Setting sail into this week's adventure, I found myself at the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), the proud dwelling of Malaysia's soaring gem, the Merdeka 118. Second only to the Burj Khalifa, this architectural behemoth pierces the sky at a jaw-dropping 828 m (2,717 ft)—a skyscraper showdown that defies the ordinary!
Navigating the cosmopolitan maze of a mall, we dined in style at Bananabro, indulging in banana leaf rice that could make any gastronome do a happy dance. And, as any well-respecting family would, we embarked on a mandatory promenade through the rooftop garden—because who can resist a stroll above the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur?
Now, my internal sleep maestro seems to have taken an impromptu vacation. Picture this: my attempt at a workout resembling the grace of a seasoned tightrope walker but channeling the spirit of Ayam Serama. Result? A comical fifteen-minute poultry-inspired performance that left me in stitches.
The week unfolded like a strategic chessboard, each moves a carefully plotted maneuver for the multiple charity drives lining up for their grand finale at year-end. Administrative hustle? Oh, it's more real than a triple shot of espresso.
Amid the orchestrated chaos, "Homo Deus" stole the spotlight in my literary escapades. Move over, other books; there's a new sheriff in town, and it's reshaping my worldview one page at a time.
Enter the pushup battalion into my workout routine—a whimsical foray for the upper body until the day I summon the courage for a full-blown weightlifting fiesta. No rush; I'm serenading my body with promises of a long-term, not-so-serious commitment. Consistency, my dear, is the secret potion.
In the realm of fresh starts, the New Year still glistens with untold tales. Keep your Vision Quest alive, even if your daily routine involves tangoing with imaginary tigers.
And as we waltz into the cosmic unknown, let the wisdom of Diana Nyad linger in your celestial chamber:
- NEVER EVER GIVE UP
- YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO CHASE YOUR DREAM
- IT IS A TEAM EFFORT
- DIANA NYAD, after her 4th attempt to swim from Cuba to Miami
Finally, let's part this week with a poem entitled:
The Road to Greatness.
In TRX's towering embrace, I stand,
Merdeka 118, a celestial strand.
Banana leaf feasts, a taste divine,
A rooftop stroll, the city's lifeline.
Sleep's erratic dance, a groggy sway,
Workout attempts, a stumble in the fray.
Planning the year, charity in sight,
A cosmic explosion, goodwill's height.
Amid admin chaos, training's pause,
"Homo Deus" whispers, heavenly applause.
Pushup foray, a regimen light,
Consistency waltzes, fitness in sight.
New Year's freshness, Vision Quest bright,
Tigers wrestled in daily light.
Diana Nyad's wisdom, a guiding star,
Avoir to the week, wherever you are.
Au Bientot...
