Stress gastric

I have not been skipping meals for a long time and I was wondering how come I still get gastric.

Until my recent outstation trip....... I realise that what's causing the pains is stress! I had killer pains during dinner and it lasted until I reached LCCT. Once I step into my husband's car, the pain was gone! Well, maybe the gastric pills took some time to be "effective" but I have a suspicious feeling it is the stress.

I wanna make sure the pains don't come again but what can we do in this highly stressed up world. Everyday I tell myself "do not stress" but the environment doesn't allow it. Even if I don't work and stay home, there will be the bored kind of stress so yeah there's no escaping it until I find a method to relax myself.

GO MANCHESTER UNITED

Can Manchester United do it? It will be great to surpass Liverpool's stupid title record which they have been boasting since the 80s...

Let's take a look at the matches remaining:

1) Man Utd v Chelsea
I reckon it will be a draw.

2) Blackburn v Man Utd
Fergie's good friend, SAM, will help Man Utd =)

3) Man City v Man Utd
Thrash those loud-mouths neighbours!!

4) Man Utd v Spurs
A toughie but I think it will be a win

5) Sunderland v Man Utd
Steve Bruce's team. Ex MU Player....should be a win.

6) Man Utd v Stoke City
A definate WIN

1st March 2010

... will always remain a special day in my heart. And also the Carling Cup finale...

It was on 1st March 2009 when me & Libra Boy watched our first match together. I still remember it. Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspurs Carling Cup Final where Man Utd won with penalties.

This year the Carling Cup Final was on 28th February 2010 but we won the cup on 1st March (it was past midnight) so yeah, I will always remember it and so nice to have a football touch on my anniversay, something which I am passionate about =)

I have been a nervous wreck for the entire week. I fell sick coz of the anxiety. I do not think there's anything wrong with my body. It's just that the tension was so great it made me feel like I was sick. I had terrible cramps, severe gastric and all these funny aches all over my body making me think there is something wrong with me!

The night b4 was even worse. I couldn't sleep imagining all the terrible things that MAY happen on 1st march. Nerves.

When the day arrived, as usual I was feeling the tension. Felt like I am having diarhoea and wanna vomit. I felt better once we reach Putrajaya and I am so glad there wasn't much crowd there and we were able to be the 2nd couple to be "registered".

It was all over in 20 minutes. Very quick.

I am now married.

My hobby - Reading

There I was, about to pick up Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows to read for the 10th time when Libra boy asked me:

Boy: I thought you read that already.
Me: I wanna read again.
Boy: WHY?
Me: I like.

Boy: Wanna ask you something...what satisfaction do you get when you read the book again? I mean, you have already read it before, you know the ending....

Me: There's sometimes books that I will not get tired of reading. There's "morals" to be learned and the story is nice. I've always like magical stuffs and friendships...

Boy: What "moral" do you learn from HARRY POTTER???

I give up explaining myself.

I like to read. No, like is too mild. I love to read. I have been reading since I was 7. I started with the Enid Blyton stories. I love her Secret 7 series.

There's a sense of "belonging" when I read Secret 7. I would love to be in their "gang". Don't get me wrong. I was definately not lonely when I was a kid. I have friends whom I will chat to on the phone for ages till my granny came and threaten to beat me up with the clothes hanger if I do not put down the phone.

It's hard to explain really. There's just some stories that I can read over and over again. And there's also authors whose books I follow religiously. Each new book that came out, I will wait for the paperback to be released. Books are expensive in Malaysia which is bad. They always wanna encourage kids to read but they're selling novels @ 35.90. I don't know about you, but I can finish a novel in 2 days.

You can imagine the amount of books I have. I am very lucky Libra boy does not make noise about my hobby and in fact he encourages it and tries to understand my need to read.

He said next time in our house, I will have special extra large bookshelves to keep my books. I'm very happy he said that. Nobody understands why I like to read and they're always grumbling about the amount of books I have. Of course, being an untidy person does not help as my room is full with books thrown all around the corners of the floor where I can easily reach and grab the ones I wanna read again.

But of course, I do not understand why I like to read novels and not those damn school textbooks. I turn one page and it's enough to put me to sleep.

The Grass Is Always Greener...

....ON THE OTHER SIDE.

How many of us can relate to this statement? Most of us. If you think back.

Human are all the time not satisfied with what they owned. They strive to achieve more and better things when what they have is already good enough.

When we look at other people, we sometimes wish to be in their shoes. Better life. Better bf/husband/gf/wife. Better financial status. Better family. Better friends. And the list goes on.

No matter how many of those motivational quotes we read that tells us we need to be satisfied with what we have currently, human tends to do the exact opposite at one point or other.

Why am I so interested in this subject? I have no idea. I have a lot of free time these few weeks. I am now wishing I am back to work.

It's funny. When I am working, I wish I do not have to work. You see? The grass thing again.

I have so many free time that I begin to look at what's happening to other people and what we talk about daily.

There's the single guy who wishes to have a gf so that he won't be so bored during weekends/holidays and have someone who loves him. There's the attached guy who wishes to be single so that he can hang out whenever and wherever he want. There's the single woman who wants to get married and have babies. There's those married ones who wishes they are not married. Well, you get the idea.

But I do not agree that the grass is always greener on the other side. We look at other people and we think we wanna be like them, so successful and have a loving family. Who knows what happens behind the scenes? For all we know, they might be successful but they are lonely or have some kind of ill-threatening disease?

As much as I hate to admit it, I do sometimes think that way. That's why I am blogging this post to remind me that I have to be satisfied with what I have now.

I did it again!

This time I have 2 slippers in Libra Boy's car.

Without looking, I juz slip my pair of feet comfortably in2 the two slippers. Luckily this time we were visiting his new house in Cheras and the only other people there were his long time childhood friend and the err.. "developer"?

One month break

I am currently on a one month break from work. Yes, I have resigned from my current job. My last day was supposed to be on the 23rd October 2009 but as usual for sales people, the company will release us earlier, depending on how threatened they feel and so I was officially released yesterday.

So yeah, plenty of people are wondering why I resigned. It's really all for the usual reasons. Better offer etc etc but the main reason is I am unhappy with the new management. Everything screams "unfairness". I guess it is my bad luck.

Plus, I really can't stand to hear another of those "Back at XXXX, we used to bla bla bla" lines.

HELLO! You are not at XXXX anymore. Move on! I do not care whether you were the top salesperson at XXXX or whatever, you are now at a new company.

Seriously, that line annoy people lah. When you join a new company, would you say things like:


"Oh, back at XYZ company, I used to have total freedom and I was the top sales. I bring in 300k GP sales EVERY MONTH and everyone was so envious of my team."

When you say things like that, it shows your level of maturity. Yes you may have been very successful but is it necessary to boast about your past success? Why not do your job quietly and show people what you are capable of? If you are good, you are good. There is no need to constantly remind people of your past success. People are not stupid and they can "SEE".

I guess the word "fail" does not exist in your vocabulary and that's very optimistic. BUT life is unpredictable. It may not be because of your skills that you fail to shine. It could be due to plenty of external factors. Biasness, economy crisis, bad management, bad timing... etc etc....And when you fail, people will always remember your " BACK AT XXXX, I USED TO GENERATE 300k USD sales per month".It will be kinda embarassing. Don't you think so?

I do not hold any grudges but I will always remember. I'm a typical woman :)
