A Break

I am tired...really really so tired ..

Mentally and Emotional tireness weighs me out and drags me to a worser state than never before.

I am still stuck in the rut. As much as I try to get out of it, it sinks me in deeper and deeper.

I need to find myself back. I am lost and have not been found.
I have to keep on searching for me. I lost me. My mind, my spirit and my will. I will find it back one day, i'm sure. But i don't know when. I hope soon.

Leaving for a break tomorrow. Bali seems like a good place to find myself back.
But i don't know if it can be done.. a little apprehensive

A Babelicious Body!!

YAY!!!

I have finally finally signed up for Hot Yoga Classes @ the highly recommended Absoluteyoga.
Anywayz, I always wanted to go for those boutique yoga studios..no hard-selling please. Thank you very much.

Yesterday was my very 1st lesson.. and Oh My Holy Cow! It was damm HOT!
The studio was heated to about 43 degrees and after a few yoga poses, I was sweating buckets!! My sweat just kept going on and on! FWAH!! This is more effective than walking back home and jogging 6km!
Dajie went with me as well and it was so funny! She bought along a really auntie-looking piece of towel lah! so cute lah! hahahaha! At the end of the session, we both were so tired! But luckily we did not faint from the heat!

I am aiming to complete my 35 sessions within 5 weeks. By then , I praaay that I will have that Babelicious Body!!
So as of 6th april, I have 2.85% of that Babelicious Body!


Last friday, I went to Tampines to look at some Border Collies.. They were cute! But sadly, I can't seem to feel them. Maybe afterall, I am not fated to be a good dog owner..and so, the search for that ultimate BFF continues.

And oh last weekend, I did not strike 4D.
NBTT.

I miss your smiles

Its been a long time since I last seen you smile. You know, the real happy smiles and laughter you always been able to carry off and infect others around you.

Its been a long long day; you are tired, weary, stressed out. The pressure is building up.
You are working very hard, putting in extra hours. There's no sympathy from co-workers.

You fought hard in all that you do. When it seems like you almost did it, the whole shit piles up again...

I hope I can help you by lending you the support you need. I will learn to be independent, and to take care of myself.

Dear, I know its tough but I also know you can do it. You will emerge stronger and better. Remember, you are not a quitter, but a fighter. This is what you told me.
What doesn't kills you makes you stronger, so never allow yourself to be killed easily.

I miss your smiles... and your funny jokes.. I miss your happy face..

Its has been rough. We are almost at the bottom already. Don't worry, cause very soon, we will rebound back. And when we do, it will be much better!!

11th March 2009

"There comes a point in your life when you realise who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will....
So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future...

Time to wake up!

Yesterday, a dear friend of mine sent me an email..

Its a report written by CLSA. I don't think it can be anything much, amid the gloom and doom of the market..seriously, what else can you expect?

But it was the total opposite.

Apparently, this guy , named Andrew from CLSA wrote about "Acting your way into better thinking".

In essence, the report was about how he rode the stock market in Thailand's boom and bust of the early 90s. He went on to survive the 1997 Asia Financial Crisis. The crux of it all was he suffered some setbacks, but what got him out of depression was VOLUNTEERING.

Seriously, with the terrible market condition, its easy to get depressed. It kinda weighs people down.
But Andrew shared the 10 lessons he learned from surviving all this.

And here, i quote from Stotz, Andrew 2008:

1. Working harder may not bring in additional revenue. People just don't have the money to spend. Not understanding this can produce high stress.

2. The tax payer ultimately pays. In a debt driven crisis, indebted biz and individuals starts default, then goes bust. The govt has to pay depositors of bust banks , if not social system collapses. The govt eventually collects money from tax payers.

3. Money does not bring happiness and the loss of nearly all of an individuals wealth, though extremely painful, is not the end of the world.

4. When you feel depressed, help other people, really get into their situation and help them out. Donating your time is much more powerful (to both giver and receiver) than just giving money.

5. Pain is a partner of growth, the pain and struggles that Andrew faced helped him to be a stronger and better person. The pain also forced him into action to solve his problem and to build a more diversified life.

6. "You can't think your way into better action, you must act your way into better thinking".

Andrew also shared on how to act your way into better thinking. One of the ways which i totally so agree is to pick up new activities and hobbies and to keep one physically active. All these activities help to keep things in perspective and rebuild your positive spirit to live another day and make the world a better place.

I like dancing and running. What about you?
