Do not take your health for granted

I have recently been close to two incidents of cancer and have heard many news about colleagues or friends who go through some medical difficulties. A few examples were:1) A colleague feeling dizzy after clubbing and blacked out, falling flat on his face... breaking his jaw, losing a lot of teeth and therefore unable to talk and was on liquid diet for at least 2 months. last I heard he still has

Patience to allow my knee to heal (thank goodness it is almost back to normal), patience in my promotion, patience in getting the design from the tattoo artist, patience for my project to progress properly, patience in getting news from interviews...If you asked me, I felt that I

Well, decided to write in some thoughts and updates here today.The KneeIt is still going on funky~ I am very careful in stretching for splits now and I am reminded that there is no such thing as a quick way to getting down on splits. There are some who have gone on the regime for 6 months and still several inches off the ground. So I am taking it slow and allowing my body to surprise me :)It was

In my enthusiasm to see results, I went overboard and pushed myself too hard! Today I'm with a weird knee. So now I need to rest my most probably hurt muscles and start over again...Yesterday mom brought me to an acupuncture doctor.

I find it difficult to measure using a ruler in a stretched condition so I just plonked my beary coin bank as an indicator (also found out my cupboard door pattern can similarly function as a ruler). Plus look at my hands!! At first they can barely support me and now the whole palm is touching the floor flat! yay~Several improvements I feel I need to make is to stop from bending forward but to

Currently I'm at least 6 inches away from the ground with my front splits and wayyy more than that with my side splits!Er nope, I won't be trying to get to this!Also, I have been keeping a secret!

So after deciding upon the unit, gingerly signing on the dotted line and swiping my credit card for the downpayment (ouch!). The developer here is giving me a 8% discount from the property value but there was no exchange of documents pertaining to this (quite scary). But the SPA would mention that by my signing it, it would mean that I have already paid for the 10% downpayment 10%. So that SPA

Of course I will never forget about the job satisfaction, self fulfillment and sense of achievements e.g. being part the team that brought iPhone to Malaysia. Those are what

We had one and a half days to burn after Greece for our flight from Rome to KL. Intentionally created so we could see a bit of Rome as well.We immediately headed for the Roman Colosseum on our first nightNext morning we had to queue to enter the Vatican City Museum. Luckily we made a move early from what I've read from the tour guides so we only had to wait quarter-way around the piazza circular

This was were the James Bond movie was shot.

Next on the agenda is Delphi; supposedly the navel of the world as the myth goes... The lady who narrated to us about this place was very good. She told us that this was where the Greeks and even other nations came to have their prophecies told. It was also a place where different regions had this comparison thing going on so the treasury here is very rich with at least 3000 bronze silver and

The Olympic Games is what drives people to the town of Olympia. With the first games taking place in 776BC to honor Zeus. So we went to the museum, ruins and got a chance to run around at the stadium.The ancient Olympic stadium!! Everyone started racing each otherThe main entrance where all the great athletes came throughThe drive is along the coastal lines so we get to stop at 2 small towns.

Belated Greece Travelogue: Day 4

Last night I worried so much about the camera disk space because I was having such a good time snapping all the photos that the camera was running out of memory space. But managed to buy a new memory card for €18. Not too bad price lar..It was a day spent mostly in the bus: first stop was at a the little seaside town of Naufplia where we walked along the waterfront and ate our lunch.

Belated Greece Travelogue: Day 3

2010-08-20T15:34:00.011+08:00

Agenda of the day is off to Corinth and Mycenae.. More ruins and broken statues (don't get me wrong, they're nice!). Note that our tour was organised in such a way, it is chronologically ordered (from earlier centuries to later). Passing by Corinth, we stopped by at the really windy Corinth Canal.Corinth Canal: Man is powerful, he can split land apart (Which is what happened in this case) 6343m

The cheese pie sort of reminded me about the time I was in Milan; eating panzerotti.. only the Greek version is much saltier!Feeding pigeons cheese pie crumbs while eating at the squareThese are the columns that are left

Twittering vs. Blogging

2010-03-16T14:58:00.006+08:00

I think how twitter has become such a success would most likely be due to the fact that if I do not have much to say about the specific topic that interests me at a point in time, I do not have to elaborate on them, and I still have 'readers' and it does not appear silly or random.There are still times where you feel the need to write more than 20 words though :)

YayyyyyYYyyyyyyyyYyYy~~The final round of the interview was quite interesting and challenging at the same time which left me feeling uncertain if I bagged it or not. But I did it! *jiggy dance* Hoping for the best since I have already given it another round of deep thought and decided to commit for a longer time that I did previously come good or bad...And I officially graduated yesterday!!!

