my life now

it's been a rough three months since I wrote anything here!

and i've become so different! all over again!

it amazes me how i'm constantly changing, my feelings, my tastes, my opinions...

i really am unsure it that's good or bad!

well right now,

i like the fact that work is getting very interesting and fulfilling! so i'm happy there, tho i strongly feel that there is no gender equality, so that bothers me...

in addition, i've been taken on full board to join MNO Solutions I am actually the managing director, and life has not been easy !

I cannot believe i almost cried when i found out that we were losing 3 students!

But then from that experience i learnt that, you've gotta accept it, move on and look for new grass.

Working on that now, and feel a lot better too!

Also,
i've started hanging out by myself a lot more now, and it's not as daunting as it seems! I'm actually liking it! just that sometimes i have nothing to talk to my self about! hahahJust kidding!

But yeahhh it's fun, i've met a lot of people! it's been great! not easy, but great!

the best part is, you can do whatever you want whenever!

so i really like that...
also,

i think i've become more fit! i can do yoga, well atleast bend backward!

and it really is a great achievement for me, and it makes me supremely happy!

and i've come to terms that right now, i can't afford a holiday or any form of travel (time & money) but it really is fine,

i'm giving my self time till my sister comes back from UK, then i'm totally packing my bags and running away! can't wait...

oh,
and i love all the people i'm surrounded by,

my friends, they're just awesome, i am truly blessed ot have such friends
and family too! ever since my bro n sis have left the house, i've become closer with mum n dad,

i like that too...

only thing i need ot work on right now is my sense of tactfulness... if that's even a word!

i have to learn to say no in a way that people don't even know they're being said no to!
muahahahahha

kay byeeee

Running Away

Today morning, oh wait, afternoon, after I woke up, I went downstairs to read the news paper.

Boy was that the biggest mistake for the day!

I read news about a lot of despair, corruption, disasters, religious extremists, Malaysia's stupid political parties etc.

The only good thing that brought a smile to my face was a recap on Julia Gillard's journey to becoming Prime MInister and the match of the day! England Vs. Germany!

So whilst I was reading all that ngativity, I was already in my head thinking of a backup plan. Thinking of which other coutry could I buy property and perhaps settle there.

But then, isn't that just being cowardice and running away?

So now I have to do something, something to fix our corrupted country.

Just need to start working on a strategy.

Your Life story

This one, I would like to dedicate for a very special friend of mine. I actually got it from Robin Sharma's book "Who Will Cry When You Die".

My Friend;
Well, I've aways had a soft spot for her, right from the first day I met her.

So here's to you my Dear dear Friend.

One of the most wonderful things about time is the fact that you cannot waste it in advance. No matter how much time you have squandered in the past, the next hour that comes your way will be perfect, unspoiled and ready for YOU to make the very best of it. No Matter what has happened to you in the past, your future is spotless. Realise that every dawn brings with it the corresponding opportunity to begin a completely new life. If you so chose, tomorrow can be the day that you start getting up earlier, reading more, exercising, eating well and worrying less and even being happier (this I have added on my own). As author Ashleigh Brilliant has observed, "at any moment I could start being more of the person I dream to be- but which moment should I chose?"

No one is stopping you from opening your journal and on a blank page, rewriting the story of your life. This very minute, you can decide the way you would like to unfold, change the central characters and create a new ending. The only question is will YOU chose to do so?

Remember, it is never too late to become the person you have always wanted to be.

I hope this helps you, in wanting to start over. What ever you want to be, I'm right here.

Good Luck to you!
Pinkdot!

What person in the right mind can accept suck a gift, knowing that there are people in their country not getting the best out of life.

Not getting the proper education.

Elderly being abandoned with no where to go but the streets, begging for a living.

Communities being left out while th rest of the country develops.

Infrastructure that does not lead to enough growth of the economy.

Public transport that can be made better.

To me,
anybody who accepts such an expensive gift (while knowing the above) is just selfish.

And i'm sure he can't not know the above considering that he is the king!

I'm just so disgusted.

Not to mention that it's all taxpayers money.

Sigh.

And now, reading this makes me more sick.

What a way to start the morning.

I just need to do something. I feel stupid for not being able to stop the ridiculousness.

