monday story

I had a really hectic day today with my day starting as early as 7 am then lessons went on and on until 10.30 am when I was supposed to have my break but I was frantically trying to get some things done and photocopy some worksheets that ran out. I had a meeting at 11 am with some JC students who wanted to do a programme for the kids so I had to meet them to ensure that they are clear of my expectations. It was good and short but when we were done I was only left with 10 minutes so I was not able to have my lunch even though I was starving!

The day went on and on that by the time my last class was over, I was exhausted. I am missing my double x today, I must have left my tablet box in my gym bag and I ended up taking the cab home.

I spoke to both Eddie and Margaret on the phone and I cannot help but feel so thankful and indebted to them for having to do this. Please understand that they have no financial interest in my business at all but the sacrifices and time that they have made for us is beyond what I can describe.

I cannot imagine doing this business without them.

Anyway, very exciting line up, as we are experiencing explosive growth, we had to have this, it was difficult teaching one by one. So on Sunday we shall get together on a more informal mode, but at the same time we will be learning. Thats the core value here. Never every missed an opportunity to learn.



As usual Mark will always make us all work together with partners. Right after the warm up, this lady (whom I see her everywhere Mark is:p) stretched out her hand to me and said something I could not hear. Upon getting closer to her this is what I heard ,"Partner."

She wanted me to be her partner?!

And throughout the entire class she actually guided me really well and kept asking me to relax. I was nervous because of her not because I did not know the steps hahaha. Nevertheless, she is actually really good, and was quick to compliment that I can turn 360 degrees smoothly. In fact, she was even showing me the routine before Mark actually teaches it. So weird and scary right? Haha.

Not bad for a psycho.

Anyway, as usual Mark will make us move around and change partners. There are a few crazy people in the class who shall continue to be the clown and make everybody laugh. When changing partners and my psycho partner went away, guess who my next partner was?

The instructor himself!

Today was actually more of a latin hip hop class so can you imagine I was the person she used to show example?!

I was like, aiya, how leh? In the end I decided to just go along lah, part and at one point after 'rolling' into my arms (its more clownish than sexy hahaaha) she turned to me and said "You dont want to touch me is it?" Erm no please :p

I was thinking, just dance.

I said: "Ok I shall push you a little when you are 'rolling' out." (Since she wanted graceful :p) And I did. And he almost fell. It was so funny that everyone was laughing when he turned around and said "Are you mad at me or something? She (pointing at me) pushed me so hard!" Hahaha, hilarious.

Seriously, the laughter was unstoppable until the end of the class and each time we had to be partnered he would give me a 'scared' sign in case I hurt her. Wahahaha...so funny.

Even though I was partnered with psycho and the instructor, the class was enjoyable and I believe its the little insanity that each of us brought inside. Of course I went up to Mark to make sure he was ok, not hurt hahah, and he was cool with it. This is actually one of the more enjoyable classes that I have ever attended. Its no wonder people are following him around for classes.

Too bad bestie was not there but I am sure I am 'chop' as the agressive man in HH class next week! Wahahaha!Will see him again on Saturday for BOB and BEB class!

So what started as an exhausting day thankfully ended in laughter. My night was made brighter when I was welcomed home by Totti running up to me! So adorable!!

Friday yay yay yay! PASE tomorrow along with follow ups to do!

To all my dear team mates, be here!

All geared up!

All geared up!

I just came back from Margaret's place where Eddie showed a very exciting plan. I actually enjoyed it so much, I did not realised it took about 1 hour. Haha! I think my guest was clear as well, and true enough, Eddie does show the best and clearest plan!

Sat down for a while, chit chat, eat, I am forever grateful to Eddie and Margaret because they promoted the Summer Conference big time. Wow!

I was the most suprised when they asked me to do the presentation on product demo. This one so super impromptu. No practice or rehersal and everything I said was spontaneous. I am glad I had wonderful audience!

