2020 and covid19

I know no one reads my post, so the reason why I am moved to write here today is because I need a medium to write whatever is happening in my life also known as "mizah is bored, she needs to channel her energy somewhere".

Hi, it has been more than 2 years since I last written anything in this good old blog. If it wasn't for covid19, I wouldn't even be moved to come back here. I have been working from home since mid March, it is definitely a challenge because as a person I feed on the energy of people around me and working from home means I got no one to feed on and I'm hungry for that.

But lets not move away from traditions of this blog..lets reflect on what has happened in the past 2 years.

 Life is still good in Brunei, this year marks the 10th year back in Brunei after Australia. I didn't expect that I'll stay this long here but I managed. Traveled quite decently for the last 2 years, went back to Sydney twice last year, celebrated the 2019 new year in New York,  ate loads of good food there, went to EMP for dinner and then visited Miami - fell in love with the street arts and Orlando for Universal Park and of course Houston cos my good friend Fina was there. Also did a good round of Turkey for my birthday last year  and ended up in Amsterdam for King's Day! If I decide to continue blogging, I think I have enough material to talk about few destinations.

Moving on to health and fitness, my mission on becoming healthy and fit has been there since university times. Every year my resolution has always been to get slimmer and all those unrealistic goals and I knew at the back of my head..my targets are realistic but I won't be able to reach them because I can't be bothered with being disciplined enough to reach that. So I have stopped wishing that I am going to lose weight, instead I choose to listen to my body, eat healthily, exercise at least 3x weekly, limit alcohol intake and most importantly stretch and practice mindfulness. The result = controlled weight +/- 3kg which I am not too bothered.

Work updates: Moved to another asset, so I have practically done 4 out of 5 subsurface departments. So now I sort of know where my next move is going to be, but lets not discuss it here cos uncertainty is so large in the field that I'm in.

That is it for now, I need to do the home quarantine exercise name challenge. Its crazy but I'll manage!

of self discovery

hmmm.


nothing much, just everyday life. Found love for spinning, first time it was hard. Second time around was bearable, at least I managed to follow probably around 60-70% of the movements. Shall try again this Friday.

Haven't slept 8 hours straight since last Sunday, work demands again. I am awake since 5 am today only to do my ultimate work at 12 midday. Quite frustrating, considering that I love my sleep..

Here! New picture from Phuket! Well it's actually not Phuket, its one of the bays in PhiPhi Island. Picture taken from our boat. Nice blue water! Really salty water though!

I'm back from the west

I'm still experiencing a bit of jet lag, so let me just list my learnings during my trip (in bullet points).

1) Never buy luxury items from Singapore again, unless you are super desperate

2) Don't even bother buying Mango and Zara outside Spain, again unless you are desperate

3) Not every one knows Brunei, so just say you are from the far east, Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia

4) and most of the shop don't accept denominations above 50euros

5) 8 hours time difference from Sydney is a pain, my sleeping time is equivalent to the wakeup time for nick, his sleeping time is equivalent to my midday of work..haha

6) Rome to Firenze is 1hr 45mins, Firenze to Milano is another 1hr 45min

7) If you were to travel to France from Netherland, buy the ticket super early, because it gets expensive at the last minute

Many more I can share but I need to sleep

distractions are minor things that you thought won't distract me

there. work is good at the moment. I love driving early in the morning where there's not many cars around so i can speed, takes me maybe less than 10mins to arrive from home to the rig. Which if this activity is to be done at 730am will cost me +/-30mins of my life. Other than that, please appreciate the the subject of this post, if you've got nothing nice to say just shut the fuck up and don't say anything that distracts me(this is NOT work related)

now i've gotta sleep

goodnight, goodmorning y'all
