Time to spill the tea.

We are 21 weeks pregnant! The 2nd and 3rd month felt like the longest period of my life because all I saw was the toilet bowl and the bed. Thank goodness the first trimester is done and dusted. I also got my first vaccine around 14 weeks and now I’m fully vaccinated. 🧡

Excited to share our happiness with you. I feel like I’ve kept this secret for way too long for some reason 😆.

Alhamdulillah baby is doing good and I can’t wait to see @fedrighifrancesco handle dirty diapers and milk spew in a few months. But for now, I’m gonna enjoy cooking this bun in the oven. And eat some too. I’ve slowed down on my usual workouts and resorting to long walks instead so if you’re not seeing some new workout videos from me, well now ya know! Much love from us.

Trump Trump投稿WSJ，解釋點解佢要挑戰一班創科鉅企，內文寫得真係好，忍唔住節錄部份比大家睇：

//Social media has become as central to free speech as town meeting halls, newspapers and television networks were in prior generations. The internet is the new public square. In recent years, however, Big Tech platforms have become increasingly brazen and shameless in censoring and discriminating against ideas, information and people on social media—banning users, deplatforming organizations, and aggressively blocking the free flow of information on which our democracy depends.//

//No longer are Big Tech giants simply removing specific threats of violence. They are manipulating and controlling the political debate itself. Consider content that was censored in the past year. Big Tech companies banned users from their platforms for publishing evidence that showed the coronavirus emerged from a Chinese lab, which even the corporate media now admits may be true. //

//Perhaps most egregious, in the weeks after the election, Big Tech blocked the social-media accounts of the sitting president. If they can do it to me, they can do it to you—and believe me, they are.//

//Meanwhile, Chinese propagandists and the Iranian dictator spew threats and hateful lies on these platforms with impunity.//

//Democrats in Congress are exploiting this leverage to coerce platforms into censoring their political opponents. In recent years, we have all watched Congress haul Big Tech CEOs before their committees and demand that they censor “false” stories and “disinformation”—labels determined by an army of partisan fact-checkers loyal to the Democrat Party. As the cases of fellow plaintiffs Ms. Horton, Dr. Victory and the Michael family demonstrate, in practice this amounts to suppression of speech that those in power do not like.//

// Big Tech and traditional media entities formed the Trusted News Initiative, which essentially takes instructions from the CDC about what information they need to “combat.” The tech companies are doing the government’s bidding, colluding to censor unapproved ideas.//

//Through these lawsuits, I intend to restore free speech for all Americans—Democrats, Republicans and independents. I will never stop fighting to defend the constitutional rights and sacred liberties of the American people.//

I'd been talking professionally since 1999 (21 years this year) to crowds ranging from less than 10, to more than 50, 000. This man has been talking for more than 40 (albeit more for leadership reasons) Same difference ;)
.
HOW TO GET BETTER at talking in front of a crowd according to a veteran - my DAD the Rotarian and 2 time President of Rotary Clubs in Sabah!
.
There's only ONE way you can get better - PRACTISE! You'd heard it many many times -"Practise makes Progress", never had it been more true than when it comes to public speaking, building confidence, and influencing people!
.
Our methods may differ, but the main theme remains - PRACTISE!
.
1. In front of the mirror
2. start with a smaller more familiar crowd

歌詞／LYRICS

When we began our love story
Well, it was obvious for me
As soon as it got good, it’d be a one-man show
Though we are always with each other
In the end, I’m nothing but a spectator

Your cold, indifferent “I’m sorry”
It’s always the same story
Now that I'm used to it, well, it ain’t so bad no more
But this romance with you has slowed, that’s the way it goes
I’ve realized it’s nearing the end now for sure

If only we could have chosen
To meet on a different road and
A different way to have known you
A different way our paths could cross
I wish that I could have found some new
Perspective to tell you I love you
Or a whole new personality, but I know
No matter how I wish, it’s no use, and so

Goodbye, though we tried,
There’s just not meant to be a you and I
It hurts, but it can’t be denied
But still it’s hard to set aside the past
Just touching your hair
I feel the pain so deep inside
But it feels right, but no, goodbye
What am I to you now, babe, and what are you to me?
The answer is a mystery
And I don’t even want to see the facts
If there’s just one thing
Yeah, just one simple thing that I know for sure
It’s that you are beautiful

Some people spew out such nonsense
Talking of love and its logic
But I can’t relate at all, it’s so unfamiliar
Like I’m on a plane and looking down on a darkened town
That I’ve never seen, much less been to ever before

If only we could have chosen
To meet on a different road and
A different way to have known you
A different way our paths could cross
I wish that my heart had been pure enough
To hold on tight when I was gifted love
I wish I could say “I love you” with no responsibility
But this wishing, what good does it do for me?

Goodbye, our endline
Is looming there beyond our hands entwined
And every time we draw it out
The more it hurts to think about a day
You’re not by my side
And that’s a truth that makes me cry
From all the misery inside

グッバイ 君の運命のヒトは僕じゃない
goodbye kimi no unmei no hito wa boku ja nai
辛いけど否めない でも離れ難いのさ
tsurai kedo inamenai demo hanare-gatai no sa
その髪に触れただけで　痛いや いやでも
sono kami ni fureta dake de itai ya iya demo
甘いな いやいや
amai na iya iya
グッバイ それじゃ僕にとって君は何?
goodbye sore ja boku ni totte kimi wa nani?
答えは分からない 分かりたくもないのさ
kotae wa wakaranai wakaritaku mo nai no sa
たったひとつ確かなことがあるとするのならば
tatta hitotsu tashika na koto ga aru to suru no naraba
「君は綺麗だ」
"kimi wa kirei da"

If all this, and all that
If you say it’s just the rules of romance
It’s really not so bad
There are no forevers, no promises
I just know you’re beautiful

Here is my year in Review with bloopers bc we should always remember to NEVER take ourselves too seriously. Thats it... that's my inspirational spew.
