I kept being asked if I'm proud of my achievement. I am supposed to be proud?
Yes, maybe I should, since it's nothing to be ashamed of, and to be fair to myself, the project has been quite successful so far. The response I heard so far has been very promising and exciting. Even Carebear has supported and another member-friend of mine also got herself one today. My Aunt said her knee pain is gone and would really want to continue.
But... why do I feel like sighing? Am I acting like a snob little b*t*h if I am just "okay" with the results? Am I not committed and "connected" to my job if I'm not jumping up and down with joy towards this "achievement"?
What's wrong with me?
I suspect this is my problem - my hard work is now rewarded with "fame"; my achievements are other people's profit. What might make my day, plaster a big smile on my face and make me squeal with excitement is "actual" reward. An increment, I'm sure, will brightened me up.
On the contrary, my feeling of being very touched and grateful, is so strong. All my friends believe in what I'm doing and have supported me through offering their time, money and many of them their blood. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
Now some of you must be wondering now what sort of "blood "business" I'm in. Mwah hahahaha...

Working my butt out
"All I can see is your butt".
Okay, thank you very much Carebear for the information.
I didn't join BC last night, for that, Carebear's little princess asked me how come - I said "I'm a bit bored with combat"; Another member asked me (sorry, I don't even know your name and I'm so flattered that you even remember my face) why I wasn't in the class and I said "I'm... lazy". Hehe...
Of course there were many other reasons, among the other reasons was because I don't want to be doing so much upper body workout (to me, I work my upper body more in BC) whereas the part of me that needs "repair" is lower body - remember my objective? Slimmer thighs and smaller butt.
So, I went on the wave machine before BP aiming for some lower body exercise. Then while I was trying out the poses suggested by the printed instruction on the machine, Carebear arrived at the crime scene and presented me with her "observation". Hey, I WAS trying to "do" my butt, therefore you see my butt jutting out so much. That's what the instruction said, if I bend down, grip on the lower part of the machine, it's supposed to allow me to work on my butt and hamstrings. BUT, I can't feel those part being worked out at all... I wonder why. Must try again on Thursday.
So the result of the 30 minutes "waving" were 330 kcal burnt, 13 plus km and very tired thigh muscles.
Continued with pump. The announcement to start the class was "close your eyes if you see something you are not supposed to see" - and Carebear was referring to the general direction of the front of her tank top. Okaaaaay... the padding izit? Haha...
I decided to reduce my chest track weights to 5kg only, and that still gave (gives) me muscle ache. I was then able to maintain a full range for the moves in back track. The other tracks were as per how I felt during my last few classes of this new release. The instructor, whom I thought suited the title of The Grand MOT, also declared muscle ache the next morning. How not to have aches? Didn't do pump for a week and the weights carried were still SO crazy? 15kg for squat? 8.5kg for chest right? and 6kgs for biceps? *faint*
Me got left shoulder pain lately, to think of it already about a month, especially sore when I wake up if I sleep on my left side for too long. Asked Carebear for advice and it didn't sound so serious, right? Even texted to ask PT and he said he didn't think is joint injuries, maybe just pull of muscles or nerves. He gave me this instruction, and I'm still trying to imagine and figure out how to do this correctly...
"keep ur elbow close t ur body wit 90 degree angle, then rotate outwards for 15 or 20 times. But make sure elbow stick close t ur body"
Hmm... outwards is which direction? how to rotate when my elbow is still sticking close to body? Wanted to get that demonstrated just now when I was at KLCC, but I was late, and PT was well, busy PT-ing.

Birthday Cake - For Laughs
OKAY! Finally... this was the birthday cake I made for my cousin the other day.
The cake:
The problems: Forgot all about the "ears" haha... and this little lamb has got a really small head for that size of body... hehe... and the lamb wears "shoes" (forgot to draw on the swoosh hehe).
By the time we put on the candles, MC, BIL and me almost rolled off our chairs for laughing too much. The waiters and waitresses were also busy walking pass and all of them had a good laugh too.
Notice the Toblerone piece on the head? The Makeshift "ear".
Have you been entertained? Will post picture of the faces in the "book".

