Inilah hidup.

I just got my entire February filled with visits, travel, launches, rekkies, and trainings. Ah. The life.
It starts tomorrow, the trip to Sabah, and then the cancelling of my homebound ticket to Kota Bharu because there's the day-ahead trip to my mother hometown (just for a meeting and site-visit)… then the waiting for my fiance to join us on the 4th day of CNY, and of course then, I'll be back to KL preparing for yet another visit to Sabah, and then its back to Kota Bharu again, and then soon, February will be over.
I am honestly not looking to this month. I'm sure I'll survive February, but I'm not entirely sure I'll come out in one piece with the same kind of skin. Plus work scares me. I eat a lot when I'm totally stressed out and when people eat too much they get fat. I don't want to get fat.
I was in the elevator of The Gurney on Sunday when I decided to turn my camera up (it's the new broom sweeps clean syndrome, just had to shoot every thing that's available) and catch a shot of myself in the ceiling mirrors. And I really do like how the photo has turned out to be.
Speaking of mirrors, I was looking myself in the mirror this morning and even though the clothes fit loosely, it seems as if I could sense the fat cells in my blood stream converging to become one. I'm panicking. It's about 10 months to my wedding and I cannot afford to gain weight.
I have one sin when it comes to food. It's rice. And potatoes (very much like my pastor). Wait, yes, that's two sins. I have to put it down here because I don't particularly enjoy desserts (really!) and I'm not exactly a meat person (I can live without it). So this Lent, (the very first full one I'm actually enjoying), I've planned on my abstinence. Actually a week ago I declared my intention to go off rice for the entire Holy Month. And then today suddenly I realize the other vice I had was potatoes and potatoes has to go too.
So this Lent, it's no rice (rice-based noodles and porridge aside) and no potatoes for the entire season. It's going to be difficult.

Surfing blogs again. I was at Earnestly Speaking and I read this post that tickled me to the bone. Inspired to show off, I came up with this off my own version of the Compare People app.

I told Eric he's damn lucky to get me. The first is Kinky Blue Fairy (damn she's hot!) but it's cool to be listed just after her. For someone as old as I am (going on 28 already, shit!), listed as no 2 can be quite ego-flattering yah. I tenkyew friends, it's been a privilege.
I'm going off for a meeting now. They're calling for a launch on February 14th! Gah!

LoL…not sure what I attended, my boss and colleagues encouraged me to follow.Anyway they’ll probably be sending me for basic next, so I may bump into you and at least I’ll know its you this time! :).At this point all I know of Asiaworks is that everybody seemed to be hugging a lot.
