Two months nearly passed..29th is an extra day

Tomorrow, we are going into extra time...the 29th ! once in 4 years ! in the leap year. I have a friend whose birthday falls on 29th Feb...so she only celebrates once in four year (sigh...lost her contact...so can only pray for her happiness)..:)

In fact, I have been sharing with few friends that tomorrow is a day for our towkay as we have to work extra day for free and they earn 1 day extra productivity (or liabilities..hehehe). So, how am I going to spend this extra time ? Hmm...I guess nothing extra extra special...

In fact now, I keep reminding myself that I must appreciate everyday and give everyday a special feeling to live a fruitful happy life ahead...(not that I am negative or neglecting but I just felt that I need to add more wonderful values as other pressing responsibilities piling up).

Tomorrow is month end again...suck dry two pieces of lemon first (sour..arrgh)...then go all out to close the month with a respectable results. Then, have a great dinner with my family. Hmm..may be drunk myself in the RAIN.

How about you ?

Lemon Cleanse and Day 1

• I was in Sibu on Tuesday on a business trip and this round, I was introduced to a lemon cleansing programme by a client of mine at the local coffee shop just before we visited her office for business discussion.
• Apparently according to her, she has been on the lemon diet for a long time and it has done many wonder to her. Her recipe is simple, just squeeze two lemon and drink all the juices from it without any mixture of water in the early morning before any foods. She will only take drinks or foods after an hour later.
• She testified that this recipe has given her healthy self and flushing toxins from her body beside keeping fat intact.
• Well, this sounds interesting to me especially after two weeks of heavy feasting. I have just bought 12 pieces of local lemon from Ta Kiong, The Spring this evening and had just suck 2 pieces into my stomach just to get early start of the cleansing programme. After 30 minutes as I am typing this blog,...I do felt some heat in my stomach...is it the cleansing process ? Hopeful so...:)
• Not convinced enough (ya...I can understand), I have searched up in the Google for the lemon's effect...so far, all articles are referring it as a cleansing, detoxification agent/fruit. Wala...the road to cleansing....discarding all the toxins out from my body.
• Today is day 1, let's see how far this can go... I have recorded my weight and waistline just in case I need them for official testimony and promotion later...hehehe..
• BTW, she is a gorgeous business lady (won a beauty contest before)...that is why I am very attentive to her testimony...

St.Valentine's Day

Traditionally, a special day for lovers...and a day when rose is the most expensive of all other days in the year though chocolate and the rest are still within the range. For me, I would like to spend this day with all my loved ones. Though we must always stay as loving as Valentine's day, we must also keep this day a extra special where we will spend more to enjoy. However, it is true that we must always live everyday to the fullest, give love without limitation to our loved ones and put our best interest to our life. Then, each day of our life will become more meanningful.

Dear Friends, Happy St. Valentine's Day...do say I love you as many times as possible beside other loving actions. (BTW, I on leave today to spend lovely time with my wife and children.)

Happy days are here oledi...

Happy Days are here oledi....and are here to stay.
Wishing all my friends, readers and everybody a Happy and Blessed Lunar year...and this year is the Year of Rat !

Ngaew Chu, Lo Chu, Lau Shu...all in different dialects that I know of....

This is a start of the the Chinese zodiac of 12 animals. A new beginning to everything...so it is good that we all shall start this year with renewed determination to make a better experiences in life.

Management Agony

For the past 3 weeks or so, I have been ever hectic with a long of things going through my mind. Being alone in thinking especially on certain P & C issues (secrets) is really an agony to my mind and body.

May be, this is probably due to long holiday coming along as I wish to clear many of my tasks in hand or probably due to lack of management skill in doing balancing acts.

Speaking about this, many can quote a lot of example of management theories which at times, I felt disgusting to hear it as when we approach on real scenario, the situation really sucks. However, deep inside...I think there is some validity to it. A yes no yes no situation is a real step to pure management.

That is why I always keep reading a lot of management books to provide alternative thinking or else I would just give up !

In summary, one must keep positive in all his/her approach, after all, we shall be able to manage the whole situation so long we are positive about it.

