Don't want to be bald

After an absence of several years, I am back on Propecia again. Years back I stopped because I just became lazy of going back to the clinic to buy the medication. Whether it is related or not, I do feel that my hair is thinning too much and too fast for my liking and I hate it.

Another concern back then was the possible long term effect from it. Thankfully, surfing the net and speaking to the GP showed that there have been no significant medical data that shows that there are long-term impact to health and family planning. Regardless, I will definitely stop taking the medication for a few months when I plan to start a family so that I can purge the medication from my body first.

Hopefully, I will have a little more hair before my marriage. I really, really, really hate it if all people will focus on is the balding groom.....

Don't forget me....

My last post was reported to be from 5th April which is a long, long time ago by blogging standard, at least to me. Well, indeed a lot have happened since then.

Chronologically, the following are things/events that I think should be recorded as part of my uninteresting life.

Marriage preparation. By some cosmic good fortune, I have found myself a new wife and yes, I am planning to stop at two as far as marriages are concerned. After a courtship of close to two years, I would confidently say that we will be fine together as long as we continue to love each other and respect each other's differences. Nothing is perfect but this union is something I will not complain though I wish she can loosen up at times and not be so square over all things.

Found a new job. Yup, after 11 years at my current position, I have finally taken the plunge and tendered my resignation. The desire to learn new things and keep myself relevant in the job market is a key reason but the disappointment in the current management is of course a key reason too. I did not share this with my GM but he should know. Basically, I feel his style of management is detrimental to the long term culture and survivability of the company. I may be leaving but I still wish a good future for those who are still behind.

Bought a flat. I have always been a Easterner but briefly stayed in the West for 3 to 4 years during my 1st marriage. Due to budget constraint, I will be back in the West again and probably will not be able to move anywhere else ever. Disappointed? Honestly, yes but moving back to the West is a correct decision because we both agreed that we should never laden ourselves with a huge bank loan. I guess doing up the place well and putting in all my gadgets will remove any lingering reservations that I may have. A Lazy-Boy here and a 60" TV there should probably do the trick.

What is next? Praying hard that the marriage will be smooth and uneventful. Praying hard too that my new job will provide me new opportunities and advance my career even farther then ever.
