1 January 2020



Welcome to the start of the new decade. I wanna say time flies but I cannot really say that because some time early in this decade I felt like time grinds to a halt. At other times, time does fly, especially at the later stage of the decade. When I’ve settled down with my current job and devote most of my time to my family.

What’s my resolution for this new year, new decade? Like many people lose weight of course. I know I’ve ballooned myself between my ideal weight to currently mild obesity. Time to put a stop to that like seriously. Starting January 1st, I’m turning myself into a semi-vegetarian. Over the years, I learned the fastest way to lose weight and be healthy is to reduce meat intake in your menu. I would highly recommend you watch The Game Changers documentary on Netflix or wherever. It's a real eye-opener.

Being a vegetarian/vegan in a world of meat eaters is easier said than done. The first two weeks proved to be quite challenging. Most days I only managed to reduce my meat intake to half. Fully vegetarian meals? Only occasionally. I could have gone fully vegetarian if the vegetarian shop is nearby and easily accessible and the food is affordable. Presently I’m not willing to spend more than 7-8 ringgit per meal like I usually spend for lunch. That said, my wife tries her best to cook as many vegetarian food as she can but you know how they don’t last long and usually I’m left with chicken and egg. Besides, I hate to bother my wife to cook a separate vegetarian meal all the time. Let’s hope this fad last longer than it used to.

Here’s to a productive and happy decade.