Now we are all super geared up for Summer Conference happening this weekend! I shall look forward to seeing Margaret dance first! Haha!


Initially I wanted to write all about the X men phenomena, I even have all the pictures ready but today I woke up and my knee was acting up whenever I try to straighten it.

In the afternoon it was better so I was able to go out with Mom to Mustaffa to get a new phone for our home. Our home phone had gone berserk so we needed to get a new phone asap.

It was ok, except crowded and people kept bumping into me. Its annoying when you are limping and people just bumped into you?!

Mom was craving for thosai so I ordered this rocket thosai for her. We ate at Anandha Bhavan and I almost forgotten how 'leceh' the ordering process is. I mean, we order, collect drinks and collect food all from different counters! Usually when we come here for night owl, we are served as one large team so we just wait to be served.

This is good food after limping all over Mustaffa centre. Hah.

Anyway, I am hoping and praying hard that it will be well again soon since I go back to work tomorrow! In case it get really bad tomorrow (hopefully not!), I may have to extend mc which is, trust me, the last thing I want to do.

Just now in the evening it was acting up again and its so annoying that this sharp pain has chosen to come back today of all days!It has lasted until now so every movement of the knee is painful.

I am whiny when I am unwell so that is why I kept myself healthy! I am not being paranoid.

Pray for me ... ;)

You know, I cannot help but think that the weekend was too short--every Sunday! This weekend was fruitful but I did not manage to have any 'me' time at all so I am quite bummed about that. But thats ok because I am in the process of delaying gratification, so that I may enjoy it more in the future.Spent some time to relax and recover by catching a movie! Hmm, what other entertainment are there in Singapore right? As you know, I am a comedy movie boy so obviously I had to see this right? Oh, of course it helps that Zac Efron is so pleasant looking.errrrrrrrrrrrrrr....hehe

This story was interesting because its about man, at 37 who felt that his life would have been better and different if he had done the things he did not. I really wonder why the character (Matthew Perry) took 20 years to reflect on his life. I think reflection should be done on a daily, if not, weekly basis so that we are constantly concious and aware of what we are doing in our lives. You do not want to be sooo busy and suddenly you are 20 years older and somehow you seem to have forgotten your dreams.

Anyway, this movie was so funny, I really like it! Ned (Zac's best friend in the movie) was so super hilarious that tickled everyone each time he appears in a scene. Surprisingly, I thought Zac brought the main character out really well. He is a good actor, thank God, no breaking out into a song in the middle of the movie. Haha.I thought the whole moral of the story is that no matter how life's situation sucked, there will always be a second chance. There is this tagline from the movie that I really like:

When you are young, every bad situation seems to feel like its the end of the world. Well, its not.

I have always thought that I would be the composed teenager but looking back, I most certainly was not. My teenage years were close to hell, so I am so glad that my adulthood is soooooooooooo much better.

I am loving life now, for the first time in a long time, I am crystal clear on what I want, why I want it.


Due to the hectic schedule too, I was too exhausted to pack my lunches resulting in Mom taking over everything. Thanks to my constant nagging about fried food and unhealthy food, Mom is slowly beginning to understand what I mean. So this week, her choices were not too bad.BIG thank you! Next week, its my turn to be the photographer and helper since partner will be having his PSG session instead.

If you love someone, shouldn't you be able to accept his/her shortcomings? why is separation or divorce even in the picture?

but, as i grew older, i realise that there are many reasons that could lead to that inevitable move. the lack of romance. the fading away of passion. marriage becomes a commitment and couples often forget about why the fall in love with each other in the first place.

let me first just share with you some of the definitions of romance, according to dictionary.com:

- a romantic spirit, sentiment, emotion, or desire.
- romantic character or quality.
- a romantic affair or experience; a love affair.

when it's use as a verb, romance is defined as:

- to invent or relate romances
- to think or talk romantically
- to court or woo romantically

as you can see above, romance is a feeling, an experience and an action. you can't feel it if you don't work on it. as cliched as it may sound, but it really does take two to tango.

