八、九年前开始觉得自己老了。
那是心态上的老。身体还可以，但内心不再年轻。
不知道自己有没有热血过，但可以肯定的是八、九年前开始就不再是年轻的心。
昨天刷牙时看着镜子里自己的样子，顿时脑中浮现的是老态龙钟。
近几年开始发觉身体越来越不行，但昨天看自己倒影觉得一副老样还蛮突然的。
我老了，不止内心而已，外型样貌都老了。

Potato mode on!
My annual leave is some decimal point away from the 40 days limit by the end of May, so by the end of June the +1.67 days will get it over the limit and all the excess will burn.
Figured that instead of taking one or two days off every month to keep it just under the limit, I might as well take a week off and then don't have to worry about leave going over the limit and burn for a quarter.
So that's what I did, I am off for a week, yippie!
Technically my leave should have begun by the end of Friday workday, but as usual as soon as I sent out my out of office notice I got a call requesting thermal assessment for a project proposal. As if it cannot wait a week...
Oh well, so I have been working overtime in the weekend, both yesterday and today. Just set the second version of the model to run and will check it tonight, hopefully it has completed solving by then.
Regardless of what the results are this time round, I don't intend to work on it anymore until after my leave.
That's the plan at least, and that's what I told the managers.
So potato mode is officially on! Please do not disturb if it's anything work related. =)

Stress rash?
I have these rashes on my body for about six weeks now, soon I can use month as the time unit...
Anyway, initially I thought they are heat rashes, but in the first visit to the clinic, the doctor said they are probably some allergic reaction.
The doctor doesn't know what caused the allergic reaction, and it's not a test they can do in the clinic, so the experiment began, with me as the white mouse. The doctor prescribed me some lotion, shampoo and medicine, and they seemed to work.
In the followed up consultation two weeks after, the doctor was satisfied with the progress and reduced the number of treatment stuff in the prescription, and set up another follow up consultation in two weeks time.
Unfortunately the rashes came back in force after the second consultation. So today I went for the third consultation and since we still don't know what caused the rashes, the experiment continues...
The doctor asked me some questions, trying to figure out what caused the outbreak of the rashes but since I have not changed my food, drink and diet, my exercise routine (or the lack of...), my working environment, my shampoo and soap, have no new pet or plant, et cetera, we continue to be puzzled.
Then the doctor asked about my stress level. Hmm... now that's an interesting hypothesis. I know I am not good at managing stress and my workload (and sometime my family) is definitely giving me stress, but then again, I have been under stress for a few years now. It's not a recent thing.
When I told wifey about this, she said maybe I am getting old, the body can no longer take the stress level, so it's giving me signal, hmm... so, the allergen is stress? I have stress rash?
Anyway, if you haven't guessed it, yup there is a follow up consultation two weeks from now. If things do not improve by then, I will insist on what I told the doctor today: to do an allergy test. Just give me a referral to a specialist already, two months of being the white mouse is quite enough.

Stopped myself working after dinner today, already did 7 hours and 21 minutes overtime this weekend.
The unhealthy "usual" would be to work before lunch and after dinner, with the time between lunch and dinner my weekend relax, personal time. And if it's super crunch time, then it would be working the whole day, usually longer hours than normal work weekday.
I am darn tired of this, working overtime during the weekend, the continuous work/life imbalance.
Hopefully this is the last weekend I have to work overtime before the next such need arises, and may that next such need be a long time away...
Regardless, I am taking the week off the next coming week. Enough is enough.

The invincible
Most teenagers think they will live forever, that they are indestructible.
Coupled with their young hot blood, inexperienced and the ignorant recklessness, they do many things that the more matured and experienced can only shake our heads at.
Knew that if there was anyone in the family that would be infected by Covid-19, it would be one of the kids. What with their high exposure attending school with the many other teenagers with the same kind of attitude, and their many social outings.
So I am not surprised when the elder son is tested positive today. Given how nobody seems to care anymore, this is bound to happen. Just a matter of when.
I am glad that so far he is not experiencing any other symptoms except the fever yesterday. Here's hoping that he will make a full and swift recovery and no other family member will be infected.
The coronavirus is still the one laughing, still the one living on, still the invincible.

Long weekend
First weekend of June is a three days long weekend thanks to Agong's birthday.
Yippie! =D
Already know will be working through the three days long weekend because of the workload and deadline.
Boo! =(
Current plan is to work only half day every day, and give myself the other half off.
Actual work duration will depend on the progress, I need to get the thermal model of the latest project completed and start the simulation by the end of these three days.
Or die trying.
