Life as an Auditor can be...

fun and exciting if you're client is nice, generous, friendly, beautiful, hot...oh oh...getting carried away. sorry sorry. er...let's continue..professional, helpful, etc. It would be more interesting if the nature of business is something you're passionate about. Perhaps auditing Louis Vuitton would be fun for some girls, or MAS, Trek, Polar, Astro, Genting, anything and whatever you're passionate about.

As for me, I am fortunate enough (or my company really got no choice d) to be on the audit team for a popular and famous gym outlet in Malaysia. Let's just call it gym X. I really learned a lot from this trip, even though it's only my 3rd day here. I see things from a management's perspective and it is not as easy and straight forward as it seems. I always thought it is an easy task to operate a gym but I was damn wrong.

And one thing that I notice about the gym goers here in KL is that this guys are seriously muscular and fit and tone. Makes me feel like a tiny mice everything I use the toilet there. Not forgetting them walking here and there nude. Why can't they just keep their seaweed to themselves. kns...so suey.

I'm trying to look things on the bright side of life. =) Even though I may not be a pilot but I'm thinking of joining the finance department of SIA or MAS in the near future. That would bring me closer to the planes. I guess by doing that I could cross out 'Dream Job when I was a kid' . I guess God really mean it when He says, He knows the plans He has for each one of us. Hor?

I Need More

My coach is telling me that I'm not training enough. Funny thing is I clocked in about 5 hours of training last last week but it says, "Oops!No feedback messages this week due to a mix-up; don't you just love technology! It's good that training is healthier than surfing on the web." Apa ini? What a joke... =p

Anyways there is still a lot to learn about this watch. I've learned that sometimes when you feel you're pushing your body, actually you're not. Your mind tells you that you're pushing but your HR tells you otherwise. It's cool and fun to work out with a HRM. You should go to the nearest store and get one too! ^^

Polar rocks! Every week they will send me a msg in my watch and this week's msg was, "You gotta train more" >< I wish I could...

First Workout With FT80

I think I need a name for my watch. I have Ima, I have Kim, I have Oprah, now what? Polar? Sounds boring...if you have any suggestions please let me know. The function is pretty cool...you can upload all your result through this data transmitter thingy via usb. very canggih....just put my watch on it, and the data will transfer by itself.

As you can see below...my result of last night's ride up to Balik Pulau. I burned 1042 calories and you can see the 3 different zones. I was in Zone 3 when I started climbing the hills. One thing I noticed is my heart rate drops really fast when the workout is not intense. So, don't rest too much or else your workouts will be in vain.

This is my first ride to BP after my knee surgery. My time is definitely slowly than my usual but when I reach the BP town, my heart was really filled with joy. I can't thank Him enough for this moment I never thought I could achieve again. On top of that, I received a round of applause from the state development guys and girls who were there. I really felt motivated and strong. Now it's time to pick up my stamina and strength again.

[ima fell sick on the way up there. need to send her to the doctor]

$hopping!

I have been aiming for this 'hot babe' for almost a year d. Think.Eat.Sleep about it all day long. I first saw it on Men's Health magazine on the cover page. She is no typical cover girl because she appeared at the last page. I was furious! How come a sexy thing like that appears on the last page. =( Nonetheless...I search her high and low, in and out through the internet. Walaueh....damn chun! Read bout her, did my research and checked her out.

Two days ago I couldn't tahan any longer! The more I see it, the more I'm tempted to get her. At first I was just walking pass it, but she made her move. Maybe not her, but her 'owner'. I fell into the trap and walk straight into the unknown future. The 'owner' strip whatever's of her and pass it to me. Walau!!fainted, heart beat fast fast. nose bleed, face turned red. I LOST SELF CONTROL and I...bought her. =)

my lovely FT80

It really burned a big hole in my pocket but all its functions and features are really what I want. Will share about my training experience with it soon.

Stepping Down

I have been struggling over this matter a lot which is, should I resign as VP of PFA or shouldn’t I. This is my second time tendering my resignation and out of the two, James spoke to me and told me about his thoughts twice. I changed my mind the first time but not too sure bout this time. I am really thankful for him being in Innebandy!Co and in my life.

I’ve learned a lot about Floorball and leadership from Mr/Ps/Entrepreneur/Manager/Coach/President Edward Lim. It is under his mentor and guidance, I am where I am today. I can’t deny that fact. I will always remember this quote from him, ‘Nothing is more important than leadership’. Sometimes I question it, why leadership? Aren’t there many more important things than leadership? That is for you to find out. =p

I first met ed or knew about him when I first started playing floorball in 2003. I will always remember my first training session with him together with the first batch of players. Most of us were using the ‘radical’ club stick. I remembered this guy, Cornelius who owns a Karhu Hand of Doom. At that time, I wanted that stick because that’s the only high end stick I’ve ever seen. The blade, the design, the shaft makes it really desirable (back then). =) Training was always FUN even though I was still a newbie. It should be that way.

