Finally!!! I thought today will never arrive. It has been quite a long week, the high from the PvsP still lingers...Today is the last session for the KL Alpha team (that's where I am) and it was sooo intense. I bet by tomorrow I will feel the aches and pain.
New Crush
Meanwhile, am still having a crush with somebody who is clearly not available. Met this fella at a party. Isn't it funny...when you thought it'll be a long and boring do...it turn out to be the opposite! I had an enjoyable time talking to this person the whole night long!!! But tough luck...I finally met an interesting male and he happens to be someone else's hubby. Sigh.....
And I supposed it worked both ways. I'm still fighting the urge to continue this useless game. But it's sooo hard to meet someone that you can click with...especially in this surrounding.....
What a waste, what a waste...
Oh well.....Ms Wannabee doesn't want to get into any shitty affairs, her common sense tells her to nip it in the bud. Easier said that done...hahah.....But she never wants to be a home-wrecker, therefore.....have to practice that mind-over-matter build a strong-will exercise startng from NOW!
Ohh...temptation,temptation....
Hot & Cold
Things with close ones are never like before...Do I want to confront the whole issue? I'm not sure.....and I don't really want to care about this because it is just not worth it and confrontation might just make it even worse. Somebody is still being hot and cold (just like that Katy Perry's song). Anyway, I'm just moving along with the tide or..to put it more aptly, moving up and down according to the temperature.
No point to dwell when there is no answer.
Wild Rumours
Yours truly have unexpectedly became one of the targets of a wild matchmaking plan. Some pictures which we took for fun were being deliberately misunderstood and people thought that my best friend and I are in a relationship. People, people....why can't they just mind their own business????
Maybe we are too liberal, the public is just not used to seeing a couple posing closely together with no romantic feelings (to us it was nothing but to them it was sooo intimate!!!.) Well hello!!! Had it been really intimate, we wouldn't have put it up in our FB!!! .
Can't help it that Ms Wannabee is soo lovable...people just love her and think that she is a perfect match!!! (Ha ha ha....you can laugh but that's the truth darrrling!!!)
Reconnection
The best thing of all...I've reconnected with a dear, old friend. We haven't met for nearly 17 years but Gosh!!!! That just reminds us how old we are getting...uuurrrghhhh!!!!
But close friends that we still are (we spoke for nearly 2 hours on the phone), I can't wait for us to meet and exchange the stories of our lives....Unfortunately, both of us are busy with our own lives...the 'reunion' would not happen till about few weeks more....
And so, another week flew by. What an eventful week this has been and that is not the end.
Ms Wannabee is looking forward to the weekend, this time discovering a new adventure in KL, hiking!
Till then....Ms Wannabee is gleefully happy :)

The Platoon vs Platoon (2)
The much anticipated Platoon vs Platoon event took place yesterday and kudos to the organizers for its roaring success. Members got to know each other better as well as fostering new ties. At the same time, it was also an excuse to add more people to your friends’ list in your facebook. I don’t make a habit of adding new names unless I get to know them well and so that was justifiable.
It stated at 5.45 am but our over-eager team members requested everybody to be there as 5.00am! And to make sure you get there on time, they even provided you with a wake-up call at 4.00am and even sent sms reminders!! Apart from that, if you are not sure of directions, they even provide you with a hotline, to call so and so for directions if you get lost.
KL team was the most kiasu team. We had face painting and red bandanna/scarf and even have our own song. The noises we made….oh goodness!!!….The excitement level was at fever pitch and adrenalin was flowing like the Zambeze River. Thanks God we won….if not…it would have been really embarrassing to face the PJ platoon again. With about 50 people per team, there were close to 100 participants for both teams.
We had treasure hunting kind of activity and in between, they threw in the regular items such as the sand bags, bazooka, mock rifles, ropes, the 70kg rubber tyre and even eggs (yeah, 2 person had to carry an egg each in their hand and run through the whole drill and make sure the egg in their hand is not broken). We ran for nearly 5km and miraculously, those eggs stayed intact.
Among the rules were, we have to do everything together as a team and when we move, there should not be a 3 meter gap between each runner. That means those fast runners will have to make sure they don’t run too far ahead. To make sure they don’t get too bored or frustrated, we made them carry the big and heavy items while the slow ones were given task of reading the map or carry lighter stuffs or the egg carrier. Those with the loud voice took it upon themselves to be the drill sergeant, calling everybody to attention, either to speed up, or to stop. It worked….
As tired as it was, it was great fun. It was worth all the efforts waking up early and participated. Ms Wannabee’s greatest fear that her speed which is more of a slow-motion speed rather than a sprinting speed would be a hindrance were totally unfounded. The aching body and loose-knee-joints were worth it when reading the glowingly positive comments from her team leader in her fb wall that afternoon.
Now, apart from feeling 10ft tall, Ms Wannabee feels more powerful and strong than ever! Strong enough that she feels she could attempt a public run that will be held in March. The category that she’s going for? Only 5km………. Hahaha!!!

