I've found my life charger

I went to NUS on Wednesday. Went to the library to borrow some books.

NUS never fails to rejuvenate me each time I go.

i went into the lib, went in between the shelves, look at the books and a nostalgic feeling came up. Made me think abt the past when i was doing my undergraduate, when i was doing masters.
Shiok!

And then i purposely walked to Soci dept . As i walked along corridor, looking at each prof's name on the door, a thought came to my mind. I LOVE STUDYING!!

I found my life charger and if my battery runs low, I know where to go for power up!!

A bag of old bones

Ysterday went for my first pilates class with Fly. After hearing so many horror stories from Tealeaf, we went into the room with apprehension, especially me! I have nothing, apart from jelly like fats!!!

Anyways, we went into the class and laid our mats on the floor and await for the class to start. The instructress is demanding yet friendly. She is encouraging, correcting porkie's posture every now and then. I was heaving and perspiring profusely even with the air con on.

At last, the class ended.....Porkie's tired BUT she is very high. I think the sudden rush of endorphines are at work.

I am expecting to ache all over the next day ( which is today and boy, even a slight movement is so painful now)....

Porkchop Power!!!

Murphy's Law.....I refuse to believe

Jan mentioned that when you are about to be sucessful, there are bound to be hindrances or obstacles blocking your pathway to sucess.

These few days after my tw trip has not been very smooth. Fly having some problems with her prospects, my (1+5)'s son is down with high fever, my auntie n cousin decline my invitation to be in this biz ......

BUT, I refuse to believe that it is Murphy's law at work!!

1) (1+5) son's sick but he agrees to meeting up next week.
2) Cyn is coming for TCm class
3) Maybe is still keen to explore the biz
4) Fly has more prospects coming down next week

and that means i have a busy week ahead. This week is just planting the seeds, wait for it to germinate over the weekend and flowers will bloom next week!

That is what I call "Mindset change" and "Never say die"

Self discovery trip

Read my last blog entry? Porkie's going tw and she is so looking forward to the sights and food over there.

One week later...Porkie's back from tw and guess what??!! She lost 1 kg. Hey! not much considering I went to a country famous for its street makan!!!

Anyways, my tw trip had been awesome!!! Awesome is still too weak an adjective to describe. I went there feeling confused over where my business is heading towards but came back feeling very charged up and raring to cheong.

The 2D1N course by mummy (hey dun be mistaken, I am not under some social escort thingy!!) brought porkie on a journey of self discovery. My questions were all answered during this course and I found out the real meaning behind my business. It is not about money making, it is about bringing people happiness, benefiting them with a financial vehicle that allows them early retirement. In my platform that I am in, I feel their genuine love and concern. In the course, I overcome my fear of public speaking, shed my inhibitions and find more meaning for my existence. All these were possible because of change in mindset. I found courage to tell A my feelings, tell Brownie how much I appreciated him and tell my bro how much I care about him.

Sounds very profound?

Attend the next tw course with me in Sept 05

Forget me Not

Know the flowers, Forget me Not?

Nice flowers ;-)

According to an Austrian legend, 2 lovers were walking along Danube when the girl saw a small flower floating in the water. The girl, who was always had her ways, wanted the boy to get the flower for her. He dived into the water but was swept away by the current. Using all he can and his last spurt of energy, he reached for the flower and tossed it to his sweetheart, saying,
"Forget me Not!"

Wat are friends for?

1) Playing mahjong
2) Sharing good food
3) Talking nonsense
4) Motivation
5) Catching up
6) Making you feel frustrated and upset (but that is because you care enough for them to feel this way)

Happy that yesterday I was able to chat and catch up with one of my good buddy on the virtual highway. I was thinking hard, trying to recall how long I've known this friend of mine. 4 years...four solid years. Can rem the days we spend walking around AMK central and talking nonsense in the office. I was still studying for my masters that time and she just graduated. Time flies but glad we still keep in contact.

Actually come to think of it, I do not have much friends, unlike Brownie. He always encourages me to go out and meet more pple, know more friends. But seriously I am contented to be with my books, my 3 best frens from the force (Tail, Underground and P zai) and my existing, rather small circle of friends.

"Friends are like the bacon bits in the salad bowl, the toppings on your ice cream." Yummy

Sicky Brownie

Brownie's sick and on MC today.

Porkie's kaypoh and decided to work from home, to accompany Brownie.

Poor brownie....he was running a fever and was very noisy the whole of last night. Sighing, talking to himself, tossing and turning. Porkie, being a very light sleeper, was highly irritated by him and gave him a taste of my "wu ying pig trotter". Very strong and hard kicks. But he is not aware.

Ha ha stupid brownie !!!
