2.1.2026 Friday - last pig out for the new year?

 It's afternoon tea (which merged into dinner) - a simple way to close out the first work day in the new year. I like how the young ones get into the spirit of things cooking bird's nest drinks and helping with the food preparation. Fiona brings James, someone I have met at the club (we say hi to each other while he goes to the gym and I am playing squash). Rachel and Chloe are delightful in their chatter and their energy - they spent a lot of money on their food gifts.

After this, I will follow a new eating plan to reduce calorie intake. I have the will power so it should be easy, use the focus and routine which I use for my exercise routine for the eating plan. And get into a habit.

1.1.26 Thursday - a very rainy start to the year.


 One of our customised greeting cards - one if the nicest response is from HJ who says 'with friends like us this is not wishful thinking, but reality'.

The rain continues, it puts a damper on things - no racket sports for 3 weeks already. And I have become slightly addicted to swimming at the PD pool. 

31.12.2025 - taking stock

 


More than 10 years of running this practice, there are some days when I feel alone. This happens when folks are busy or on their holidays, I miss our chats that confirm and re-assure ourselves.

We tidy up our office, and decide to convert the lobby into a space for plants. Our team gotong royong very well, I'm glad to see. After seeing how much effort Si Yong has put in to his new office, it's very nice and welcoming. But it's not us, we are the simple restaurant that dishes surprisingly nice home cooked meals.

We submit Roxy Impiana for PAM Awards, let's see what happens.
