News news... and decision

Share some recent news, good as well as bad.... Lets start with the Bad then.... Economy, guess everyone have been concern over it... as the financial tsunami from America finally hit our shores... The impact is really great, the damages cause, the loss in monetary value and all... and unemployment rate likely to go up... OMG.... Not that it affects me much, but still.. can feel the pressure lor... much more now then when I am a kid.... hahaha like duh, then I dun have to earn my own living in that sense.... Today's news paper, IR no likely to open as plans, as works have been delayed for few months. In that case why did we strink our course, I wonder.... My course was initally scheduled for 3 years, and we had to compress everything to 2 years, having struggle 4 modules a sem each sem lasting about 4 months. ITS ALL A RUSH MAN!!!! and now this.... plus the recent internship drama, most hotel rejecting coz the 3.5 months is too short a time, so why not increase it back to 6 mths!!! haiz... I know many things is out of my control and honestly I like typical human, when things goes smooth keep quiet, but when it goes wrong, will be eager to voice out... but what else can we do?

Anyway thats the Bad news, for the good news, nothing much to do with my studies, just more to the removal of the 30cents fuel charge. Its just takes one company to do so before the others follow suit... hahah seeing how the biggest taxi company kana shoot in today's paper, commoners being interview were disappointed that the company that proposed to take away the fuel charge is from a smaller company, when the one anxious to implement it then was the biggest company... hahaha ironic isn't it? hehez.. but nevertheless, at least its 30 cents lighter for out pocket... dun tink it does make a difference... it does man!!!

Fairprice continue to give discount on its items... so help the public, I guess its an appropriate time they did it as it not only help us as consumer, but also used this chance to gain back some market shares from intensive competition as supermart starts springing up everywhere!!!

Back to the IR delay thingy.... now that it is likely there will be delay in the launch in the Marina Bay one and soft launch going on the Sentosa one in 2010, I am considering if I should take my education one step further.... I am talking about doing Honors program... The course that I am currently doing does not come with an honors program, as in not compulsory. But beginning this sem I recieved a letter from the school (SCU that is) to do their honors program (heng heng only lah =P). Suprise yet elated... but after much consideration, still make me very lost as to whether or not to take it up.

First, finance, if I take it, I have yet to find out how much its going to cost me. the current course have already build up such a 'debt' for me already. The offered scholarship only cater to their local students... which means no point for me to apply...

Second, Time, a full time honors will take me a year (commencing 2009) and part time will be 2 years. Likely going for the former lah... but if it includes part of my attachment and final sem, which can be pretty tough altogether...

I have a month to consider... i really donno, its very pressing, yet... i think i should do so... what should i do....

Back to square one...

For many that has been wondering what really happened after my 16th week of training. Disappointingly, I was not able to keep up my momentum, and yes... I have slacked back in shape... My best shape will be in week 9 which look something like this

Since then, I kept things up but gradually slacked off in terms of committment. I know it is an excuse, but things slipped since I started school again (started the regime during holidays), the amount of commitment to working out shorten as my emphasis went to my studies... I am returning to my old ways, rather then just grabbing my shoes for a run when i feel like, I would consider, then look at the gloomy sky and think twice. This usually ends up in not running, after convincing myself that it will rain, and pfft, normally it does not....

Many of my frens say i have "bulked up" something I dun mind, but I know its because I am growing sideways. Understanding that I already face dieting issues during my 16 weeks training, I was still able to compensate as the regime i gone through was able to compensate for my lousy diet control. But as things turn bad with my regime, the balance start to tip and so did my weight. I would I happy with no gaining any weight, but am not happy coz I have not lost any too. (considering I was close to 72 kg at one point of time and now i am 76kg). I try convincing myself I have gain muscles, but honestly, who am I kidding... HAHAHA

Its is true that to attain a balance and get the tone body one wants... is a combination of DIET + HARD WORK. This is the old school and health way to do things lah... I mean there is of course the "manufactured" methods... which comes with a cost lah... I am a classic example of this formula coz I can never get myself into the perfect triangle lor. The formula to good health and a nice body is a balance of DIET, CARDIO, and WEIGHTS Training. Sounds simple, very hard to achieve...

For everyone's information, my tummy is back... bigger then ever... so yah... doubt will be posting any pic here for now, won't want to scare the daylight out of anyone... hahaha

Will continue to battle... I believe I will attain it one day.... JIA YOU BA!!!!
