stepping outside

I think the world population spends too much time indoors that we tend to forget that the world is more than just four walls…

Hey not bad, I actually went to the gym today. Well honestly I didn’t do much. I was pretty much walking around like a lost donkey without a carrot. I met a Trainer when I was about to go to work and he explained some basic stuff to me and how to use some of the equipment so I guess tmrw I’ll be more prepared.

Honestly one thing I really like about my job is that I sometimes get to go out and play work. Today I had the honour of visiting The One Academy at Sunway to give one of those R&H presentations. Whee~

The One Academy

So it was really fun for me even though I was mostly just the sidekick but hey I like meeting people and to a certain extent, I like it when I get an opportunity to inspire young VFX talents and encourage them into the industry. One thing I observed was that it was certainly not easy to do one of these presentations. There is about 10% of the crowd falling asleep. Well, ya know, not everyone can sit through a 2 hour presentation straight. And that includes me too except this time, I’m on the other side of the crowd.

Mandeep @ TOA

Thats Mandeep right there… a really distinct figure that a lot of people knows. Man, that guy I really gotta say…. he’s from India and he’s only been here for about 1 and a half years? But! He knows so much about KL/Selangor than any 5 Malaysians put together…

It was fun. I really like the impact on the crowd when we show our showreel. Basically jaw dropping stuff. Well I’ve seen that reel about 5~6 times now starting back when I was still in college. Still amazes me everytime I watch it.

i once said… i’ll never sign up for a gym membership

yeah right!

Honestly, it’s been a long time since I blogged. I am starting to think that I’m wasting money buying this space on the internet.

Honestly, it’s also been a long time since I was last so sure about doing something for myself.

my things

If you ask me now, I don’t even know how it happened or why was it even under consideration. But last weekend I got myself a pair of Nike Trainers (yuck.. Nike), some shorts and even went shopping for a gym membership! Yeap and here it is, today on the 14th June 2010 I did the impossible of signing myself with Celebrity Fitness! Heh, I even bought myself a padlock!

I had a decent deal from them and its labelled as “student package”. LoL… the manager at CF even said “Good to have a student ID that doesn’t have an expiry date”.. So anyway I will be doing this for a year and I will even snap photos of before and after (i’m not showing them just yet of course!). Celebrity Fitness… Ultimate Fitness Experience? We’ll see…

CF Logo

We’ll see…

the decisions you make… are the decisions I take

I feel so… torn apart sometimes.

It has been a while since I last blogged about something substantial in my life. I guess that goes the same with michelle. Its just that the working life doesn’t provide you with the comfort of time.

At this point in time of my working life, things are pretty messy. I honestly have been neither here nor there since 1st March 2010. Oh wait, thats only about less than 30 days but seriously I know now what is it like not having a job. I’ve been pretty much been trying to find a place at HP which they seem to be happy to have me with them. Now all the sudden Rhythm is calling me back finally after 2 long months to confirm me. I just feel so shredded.

On one end I’ve got a high paying job doing all that call centre thingy. On the other end I have a career path in the production industry which is what I’ve always been keen on but yet sacrificing the high pay. I know once all this is sorted out things will be back to normal.

I’m gonna do….. what I have to do.

what a weekend…

knowing you, you’re always up to something crazy…

I find it quite funny how nowadays I tend to want to take things the more challenging way.. like when I don’t really feel like up for smtg and I can always say “nah, I don’t feel like going…” but then I’ll put this thought to my mind (those who know probably heard this one time too many from me):

If the world is to end in a few hours, what would you do?

And before I know, I’m springing up on my two feet and off doing whatever it is I could have walked away from. I guess this keeps me living my life to the fullest as I always preach to people. But yeah this weekend was pretty crazy for me. Not to mention I got wasted in front of my own cousins… ugh.. I’ll never do that again.

the simple complication

life is actually very simple… we make it complicated

Somehow we all know this phrase and yet we still do it… I wonder why. My life has been pretty much anything but simple =\

… and who’s fault is it? *points to self*

Oh btw today is my company’s sports day… there was this thing called “dunk the GM” where the GM sits on a chair over a pool of water and if you throw the ball and it hits the target, it dunks the person sitting on it. You should see the irony of the faces of all the employees who couldn’t wait to dunk the GM. Except they seem to have forgotten that he is the one paying your salary!!!

am I supposed to close my eyes?

time seems to be seeping through my fingers… flowing away like grain of sand

I don’t know why but it seems like the working world passes so fast… I remember earlier this week I told myself that this week would past fast and look where we are? Tmrw is FRIDAY! I don’t know why nowadays I feel like my life is pretty much going on autoplay since I started working.

I wake up, I go to work, I have lunch, I finish work, I go home, I eat dinner, I sleep,
I wake up, I go to work, I have lunch, I finish work, I go home, I eat dinner, I sleep,
I wake up, I go to work, I have lunch, I finish work, I go home, I eat dinner, I sleep….

Before I know it, its payday again and I have a full month ahead of me again. Am I supposed to let my life pass like this? I remember every decade I live, I will take in a heavy sigh and tell myself “here goes another 10 years of my life to come”. True enough, if you think of it, since I was born till I was standard 4 (10yrs old) it felt very long. Since standard 5 till I was in 3rd yr of uni (20yrs old) it felt very long… but I totally forgot to do this routine when I was 21 so here I am doing it now….

*sigh* Why do I have the feeling like the next 10 years is just going to fly by just like that? argh!!!

My colleague told me this saying.. pardon me, its in Malay:

Bila muda, kita banyak energy tapi takde duit nak jalan
Bila middle-age, duit ada sikit, energy pun ada tapi takde masa nak jalan
Bila tua, kita banyak duit, banyak masa, tapi takde energy nak jalan….

Translation:
When we’re young, we have a lot of energy but little money to go around travelling.
When we’re middle-aged, we have some money, we have the energy but we don’t have the time to travel.
When we’re old, we have a lot of money, a lot of time, but we fcukin’ don’t have the energy anymore.. WTF?

And now its time for me to go to bed again because I have to go to work tmrw. Am I supposed to close my eyes to sleep so I’ll have enough energy to work the next day? Or am I supposed to stay up and cherish the time I have in this world but I will have to sacrifice sleep? Hmmmm

the begining… again

For those of you whom are curious what the heck happened to my blog and where are my posts, well to tell ya’ll the whole truth in a nutshell, Baithost.com.my, my old webhost fucked up big time and lost all my files. And so due to someone’s fuck up… I have lost all my posts. I don’t know if I can ever recover them but anyway I’m not afraid to start over again because I am pretty sure in the next years to come, I’ll still be able to tell great tales of my life just as I have always been.

I am still fixing the blog template and stuff so please bear with me… I will be posting my tagboard up again so feel free to drop your blog link to me.. cheers!