Some people are sadly not aware of how their partner expresses their love - something that it is crucial to understand. some men are naturally romantic, affectionate and expressive. others will show their love by doing jobs that are required, calling everyday, being on time, spending time with their partner and listening to their problems.

a partner should think of those moments that are filled with happiness, love and understanding. this builds faith not only in ourselves, but also in our partner and reinforces the love we have for them. many times as relationships go forward, we tend to think of bad memories and this kills the romance in a relationship.

i suppose, fun and pleasure are an important part of romance - sharing private jokes, laughing at ridiculous situations or behaviour and enjoying 'little' things are all essential parts of keeping the romance alive.

couples can reignite romance by simply enjoying one another’s company and spending time together. they should enjoy each other’s company without thinking of other things that may rob them of their joy of being together. being present with their partner and enjoying the time they have together, is the greatest joy a couple can experience.

I was incredibly irritated by the fact that I had to stay for meeting that lasted until 4.30 pm and I was not in attire for open meeting. Due to that, I rushed home and after packing and ironing clothes, I only managed to leave home at about 6.05 pm. The team was supposed to meet me at 6.30 so I took a cab down to town which costs a lot! Gameplan was awesome and I must thank Fir who selflessly lend his shoes to one of Nurul's guest. It was so funny because he was the timer for the session and he was wearing no shoes for the entire first session. Haha! Thank you soo much!

Ended up buying sandwich from 7-11 simply because PS is full of fast food chains and it was almost impossible to find halal healthy food! Almost. Anyway, I got started to prepare for lunch for the next day as soon as I reached home which was about 11.30 pm. Decided to include some taste for salad and Mom actually took my idea to bake the chicken with honey and olive oil to put it into my salad! It worked! The salad tasted sooo good! I also added in some raisins.

I also had the time to experiment with some wholemeal bread. Using SP's method, the bread crumbs came out crunchy and I was so excited! Packed it all and I only finished cleaning at 1.00 am.

Dinner was so awesome and it was even lovelier sitting with Ender's team. There was so much food to choose from, even more than the last time. However each time I wanted to take a 'No' food, I recalled how hard I worked in the afternoon and stopped myself.

Food was soooooooooo great, company was soooooo fantastic, chit chat with the team was the best. My conversation with Heng M and Xavier about Superman and Batman was the most hilarious and it was seriously awesome team bonding.


Sushi, salmon, grilled chicken, carrots, mushrooms, fish, kang kong and some other vegetables. I even stayed away from the prawns, ice cream and I ate only the top part of the cakes.

Wow. I am getting stronger at resisting!

I just got back from my friend's wedding and I finally got the chance to meet my ex primary schoolmates.
After 10 freaking years!
We hugged and kissed. OOOps!nah just hugs
Our mothers did the same thing too.
Macam nak pergi umrah or haji seh. Heh.

I shall update about it soon.
And also not forgetting,Zul's "bacin birthday".
Yes. Bacin giler one. Birthday boy tak mandi punye.
Nyahahaha.

Anyway, I wanna Gmask my new laptop.
Perhaps, with leopard design?
I'm so obsessed with anything that has leopard or zebra prints.


Well, I personally think that leopard design is sexaaayyy.
Can't wait to sexify my lappie. Lol.

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Yesterday was a really long day for me. Still, I am proud that I was able to 'tahan' being the mc for the whole day. My co - mc was so tensed and serious and I think I am the complete opposite of him. Not just in term of presenting styles, but everything. For instance, I had the opportunity to work with him and he is a really dedicated and passionate worker but at times, too nice to say the truth. Me, on the other hand, will say what needs to be heard, whether you like it or not. For 1 simple reason, the people we work with at times are simply oblivious to human emotions and social cues. Haha. Thats why I guess we make such a great team.