So if ure reading this and feel the same way to, please contact me, and I'll be more than willing to contribute my help.

Time

Time,
Don't we waste it?

Time is so precious, once it's gone, you definetly can't get it back.
Today, I wasted it, when I got stuck in the rain, after lunching with the Hoe. I was stuck at the LRT. It was pouring heavily, so I couldn't walk to my office. The moment I knew it, I thought, why not I take the LRT go to KLCC, post my letters and come back (cos I wouldn't get wet there and back)
But of course, being cautious, I thought, what if the rain suddenly stopped while I was on the way to KLCC, (the Hoe suggested suddenly taking the train back to my office =.=).

Hence I decided against going there and stood at the Dang Wangi LRT foyer, giving directions to lost tourists :D

By the time the rain stopped, I knew, that I could have just taken the train to KLCC and back. If only I didn't doubt my thought.

I have realised, that when a thought occurs to you, you should just do it. Cos when you stop to think about it, you're just wasting time.
I didn't waste all the time there in the LRT, I gotta to smell the rain, see the rain fall and of course; help tourists!

So I guess it wasn't so bad. But still I could have made better use of it. Oh well, it's gone, there's no point dwelling in the past.

Cheers,
Pinkdot

Ps: I'd like to dedicate this to my fliend Padmini, a person I can talk just about anything and get an honest feed back. you have definitely been a great fliend minii!
Heart you!
Why I'm being nice to her you ask?
Hehe, she made me this beautiful piece of art, and it was very thoughtful of her (although I think she had too much time =D)

Pps: Leaving to Beijing on Monday night!

Expectations

So I have been thinking about this for the past couple of days, and I just couldn't wait for a better key board to type this, I have to do this now!
I just got of a "scooty ride" with my much little-er cousin and rushed here!
Being on holiday gives me time to read, think and reflect. And I've done a lot of that lately. Enjoying it in fact!

We all have exectations of other people. i don't know bout You, but I sure do, a lot.
And I realised, that this is not right. Cos when I do, I just end up getting dissapointed.
But I'm confused, if you have expectations of somebody, does it not mean that you know that person well enough to know what to expect of them?
If so, when they don't meet your expectations, is it that you don't know them well enough or you're expecting too much?

Anyhow, from today, I've decided that I shan't expect anything anymore. I'm pretty sure it would hurt a lot less.
I reckon it's the same concept as giving without expecting anything in return.
Maan, life's complicated and kinda unfair!

Anyways, the last few days here of doing nothing and reading has been awesome! Can't wait to go back tomorrow to the hectic world again!
Will post pictures soon!
Ps: I tried riding that scooty a.k.a Motorbike, and I crashed a gate. Oopsie! Anyways, bestie calling! gotta go!

23 Yrs Old

Ergh

I'm THAT old.

I'm in India now, and it's such a bizarre experience. I still can't believe that I put up with this country only 4 years ago for 2 years when I was studying here.

India is still a long waaaay from reaching it's full potential.
Yes, I don't deny that it is rich in culture, but, somethings really have to change and one can't keep falling back on culture as an excuse to avoid change.

Once I get a better keyboard, I would like to discuss on the following:

1. People
2. Women
3. Men
4. The government
5. The transport system


Will be updating this list when the topics come to mind...

Anyways,

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm still olddddd
:S

bad dayyyy

Today, My PMS reached it's peak in all history (yes, I keep a record)

I woke up, the first thing I uttered was *uck, slammed doors while looking for something. It was so ugly.

I don't know what's worse, being angry or knowing that you were behaving in such an ugly fashion and still continue with it.

At work, I knew I couldn't behave the same way, but I did avoid speaking to my colleagues. In fact one even knew I was in a bad bad mood.

Even when I was called upon by my boss, I acted all normal (but in my head, omg, it was w.a.r)

What fascinates/dissapoints me, is that, if the same thing were to happen at home, if my mom/dad or sis were to call me, I would have snapped.


Without stopping for a second to think, I would have definitely snapped.

Why is it that with people who care and love you, you treat like rubbish, but people who don't matter that much, you treat like there's no tmw.

Ok, not people you don't care about, but friends.

I don't think I would snap at my friends. If I were angry, I'd probably just avoid the call and communicate again once i'm feeling up.

