Buddha has it all planned, just keep the faith going! =)

I'm hooked onto the recent Channel 8 drama, "995".
While I was working OT the other day, my sister texted me, "Ou Xuan is angry at you."
haha =P

Now that LG has moved to hostel & mum only come back home as & when she likes, Qiqi & I are the only permanent resident of our house now.
I don't like leaving her alone in the hse just like she tried to stay home whenever I am.

However, the dept is running low on manpower now & I'm still not very stable on the current position I just took over.
So, I needed more time to adapt & adjust.
There are many times I rejected family members' & friends' request for a meetup/dinner/drink after work.
I wish I could be out there with you folks to enjoy & party like before too.
But well...

I believe Buddha heard my wish for this year end & is helping me work towards the goal.
But I hope he has not forgotten on the next but not any less important dream of me wanting to get married next year.
At the rate I'm working OT, how would I have time to get out & know more friends?

And if I'm stuck in office everyday & weekends are left to replenish my energy by catching up on my handsome sleep, how would I be able to get hitched this year & marry next year?
Maybe, I should pick up a course for the weekends.

But, if I get hitched, my gf will prob get mad at me soon for spending more time with my work.
Aiyoh, how!?!

It's okay, keep the faith going & trust that Buddha has it all planned. =D

P/S : I'll be away in Taiwan from 16th - 26th Feb 2012.
The trip was planned last year before we run into a shortage of manpower & before shitty things happened like everywhere.
Anyway, just hope I can have a nice trip.

See you folks! =P

It's time to start afresh...

It decided to went on a retreat before I leave for my Taiwan trip.
Ironically, it's a Taiwan phone...
  
When I first went to the M1 store in Jun'2011, I was all set out to just get an iPhone 4.
I brought 2 friends along with me who were non iPhone supporters.
(I'm not blaming you folks, coz every1 has a choice & I'd make my own. You didn't put me at gun point.)
The sales personnel there recommend a few other phones too.

Samsung was my first choice but it was out of stock and have to wait for 2 months.
But my hp back then was about to die any moment, so my next option was HTC Sensation.
Within 1 mth, the rubber insulator for the USB cable starts to crack.
Had wanted to go for a 1-to-1 exchange, but didn't know where the service centre was.
Since it was still sort of usable, I didn't bother to find out either.

After using the hp for 6mths, it started to act cranky.
It always restart on its own & has become more frequent recently; at least once a week.
Sometimes, even afew times each day! -_-"

On 2 occasions, the battery went totally flat & the hp was switched off when I have fully charge it the night before.
That caused me to be late for my appt the next day.
I'm lucky that it was a non-working day for both days.
I got scared & bought an alarm clock from Qiqi.
(Paid $0.50 cos superstitious mah, Chinese cannot give clock - 送钟(终) to people.)

Finally, I couldn't take it anymore & decided to bring it to the service centre before the 1yr warranty is up.
Coz the cable couldn't make it either, always need to position it at a strategic position before the electricity can flow.

Now, I'm back to using a Nokia6500, the type of basic hp with no whatsapp, no FB, no fanciful images, no large touch screen, etc.
You can only call or sms me should you need to contact me.
At the same time, do tell me who you are.
I've forgotten to save the contacts & my sim card has 0 contact.

Well, to look on the bright side, I've been procrastinating for the longest to switch service provider & change a new no.
At least, now I've lost contact numbers which I didn't bear to delete for a long time...
Maybe my number has long been deleted from their phonebooks, so now, it's time for me to lose theirs too. . .

Perhaps, I should call up M1 and ask for vouchers to get new hp. . . ^_^

Track your progress!

When I was comparing the improvements month against month, I wasn't very pleased or motivated.
However, when I click on the graph page, I think it's quite an achievement. =P

For the period 20/03/10 - 20/10/2011, (I've missed taking in Nov & Dec 2011), it was a total of 7.5% fat lost & 3.6% muscle mass gained for me.

That was before I started Mike Chang's program.
ARGH! -_-"
I started his program in Oct'11 & I actually forgot to take my measurements for 2 mths after that!
Who's Mike Chang?
Well, he's a personal trainer whom I accidentally saw his video on YOUtube & find them really useful for fats burning & muscle gaining!
Then I got hooked on working out & motivated in becoming fit like him!
Check out his Facebook page here!

Alternately, you may want to try out his videos by searching for Mike Chang's Six Pack Shortcuts in YOUtube.
He has uploaded quite a number of useful workouts. =)

My top fave recommendation is still M100 by his co-trainer, Dan.
Work it out right here!

The guy with the eagle tattoo...

For those who have not heard; yes, I went to do my first tattoo. =)
I did a temporary one when I went Melacca for my company's annual outing as I've wanted to know roughly how it would look like.
Well, I think that it looks pretty nice so I finally decided to go do a real one.

Tadah!
The first day I went back to BP in preparation for the long CNY holidays ahead, I visited the local tattooist my cousin & cousin in law goes to.

The real one - I feel that it looks AWESOMELY GREAT! =D

Most folks around me are not happy or seem agreeable to it.
But, it's my life, my arm, you think I bother how you feel?

I am rebellious, it's a fact I do not deny.
I am stubborn & that's my unofficial middle name.

Some said I did it because of her.
I'm telling you the truth now.
Yes, but not 100%. The most 10%!

I've been wanting to get one since a long time back.
I tell you, getting a tattoo is painful coz my endurance for pain is not very high.
So, receiving all these pain simply to spite her is totally not worth a single bit.
But to satisfy my own "can't find the right word", the pain was no big deal. =P

The outcome, "Fave animal at the right spot with the perfect size!"
What more can I say except, "Mission accomplished! PERFECT!"
No more second one though. haha *lol*
Overdoing anything is bad.

Oh, and on a side note...
I usually hate to explain to others or clarify misunderstandings, but I need to fight for justice.
Some of you have heard from her, "Ivan pushed me, that's why I scolded them unfilial."
The fact was, while I was merely trying to prevent a mad woman from opening the door for an evil scumbag who would bring possible harm to my sisters, I protected my family by pushing her away from the door.

And if you asked how pain tattoo-ing was; it could have been very painful.
However, as I've just been "stabbed/killed" 2 weeks back before my tattoo session, the pain was nth at all.
I've been through the worst.

Last but not least, after all these drama, I was glad that all along, I told everyone including her, "In this life, the woman I love most is my grandma."