Probably the last thing one would do when you don't know what else to do on a free day of sorts... Just decided to post a pictorial of what me, Chew, Yang and Daniel did on the 1st of June 2008. First of all, a congratulatory greeting that we made it thus far ;) whoopeedoo! It was a weekend so nothing deterred us from our expedition! A lot of the stuff appear to be the exactly same, with many of

Alright, so there... after weighing the pros and cons and not exactly going anywhere, (spoken like a true Libran in my indecisiveness) I handed in my resignation last Friday. Never thought making a decision like this could be so hard. However, I DO want to write more about this experience that is about to end soon.Will write more but will save it for another night.Last day is on Friday the 13th..

When I am alone...

2008-05-19T00:54:00.006+08:00

Maybe this is why I dislike being alone. Cos when I'm alone, I become left with my own thoughts. I've just been thinking about my job, my relationship with Chew, relationship with my parents and family, friends... and I feel like I really should not be so negative about things... and my StrengthsFinder just told me I'm positive. Hmm...let's seeRecently, a close friend came around and confided

OKay, so my sis bought me a book. Felt that it would be really helpful in discovering myself more and how to go about it. Geez, my results are here. Some I don't really agree (tell me if you do!) and then I'm gonna continue reading the book sumore (told me to stop at Chapter 3 to do this online test) and tell you all more about my 'discovery'!InputYou are inquisitive.

At this moment, I struggle with the responsibilities given to me at work. The indications if I screw up feels too big a burden for me at times; especially when they slap you with quotes of millions of ringgits down the drain if you screw up kinda thing at your face. Everyday is a new DEADline.Also, I'm at an inner conflict of separating work from personal attitudes. The tendency to get personally

When my colleague leaves in the end of this month, it will be even worse, woohoo [dry tone].Few days ago, I realise the importance of forgiving AND forgetting. Emphasis on the forgetting part. What I mean is that you don't really need to wipe it out from your

I sit here in a contemplative mood. I read the pain and sorrow of another soul; who had found love, joy, but gambled it away in a decision. A decision so regrettable. A decision so common. A decision ruled only by emotions and so human. Many have been forewarned, many know the consequences, few has escaped clean from it and yet, the same mistake will happen once again.For now, I am conscious of

I was part of history

This year's elections was conducted with such pomp that I am so glad that I did not miss out on it. I am proud, that I placed my vote and made a difference, no matter how small. Along with the rest of my family, we exchanged notes, my dad went to ceramahs and I was disturbed by my parents at 6am the morning after voting day, but later also joined in the hype and excitement, to update ourselves

Companionship

2008-03-06T23:39:00.003+08:00

The people you surround yourself with are entirely of your choice. It is as simple as a snap of your fingers to disconnect yourself from everyone else, or maybe weed out a few. And if both parties are with similar mindset, just as easy to connect too. If one feels in any way that these people are unsuitable, it is just a matter of finding another clique. Would you agree with me on that? How often

To me, life would not be complete without uncertainties. Throughout the past 2 weeks, I have come to realize that through the job I am in, I have just created a myriad of windows and doors for me to explore and open. I will remain optimistic and confident of my career and my life.We have found something that interests the two of us though I wouldn't say that it is something we stumbled upon. We

There are times when you feel torn between what you want to do and what you should do. Leaving the feeling alone does not make it go away neither does expressing it in small ways. And yet, there is only so much you can do and say.

Yeaps! I got through the interviews and is offered a job for a branding company. Just need to think over the weekend if I really really want it then give my answer on Monday. Most probably a yes but I just don't like giving confirmed commitments immediately, almost the same with my attitude towards buying something.I wonder if I have already rested enough. But I am also getting very lazy and too

[written many days ago]Today has been an overall slow day for me but stimulating nonetheless. Feeling quite pleased with myself and rejected a job offer. I purposely put that in the same sentence. I know that sounds quite sadistic. Believe me, its not. But I have considerably high confidence of my own capabilities :D I will give more careful thought before I apply for another job; so I don't

If I was gonna keep count, I'd say I have had at least 16 people asking me that question. Strangely it was not from my elders but from my close friends. Interesting. Beforehand, even when the semester was about to end; marking the end (most probably) of my life as a student, I have already come up with a personally designed script that would satisfy everyone while not giving the impression that I
