This is called Dak Gal Bi one of famous korean Dish( it means marinated spicy chicken.)

By: Hill Hembrador


I am a person who takes pride on mental and physical health. Even CB has not been implemented, after work, I always make time to go to the gym and spend at least 1-2 hrs ( 3X a week, depends on the schedule)! Healthy foods are always available on the table but definitely I also have this what you called “cheat day”:) I believe everyone does. Haha..So now that CB is still on going, these routine became more aggressive as I, as much as possible home work outs takes 2-3 hrs a day. Dancing is one of my hobby when I was still schooling and CB pushed me to ignite it again;)pls..no basher..hahaha! Those videos has been posted on TikTok, IG and FB! Pls follow me @hillhembrador! Positive vibes only pls! :) 

Since there’s 24 hrs in a day, I always find time to read something, I was hooked by one online Novel which comes with more than 200 chapter ( I’m still on 67th chapter, long way to go..sighhhh) and you gotta buy every 5 chapters cost $1.48.. but anyway.. good to read! I’m not a big fan of Netflix at the moment, but I could have at least 1 movie or a series sometimes. The online courses that has been provided by NTUC helps me exercise my brain too.. big help, thank you for sharing! 

And don’t forget family and friends time on online video chat are always up to.. big help to keep you happy and positive. Btw, I miss my MBS front office family too.. so much! 

Now another 1 month to go.. so fortunate that ohhhh.. I have also realized that I could be a good chef...oh see!!? Now I’ve realized I also have talent on cooking :) my first Medium Rare Steak with a side of vegetables below👇. (Pair with a glass of tutuuttt.. you know what it means:) Haha..anyway, I would like to share everything to you all, hopefully we’ll gonna see each other and reunite soon. So to my MBS family, friends, family and relatives, to our love ones .. stay home, stay safe, stay healthy, and of course stay positive! See you very soon!

Now, I am able to read and write Korean alphabet
and understand certain Korean basic expressions! 

I have also started baking and cooking for my family, taking it as an opportunity to head out to NTUC and do some shopping! :)

During the circuit breaker period, I learnt how to speak some basic Korean words that is necessary for me to better perform my check in/interaction with Korean guests. Like asking for passport and name in a more formal way. Also, I learnt how to cook by watching videos and currently reading a book.

I been reading different kind of books during the CB period, one of my favorite book is The Monocle Guide to Hotels,Inns & Hideaways. It is a book that suitable for hotelier to read since they picked 100 hotels from all around the world which is very different from what we doing now. It includes small boutique hotels, famous hotels chain , cozy inns and some grand but unique interior designs hotel. 
Not only that, the owners of the hotel do share some stories about their business. From the food, interior designs, guest satisfaction to the history of the building. 
Highly recommend to all of you to read this book because i do gain a lot of knowledge from it. 

Last but not least, Stay healthy & we will meet up soon! ]]> 2020-05-01 11:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ramesh70govindasamy/ugmtg24d9o36kab5/wish/543815223 Mac https://padlet.com/ramesh70govindasamy/ugmtg24d9o36kab5/wish/545290209 I am practicing mindfulness. Its like developing deeper connection with myself and acknowledging random thoughts and emotions, without judgement.  It made me see things and situations in a different perspective and also helped to reduce stress and anxiety caused by uncertainties of COVID-19. 

I usually read a page of the book i bought online that is full of positive quotations and sayings to ponder daily before doing the practice.

I also did some cooking experiments and change of diets along side which is very enjoyable for me.

Firstly, currently I'm still reading a book called "The Secret" about a lot of positive thinking such as
* The life is not happening to you ,you are creating it.
* Say good, do good
* You become what you think

Secondly, doing some exercises too for lose weight.
* Walk with Leslie in YouTube channel
Lastly want to share about my favourite part that I doing is learning Basic GIS, geographic information systems in online tutorial. Believe this can help me to continue my further studies in master in future

The target is to increase my muscle % & decrease fat %... so far so good! I can fit in some of my old clothes now! Yayyy! 

It definitely built my determination to work out consistently, and it's something that I want to continue doing even after the CB! Turns out that I CAN workout at home too!

To be honest, I was VERY skeptical of e-learning. Like, how do you want me to learn something online ah? Really can learn meh? How to keep focus? 

But it turns out it works wonders for me! I felt more comfortable with e-learning compared to attending a full day course as it's less "stressful" (read: no need to talk to classmates XD) and i can go at my own pace... not to mention that I can always pause, rewind & listen to the "lecturer" again if I didn't get the idea + Google! No one's giving me the sideeye if I do that either! And the classes are well paced too! 

I've currently completed 2 online courses as of today, I target to complete 5 during the CB! And yes! I will continue e-learning after CB ends! It's so fun! ]]> 2020-05-04 08:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ramesh70govindasamy/ugmtg24d9o36kab5/wish/548471656 Veron's awesome CB Pt 3 veronchuangwl https://padlet.com/ramesh70govindasamy/ugmtg24d9o36kab5/wish/548498002 **If you have KINDLE or KINDLE APP, I can lend you my e-books! Feel free to drop me a text, I can share with you :) ** 

I have a  bad habit of buying alot of e-books on Kindle but not reading it at the end (current count - 40 books, 12 read, the rest still pending), so this CB I target to finish 3 books! So far I'm down with ONE (7 habits of highly effective people). 

