Universal lessons In my short 26 years, I’ve notice there are a number of universal lessons that can be applicable to all areas of my life. Be it training, career, church and at home. One of the lesson is being positive in all circumstances. This weekend, I was hammered with another lesson. Excellence Sat night, I had a called from my boss’ wife requesting a meeting with me. Obviously...
Last Sat I never got a chance to post this because the pics are at home. I usually blog at work on my *ahem* lunch. Enjoy… The b-day girl!! The family (Dada, Bean, Mama and Mama’s Mama). The parents are one of the humblest people I know.Kids these day. I never got a cell phone on my first b-day. I don’t think cell phone was invented on my first b-day 😀For your information: Sibby...
Clutter During the weeks prior to The Canadian Half Ironman, my mind was sharp.I had one focus, get through today’s training, rest up and get ready for tomorrow. Even though I am tired and weak at times. I crave it. Get up, hit the pool, work, run/bike, eat, sleep. Rinse and repeat. For the past few weeks in my off-season, my mind was dull. I am mentally and physically tired. I can’t...
Ups and downs. I had an interview yesterday. It is the second interview. It was an hour long. It felt much longer than that. There were two interviewers, an HR lady and the Project Manager. A lot of questions on soft skills and my previous experiences. Coming out, I have no clue how it went. I have some good answers and some not so good ones. Today, they email me that they have selected someone...
Of Ego and Man… Ego talk 1: “My my b-day this year, I rode 200 km. So what about next year? What’s the challenge? 225 km? 250 km? That sounds too easy. How about 300 km? After all, if Faris Al-Sultan go 300 km on his long ride, why not me?“ Reality: “Ahem, do you know how big his aerobic base is compare to yours. If you bust your legs riding 300 km, you probably have...
If you are an Ironman, Or training to become one or know one or a tri geek, you know this Saturday is a big day. It is the 2006 Ironman World Championship at Kona, Haiwaii. The fittest, toughest and strongest athletes of our times are going to swim against the current, ride against the wind that are strong enough to pick you up and run through the lava heat. My first memory of Ironman Kona was...
So what do you do now? There isn’t much going on around here. Actually something is brewing. I ain’t spilling yet :). Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for 20 min and went to swim for 20 min. I spent most of my time counting my steps. Left knee ache in the first 5 min. It was fine afterwards. Barely broke a sweat and I have to stop. Hit the pool for a quickie. Worked on some drills as...
Unconditional Love Some of the best ideas and thoughts I have are usually right before I sleep. I would lie in my bed try to relax. But the brain keeps running. As you can imagine, sometimes it can take me a long time to actually fall sleep (especially when I am not dead tired from training). I need to find that on/off switch to my brain. I do my daily devotion before I go to bed. I am reading...
Interview… Thanks for everyone’s concern and prayer. I am doing alright. It is a time for me to reflect. About my life. My family. My future family….. Today, I had a job interview. The position is a mix of IT and Marketing. It was fun. I know. I am so weird. I actually enjoy interviews when most ppl dread it. Maybe b/c it is the thrill, the excitment, the anxious feeling. Well I...
Sick in the stomach. This is how I have been feeling the whole day. Sick in the stomach. It has nothing to do with what I ate. My Dad told me on Sat my Grandma is in the hospital and the doc is not expecting her to make it. I was talking to my cousin last night and he was telling me Grandma has been in and out of the hospital for the past year or so. And ever since then, things deterioriated. My...
