Mr G and I celebrated our union on 18 July 2009. Now I am taking a break as I prepare for the next wedding celebration in Kuala Lumpur (KL)... so I have been home for the couple of days until we drive up this Friday.
Apart from looking and sieving through photos, I have been feeling rather lifeless at home. The weather here makes it difficult for me to wana to walk down or up the hill from my house - so I have been staying put in my place.
I have also not been exercising as I am afraid my back pain would come back and it will show on my face when I am in KL. I have not been going to the pool to relax and tan as I am afraid the tan would not go well with the more conservative relatives in KL.
Worst of all, I feel a little handicapped and even more lazy to touch things with long manicured nails. I have to change the angle I punch my keyboard with these long nails that I am afraid might break. After the KL wedding, its farewell manicure (probably for the rest of my life).
To "pep" myself a little, I resorted to reading Robert Colliers, here's an extract:
Just take stock of yourself for a moment. Are your muscles tough, springy and full of vim? Do they do all you ask of them -- and then beg for more? Can you eat a good meal -- and forget it?
If you can't, its your own fault. You can have a body alive with vitality, a skin smooth and fine of texture, muscles supple and virile. You can be the man you have always dreamed of being.
You who envy the rosy cheek and sparkling eye of youth, who awake in the morning weary and unfreshed, who go to your daily tasks with fagged brain and heavy tread - just remember that Perfect Youth or Perfect Health is largely a state of mind.