Not happy with what I am wearing
Have you ever arrived at work and notice you don't look good in what you chose to wear that morning? Humphhh...
I think the solution to this problem is to have slimmer thighs and smaller butt. Arghhhh...

Rested?
Was finally able to sleep longer hours, even took a nap just now, but still don't feel that recharged. Perhaps it's age, I used to be able to "recover" faster from working late, long hours when I was younger.
It has been a really busy week, long hours, lack of sleep... I was so longing for a break but now that it's over, I wish I am busy all the time because I'm worry that I might feel insecure or a bit lost when there's nothing to do at work. Such contradiction. Anyways, I don't think there's ever going to be time when I've got nothing to do in this job actually.
Two of my colleagues had left the company, their last day was last Friday. I've also heard that another colleague of mine in the branch office just tendered his resignation as well. I wonder if all of them have better offer, or just cannot take the pressure and "abuse". I know one of them resigned because he's not happy with how he's being treated. I'm also very tired, not because of work matter but because of the energy required for dealing with certain people. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I like the job a lot and I think it's a really good learning field for me.
What I need now is to have some long, good chat sessions with my dear friends. I feel that I've not been in touch with the "world" during the pass few weeks. Went to shopping with MC yesterday and today, she's leaving for Japan for a week tomorrow, humphh... will miss her again.
We were at Mid Valley Mega Mall on Saturday (after BB at LM with Hobbes), had lunch at little Penang. Delicious. I had prawn meehoon, but love the chilli that comes with the curry laksa. Went to Coffee Bean at Garden because we thought we had too much of Starbucks. Big mistake. Coffee Bean was bad, or was it only that particular outlet - the ice latte we ordered was "diluted"; the carrot cake, used to be my favorite, was hard and tasted funny. It was really unbearable till I actually rejected it and went to have it exchanged. I actually asked the staff whether the cakes were fresh. Without actually answering me, he offered for a replacement. I chose the blueberry mousse cheesecake, which I'd tried before and thought it's quite nice. Just when I thought that it couldn't go wrong... it tasted stale and, well, not fresh. Humphh... Must ask MB if the ones sold at KLCC are still of their usual high standard or not, or could it be the overall standard drop?
At night, we watched Nim's Island last night, it was okay, not that exciting, and I thought the story line was quite lame, not much substance. But I enjoyed the outing with MC and BIL. Needed to relax and take my mind off work.
Today, we went to Jusco at Klang, very huge with some unique boutiques which I thought I could put them on my regular purchase point. Bought a little jacket and a dress - which I will be wearing with a long pants. Fashion change still on-going for me, but I seriously need some extra funding. Still waiting to see if I will be getting my salary increment, which is supposed to be in April. I think. I hope.
Wanted to load the "lamb" birthday cake, but either the camera was not function well, or there was some connection error. So, can't post the pictures still. Maybe next few days.

Just testing...
Huh! Just testing to see if there's any readers for my blog, so now I know at least got 3 lah (judging by the response of my last post).
I'm so tired, still lack of sleep... but having loads of fun!
Went to NTV7 yesterday morning for the breakfast show. Not me on the show lah, accompanying my guests; Today, went to RedFM and "met" WillQ (I think can add to Facebook) and Shaz during the morning show. Also not me on air lah, the guests. Just now, went to the recording of radio ads, unexpectedly at a terrace house. Hmmm... Ooookay. Lets see how the end product sounds later. Stay tuned starting 21st of this month.
Lacking gossips because no gym this week. YES, no gym at all this week except for two occasions when I went to gym to shower.
I've got this accumulating "chocking" effect due to the growing feelings towards someone. Cannot tell him. He MUST NOT know...
Okay. Back again later...

Time out...
Me time out for one more day on blogging.
Have been really busy, waking up really early and sleeping really late (or rather very early in the morning). I'm like a walking zombie today, a walking zombie that limp a bit due to too much walking in high heels.
Till then... have fun and keep clicking in, promise I will post again soon...
