The Implant Part 1

I had an upper cracked molar back in February 2021. The dentist put a band around it and the band is usually effective for 12 months but mine lasted for 4 grateful years. I finally had it extracted in June 2025 when it started hurting again. Cracked tooth pain is a different level. 

It is no good to leave empty gaps from missing teeth. The remaining teeth get lonely and start moving around. The dentist would usually recommend implants. Back in June 2025, after the trauma tooth extraction, there was no way that I would remotely consider doing an implant. 

Time flies and I lived in harmony with the missing tooth. I know I should get my implant, which required a substantial bone mass and bone mass is likely to decrease with age. Of course I procrastinated, until I was motivated by Auntie S, who did 2 implants at one go. I must clap for her. 

I made it my 2026 resolution to have my implant done. I went for my yearly check up and told the dentist that I have decided to proceed, even when I am not ready. I had an xray and the dentist assessed that I have enough bone for the implant. He had wanted to share the implant procedure with me but I declined. Whatever he says would just scare off whatever little determination that I had. 

The appointment was scheduled for a later date and then pushed back at the last minute bcos the dentist was on urgent leave. Alamak. My poor heart. 

Finally, I went to the dentist this afternoon. Ignorance is bliss and I totally didn’t try to find out what the procedure entails. Before I left the house, Nana asked me and I totally didn’t want to think about it. I cycled to the clinic at Boon Keng. I had my ear pod and Nana’s stress ball, hoping that these would tide me through the ordeal. Nana generously offered me one of her better stress balls. 

The dentist had to explain the procedure and I finally listened. Knowing gives some assurance too. 1st an injection (or injections), then cut open the gum, drill through the bone, fit in the screw and see if firm. Give it 3 months to heal and rest, before coming back for part 2. The dentist gave me a “jack” to help me keep my mouth open. Yes, very much needed and very helpful. 

Surprisingly, the injections were very tolerable. For most part, I barely feel them. I got more jabs after I told the dentist that I still could feel the his pokes. Once numbed and the procedure started, I could “feel” the scrapping, which I figured out eventually that it was the cutting of gum. Then, the drilling started. That went on for a while, before the screw was fitted in. A screwdriver was used to tighten the screw and I could hear the clicking. I almost died. 

I was sent for another xray, to make sure that the screw was properly set in place. Thankfully it was and the dentist said that the screw was firm in the bone. If is isn’t, part 2 of the implant procedure would entail another mini surgery. Nooooooo…. Then the stitches and this part also went on forever. I can imagine how tough it was given the limited space (that is my mouth’s opening) for the dentist to work with. Finally, a safety cap was put on until the appointment a few months later. When the dentist removed the “jack”, my jaw was so sore.

My next appointment was a week later to remove the stitches. I was finally sent home with antibiotics and painkiller. I can feel the stitches. Eeeeewwwwkkk. 

The pain wasn’t too bad, even when the anaesthetic was wearing off. I could continue with my 5pm meeting and didn’t talk funny. I went dinner with Nana and all I could manage was dessert. I couldn’t open my mouth too wide and definitely didn’t dare to chew on my right side. I had to comfort myself with a Luckin coffee. Hoho. 

Am I hungry now? Yes! But I wouldn’t risk eating. Let’s hope that I would feel much better tomorrow. I was given strong painkillers. The pain isn’t too bad, just a dull ache but I think Panadol would help with better sleep. 

By the way, the stress ball and music were totally the right choice.

Danga Bay for VEP

We got our new Tesla in June this year. Bcos we didn't have the VEP, we couldn't drive into JB for last minute day or overnight trips, like how we used to. After procrastinating for months, we finally got down to applying the VEP. While the car and TnG account are under Daddy Lim, the VEP account is mine. It is this way since the old car time. 

Applying for a VEP isn't complicated. We just needed to ensure that all the documents are available, which is Daddy Lim’s responsibility. Then, we encountered a problem - the system indicated the TnG account wasn't linked to the VEP application. After searching online, we discovered that we needed to tell TnG to link the account to Daddy Lim’s passport, and not his NRIC, bcos the VEP recognise only his passport. Why the extra step? Clearly, whoever designed the VEP didn’t talk to his friend who did up the TnG. 

Bcos AI and Chatbot rule the world, trying to connect to a human to do what is needed become the next hurdle. We eventually managed to log a ticket for the TnG and finally an email came, asking for documents for verification and the problem was finally resolved. Phew. 

