It's difficult to be a boss

Two years ago, I took up this role of a lifetime to become the boss of my current transport company. It was not plannned nor was a dream, it was an opportunity that presented itself and every single cell in my body told me it was the right thing to do. So I did.  In the beginning, I was advised by many seniors in the industry to not to take on this road. It's challenging and I'm too naive to think that I will be able to do it. To be honest, I knew nothing about the job or the industry before going in there, I didn't even think whether or not I was going to be able to do it. I just went for it, because I felt that it was something that me and my hubby should go for it.  Another reason slightly closer to my heart for pursuing this industry was that my father was a very successful man in the industry. He single handedly build his company from scratch to become one of the largest in Malaysia now. He sold off the company before he passed away as none of us would be able...

8 April 2017 - 11 April 2017 Just came back from China, can't believe it's been almost a year since I last updated the blog. I got to start updating more diligently. Hopefully once I get my tab, I will be able the blog from anywhere.. NAH.. I think I will just end up for  getting again.  I went back to China this time together with mom, 1ku and wife, 3ku, 2yi and uncle, Yee Wei, Chin Yee and Kar Hoei - Total 11 of us!  China was dirty and the noise pollution was crazy, I had such a hard time having to listen to all the honking and aunties gossiping, passing small little comments, and uncles trying to belittle me by talking down to me like I'm some kid. It's really extremely very annoying. On top of that the extremely unpleasant experience with Malaysia Airlines really got me reconsidering whether or not I would ever want to take Malaysia Airlines ever again, well technically it was Kar Hoei fault for being so late and of course also that the flight retimed. B...

1 June 2016 - 6 June 2016  Just completed several holidays,  29 April - 3 May - Redang 7 - 11 May - Singapore  23 - 24 May - Bangkok 1 - 6 June - Phuket  Just came back from Phuket, thought I quickly take the opportunity to write down how I feel about the trip before I forgot about most things. I'm just getting more and more forgetful these days.  We arrived at wet rainy Phuket on 1 June (Wednesday) after clearing off most of the work the day before. Phuket was in the craziest weather ever, heavy rain storms, strong winds and waves. But the last three days were bright and sunny, so to sum it up we kinda experienced both extreme of the weather there.  This Phuket trip is by far one of my favourite trips ever because:-  WE COMPLETED THE LAGUNA PHUKET INTERNATIONAL MARATHON  I completed the 10km Laguna Phuket International Marathon on 4 June 2016 and Steven was super proud of me. The part where he was s...

Day 1: HELLO THERE

Hello to anyone that's reading this blog!  Yes, just a diary of another fat girl on her weight loss journey!  I'm from Penang Malaysia, the land of awesome curry, nasi lemak, banana leaf rice, char koay teow, nasi kandar. I am 27 years old this year, married 2 years ago, no kids (as at April 2016) and I run my own business.  Why I started this blog?  WHY? Yes that's a great question. Many people started a blog to track progress, to log in their food, to track their exercises, to meet people of similar interest, or on the same kind of journey? Or another 101 kind of reasons out there.  For me? It's simple, I want to be honest to myself.  That's my resolution for 2016 and I find it very difficult to come clean to people around me. I've been hiding all my life, hiding away from people. I find it so difficult to just tell people around, my struggles, my angers, my frustrations, the embarrassing stuff, the ugly side, the truth. Slowly with a...
