Revamp?

Was chatting with my brother last night and I realised that there are a lot of things in my life that I need to change. Was telling him about how my weight and size have been stagnating for practically a year already and yet I have not changed my routine, neither have I done any study on how I could improve my routine.

The only thing that seems to be going for me now is my work. Will possibly be going to UK during the end of the year sponsored by the company to do some research stuff. Other parts of my life seem to be in shambles. I can understand why some choose to bury themselves in work and keep themselves there. I feel the temptation to do so as well but I know that work is really but a small part of this journey called life.

For me now relationships seem to be the thing that makes or breaks me. Even though I am well aware that even relationship is also a subset of life, but somehow I can't seem to be able to put it in it's proper place and give it only the amount of attention and effort it deserves. How?

Next Friday I will be going to see the 'Oracle' of sorts. Apparently there is a ministry that ministers to people prophetically and are pretty accurate in it. My sis can attest to it. In a sense I am keen to go for it. Then again, too much truth at one time may be more than I can bear. How?

Think I really gotta sit down and really think about what I am after in this journey. This mid life crisis is really getting to me......

Batam Part 1 Intro


It all started with one lady who wanted to help some poor villagers in Batam who did not have the means to get the glasses they needed in order to see well......

She started to gather people to go along with her to Batam. It started with miserable responses. Then the news spread and she ended up with 20 others half of which are not even from her workplace to help her......

So the day came...... 26th Feb 2010...... The pic above only reflected half of the full strength going. In case you have not realised, I am the handsome guy on the left of the pic......




The good thing about a camera with a dual lcd screen is that you can talk pics anywhere, even in a car...... and you will not miss out anyone......




The gathering of the fellowship......



Guess who's the cam whore????? Nay, it can't be me...... 



The journey was arduous but...... but...... when the going gets tough, the tough gets going...... not that we had a choice...... We had to walk a distance before we could get on the boat to bring us to the kelong......



Of all places I could have looked, I had to peep at the toilet first. That's the most important place...... :)





The bed's pretty comfy. Thank God!


Overall, the place's pretty nice and cosy...... We had three persons to a room and each room had a bathroom. Hallelujah! 




I Need Motivation Man

Been really lazy of late. Really could not get myself to practice my instruments for a while already. I really need motivation man.......

I Am Convinced He Is Of The Devil

Remember the relative I mentioned about during my previous posts who was trying to introduce me to mlm? He's at it again! After the last sms back to him, I thought that would be the last I hear from him. I was wrong, so wrong....... He called up just now, this time trying to get me to try a product his friend was selling. My goodness! When I told him I am not interested, he would question me why? Duh! Am I answerable to him for what I decide?????? It is my fault that I have not mustered up enough courage to tell him straight in the face to *%^#^ off.

Just when I thought I started to get better because of the weekend getaway, after I hung up the phone, I felt depressed again. That's why I am convinced he is sent of the devil. I always respected mlmers. Now I think it's starting to change. So glad that my bro in law is so different though he is one. He does talk to me about it from time to time but he gives me the space and liberty to say no. And I respect him for that. Enough said. Think I gotta go for another kelong trip to recover from my trauma...... :)

Settling Into Work

Work feels pretty good today. Think the break has really helped somewhat. Negative thoughts seem to linger less in my mind. Time really flies. Next thing I know, I'll be in Taiwan. Less than 2 weeks to go. Gonna be back in gym today. Yipee! Need to train hard man. Someone commented about me being skinny during my swim in the kelong. Really need to eat hard and work hard......
