First Post for Year 2011

Such a great morning! I slept through the transition of 2010 into 2011 last night. Fireworks or not, my sweet dreams definitely beat them all. =)

So, I was writing down my schedule for today yesterday (No I don't do that a lot.) in the tearoom during my one-hour gap between cases, when my colleague walked pass me and saw my plan. She took an interest to it and suggested that I should pray for a great year ahead before I go jogging. And that's what I did this morning. Woke up ten minutes before seven, brushed my teeth and washed my face, listened to Good Life by One Republic, watched The Secret To You video, and prayed for a great and fantastic 2011. Yeah it's gonna be totally terrific!

Saw an Indian lady walking her golden retriever just now, and her letting the dog pooped in the middle of the road without bothering to clean up, too. Well, not such a good way to start off a new year, lady. Anyway, according to my schedule, I'm supposed to be practising my guitar right now. It's just that sis is still sleeping, so here am I updating my blog.

Back to yesterday, it was quite a great day with not many cases. I was on evening shift from 1200 to 2030 Hours. 4 minor cases in total for my theatre, and the last case finished before 6 o' clock. Took my sweet time preparing the sets needed on Monday, and dang, an hour and a half to go. So I found myself a seat in the tearoom, took out a pen and a piece of paper, and started working on my new year resolutions. Yeah I know it's a bit late, but nothing is ever too late. (I'm just saying that to make it sound good. I don't really know whether there is a thing that's just too late. I suppose there's plenty. Yeah you know the Chinese saying 树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不在？Basically it means that the parents are gone when the child wants to take care of them in return. Gosh what a sad example to give on the start of a new year.) Anyways, I'm still working on my new year resolutions. But I can share some that I've already written down with you guys.

• Exercise three times a week
• Be a total vegan
• Read a book a week
• Spare half an hour on every workday on work related learning
• 49KG!!!
• Update my blog twice a week

That's all for now. Have a great day! =)

One Step and Another (Breathe in ,breathe out)

Blasting Coldplay's songs in the room. 'I don't want to follow Death and all of his friends... ...'

It's a public holiday morning. Of what, I do not know. So, with no other plans in mind, I went jogging. Covered greater distance in shorter time today. =) Of course, the distance wasn't THAT great and the endurance wasn't that much yet, but I'm happy as long as there is improvement.

Great morning, as it forever will be. Lazed around in the bed for quite a while, finally woke up a little before eight (planned to be out by 730am). A little after eight, with my favourite khaki PDI cap (the one and only actually, for four years+, already), I was out of the gate, breathing in the fresh air. I always started off my jogging with brisk walking and deep breaths, and always skipped the stretching. I know it's bad, but well, who cares (torn ligament is not that likely in my case. Until then... ...). I did't have music to go along with, but I had quite some pleasant melody to enjoy. The dogs barked when I jogged pass their houses. Saw quite a few lovely dogs: Golden, Dalmation, Labrador, those tiny toy dogs and a lovely silky terrier who trotted along his/her master with the shiny long hair swinging with every little step. I'm missing Twinkle and Yankee. Saw a Sunway nurse in uniform getting in/out (I do not know) of her front door. Looked at her for a few extra seconds. Nope, not someone that I know. Saw a beer-belly-middle-age guy watering the plants; two women of neighbouring houses cleaning up the car porches, not talking to each other at all; houses for lease, houses for sale; fallen leaves and flowers; the neighbourhood guards from a distance; some other joggers; a young guy getting into his Nissan; a group of middle-aged women doing stretching in the futsal court; kids playing basketball; a mom (I guess) with her daughter playing the swing; a lovely little girl on her tiny tricycle calling out to her grandpa who walked in front of her when she couldn't get over the bump; feeling the burning sensation of my muscles, the trickling beads of sweat along my jaw. Great morning, like I said.

Drinking soya milk, and its now 'Life in Technicolor'.

I miss swimming too. Anyone?

When Ramen Seduces (There's no chance against it)

As usual, it's a great day! I'm on evening shift today, so I went jogging this morning. Enjoying my super spicy ramen right now, with Yiruma filling up the room. Ah, me and my blissful morning.

Got myself a Wiggy by P1W1max 2 days ago. However, the sad thing is, my system cannot detect the modem. Called up the company to enquire, and was asked to reinstall. Did what I was told to (times three), situation persisted. So, I've decided that I don't want P1 any more. (I was also told to call back if the problem remains, but I'm just too demotivated to do that) Gonna return it either today or tomorrow. So long, Wiggy, and believe that I've held on to you, till Fate do us apart.

Another month is gone, soon. Still feel like I don't have much contribution to the department. That kind of makes me guilty in getting the salary, but it only goes as far as that. Money is the root of all evils, but it also pays for my bread. I've made up my mind that I'm gonna sponsor a child through World Vision. That would be a good thing to do, and a good way to use the money. Not that I have much to spare, but where there's a will there's a way. If I can light up a child's future, even by the slightest bit, why not? Why don't you? All it takes is RM50 a month.

Beautiful Sunday Morning

I guess I forgot about my blog. Yeah I did. Feel a little sorry for myself, because I started it thinking that this is a good way of holding on to one of my favourite pastimes (writing, not blogging)- used to be, anyway- besides keeping friends who are far away up to date about my life.
Finally, sedentary lifestyle no more! Just got back from jogging. =) I feel all healthy already! (duh, ==) Found out that my stamina has gone down to its lowest point ever. Gotta work on that! It's drizzling now. A very good reason to put off the laundry. No? Well, I shouldn't. Just give me another ten minutes. Or probably half an hour.
One hour? How about two? (Pray that it rains heavily)
Listening to Mayday now, yeah, again. I Love the way their music brings out the spirit and craziness in me. Just right for a perfect Sunday morning like this! Indeed, life has been great. Lots to learn, too little time (much of it is wasted on Facebook, not to mention sleeping, my forever No. 1 favourite, but one should never regard sleeping as time wasting), gaining weight, too long a wishlist, too little money, dazing out just as much, too many to-do's, too lazy for them all. Still, somehow, life is great! And I despised OT so much. Irony. Guess it's the law of attraction working. I just spent too much time thinking not to get into OT, and it ignored my 'not'. But I'm happy. =) I so totally do not want a rich, handsome and smart guy who loves me. ;)

Dang it stopped raining already.
