My 2nd Run - We Run KL 2012

Yesterday I successfully completed my 10km run despite my sickness. I really felt proud of myself as i ran under the drizzling rain. Haven't recovering from my flu and cough, running become tougher for me as i got mucus stuck in my nose and phlegm stuck in my throat.  Anyway, I made it!~!~!~!  I completed my run in 1 hour and 28 mins. Improvement of 3 minutes compared to Standard Chartered Run. I believe I have wasted total of 10minutes due to poor distribution of water. Wuahahaha.  So, my completed time would be ''uhum'' :)

I feel like my stamina getting better ever since i joined bootcamp. I was in shocked when I saw 5km board as I did not realise I have run for 5km. Hahahaha... 

Dusun Trip and Sabah Trip

Well, I have been thinking to update my life experience about Dusun and Sabah Trip. So here I am today updating my post about the Trip. Let's picture say it all!!!

The journey going up to the peak ain't easy. I successfully made it!!! A lesson learnt from Sabah Trip - Right companion is EXTREMELY important! You will definitely enjoy to the max if you have a right companion.

 

Cheers,

Shin Ying

What is Your Mission Statement?

I went for 7habits of highly effective people training in Ritz Carlton last week. One part of the training required the participants to write their personal mission statement in 5 minutes time. You may practice to write yours if you want to find out what you want to achieve in life. I personally didn't write a sentence related to my current job. I have been saying I wanna do alot of things. Between happiness and "money", which one would you prefer. Do you think this situation exists where you will have a lot of money and at the same time you will have happiness in a working world? When you have lotsa money, happiness is getting lesser in your working place. Tell me about it if you disagree with the statement above. My brother used to tell me that "like what you do now, not do what you like". Hmmm. How to like it when it is not what I like. Dilemma kicks in as I do not know what I like. Hahaha. Frankly speaking, this is not the initial post I wanna blog about. I just feel like posting my crappy cross mind thinking.

Monday Blues!!!!

Not a good day that I wish to remember today! Wonder why do I say so?

The reason is I lost my sports shoes. Not one but TWO. My sports shoes got stolen as I placed it at outside of my house. I purchased a néw sports shoes and I only wore once for KK trip. Then THAT'S IT!!!! My sports shoes!!!! 300 bucks sports shoes gone! Old sports shoes got stolen too! Another 300 bucks gone!!! What a heartache!!!

Today is the day I shall remember forever in my life! No putting sports shoes at outside of my house!

Amazing day!!!

After having bak kut Teh in klang today, I felt like buying magnum 4D when I pass by the shop. Buying lottery ticket is never my constant habit. I just buy it when I feel like it. I remember I told my mom that I want to have experience in winning a lottery in my life, at least once in my life. Today my wish is granted by God of Luck and God of Fortune. I won in lottery!!! Not a big amount nor first Prize. It is special prize!!! I need to open my eyes big to double check the result. Hahaha. 

This is another special month that I experience another new thing in my life!!! Hahaha.  

Teaser for my Update :)

Gonna update my life experiences in July 2012. Dusun trip that I went last two weeks and currently I am in Sabah! Tomorrow gonna conquer mount kinabalu and I definitely will update more on Sabah trip. Stay tune!

Lovely Saturday 07 July 2012

Wonder why i said so?? Mainly because it was boot camp Platoon Challenge. Platoon Challenge 2012 was held in University Malaya. Waking up at 4.10am ain't fun as I slept late the day before. We gathered at Jalan Gasing to have a face paint of Cat as our theme was black panther. *If i am not mistaken*. We were so close to be champion. Anyway, USJ Legends Platoon rockssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

After the 'exercise', i had bak kut teh with 2 lovely ladies and 3 round of Mahjong in Shea Teng's house. Next, i played bowling with Kah Yee as tomorrow will be her company bowling tournament. Upon reaching home, my friend came to pick me up at 6.00pm and I played badminton from 7pm till around 10pm. While having my steamboat dinner with my friends, his friend gave him a call and they want to have a drinking session in Library!!!! Gosh!!!!!!! Can you imagine that! I was wearing my badminton shirt and rubber pant to Library!!!!!!!!! I wanted to dig a hole and hide my head inside it. Thanks God that the drinking place was in SS2 and the crowd was not that much. If not, !@#$%^&*(*&^%$#.  A friend of mine thought that I went to Library to study when i told her about this incident and she asked me what is wrong with the sports attire. After knowing the truth, she was like ''xxxx''. Hahahaha...

