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.

Hello world!
Its a Sunday afternoon and I am home for the first time in many many many Sundays. Its mainly because the month of Ramadhan is here and my team mates and me had to redirect all appointments to night time or weekends. Its a good change and we shall not let this be a challenge or even obstacle to our growth.
Finally 2 whole days of sitting at the staircase are over. Thank goodness we do this once a year! Thank goodness too, I had very good company throughout the duty. One of my colleagues kept saying that I have been a good inspiration for her to lose weight herself. Its awesome. I think on Thursday and Friday were the 2 days with the most number colleagues coming up to me and telling me I have lost so much weight.
Thank you. Its a planned event. I was a bit worried after dropping the first 5 kg really quickly in the first 2 months, because the workouts were becoming easy and I thought I needed to increase the intensity a bit in a order to burn a substantial amount of weight. I was right. I think throughout the whole process, I have always had the goal in mind. Lose 1 kg in every 2 weeks. Its worked out really well so far probably due to the momentum that I have kept going. My colleague even said that the drop was quite drastic, but for me who is the one DOING it, it was not drastic at all. Hard work I must say, I was able to successfully educate myself to feel disgusted with too much food. But I think the best reward of all is that..........I can cheat every now and then and not feel too bad about it. I think last week I had pizza and this week some fried food. Just needed to make sure its kept in moderation.
I also think its a good idea to associate with people just like me and there are tons of people like that in the gym I go to. Some of them were saying that there was no point continuing the way we have been eating after working so hard in the gym. So every time I felt like indulging, I recalled the hard work in the gym. Redirect focus to something else. You really do think like the people you mix with.
My initial goal was to reach the 10 kg mark. I am very very close.
To achieve my goal, I decided not to take the leave from gym during the fasting month. I felt there was no need. I did tried it out last week doing 2 hours of workout with no water and I survived. Yay! Sooooooo yesterday, did 2 hours and I survived too. I was about to go for the 3rd class but decided that I shall try that next week. However, I am reducing the frequency so that I can do terawih prayers on certain nights. In fact, I do feel greedy so even though I come home late from workout or meetings, I do not see why I cannot do my terawih prayers.
My goal is to do terawih prayers at least 80% of the time.
Update on last week's coverdish!
Thanks to lovely Naf who took the pictures! I, on the whole, learnt so much and once again Eddie and Margaret's wisdom rubbed onto us. I think people outside will not understand what it really mean to have someone, a total stranger, treat us like family and care about us and our future. Not even some of my family members can understand me like them and that to me is how important this britt family is. Many of you may agree that we have grown so much throughout the years but the reason why we grew towards that desired direction is because of the care, love and time selflessly given by this couple. I have never met anyone who have done so much for me, and in return, gain nothing but my respect, admiration and love. Everytime I leave their house I feel equiped with knowledge and empowered to go out there and get things done so as to achieve my dreams.
I hope you value their time too, and tap into their wisdom that they have chosen to share with us.
I also hope that our new team mates will get comfortable with this team because this team is rocking and growing big time. This team will shape our future.
PASE. I was incredibly touched by Ender's story about their visit to Sister's Island. I look at his team and I know that, that is the exactly the direction we are heading towards. Strangers by blood, but family by relationship.
Eagle Academy is almost here. I cannot tell you enough to be there. It will be the most awesome nights of your life! We used to travel overseas to see Kumar speak and it was totally worth every cent. I hope you make a decision to be there, and make it a point to block out everything else for this exciting event because I can promise you that when you are there, your life will be changed and you will leave the place a different person.
I can share with you the stories, the facts, the teachings, but I simply cannot share with you the excitement. YOU have to be there yourself. For second timers at Eagle Academy, you know how heart pain it is if you come without a team. Last year's Eagle Academy was so emotional to me (yes there was crying) because I was so dissapointed with myself for not going Eagle that month. My uplines were here in Singapore and I was not able to make them proud. That event was the thing that I needed to push me to go Eagle the following month.
You may need this push too. So aim to be there for your sake, do not miss it for the world.