I snapped at my sister today, ( she texted/emailed/and even called!) and finally I snapped.

Don't worry, I apologised. Sorry really makes the world a better place (but do mean it yo! don't just say it)

It's really mind boggling that as we get closer to a person, you feel you have every right to treat them like rubbish.

That is very wrong, and I will take the conscious effort to make that change.
Everybody deserves to be treated with respect, think for a second how you'd like to be treated and treat them like wise.
I hope I can, and I hope you will too (if you behave like me that is...)

Good Night!
Pinkdot

PS: Try waking up with a smile, it really does make a difference!

PPS: My sis is sleeping next to me and kicking me in her sleep, HOW TO NOT GET ANGRY!

Farewell? Oh wait, the clouds aren't cleared yet

My Sister was recently awarded a scholarship to do her pHd inUK.
She currently owns a learning centre, and teaches and guides students from Internal schools for their O levels and also A'Levels.

I go there some times to help her manage the place for her. The nice sister that I am. (where can we get more of these?!?!)

Last Sunday, the children at the centre wanted to plan a surprise
farewell for my sister, and I helped them, of course.

I did more than just eat ok!

By the time I got there, the kids had already come and were blowing balloons and putting them all over.I blew some balloons too! and omg it kept reminding me how unfit i was, struggling to blow a balloon :S
I think I blew half a dozen and gave up! I proceeded to prioritize!


We arranged all the food on the table, oh there was a cake too!


We found out she was coming, and dashed to the door, in the dark, we told our friend to bring her in. So we waited on the other side of the door, with a lit candle on the cake.

waited...


waited...


Candle melting!


We had no idea wheneither of them were coming too! Such a joke it was!And finally! after re-lighting the candle 3 times ;


Yay! Mission accomplished! She got surprised!

After a 'short' photo session with all her beloved children, we attacked the food.


Since most of the kids who had come were koreans, there were some korean dishes! Slurrppppp

Kimbap (seaweed rolls), kimchi pancakes and some rice cakes.



Everybody had fun, this is a pic with my very dear sister (us, being cute) and the mastermind behind the whole surprise. ( I really did try to help)

Another thing, my sisterl has been invited by all our family members and friends, dinner after dinner, to bid their goodbyes...

She still hasn't left.

I really am skeptical now....

Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy the food.

PS: There's another on this Thursday! Muahahahh

off to bed now!

DiGi

Recently My friend started working at DiGi, and hearing her stories made me wish I was in such an environment as well!

People are relaxed in their dressing and mannerism. Everybody's close knit.

Best part is!!!! THEY'RE A PAPERLESS OFFICE!!!!

How cool is that?!?!?
So now,
DiGi has come up with a new promotion! DiGi , the Next Level
It's for those people who inspire to start up their own business!
Aaaaand it's a reality show concept!! Oh the drama!!! Muahahahahhaha

Winner gets 50,000 ringgit in cash, and it's not the money that's enticing me, but it's the fact that they will give one year of business support!!!

I think that is as important as cash!

So if you have an idea which you think will blow them away! the share your ideas! you can get more information from here.

Okay, I better go now! Need to get my creative juices flowing! I'm so gonna win this !!
Muahahahhahahaha

And to those who might be interested! See ya at the show!

KL!

Kuala Lumpur is an awesome city! you've got everything in it! New, old, rich, poor. Not to forget alll the eateries tooo!

Today, during our lunch break, my colleague asked me to accompany her to buy material for a baju kurung. We headed to the 'old' KL city. what used to be the heart of the city in the 1960's probably.

That's both my colleagues figuring out which shop to go to. We were spoilt for choices I tell you!

It was near Petaling Street. I am yet to go in, but hey, I was out side! The place we went to, well I'm sure you know by now, I am yet to answer that question! hahaha it was near Jalan Tun H.S. Lee.

That's where Reggae bar is too!

It's also near the Pudu Raya station that's currently under going renovation.

We finally settled for

The shop was neat, not cluttred. It had been established in the 1950's and the sales men there, gosh! They definitely know how to sell! My colleague came out with 2 very expensive materials! Rather than the ONE piece of cloth she needed!

Even she was going crazy deciding what to chose!

But some how, she managed to chose one type, but of course she got distracted by the other materials and bought a second piece! for the 'rainy day'. Women I tell you. So easily distracted by clothes and what not...

