Its true the saying Health is wealth. coz you know why, if you ain't healthy, you would find you would be much poorer. You need $$$ so spend on medication and all that jazz.
Since I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, I am so thankful that I have a job and my company pays for my medical bills. I am into my 3rd dose of medication. Each time the DR can only give me 30 tablets. These are very mild dosage tablets. I have gotten a second opinion who agrees with that.
Yesterday, I went to get my dose of medication and was told that I would need to go for medical test - blood test, ecg, xray, every year!! I asked why. DR explained that its becoz with high BP, it can cause damage to your kidneys, may cause heart attack, etc. AIIII.... i have never been in this sort of state before. I have almost been quite healthy.
I need to make some changes to my life style.
I had try to reduce the BP without medication for 1 year and one bout of sharp pain and terrible migrane, rushed me to the DR and I then decided to start on the medication. I don't think its a bad move on my side but I would really really like to stop depending on medication and maybe go for a more natural way of reducing this.

A Rainy @ home
Today I am off work. Yes, I took a day off just to do nothing. Why? Coz i am tired of working. Tired of looking at idiots all day long. Not just all day long, nite too via conf call.
Little did I know that this new role suck big time. Granted that I no longer need to be on standby but the nite conference are just way MORE.
The weather is so nice. It has been raining the whole day. From the time I woke up , up to now when I am writing this. Its so nice. I love this sort of weather. It really reminds me of Autumn which is my favourite season of the year. Too bad its been too long now since I experience Autumn or Fall as we call it in the states.
I have an extra gadget from work which takes away all my work life balance. Will write about this next time.

Corrinne May - Everything in its time... I love it!
My friend had this posted in her FB profile. I love the lyrics....
Corrinne May - Everything In its time
Sometimes i wonder what lies ahead
How long til my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
so many people on this merry-go-round
Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and i try to pray
in the silence i can hear Him say
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
I often feel like that i'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
why i should give up
But i'm stubborn in the things i believe
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign
'cause maybe there's another plan
One i still cant see
A little surprise, like your love in your life
Funny how time changes how we see
The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

Sometimes....
Sometimes, I get too tired. Sometimes, I don't know whats life all about. Sometimes, I wish I can just disappear. Sometimes, I wonder if its all worth it.
Sometimes, I wish for paradise. Sometimes, I wish I have more in life. Sometimes, I feel I am very lucky to be where I am in life, when I see others having less than me. Sometimes, I wish I have found love to last me a life time. Sometimes, I wish my mom would live forever so that I when I grow old alone, I won't be lonely.
Sometimes, I wish and keep wishing.... I know my purpose here on earth...
Sometimes, I wish I can feel this happy like when I look at the picture below...

See Saw Weight
On Thursday before I went to bed, I went to weigh myself. I haven't weighed myself in a while. Kind of gave up since I haven't been to the gym for more than 1 month now. and I am officially on my high BP medication. So i reckon, I just want to hibernate for awhile.
But to my surprise, i saw the no 55. yahooo... i have been struggling to down to 55 kg for a long time..... i was estatic
Then the next morning I woke up and saw i am down to 54.7 hahaha ok what.. at least I c the no 54 there...
I din do anything really... but i noticed somehthng, last whole week I din touch any fast food... hmm....
Lets see if I get back to exercising will my weight go down more or go up.
p/s i realized that i have been speaking manglish too long now.. since I got back from the states, I can't even express myself well verbally no more. And when I had my presentation my leadership team in houston y esterday nite... i sounded like a retarted... my tongue just couldn't talk normally... as they say in BM asyik tersasul.

Tribute to Michael Jackson
As we all know by know, Michael Jackson the king of pop, the man who has inspired the young and the old. The man who was inspiration for all the wanna be celebrities and also the young and old celebrities.
For the last couple of days, the radio station has been playing alot of his songs.. since his passing was announced. I began to realized when these songs were playing. His songs has meaning. Its unlike many of the songs we hear today, its different. The lyrics sounds so meaningful. Its more about life and life's situation rather than love. Unlike they say in malay - lagu2 jiwang. hehe.
I understand now that this man is an incredible person. Eventho' his life hasn't been all that great esp with the all the news we heard and read.
But he is leaving behind a great legacy which I do not think many can emulate.
Like the saying goes, you leave your good name on earth and thats what he is doing. His good beautiful songs will over shadow all the scandals which has plaqued his life.
MJ - Rest in Peace, You will be missed by many..... thank You for all the beautiful years of good songs.

