I guess I don’t have to hit the gym as often as I should. Walking on 3 inch heels in and out of the R&D room (for only God knows how many times…) is enough to make my muscles all worked out.

It’s the second day since the No-Messenger policy was being reactivated. Not so much big of a deal as I have the mails to go to (read: built-in messenger). Having being crippled by the ban, the only mean of communication is by walking or since The Boss has moved to a room, totally isolated from the rest of us, we have more freedom to shout from the door.

We’ve yet to do that though…

Yesterday, while taking my time preparing for Jam class, I managed to talk to a PT, asking her help on toning my body.

Sean constantly tells me that I need to build my shoulder, ie. to ‘open my chest’. The PT echoed the exact words and for that, she offered me free consultation on which machine to focus on and the amount of reps and weight I should apply.

Sweet!

The only lesson I got on using the machines was during the first time I joined The Gym. To date, I only use the treadmill.

Ya, I know… all about cardio but not on muscle toning.

In my circle, Sean is the only person whom I can discuss about fitness. He used to be a PT in his yesteryears and still maintain a nice, huggable physique even when he is already in his 40’s. :)

Since he knows my involvement in instructorship, he gave me a few useful key points, one of which…

“Instructors, no matter what program you take, should have good figures. When you are flabby and panting on stage, members will have the tendency to question you as you are their role model…”

*nods*

If I were to start on this topic, I would start off with the PTs from The Other Gym I managed to observe back then while obtaining my complimentary pass…

No trace of toned muscles at all!

I can still tolerate with it if it is of an instructor. But PT???

C’mon fellas! Get a grip!

As good citizen of The World, I am trying to motivate a couple of friends of mine, as well as myself. It’s not an easy task, especially when you are on your own. My only motivation now is the fact that I want to look good not only on stage but off-stage as well.

And to make a certain someone drools over my ‘opened chest’. No slouching anymore!

I definitely do not want to look like a chopstick on stage lah kan…

Kita tunggu dan lihat lah nanti jika Kay dapat mengrealisasikan impian dia…

The heat is approaching. I’m going to submit my letter this Friday. Just now, The Office people received a warning not to chat during office hour. R doesn’t bother (but of course la she still obeys the rule). After all, she will be out soon as well.

One job done, one more to go. It’s QC time.

Hana and I are planning to meet the candidate this Friday. Hope the scheduling works. Otherwise, it’s going to be Sunday. The girl has already given me not-so-good first impression. She didn’t score a point on the reply mail as well. Call me Ms. Superbly Particular. When it comes to mannerism, I WILL be strict. Sean will not be able to tolerate on this and she will definitely get a boot. However, Sean is not me and I am not him. I can be a total ruthless bitch but I’ll still give her a chance to impress me during the interview, though I’m putting my hopes on getting more candidates to choose from.

The Quarterly Workshop will be this Saturday. The Jammie Babies are going to have lunch prior to our session at 3pm. I just figured out that my clearance date will be before Release 46! But I’ll definitely get myself cleared before BJ45. Must get cleared cepat-cepat.

I’ll also be hitting Summit this Sunday for my second tt. Am still undecided on which track to select- combo or single track?

This is definitely a busy week for me. From meeting the deadline to gym stuffs and the new job preparations. I even have to ‘recalculate’ the time for my after-work mamak.

Come March, my weekends will be as packed as those of the election candidates. A lot of people are getting married in March. Speaking of marriage, just about last week, I received an SMS from an unknown number, informing me that this couple is blessed with a baby boy. The parents’ names are too alien to me. Not wanting to sound rude, instead of replying using ‘Sapa nih?’ *buat muka sarcastic*, I congratulated the couple.

Good lah… all I need now is plenty of distractions. This brain has been in idle mode long enough.

Finally, after much procrastination (not quite), I’ve made my first appearance on the stage dancing AND TALKING. Oh boy, isn’t it a hard thing to do? It is, at least for a first timer like me. Balancing between moving and wanting to guide requires quite a flexible mind. I need to enroll my brain to yoga classes.

What am I talking about? It’s my very first team-teach that is.

The LM crowd was being supportive enough. My fellow Jam batch (Henry) and my beautiful-hair-superb-dancer HT gave me quite a handful of useful tips on improving my teaching.

And of course la I screwed up kan…

But not THAT horrendous la.

Well, depending on you own interpretation, I personally feel it wasn’t that horrendous.

With Impacto as my opening act, followed by Trash Jam routine, my worries on not being able to get through the 7-minutes Trash Jam without screwing up on the order (as in correct routines at their respective verses) was proven a waste. Well, excluding the part where I did my turn a wee earlier, I managed to execute the correct part at the correct time.