I loved this material the most! at first glance it looks like trees, but it's actually BIRDS! and leaves!

Now how cool is that?!?!

This was definitely a fun city experience!

Oh on the way back to work, we stopped to eat.

And whoa!

We found this narrrow lane and look at how every body's eating! Like in a canteen! and the Lady used her b.a.r.e hands to serve the chicken :S

But then again, I heard the food was yummeh... oh well.

PS: the place is never empty! (day times at least...)

Food-me-not

Long time ago, I came across my friends blog where he referred to his body as a temple!

And it made me realise how little I care for my body, and how wrong that is!

At the start of this week, I told my self, for this week, I'll experiment on a my body's a temple lifestyle.

I stayed away from shisha-ing, I wasn't eating oily food, fresh things basically, until....

Last night, my friend was craving waffles, and I picked her up to get some, during which, i ended up having waffles my self!

Peanut Butter and Chocolate! Slurp!

Grrr! Luckily I had run 3km before that! (so that's kinda okay kan?)

A couple of hours ago, I was walking around with my colleague during lunch, playing with my neck thingy that holds my access cards, I found out I had lost my precious key chain!

And it's not like I'd be able to find it, cos I walk around a LOT of places, and it could be anywhere from my house, 3 LRT stations, My sister's office, my gym, my work place, the list is endless!! Gahhhhh

Not to mention I had so many e-mails that needed my respnse! @!#$%

So, how did I deal with this stress??

Just like how any other rational person would,

Oops! I couldn't wait! I made Milo Paste, and ate biscuits with them.

Slurp! I love Milo!

It's delish!

But after finishing it, I felt so happy again, and that's when the guilt hit me! grr

Why do we have to have a conscience!

So I guess I'll have to head to the gym extra long tonight and get rid of that Milo. Bad Bad bad.

More than 50% of Malaysians are obese, and this certainly isn't a number we should be proud of.

Fun Fact: 'happy hormones' called Endorphins are released during exercise, the same ones released when you have sex ;)

So,

I must admit, I feel verry happy after exercise! and I enjoy it! I hope you too, will get of ur butt and exercise!

Be fit! your body is more important than anything else! If you don't have your body, you can't do so many things in life.

And you wouldn't wanna be left out now would ya!

I think I'm gonna hit some golf balls after gym!

and live in they gym this weekend :S since I got no where else to be/go :(

S.t.u.d.y!

This post is meant especially for Nabil Fiqry. (Ladies, he's a handsommme young fella, contact me if you're interested)

So, it's that time of the year, where most of my close friends are cramming for their exams!

Having spoken to one friend in the afternoon, she told me she was busy studying and refused to video call with me. Hmph!But I understand, she had to study and that was definitely more important that my ulterior motive of calling her ;)

So this is especially for my friends,

When studying,Stay away from the internet. your research on a particular topic, may end up here.

When I was in university, that always happened to me!

So I would go to a corner where I knew there would be no WIFI.

As for journals, well as much as I'd like to save paper, I would like to get better grades as well. So print out your journals, and read em.And if you're all out for saving the environment, print 2 pages on each side in a double sided printing preference.

Be sure to not
This usually happens when I'm wondering what I'm gonna have for dinner, or what are my friends up to, basically mundane unimportant things.

For this short period, (study period) ignore everything for that short time you set aside to study and focus on one thing, i.e. the journal!

Also, if the topic you're studying involves reading, reading in a group may help, especially when the journals are all words and no pictures! Reading in a group may or may not useful. Useful in the way that if you are unable to grasp a point, you can seek explanation from your study mates.
Not useful in a way that instead of explaining the notes, you may end up

Gossiping! the worst of em all! However with the right mind and positive attitude, this can be avoided!
Yay!

When I was in Uni, I found studying in groups very effective. However we did it in sessions. First, we'd decide on which journals to read, and we'd read them in our own comfort zone separately.

After, we'd get together and discuss the points we had read. This helped us remember our arguments better!

Also, the most important thing when studying is knowing what to study!

Instead of studying all the topics, chose topics that have been frequently asked in the past years, topics that were stressed in class.

This may not be the best way of studying, cos when you leave uni, you're supposed to know everything,

but for some of us who like procrastinating *ahem* make sure you study important topics first!