Putting One's Life on Hold
I did that once. Putting my life on hold. And my mind was consistently in a state of confusion. Each time i bought something it made me feel guilty and also worried.
I put my life on hold for 5 years. The 5 years which I couldn't decide whether I will move to another country or not. Thinking back I think I was so foolish. If it was something i really wanted, I would have move in a heart beat but I didn't. I consistently weigh what I should do.
Now I realized, those precious moments are lost forever. Lost opportunities, lost potential partners... I cannot bring back those moments nor can I reclaim the lost times.
But I have now learn to live to my best. If i wanted something, and I know I am able to afford it after thinking whether I need it.. or once a while indulging myself with something expensive, I would. Maybe that's one other thing that has made me look happier. But those are temporary happiness as my priest would say. I have also been trying to save as much as I can. Also in away avoiding assholes that keep putting me down. Little by little... i think I am beginning to live in the moment.
Also I want to live now in the moment and not think about what will happen tomorrow. Who knows maybe I might drop dead tomorrow, or u know... future is so uncertain....
Yes, I do still think about having children, getting married. which I know may never materialize in my life time. But I still have hope.
But I have learnt to not live in the past nor... regret the 5 years which I placed my life on hold.
Not even sure if anyone understood what I just wrote hahaha

Good comments for the Day!
I met an old friend at klcc today. Its been awhile since I last saw her. First thing she said when she saw me was that I look happier. My face has clear of all the tension, stress. I don't know coz i don't know how i looked before.
Throughout our conversation she kept asking what have I done differently. I actually am not sure.I guess I started exercising and probably caring less about work. Making a distinction between time at work and leisure.
I make it a point these days, not to switch on my laptop at home unless I absolutely have to. e.g when I have nite conferences or I have some really pressing things which I need to resolve.
I guess in a way, I can say it took some effort but I still have a long way to go.
Even in my appraisal, I did put a goal as in putting my health first and I guess that did help...
Another point to me.. :)

The Quest to a Healthier Life Style
Not really :D
The quest to reduce my high BP has become my goal in life. In a way, I still struggling to achieve this.
I used to be a sprinter in school. I ran the 100, 200, 4*100 relay. Since I was in Primary school. When I reached form 4-5, I had to stop as my mom said I needed to concentrate on my studies instead and that was the most trying time for in my school years.
After that I never touched running again except for that one 1/2 semester in my sophomore year where I have had to take the stupid cross country class... almost died running hahahaa. Kidding. It was WINTERRRRR what did you expect?
I have been going to the gym at my office since nov/dec 2008. I was going off and on way before that but lack of motivation really didn't help either. You could just imagine the frequency. But I was more regular when the dr told me I had to start exercising or risk getting all the diseases which came with high BP.
I started off really slow, Just walking for 30 min and then on the cross trainer for another 30 min. As of Last month, I had tried to add some running. But i noticed I couldn't go beyond 10 mins running straight at the speed of 60-70 depending on which threadmill I am using. Yeah some of them are like broken.. sorta. My goal is to at least raise it up above 10 min. So far no luck yet. But I want to. I do that I m able to endure this and perservere and increase it bit by bit.
Wish me Luck and loads of motivation

FaceBook Versus Blogging
Obviously I started with blogging first before Facebook. Coz during that time, FB wasn't the fab or the in-thing yet.
When I first got on to facebook, I actually stopped blogging. Or rather I already stopped blogging for awhile. I frequently updated the status bit.... then when the number of friends started to increase esp those from work, I decided to be more reserved.
Of late, I got back into blogging coz found that its still a best way for me to express what I feel.
There was also an element that contributed to this all and its because someone commented on my status update lately. I don't know why some people just like to make them look like they are more superior than others and then make comments such like i know its your life but....
Whatever it was, I am not going to repeat it and I also did not reply to her email.
Anyways... i have decided that... since FB is so now open and I have people working with me as part of the friends list albeit under the limited profile list , its still much safer blogging like here anonymously.
continue to find out more about my life rather than FB.