We got the VEP tag application done. Daddy Lim decided that we would go to JB to do the collection and I earned an impromptu day trip to JB. Nice, I have quite some stuff to buy. We had initially thought of a night's stay, only for Daddy Lim to remember that he has a Company BBQ to attend on Saturday evening. It is ok. With the VEP done, we can have many day/overnight trips in the future. 

Our last drive to JB was a while ago and we forgot what time we usually set off. We decided on 6am but only got out of the house at 6.20am, which also meant that we would be late for our massage appointment at 7am. 

It was very hazy and the traffic had already built up. Actually, the wait for the Singapore custom wasn’t too bad. The jam was actually on the bridge to JB. I supposed that meant that the held up was at the Malaysia custom? Then again, things were moving pretty decently when we were approaching the Malaysia custom. I duno anymore but was just happy to cross the custom on both sides. 

We managed to postpone our massage appointment to 8am and even had time for bfast. We found a mini kopitiam nearby, which is a life saver bcos Daddy Lim was hungry. It is no joke traveling with a hungry man. 

We went to the usual 24 hours massage place for 1.5 hours of foot massage. The massages were not exactly great but it is the only place that I had found that operates 24 hours and is near to the immigration and good bfast places. We usually go to a timsum place nearby after our massage. Daddy Lim didn’t quite care; all he needed was a place for some eye shut after having to wake up at 5ish to drive into JB. Some eye shut he did he get. 

Since our bfast quest was accomplished and it is not advisable to have 2 bfasts, we proceeded to do a car wash. 

All clean and nice. 

The timing was perfect and we drove to Danga Bay, which was 15 mins according to Google map. Driving in Malaysia, even with Google map required a lot of guess work. Do we go up the flyover or are we supposed to stay down? How come Google map is asking us to do an Uturn in front when this right turn seems to bring us to where we need? Do we follow Google map? 

Thankfully, we found the VEP collection center. Then, we were directed to the nearby 7-11 to have the appointment confirmation and payment receipt printed. Why this administration? I duno ah, just do. 

Then it was waiting, which fortunately was short. All in all; it took about 30 mins to get everything done. 

Can you see the tag?

The kitty who was “guarding” the center. So pretty.

The final stop was the Southkey shopping mall for some shopping and lunch. 

We forgot to take picture until we were all done. Can you guess what we had for lunch? Haha. It was yummy. 

We were very efficient and completed lunch and shopping within 3ish  hours. We left the mall at about 2pm to head home. The checkpoint app said that it would take about an hour. 

Strangely, there was almost no q at the Malaysia custom. Again, the jam was on the bridge and the traffic was inching forward, especially that lane that we chose to Q. #murphy’slaw

Then again, once we finally arrived at the counter, the immigration clearance barely took mins. Again, we were puzzled at the long Q. As the app suggested, it did take us about an hour to clear both immigration. 

We made it back to Singapore in time and Daddy Lim even took a nap before heading to his BBQ. Do you know why it rained this afternoon? Yes, bcos we washed car. Hahaha.

ACJC Honors Day

Yday was the last day of school for Nana and also ACJC Honors Day. I have mentioned previously that I have never seen my kids onstage receiving awards. Ok, maybe I have; Nana was recognised on stage for her NH contributions to Council and Netball. She was in the Council Exco. 

There was a chance yday. Nana was nominated by ACJC for Colors Award. This is a National award from Singapore Sports School Council to recognise students for sporting excellence, character and sportsmanship. I asked her if she wanted me to attend the Honors day and she said that there isn’t a need. Ok! I am still haunted by Zaky’s painful 4 hours graduation ceremony. 

I excitedly asked her about her Honors day before bed. She said that it was very fun, and there were a lot of photos and autographs, given that it is also the last school day for their painful JC journey. 

Her class picture.

 

This is what she is getting her Colors award for - canoeing. I am mega proud of her. She was new to the sports, which required a lot of physical efforts and time commitment. They spent many hours every week, not only practicing canoeing in the waters but gym work and early morning before school runs to build stamina. She didn’t win anything in her 1st NSG; she was afterall barely 3 months into the sports. She almost gave up on the CCA, bcos it was way too tiring. She persevered and then was subsequently appointed team captain. In her 2nd NSG, she clinched 2 medals! I also think she deserves the Color award. 

