Celebration.


Today we celebrated. A celebration 2 years in the making. A celebration of a new title. Today we celebrated Jas's graduation from NIE. She's been a student there for the last 2 years. Training to become a teacher. I couldn't be there for her graduation due to work but I did manage to make it in time for the photo sessions after it. After her graduation ceremony we went to buy durians, drop them off at a few friend's homes and then we went out for dinner with her parents.

After dinner mints.

Well, dinner with my in-laws went according to plan. Dinner was simple, fried eggs, stir-fried cabbage, roasted chicken with pork on the side and rice. Jas did a wonderful job of cooking the dishes. I did what I could to help prepare and clear up after dinner. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food and it's all gone now. Tomorrow is Jas's graduation. She officially graduates from NIE. Sadly I won't be able to attend her graduation due to work. Her parents will be attending it and I'll meet them straight after work to go out and celebrate with dinner somewhere. So proud of her. Anyway, it't getting late. I want to catch Glee on TV in a while. So good night and sweet dreams world.

Paradigm Shift.

0600H - Woke Up
0630H - Left home
0645H - Dropped Jas off at work
0710H - Reached my office
0725H - Warm Up
0730H - IPPT

Chin Ups - 9
Sit Up - 40
Standing Board Jump - 239cm
Shuttle Run - 9.7s
2.4KM run - 12mins 13secs
(Happy with the results from the 4 stations but super disappointed with 2.4KM run)

0900H - Had porridge for breakfast
0930H - Left office for IKEA
1000H - Bought folding chairs
1030H - Returned Home
1045H - Hanged clothes out to dry and put a new batch of clothes for washing
1100H - Swept the floor and cleared out the trash

Now I'm going to wash both the toilets and vacuum the house. My in-laws are coming over for dinner tonight. Need to clean up the house and prepare dinner. I know its still early to cook dinner but still have to clean the house. A month ago, if I had to take my IPPT, I'd just go, run and come home. I'll bathe and probably go back to bed. Now that I'm married, Ive got to wash my dirty running gear, clean the house and prepare for guest coming over for dinner tonight. I'm not complaining but a new chapter of my life has begun and with it comes new responsibilities. I don't have my mum and dad cleaning up behind me and doing the house hold chores for me. I've got to learn to do them all by myself now.
Well, the toilets await my scrubbing. I'll post some pictures of what I cooked for dinner later tonight. Cheers.

First time.

It's been almost a month since I got married. Life changes drastically after you get married. Surprisingly, it has not changed for the worse. Being married it not has hard as I thought it would be. I guess it's easier when the person you marry is just so perfectly wonderful and complements you in every way. I know, you may say that it's till early and problems will arise and I'll learn married life is not always a bed of roses. I agree but I think Jasmine and me are on the right path. Honestly, the biggest change so far has been looking after our own home. Living with your parents for so long, you take for granted everything you parents have done for you, your whole life. Now when you don't have mum to cook and clean for you, its really different. We have to do everything ourselves. It makes you feel more appreciative of your parents and all the years of doing things for you. Well, it's almost 1pm. need to go get ready for work. This is my first post and well, there will be a lot more. What life throws at me, I'll share it with you all. Cheers.
