Totz for the nite

It is already a week that the puppy went to my uncle's place and finally, settling down in my friend's place. This coming weekend is time to bring the little pup for her vaccination, breed identity and tagging. And thank God that all is well with this little one. Well, I am glad that she's doing well. I can't wait for Saturday to see the little puppy again. Oh yah.. Her name is Brownie!! Though she has a black tail, she's still brown so that's her name.. Wanted to call her Herbie or Sherbie or whatsoever, and since her name is called Brownie, I've decided to stick with that.. Sounds better anyway..

I had a good chat with my team leader today and we were talking about an ex-boss. Felt a little sad coz I heard that she's in her final stage of cancer and now living her last moments.. We started to think about our own lives too and concurred that we spent too much time in our work. Time had lost and now I've decided to slow down.. After all that senseless comments made by my dept head, it's not justifiable to have my health impacted and social life being affected. It's not worth while to let my health fail becoz of work without any recognition.

My other colleagues from other dept got promoted for the effort they've put in while the rest of us got peanuts for the same amount of effort put in. We came to a conclusion that the dept head is not appreciative of our effort in getting things done. Since that, there's no point in helping him fulfill his KPI this year. Unfortunate for him but it's a gain for me. I've gotten the experience I wanted and now I can move on for better challenges with better benefits. I believe that this year, I should be moving out of my company for a better career prospect with good position and good benefits that will also allow me to have good time management for family, friends and ultimately church activities.

Even if there isn't any, I will still wait for the opportunity and hope for the best in days to come. Just recently, I made a very cynical remark.. There's a new group of 10 new-joiners.. I asked my admin colleague about their date of resignation.. Everyone who heard that couldn't take it and burst out laughing. Well, as far as I see in my dept, 8 out of 10 quit after a few months. And all of them commented that the stress level in this dept is too crazy. I can say that it's really true.. The stress level in my dept is ultimate high as every issue must be resolved within a certain timeline.. otherwise, face the music.. No wonder my BP was so high abt 2 mths back.. Gosh.. If I didn't stop and rest, I might not be around for long.. Thank God for the rest that He gave me (not that high BP thingy..)

In fact, now I've been swimming pretty regularly and I'm getting tanned each time.. Cool!! I love that!!! Now I can see muscles building up instead of fats and soon, the fats in my body will be dispelled. Praise God!! The only thing now that I'm getting nagged at is having to skip most of my meals.. Well.. the ultimate part is I don't get hungry... For instance, I had 2 roti-pratas this morning, 3 sweets, 2 oranges, 1 Yakult, and chicken soup without rice in the evening.. Gee.. That's all I had for today.. And I felt great!! I noticed that my food intake was very little lately and i didn't feel depressed or whatsoever..

It may be due to my swimming routine that got the fat-burning engine moving and my body seemed to be making use of the body fats for energy. I guess it could also be the rich nutrients from the oranges that sustained my body needs. I can't wait for my next swim tomorrow!! Whoppie!! Well, the main thing is that the double chin is sorta disappearing and the brown patch on my leg is also disappearing..

Ha.. My colleagues were so curious about my recent change and they thought that I had a boyfriend.. Well.. yah.. a Boyfriend in Heaven who sacrificed Himself for me. Better still a Husband who sacrificed Himself for me.. I'm happy that Jesus is in my life.. And also, I'm too glad that the sermon which Pastor Lian preached last Sunday. That spoke right through into my heart esp the section about the people of Israel being led into Rephedim. Seemed to me that I'm in the same situtation.. And now that the Lord is standing there at the rock, it is the same picture that Jesus is at the rock receiving the punishments on my behalf and out flows from Hm, the water that replenishes my soul, body and mind..
