Wenjie’s ramblings as he goes through this thing called life.

So my sis was right. While the beaches in Singapore are really hopeless, when say, compare to Australia, at least it provides a relaxing and soothing few hours.
Took a few hours to lose myself in the beaches at Sentosa. Relaxing and soothing. Note to self : go back often.
I needed it badly. In my mind, I was screaming for a drink. Instead, I decided to pound the treadmill. Struggling through the pain for almost an hour, I was almost in a state of bliss as the endorphins kicked in.
I still went for that drink after though.
For the past several weeks, partly influenced by mrbrown, partly due to me getting worried over my weight gain, and also the fact that my knees continue to give me so many problems, I have been thinking of getting a bicycle.
For starters, I was thinking of getting a foldable bicycle. The advantages are obvious. I can bring the foldable bicycle and take a bus or a train to somewhere, two places that I have in mind are Lim Chu Kang area and Sentosa, and then if I am feeling tired, I can always take a bus or a train home with the bicycle. With the Land Transport Authority finally approving the Foldable Bicycle Scheme allowing foldable bicycles to be taken on the trains and buses, this sounds like a good plan.
Now once I get used to the foldable bicycle, my next purchase might be a mountain bike. One that can allow me to travel longer distance at a faster speed.
The benefits are there. Besides losing weight and keeping fit, I can do something for the environment.
This is really very tempting.
Pounding the road, just me, my iPod and the wind in my face.
My lungs exploding.
My legs aching.
What a feeling!
It hurts obviously since I have not been exercising for ages. But it feels good. Let’s see how long I can keep this going.
I think I am suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSA).
I wake up from sleep frequently suffering from headaches. I know I do snore when I am sleeping. I get tired easily during the day. At first, I thought it could be because I have high blood pressure, and I am feeling tired due to the medicine I am taking.
But after reading more about OSA, I realised I have a lot of signs and syndromes of OSA. Perhaps my high blood pressure could be a combination of genetics, work related stress and OSA.
It seems like being overweight could be my only cause of having OSA. I do not remember having all these problems years back. It seems to only start happening when I was putting on weight.
I think it is REALLY a good idea to exercise and lose weight.

Late nights again. 12 to 15 hours of work a day again.
Collecting lab results tomorrow. Why am I feeling apprehensive?
With 2 days of CNY, it is almost impossible to find anything to eat, except fast food.
Way too much fast food in 2 days. Unhealthy. Very unhealthy.

So after a year plus of non stop working, the machine breaks down.
Perhaps the few nights of unable to sleep well contributed to it.
I have been feeling tired lately. Waking up late, very late, for work without recalling me actually switching off my alarm clock when it goes off in the morning. The logical part of me puts it down to sleeping late, but the other illogical part of me is telling me it might be due to some other reasons.
Sleeping late is something I do regularly, yet I always manage to wake up on time for work. I am afraid it might be due to something else, it could be due to watching too much of House, and any sudden change in my normal routine seems like some great disease/virus/bacteria is the cause. Or it could be due to the hypertension medicine I am taking, even though I have been on it like almost 2 years.
Whatever it is, I must find a way to feel less tired.
