Will be heading to Phuket this Saturday and will be taking part in the Marathon there on Sunday. The race will not be an easy one as marked with numerous elevation changes along the way. At this moment, I felt that I had not been preparing for this run despite of all the efforts that I had put in these few months. I had taken up twice weekly personal training aiming to improve my performance for this marathon. With the increased workout intensity, somehow my body had caught up with me these 2 weeks. I felt so tired and believe that my performance had dip drastically. Body recovery had come to a stand still. Need to review my current regime as soon as possible. But for now, I will take a break, carbo load and enjoy myself for the trip ahead.

No matter what, I will get my fat ass to that finishing line.

Last Friday, it was a day of farewells. Started with my office part time helper, his work had been terminated as the contract which he was employed under had started to scale down. In a way, I think it is pretty fateful that I ended up sitting next to him at work. He was my junior from Jurong Junior College and NTU which he will be starting school in 2 months time. Guess in my generation terms, he will be classified as a nerd in all aspects. But there are stuffs about him that is commendable; he is truthful and hard working. Anyway share some of my out dated tips about surviving in the university and even attempt to change his attitude towards life. Hope he will be able to do well especially socially in the university.

On my way to gym after work, I met one fellow colleague whom is working at the HR. Even though that we did not know which others’ name but there was this incident where I was waiting for transport and she was doing some mails distribution at the same place. I remember that unhappy look as she went on doing her chores. We chatted a little and she shared her issues with her current colleagues. It seems then that she is really unhappy and did try to do her best at work.

She informed me it was her last day at work and will be going to have a short break before starting work next month. On the way to town, manage to share some personal beliefs.

When doing any thing, the only person that you need to convince is oneself. Then in this way, other’s opinion does not matter and thus life will be much simpler. Also in most cases, there is no one formula that can please everyone. So why bother in the first place.

In order to be loved by others, one has to love oneself first and treat oneself well. It is perfectly fine to give own self a treat once in a while.

By the time I got off the train, I felt pretty grand sharing my thoughts. Although I hate farewells but it made my day then. Thanks guys for making a difference to my day. I sincerely wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
