Dedicated to Siti, my wife, best friend, and better half!

Together, we can be HEROES!!! Yay!

Gym

Signed up for gym last weekend..

The  trainer did some calculations.. and think every thing stated at normal range.  I am happy with what i see. But surely, there's a need to improve on something, somewhere, somewhat, some how... 

Can't remember what was indicated on the piece of my physical assessment paper. 

 The trainer mentioned that i can choose to work on my body fat, even though it's within the good range base on my vital stats.

Think my body fat percentage works up to 24%

Ideally, for my case should be between 21-33%.  

He suggested to cut it down by 2.4%.. to the less health risky range.. i guess.

and work on the thigh and waist areas...  

I remember the last time i took some blood test, my cholesterol blood level  was " borderline high".. 

i just skimmed through the numbers and it states "6.0"  and  didn't really find the time to analyse what it means.. 

I didn't do anything about it. 

Denial stage maybe, and still is... 

Leaving so soon..

Left with 14 mths remaining to my 3yr bond, and i chose to leave.

Exit interview tomorrow with the HR .. don't know what they are going to ask me.
No ugly stuff that i will say eventhough i got a lot to comment about. But even if i do, don't think they give a damn. All that they are interested in will be the 4-fig cheque amt which is due for payment tomorrow. The liquidated damages from breaking the 3yr bond.

I thought that they will offset against my salary .. so as to reduced the LD amt. But no, they insisted on full LD amt. My salary will be released on my exit day.

The most saddest thing now .. my exit day falls on my last Night shift (after offsetting my AL and Day off) .. as my dearest colleaque put it as " leave in peace " . Yah.. i am going to leave the ward like how my preceptor left us... he left in peace.. just broadcast " thanks and goodbye" sms.. and see how many pple return your sms.. and that's how u will know who and how many pple at work really cared about you.

To the one who already miss me and cried in the storeroom .. I am going to miss you to the MAX!

And i am already missing everyone of them at work... . I blamed it on the system that divides us.. but when I minus the pressure at work, and add a bit of smile and laughter among us all, we are a bunch of wonderful and fun people to be with. Remember the BBQ last december.. we played hard and had loads of fun.

it's really hard to leave when u know it is not the work that u hate but the system..
and as i write this.. can't stop the tears...
Today till the end of my working days, will have to try to hold back .. the sadness and tears..
but each time i talk and think about it , and with be my dearest colleaques, it jus makes me sad
... ahhh.. i guess i will be the one running to the storeroom..

Thick and thin... till the end...

yeah, its been a long time since my last post. But I saw this in my inbox and I thought its so nice and meaningful that I just gotta share it with those who matters... you! (Thanks Darren!)

This is interesting. Try it out !

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your-Self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
& the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip
(As shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will
open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)... ., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

Please try this out......... ....

Yes... through thick and thin... for all our lives...

Weekend Getaway: Bali

In 3hrs time, we will be in Bali for the weekend :)

Almost didn't make it for this trip, but thanks to the good people at HolidayBagus.. they make it all possible!

Will be back by Monday early morning, eta 0300hrs. And i am already thinking about work!!! Stress!!! I hate, I hate, I hate...!!! But i kinda miss my colleagues though..

It was a really late minute planning.. kevin had to request for 2 days of his precious leave and miss his Saturday class ... all for me.

And for all that he has done for me .. I am very happy +++++++++++ LoVe U !!!

Got to check in right now... bye :)

me and my in-laws :)

We took his parents and grandparents out for dinner.. a once a month a thingy thing we try to do best. But most of the time, we took Gong out more often as he lives away from the rest. Took them to Toa Payoh Fork and Spoon for Stewed Beef Noodle, dry or soup or curry.. Very authentic. I recommend to all, must try.
Think it was one of the first dinner together after very long time.. after Gong discharged from TTSH recovering from intestinal obstruction and Papa's closed fractured wrist. See the bandage there. Mama on the other hand, having fever on that night. And, Popo.. well, she is cute as ever like Hello Kitty.. she's the healthiest among them all. Alhamdullillah.

hmm.. who is looking after who now that the younger ones are less healthier than the elderly.

8 June: Saucony 100 Plus Passion Run

Last run was SCSM 2007.
Today, only 10km.. i felt like dying ..
felt so tired..
felt heavy too..
hyperventilate before reaching 5km.. very bad!

a little asthmatic

took 2puffs..

felt so draggy..
a few over-sized runners over took me..
can imagine how slow i ran..?

in this run, i only had my mobile and music .. and of cos, my inhaler with me.
no watch, no sunglasses, no sunblock.

Kevin and me started off together, then about 2km, he went on ahead of me..

i don't know what exact time i finish the race.
but surely i exceeded 1 hr,
which, of cos.. great disappointment!

But this 10km is less stressful than Mizuno's.

Next run.
Mizuno 10km?
should i?