The Platoon vs Platoon
That's one of the activities planned by our Bootcamp organisors. They will have the BATTLE OF THE PLATOONS, ie KL Team VS the PJ team. It is suppose to foster good ties and all in the names of building up good team spirit and do soemthing for charity.
But from the amount of messages that's been posted on the bootcamp facebook wall (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=59969644666) you'd think that the KL and PJ temas are gearing up for the war of the century!
Even Ms Wannabee who prefers to keep low profile (yeah...true!!!) has been roped in and forced to join. Quite flattering though...that they think slowpokes like your's truly can be an asset.
And so...due to the high demand and to please the masses...(yeah....go ahead and throw-up if you have to, but that's the truth..hahahaha!!!!!!) Ms Wannabee has signed up to be up and ready at 5.30 am, yeah...that's right....it's 5.30 AM on Sunday morning to add her puny strengths to the KL team and fight for her platoon....
Let's pray and hope she comes back in one piece............(and can fit into that size 10 bikini!)
Till Sunday!

Bring a friend day at Bootcamp
There is a general excitement in the air whenever they have this "Bring a friend" day at Bootcamp. This time Stefanie is keen to participate but waking up at 5.00am is the moot point. I am trying to get other people in the office to join in too but again, that early morning session is the biggest hurdles.
I supposed everybody close to me are quite sick of me going on and on about bootcamp. But I can't help it! In the absence of other interesting events in my present life...this is the most interesting thing I've ever embarked on. I am surprised with myself for staying on this long....you know..I've never committed to a long-term exercise regime before and guess what...i'm in my 3rd month in the 'camp' now! And guess what again....I've been elevated to the Seals team! In the ranks of the bootcampers, you start as Rangers, then Seals and finally, the fit of the fittest...the DELTA teams.
And how the trainers assessed which team you are going to be is based on your monthly assessments. Even though I'm still among the lasts....at least I'm a little bit fitter (and dare I say stronger?) compared to 3 months ago.
I'm very thrill to be made a SEAL but at the same time am dreading the extra effort required. At least when you are in the Rangers...you are still considered the baby and the most unfit. At least the pressure is not so much on you....
here goes...let's see who will turn up this FRiday.....

Bigots and fanatics.
What have my country come to????? It is soo sad and dissapointing to hear about the arson cases today. It is not Ms Wannabee's style to comment about political or religious issues but in this case, I think I'll give my 5 cents worth of opinion.
Living in multi-racial and muti-religious country we have to understand and respect each other. Only FANATICS and BIGOTS Would do such a cowardly acts. No holy books be it Quran or Bible asked us to kill people or burn the place of worship of other religion. To go to such an extent (of burning the church) in the name of upholding our religion is just not the right way. This is not the way to gain respect at all.
I have always been a minority whereever I go, ever since I started school. Yeah...there were some minor prejudices along the way....but we live through it and don't make a big issue out of it. Most often, this is caused by IGNORANCE rather than any other reasons. Perhaps our government have to look at our education system again. We should be tought to UNDERSTAND different religions not merely to tolerate those other religions around us (without proper understanding). What we have done all this time is just tolerating but obviously, from what have happend the past few years.... that is not enough.
I know it is easier said than done. I'm quite liberal minded, it is easy for me to accept other things with open mind. But if people around you are very conservative, other cultures would always be treated with caution and suspicion...and full of negative connotations.
Well...that is just my 5cents worth of thoughts. Again I know it is easier said than done...but for the life of me...I just don;t understand what do you get from burning building or chopping cow's head??????????????

Back at work
It's Thursday today and it is my first day at work.
I planned to be up and early, had the alarm set at 6.00am.
It rang at 6.00, then 6.30, then 7.00, then 7.30, then 7.45 and I finally woke up at 8.00. So much for planning....
Reached the office at 9.30....
Back in the office...everything is the same. There are new deadlines (but of course!).
My excitement level is flat...

