I was in a VERY bad mood today. Yeah, the usual Monday blues, but this is coupled with anti-social mood as well. I have a new colleague and I already don’t like him day one. It’s hard to explain why, just felt that he’s not a genuine person. Making the whole Monday situation worse was my big boss’ tales. Haiyaaa… enough already lah. I’m so tired of his lies. NOT having lunch with him for the entire week, lazy to entertain. I’ve decided to prolong my anti-social mood till end of the week.

Big boss announced my increment to me – same as last year but on the down side, last year’s increment was effective January and back dated, but this time, effective July. Great, I’m going backwards with my work achievements. Oh, to motivate me, big boss told me I’ll be going through my performance review end of this year. And what’s so special about this review? It’s going to be one that he decides if I will become a manager. A. MANAGER. However, I need to perk up on my current work attitude, need to do more and make my product a real success. (Like I’ve been sleeping in my job previously?) Anyways – Wow… I’ve heard that ONLY about like 4 times perhaps. Very motivating indeed, right?

Still on the not so happy note, mum has taken my refinancing and venturing into my own business VERY badly. Gave me 2 sessions of lectures tonight and her voice is still ringing in my head. I was assuring her that I will be fine, not to worry about me, or rather, I said don’t be bothered about me (leave me alone). Eventually, I found out that what I said did not comfort her at all because what she was worried about was that I will result in her not having a home to stay. Sigh… fine. I will ensure that even if I had to starve or sleep on the street BUT have her secured with a place to stay. That sounds okay to you mum? Very encouraging indeed, right?

Before lunch today, I already felt that I’ve worked a million years without a break. All I wanted to do was to pack my bags and go to the gym, workout out to the max, sweat out, tire myself out.

Did an RPM class today with Colin. This should have been my 4th class with him I think. Don’t feel like staying back for pump for various reasons. To answer Wookie’s question – yes, not motivated because Swee is not there. But I had a really good workout in RPM. There was this little episode where I nearly changed bike because the handle bar was a bit loose. But before I did that, I had asked help from the instructor to inspect the problem. And there was no problem! Okay, I’m just seeking for instructor's attention.

Stupid bike, tsk.

Class was good, much better than last week’s class that was with the team teach instructor, her voice was not compatible with the mic. It was close to annoyance actually. So at least my bad day ended with a good workout with just the “right” voice.
