exercise for dear life!

And so, the blood test result's out. I had the previous one done in Oct 2007 which showed me having slightly higher cholesterol level.

This time around, I thought my cholesterol level would hit an all-time high but it was not. It is good.

However, the scary news to me is, my screening for diabetes yielded a result of 5.9, which is only 0.1 away from 6.0, the NORMAL range for people free of diabetes!

My dear doctor says that it is okay. Treatment is needed for those who have a level of 6.5 and above. And yours truly is only 0.6 away from 6.5!

And so, on the way home after my visit to the doctor, I drove by Gaya and turned in at the juncton to the small park.

Yes... I checked out the park where I will be exercising for... ever... or at least until my 5.9 drops to a more acceptable level.

Sigh... yes... the time has come when I will have to exercise for my dear life! And also lessen the intake of carbohydrates (my favourite) from my diet.

So, my dear kaki makan, please do not lure me with buffet invitations or pig-out sessions. My heart's gonna bleed...

the new school year 2009

And so, there goes my 2008 holiday. What have i done?

• Lazed at home and read 5 Nora Roberts' fiction. (Love them all. Still one to go. Save for CNY break.)
• Worked extra 10 hours at IPGKK at RM120 per hour! (Dear God, please give me more part time jobs like that! Amen!)
• Went Christmas carolling with a bunch of kids very, very much younger than me. (I feel like a dinosauress :'(...)
• Played for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations. (Haven't done that for some years. Where are those young ex-worship team members?)
• Marked SPM scripts and earned the experience. (A really vomit-inducing and blood pressure-raising work which pays peanuts. But the networking's great! We, English teachers, ARE a crazy bunch! Craziness in the midst of stress.)
• Went out with friends.
• Bought and decorated my first Christmas tree.
• Played for Debs for the Chinese Song-writing Competition.
• Slept before 10 p.m. on New Year's Eve! (A confirmation of me being a fossilized species.)
• Ate... a lot (Self-explanatory...)

In 2009, work-wise, I am...

• The Class Teacher of 5A (Sigh...)
• The Guru Penyelaras of the whole Form 5 (donkey job)

• The Teasurer for my Sports House
• Other odds and ends...

Home-wise...

• Love my family more each day
• Clean my room more often
• Wash my laundry more often
• Wash my car more often

Service-wise...

• Be more punctual (^.^ ... was late for the first service of the year...)
• Train up 2 more keyboardists
• Get the chords for the song sheets done
• Be kinder to the 'kids' (For they are so fearful of me... *growl*)

Spiritually...

Personally...

Weight-wise...
