hours before, heh. But I haven't dared to look at it, at least until after MAF celebrations at JL's. So now the giddy with tiredness me mere moments ago is now wide awake and excitement coursing through me. 

It's late, past 1am... gonna go get some sleep anyways. Excited... when the sun rises, the world will learn that I... have GRADUATED. FINALLY.
