Went for abit of a workout after work today and met Christine's Step-dad. Not surprising since he is a regular at the gym. Very surprised at the weight he is lifting even at his age. It really pays to be constantly keeping in shape. The correct shape. Which I haven really been doing for years. I can always go back to my old excuse: Work always gets in the way. Or I can start training up now. Never too old to start something again if you really wanted to. Esp if the cost is only $1 per entry! But Thomson CC might be abit far for regular workouts. May have to scout around my area for cheap gyms and hope the PAssion card discount still applies! Only liked this place cos it has far less people during peak hours. It was horrible in CCK and clementi where I used to train way back in NS days.
Still can't really lift anything with my scrawny limbs not to mention my injuries but that won't put me off. Somehow I feel really motivated recently after the decision to have a career change to the Sports sector. Even though this may not be my final decision as it has yet to happen. Gettiing tired of engineering which really isn't where I truly belong. Even my good pals of ECO, Minghui and Zhihao looked rather apprehensive when they heard of my decision, saying that it was "a brave move".
Yes it is a big gamble. Alot of 'what ifs'. And I ain't getting any younger.
Seriously. So what?
I admit I still do not know what I'm good at. besides spending $. But at least I know where I'm not. Sticking on to my current career path is not such a bad option and most probably end up earning more than what is available on the other side of the fence. Money is always in the omnipotent position when it comes to jobs.
But
Is it me?
Freedom has always been a top priority in my lifestyle. Speak your mind, do what ever you like within ur limits. Hence the falcon insignia. Letting the spirit soar. Which have not been the case lately due to various reasons but I'm working on that.
This path, should I really choose to walk down, most probably will not have that bright a financial future. But it will finally unshackle me. Break free from the rat race. To some, to break free means having so much $$$, you can't finish spending even if you collect Ferraris for a hobbie. Not this old bird. I'm swooping down, clawing and devouring the rat. Can't feel stress if you can't see it. I live the way I want it to be. How successful the ppl around me are will not be an issue. Hopefully, the dollars and cents lost will be made up with a lighter soul. How much is that really worth? Esp when Christine is always by my side supporting me. Really thankful of her being so full of trust in me. It really makes the ride smoother.
Have signed up for NCAP course which will be starting end of August! Not fully related but still it is one of the small steps I'm proactively taking towards my goals. It's time to wake.
