I often reflect on things that happens in the day, but it is rarely that i pen them down like this. Recently, I reflect a lot more than usual and realised that how much growing up I have done. I learnt a lot of things that hard way by experiencing it myself. Despite its wisdom, books are of little help. Most of the help comes from within. More often than not, you only learn when you get burnt and its only then , that you understand the true meaning intented by the author. Just like how your parents' nagging suddenly can seem heartwarming to you.
Life takes on a 180 when your perspective of things change. This has been the case for me eversince I started working. Big things in the past become nothing but a speck of dust in my eye. Its nothing more than removing that piece of dirt to get on with life. My key takeaway from all my reflections thus far is that mindset is the key to all success. Because with the right mindset, it can help pull you away from undesirable thoughts and feelings that could hinder success. As it is important to exercise to stay healthy, it is equally important to take time off to understand how your body is feeling. It is always good to know how you are feeling so that you can fine-tune your emotions. After you know what you are dealing with, it would be way easier in managing emotions. i.e pitching it at the right level, making it work for you rather than against you. Everyone has their own formulae, there is no right way of doing things. I have found mine but it is going to take time to nurture it to become receptive to all situations.

The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still.

Bombshell and its impact
Horrified and disappointed. Ronaldo drops bombshell on United. Check this out! http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=768745.html What exactly is he trying to do? Is this some publicity stunt of his? Could he be thriving on the attention from club managers worldwide? or maybe, it's one of his strategy for a pay increment. oh well, he is a smart guy, he must know what to do. As my favourite player, he has indeed improved in leaps and bounds since years ago and plus, he has played a really great game this season. :)
Another shocking news hit me when I got home today. I found the tap running on full "power". This means that it has been on for the past 10 hours. Thinking about all that water wasted gets on my nerves. It could be used for at least a 100 baths and car washes. I'm really feeling the pinch even though the bill is not coming from my pocket. All the talk about global conservation.. being green and all, and yet my family is not doing the right thing! I'm going to find out who is the little culprit and give him a good scolding.

Wet morning but sexy saturday ahead~
Oh my, it’s a wet morning today! I'm feeling great. I'll be having yoga class soon. My trainer is really nice, probably in her mid-thirties or so. Didn’t dare to ask coz age is a sensitive issue yea? Even at my previous workplace, we celebrate birthdays with only one candle! Ho ho, just browse through Kerly’s blog, so fun so fun! She is having so much fun and I am happy for her. Kerly’s blog is the only blog I can remember, I have lost all of my friends bog after formatting my computer. Sigh. I need to get back all of them again.
Yesterday, I went out with the girls and it was so much fun again. I wished I have digital cam so that I can post them up for you to see. Anyhow, Gina has already posted them in facebook; there are quite many silly pictures of me. Gosh, I can’t wait for Bangkok trip!
Now that I am working, people ask me how’s work? Well, work has been great so far. I really love everything about SCB, it’s a wonderful place to work in, especially in FMO. I have learnt heaps about products, structures, processes, risk management and made brilliant friends from the programme especially. Even then, there are some days which I wanna go home and sleep instead of working or wanna leave to go out with my baby more. This is where I can see myself developing into something more so even when things are not so great, I have to remind myself that I have to stick my head in it and carry on coz life is a marathon and not a race. Thus, Standard Chartered Marathon!
Oh shucks, I have to leave for yoga already. Stay tuned for more!