My Early Birthday Pressie
This month, I celebrate my birthday. And each year I dread this day. As my purchasing power increases over the years, I am tempted to buy me some pressie. I seldom do that. But this year I decided to get myself something for my birthday. I believe its well deserved since right now my BP is at its highest level,my boss is at her bitchiest level.... and work is just bleeepppp...
So to myself happy, I focus on the day i get my SAL and since I noticed of late I have some to spare, I decided to buy myself some early pressie. :D
Tah DAH!!!! Coach and Radley... pix not so clear... please click on pix to enhance.. just incase you don't believe me...
hmmm.. the leather smell so good. I bought this online from someone who is located in the states. Yeah... around RM250... Can't get that price here in KL.
Closer shot... COACH.... Leather smells so nice... the leather is so supple... so nice so nice...
Radley purse in lilac. Its a small one but good enough to put my cards in there and coins... Smells wonderful too ( if you visited my other more public blog you would have seen this too) I am now looking for the same shade of lilac hand bag.. .anyone seen one???
Well it lifted my spirit for awhile... esp when i take a whif of the smell of leather.... but just long will it last tho' the feeling of high in spirit.....
Things hasn't been going well.. but I am trying my best to cope... I can't face the Biatch who is unfortunately of the same faith as me.... I raise her up everytime i pray to God.... I hope things will change.... But mom says.... it has nothing to do with her faith.. its just the person... yeah i sure hope so... if not i can say bye bye to my faith also....

Cravings....
Once in awhile i get cravings... mostly its about food.
Couple of months ago, I kept having cravings for asam laksa and tomyam. I wonder what was wrong with me. Since I live alone during weekdays sometimes, I don't feel like going out after reaching home. But with these cravings sometimes I just give in. hehehe
LAst weekend, I had cravings to eat char kuey teow. For the whole bloody week, I was thinking and thinking about it. When I reached home on sat, I asked my sister to go tah pow for me, this really nice char kuey teow @ melawis... one of the famous char kuey teow in Klang.... But after dinner... suddenly I felt my stomach so bloated and I think I was having my usual indigestion. Mind you, I don't eat alot but I have problem with my digestive system. Then I told her... scrap the idea of eating that nite for supper coz i didn't want to go to bed sufferring a indigestion.
And lo' and behold, my uncle bought 5 packets of that char kuey teow I was craving for today.... for tea!!! YUMMY to the max... deliciouso...
I wonder is the next craving.... in line... :D

Sometimes I just Feel....
There are days where I feel like just giving up on life. Thinking to myself why are there so many ass-hole out there. People who are so self-centered, its just always about them. About them... Selfish tweets. I cannot believe they don't give two hoots about others. Maybe that's what the world is becoming really.
Look around you. Be it politics or work politics.. or church politics ( yeah its there too believe me you!).
Sometimes I just want to leave all these behind.. be a recluse or hermit.. hide under my shell.. forget about the world outside.
Its too tiring to want to cope ... or even to ensure your head is above the water....
on another note, not doing too well on the exercise.. This week only went on monday. Also I have been having these headaches... i wonder if its becoz of my high BP. Maybe its time to just suck it in and say.. i will take the medication.
Anyways... babbling away when i don't even know if anyone is reading this besides me hahahahaha

