Change of Life Style!

After hibernating for a week, I felt somewhat refreshed, though still somewhat weak and prone to sneezing and tiredness. I am impatient with myself for being sickly. Being sickly means reducing my violin practices, and looking at the world through a thin layer of mist. You know what I mean? My feet seem so heavy when I sometimes drag myself when I move around.

Hence I have decided to change my lifestyle. Now I try to be asleep by 10.00p.m. even though this means sacrificing my favourite television programs. Unless I go to toastasters' meetings or concerts, then I try to be in bed by 11.30p.m. All these years I have got by with an average of 4 hours of very deep sleep a day. Hence I have gained an extra 5 years of time.! This is why I sometimes tell others that I am fifty five plus five.

I will also reduce my intake of food and ensure I have sufficient exercise everyday by walking to my office or doing areobic exercise while watching television programs. I will try not to pack so many activities in one day so that it leaves me utterly exhausted when I fall onto my bed to sleep!

Just as Michael Rodgrigues, our leader of the speechcraft program in Changi Prison, had asserted, "It's great to take time to smell the flowers!"
