A Sunny Sunday

It seems so much easier to write about my life when I was in UK. Is it a sign of aging? I have more concerns towards my privacy now (not like I am a celebrity -.-) where I try not to reveal too much about my work and relationship. Additionally, my life is busier in Malaysia. Sorry lor, no such thing as 10am - 6pm-working-hour-with-an-hour-and-a-half-lunch-time-plus-15-minutes-tea-time-&-working-OT-is-prohibited kind of working environment in Malaysia for me.

I guess this round, I will let the pictures do the talking, some travelings that I've done recently.

Went to Cameron Highlands in July with primary classmates.

Tagged along with alpha boy and his friends to Melaka over the weekend.

A ride to Genting on a Sunday morning on alpha boy's motorbike.

Looks familiar? haha, I cheated. This is taken when I was on the way to KL for a meeting.

Air Asia airport (duh! I wish I can leave on a jet plane), just the airport. Sending mom off to Perth.

That's it for today. What? The title is not related to the entry? The title is there to tell you that I am writing this on a sunny Sunday :p. You have a great one!

Red Alert

My health has been deteriorating since I stopped my weekly swim 4 months ago. The first obvious consequence is weight gain. I'm 4 kgs heavier, building up fats instead of muscles and I can no longer fit in size 8, sometimes 10. I look FAT instead of fit.

The worst part of it - I am not feeling well. I get migraines easily, body aches and couldn't focus on the things that I do. But I experienced something that really scares me this week and I am still going through it. I have been having headache every day. YES, EVERY SINGLE DAY. For the first few days, I thought I was too tired and didn't pay much attention to it. It was until the fourth day, I realized something is really wrong.

I went for massage, to Tui na and even Guasa therapy. All told me that I've sprained my shoulder muscles. I thought so too and I am still hoping they are right. The fact is I am not feeling any better after the treatments. The pain didn't subside, it still come back especially in the evening near 4pm+. 

I take this as the RED alert and I need to do something about it (I still want to get married, succeed in my career and take care of my parents!!!). Exercises and control my diet - starting from now onwards. I went for a 20 mins jog and did another 15 mins stairs running today, gonna cut down my carbo consumption and of course sleep early.  

Life is short.

I know I posted this before but I guess this pic acts as a good reminder (actually it's because I can't find other post-related picture to post :p)

Itchy throat

I don't mean to abandon my blog, it's just that when you have more than 5 sites to update & maintain @ the same time, your personal blog seems to be the less important XD.

Well, my life has been pretty busy. I am normally stuck at work during week days, hence I appreciate my weekends a lot - to spend time with family, alpha boy and friends. & if I am lucky, perhaps some time for myself. I do miss those times where I just laze at home, doing nothing. It seems so far away now but I am not complaining :) That's a decision I've made so I gotta stick with it. 

I've been gaining weight and I am afraid to step on the bathroom scale. Alpha boy is complaining a lot, saying that I eat too much and lacking of exercise which...is TRUE! SIGH. But I managed to jog a good 40-mins over the weekend okay, I did try :p 

Just a short update for now COZ as mentioned in the title, my throat is feeling a lil weird now, a symptom that I am going to be sick. So, bed time :)

something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Another entry in July 2011

I have been busy. Work has taken up almost all my time except weekends.

Hopefully I will be able to blog properly soon.

Listening to...

I thought of J when I was listening to this song for the first time. Her story and her pain. The one that you thought you could spend the rest of your life with, left you. He/she is already moving on with his/her life without you. Yet, you are still stuck at the same old place hanging on to the past.

But, no matter how excruciating the pain is, your wound will heal. I wish the best for you, my dear friend.




Love this! Especially this part of the lyrics "What there is to complain about?". Everyday we complain about the small little things in our life and we don't realize we complain so much that we forget how to appreciate.

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. ~  Frederick Keonig

A new start?

I used to blog actively when I was in UK for my working holidays. Then I stopped blogging after I came back as I was going through a tough time (looking back, it's peanut now) and I wouldn't want my working holidays blog to turn into some depressing-why-you-treat-me-like-that kind of blog -.-

So I guess it's time to pick up the blogging habit again. It's a way to improve my writing skills coz I feel that my-already-not-so-good writing skills are deteriorating, a space to share my thoughts/findings with my friends and it is also a method to release my tension.

If you have read my previous blog, you should know that I don't write proper English (ok la, actually my English are not that good *shy*). So if you are here for that, you better head somewhere else coz the way I blog might make you puke blood and start blaming my English teachers (not their fault, really). 

SOOOOOO, this is the start of my blog (again :p).

At Bukit Jalil Park, one of the rare mornings where I woke up early and went for morning walk with my parents. Oh, can you see the birds?

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.  ~Author Unknown
