if you can't win it, don't lose it.i watched 'eye for a guy' last night. gosh! are those guys for real or do they have a script to follow? it's like committing the worst mistakes while trying to impress a woman. jealousy, sarcasm, narrow-minded and back stabbing. oh god. wake up. generousity will certainly impress denise keller. i'm sure of that. sometimes, whatever you feel like doing at the spur of moment, control it and do the opposite, it will bring you butterflies!
so, after the show, i thought of the qoute above. this guy called daniel pulled denise aside and complain about the other guy. he know he can't win that guy but he don't have to stoop so low to lose the ball game altogether. stupid. anyway, the qoute reminded me of what my seniors taught me. he was giving us an example like how if we finished a project and people didn't appreciate much, don't go around trying to promote your project. because maybe the management has already noticed it and felt that it was good (just that they have no time to comment yet), and if they see you promoting yourself, it's just such a turn off. isn't it? so all the credits will go down to drain!
changes are good.
ever since i picked up the pace of training again, i felt good. i felt wonderful. for instant, i do not indulge in some extravagance lifestyle no more. i actually take public transport(buses and trains) to and fro work now. i spend less. or rather, i save unless there's absolute need to spend. i train right after work. well, that's something i have never done before. to carry all the gears to work and go to the pool right after. i motivate myself. basically, life just turn for the better.
maybe it's the charity thing. it made me realised that sometimes, we are not just living for ourselves. life is just not about how happy we are. it brought a whole new meaning to the chinese phrase, "giving is more than taking".
well, on that note, believe or not, my weekends are now packed with charities. this weekend, i'm going to help out with some organisation of family day. and i just called Touch Community to volunteer my service for the mini-triathlon they are organising for the diabetes next weekend. and the best thing, they might need some help in forming a full relay team. now, i'm thinking, if i were scheduled into the team, there will be a brand new motivation to swim, bike or run faster! it's good. life is good.
on that note, i would encourage you guys to help out at Singapore Triathlon. it include some attractive allowances. visit
