• Bumped into half a schoolmate literally

Recently, I bumped into a friend of mine while having dinner at a restaurant. We were schoolmates and it has been more than 10 years since we’ve met. I wouldn’t have recognised him at all if he didn’t call out to me. Why? He weighted more than 80kg in secondary school and these days he has slimmed down a lot. So much so that he is barely recognisable.

According to him, he started to rigorously slim down after taking the initiative to go on a strict diet and exercising regimen. The reason? Vanity but hey it worked for him. Whereas for me, it’s health concerns. Initially, weight loss pills helped but advised me to take caution using them when I told him I wanted to go on a diet myself.