High BP and Medical Report
I have been struggling with High BP since about Oct last year. This came to light when I actually went to our company's health week and had my BP, BMI, blablab checked. the reading was atrociously high!!!!!! Until my friend who is a dr told me, it almost impossible to get such high reading and that bloody nurse said "sikit tinggit" (translated as abit high).
I have been struggling since then, different drs telling me different things. Some wanted to put me on medication while some wanted me to exercise, monitor and see what's the cause.
I went to a panel to get second opinion, and I got the lady dr. The drs that are here - husband and wife. Lady dr said want to monitor me, come back for 3 months and then see how.
Went back the next month, got the guy dr. Guy dr more aggresive in measures. Wants me to go for full medical and see the results. If its not any other health problem, eg. kidney problem, etc. After medical results, go on medication for high BP.
After CNY ( i didn't want to do it before CNY, I wanted to makan sampai puas), I made appointment was told that they would give me the lady dr. Better for medical. Okie.. dokie.
Did the medical last week. They took my ECG - 4 TIMESSSSS i almost died. I tot something was wrong. But turn out the tracing wasn't nice and the nurse said probably i moved my head. EXCUESE me, my feet was freezing to death. And she was taking her own sweet time.
GOOD NEWS tho' my medical results is clear with the exception of.... negative for hep b vaccine. Weird coz i had it done like 5 year or more ago. And the dr said its normal that after 5 years, it might be gone. whatever ....
So today I had 2 jabs... one for hep b and one for hpv - cervical center prevention jab. Pain ahhhh.. each arm had a jab each. The one for the hpv hurts more and it has this sore feeling. 2 more jabs each to go....
also.. i need to consistently exercise. Maybe increase to 3 times. :D
This week only made it 1 time, used the apt's gym.
Been too stress.....
And the lady dr, doesn't think i need medication hehehee.. so pray for me hor. she also thought me to meditate. When she said that i said errr.. i am christian, i don't think i should be meditating. then she said... no meditate on the word of God. :D she asked me to read psalm 121. And even quoted the line... told me, God doesn't slumber or sleep, so you don't worry. Sleep well. Even if you hate your boss, you can't do much. Raise it up to the Lord. I didn't even say i hate my boss.. hahahahaa. she read my bloody mind.
Anyways.. its all good. I just need to be diligent in exercising and eating my celery. And also to learn to let go and firstly learn to forgive.
Also made a promise... from tomorrow... no more gossping at work about work peeps.. Need to stop. God please whack my head if is forget.
:D
I have been struggling since then, different drs telling me different things. Some wanted to put me on medication while some wanted me to exercise, monitor and see what's the cause.
I went to a panel to get second opinion, and I got the lady dr. The drs that are here - husband and wife. Lady dr said want to monitor me, come back for 3 months and then see how.
Went back the next month, got the guy dr. Guy dr more aggresive in measures. Wants me to go for full medical and see the results. If its not any other health problem, eg. kidney problem, etc. After medical results, go on medication for high BP.
After CNY ( i didn't want to do it before CNY, I wanted to makan sampai puas), I made appointment was told that they would give me the lady dr. Better for medical. Okie.. dokie.
Did the medical last week. They took my ECG - 4 TIMESSSSS i almost died. I tot something was wrong. But turn out the tracing wasn't nice and the nurse said probably i moved my head. EXCUESE me, my feet was freezing to death. And she was taking her own sweet time.
GOOD NEWS tho' my medical results is clear with the exception of.... negative for hep b vaccine. Weird coz i had it done like 5 year or more ago. And the dr said its normal that after 5 years, it might be gone. whatever ....
So today I had 2 jabs... one for hep b and one for hpv - cervical center prevention jab. Pain ahhhh.. each arm had a jab each. The one for the hpv hurts more and it has this sore feeling. 2 more jabs each to go....
also.. i need to consistently exercise. Maybe increase to 3 times. :D
This week only made it 1 time, used the apt's gym.
Been too stress.....
And the lady dr, doesn't think i need medication hehehee.. so pray for me hor. she also thought me to meditate. When she said that i said errr.. i am christian, i don't think i should be meditating. then she said... no meditate on the word of God. :D she asked me to read psalm 121. And even quoted the line... told me, God doesn't slumber or sleep, so you don't worry. Sleep well. Even if you hate your boss, you can't do much. Raise it up to the Lord. I didn't even say i hate my boss.. hahahahaa. she read my bloody mind.
Anyways.. its all good. I just need to be diligent in exercising and eating my celery. And also to learn to let go and firstly learn to forgive.

It Came And Went.... in a Jiffy....
Firstly, Gong Xi Fa Cai. I am hokkien lah. So its not Kung Hei FaTT Choy .... for me.
About a week ago, I was so excited to have a week off work, and had only needed to take 3 days off. Unfortunately, I don't know what I did with my time and now I am already in my 3rd day of my extra leave. I hardly went out. Most of the time its at home binging on food esp cookies. I only went out on Wed to meet up with some friends from secondary school. Most of them had up and left this good old country. And i think the conversation went along the line, when would my turn be. Of course, i am not able to reveal my secret which only very few people know as I don't want to hear the drones of "what a waste" , "... you should have". To me its bygone. There are days which I do think about it but its becoming more and more minimal. I believe its the age factor that has lead me to be more appreciative of things I have now. It may not be a lot but its sure much more than some other more unfortunate people out there.
Hmm.. recalling back, I would say that I have been watching my dwnload series of Ugly Betty Season 3. Which is so awesome. Yeah I was once like here, with braces and all.. probably still ike her in the fashion sense.
Also, I would say this year's ang pow loot is much less than last year but then again times are bad. At least people are still giving.
The only so called bizzare thing that happened was, my dad had food poisoning and was very stubborn not to see the dr. Even with the tummy problems, he whacked all the sambal sotong, curry, acar, etc which my mom made. On the second day, in the morning, I saw him taking some medication, and obviously I asked him, still having "lau sai" ( translation - diareahea). I was shocked to hear the words from his mouth. He said " Someone trying to poison me, better purge till i die" Hmm.. very uncalled for statement. But seeing he is under stress from his condition, I just said , its not a good thing to say during CNY.
Other than that, its been great just hibernating.. doing nothing.. and praying for a better week next week when I head back to work. I have loads to do at the office but as per my philosophy on work, I shall not switch on my laptop when at home.... :D Then again u know I have to bring down my Hypertension - High BP status which hasn't improve at all.