2 more to go! :)

I am known by many to be a workaholic and have been reminded several times to take a break and enjoy life. 🤣 Last year after a trying time at home, my perspectives have definitely changed and I have learned the importance of loving yourself before you can love others and being able to just indulge in the little pleasures that life throws at you. Enclosed is a video link where u can learn more about me and the reflections that I have gained during the circuit breaker... enjoy 😊 and remember to #livelaughlove #eatplaylove

Exercising daily by downloading this fitness app call "Home Workout" to keep myself in shape (and not out of shape! HAHA). Perseverance is the key to results!

I also watched a some movies in netflix and one of my favorite was "Shooter", starring Ryan Phillippe - An ex marine being frame for murder and how he took revenge on every case he was involved.

Better to cook than buy from outside. Just made some curry puffs today. First time try. I'm looking for more recipe to try out on facebook also.

A lot happens in these few days after the birth of my child. I felt the physical and emotional changes.

Physically wise, my wound still have a little pain😫 . I feel so inconvenient because it hurts when even a little movement.
 
P.S: but I wouldn’t feel the pain when I hold my baby 👶🏻, so strange!😜 

Then recently  I start to understand my baby. My baby have 10 to 12 feeds every 24 hours and changing diapers so many times a day . But I’m happy cause it shows my baby is healthy. 

I push myself to learn how to feed my baby and how to change diapers for my baby . Originally I need to do it myself every time but I’m the lucky one cause my parent, my love one and my sisters are around to help. 

Mentally wise, I’m not sure all the mothers will feel the same but I have a little “baby blue”.  Sometimes , a scene or even a sentence made me feel tearful. But guys, I’m 👌. My husband is with me at Malaysia during this CB. 

I’m trying my best to adjusting myself to new parenthood now.  I had browse so many “ baby related” websites, read so many  “newborn care and basics” articles during this period .  And will still continue. 

I am not sure if I can be a good mother, but I promise I will work hard.  and so, When I try to be a novice mother, please stay at home and stay safe until we meet again ya.  💪💪

I’m interested to learn more about myself thats why i chose “The Science of Well-Being” under Coursera. 
After learning some also under Linked Learning to brighten up more of my people skills such as Critical Thinking, Creating customer service experience, creating customer value etc.

I also value more of the Social Connection at the moment. Video calls every now and then with the family and Zooming with the closest highschool friends catching up what we have been missing. Just making more of valued time and treasuring these moments forever. All of our life we all just been living and working. But in this circuit breaker has been really more than an ice breaker of the lifetime. Savoring it at the moment and just enjoy.

It was not for myself but for my family in the Philippines. Thanks to technology because I could just video call them any time and glad to know that they are well and safe. As much as I wanted to be productive and be busy but I was more on enjoying the time of just resting my mind and not to think about anything. I enjoyed the luxury of resting and sleeping more. It made me realize maybe this is a break for everyone to think more of what is really important and what do we really need to have to be happy. I wished that time for work will be lesser (generally) so we could do more things that make life less stressful, things we hope for aside from being at your best at the workplace ( our mind is constantly running when we are at the workplace because decisions have to be made from time to time even on menial things). To be able to spend more time with the people that we enjoy to be with “is life”. Ironically, having said these, I miss my colleagues and work. Hahaha!! It made me realize the wonderful people that make me smile and those people that make my job more fun, those that can find laughter amidst the busyness, those i can just warmly say hi and hello for a second, those I can genuinely talk to, those i can chuckle in small things, those that simply lightens the atmosphere.

On the other note, I also wished this quarantine would be over as not everyone has a home that they can call “Home” and not everyone feels more alive being isolated from their used to environment. We all cannot assume what everyone is going through this period, and it does not help to criticize people for not making the most out of their time because we don’t know how they are coping and feeling during this pandemic.

Lastly, some of the other things I do aside from the luxury of resting. :P I enjoy learning basic and not so basic recipes from online and from my mother so I can eat and save. I enjoy biking outside and somehow call the quietness a bliss. Watching Netflix dramas that make me laugh and cry (lots of drama actually). Reading devotionals to remind myself that Someone Up there is in control of everything and God just makes me sane. Watching inspirational videos on YouTube. Doing work out 3 times a week. 

Looking forward to see you all in June! Stay safe everyone. Take care!

Especially for self-employed workers such as my wife's nasi padang stall. So far ive been occupying my time providing full support to my wife's business by being the one and only admin ( wah stress! ) We learned an online platform for Delivery orders which require us to create links and codes to suit her expectations on the platform. Collaborating with delivery services and also be able to learn how create and edit your own advertising on certain paid apps. Through all these tough times to get things done definitely taught us hardworking always pays off. Being precision with our way of work and allowing ourselves to be open to absorbing useful methods and ideas so we could execute them. The desire to learn new sets of skills that on different platforms. Plot and plan and organize my own time as well. self management is key.  Last but not least, work out is also important. Cant live a day without because what i also do at home is eat eat eat that my wife always reward me from the stall haha!