Happy New Year! Looking back and moving forward
Happy New Year!!!!! 2010..…I wonder what lies in store for me???? Too many questionS, I wish I have all the answers.
Oh well….that’s how it’s gonna be. Wait and see…life won’t be much fun if you have all the answers.
To reflect the past year…after 2 years of living on my own and enjoying my immerse freedom of not answering to anybody, I came back to the lively (and chaotic, and sometimes claustrophobic and quite frustrating ) bosoms of my beloved family.
Life has to change its course again and I have to grin and bear it. Though I have to admit that if not for the endless patience and understanding of my close buddies, I would have turn and fled. Thanks for listening to my constant winging and whining, moaning and groaning (not the sexual type mind you!).
Looking back.....
2009 and Friends
Friends came and gone. You don’t realize how dependant you are on that daily chats, phone calls and messages and when the daily contacts ceased…..when it is not there anymore….you have to accept that you are not central in the other person’s life anymore. It is time to learn to let go and move on. In that letting go process, one can’t help but go through that psycho-analyses cycles of what went wrong, how, why? Why? Why????? But enough is enough…. why put yourself through this misery. We can’t control the changes around us just as we can’t control evolution. What we can control though….are our reactions and emotions…(wow! I sound just like one of those motivational speakers, don't I?)
And so…the practical side of Ms Wannabee took over, she cuts her loses and move on. No point to dwell on such things when you don’t have the answers. No one is blameless, we are all selfish in the sense that we want it all to fit every corners in our lives. Unfortunately, we can’t have it all, and we can’t have it the way we want it to be. We may hurt some people in the process but that can’t be help.
Coming back to friendship, as long as you are sincere, I’ll be there as your friend. I’ll try to play that true friend bit…listen, accept, understand and be there when needed. If I can’t accept it, I’ll be there …..that’s the least I can do. As friends, we will be honest and open with each other, even if the truth hurts…don’t punish your friends for being honest and truthful….at least they are not hypocrites. To accept or not…that’s your prerogative but don’t take your friends for granted. They may just decide to move on….without you.
2009 and Career
I’m at a crossroad in my career life. As much as I would like to take control and decide which way to take, it is not my decision…yet. Have to wait for the powers that be to decide…it’s frustrating isn’t it…when you are dependent on other forces to shape your life. Such is the world we live in….. If you don’t want to depend and answer to other people…take the courageous road and be your own boss. Unfortunately, the Ms Wannabee in me does not have such gumption. It is much easier to be employed and let these organizations take care of the paper trails and payroll matters.
Back to that crossroad, I can’t go into details now but wish me luck. If it is indeed meant to be, we will soon know about it. If not….I’m still happy being where I am (ha.ha.ha.)
2009 and Luuvvvvv
????? Bring forward to 2010. Ditto.
2009 and Finance
Just like the stock market…it was down, marginally up and down again. Mostly down for most part of the year due to excessive and lavish personal indulgences that were deemed to be necessary at such times. The rational was that, it was too good a bargain to pass and yes! It was so much so. What a treat and what great bargains they were (dreamy sigh…..).
No long term regret in this matter. Overall speculation, I’m still a liability to my future wealth rather than an asset.
2009 and Fitness
Bootcamp. Yeah…if anything, I would say that this is the the most significant part of my life now. It changed my life forever!
I’m still far from my quest for size 10 bikini but that doesn’t matter. At least I know I’m doing something right with my personal fitness (and health) now. HOO YAH!!!
Best bits of 2009
- This pink viao, of course;
- The beautiful days spent in HK (Mui wo, Discovery Bay, Big Wave Bay, Stanley, Robinson Road)....with much joy and bantering with my close buddies...I LOVEEEEEE YOU GUYS!!!!!!;
- Post-raya trip in Penang with Bard and Karen…the food and the luxuries that came with it and most importantly, the great company!!! ……
Moving forward 2010
Let’s hope this New Year will bring new changes in our lives. Changes can’t be avoided, its how we adapt to it that matters. Be it good or bad, we’ll deal with it. New career….. new house….new car….new friends….. new love?????? Who knows?
We shall wait and will see….
Ms Wannabee wishes everybody a Happy and Successful New Year!!!
PS: Had a wonderful new year in HK although I was still sick and caughing like mad at that time. Also managed to catch up with all the significant people in my life who are in HK (except for Bard) and truly enjoyed the girls' time-out in Stanley on new year day. Thanks for that Karen.
Missed you Bard, Happy Birthday! Hope everything will go well in your life again. Take care....