Anyway, that's all for today. Good night peeps. Adios!~!~!~!

1 July 2012

I feel amazed at myself as I have been officially working in PM for 2 years. 9 months in Treasury, 9 months in Business Planning, 6 months and still counting in Internal Controls department. Nothing much to blog about this as my mind is blank now.

On a separate note, let me share my mini achievement in bootcamp, I did 2 benchmark workouts on Friday and Saturday. I joined my colleagues' platoon for the workout on Friday and sadly to say that I did not successfully complete first benchmark workout. Not willing to leave it with NO TIME, i went to my platoon for the same benchmark workouts at 5am. GUESS WHAT!!!!! I have recorded a time for my first benchmark. For your information, benchmark workout 1 requires me to run for 2 laps (200m per lap), then 10 push ups, 10 grunts and 15 sit ups and I must do it for 3 times. My completion time was 13.48. Wowowowowowo... *Clap clap for myself* Benchmark workout 2 was running for 8 laps (200m per lap). My completion time was 13.20. Hahahahahaha. One of the participant is 50 years old and his time for both benchmark workout was less than 9 minutes. *EYE ROLLING* I definitely can improve my time as time goes on. HOOYAH~~~~~~~~

That's all to share for today. Oh yeah!~!~!~ Later is Euro final: Spain vs Italy. GO GO Spain!!!! YUHOOO~~~~~ 

26 June 2012

Today marked my first day in boot camp. YUHOOOO!! I thought of not going as I need to wake up at 5am!!! However, I successfully dragged myself to usj 1 and started the "military" training for an hour. My legs, thigh, feet are still in pain due to Sunday marathon! After doing the squad, sit squad, sumo squad, push up and jack knife exercise, my arms are pain now. Hahaha. Overall, I do enjoy all these kind of exercise. I believe it will provide me a better strength to climb mount Kinabalu in July! :) I feel so excited for the planned activities in this year!!! Will update my blog more frequent for my life experiences in 2012! Now it's 9.47pm and I feel damn good lying on my bed. Life is fabulous when you get to lie on your bed after a long tiring working day. :p

June 24, 2012

I woke up at 4.30am and got myself ready to meet up my colleague in the office so that he can lead me to the right parking lot as the event today was standard chartered kl marathon 2012. Woahhhhhh! I have participated my ever first 10km run today! For your information, I did not train well at all. I always run for 40mins in gym and the record was 2km if I'm not mistaken. HOWEVER, I made it! Yuhooooo! I have completed my 10km run within 1 hour and 31 minutes. I feel so proud of myself. I felt like giving up when I reached 4km. Encouragement to myself by saying "shin Ying, it is all about mentality!!" made me move on until I successfully completed the run. Everyone was running 'fast' for the last 1km. Feeling like 1000pound of weight on my feet, I hardly can jog or move on with fast pace for the last 1km. Whatever it is, the key point is AGAIN,I made it. Lol~~~ My legs now are painful and body is lethargic. How I wish tomorrow is a public holiday. Monday is seriously blue especially I need to reach office at 8.30am. *my usual timing to reach office at 9.10* I need to arrive at office so early to return something to a colleague. Ish ish ish! Anyway wish you all have a good sleep. Nighto!!!!

Be Blessed if You Have Enough Sleep!

What was the last moment you slept until you automatically wake up without alarm clock beeping or you do not have to snooze every moment it rings? Be blessed if you have enough sleep everyday!

Ever since i started working, i hardly can get enough sleep. Hmmm~~~. Time to ponder a reason WHY! Most probably because of my own habit. I always browse or watch drama using my Iphone before my eyes could not stand the pressure of closing. LOL~  

My only time to get enough sleep will be over the weekends. Saturday is the best day to rejuvenate myself. :) I had a good sleep today by waking up at 1pm. Hahahahaha... Having enough sleep can make myself feel so HAPPY~!~!~!~!~!..... 

