The feeling of nostalgia, it feels...

...like shit.

Hi all, I'm back online.

I've been exploring different platforms to continue this blog, and will probably move it to Medium, cos, something new. To me at least.

Anyways, the reason I mentioned that is also because I have a thing for nostalgia. Old is gold, last time was better, police also wear shorts again!

But there is also a popular saying: Never meet your heroes. And after trying out some stuff for nostalgia sake, I absolutely agree. So 3 things that made me feel this way.

1) Nokia 8110 aka Banana phone.

so chio i just had to get

I got a pretty good deal for this, not saying how much. I got it simply because I can install WhatsApp in this and use it as a spare/work phone! The feeling of tapping actual buttons, shiok la!

That shiok feeling of reliving my memories lasted all of... 1 day.

Now that I'm older, my eyes probably need a bigger screen. My fingers seem less nimble to navigate the tiny buttons, and I'm afraid to slide the cover too much in case I break it. 

Selling it. Any takers? Please?

2) Weekend Soccer.

Lately I picked up jogging and jio-ed my usual group to start soccer again. Feeling great, can run a bit more than usual and perhaps can push myself even further in the weeks to come. However, my mind was more eager than what my body could handle.

I was trying my best to keep up with the game, and maybe push myself beyond my usual limits to up my fitness. On the second last attack of the game, I was back-pedalling cos I thought I could join in the attack with my meagre ball skills. 

Then the idiot attacker changed direction suddenly and my reflexes decided to follow suit. Dumbest natural reflex ever. I pulled my back muscle and it as good as contracted immediately. And the next attack very promptly ended the game. 

this happened

So i'm still out but maybe this Sunday can attempt to play a gentle game. Maybe.

3. Drinks.

Just no. If you have decided to cut down on alcohol. Then stay away. Old habits die hard, especially if the reaction to one drink is to pour the next one very quickly. So, no. And no photos too cos wah lau, damn cui.

So yeah, I will have to say, the past is there for a reason. Learn from it. 

And yes, a quick update for my partial OnePunch Man challenge from the previous post. It is actually effective, but I fell ill and then couldn't continue. I will have to start again cos my wedding is in 3 months.

Signing off,
KJ

Fun Fact: If you rearrange the letters in NOSTALGIA, it spells GATALIONS. It doesn't mean anything though.
