Movin on.. Bring it On Life!!!

"Overwhelmed" - its the only apt term that I could use to describe the situation that I am in rite now.. its all moving so fast and procrastination would just drown you further (yeah..deep down..)
Assessing written reports, common tests, admin work, the nitty gritty things that builds up overtime .. and yes.. more to come definitely...

Having to practice 'Self motivation & Self discipline' is undeniably harder than it appears on the surface.. (let's include self-entertaining to keep my mind sane too..) Its frustrating when the time just dissolves away so rapidly that you can barely feel it.. Its really ironic having Me (!!!) to preach about time management to the kiddos' when in actual fact, I am the one who needs it badly..

Despite this, i would have to admit that the past two months have been a blast...

- Accomplishing the 10 km Big Walk

- Making it to the summit of Low's Peak (Mount Kinabalu, Sabah).. yeah.. pain in the knees hurt like mad.. and yah.. the 1st experience of walking like old grannies with walking stick.. but it was a golden opportunity of building up strength, perseverance and resilience.. [Dear Allah... all i wanted was to reach the summit and down back to the foot of mountain safe, sound..and still intact in one piece.. :-) Unfortunately, i forget to mention in the shortest time possible to my ability.. heh..

Imagine this.. The numbness on your legs, the overwhelming fatigue, the cold evening air, not to mention the showers of blessings, the darkness.. just u, your pal and not forgetting your kind foreign guide and yes, stuck in the rainforest.. The experience definitely beats Amazing Race.. ]

- (Teachers' Day Celebration STOMP performance)

Having to stay back in school till 8.30 pm at least 3 times a week and having to come back on weekends.. trust me..its no joke man.. but when the day finally came and having to look back now.. its all worth the banging and hitting..

Its definitely an accomplishment having to hit chemcial tins (mind you.. there are 3/4 of my size) and dented rubbish bins in a very stylo-milo rhythm .. (we became such pros to the point that we were able to come up with new tunes within 5 minutes.. hehe.. compared to 5 hours when we first started out.. )

Funny thing is, initially everyone thought we were nut cases.. having to create a din in the school hall, disturbing badminton players' concentration (and trust me, this includes our dear P and VP. Well.. thanx to their undying faith in somewhat unorthodox (we're supposed to be creative and not forgettingthat we created the tunes without any professional help.. okok.. a little start-up help from a dear fren.. hehe) performance.. we successfully swept them off their feet with our rhythm.. :-)

well.. im still trying to figure out how to include the clip of the performance here.. but as usual..im html and software illiterate.. haiz.. i might forget about it.. heh..

- Finally... i got back the discipline of attending religious classes .. despite the fact that it was hard having to tell yourself to get out of the office by 7 pm :-) (even though you have a whole pile of work to be done.. Trust me... its pretty therapeutic just having to sit down and listen to divine words.. hehe.. (its better than having me to scream the top of my lungs in class everytime)

- Cutting down on my monthly expenses.. (Hey.. i deserve an whole round of applause for this you know.. ) Its like having that devil in you, enticing and mesmerising you (like i was like super big voodoo doll) to just spend your money away ... shoes.. facials.. clothes..and more shoes.. oh..not forgetting my facial masks.. food.. food.. its even more deadly if you have 'The Potent Plastic Card' ..yes.. don't oretend like you don't know what I mean.. The 'NETS' or 'Debit MasterCard'.. a substitute to your EXTREMELY DEADLY --> The Credit Card.. haiz.. So much for being more money-savvy..

(Well.. admit it we're not that perfect..and due to that fact.. I just can't resist the urge of spending the moment i stepped into Kinokuniya or Borders.. yikes..!! Its only 1 book.. okok.. 2 books.. :-))

Well...looking back.. its been quite a 'journey'.. short (like me) but totally exceptional & unique.. (like me..heh..) and you bet not even your Credit Card can replace all that blast :-)
