Typical weekday schedule since "retirement"

Picture Credits To This Article.

It's been almost a month since I left the work force. I get questions from friends and ex colleagues every now and then about what have I been doing since. For new readers to my blog, you can refer to this page about my decision to take a career break after close to 15 years of work. 

If you ask me how I feel now, all I can say is, I am so tired. Tired from all the social engagements. For some reason, the number of social gatherings went up exponentially since I left work. Alot more drinking and dining with friends. Like tonight, an ex colleague jio for gathering, I am still thinking if I should go. 

Coincidentally, a close friend of mine is on study break, so we meet up quite often during the day to explore the parks, gardens and beaches of Singapore. This, I like, it's quite relaxing and I have known this guy since secondary 1.

I reckon by August, things will start to calm down as all social gathering "obligations" have been met, and things will slow down alot. I dont profess to be a go getter kind of guy or someone with an abundance of energy, using every minute to the fullest to improve my knowledge on everything around the world. I am the everyday man, too lazy/nua to read anything useful or acquire new knowledge unless there is really a need to.  A typical day for me will most likely be like this.

0530hrs - Wake Up

0530-0730hrs - Preparing kids for School

0730-0800hrs - Sending kids to School

0800-0900hrs - Breakfast

0900-1100hrs - Cleaning the House ( Weekly affair, if not, I will go for a bicycle ride, or some HIIT session)

1100-1200hrs - Surf Net in General. 

1200-1400hrs - Lunch with Wife

1400-1500hrs - Nap? But I dont have Nap Habit. Maybe I can catch up on all the sleep debt. 

1500-1530hrs -  Surf Net in General. 

1530-1730hrs- Initially I have penciled in RES exam studying here, but I dont think I will get the slot. So maybe I will substitute this with learning how to cook? First of all, need to find the recipes!

1730-2030hrs - Kids time

2030-2200hrs - TV Time with wife

Doing more exercise and learning how to cook are in my KPIs during my career break. As and when  I finally get my RES exam slot, then that will really fill up my day. Who says not working will be boring? I definitely don't think so!

Do you guys have any workout tips (especially for tummy. I have skinny limbs but flabby tummy) or cooking recipes to share? Fire them this way!
