You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

I am cereal. / Saturday, November 03, 2007 @ 12:47 PM
This quiz is right. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. Its light and I usually get to decide what I eat.
After getting a shock with the news that my mum had to retained in the hospital for check up on her high pressure, I decided that I should start to change my diet. Oh, do not worry, I am not going to starve myself, that plan never works, but what I am looking at is replacing some of the food we eat to more healthier food. I thought we have been eating too much fried food, and food with high levels of cholestrol. I made the family switched to wholemeal bread, made sure we drink boiled water (even though still not good enough!!) instead of tap water, change our brand of milk, bought organic food and vegetables and even organic types of cereals for morning breakfast. Cereals are tricky, the most commonly available ones in the market are high in sugar and I had to read the labels carefully before finally deciding to purchase them.
I also thought that if I were to make a change in the family food diet, I have to be the best example right and being unhealthy myself is not a good example at all. I have also limit myself to eating little rice only once a day, for dinner which I will take at about 5.30 pm. For lunch, I brought a tuna sandwich and sometimes, I will also bring vegetable salad so that I will not go too hungry. So far, the morning cereals that I take will usually last me till lunch, which is pretty good. I read that wholegrain cereals that are high in fibre will make you full for a longer time so yay.
You might think that I am obsessing but I think do not want to take my health for granted. Reducing my daily intake of rice was difficult at first but the trick is not to feel hungry because that is when I will start munching. Anyway, I made sure that I take CB Plus before eating rice and it has certainly help me feel lighter. Even though my family have been taking supplements for years, it is still advisable to change our diet, we never know what will happen.
Apart from my mums high blood shocker, I was also inspired by a colleague who had just returned from her maternity leave. She is soooo slim now and she was even slimmer than before she was pregnant. Her diet includes no rice at all! In fact she has not been eating rice for 3 months!! That sounds good I thought but I know that no taking rice at all will be a miserable attempt for me! (from experience haha!) However, since I started this whole new approach to eating right about a week ago, I do feel lighter and my stomach is not as bloated as before, if you know what I mean, haha.
So I received the email from Eleanor to my principal and vice principals about their invitation for me to join the CPD team. So this means, no way out for me? Haha. Its not that I am unhappy about what I will be doing, please do not get me wrong about this. I have no doubts that I will do this job well, because I make it a point to put in a 100% effort in everything I do. I want to excel for myself, not to show others that I am better than them.
However I am still apprehensive on whether I can lead. Like it or not, this is a leader position and I do not get the sense that the whole SNO team is behind me. I do sense that some people are wondering if I will be suitable. I sense doubts. Even though none has voiced their true feelings (except for 1 or 2 people:p) I cannot shake off this feelings of doubt. Call it instinct even though instinct is positive, this is negative.
Furthermore, the recent events in these few months have been rather discouraging. Leadership is influence and I do feel that I have not influence others enough, for their own benefit. Have I lost it? Have I lost the ability to be influential? When people are not being honest with me, is it because of me, I am unapproachable? I need to change?
Nevertheless, this is a temporary challenge. I shall get over this. I shall be the master of emotions and not let myself me drifted away in the uncertainty of tomorrow. I shall remain strong and focus on what can be done instead of what cannot be done.
Competence goes beyond words. It's the leaders ability to say it, plan it, and do it in such a way that others know that you know how - and know that they want to follow you.

I am cereal
You Are Cereal |
 Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day.(In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food.Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance. |
What Kind of Breakfast Are You?