Btw, tomorrow will be Standard Chartered KL Marathon and so far this will be my ever first marathon. :) See you there for those who will be joining the run tomorrow!

Finance Team Building 2012

Treasure Hunt was the highlight for this year Finance team building. I was allocated into orange team, leading by Chris, IS Manager. Orange team picture before starting our journey. A lot of my colleagues said that we have the biggest advantage as three of us are from Perak. LOL~~~~

Another picture that i took with Red Team before starting the journey. On my right hand side is my manager and she shouted ''WRONG COLOR!!!'' hahaha.... Starting point was from my company, Menara Milenium and the end point was in Clearwater Sanctuary Golf Resort in Batu Gajah.Sadly to say that Treasure Hunt that used to be annual event for my company got taken out from the list just right after i joined PM. Hence, I did not experience treasure hunt before and this round will be the best time for me to get first hand experience to hunt for ''treasure''.  *Wink* My team was stucked in 2 questions and we wasted too much time for it. Drum music started to play inside my stomach at around 12pm and we were very busy to search for our ''treasure'' that time. For your information, each ''treasure'' worth of 10 points. We know that we bought the wrong treasure but we did not purchase it again due to time limit. In the end, we got our team minus 10 points. If not, orange team definitely will be in Top 3. Ish ish ish!!!!!! Anyway, we reached the end point at around 2pm and we had our lunch at 2.30pm. While waiting for our food to be served, we have taken a picture as shown below:-

 
Our table consisted of the youngest and the oldest in Finance. Hahahaha.... After the lunch, all of us moved on to Cameron Highlands Strawberry Park Resort. As the road to Cameron Highlands is narrow and windy, i woke up in the middle of my sleep and i felt like vomitting that time. Bear in the mind, i just felt like. Today i had my lunch with my manager and we talked about finance team building. I asked my manager did the navigator or passengers fall asleep during the journey up to Cameron. My manager answered was '' both passengers behind fell asleep till XXX XXXX requested for plastic bag and vomitted twice into the plastic bag (she re-open the plastic bag again after vomitting for the first time). Nobody could fall asleep after that.'' Hahahaha..... So my driver should be feel proud of me as i do not vomit at all. Dinner was served in Garden Terrace at 7.30pm. The food was good and oh yeah~~~~~~~~...... My ex manager was the first person required to draw out 5 person for the lucky draw. First person she drew out was my male colleague in same department. Second person she drew out was my Manager. So that point of time, i was wondering and thinking ''Could it be Me???''' Till she revealed the third person'' SHIN YING~~~!!!'' I was like ''WTF'' Anyway, ICD RoCks~~~~ I got my lucky number 18 gift from PM. So far, that was my first lucky draw gift that i ever won. Hahahaha. I wish myself more to come for this kind of luck. After the dinner, we continued our party in the club of this resort. We had our PM's party there. As usual, my mission is always bottom up with my colleagues especially Finance Director. That night was crazy as i was down with pure liquor and i felt so tipsy after that. Not to forget everybody was forced to pose with the pole or do pole dancing. It was definitely a good good night to end our Finance Team Building 2012. Let pictures say it all.

Good night my peeps. :)

Euro 2012

Euro 2012 finally kicked off in Poland on 8 June 2012. What is your favorite team? Which team do you support and of course I will ask you the reason why!!! This year I support SPAIN!!! Mainly because of Iker Casillas and Cesc Fabregas. Hahaha. My favorite football player is Frank Lampard and by right I should support England but not Spain. Sad to say that England all this while disappointed their fans. A superstar team always lose or got disqualified at the end of the competition. It is purely my personal opinion. You might not agree but I just wanna voice it out. Something to add on: I really dislike / hate Torres!!! As I am Chelsea supporter, I always feel like buying him into Chelsea is a wrong mistake and letting him play in Euro match is a big no no! However, the coach will still replace him with someone in the middle of the match. I bet this is due to his super duper good luck in scoring the goal. Ish ish ish. Still dislike him tho. Anyway, buena suerte for Spain. Adios!

What Have You Done For Your Mid Year?