I remembered one of our session at Unleash Sport’s Camp, the topic was about who do you look up to as a leader and why? In my group itself, 90% answered Edward. I’m pretty sure his name was also mentioned in other groups. That is because his strength speaks through his actions and he is a big influence to many. If it’s not because of him, Floorball won’t be at where it is today. He is very focus and driven in achieving his vision while building leaders to run the same vision as he does. I admire his detailed observation, being able to be one step ahead of others and his ‘loudness’ which drives everyone forward. That is what I want to be and have. That’s why I admire and labeled him my mentor back in 2007. He is a very good coach, whether it’s floorball, swimming, Frisbee, captain ball, etc, he would be able to unleash your potential within you.

For all the guidance and lessons I’ve learned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These are all priceless lessons which I will never forget from this journey of life. If it’s not because of Yean May and him, I will always be a follower and a damn good one. =) So I wanna thank them again for trusting me and mentoring me back in those days. He also said, ‘Once a leader, always a leader’. I will continue to build what I have been building on together with my inner circle. Now I ride ‘alone’.

p/s I have decided to quit because I don’t feel like I’m growing and contributing to the team. I rather quit and not be the rotten apple. I do feel heavy hearted stepping down but I do believe in the positive of change.

Up and Down

With a new career and a ‘cacat-ed’ knee, life is more colorful now. ‘Mental Vs Physical’ was/is what I had/have been experiencing. Some things are just so significant in your life; it appears to be a tattoo on your skin. I have new experiences and new friends made during this period. But I have my downs as well.

I’ve gotten to know that one of my closest friend have been trying to commit suicide a couple of times. This news really breaks my heart and I cried over it. I just feel helpless that I can’t do anything about it. One night, ABCDEF called me and cried on the other side of the line, telling me he/she just cut him/herself and he/she is in a lot of pain. I can’t understand 80% of whatever he/she is saying because the person was crying pretty badly. I understand the pain and struggles he/she is going through; I tried really hard convincing him/her to get medical help before it’s too late. I wept. My mum was with me that time and she said, “If you trust God, let’s pray together.”

In desperation I surrender this burden to God. 10 minutes later, I got a call from the person promising me that he/she will never do that again. Tell me, is this just a coincidence or God’s intervention. =) I could have taken his/her sms as a joke before the call. If I did, I guess I would never see or hear from him/her again. But ‘something’ just speaks to my heart about the seriousness of the situation. I just obeyed.

Sometimes it’s hard when you have troubled and ‘annoying’ friends in your life. But always always remember they’re humans with emotions and feelings. You never know, one day we might be in their shoes too. HE showed us L-O-V-E, so should me and you. It’s easier said than done but we’ve to try. These four-letter-words will determine life or death, joy or sorrow, hope or disappointment, light or darkness. So I pledge you guys to show love, whether it’s on or off the floorball court, in school, in your work place, on the roads, etc. I’ve a lot to learn from this as well, that’s why I need my ‘Inner Circle’ to help me grow and improve myself.

FAQ: What happen to you? Part II

Sleeping in the hospital in awful. The sound, the smell, the sight, the bed, etc. It's a whole new experience for me because it was my first time and sekali kena 9days 8nights. A friend told me that some of them sound like they're gonna 'go' anytime. And it's pretty true. There were also times where I didn't get out of my bed for 3days. Imagine, the bed sheets weren't changed and I peed on it a few times. =( sucky when you are immobile.

ice compressor to reduce swelling

They inserted a tube in my knee to draw out those excessive fluid in my knee. The colour of the fluid is yellowish. Looks like pee and that's clean fluid. It's weird when you have things like this stuck in your body. Any slight movement from my knee hurts badly for the first 3 days after surgery. My mood was really really crappy! I snapped at my mum and gf. I really feel bad for my mum especially. She was there for me throughout my suffering. She had to throw my urine and feed me, clean me, etc and yet get all those crap from me. I really suck.

tube in my knee

After they removed the tube from my knee (which was also painful), I started doing a little bending with the help of a machine. I couldn't even bend for more than 30degrees. It was really bad. The following day, I was brought to the physiotherapy ward for further exercises. I was really happy when both my feet touched the ground, standing. I almost teared, too kamtong.

the bending machine

Finally, doctor gave me the green light to go home when I could walk with crutches. Felt happy and relieve that I could go home. The polluted air outside the hospital felt good. The sound of traffic jam, ahhhhhh...it's the sound of F-R-E-E-D-O-M.

I really wanna thank my friends for visiting me. It really mean a lot to me! The thought, the flowers, the prayers, the laughter, everything just made me feel better. Thank you and I really appreciate you guys and girls for turning up. =)

To be continue.
