you're the one for me >>
but I do not know who and where you are........... < ">

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.

Get Up! / Sunday, June 28, 2009 @ 10:23 PM
Get Up!


Ooo its Sunday already which means that I go back to work tomorrow!! You know what is so funny is that, even though I still like my job and what I do, waking up in the morning is so difficult when I have to go to work. However, when I had to wake up early to go swimming or go to the gym for classes, its no problem at all!

I guess its that dread feeling especially since I am not ready to begin hectic term and eating packed breakfast and lunches all over again. Its also worse that I have to report to work for duty at 6.30 am! Yes! When its still dark, I have to be at the station, wearing a mask and scanning the temperature of students!

I do not blame my bosses because we ARE in this situation together, but it does dampen our spirits a little. (ok a lot actually)

That is why its very important to keep clean and healthy and since I am in the business of cleaning and being healthy, its a great time for business to grow bigger!

Anyway, since I have not had the time to blog, be prepared to read some randomness out of nowhere.

Ok, we viewed a video of our dear mentors' home on Wed's open meeting. The video was normal, too real for me, they are so normal to me but I keep checking and rechecking with myself whether its true or not I am being mentored by them. Their home was HUGE, and the best part was that Samina said that anybody can achieve this. I realised, now, more than ever, how truly awesome these people are and how I cannot ask for anything better than their love, care and mentorship.

I shall make them proud and being officially part of their LOS in international business is in the pipeline for my team. As long as this has not happen, I continue to feel like an adopted child, desperate to convince my parents that they have made the right decision to 'adopt' me.


On Friday, we attended a recognition meeting and that was soooooooo awesome. It was almost like a party with the confetti and the so many bouquet of flowers. Surrounding us were people laughing, congratulating and taking pictures.

The diamond lady was so young and beautiful to me and I felt so emotional when they presented the bouquet of flowers to their parents and parents in law. I was sitting in the 3rd row so I guess thats why it was extra impactful.

At the begining of the function, the corporation shared this video which made me cry. Aiyo, so tak glamour to cry (I did not even have tissue, was just wiping away tears from my face as much as possible!) during such an occasion but to me, this video was like a message for me, for all the things I went through, am going through and will go through. The message from this video was so in tune with me, it relatable.

The speaker really spoke to me, about getting up. I have fallen down many times, countless times, flat down. Of course at times, it is so difficult to find the strength and hope to get back up, it is certainly easier to give up. But, I know that if I had given up, not only I will not be able to grow, I will be crippled- for life.

Watch it here: Meet Nick Vujicic - The Man with No Limbs


You can get up. It does matter how you gonna finish. Are you going to finish strong? Then you will find that strength to get back up.-- Nick Vujicic

This video, in my perspective, carried with it a whole new meaning. If you do not feel anything after watching it, perhaps you should relook into your life and decide something different for a change.

Get up. Get back up if you have fallen down.


After the meeting, I took the opportunity to celebrate (mini one) Naf's birthday. We are always so busy, we hardly have time to even celebrate birthdays anymore. I had a wonderful time, just remember that one day we will walk at the beaches of the world together, we have no options but to be the success that we constantly talked about.

And we will.

These holidays were so well spent, I am proud of myself for not wasting time. I did have some time to relax and enjoy myself, I had some time to work out (more hours than usual) and I actually enjoy this freedom. As work starts, I have to transform myself from this:


To this! (Oklah, this was during open meeting, I will never wear heals to school, not in a million years.)


I am also in a state of urgency (panic :p) , since Eagle Academy is about 50 days away and there is soooooo much to do. Drive drive drive depth and it shall explode very soon!

Woohoo!
