TL DW:

1. Have 6 months emergency fund
2. Save 15% of income into retirement fund (EPF)
3. Save towards child's education
4. Anything extra should go towards paying off housing loan

Based on studies into millionaire habits.. most of them have zero house debt

Why?

1. Low interest rates will not last forever, pay them off early
2. Psychological benefit; when you have zero house debt you can take more risks; like leaving current job for another potential better one, or going into business
3. When your cash flow improves you can use money you normally use to pay your loan to invest.. and take more calculated risks

TL: DW:

1. Muscle is the organ of longevity
2. Sarcopenia (muscle loss) happens after 40, need to maintain muscle as long as possible
3. Resistance training is non negotiable
4. Dietary protein is essential; 90g protein minimum daily or more (1.8 to 2.2g protein per ideal weight) if you wanna build muscle

This one quote hits hard..

"A person will only be as healthy as they feel worthy of. When one does not feel worthy of being healthy, they will sabotage themselves over and over again" (or sabotage/put down others). I.e. always give excuses

and

"Exercise is not selfishness"

That's why ppl will get jealous n critic when suddenly their friends/family start getting in shape

Feels good to hit PR

Bought some used bells; a 12kg and 16kg. Had planned to start next year but since I'm down with Covid might as well start now. (The white stuff on the handle is chalk for grip and to prevent rust)
Anybody into kettlebells?

Just plan to alternate between these 2 workouts daily:

Workout A: Double Clean & Press and Double Front Squat
Workout B: Swings

RADWIMPS live in KL 25 Jul 2023

watzisname — Wed, 12 Apr 2023 09:36:11 +0800

RADWIMPS, the acclaimed Japanese rock band, is excited to announce their first concert in Kuala Lumpur as part of RADWIMPS Asian Tour 2023.
Promoted by InTour Live and SOZO, RADWIMPS will perform on Tuesday, July 25th 2023 at Zepp Kuala Lumpur.

Formed in 2001 with a major label debut in 2005, RADWIMPS has garnered a broad fan base with the younger generation at the core. Their worldwide following has grown substantially due to the success of their popular tracks like “Zenzenzense,” “Dream Lantern,” and “Sparkle.” RADWIMPS’ musical endeavours span beyond Japan, as they have toured extensively worldwide.

RADWIMPS’ lead vocalist, Yojiro Noda said, “I don’t even know how to express my excitement. It’s been three years and we’re all three years older. But our music has matured too. I will come to see you as if you’re a lover I was longing to reunite with, so be ready! Can’t wait to see you all in person.”

Following their work on the soundtracks for “Your Name” in 2016 and “Weathering With You” in 2019, RADWIMPS collaborated with filmmaker Makoto Shinkai to create songs for the movie “Suzume”, where the film score has won the 46th Japan Academy Film Prize 2023 for Best Music. “Suzume opened in Japan on November 11th 2022. It was #1 for 3 consecutive weeks with a gross of over 14.22 billion Yen at the box office to date.
