Kiwi Banana Downunder

My wife once told me a story about how a teacher made every student in her class pass on a tiny piece of asbestos so that everyone would get to feel what it was like.

Sure it was just a tiny piece but I really wouldn’t encourage a primary school kid to be touching one. It was decades ago, so perhaps even the teachers were not as well informed about possible malignant Mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos?

I know for sure that in this time and day if that incident took place in a classroom, any parent would have lodged a complaint.

Gosh I feel so lethargic today. I guess the working week has caught up with me and I am all zonked out. Slept half the day away and I still feel like napping at 4.30pm, somebody help me!

The hot and humid weather is making me tired all the time but my wife says I said the same thing in winter too, hmm. Anyway it is so hot that my wife doesn’t feel like going out eventhough I offered to drive to the mall (to shop for my shoes actually *LOL*).

… hmm not for me.  As we edge closer to what most people terms as “over the hill”, would we consider hgh releaser which claims to fight the ageing process? We know most celebrities would probably jump at the slightest chance of staying young forever but for ordinary people like us, I don’t think many would share the same idea.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know that my wife will always love me for who I am rather than what I am. Therefore, thank goodness I don’t have to worry about staying youthful all the time

My work shoes and my sandals decided to call it quits after several years. I hardly wear my sandals, so I don’t know why they don’t last long. However with my work shoes, it came as no surprise to me as I walk a lot in them.

I took the shoes and sandals to a cobbler at our local mall. The guy put glue on them and to my surprise, he didn’t charge me a single cent saying that the glue won’t hold forever, hinting that I would need to get new shoes altogether, sigh.

So I went to shop for shoes but to no avail. None were to my liking.

For the longest time, we have considered getting a treadmill just to keep the extra calories off. But because our garage is so full there is absolutely no place for any exercise equipment, let alone home gyms.

Well since Plan A is no longer possible, I guess that means we are back to square one. Taking turns to jog around the neighbourhood seems to be the only solution for now. I am pretty sure my wife would prefer to jog only when it’s dark when the neighbours couldn’t see her

As for me, I have not jogged for the longest time. My wife finds it hard to believe I’d let myself go like this compared to my uni days.

We had hope to watch the Chinese New Year parade in the CBD yesterday but the weather was too hot and humid for our liking. So we had to forget about the plan. Furthermore, it is not easy to take our little girl out especially when among a huge crowd.

It is probably a good idea we didn’t go because from the photos I saw on the papers, the parade was packed with people, I am sure we would not be able to see a thing past the crowd.
