Taking action now!

After the high-energy of last weekend, the week followed was just as high energy as it went. We had a couple of deadlines to rush for this week.

Having in mind the seminar’s most-repeated quote, “TAKE ACTION”, I decided I had to invest my time in exercising. On Monday morning, I just put on my jogging gear and went jogging. It was a hard start and I found myself jogging for as far as 800 meters only.

I went for another jog on Thursday morning, earlier than Monday. I caught lovely sight of old folks working out in one end of the stadium and another group of yoga ladies in another corner. Then I came across this quirky character. An old lady, perhaps in her 60s, who was jogging with her hair down earlier, was now at a corner of the stadium working out her hips rather vigorously. I found myself grinning with a very mischievous thought in my head.

Actually, I’m very motivated to lose alot of weight within a month or two after watching The Biggest Loser Asia’s 3rd episode. Some contestants shed off 5kg in a week! I’m aiming to join a marathon in 2010. I CAN DO IT!

When doubt takes over

Sometimes in life, you have to meet with pessimists to channel the negativities into your strength. They say, one’s loss is another’s gain. It’s the same concept, really.

Hello friends, I’ve been back in Singapore for 2 weeks already. However, I’ve been in recluse. I’m in a stage where I’m neither here nor there. There were and are alot of instances I was made to realize, here I am stepping on this same ground while the sky is still high up there, not within reach, at all. What I really mean to say is, humility is still the key to life.

I have faced with situations where I was disregarded, which made me question myself if I have a need to be there (those situations I mean, not the locality, mind you). I have been in situations where I was supposed to matter in the decision but I was omitted from the discussion itself. These made me value the power of effective communication.

Yes, you may be communicating your thoughts, intentions to someone else. But if you did not effectively communicate them, the receiver may or may not get exactly the point you wanted to get across. Dare I say I was hit the hardest when it happened too close to home.

The fact that I’m already home makes it worse. Yes, I’m speaking in vagueness where you’ll need to find those hidden sentences between these written lines to know exactly what I’m talking about.

Back to my main point. I’m sure you’ve ever faced with a very conflicting person. Or maybe, he’s not exactly conflicting but his current situation made him so. You might think at that point of time you are settled and contented. But once you are faced with a person like that, your mind get to thinking. You start to question your beliefs in certain things.

I guess, my heart is still not settled. I’m still confused.

Anyhow, that’s my brain vomiting its excess thoughts. Here, some updates on what has happened so far.

In the short 3 months that I’ve been working with Shegar, I have gained tremendous experiences. His world is fast-paced. Once, he received a call in the late evening for a job needed the very next day in Melacca. I was glad to have assisted him throughout the whole day at the on-site. I met with 4 popular Malaysian artistes, which at this time I am not able to disclose their identities.

The following week, I managed to catch CUCI the musical and saw (or met? no, not really) the veteran singer, Salamiah Hassan who was watching the same show with her daughter, Atilia. The same week, we had one of the huge event at MMU (Multimedia University) at Cyberjaya. It was the launching of its charity program, Yayasan Universiti Multimedia, headed by the former Malaysian PM’s wife, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. And definitely Tun Dr Mahathir was there too. The guest artiste for the night was…

.. Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza!

I admit, I’m not a fan of hers but meeting a person of her stature was definitely overwhelming. I’m sure you can tell by the wide grin on my face. The job definitely has it perks.

Since I’ve been back home, it’s quite an irony, how much propositions I suddenly have. The Wan himself have been getting on quite well with his side projects. One of the latest was a backdrop on a stage outside Takashimaya.

So people, doubt is never a negative thing. It’s good to have doubt, so you get to question your intentions and movements. Once you have the answer to the question, you know then you’re doing the right thing; that you’ve ascertained yourself of your doings.

But, too much of doubt is not advisable. Heh.

When good things come

Today, 25th Sept 09, is definitely the best day for me in September.

I had an appointment with my doctor and was I surprised when I entered her room, she exclaimed, “Congratulations!” with a huge grin. I had earlier jogged my way from where the cabby alighted me to the clinic as I was 10 minutes late. I couldn’t register what was she congratulating me for. As I sat, still in bewilderment, she continued that I had done a very good job at bringing down my prolactin level. My prolactin level is now standing at 8, comparing to 6 months ago when it was at 119! (A normal woman’s prolactin level should only be within the range of 3-30.)

Imagine my delight!

She then went on asking me of my weight and menstrual cycle. I’ve lost 5kg within the last 3 months (which is quite an achievement for people who have prolactinoma) and my cycle is almost normal now.

I couldn’t stop smiling to myself but I didn’t have the Wan with me to share the joy. He had gone to run an errand for me.

But when we met later before F1Rocks, I rambled everything to him! The doctor said, I need to put in more effort or just keep up with what I’m doing and if I’m lucky I can get pregnant soon! WIW!

The night was sealed with much celebration at the F1Rocks at Fort Canning (the night with NERD & No Doubt) with Dila, Erra and the Wan. Indeed, it had been such a lovely wonderful day. I’m going to be sleeping with a smile.. Goodnight world.

When Ramadhan ended

I couldn’t see through the end of Ramadhan for I was given the monthly leave. And I wasn’t at all in the mood for Raya cos of the painful cramps and feeling half-energized. Not much photos were taken, not much visiting either – it was just our home when everyone of the Wan’s siblings arrived and then off to my sister’s in Yishun to see my family.

We ended up watching the Manchester derby game and well, forgotten the mandatory family shot. Perhaps we’ll just wait til my eldest sister is back from Segamat with her husband and Asfa since they’re Rayaing there this year.

So here’s just one photo of us at Yishun, me almost gone still trying to put on a smile for the Wan.

Selamat Hari Raya to my fellow Muslims and enjoy the “off-in-lieu” to the rest!

Oh and Happy 28th Birthday to the bestfriend, Dila for her birthday was the same day as 1st Syawal this year! =D

When I turned 28

I celebrated my birthday in PJ. My bestfriend who came home from Germany for Raya decided to be in PJ for my birthday. And little did I know Shegar, my boss, had spent the entire day baking a birthday cake for me. He got me fooled though I had his schedule locked down.

I was feeling under the weather with high fever and diarrhea. But the happy surprise cured me, for few hours at least =D

Thank you to Shegar, my husband Wan, my bestfriend Dila & Ranjinder for the surprise. Here’s to many happy returns!

When I’m turning a year older… soon!

It’s the month again, September, where I’ll celebrate my birthday and turn a year older. I don’t know how to feel. I guess it’s a mixed emotion of both excitement and a little sad at the same time.

What I wished to have changed didn’t change much and the unexpected happened 5 months ago and has well, changed alot of things. I never thought at this age changes in that area will have so much effect on me.

I still want to feel 27 and change alot of other things. Freeze the year and well, just freeze the year! But who are we kidding yea? Time changes everything and Dulcie Soh of Radioactive sang, “everything changes, they say”.

So this year, I’ll be celebrating my birthday in PJ. I’m getting a birthday visit from my 1st love! But of couse I’m secretly hoping I can return home and celebrate with my family too.