Sincerely, I felt pains on my left wing and even my masseur told me that I have overstressed muscle over that area...this could definitely due to stress. Friends said may be due to my sleeping positions.

Exercise is a must now...and I pledged to triple up my exercise time from now onwards and in fact I have a pair of new Reebok sport shoe in my recent trip to KL to psyche myself up to run extra miles.

Hah...I have a break tomorrow and Sunday, a time to burn the extra kilos...:)

FAT ?

I believe nobody like to be overweight, oversize or simply large and fat. However, one just could stand to the temptation of being comfortable, enjoying favourite foods especially the oily or fried foods.

The photos that I pasted as follow would describe your immediate preference if you do have a choice ?

a)


b)

(This is not a sexy topic..okay)

I believe all will choose the photo b) as I myself would love to have it or merely "watching" it. Then, why there still many overweight (sadly me included) out there ? I don't know and again blame it to the indiscipline in maintaining good diet and temptation created by the skinny people ??? (well well well, it is our own choice and indeed we have a choice)

We are what we eat ! I choose my eating pattern, type and etc and nobody will actually be able to gun point on what I want to eat though few times, my bosses use soft tactics to press me to eat more as they always say...young man have the capacity and can eat more...(but I do listen to pretty gals :) ).

Now, with "Ah Mo Ni 2008" already into 29 days...I have not really started my diet regime...again my diet plan crashed ! ...Nevermind, "ngeaw choo ni" is just around the corner...let's get started...

Before reboot...let's go down to my weight memory lane...
a) Before going to KL in 1990, my weight was about 100kg...after 12 months, it dropped to 86 kg and maintained for about 5 years.
b) By the time I was back in Kuching in 1997, my weight was 92 kg and then there is no stopping in the next 8 years when it reached the peak at 123kg.
c) It came to my senses in end of 2004, I started the nutritious breakfast cutting out rice/carbo and go for more fruits...I have managed to cut a whoppy 18 kg within 3 months and maintained for nearly 2 years...
d) Then in Oct 2006, I was seconded to KL for 6 months...my weight gradually increase as still on and off I take nutrituous breakfast menu...however my weight still go up to 110kg due to a lot of drinking sessions to please...
e) Last 8 months after coming back from KL, I have kampua/kolok/laksa almost every other day (no wonder lah..) my weight definitely goes up as expected by another 4 kg and now is 113kg (the last I weight in was on first week of January...may be now is 115...;\)

Enough is enough...no more self accomodation...I have set my target to achieve a healthy weight at 100 kg by 30 April 2008 2008(BTW, for my height at 6 foot, my ideal weight for my height is 72 kg ...hehehe...how to achieve this fairy weight, another 30% reduction...huh ?).

What do you think ? Is this realistic ? (on my first approach on 100 kg and not the 72 kg,..of course)) Any advice ? Anyone want to challenge ?

The write up arrangement is as such to confuse readers..hehehe..

A Nice Cosy Home

Many including myself always look forward to a nice warm and cosy home especially after a hard labour at office during the day. A house is probably the biggest asset one could invest apart from himself or herself, therefore many would want to have it in the most perfect look that one could wish.

Recently I have been to one show house and I am very impressed with its interior design and how I wish I could have the same or similar cosy environment (plus the maintenance of the environment at all times). At that moment of time..as God fearing person, I was reminded by one sharing of my sisters as she mentioned that

"we would always want the best for our earthly home to be...and we are willing to work very hard to earn the money to pay the best we could and throughout our life, we will be bearing it. But then again, as Christian, are we not curious and wishing for the best home in heaven. How much have we invested to ensure we are there ? or have we started ?"

*****

A house is an asset and it is not a home. A home is a house. A home is more than just asset as it will fulfill our life.


*****

There are many homeless people in this planet due to many reasons. Be grateful what we have...a house to our home...

Just be grateful what we have and appreciate to the last drop of our tears..

Chinese New Year is just another 10 days...I have not decorated my house as yet...as I am busy with my company's budget and business planning for the last two weeks. This weekend, I need to put up the decoratives as my wife has started to remind me...hey...reminding is a serious matter and must be duly taken care.