I have to go now, hope my two cents worth of advice is helpful!

And to all my friends, Good luck! Promise not to disturb y'all!

<3

and to those who might be sick!

Get well soon!

PS: If this is your final exam, enjoy the time spent studying to the max! Working life is a LOT more taxing!

Moms, don't we take them for granted?

Okay,
so last night, i was hanging out with my friends at Bangsar, I had dropped my mom at a party, and was waiting at bangsar to pick her up after.

She was done at eleven, and I went to pick her up.

Anyways, I picked her up, and both my sis and dad had called and both hadn't had dinner and were depending on my mom for food.

At that moment, I realised how inconsiderate of them!

Both knew that my mom was going out (which is very rare) and yet both were depending on food for her when they were both out!

There are many sides to this.

One hand hand, children and husbands are generally dependent on moms/wife cos it's 'normal'

but i think it's not fair.

but to a mom, it makes her feel wanted/needed

and sometimes i think mom's don't mind doing it. cos they love their children/husband. so they do it out of love, thus, it's not a chore.

but we as children/husband shouldn't also be overly dependent on them and take advantage of them.

So i think, mom's should go about doing their mommy stuff... but once in a while, put a firm foot on the floor and tell the children/husbands to go get whatever they want themselves.

force them to be independent now and then.

Dinner Last night was thanks to Sarvanna bhavan.... pheww

Trolak!

Last weekend was a team building event at the office, it was a pretty interesting experience. It gave me a chance to observe my colleagues and how they are outside the workplace.

According to the itenary, we were expected to be at the office lobby between 7.30 and 7.55 am. Yes, on a Saturday morning, sigh. But nonetheless I along with the rest of my colleagues made it to the pickup point by 7.55 am.

Unfortunately, due to the god damn Malaysian timing bull shit, the bus driver only came at 9 am!

Of course it pissed me off, cos I could have been sleeping given the late night I had ;)

Staff were against the event considering that the weekend was the only time they could recuperate, also majority were married, hence they had to factor in the welfare of their children and spouses.

Anyways, considering that this event was a chore to many as it was taking up their weekend, the delayed bus was added annoyance!

It fueled more side remarks from a number of staff. And it was sad that most of the comments led to the organizer of the event, when in actual fact it was due to the incompetence and irresponsibility of the bus driver.

Initially, when we were gathering at the office lobby, it was strange to notice that the staff had segregated themselves into two groups, separated based on one criterion, sex. This is one factor I don’t understand in my office. Perhaps it might be due to the fact that we’re in Islamic banking.

Nevertheless, me being a non-muslim female, I could have mingled with the men, but somehow I felt I would be out of place. Another problem I have with my workplace is language. Informal talk is done in Malay, and I just can’t bring my self to converse in Malay. Just not used to it! so I guess that would have added to the awkwardness had I gone to mingle with men. But some men did come and hang out with the women, so that wasn’t so bad.

During the wait for the bus, many groups had already been formed. Those from within the department had already grouped together and were gossiping amongst themselves, however there were one or two who took the initiative to welcome those from external departments, and that basically is the purpose of team building, to get to know your supporting departments!

By the time people were boarding the bus, groups had been formed, and people found their bus partners.

I went and sat by myself, and let who ever who wished to sit next to me.

Oh, another thing that irked me was that room partners were determined based on Race. Malays were put together, the two Indian women and 2 chinese women were put in room together. This I felt was unnecessary cos aren’t we supposed to be in the spirit of 1 Malaysia?

In the bus, everybody prepared themselves to sleep the 2 hour journey, but instead, we were interrupted for a treasure hunt at the Rawang rest stop. After the stop, we made another stop at a hot spring!

The hot spring was fun! We had to fight hot waters, trying to put our feet in, and attempting to relax at the same time. I somehow didn’t see the benefit of hot springs considering the fact that putting your feet into the water was terribly stressful! The water was hot for heavens sake!

People were even cooking eggs in them! And the whole time you’re sweating by the way! See what I mean by not relaxing!

When I got back into the bus, my colleagues thought I had showered! And even though I didn’t I told them I did, at least that way I’m not some kinda sweaty freak!