Nana said that she was also recognised for Christian Fellowship service. In addition, there were 2 funny awards - ACenthu and AC BFF award. There were 3 winners for each of the award and she won both. 

 

I know. I am also wondering if she spent her JC years studying or having fun. 

Anyhow, school has officially ended. Zaky has started his O levels practical exams and his written papers will start in the 3rd week Oct. When Zaky is in his last week of exam, Nana will start her A levels. 

Fighting!

Fresh Bread Again

I can’t remember how long ago did I buy the break maker. It was sitting idle at home for a while bcos I was lazy and it was easier to just buy a loaf. 

Over the weekend, I suddenly decided that I would use the bread maker. All the flour and yeast had expired and Daddy Lim was kind enough to humor my sudden enthusiasm and drove me to Phoon Huat for fresh ingredients. Home made bread is not cheap; the good ingredients come at a premium. 

My 1st few attempts with the bread maker ended with very dense loaves and I think it had to do with the insufficient yeast. Thereafter, I tend to be more generous with the yeast, but not excessive to end up with explosive loaves. 

This time, I decide to make a Brioche bread, which is rich in butter. I substituted brown sugar for white sugar bcos it is what we have at home. Voila! 

The sweet smelling of the bread filled the house in the last hours. The smell was so good. The bread had risen very nicely too. 

I left it to cool overnight and sliced it the next morning. It was so messy and I forgot the stress of urging the family to eat my bread before it turns stale. I was extra hardworking in making bfast for the family in the next few mornings. Haha. 

The bread turns out to be delicious. It has to be with the extra butter and sugar that the suggested recipe calls for. I am happy to say that we finished all the bread. Yay! 

I brought extra flour and butter. More bread!

Personal Training with E at Oomph

To date, we have done 3 sessions with E. The 1st one was a baseline finding session and we felt very well after the session. The 2nd one, we started directly with the threshold weights and it wasn’t too bad too. I have some minor muscle soreness the following day, but E reminded that this is not the indication of getting stronger. The session didn’t take a full hour and I felt a little shortchanged for what we paid. We then did some “warm down” inclined sit ups and back lift to end the session.

Last Sunday, we went for our 3rd session, after a night of dancing at SimplyRetro (drinking for Daddy Lim). My back was aching like hell and I was sleepy. I stole a nap in the car and bought a Luckin coffee before the gym. I need that little sweet encouragement.

We did the same exercises but E either increased the weight and reduced the reps (from 12 to 8) for some exercises or increased the weight and reps (from 12 to 15) for others. How did he decide? It depends on whether he thinks we are already at the max threshold for that exercise, which he deduces from the agony on our face when we attempt the exercise. Hahahaha. I duno if that is the best measurement/ assessment but he is the expert. 

For some of the exercises, we now struggle the last few reps. E said that our need to fully rest that 90 secs between exercises is also a good indicator of whether we have reached our threshold. Next week, it would be the same concept - for those exercises that we are already at threshold, the weight may be the same but the rep will increase by 1. 

I prefer to do heavier weights but lesser rep. E said that heavier weights with lower rep builds strength faster with the opposite builds endurance. Both are equally important. The session also ended before the hour was up. This time, I was happy to end earlier. Hoho.

Daddy Lim is very motivated. He has a new gym in the office now, and even did a session on his own during the weekday. 

I duno when we will do another weigh in assessment but E said that the ability to lift heavier and more rep is already a good indication of us getting stronger. With more muscle, metabolism will also become higher and thus leaner. I don’t think we have any visible improvement yet. It is afterall a once a week session and we are eating the same. Let’s see how it goes.

Nana’s A Level Prelims

It is now Nana’s turn to get back her results. 

Nana takes 3 H2 subjects - Maths, Physics and Geography and 2 H1 subjects - GP and Economics. She has cleared her H1 Chinese in the beginning of the year with a B and had happily dropped it. She has also passed her Project Work, which is a prerequisite for Uni. For entry to university, she would only need her 3 H2 subjects and GP.  If she does well enough for Chinese and/ or Econs, these can be used to pull up her overall score. Otherwise, she can discard them totally. Nana has already decided that it is the latter and has placed minimum effort on Econs. Oh boy, Econs used to be my favorite subject. 