Instead, I did badly on Impacto, the routine I don’t have any issue with.

Apa boleh buat? Bila ke-nerves-an melanda, benda yang biasa buat pun akan jadi tak tau buat.

Hell, I ain’t gonna repeat that again the second round!

Come next week, I’ll do a couple more. Oh and I just remember that it’s the very first 2008 Quarterly this coming Saturday! :)

p/s:

Note to self #1: Walaupun kaki mula cramp sampai rasa otot macam nak terkoyak, DON’T STOP! The brain is a powerful lump of fat! Tell it not to fail you and it will tell your body to hold on longer. (This is only applicable when you are 2 sets away from ending you final Breakout la…)

Note to self #2: Tolonglaaaa work on the stamina…

**************

It’s going to be less than a month before I bid buh-bye to my present job. How time flies. We already received our first respond on the ad. However, I am disappointed on the attitude of the applicant. She didn’t answer our call and only responded with a ‘Sapa ni?’ SMS. Who the hell is she kidding with? She has NO fucking idea that the call she refused to answer was from her potential employer!

Typical brainless bitch!

We’re here, trying to give her a chance of employment but due to her ‘I don’t want to answer any unknown number’ fucking policy, she just gave me a very bad first impression.

Sue me for being a no-nonsense superior! I just can’t tolerate with ill-mannered people!

I still want to keep my options open. After all, we still have another half-a-month deadline to catch.

For those who read this entry and are looking for a job as an Office Admin person, who have good manners and very motivated to improve yourselves, feel free to inform me. If we feel that you have what it takes to join our organization, and have GOOD ATTITUDE, we might just hire you on the spot! Don’t worry, no Trump-style job interview and oh, we don’t wear toupee. :)

Kay despises ill-mannered people!

After 2 weeks of no heels, no walking a mile to the office and no after-work hot showers, I’m back again to the ol’ routine. Too many days of break is not that good for you. You stretch it for another week and the feeling of having to return to work is almost as bad as dragging yourself out of bed when you just have only 3 hours of sleep.

After two weeks of ditching the heels, I’m back wearing one. It’s either the shoes have shrunk or I’m having the pregnant-woman feet.

This is going to be the week. I’ll start to team-teach this Friday. I’ve yet to inform The Head Teacher as well as the Instructor I’m going to collaborate with and I’m not going to delay. Truth is, I need motivation and the motivation can only come when I look for it. Attending Fifi’s class yesterday, nevertheless provided me with enough motivation to start with. Maybe the rest will come once  I get the hang of being on stage. I know I will… :)

On a lighter note, being at home for 2 weeks allowed me to be a successful couch potato, with a Thai series to get me glued from Moday to Thursday at 12.30 pm. And having to miss it when I’m halfway through is NOT a good thing. As I glance to the PC clock, it shows 12.30 pm.

This is the time when I wished this PC has a TV card…

On a more exciting note, 3 of my friends are getting married next month while I am still here, being the oh so desireable bachelorette. Most of the time, the feeling isn’t bad at all but at this particular time, it’s killing me slowly. To make matters worse, I don’t have much distractions to keep me occupied.

Miserable giler!

Wait a minute, that shouldn’t be in the ‘more exciting note’ category!

Ok, the other exciting one (which is for real) is the fact that I’m going to end my working misery soon, or rather, in another a month or so. Eventhough the contract stated that I can provide a 2-weeks notice prior to my resignation, I’m going to preempt the management extra 2 weeks so that they can be mentally prepared. That is also based on the fact that I have another 9 days of annual leave to utilize. To give the notice and have just a few days for the hand-over process will not be fair to the management. This is also to avoid my getting engaged to any long-term projects.

I strongly feel that the management department should be given the minimum of one month notice instead of two weeks… But hey, who am I to complain? Better one than 3, ye dok?

The process of familiarization has already taken place. I am already involved in the works need to be done. Even the 9 days will be utilized on finalizing the operation matters before April 1st.

Looking at the actual situation pun sekarang, I have started the ground work, getting familiar with the business, attending after-work discussions and as a matter of fact, my 9 days will not be spent on goyang-goyang kaki.

Now that’s why I decided not to proceed with the Sarawak plan. Better use the cash to shop for new clothes. :D

And the best thing about this job is, it involves travelling and I can see that my clients are going to be an interesting bunch too.

No more system trainings, no more MoE, no more schools and no more teachers.

I have totally sidetracked from the area I chose for my degree. It will have nothing to do with IT AT ALL.

Who cares! The piece of paper is just a platform for me to get a job. It’s the experience that will drive me further.