I have always thought that they are such collected and profound people but yesterday I had the time (a few hours actually) simply talking informally to them and I realised how human they all are. Take away the tittle, what they do, they are normal people and they do feel tired from the endless work demands. At the end of it, I do feel a little sorry for what they had to go through but at the same time, I am also full of respect because of the passion that they displayed doing this job.

Also, one of them was really cracking me up because he was so 'ladylike'. Wahaha. I really enjoyed all the talking though.

After that rushed over to Maulana to do Asar before heading off to function. I was a little sad for our guests who appeared in jeans thus, they were not allowed to go into the function hall. I think we must be extra specific to younger people because their definition of formal attire and our definition can be really different. No matter what, I still thought that bestie had done an awesome overview and its only a matter of time, she will built depth for her organisation, sooner than one might think.

what's next..hmmm let's guess ppl!

BELIF IN URESELF AZMAN

I am in so much excitement especially after watching Kumar's profile video. I was even more excited after looking at his beautiful house and the size of the house is so huge, my whole family can stay there and there will still be enough space for everyone.

Anyway what was even cooler was that it was styled like MTV Cribs, where audiences get to peek into the house of artistes. It was the SAME style but the only difference is that, he is no artiste!

This looks like a really exciting week and I will be really busy meeting individuals who have been qualified to see the plan. Amazingly, even though my schedule may looked really packed with a lot of things going on, the best part is that it is all part of the process to have an even bigger success.

I was having a conversation on Sunday and I was a little taken aback when this person said something that was not related to what I was talking about. This person was not listening to a word I said, sad but true. It is sometimes amazing to see how people communicate, most of the time people talk but they rarely listen. Through the system, I have learned to listen and from what they say, how they say, I can usually know what is their dominant thought process. It is only from there, you can know which 'hot button' to press.

Another remark by a friend also shocked me. There is so much negativity, my gosh, its almost too painful to hear. I really do not understand why people can just keep on complaining and whining as if it was going to make things better.

At the end of the day, one must know that one's action and thought process affects others too. For instance, a few years ago, I was really upset by the way things were going and my thoughts were just wrong. In the midst of whining (at that time it seemed like I was expressing myself:p) the person sitting next to me asked this question:

"So what are you going to do now? Give up?"

That really made sense, I realised that it was pointless to complain, I might as well make the best out of the whole situation. This person also said this to me and I will always remember it.

"You can give up now, but think about all the people that you are going to influence, all the people whom you are going to help change their lives for the better, all the people whose life you will touch, all the people who are waiting to thank you, they are depending on you. "

It was then that I realised that it was not about me, it was never about me, it was about people and a whole bigger picture than what I could see back then. The person who said this to me had so much belief in me, even when I did not have the belief in myself.

Still, I decided to trust that person and thanks to that, life is getting better as I speak.

Believe in the possibility of the future and believe in yourself to make it happen.

I admit! I am the cat king, even stranger cats are drawn to me. Haha. These 2 cats are total strangers to me but when I call them, they come to me and the one on the left even stroked its head onto my shoes. So cute! Too bad I was not carrying and cat food at that time.Sundays are not suppose to be this difficult! You know the feeling on Sunday night when you feel something at the back of your stomach knowing that you have to go to work the next day? Its so funny when people tell me that, yet when presented with an opportunity to strip this off their life, they chose to resist change.

Its also funny to me when people constanly complain about how they do not have enough money to make ends meet, yet when presented with an opportunity to strip this off their life, they again chose to resist change.

I am like any human, changes can be scary and you may not know what to expect but trust me when I say: It will get better.

Like Einstein says: We cannot think the way we we think when we are solving the problems that were caused by the same thinking.

Simple message. Change the way we think!

One of the leaders in the team, Arul, always say, be like the cockroaches and not like the dinosaurs. You know why? Because dinosaurs resisted changes thats why they became extinct! Cockroaches on the other hand, change and adapt to the weather, climate and etc thats why they are still around today annoying the crap out of us.

Change your thinking and you will change you life for the better:)
