I Loathe You, Factory Robot!

Everyone is trying to do their job, I get it. But to do what this person does is just loathsome. Instead of finding ways and organise more training to improve the staff skill and knowledge, she rather spends her energy and efforts on snapping plate numbers. When you are even one minute late be sure that she'll be at the guard post to take pictures of your car plate number, without even looking at you. I feel ashamed to call her a fellow human being. She should go back to kindergarten and be debriefed! Sick woman! Today I was late because we had a flat tyre. I was ready to SNAP her picture if she made fuss. I was ready to tell her why...so that I could show to the CEO how her good donkey is doing a swell of a job. Alas, she wasn't at the post when I arrived. She has a meeting in KL. I was so ready!!!

Right on Target

Alhamdulillah. I have lost another 2kg. I am very determined to lose another 2kg this month. May Allah give me the will power and strength to do this. Amin.

Trying Out

I am trying out some desperate measures. I am limiting my daily caloric intake, starting today, to 1600 down 100 from before. I will be going into my third month tomorrow and I hope I will see some big changes by Jan 9, 2013. As it is I can see some NSVs, some of my clothes feel loose and I can definitely see a better shape on my butt. May He give me the strength and determination to do this. Amin.

Weigh In Jitters

I am two days away from weigh in day. I've had some shitty days this month and I tried very hard to keep my emotional eating in check. Some days I succeeded some days I just let it be. In the burning calories aka exercise department, so far so good, which means I follow the routine I've set myself pretty closely. May Allah give me the determination and strength to win this battle.

WIEF Headache

21 of our students are selected to be the Liaison Officers and volunteers for the prestigious WIEF event which will start next week. We (the lecturers) were assigned to prep the students up before the interview, held a few weeks ago and out of 35 candidates 21 were chosen. It is an achievement for the students given the world class status of the event. We've been missing classes and presentations because of it and now the headache is how to replace that classes and when to reschedule the presentations since final exam is just three weeks away. On top of that, we still have to 'jengok-jengok' the students whilst the event is running. Where got time!! For me, I have enormous faith on the students, I try not to think negatively of them (that they might back out halfway, have nervous breakdown etc) but others, it seems do not agree with this think positive thing. I feel like giving them my biggest, strongest slap that I can muster. Alas, I'm just a newbie. They know better. Yes, of course. Here's my middle finger for your perusal.

I Did It!

After much deliberation (more like procrastination) I've finally sent the application for further studies today. I hope I'll get accepted. I need to move on professionally. I can't be stuck at the same level as I started about four years ago. I've learnt my lessons. If you let it, complacency will set in and when it does, you'll be scared out of your mind to venture into something new. So, yes, today I finally did it. May Allah bless this effort. Amin.

It's Time!

I've been putting this off for a long time. It was supposed to be earlier last year, then I put it off to early this year, then end of the year. Now that I am here, I'm running out of excuses to hold it off any longer. I'm going to send my application tomorrow. The due date is next Friday. I hope I'll be accepted to further my master at UTM. It's high time. I need to move on and I have to move on. May Allah bless this journey. Amin.

So long for now...

I've been craving for a glass of teh tarik since last Sunday. After dinner I planned to have supper at the mamak stall across the road. Luckily, I got lazy. Yesterday, after work we stopped at the said mamak stall, because my other half wanted to have one. I didn't order mine because I remembered someone said that it's better to eat your calories than to drink it. So I resisted. So I felt good. So, so long teh tarik, for now.

They Do It Everywhere

People are making changes in their lives every minute of every day. Big or small, change is inevitable. To some change is a dirty word, one that is capable to conjure so many unwanted and oftentimes baseless fears. I'll be the first one to admit that I am afraid of changes too. My life is by no means great, it has its moments of ups and downs, mostly downs but to change, to move forward is something that is not easy to do for me. But I know I have to start somewhere and changing I feel about my body and taking control of what I eat is a good place to start, I think. Reading the success stories on how ordinary people like you and me transform their bodies and their lives makes me more determined to transform mine. And succeeding this, I hope I will have the courage to go for bigger feats. Once again I would like to share a wonderful transformation story from Myfitnesspal. From 405 pounds girl to a 173 pounds confident girl. This is bethygirlie. May Allah grant me the strength and will power to lose this weight. Amin.

Feeling Helpless

The Israeli militants are at it again. They are attacking the defenseless Palestinians on the Gaza Strip as an act of 'self defence'. Self defence my ass. I feel so helpless. Those pictures of children killed by the Jews. I can only make du'a for them. May Allah protect the Palestinians, give them extraordinary valor to face this great test. May Allah instill unspeakable fears in the hearts of the militants who are attacking them, incapacitating them and eventually stopping them from launching more attacks. Amin.
