So lazy

I'm suppose to be doing one of the following today:

1. Study. ( I have 2 projects, one of which is at current status of 0% completion and a deadline less than a month away.)
2. Go gym to work out ( It has been a week since the last time i set foot in the gym)
3. Prepare for my interview tomorrow.

But guess wat, i slept more than 1/2 the day away and when i thought i would head for the gym after that I decided that since my friend is not going, then i won't go as well.

The passion to gym seems to be starting to die out. Nowadays, it takes an enormous amount of effort for me to do any weight training and i have become highly dependent on the combat and body pump classes to keep me going. This is not gonna be good, i can forsee myself standing infront of the mirror one day and wanting to kick myself for all the laziness.

Even after i concluded that i am not heading for the gym, i am merely filpping papers and chatting over msn.. that is so super unproductive and considering that i only have 1 day free everyweek these days, guess i should treasure it more... maybe that is why i am so bent on squandering it away doing nothing rather than working my butt off like what has been happening everyday of the week. Oh well.... wish me luck for the interview tomorrow and hopefully i will get down to preparing for it soon.

It's all about people.

At this stage of my life, i have come to realise that life is nothing more than about the people around you. Unless you are a hermit dewelling in a cave and deeply ebbed in meditation with the ultimate aim of reaching Maha Prina Nrivana, else you cannot help but depend and interact with the people around you.

Whether its about getting that position you desire, the job/promotion that you have been aiming for, to stay or move on, or even if you can linch that deal that you have invested so much energy and effort, whether your other half decides to spend the rest of his/her life by your side.... its all about whether the other party believes and trusts in your ability or if he/she appreciates your effort and whether there is some magical chemistry between 2 or more people. I have seen small cases erupt to problems of epic proportions just because 2 or more people decide that neither wants to give way and conversely seen big problems reduced till its totally insignificant because the group allows space for negotiation and talks and they are focused on solving the problem... not pushing the blame.

2 years of working life has taught me that screaming the loudest does not necessary mean you will get your way ( which is contrary to what a CIO of a big bank once told the group of us who was in her lecture). You will be surprised at how subtle requests get done faster than loud demands. Sometimes in life, we gotta be flexible, give a little, take a little and when you go the extra mile for someone who appreciates it, you will be surprised that the extra miles can take you a long long way . On the contrary, when you choose to do things your way and your way ONLY, you shut yourself out of a whole lot of open doors and usually it only makes things more difficult as people are less willing to offer solutions.

Someone once offered me these words of wisdom and today i offer it to my friends and those who are reading my daily nonsensical scribbles...

"People do not run away from companies or Jobs, they run away from BOSSES". How true, it is. :)

Its 2008

I wanna Wish everyone a Happy 2008 and may everyone be happy and healthy in 2008!
2008 Crept in while i was sound asleep last night.

This morning woke up with 12 sms unread, after that i rushed off for a 2 hr bodycombat lesson as usual.. Need to burn some 'stuff' off before i put them back again! haha. Now that everyone are more or less done with their new year resolutions, its my turn now.

1. LOSE WEIGHT ( Perpetually on my resolutions and to do list, but somehow never seems to be done.. so sad :'( ... )

2. Study hard. Damn it! This morning i woke up and read my e-mails and already my prof sent out an e-mail at the end of 2007 about the module and project that we have to do this coming sem and he 'suggests' that we start reading the stuff even b 4 class starts officially. =( Dun think i will do it tho.. :P )

3. Spend more time with family. Think 2007 had been a busy year and i know 2008 can only be busier but somehow i gotta allocate more time for my family, to care and share with them... guess that means 1or 2 body combat classes less for me... =) )

4. Earn more $$$. This is like so important.. i gotta keep working at it. Hehe.

5. Find a Dragonboat team to Join! Woot!!! Hey i will complete school somewhere in Oct/Nov 2008, guess i will have more time during the weekends, so i can pick up my fav sport again! I think i better start to look for a nice team to join.. hehe. Anyone any lobang???? Helloooooooooo.. Sun, Sand and Sea!

Ok, that's about it. Everyone Happy new year again! :)
