Weighty Issue

8 months ago, I posted an entry that I was sick and I lost some weight and one of my new year resolution was to lose weight.

I weighed myself these few days and I am now at 74kg. I was 84kg about 1 year back, when I was working. That’s about 10kg in 1 year! Nicole must be pissed off right now.
I thought working people is thinner because of the stress and also the challenges.

I know my weight losing is due to my health problems, it is also due to proper diet and less meals every day.
You see, since I have difficulties walking, I didn’t go for late night suppers and stuff these past couple of months and my mum has been controling my diet at home. I’ve had less oily food, more vegetables on my dining table and more fruits these days.

I’m also eating a lot less these days, partially due to my lost of appetite. I don’t know why but I don’t feel like eating. Maybe it’s because of the medication that I am taking.
Anyway, I am rushing for my assignments right now. Maybe I’ll lose some weight because of the stress I am going through with my assignments.

It’s that time of the semester again!

Yeah, it’s assignment time!

At the beginning of the semester, i told myself that I have to start and complete the assignment earler to avoid any last minute mistakes.  I think that didn’t go through to my head.

I have two assignments due 14th August, slightly more than 1 week from now, and I have not started a single thing.  I have not even looked at the assignment questions yet.

I think I’ll have to start tomorrow!

Cards

The other day when I had a gathering with Rachel and friends, everyone started handing out namecards. Nicole gave me her name card as well. I thought it was a namecard from her company but it wasn’t. It’s a namecard she printed herself, with her blog address, contact number and E-Mail address.

I wanted to do something like this long time ago but I have no idea what to put on the name card, other than the usual “Name”, “Contacts” and stuff. I didn’t have a company name to put, I don’t have a position I could put on the name card.

Some of you might not believe this, but when I was working, I was never given a name card. Every time my suppliers asked for a name card, or my company’s address/phone/fax numbers, I would either write it down on a piece of recycled paper, or write it down on my suppliers’ notebooks, or get my company’s letterhead, cut out the bottom part where the company’s details are there.

I remebered there was this one time, my boss asked me to attend this event where there were lucky draws and stuff. I need to throw my name card into the box. I took a few of my boss’ name cards, use a marker pen to strike his name off and write my name there. When I was registering for the event at the front door, the lady looked at my name card and then looked at me as if I was some sort of event crashing guy. I wasn’t surprised at her reaction, I would do the same thing either.

To me, a name card is something like a first impression to people. The design of your name card, your position, the company you work for, your phone and contact number and other stuff. I don’t know about others but I analyze a person’s name card and I can tell a lot about the person.

For example, your E-Mail address. If a person from this average-mid company gives me his name card, but is using a Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail E-Mail address, something must be wrong somewhere. It’s either the company doesn’t have a domain name in this information technology age or the company is not professional enough to register a domain name. If the design of the name card is just ordinary, it either means the company is cutting cost, or it simply means the design sucks. You’d be surprise to find a whole lot of information just from a name card.

I would really like to have a name card of my own. I know it’s not too expensive to print a box or two, it’s the design of the name card and the stuff that I am going to put in to the name card. I don’t know how to start. Nicole is a girl, she could afford to put stuff like flower-ish pattern thingy, I can’t. She is a travel blogger and her real profession is a writer, I am nothing.

The cards that I have in my wallet are:

My MyKad and my Driving License

Some Loyalty Cards

Bank Cards

Credit Cards

Last but not least, recently I’ve been visiting the doctors and medical centers more often than visiting my grandmother, so I’ve got a lot of appointment cards in my wallet.

These cards are not for distributing because they do not contain my phone number and they are my personal stuff!

Anyway, I really wish that some day, I could have my own name card, with a proper design that shows my profesionalism.

YEAH RIGHT!

Transformers – Act 2

You know this was coming! Who in the right mind would buy an Optimus Prime but doesn’t buy a Megatron? They have to be together, to fight and to see who’s best!

After my brief encounter with Optimus Prime yesterday, I took whatever money I have and went out to buy myself a Megatron!

I just couldn’t resist to have only Optimus Prime in my collection. I now have Megatron as well!

Megatron was dead after being screwed by Optimus Prime and the world is at peace again.
