if I’m not mistaken, I have not been to the gym since end of last year. besides being lack of determination, the main reason was my work. I’ve been getting off work average 10pm everyday since last year November. can you imagine how exhausted I was and you can’t blame me for giving up my gym routine and the time to watch my diet. no doubt, the consequence of such lifestyle has lead me to expand ‘horizontally’!!!
and now since I am ‘free-er’, I forced myself to get back on the right track. it is really tough to kickstart this lazy ass of mine but I still got it done today.
I started my morning as usual with a cup of chocolate anlene milk and later snack on green apple. Then came lunch time, at first I thought of skipping lunch but my colleague just came back from Las Vegas and he has a lot to share with us so I can’t be possibly getting left out. ok... looking through the menu, I kept reminding myself to watch my calories intake. guess what's for my lunch today? I had a bowl of clear soup glass noodle with vege and tofu. I know... it sounds unappetizing rite??? and some of my colleagues said it looks like food for sick people too but surprisingly it tastes good and I didn’t regret ordering that.
tick tock tick tock... great... it was already 6pm then. faster finished up some final touch on my work then I headed to the gym. it was not as dreadful as I thought it will be and I was in fact very motivated bcoz there is a new hi-tech treadmill in my gym... hooray... I tried to hit back my 400 calories regime but I failed. I pushed so hard but my heart and brain are telling me to stop pushing. ok fine, maybe I need some time to obtain back that metabolism hence I finally settled with 300 calories burnt.
reached home about 1030pm and now am having my favorite bowl of vege soup and some taugeh too while writing this entry... yummy... and I am so proud of myself that I manage to get myself to do it hehe... okla, nothing impressive but at least I’m proud of myself for today lor :)

Thanks...
it has been around me since quite a while…
but I gave it up years ago…
hoping that I can get it in a better way…
in a less suffering way…
at first I was alright…
no big deal instead…
then I realized it still exists…
no matter where I go, what I do…
I guess I live in denial…
telling myself I’m better now…
but in the corner of my mind…
it keeps bringing me back to reality once in a while…
it brings me happiness…
it brings me courage…
it brings me to live life…
it brings me craziness too…
i’ll be carrying it on with me for the rest of my life…
no matter I like it or not…
thanks for making it such a motive in my life…
I’ll try to be pleased about it…

it’s so awkward (despite the yummilicious)....
went for dinner at Kota Damansara with Kelvino after my meeting nearby. we found this classic thai restaurant (damn…I forgot the name of that restaurant!!) that I have to really give them thumbs up for everything... the food, their friendly service, the environment, the concept and decoration.
we were attracted by the decoration of the restaurant when we were passing by to look for a place to feed our hungry souls. immediately Kelvino parked his car right in front of the restaurant and we stepped in without second thought. once we stepped in, we were too drawn in by the environment until one of the waiters came and told us ‘sorry, our kitchen has closed.’ we were very disappointed at that very moment but before we managed to move a step, the boss dashed to us and say ‘oh no, you are more then welcome. please take a seat and I’ll bring you the menu now.’ we were so delighted that he really cares about his customer. we took quite a while to decide what to eat since I was still talking on the phone and Kelvino flipping thru the menu figuring out what to order. then came the boss again asking do we need help in some recommendation. we were more than happy for all his efforts to make sure that we are comfortable and satisfied. while recommending us what are their specialties, he kept on mentioning that all his dishes are big enough portion for couples. we both went blank and kind of awkward when he kept on thinking that we are both couple. we just couldn’t stop laughing at each other faces after he left us taking our order into the kitchen.
after all the laughing and browsing around the authentic thai items that they sell as merchandise, our dishes were finally set on our table. we ordered a seafood fried rice, omelette with scallop and a curry dish. we both couldn’t stop eating and tried our very best to finish up the food although we were stuffed like a pig as it was really too good to be wasted. the squids, the octopus and the prawns in the seafood fried rice are so generous in portion and most importantly fresh. same goes to the scallops in the omelette. as for the curry, it has some unique taste to it that we both couldn’t describe (but of coz it tastes great) and has chunks of tender chicken meat, potatoes and onions.
at last, Kelvino had sacrificed his ‘slim’ tummy to gallop down all the remaining food and we definitely need sometime to digest in order to walk back to his car. we sat back and enjoyed our cup of tea when the boss came to clear up our table. we complimented him for the nice place and good food. he was so flattered that out of nowhere he said a lot of couples enjoy hanging out here because it’s very comfy and serene. again we both felt the awkwardness again! since when the rule says that when a guy and a gal having great dinner together has to be a couple??
yay, great dinner is definitely the best way to end a day. we were stuck in the jam at the u-turn back to uptown while sending me back to my office to get my car. since I was just the passenger and it was so jammed, I looked to the car right next to me. yeah, tell me about coincidence… it was Danny! opppss so ‘unlucky’ that he saw me too hence we gave each other a slight smile. seeing him with his current girlfriend and him seeing me with another guy is the biggest awkward moment in my life (and don’t ask me why as I really don’t know why). I guess we both couldn’t do anything bout it but to pretend nothing is going on. I purposely acted as if I was busy talking to Kelvino and ignored the rest.
what an awkward wednesday nite... but no doubt I did enjoyed myself utterly

give me a sec please....
and yes, you will be given one extra second on the 31st dec 2008 according to the world’s official timekeepers.
yeap, I was reading the newspaper this afternoon and this column in the world section has kept me well educated. I didn’t know you can actually add extra time to make the clocks coordination with the Earth’s spin. and I definitely know zero that it actually happened 24 times before since 1972 and the last time the leap second was added on 31st dec 2005.
where was I? how could I not know about it? talking about shallow huh (shame on you, Jamie)...
well... what should I do to make this additional one second to be more meaningful? one second is equivalent to the time of an eye blink or the time your heartbeat stopped when you sneezed. hell ya… it’s only one second and what else can I be possibly doing? I guess the answer is nothing haha…
2008 is ending in the next 2 days and 2009 is approaching soon. besides worrying age catching up, I think I really need to ponder what have I done over the year of 2008. one word describes best for my 2008, busy! I was busy with tonnes of work (events, unreasonable tight timeline projects and target sales of million). I was busy traveling for work (Singapore, Wuxi, JB and KK). I was busy traveling for vacations too (Krabi, Lang Tengah, Langkawi, KK again, Macau, Hong Kong and of coz Singapore for uncountable times).
looking back, I guess I did have balance life rite… I sacrificed my time to work hard but yet I pampered myself to play hard too. welldone for implementing my philosophy of life, balance life is happy life.
2009 is definitely a hard year with the financial crisis hitting us. some say it’s greater than the great depression and some say this catastrophe will last for about 20 years. I am no financial analyst hence I will just need to beware of my expenditure and make sure I work hard enough to earn my bonuses (I hope my boss is reading this hehe).
I’ll conclude this post by wishing all my dear friends a very happy new year. may you have a great journey ahead in 2009 and enjoy your 2008 to the very last additional second! oh and not to forget, my blog is going to be 1 year old soon… kudos for my blogging (crapping) spirit :P
