Screwed

I was told i screwed up.

Day one - over. It wasnt good:-(

Day two - redemption??? Pray for me. Going to war a wounded soldier tomorrow.

More stories when its all over.

Comfort

A bowl of pasta, on a cold rainy day is like a nice big hug.

I was stuck in KL weekend traffic in the rain. Lapar. Sms-ed MissQQ for makan but she'd rather golek2 atas katil.

Earlier this morning, after a bowl of oats - i quickly got ready to meet Rozita. She agreed to tutor me on the subject i'll be training next week. A supposedly 1.5 hours session lasted almost 5 hours.

By the time i left, it was almost 5. Raining. Empty tummy.

Got home, boiled pasta. There was leftover canned tuna and Tesco's tomato n herbs pasta sauce. Perfect.

Excuse me. I need comforting.

Anne is Thankful

Alhamdullilah.
Ada good news hari ni. Out of nowhere, i got a training job next week.

Walaupun small, i am excited because this is my first public programme. (if you are not sure what that means, public programme ni opposite of in house programme. In house, satu group dari company yang sama akan attend tapi public-people from various companies sign up to attend). Hopefully this will lead to many more. Kenal ramai orang, good for networking - and may open more opportunities for my business.

The subject matter pon i tak pernah train before, but i am just gonna jump and swim. There is a first for everything kan. GAMBATE kata orang Jepun.

Unexpected - ingatkan dah dekat bulan puasa, since no bookings - takde training jobs la sampai lepas raya.

Its gonna be a working weekend again, a lot of studying to do. (i'm not complaining). :-)

ADD ONE MORE REASON TO BE THANKFUL. HARGA MINYAK TURUN. YAYYY!

Star

Pada suatu petang yang bosan, stress......

It made me almost happy again:-)

(tu kuah rojak, bukan chocolate fondue ye;-))

Kick off

This morning i kick-off my cholesterol busting breakfast regime.

Not a fan of oats.

It aint that bad tho.

Falling

Its feels like i'm in the middle of a freefall

and i cant decide which is worse

the idea of how much its gonna hurt when i land

or that there wont be anyone there to catch me

Sesuka Hati Dia

Dari Akhbar Kosmo, 19.8 2008

Usia Madonna 36 tahun

MADONNA mendakwa dirinya baru berusia 36 tahun, sedang realitinya umurnya sudah mencecah 50 tahun pada 16 Ogos lalu. Namun dia mendakwa telah diberitahu oleh paderi 'agama' yang dianutinya, Kabbalah bahawa dia sebenarnya 14 tahun lebih muda daripada usia kelahirannya.

Penyanyi ini dikatakan telah melarang barisan tetamu yang akan menghadiri majlis sambutan hari jadinya daripada menyatakan dirinya berusia 50 tahun. Menurut akhbar Daily Mirror, dia juga mengeluarkan arahan kepada tetamu supaya tidak membawa kad, kek atau sebarang hadiah yang menyatakan usia sebenarnya.

Awal minggu lalu, ada laporan yang menyatakan Madonna bercadang untuk menangguhkan majlis sambutan hari jadi yang dijadualkan di Wiltshire, England kerana pergelangan kakinya telah terseliuh.

"Madonna pastinya akan menyambut hari jadinya penuh stail. Namun, bukan semuanya berjalan dengan lancar kerana dia tercedera akibat latihan konsertnya. "Dia melihat kecederaan ini sebagai satu petanda untuk menangguhkan majlis hari jadinya itu." kata satu sumber.

A New Start

When we stop doing something, like a routine - its hard to start again and get back into it.

I quit gym months ago, and since then i never exercised. My daily routine are not physical either, at best doing some chores around the apartment...need i mention LITTLE apartment.

At the Avon walk, they had a health test booth. Despite my BMI Index being 'below normal', my cholesterol level hit 5.3, which is slightly above the normal reading of 5.17. Haiiishhhhh. NOT GOOD. (btw, this is the first time in my life i've had my cholesterol level tested hehe)

The medical officer said since this is an instant reading, it only reflects your diet for the past week at best. It so happened that whole week, i was on fast food, fried food, eggs and other junk pretty much everyday. I know, ME BAD!!!!

