Bila usia lanjut ‘patpuluh

Makan minum harus bersuluh
Jangan sampai hanyut berahi
Kawal makan rajinkan senam
Sihat badan jiwa tenteram.
On Your One Mortal Life
When your body is battered, breaking down, You need to pause and listen to reflect, Perhaps your life, your craving for renown Must now make way for prayer and genuflect. Your duty now to yourself in this strife: Enact true justice to your mortal life.
On Being a Cheapskate and Not Wanting to Pay for a Gym Membership

The stairs; my Move loop ticks on
My phone - quantified!

- This is a good read on the growing phenomenon of “zoombombing”; clearly a sign of the times.
- Warren Buffett said it best: it’s when the tide goes out that you finally see who amongst us have been swimming naked. The buzz around “founders” and the deification of “entrepreneurs” has always been a pebble in the shoe for me; this Economist article exposes “fake tech” and other frothy detritus of our tech-crazed era.
- So it turns out that the man of the moment, Malaysia’s Director General of Health and the face of the Malaysian Government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, is a son of a single mother, and grew up in a public housing project. I like him even more now.
