Grief

Sorry, too depressed to post anything lately...

Please come back...

It felt like as if you lost a family member who is dear to you. If you ask me, I rather trade all my useless medals & have a shorter life span just to see him again. I made that dog promised me something; Don't 'go' yet until your owner has achieve greatness.

Life has been pretty dull without that mutt

At this point, there's nothing much I could do except to pray that I will hold that stupid dog into my arms again. Though God is silent, though I do not see His hands, though I do not understand His intentions, I still have to trust His heart that Sumo will return one day ~

Still The Best Policy

Been fascinated by Western astrology lately

The half man & half horse

Sagittarians do not believe in deceit & pretension, at least that's what they say. After playing my trade in the fitness industry as well as the working world for almost two months now, I noticed that M'sia has still a long way to go when it comes to earning a profit through honest means.

As a fitness professional, I am to uphold one of the personal trainers code of ethics (according to ACE), which is responsibility to the public. This consists of being truthful & honest when you are talking to your clients. I don't intend of being Mr. Know It All by claiming that I can play both the role of nutritionist, physiotherapist & doctor at the same time just to convince potential clients to train under me!

I really hate it when people tell me that it's okay to 'twist' the truth as long you can close the deal or secure a few sales, "This is M'sia mah, you don't have to be so professional one!" But I am not a typical M'sian mah, for I am a principled man mah. And one of my principles is to be accountable towards my clients mah!

On another note, this was the last meal my Filipino servant prepared for me;


Apple & scramble egg, somehow it's hard to hold back my tears

Not to say I had a close relationship with her, it's just that she had served me wholeheartedly without any complaints throughout these past two years. She could have stayed on longer, if only mum could show a little bit of appreciation towards her rather than shouting at her all the time.

Gave this to her as a memento

Whether if it's a maid, janitor or hard labourer, everyone has their own harga diri. I don't agree that just because one is willing to serve others, doesn't give them the right to take advantage of his/her dignity. I know how it feels like to be shitted upon during my time as a volunteer usher. That is why I gave away one of my medals, so that my servant understood that no deeds should go unrewarded.

The next time someone puts your interest ahead of theirs, at least have the courtesy to say thank you alright?

What If?

Jeng jeng jeng!

17th medal, just 3 more to reach this year's target!

(Updated 12th August) - It's a matter of simple strategy really. Since that so many runners would be going for the Shape & Men's Health Night Run on 31st July, what are my chances of securing a position of top 75 among 3000 people in order to win a finishing medal? Very slim right?

That is why I gambled by opting to go for the KLIUC Unity Run instead during the next day, assuming that not many runners especially experienced ones would be participating in this event. And the picture above is the result of the risk I've taken ~

I shed tears, blood, & sweat just for this moment

Like what Michelle Soh posted on her Facebook Wall, "I love my life now. I want it this way. I love it this way". This year in 2010, God has blessed my life so much in abundance until I couldn't contain the blessings! Indeed, I am happy the way my life is at the moment. But if the best is yet to come, then I say bring it on! (:

I love the house of God (:

What will happen, if let's say I am not a member of City Harvest Church? What if I never get to know who Jesus was? What if I am still a free-thinker today? What if I never get to know awesome people like my cell group members? What will the outcome be, if I am not a Christian in the first place? It's scary to think right that such a simple & yet important decision to follow Christ the Lord could become such a life changing experience!

There won't be anymore competitive runs this August, but there is the...

Organised by my company! ;D

Yeah, it's good that we can achieve something for ourselves. But once in awhile, we should also use our gifts & talents to contribute back to society. And no, you don't have to wait until your earn your first million dollars or that dream job you've been yearning for years. You can start doing something meaningful today!

This time, I am not running for any prizes whatsoever. Instead, I am doing it to raise funds so that patients with kidney conditions will have sufficient medical expenses to undergo the treatment they needed. Not for recognition or glory, but to give these people hope so that they too like me can have a second chance in life. What about you? Do you have compassion for the needy & unfortunate? If the answer is yes, then show it!
