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.

Sometimes people mistake independence for perfectionism. I do not think so. As much as I would prefer to do all the things myself, I definitely do not aim to be perfect in getting things done.
However, this test is pretty accurate. Its weird lah, because they give you the details based on a picture you chose from. But what is the most true of all from this is that I prefer people to be straight with me, even though the truth may not be the nicest thing to hear.
Dishonesty gets you nowhere.
Wedneday's open meeting was awesome. It was nice to break fast with the team. I must say that we have been pretty busy these few months and rarely get the chance to eat together. I think the last time we ate together was before Summer Conference or was it after BBS? I read somewhere that eating together brings people closer to each other. I for one, hate eating alone, especially outside. You will never find me eating alone outside, most times, I would just 'tapau' food and eat along the way.
The chicken rice at the foodcourt was good. I romantically shared a plate with Naf since I did not want to consume too much rice for fear of falling asleep during the open meeting.
Thursday. I was scheduled to go to CL and HH class at Parkmall so I had already planned to pack food from home before going. However, due to lack of sleep, I was dozing off so right after class ends at 3 pm, and PSP and me as usual do our favourite thing (taking cab home!), after zohor prayers, managed to catch 40 winks. I am not the type to sleep in the day but recently I discovered that taking a short nap in a long day of work is rejuvenating. When I woke up, hurriedly packed my things and food and left.
It was already maghrib before I reached Parkmall so drank a sip of water and continued eating 2 popiah before class starts. I am guilty of eating fried food almost every day this fasting month! Mom's favourite thing to do is to fry food! Aiya! Sometimes really no choice since I am so lazy and preoccupied to go get my own food. It was sufficient, suprisingly. I went on for class as per normal until 9.30 pm.
During the break between the classes, ate my grapes and was approached by this lady who was my partner last week during CL. She remembered that it was fasting month and she was mentioning how amazing it is that I am still there despite fasting month. Cannot afford to break the momentum mah. Even on the way home, got to know a new friend, who was apparently not new to class even though I have not seen her before. I guess I am pretty outstanding in the class since I am the only tudung wearer there! Haha. In fact this lady whom I went home with actually remembered that I am there for class every week and she was also promoting it to her colleague about this girl who, even with the tudung still did not let it get in the way to attending classes and reclaiming good health. I was like 'wahhhhhhhhhhh!' Here is someone I do not even know, who was using me to promote something positive to others. The wonders of the power of influence!
Some were also concerned that I might feel hot but the thing is, you can do anything your mind believe you can. Wearing the hijab should not stop you from exercising, or doing anything of value for that matter. Hijab is meant not obstruct you, but empower you as the muslim women. Be very proud of this identity.
Come to think of it, I think my presence is pretty obvious because I also realised that most instructors, when I was newer, will tend to remember me as the girl in tudung (and also the girl with the knee injury hahaah). This is a good thing because unlike others who only come and go for classes, I try as much as possible to talk to them, get to know them, you may think that its pointless but the added value is that you will form a bond with the people you talk to even though you started off as strangers. Plus, you never know what information or values you may get simply from the short and simple conversations that you have. After all, strangers are friends we have not met yet right?
In my pursuit of health, and the many conversations I have with the ladies there, I learnt that there are many ladies who are mothers, workers and still they are there. Honestly, I am a little turn off when people credit my weight loss to the fact that I am single and do not have family commitments. Ok yes that is true but do not forget that I also have a full time job and I am also building a business which is set to give me freedom. The team is new and I need to put in a lot of work and time too.
People who are free are rarely successful.
Even so, I meet ladies in their 40s and 30s with sometimes 3 children and still they find the time. This lady I was talking to wakes up at 5.30 am to cook for her family before leaving for the gym. That is admirable to me.
Dear readers, its not the situation you are in, its the way you handle the situation. There is always time to do something you prioritise. The trouble is, most people do not know how to prioritise and that is why they conclude that they do not have time.
And as long as they keep making excuses, they will not make it to be the successful person that they have always wanted to be.
My only recommendation is: Stop making excuses, get your butts up and moving!
When I got home from the gym, did my terawih prayers at 11 plus. You can kill 2 birds with one stone, its all a matter of decision.
My weekends for the next 2 weeks are fully booked with Eagle Academy happening next weekend. The names of the speakers are out and yay very exciting! I can hardly wait!
First. Home meeting tomorrow. I am saddened that I cannot show the board plan but the great thing about being in the britt team is that, someone is always there to support you when you are not able to make it.
Be there! Woohoo!