Auntie Hair Style
If you don't already know by now, I permed my hair about 1 month ago. To be precise, on 24th of Dec 2008. Well, its quite a change esp after having not permed my hair for like 5-6 years. Due to hair health reasons. So i don't know why, I decided for the change.
The same person who saw me when i went back to work on 5th of Jan, has been spreading about my new hair do to everyone, even as far as my colleagues in SG.
Sad thing is, so insincere was her comments, she told them my hair style was nice better than before.
But yesterday she said her hair dresser could have done a better job. So i asked her to elaborate. And she said that... my perm is like auntie and its such auntie hair style and with one look she knows its done by a woman and not a man. And could an auntie too that did my hair. I said yes its and auntie so.? I said after all its just body perm. How wrong can a body perm be.
I guess some people are just pure big bad mouths. Anyways.... it will grow out. I just have to live with this auntie hair style for awhile.

I made it - day 2 of 2009
Yahooo... i did make it today for my 2nd work out of the YEAR 2009. I almost bailed out.
I did the same which is 30 min on cross trainer and 20 min on the thread mill.
I always go for the cross trainer first as its always in demand. Also I have been going off slightly earlier when I go to the gym since i do come in early anyways.
What i felt today is that is that the thread mill seems to work better. As I walked on the pre-program workout, uphill , etc. I could feel my stomach kind of like being worked out. I din feel that on the cross trainer.
Hopefully I will be able to sustain.
Congrats MG for making day 2 :D hehehe

Losing Weight is hard to do
Losing weight is definitely hard to do. Yesterday was my first day back to gym, I did 20 min on the threadmill and 30 min on the cross trainer. Felt like nothing at that time. But today my knee started to hurt. I have a history of knee pain. I used to sprint in secondary school and after I finished school all these problem with my knee started to surface.
Tomorrow I am planning to go to the gym. Hopefully I make it. Its so easy just to say no and give in to laziness. :D
I feel really fat and bloated. But one thing tho' I just can't stop eating either.
Recently i read about the special K diet... I give it after CNY before I embark on it.
Wish me luck.

MAMA MIA
As per the above photo, I went to watch MAMA MIA yesterday and paid a good money for it too. As you would notice, we sat at the Grand Circle, which was pretty good seat. We managed to get the tickets after they actually decided to have additional show. If you look closely, you would see that (where the STAR logo is), its stated that the show was to run until 1st Jan 2009. Due to overwhelming response, a few additional shows were added.
We had a surprise that day, not only seated two rows below us more towards the middle of the hall, sat our PM - Pak Lah. Some people were so blur, they didn't even know that was that PM; my friends included. They sat very weirdly, all the men on one side and the ladies on the other. It was a pleasant surprise rite? further to day, I have to say they were only like 5 mins late, e.g 3:05pm which is by the standards of dignitires is already very very good. :D
After all the hoo haa of PM - Pak Lah- whispering.... came the actual annoucement welcoming PM and some other folks, not that i can remember their name :D
Read more here
But not sure why they wort last nite, when it wasn't really the nite show we watched, it was the matinee show.
And Surprise Surprise, this boom thru the sound system " Kindly Stand for the National Anthem". Not sure if they played it for all the shows or just this one coz the PM was there. But really tho' this is a real added bonus :D
How as the show? Errr It was a OK. Kinda slow on some scenes. The bests ones for me were the last performance and the ancore... where the full blown dance was performed and so lively and the music was excellent.
p/s this was the london production , hence in the beginning some of the actors' accent were so strong, I didn't get jack shit... hehehe.
