Hey all,
Just a quick post on Monday (urgghh the weekend is always seems so short!!)
Last Saturday, Chris from supricky06 posted his video for A Capella cover of Adele's Set Fire to the Rain.
Honestly, I have never liked Adele's songs or voice. It's not my cuppa tea.
So when Chris announced that he will cover Adele's song, I was like 'mmeehh'. I'm not against the choice, because he knows what works in Youtube, and as Adele is growing stronger with the latest Brits Award (after the Grammy), so this would do good.
I was really hoping that Chris will do his version and not like some other Youtube artists who tried to sound like the original artists.
When Chris posted his version on SoundCloud, I was suprised. It turned out really damm(sic) good!!!!!!!!!
Chris is now listed in voices of angels in my list LOL, next to Josh Groban and Il Divo ahahahhaha
As I listened to Chris cover, I didn't think that it is Adel's song. It is like a totally new song! Oh well, I'm an exagerate mess, but you get the idea.
Here is the video of A Capella:
Oh and he also did cover of Jason Mraz's "I won't give up".. Also so effing cool! I (and I think many others) suggested this song. Personally, when I heard Jason's singing this song, I knew that it will suit Chris.
Lookit up in Youtube! for "supricky06"
Cheers!!!!

Wondering Wednesday
It has been 2 months now that I started the new job. The wondering has stopped by itself. And last night I started to have dream about my job. Hahaha This is expected.
The work starts to pile up but so far I managed to follow-thru with the tasks. I know that I am not fully given the tasks, but I think I'll manage.
Yesterday I get a phonecall from someone at work asking stuff. And the person informed me that for a beginner, I am very natural at my work, and it looks like I have been doing the job for long time. :-)
This is such a refreshing compliment, and of course I thanked the person and hope to improve more as the time goes-by. Just hope that my boss gets to hear this hahahahaha
Anyway, more things to look forward to.
Happy Hump Day!

wHump Wednesday - Happy Hump Day!
Woohoo!! First concert of the year is Boyz II Men. After 20 years, I get to these guys live. I had to take the seat at the balcony due to my toe, but it's worth it. I was singing and smiling from start til the end.

Mo mo Monday - What's going on?
Small update on what's going on, that we are in the 4th week of 2012... It has only been 4 weeks? Feels like ages hhhehehe
Anyway, I have started my new job. So this week is my second week. Still in the transition from the 'honeymoon' phase to the 'accepting new job' phase. I got the rush when my boss informed me that he decided already project for me to takeover... huhuhu Today, the assistant showed me how to do some documentations, and so involved indirectly looking at all sorts of projects documentation. I'm so pysched!!!! People are nice, well they usually are. So I'm blessed. The work condition is great and I sensed that my boss is a professional one :D
One fine day I will write more about this new environment.
I got the company car. And yes, I have been driving. It took me about 45 mins door to door, which is not bad. I enjoyed going out at 7am. Although, you know me, I am nervous when driving, but I think I get used to it. I have to remind myself to keep the speed limit, and do things slowly. Fuh fuh fuh....
On 4th January I had a minor surgery. It supposed to be minor minor, but it ended up to be well, minor-major one. I thought I only have blister or wart on my right big toe,but as the doctor removed it, he discovered that it's a cyst. So I got stitches and all that. My first stitches!! huuhuhuhu So I am out from gym since then. GGgrrrr I really need cardio. I think this week I can go back to Body Step. GGaaahhh
Oh and with my new job, as I can't guarantee to be there befoere 6pm, so they are giving away my BS classes to someone else. Booooo!!!
Ok That's all for now. Tomorrow is another day.

Makan-makan Mardi - 80/20 rule
It sucks, but that's the fact. The way of maintaining your weight or desirable weight is 80% via nutrition (or diet, is not so taboo), and 20% of exercise.
Amazingly, both are very hard to do. Even an exercise junkie like me would admit that doing the 20% exercise is hard. As a person who likes food, watching what you eat is even harder.
At the moment, I am at the point of panic, because after 1 year of losing 13 kilos and physically looking great, I started to feel the tinge of increase of weight. I like my success and I want to stay as it is.
Luckily, my journey was a pleasant one. Meaning that I lose weight by keep eating, but not eating ALL that I want to. As I looked in my supply shelves this morning, I suddenly realize that I have been collecting the things that I should not be eating: various chips, various nuts (although this is good, but eating when I'm not suppose to) and various chocolates. I have to put stop on this. But of course, who will be eating those things? I need to eat those things to avoid waste!... This is bad, really bad.
So before I'm losing all my efforts and that it just about to start (the weight gain, I mean), I better act now!
It will be difficult, as I will start new job next Monday and I don't know what they have for lunch, the stress, and the new schedule. But I must do something!
Again, I know it is difficult to maintain, and that is why we have people who are happy to have the extra kilos in them. But not me. I am happy the way I am physically during January 2010, and I won't stop till I get the good 80/20.
In addition, it is good to start living healthy and that is my resolution as well. Just need to remember to not side-track too far! :D
You go girl!!!!

Mellow Monday
Today is the last Monday that I will work in this office. :D
It is not my first time changing job, but still the feels of lost, excited, hopeful and worry are all over me. I know that it is for the best! So I must go for it! And this comes from someone who is in this position for almost 3 years. I cannot imagine how it would be if I am in this position for more than 5 years like most of my current colleagues here. Must be tough eh?
It is always the same countdown:
- This morning will be the last monday morning that I take the route to my work. Next Monday I will be driving to work. For the first time!!!!
- This afternoon is the last Monday lunch that I will have at the usual café. Next Monday lunchtime I would be eating in a caféteria. For the first time!!!!
Ok I only made it to after lunch HAhahaha... But will I have the same freedom to blog from work? Hmm. We will see. I do hope that I get an office by myself. I forgot to glance over when I was there for interview.
As the day goes by, the faces of my current colleagues seems to fade away, and the new bosses and colleagues become more and more realistic. Yeah I had interview with my immediate boss, his boss and a colleague.
Honestly, I don't know what I will be doing exactly and how to workload would be. I just keep reminding myself of the general things that I gathered from my past experience.
- If you don't know, ASK
- If you in doubt, SHOUT
- If you are uncertain, DISCUSS
My problem is that I would like to proof myself that I can do it, that I tend to close myself from colleagues. I will remember to avoid that and be more open when not certain. Not all questions are dumb and you live and learn.
To make things kinda mellow for me. I am not 100% myself.
Five days ago I had a minor surgery at my right big toe. I thought it was a wart, but then the doctor discovered that it is a cyst. So I had this big chunk part of my big toe, and all stitched up.
I hope that there is nothing serious about the cyst and that it was completely removed. I don't mind the pain but it is more painful that I cannot exercise or do my bodystep for more than 2 weeks! Bouhouhou!!!!
Fingers crossed my peeps.
XOXO