Nana was very worried about her prelim results bcos she felt that she did badly despite mugging really hard. It is ok, A level really makes everybody doubt their self worth. I remember doing badly for prelims too and got all confused if I was studying the right thing before the actual A levels. I survived and so would Nana. She is so capable academically but always think so little of herself. 

Finally, the prelims results are back. I think the results are better than she had expected. She got a D for GP bcos she wrote out of point for the essay and said that many of her friends got D too. At least she now know what constitutes writing out of point. For the other 3 H2s, she has obtained Bs. She said that they are mostly borderline Bs. 

It is ok, there is still time for the final dash. I googled and ACJC, like many JCs, tend to set papers harder than A levels. I thought her prelim results are already quite decent. 

Nana is indeed making the last bit worth and studying every hard. A levels will start in November. Meanwhile, Zaky starts his O levels today with a Chemistry practical. He said that it was ok and that there was a chemical that he couldn’t make out the composition. He peeked at the boy’s beside him, decided to write down the same compound and turned out to be correct. Ya, he peeked! 

I had the chance to send Nana to school on the day that we attended Zaky’s graduation ceremony. 

This is my cue to tell the kids how it was when I had to walk the serene path from the MRT to ACJC 30 years ago - the unsheltered pathway and without the commercial buildings that have now replaced the grass patches and trees. I used to count the number of Mercedes that stopped outside of the school gate to drop the wealthy kids. Do I miss my JC days? No.. JC life is indeed too hard.

SimplyRetro x 2

This has become our regular Saturday hangout.

I only have the aunties as my regular friend groups. Relationship takes too much time to maintain and I am introverted with people that I aren’t familiar with. It just takes too much time and energy. While there are other friends/ ex-colleagues that I meet up once in a blue moon, the aunties are really the only ones that I make a lot of efforts. The monthly gathering aside, we meet up in smaller groups every now and then. Maybe a lunch during work week, a random dinner, an ad hoc weekend meet up, and recently, the SimplyRetro. 

These are not only my normal kakis but my party kakis when I was growing up, from Ridley, to Mdm Wong, SOS, China Jump, Double O, St James… ya, we grew up during the retro songs era, coupled with the Barbie girl and butterfly. Hohoho. Not all of them are party people though and it was partying with different sub groups at different points.

It had been so many years and we never really stopped partying. Actually it was just Auntie SL, S and I. However, as we get older, a good dancing place is hard to come by. Most of the time, we feel so old standing beside a 20 something. Never mind that the 20 something can’t dance and just wanted to get wasted. We can now afford the booze but just didn’t want to feel and look old. The last frequent (like once in few months) hangout was Mambo at Zouk, until they crowded the place with young kids, giving free entry to students. Ya, that young. Zzzzzz. 

Then we found SimplyRetro and a big group of like-minded middle age people who simply wanted to dance and have fun. We have visited it so frequently, that we made “friends”, familiar faces that we hi/ bye and dance with but don’t even know their names, even exchanging friendly hugs. Then the endless gossips/ small talks in our group chat after the night of partying. Auntie R has now joined the dancing club. Hoho.

I went to SimplyRetro with the dancing aunties earlier in September. 

Auntie SL and R left slightly earlier while Auntie S and I stayed until the lights were turned on. 

I almost went deaf. My eardrums hurt and I think I would get NID soon with all the loud music from the gym classes and SimplyRetro. So I got myself this. So atas and pretty!

Last Saturday, it was with Auntie SR and H and partners. Auntie SR belongs to the dancing aunties group but up to today, we have yet to find a slot that fits into her busy schedule. 

After all the drinking experience, I figured out that we might actually saved more $$ if we buy a bottle. Oh gosh, the last time I did that with friends, I was in my 20s! 

It was the 1st time that we celebrated birthday at SimplyRetro. Happy birthday Auntie H! 

 

I met many familiar but duno names people. They were like “where are your (real) friends?”. Another day, another day. I had a good time like always. Hoho. Auntie SR and Uncle B danced the whole night too. Uncle B is an energetic bunny. Auntie H and C fomo and joined in the fun at some point. Daddy Lim guarded the table the whole night. I think he was bored and I can now go SimplyRetro with the aunties and without him. Haha. 

The loop earplugs worked fine. It was still loud but not deafening. Auntie H and Uncle C left slightly earlier. They managed to catch the last bus. The rest of us left a little before closing. 