So, i'm trying hard to eat better. No deep fried food for me - which is really hard. I plan to get another test done maybe in a few months' time and i want a much better reading - perhaps a 4 flat.



This morning, i forced myself to start my walking routine. Just around the apartment compound. I did 3 laps, which took me more or less 20 minutes, then i did some strecthes by the pool. All in all a half an hour of exercise. Targeting this routine 3 times per week. Let's start small.

Ideally i should be putting on some weight, BUT avoiding fat. Hmmm....(kena angkat berat mcm ni;-O). Wish me luck.! I dont want to get any thinner than i am. I'm gonna look sick.

I welcome any tips to my reduce cholesterol level..please leave a comment.

Yayy for Chong Wei!!!!!!

Wohoooo! Malaysia is in the FINALS. Our best shot at a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. C'mon Chong Wei, go for GOLD (and the 1 million bucks that comes with it;-)).

Yang ditunggu-tunggu...

Business tengah takde projects/jobs sekarang.
My days are spent cuba cari project baru.
Yang ditunggu-tunggu hari tu, 1 dah memang OUT. 1 lagi tukar management la pulak - so tak tau dah apa jadi. Ada beberapa lagi yang still pending decision.
Harap2 ada la good news sebelum puasa sebab bila dah start puasa, the corporate world bukan saja tak makan minum, trainings memang tak jalan bulan puasa - even decision making pun tak berapa nak jalan - mesti nak tunggu lepas raya.

Avon's Charity Walk for Breast Cancer (Updated)

My Sunday Activity.

Sorry lama nak upload the pics. Bukan uploading problem, never got round to it. Ada kerje nak settle.

Lizzie, an Avon member, arranged for Jill, me and herself to register for the event. Siap sponsor lagi. Thanks Lizzie. The event started early Sunday morning at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. The walk is a relaxed 3km fun walk around the park. The turnout was awesome. All you can see is a sea of pink.
Avon provided a pink Reebok t-shirt, a pink ribbon bandana and a few other goodies. - including a lovely silver bracelet. I love 'em bracelet.

Enjoy the pics.

OOooh...he's super cute!!!:-D

I had a good time. But more importantly, its for a good cause. I pray that many breast cancer patients will benefit from this worldwide effort by Avon.

Today

08.08.08

Nice number.

Bestkan kalau ada significant occasion ke, milestone ke....but i have nothing important to remember today by. Tak tau la kalau later in the day duit sejuta jatuh dari langit ke, ada orang masuk meminang ke....hahahah. :-)

Otherwise, it's just another friday.

Berfikir....

Saya kurang aktif ber-blog dalam seminggu ni.

Saya lebih banyak berfikir. Fikir apa?

Tentang hidup. Tentang diri. Tentang Tuhan. Tentang kawan. Tentang masa lalu. Tentang masa depan.

Hanya diri sendiri yang tahu apa dalam fikiran saya, apa susah dan senang saya.

Saya pernah post di blog ini saya sedang melalui fasa yang paling sukar dan mencabar dalam hidup. Saya masih di situ.

Saya sedang pujuk diri saya untuk yakin pada cita-cita dan ketentuan. Ada hikmah di sebalik semua.

Saya sedang belajar erti susah, sabar, usaha dan tawakkal.

Orang selalu kata, bila kita susah, kawan lari. Bila senang kawan ramai. Klise kan. Ada separuh kebenarannya. Separuh lagi persepsi diri.

Saya tahu apa yang saya mahu, dan apa yang saya mahu tak semestinya apa yang orang lain mahu. 'Passion' saya - sesuatu yang tak boleh dipaksa ke atas orang lain.

Saya banyak kelemahan, tapi saya sedang cuba jadi kuat.

Saya cari inspirasi dan semangat dari cerita jatuh, bangun orang lain. Satu hari nanti mungkin ini akan jadi cerita saya.

Tuhan kan ada. Saya tak perlu takut.
