At times like these (i)

At times like these, I hate my job.

I have been trying to get a fax across to India for the last 2.5 hours, and it's not going through! And I can't email because there is no internet access there. And I HAVE to get it to that party by today, like NOW. There is something due tomorrow.

So here I am sitting, wanting to go, but I can't because I am responsible. Thinking of what I am missing at the meeting I am supposed to be at, but thinking amounts to nothing sometimes. Fretting about the other kinds of work that I also need to finish by tomorrow but I can't get down to doing it because I am so restless with hoping that the fax would quickly go through so I can go for my meeting!

Chennai!! Come on, which part of India is that??



Grrrr!

Shrimp Running on a Treadmill



This is real farnee! No need to adjust your volume cuz this thing plays without sound. At one point in time, the camera zooms on the shrimp, not unlike an olympic runner making his dash at the 400 m sprint. hahaa.. Apparently, there was this scientific experiment conducted on shrimps, and this tread mill thingy actually improves the shrimp's overall well being. (I think it would also make the shrimp taste better)

On the subject of treadmills, I should be ashamed. I am paying for a gym membership across my office but I think I can count with all my fingers and toes, the number of times I have gone in the last year. Tis' most terrible I must say, wasting money like pouring good soup down the sink. But yes, the times I went to the gym, I fell off the treadmill before. Hurhurhur. If enough people ask, I will blog about that!

My brother!! must be one of the most disciplined persons I know, he trains like everyday. Some days he trains twice a day! He is an amazing young man (and I must also add, very handsome).

I wonder if athletic genes are recessive, since I apparently do not share his athletic finesse? I wonder what I would look like if I was training like him? Well, whatever. I just ordered pizza!

I have Self-Control

Look what I found whilst I was out.



For the benefit of my many dear male friends, I've taken a shot of what caught my eye EXACTLY.



I went in, walked around, tried on stuff, and walked out again.

I didnt buy a thing!

Think my Financial Planner would have been proud of me. You ought to too!
