The wind of change

Like the song, the wind of change is here again. I always think that when a certain event has occured, the wheels have been set in motion for other events to follow. Things could still change in the future but the future are not mine to see. Hence, I will take a course of action which I think would be right for the current situation which I'm in now. Hopefully it would be bring something good for all of us. The decision is mine, the future I leave it up to the big man above.

Fathers day celebration

1. Celebrated Fathers day with the mrs treating me & the clan to lunch at Pizza Uno on Saturday before heading out to do some other chores. Yummy..maybe gained 3 kg due to the hearty lunch...thanks dear

2. Went to the tailor to get the boy & my baju melayu done. This year is golden-ish, as it would double as my sister's wedding theme as well.

3. Can't make it to Ipoh for one of my sidekicks's wedding as I had to be working on Sunday.

4. My parents have gone to Italy (Rome, Venice) before heading to Dublin for yet nother progress visit on my dad's project there.

5. Dip in the pool on Sunday but as usual it was congested, so 1km in 40mins is all that I could manage.

6. Recieved a set of Twilight Quadrilogy from the mrs as father's day present. Somehow I think it was for her to read and for her to justify the purchase. I'm a bit surprised as she's normally not into the horror & gore genre, but the movie must have made an impact on her.

An eventful day - Thursday 18 June 2009

Yesterday proved to be quite an eventful day for me.

1. As I minding my own business driving my way to work using my normal route in a stop & go peak our traffic, I saw this car behind me not stopping in time. I braced myself for impact, but at the back of my head I was thinking, please don't hit my car. The impact was not severe, and having being involved in similar situation I would think that its not going to be that bad. On first account, my car had some scratches which i think can be polished out with the usage of the right chemical and some elbow grease. The other car was worse off, bumper & plate number smashed in, the bonnet was also a bit dented. Seeing that my car was not damaged physically, I decided to exchange contact numbers & details and head back to office.

2. We had some impromptu visit from out northern neighbours. They were in town for some seminar and decided to drop by to see us. I think the session was a very good session and it involves the working level where ideas and inputs were flowing back and forth. True, we have the asean region conferences et al, but that involves top management and everybody was like trying to look good and not telling the whole truth. This working level discussion were more appropriate, but alas with the current trimming of expenditure then, who knows when the next opportunity will come.

3. The dude who hit me called me up saying that he wanted to claim from his insurance the cost of repair. Now it meant that I have to make a police report wrt to the accident as well. Off to Jalan Bandar I went. The report taking was not that long, but to wait for the investigating officer (IO) is another story. Then he wanted me to sketch how the accident happened, which car was where & when. After all that, I still to have my car round the picture hut, with the ulats in tow. They wanted me to send the car to them to be fixed,"Lu bagi lu punya kereta, 2 hari siap, kita kasi kawtim sama itu adjuster mah". I'm seeing Amiaq later to get his input and where reliable to get the job done. Alang-alang dah buat report polis, claim je la....

4. After affairs at the police station have been dealt with, I headed to BJ pool for some unwinding. I took longer than usual to reach the venue. After changing and hitting the pool, my body felt like lead. But after a while the water feel came back and voila, I'm building up speed & distance. At the final whistle, I was no my way to 1975m, which is 39.5 x 50 m laps. The Total Immersion really works. Now i have to improve on my speed work, to meet 1.5km below 45mins.

The day Adi swings to this ...

Updates

Quick updates :

1. School holidays is here but haven't planned anything yet due to a trip away to Kuching at the end of the month. Have to cover for my Unit as 2 members are away for overseas conference. My only overseas trip this year is to Perhentian... huhu ...

2. Went shopping yesterday for the boy's birthday party, managed to get some goodies bag items at quite a reasonable price. Also went shopping for clothes for raya & my sis wedding which should be at the end of the year. Went to KLCC for some more shopping and lunch but couldn't get into Petrosains as they have sold out the tickets.

3. Home PC conked out on me, maybe need new HDD as the current has been quite problematic, anyway its $$$$ flowing out

4. Managed a 1.2 km swim this morning after 3 weeks layoff the pool. First time back in the pool after my open water certification. Now thinking of a dive trip before the season closes. The easiest would be Tioman in July. Any takers?

5. Would be travelling back to Kuantan this weekend for some quite time, missing out on the excitement of the XTerra and photo shoot chances... not in the mind of competing as not in the fit category yet.

6. A step on the scale confirms what I fears the most .. need to loose to additional weight else I wont look good in my next dive trip and would be mistaken for a whale shark?

7. Need to brush up on my short games, driving and iron shots are better now up to a point that my regular kakis suspected me of going for some secret training with a pro. That remarkable improvement ke? If only I could keep up with the 1 up 1 down, & my score would really be reduced.