The next one, if I managed to book, would be with the dancing aunties. It is so difficult to book an indoor table now. The slots open up 28 days before and I am not keeping track. We still have a quarter of a bottle left that needs to be consumed within a month. Ya, only Daddy Lim and Uncle B drank a lot more. The rest of us are very conscious of our kidneys. Lol.

Zaky’s Graduation Ceremony

I don’t fancy attending the school events, be it the PTMs, open houses, leadership investitures, whatever ceremonies. I do attend if needed and usually the major ones. The rest? If the kids said that they are not that important, I skipped. Well, I just feel that time can be put to better use than to listen the speaker (usually Principal or equivalent) talks for an hour. They almost always send the same message, just in different forms. The kids grow up anyhow. 

Having said so, we can’t miss Zaky’s Graduation Ceremony. That is a “major event” in my categorisation. It was on last Thursday morning. I supposed the school assumed that most parents have annual leave to take. 

Zaky has to report to school at the same time, at 7.40am. The original plan was to park in the school, drop him and we wait for the ceremony, which was starting at 8.45am. Then we were told that there was no parking in the school, so Daddy Lim had to park at the nearby HDB. 

I bought bfast for Zaky and wanted to wait but realised that I was the only crazy parent who did that. The school was just full of students. 

At least Zaky was willing to still hold my hand, even in school. 

I decided to join Daddy Lim for bfast and we went back an hour later. Google map said that the walk was 22 mins long. Luckily I didn’t gong gong follow the map and was at the kopitiam in 7 mins. We lingered until it was nearly the time, then we walked to SST. 

The ceremony was held at the MPH. We walked past the colors flag. 

Zaky is in Red and they are last?!!!! Wasn’t he the house captain last year, who promised to make Red great again in his election speech? Lol. Bluff people one. 

The hall was already crowded when we arrived and we were given a card to write a message for the kids.

I remembered that Zaky was in 4-10. Actually, he is in 4-01. Zzzzzz. At least I got the numbers correct. I only found out when his class was called and he walked into the hall with his class. It is ok, I was just being fair. I didnt remember Nana’s sec 4 class too. 

We happened to be in a strategic spot and got to see Zaky everytime he walked past. The students went up the stage one by one to shake hand with the Principal and received a bear.

Which also meant that we had to watch 200 students do that. It was so painful. 

Daddy Lim left at 11ish to go for lunch and then work. I had to go back to office in the pm too but always have more flexibility at work. I was so super bored waiting and ended up watching my Korean drama. Don’t judge me, I was definitely not the only one. 

The ceremony finally ended with some dance and singing performance. The students sang their school song as the finale.

The parents were ushered to the level 1 for light refreshment. It was light and very crowded. I found Zaky’s card and brought it back to the right table. Else the Isaac Wong in 4-10 would have 2 cards. Hoho. 

I didn’t do the refreshment; I had to leave for the office too. The students were still in the MPH, watching the special messages left for them by their teachers. I passed Zaky’s his “bouquet”; I made one for Nana 2 years ago. 

Nana and friends didn’t finish much of the sweets and chocolates 2 years back but Zaky and friends are different story. With so many boys in his class/ school, no problem at all.

I made it back to the office on time. I have done my part. Zaky, happy graduation! The last little bit. All the best to your O levels!

Zaky’s O Level Prelim

Zaky has completed his prelims before the school holidays. Am I worried about his O levels? Absolutely!

Nana is the hardworking one and never fail to show/ tell us how hard she is studying. 

I duno why Nana was trying to squeeze everything into that one piece of paper. 

I barely get to see Zaky studying. It would always be too late/ early/ tired/ hot/ cold/ sunny/ rainy/ whatever to study. He said that he did and studied hard, but I barely get to witness. I got even more anxious when I heard that the other 3 tigers are doing well - ER got DSA via vball to ASRJC, T got EAE to do Business in TP and V, who is always the hardworking one has set his eyes on a good JC. What about Zaky? Sob!

His prelims results have come hack since school re-opens and he did quite well. He has got A1 for Emaths, Physics and Electronics, A2 for English and Amaths and B3 for Chemistry and Geo/SS. He totally didn’t expect the Geo/ SS results, as he wouldn’t need humanities to go to Poly and was giving it much less focus. His Chinese O levels is a B3 but I don’t think he would need his Chinese grade (hopefully not!) for his L1R4 or R5. 