We finally reached our destination (Trolak) at about 1.30 pm, and by this time it was waaay past lunch time for most, and everybody got of the bus to have lunch first.

And of course, being the rare vegetarian, I tend to get forgotten. Lucky for me, one of the senior managers was also vegetarian for the month, so I knew vege food would be taken care of.

But due to the natural incompetence’s of some people, it didn’t occur to the resort to prepare our food in advance, instead, they waited for us to come, and make a request. Sigh…

After eating, we got our luggage, and prepared ourselves for the next item on the itenary.

Even when going to the rooms, there was whining along the way, about how there was no lift, and how come the organizer of the event got a room all by herself.

Malaysians just don’t stop complaining innit? Rather than coming up with a solution instead.

Lesson learnt from this: I am going to try very hard to not complain! Even if it’s about the weather. You might as well spend that time coming with a solution instead!

Next on the itenary was walking on a suspended rope. Suspended 20 feet high. And ure being supported by a belayer. Who weighs lighter than you do.

s.c.a.r.y

so walking across the first rope was fine for me, but the second one, you had to balance on suspended ropes, that were miles apart, this was farking hard okay!

And to make matters worse, we had to jump halfway through the rope, and trust the skinny belayer. It took me a good ten minutes just walking about 50 metres, and another ten minutes to jump!

Not easy okay!

I jumped mainly cos my ceo said I should jump, and considering that my confirmation depended on his decision, I did it!

Na, I’m just kidding, I actually felt confident of jumping because of his encouragement.

Here’s another thing, when people look at me, they immediately get the impression that it would be fun to bully me, so when I jumped, my lovely belayer suspended me in air for what seemed like forever! Then he dropped me inches above the ground ever so suddenly making me scream all over again *grr*.

Then we trekked back to our rooms, got some rest, went for dinner and prepared for the next item which was a blindfolded night walk

This I thought was an effective game as we were grouped in groups of ten, blindfolded and were led to some place. We were required to finish a trail blindfolded, having faith in the person at the front of the line.

The purpose of the game was mainly to improve your communication skills, as you are required to pass on info to the person behind you as well and makes sure it reaches the last person.

I was in put in the same group as my ceo (pee’s in pants), however, I did feel that I excelled at this game, as my colleagues got to know that I can understand and pass on messages if any. Also, I think my malay improved here, cos I ended up giving quite a bit (by my standards) of instructions in Malay! *pat on the head*

So this game definitely improved my communication skills! Yay!

Oh btw, my team won! Nyaahhahaha

After waiting for the rest of the teams to come, we headed back to our rooms for a much deserved shower and sleep!

Oh and I made so many new friends! Lynn's one of em, it's funny, she's from the legal department, and hehe, she has a lot of movies...

This piece has too many words :S

The whole team in out green shirts...

Stress? What's that? La la la

Ok, I just had the craziest 2 hours of my life and it was fun!

On Fridays, it's sort of a self declared 2 hour lunch break, so I grabbed this opportunity to go for a job interview.

Situation:

Didn't have cash

No ATM around me (regardless of the fact that I work in a bank)

Low on Fuel

Airconditioning was conked

Late

worst, I got a summon =(

So I sped like a mad woman to hartamas, that's where the office was, and reached at 12.40 (terrible of me), I would have reached earlier, had I known the way, but Thank God for Quah, I got directions, found my way, found a parking immediately and thankfully, reached the office, went through the interview.

Unfortunately I didn't get it, as I already had another job which I was not willing to give up. (it's complicated, don't ask)

Left that office at 1.30, again, don't forget I'm terribly low on fuel without cash. Manged to get to a petrol station with an ATM, did the neccesary and it was 1.50 by then!

Got slightly lost on the way back again =.= but I managed to tackle it, so it wasn't too bad, reached work, needed to find parking, and rushed back to office, only to realise I had left the money I withdrew in the car, so no lunch.

8(

Rushed back to office and thankfully, my boss hadn't come back, so I was s.a.f.e. not to mention got time to blog as well

;p

Today taught me that if you truly believe that everything will be alright, it will, it really is alllll in the m.i.n.d. I was also surpridingly calm, and entertained by how I wasn't being stressed.

Lessons learnt:

If you're going somewhere new, make sure you drive beforehand to check it out.

