shields

After solat, I head to DBS bank to open a new account. I decided, I need to discipline myself to start saving. One way is to open another account, whereby the funds there would not be touched unless in case of emergency. I also signed up for health-shield by Aviva, cos I'll be going for 2 surgeries, at least with this policy, it'll help me pay my hospital bills and because of it, I wouldn't be using my medisave solely which might be needed when I get old. for a small sum per year, I think the coverage for hospitalisation is pretty worth it.

I'm also considering the Mysavings account cos it has double the interest of an ordinary account. However that will have to wait till next time. Next is the travel insurance, I'll get that for my 1week trip, just in case.....hehehe...

I also am considering for life insurance....I don't know yet, I'll consider that before my 30th birthday. That can wait. cos now at least I'm covered with the health-shield for hospitalisations and medical treatment.

soak up the sun hombre....

Running is mainly to keep fit and keep off the pounds from calling your body home. To me my morning run is alot more than that. It keeps my sanity to an acceptable level.

Somehow, running is a sort of therapy for me. Running by the beach in the morning soothing sun helps is just so relaxing. Plugging in to my mp3 to rad tunes from my itunes and just enjoying the push. Of course the priority is to shed pounds and keep myself fit especially in my line of work as a nurse and especially in a psychiatric setting, whereby you need to be vigilant, alert and fit. But the end of the routine is alot more than just that.

My running routine would start off psyching myself up to the tunes, focus and try to improve my fitness and stamina every run at the same time enjoy the beach, the sun and people watching. After the run, follows the hearty breakfast...like today the hotcakes were fresh and ultra yummy....that is satisfying and it compliments the achievement to shed almost a minute off my 4.5km route.

The walk back to where I park my bike is where all it happened. The thoughts, the deep, deep thoughts. Self-reflection, plans and thoughts for the future. It's like an emotional rollercoaster ride. My life ain't perfect and the many imperfections made me wonder sometimes why....but then I always pull myself back up to think that theres alot more souls out there whose worse off. Then came the happy thoughts, the people around me, the people who stood by me, the people who made me happy. Then came the angry thoughts, the people who pissed me off, the hypocrites, the faith-monger, the tales-teller, etc but then I always end that by reminding me what goes around, comes around......God is great. Then came to my physical state, bad knee, bad eyes....I want to be in the pink of health, fully mobile, I wanna skate, run, race, I wanna do what I love to do and perhaps God will answer my prayers....Then came the plans for the future, what should I do, what can I do better, what I shouldn't wait so long to do.......

After all that, it makes me feel alot better cos I get a bigger, better picture of my whole life....With all that, I am starting to enjoy my morning runs cos it benefits me alot more than just being fitter but also happier. Though running with Ain is alot of fun too cos now, she's my joy, she's the one that kept me up, kept me going and most of the time prevented me from being down. Unknowingly she helped me alot in life, she kept me focus, she too sometimes bring me back to reality.

Theres alot to say, alot in mind but we only got 24hours a day that God granted us and out of that 24hours 4-6 hours is already spent on shut-eyes. another 8 odd hours at work and that left us with 20 more hours whereby they past pretty fast like in a blink of an eye. We are humans after all, do the best but do what you can, don't push yourself to the edge.

Here's what I wanna do in the near future. I hope, really hope after my second surgery I'd be able to do physical activities as before, as I was an army boy back then where by runs doesn't end with an ache in the knee, where my eyes doesn't tire after 8hours of video games. Yes, it's the work of nature thru wear and tear but God doesn't encourage resentment, rather He wants his beings to be strong and face the challenges and that is just what I will do. Life is short, I probably would've have spent half of my lifetime already if I were destined to be alive till 60. That meant I only got 3decades more to enjoy life, of course if I live longer I will appreciate it but I hope if I do, I wanna be as independent as I can. Life is indeed short so why brood over nothing, over negativities when there are so many positivities and posibilities to explore.

I am glad to where I am today. I am thankful to God, Alhamdullilah. I hope to contribute more, I hope to live life to the fullest. I hope to be a good muslim. I hope to be remembered by future generations. It's hard to be 100% positive nowadays but I am trying my best and I hope I emit all these positive energy to the people around me and may they be filled with positivity.

Keep the faith.

100bucks

Usually u'd be delighted when u get a voucher worth $100 but it's actually adding headaches. With the variety of choices of mobile phones in the market, I just couldn't decide which one to get. It'll certainly help if Starhub sells Iphone....ok so it doesn't have Iphone. I'm torn whether should I get a phone at all. Aside from Apple, I love sony-ericsson and I am one who would stick to a particular brand for a very long time if it has no hiccups.

Later I will just head down to TM-Starhub and just try my luck trading in my w380i(cos there are 2 tiny cracks, probably from dropping it a couple of times). If it is tradable and I can use the $100 voucher and retain or renew a mobile plan...I'll get that Nokia-E71 or that Nokia5800 although E71 is way cheaper but I wanna have a look at N5800 first although high possibility I might not get it cos of budget constraints. However it is, I will go to TM-Starhub either tommorow or the day after.

Or will I give in to the darkside? LoL.....