Yeap! A lot of thinking crossed my mind while I was bathing. Haha. One of the question was what have I done for my mid year! Time flies very fast and it is June now. I tried to recall my memories and here are the details that I want to jot down in my blog.

January:
I transferred to Internal Controls Department from Business Development and Planning Department on 16 January 2012. Other than that I received an iPod touch from the company on the same day. I experienced my ever first wall climbing in Putrajaya. It was so fun as it trains your mentality by pushing yourself to reach the top! Not to forget it was the month of Chinese New Year! The feeling is totally different as I grow up. The traditional practice now is I will pack Ang pao to my parents. It is no longer a one way 'transaction'. HAHAHA!

February:
Nothing much happened in February. I received a bouquet of rose from him and later a bouquet of sunflower from another him for Valentine event. I seriously feel so proud and lucky that I have them to send me flowers all these while. *Wink*

March:
I will consider this is quite a special month. WOnder why I said so! I went to skybar with him and later we went to bukit bintang. He bought me a rose and finally we chose Werners to have a drink. By the way, long island in skybar sucks big time. He made this month special as he confessed to me. Haha.

 April:
Another amazing month as I was invited to my course night. I know I have graduated from Victoria University and hence I call it ball night when my colleagues asked me about it.ol. I did a short blog about it. You may scroll down to read further if you want to. :) something to add on for VU night 2012. As I was working that day, I bathed in pyramid's gym and dressed up there. One of the biggest benefit by joining gym is you can bathe there when you are in rush for something. Apart from this, I went to Hong Kong to attend a workshop. It was my second business trip. I am really satisfied with my presentation when I was in HK. Business trip ain't fun as it was tiring. However i felt good traveling to other country because it was such a great moment to refresh my mind. I just remember: I straight away drive to one utama to watch The Avenger after I touched down from HK. After all, I was exhausted.

May:
Another exciting month for me. My sis came back from Australia for wedding photo shoot. I helped her to choose her wedding gowns. Hehe. Pretty tired when I flipped through the gowns. Lifestyle is different when my sis is with me. I was like a princess pampered by her. A memorable memory that I would like to share: I watched jacky cheung's concert with the ticket worth of RM658. It is VVIP ticket. Wow wow wow!!! Thanks ah pek for sponsoring me. :)

June:
Today it is 6 June 2012. I still have 24 days to experience something which I definitely will elaborate later on. So far I have watched two premier screening: Promentheus on 4 June 2012 and Madagascar on 5 June 2012. Thanks for a friend of mine for winning these two movie tickets. Finance team building is on 15 June 2012 which is going to be next Friday. I will update in my blog soon for the fun in progress event.

That's all for today. Have a good night peeps~~~

Emo~~~

I think of him and I can't believe that I still miss him at this moment. Memories is such a powerful thingy to haunt my mind! I always give advice to my friends asking them to move on. This question should turn back on me. Have I? I wonder so. My friend asked me a question before. A question of how to forget someone. My answer to my friend was it is impossible that we can forget someone in our lives. Till we die, memories could be faded by time but you will never ever forget someone. "unless someone got memory lost disease" when you ask yourself or somebody a question of "HOW TO FORGET SOMEONE" I can tell you right now there is no solution for it. All you need to do is to FACE IT. FACE THE REALITY! I definitely know that easier said than done. Somehow we need our own courage to face it. If not, life will continue to be miserable. Hopefully I can get rid of it asap. Missing someone ain't fun at all. It causes you a heartache that only you yourself know the feeling.

Broke my record of Working Time

Today I was on MC as I need to follow up on my elbow pain in Sunway Medical Centre. The doctor asked me to rest my elbow and he gave me MC till Friday! Yeap!! It means I got holidays for two days. However, I was not happy at all when the doc told me that I MUST rest my elbow to cure the nerve inflammation. The reason is purely because I need to rush for testing on the review that I am doing now. Friday will be the day that my boss wanna close up the review and she wanna see the working paper by Thursday. LOTSA OF TESTING before I can start with my working paper. In the end, I called my boss when I was out from the hospital and I told my boss that I will be on MC till Friday and I will send her the working paper by TOMORROW MORNING. For your information, each of us actually has two hours session with my boss regarding the working paper. After a long grandmother's story, let me relate it back to this title of post. I finally sent the working paper to my boss and I worked till now!!! YEAH NOW!!!! 4.30AM!!!! Oh my gosh! My backache is getting worst and I feel like my neck is going to be separated from my body. Anyway, good night to myself and good morning to you all!