Don't try and squeeze time (like a hero)

Always keep cash in hand ( a good idea would be to hide some in your bag, each and every bag you have)

Basically before doing anything, be it a meeting or just going to play a game, think of all possible scenarios and how you'd overcome them. So you get to prepare in advance.

And I guarantee you, life will be awesome. And always be calm. There really is no reason to S.t.r.e.s.s

Weird? No! That, highly likey!

Today, on my way to work, I saw this lady smiling to herself, and her eye caught mine, I looked away, it was waaay to early to smile back.

However, it did cross my mind that this lady was weird! Smiling to herself, early in the morning.

But then, it occurred to me, I also tend to smile to my self. That too, pretty often!

That's when I realised, if you were to see someone smiling to themselves, be sure to smile back, or at least feel happy for them instead of thinking that they're weird! (like what I did)

Smile people!

But one thing you wouldn't want to be caught doing is this!

I found this guy sleeping in the McD at Ampang Park. Poor thing, must have fallen asleep after having a session with himself!

Yuck!

In Public!!! Well, one good thing is, it brought a smile on my face! hahahaha

Eew!

Cheers,

Day one of Cycling to work

Phewww, I was quite relieved when I came home alive yesterday! Na, i'm just kidding, I knew i would!

But omg, you guys out there, please, don't think cycling's easy, it really isn't.

Even after having done a test run the night before, boy was I exhausted! I was sweaty when i reached Dang Wangi LRT station, but luckily, for one, I was prepared, had a towel with me, and toweled down all the way to work. Felt better after drying up, I wasn't uncomfortable as such,

BUT

I was exhausted to the core!

I was almost gonne turn back and wake my sister up, but I pushed my self, and in my head all I thought was, if I die, it'd be for a good cause.

Anywho, i locked my bike, when to work exhausted!

At work, my dad found out I had cycled to the LRT and called up to give me an earful. =.=

Dad's can be too over protective I tell you.

SAD thing is, everybody who matter to me are very much against me cycling to work.

Initially I contemplated against doing it, but then today, I was reading 'The monk who sold his Ferrari' and I'm back on my original plan of always always cycling to the LRT.

It makes me really happy to know I am, though in a very small way, contributing to the betterment of the environment.
So I shan't stop. Soon enough, I'll work on petitioning to the government about bicycle lanes!
Yay!

oh and yes today I didn't cycle to work today, cos my sis woke up, or rather, we were both woken up ;) dreadfully early, that too!

But Monday I shall be back on my two wheels! Taking life, just, simply...

Ps: I'll be off to Trolak for the weekend on a team building camp. Early morning tmw ='(

Off to bed now!
Night kiddies =)

It's never too late

For new years, I promised I would find a more convenient and green way of getting to work.

It's the 13th of January today.... better late than never right?
;)

So,
step 1:

today at work, during lunch, I went to the bicycle shop that's on Jalan Dang Wangi, near Heritage Row, and bought my self a bicycle lock!



It cost me only RM 15, from a pleasant old man, who talked about how selling bicycles alone wasn't enough to survive...

Next,




Get the bicycle ready!

When I went to get it, I found out that the tyres were flat, actually i only found out after taking the bike out of my house... Like far far away from home, so i had no choice but to cycle to the LRT station, since it was also near a Petrol Station.

Basically I was forced.

At the station, I put on the most pitiful face I could, and luckily there was a guy who was pumping air into his bike, looking at me clueless, he helped me pump air into my bike!

yay puppy dog face!

So here's what's happening, I will be cycling to the Damai Lrt station, after a test run today, here's what I found out

> It takes about 15 minutes to the station
> I might get sweaty, so must bring extra towel
>If I'm wearing a skirt how do I cycle?
>I will not be able to handle a hand bang and cycle safely simultaneously
>oh and it's pretty tiring ='( on the plus side, this would work my body and stamina, so all good yo!

Nevertheless, I will do it, for the sake of the environment at least.

So last but not least, I should remember the



Yup Yup! the key! tres important! Else, I won't be able to lock my bike and somebody might steal it.

So I have have have to remember that.

And on days my sister goes to work in the mornings, I'll be getting a ride of her, I'll wear skirts and make up on those days
hahahaha

Wish me luck for tmw! Hopefully I don't give up!
