life in the kiasu lane.

I’m starting to like what I’m doing.

For almost a week, I’ve been undergoing training on how to develop business strategically. I know; totally unrelated to what I’m studying right. Oh well, to earn some living skills doesn’t harm right? I should learn the hard way to earn since I spend so much in the easy way. Heh.

It was quite tough for me initially. Mostly due to my (incredibly) YOUNG age leading to the difficulty to fit in. And majority of the time, the place is only filled with men and men. Not to mention, not-so-young men. Middle age or more. Plus, my mentor wasn’t really a friendly/smiley person.

Thank god my kiasu spirit got me sprinted. I googled every little single detail to prevent myself from looking like a loser. HEY! It’s crucial okay! You know how much people  despise me as I’m young and would not have taken this matter seriously- they too then don’t take me seriously. -.- I even had one mister and one lady whom commented on being too young and spending too much on business. (literally thinking that my investment was a risk)

Ageism and sexism.

Pfft.

Got down to work nevertheless, and things became better as I make friends with the uncles. They are really motivating, helpful and also hamsap (abit lah). Life is so much much easier having someone even to only say ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ and they would smile to you.. FRIENDS are extremely INNATE element of life. Very.

Off to work again. And I’m gonna nail this right in your face mister and lady! HAH!

differently same.

i have no idea why but it happens to me all the time.

why do you give a damn when the opposite doesn’t give a shit?

i’m not emotional, pretty much carefree and carry more than half ounce of patience. that’s because i sorta practice the ‘don’t know don’t care’ concept . irresponsible eh? i know you get what i mean.. you know, it’s like non of your business; why bother?

these days, i’ve become a little bit more conscious about life. take yesterday for example, when my brother and dad was turning a discussion into an argument. I could hear the amplified volume of their voices competing all the way up to my room from below. i would normally interfere because i feel the necessity to stand up my point. to my strange amazement, i remained my butt glued to my desk chair instead getting involved with their business. no idea how i made the decision to not interfere, perhaps a lil bored with their arguments already or maybe feeling lethargic.

Doing so, I was out of the picture of their arguments and boy, it wasn’t that bad after all. The thing is not that you’re feeling helpless, but you are actually able to view the whole situation from different perspective. a third party, unbiased point of view. Good idea, indeed. Learning not to care/getting involve HELPS a lot because in the end apologies were made and egoism extinguished aside.

In a nutshell, I’ve learn that different people may have different way of dealing/handling situations. No matter in what manner- harsh of soft, as long as the intention is positive, let’s not interfere. Because the intention is apparently the objective. Yes, side effect (stress/heartaches/etc) may take place, but once the intention cum objective is achieved, everything becomes worthwhile.

isn’t it?

outstanding

i am brought up lucky enough.

colon hydrotherapy

terrified by the title? It’s a sign you know. I’ll tell you why.

Recently, I’ve been quite engrossed into the romance comedy of Giuliana and Bill that i watch them on E! every morning at half past nine. WITHOUT FAIL. I love the sarcasm and the ironic. Oh, and you know Bill is the first apprentice from Donald Trump’s The Apprentice Show. Tremendous blend isn’t it? Giuliana is somehow KIASU in some sense and that she and Bill had a bet in one the episode. Giuliana would be up for a total detoxification while Bill would have fun with his boys in Las Vegas. Oh well, Giuliana lost when she gave up the colon hydrotherapy.

colon hydrotherapy. interestingggg.

and then i was flipping through The Star this morning and the first page of Star Special featured about colon hydrotherapy. AGAIN. hmm, it’s pretty much like a sign. It flashed me back to my beloved late waipoh (grandma) whom suffered from colon cancer. It was a disastrous process; not only physical strength you need but also the mental strength to be strong enough not to give up the process. I adore waipoh. She’s one strong woman I deeply love till my soul disperse.

Oh yes, back to the topic. It got me interested when i read on.. it says “colon hydrotherapy improves skin conditions, improved posture, abdomen deflating, less fatigue…etc.. ” woot! According to the paper, it’s not a painful process generally. Well i think it’s healthy because look at the lifestyle we lead now a days- smoggy air, junkies, late sleeps, no exercise, improper diet, etc etc.  I’ll try to get my mum into this with me. After all, its harmless. 

precious.

keeping a friendship half a decade long is a beautiful strength. seriously, how many people walked into your life and would actually stay in there and listen to you each time you were at bottom rock as well as smile with you when you feel at the top of the world? but then again, what have you done to keep them close to your heart through the miles apart? (oh it rhymes!)

i know it’s not easy to find someone as precious as friends out there in the pool of faces. not to mention true friends. and seizing the opportunity that i am having my sem break right now let’s not let quality time slip by.

so i went over to michie’s wooooooooonderful condo. i love! <33333 it has everything you need; gym, sauna, pool, theater, dancing studio, but no men. :p

great catch up with her, we did lotsa lotsa naughty (whoops, i meant) interesting stuff. she’s still the same ol’ michelle whom tells me my hair smells good and bear hugs me every now and then, but waaaaaay more cheerful already. yayy! a toast for you sweetie. (:

we did saunnnnna todayyyyy. trust me, IT FEEEEEEELS SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD. i felt thinner after the ‘detoxification’. lol. okay, that  sound a lil ridiculous. nyahahha. but really never felt this good ever since… pre-spm. whats best was the company of your girlfriend in that whole spacious sauna room talking about everything in the world! confined in the wooden partitions and the warm sweltering air shut us out from every single worries in the world right michie?

i am so coming back for timeless session like that with you again. hear it. ♥
