Keeping The Balance

14 Jan 2025 – To Stay Healthy

Sat: temp last night dropped to ~21°C after hours of relentless rain since yesterday – do not remembering to ever experience such temp to write about here in the tropics. Would usually be sleeping in just a sarong but needed a thin wrap for last night despite without any AC or fan. To those in affected flooding areas, plx take care to be safe – if this continues for another 40days&night will have to build an ark or move – pix downloaded

Enjoying this cool wet weathers with OldMovie&AudioBooks but do feel for outdoor vendors whose livelihoods depend on the weathers. Walked~7,000steps Underground,Aboveground on MP-Rd/under the shade to&fro Parkway to pick up some groceries that is unavailable in MT-hood and to get one of my favourite take-away ChickenRiceLunchS$7 for a treat on a wet day.

How beautiful is the rain!
After the dust and the heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain! – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sun: still raining&wet but not dampening the moods&spirits for another early yummy Crab-Bday-Meal, tkx to Gel,Lynnette&PG. This round is with CNY-decor in the backgound, the combination of IKEA-Mulled-Fruit-Drink+Merlot was quite a hit+homemade Tiramisu for dessert. A lovely time was had by all on this relaxing afternoon with the soothing pitter patter of raindrops. It has been 2yrs ago since we all got together for our first CrabGetTogether – a group-selfie with the same angle as in 2023 to remember by.

Jan2023: thank you thank you Gel for this early BdayDinner, one of the freshest&delicious crab meal I have had – what a treat.
Mon: Aghhh… alamak not only did my dental bridge break, so did the spin cycle of the washing machine which also happened in 15Apr2009! Time to get dental work done, a new washing machine(hopefully will not need another after this!) and bathroom floor redone. As the saying goes, it never rains but pours is quite literally for today, another wet day. Oh well, can still eat,hear,see,smell,talk,walk,etc, and nothing like a walk with an umbrella by the coast to restart&refresh especially when having most of the path to myself.
Crossed path with the EC-Pk-Rooster and found some SagaSeeds at the section by the DogRun before heading to Parkway.
No matter rain or shine, MarineParadePromenade is ready for the CNY. After a haircut+checking out some washing machines, took the bus back and ~8,000steps was what the body could handle today!
Tue: ~6,000steps and one step at a time starting with dental work@NDCS today.

Researchers have made a lot of interesting discoveries it might be that there actually is something like a mind-body connection when it comes to the immune cells in your gut and your likelihood of feeling depressed. Thus, stress can affect body&brians, so keeping the balance is important.

This is why the cells in your gut may cause depression in some
These early-stage findings show that in addition to probiotic supplements, targeting drugs to such types of receptors in the gut immune system may potentially yield novel approaches to prevent and treat stress-induced psychiatric symptoms such as depression…