Jacky Cheung 1/2 Century Concert

Instead of sending my sister to the airport, i went to watch Jacky Cheung's concert in Stadium Merdeka on 12 May 2012 (Saturday). What a bad sister was i right!!! Never Mind. I know my jie will understand me. :) For the ever first time, i watched the most expensive concert in my life (as for now :p) Thank you for Ah Pek for buying me this VVIP ticket. Overall, i will say it was a worth for money concert out of so many concert that i ever watched. I was impressed as no invited guests for that 3 and 45 minutes concert.Amazing and thumbs up for the concert! :) 

Blackberry!!!

I have made up my mind to purchase blackberry smart Phone after a year using iPhone! I hate iPhone so much due to its auto correction. The auto correction did amend my word from "hehehe" to "husband". I bet my friend was shocked when he received that message in what's app. Hahaha. Blame to autocorrection. There is a link for all these faulty messages "www.damnyouautocorrect.com". Probably mine can be one of the sample in that website. :) Anyway currently I am still thinking which model to be purchased. Probably I should go for bold 9900.

Hong Kong 2012

Yeap.. I am in Hong Kong right now. Touched down in Hong Kong at ard 5.30pm and checked in at Hotel Excelsior, Causeway Bay. Overall, the interior design hotel is imcomparable with the previous hotel i checked in last year. :p

Anyway, just wanna blog a super short update now. Gonna out to grab my dinner now~!~!~!

Have a good day people~~~~~~~~

VU NIGHT 2012

Just attended VU Night 2012 today as I got an invitation from my lecturer. Same old place at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa. Theme for this year is Sapphire and Turquoise.

The feeling is real different compared to those time when I was committee. Sitting down at the table and waiting for the food to be served is real fantastic. Not only feeling is different, I would say that energy level of myself is totally incomparable to last time. I started to feel tired at 11pm as I have been busy working for last few week. Too many things on my hands till I feel so restless. Venue for after party is zouk. None of us from my table join that party as all of us need to work today. It's Friday now as it has past twelve. TGIF !!!!

Lotsa stories to tell for VU Night. However, it's sleeping time for me now. To be continued!!!

I-Poison

Wonder what is I-poison? This is a 'Virus 'attacking me right now. I feel insecure without having my I-phone with me.

I didn't rely on my phone that much for the time I used blackberry. Due to limited apps for games and the screen for blackberry is small, I kinda slept early those times. Btw, Pitbull's song-Back in time keeps haunting my mind right now. Haha... It is the Soundtrack of men in black.

Back to my I-poison topic!!! I started to sleep late after I got iPhone. The reason why I got myself an iPhone purely because I wanna try out other smart phone after my blackberry was drown in the pool. What a memorable pool party for me!!! As commented by the attendants, I do agree it's the best ever pool party yet saddest party as I lost my babe phone there.

I thought of getting myself a blackberry now as I prefer a tactile keyboard. :) Worth to buy? Let me think, think and re-think on this 'investment'.

Random post!

Feel like activating my blog for this year. Somehow I find it funny when I read back my old posts. I just can't believe that I posted that kind of funny posts those times.

Just finish playing a board game called The message: Emissary crisis. Victory of the team can turn to be failure or disappointment because of the counter attack of MOF player. Overall it is a great game which pump up your adrenaline to consider or re-consider who is your team member or enemy. Thumbs up for the game! Of course thumbs up for the companion too!!!

Okay. Got to sleep as tomorrow gonna wake up early at 8am. Thanks God It's Friday!!!!

Life's Like That

Woke up at around 12pm last Sunday after party hard for Zouk@Sepang the day before, got a shocking notification when i checked my handphone. After so long, someone that i never expect that i will hear from. Time will cause the memories faded away but sometimes have you ever wondered things just seems like happened yesterday. Memories has been refreshing.

As per Dr Seuss quote, Don't Cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

I am glad that i have passed through those hell moment in my life. I thought i could let it go but somehow something is just not right.