Based on his prelims, his L1R4 would be 7 points and L1R5 would be 10. While he did much better for prelims than Nana, I wasn’t at all worried when Nana got 15 (L1R5) got prelims bcos NH is notorious for setting extremely hard prelim papers. SST is not as academically driven as NH. I can only hope that he could ideally improve a little bit more for O levels or at least maintain the same standard. 

I have always think that Zaky is as capable academically as Nana. While Nana is more hardworking, Zaky grasped concepts much easier, making him stronger in Maths and Sciences. I have been trying to be more positive. The truth is that he wouldn’t have any issues getting into that SP Engineering course that he is eyeing. It has a COP of 13 points and I am confident that Zaky can do much better than that. What I wanted is for him to do very well for O levels and make us proud. Or do so well that he would be tempted to go JC. It is for my own selfish motives. May God grant me the heart to take whatever results. 

Next up, Nana’s prelim results. While she only has 5 subjects, her prelim stretches forever and her last paper would be on coming Friday. I am less hopeful for good results. Everybody struggles with A level prelims.

We want to be Healthier… and Fitter and Slimmer

I do a lot of cardio exercises, going for my Fitness First (FF) gym classes up 5 classes a week. I usually go for the Bodycombat and Step classes. I have almost totally ditched the treadmill, elliptical and HiiT, unless I travel and make do with what is in the gym or any open space if there isn’t a gym. 

The cardio classes that I do come with some, but very little strength exercises, usually the squats, lunges and push-ups, which made use of body weight. I don’t like weights, core, and equipment since my 1st encounter with gym in my secondary school days. Gym sessions are so boring; give me high impact, loud music cardio classes anytime. 

They say that we lose muscle mass in our 40s. They say that while cardio exercises are good, we also need to do weight training to maintain muscle mass. I know. 

Finally, I put the nagging voice to action. I have decided to look for a Personal Trainer (PT). There are plenty of PTs in FF but many of them look dodgy, like they themselves built some muscles and then try to be some PTs. The PT sessions at FF are not cheap too, each 1 hour session cost $120 to $150, depending on how many sessions signed up. 

I wanted a PT so that I don’t mess with the gym equipment and injure myself. At the same time, I wanted to be pushed to do more. More importantly, I thought that I can accompany Daddy Lim, he definitely needed the extra exercises more than I do. With his medical condition, a good PT would be crucial. I think he would also be more disciplined and motivated if I am to go for these sessions with him.

Thankfully for Google, I managed to find a few trials. The 1st one was at a boutique gym a short drive away from home. The trainer looked young and the hour was spent trying out a few exercises on a few machines. That cost us $19.90 each. We didn’t sign up with the gym - the PT looks too inexperienced. 

The 2nd one was at a gym pod in Hougang. A gym pod is a little gym in a container placed mainly in parks. We have to pay $90 for this session. 

The PT was another young chap, who 1st praised that I look younger than my age, then bashed me by revealing that his mother is younger than I am. Lol. This PT worked us so hard that I already felt my muscle aching by the end of the session. We didn’t sign up too bcos we are more worried about him injuring us than training us.

Two Sundays ago, we went for a consultation with the Oompf gym, another boutique gym somewhere in Katong. It was a good 20 mins drive away. While we didn’t do any gym, the PT, E sounded very experienced. He has been PT-ing for the past 12 years and shared his experience of working with seniors and people with medical conditions. That is us. Lol.

After some thoughts, we signed up the buddy package - 9 sessions for $1,119. This is a pretty standard price. We tried our 1st session last week and it was an easy session. E said that it was to find our baseline and the following session would be more tiring. Then I realised that the exercises that we do are all the same - squats, some back push, then pull, deadlifts, shoulder lifts… E said that this is typically considered as a “all rounder” session. If we go more frequently, then we can do more targeted areas per session. It is ok, once a week sounds right. The gym is solely for training with PT and we got the gym to ourselves. 

It was fun to workout with Daddy Lim. E took special care of Daddy Lim and he got to do different exercises given his mobility constraints. Daddy Lim is so motivated and even wanted to start eating healthier. I wouldn’t be surprised that he would start losing weight and building up very quickly. Haiz, how come it is so much easier for men? 

At some point, when we are confident with the equipment, we can then start doing the regime on our own. The PT is there to keep us safe and of course to push us. Weight fitness really needs hard work. 

I got no muscle ache from the session. Let’s see how it goes this weekend.
