Not sure why but today I did a little self-reflection on my life. Must be my mood was rather bad and thus the need to reflect on it. Normally I don’t do such things. I am the kind of person who believes that in order to live a life, we must take it day by day. That’s what my friend who does daily rated odd jobs and owe me about a thousand dollars told me.  Oh, and I still hadn’t receive the thousand dollars from him. Hmmm…..maybe I should phone him and demand my money back.I had nearly forgotten about him owing me money. Well, looks like self-reflection does help in planning for my future. I could be a thousand dollars richer next week!Have you wondered why people don’t return money to you after they borrow and promised to return to you in like a few months?

Anyway, I came to realize that my life is pretty boring! Why? Well, everyday I go to work, come back, eat some yogurt and then go to bed. That’s 5 days per week I do those things. Of course, previously when I was brewing beer, I had to come home and change ice packs every day. But overall, it was still very boring. Feels like clockwork to me. Yes, I am not the excitable kind and I really detest exciting stuff but seriously, I think I need to do some major changes in my life as this is getting downright boring. Perhaps I should go out more often? But then being broke most of the time, going out would not help my financial situation. Nowadays, even taking the public bus is getting more and more expensive.And when you go out, you need to eat. And even the food stalls in the hawker centres are not letting us off and you will have to pay an arm and a leg to get some noodles. My workplace which is in an industrial estate, the prices of foodstuff there is also very expensive. A bowl of U-mian costs about S$3.80 now. In the past, for S$2.50 you can get the big bowl of U-mian. Now, with S$2.50, you can’t even buy much. Even a ham bread costs about S$1.00. Don’t you love artificially created inflation?

I think I will start exercising soon. Isn’t that a good idea? As we get old, we find that our bodies get weaker and all sorts of problems starts to pop up. My right knee seems to be getting me problems day after day. And of course, my poor health in general is exactly the high point of my life either. Exercising should be wonderful. However, the problem is whether I can do it. Every day, I reach home around 8pm. So eating, bathing and doing other miscellaneous stuff, I would finish around 9pm. So, that leaves me 1 hour to exercise. Well, knowing my own constraints, I doubt that I will have the willpower to keep exercising so this will definitely a waste of effort.

Luckily, as you guys know, I am into making stuff. I brew my own beer and make my own yogurt. At least weekends I have something to do and I really enjoy making yogurt and brewing beer. But since my last bout of illness, I have been keeping clear of beer for the time being. I think I will start making my next batch of wheat beer this coming Sunday.  I also enjoy reading, just like my nephew. Actually my nephew loves to look at pictures and flipping books instead of reading. But he is just 3 years old, so we forgive him.

Okay, this is all the time I have for self-reflection. If you have anything to add, please do so in the comment box below. Thank you.
