Work Life

I've been working for a bit now. It's been almost one month so far. Learnt a lot through real-life experience. There are times when you have customers who are cocky walking in to ask for information, there are times when you have very polite customers walking in. There are just so many kinds of people that you meet everyday. Some are just contented with the information that you can offer them while others would want to speak to your boss instead of you. At the end of the day, I'm just glad that I met all of them because it's a learning experience that I'm going through at the moment.

I have to say that it's been rather rewarding so far since starting work. I'm very glad that I had a group of very supportive colleagues to advise and facilitate me when I need help. They really gave me some quality feedback on what to do and what not to do. Thanks! This is especially to the people who had not only trusted me but also gave me close guidance on what I need to do etc. during work. I'm pretty sure that the friendships that I have made in this job will last for quite a while. It's just that I don't know how long it'll last over the years.

Aside from working, I've also ran in the KL Marathon. For the first time ever, I managed to complete the marathon in less than 5 hours!! LOL... In fact, I managed to do the run in less than 4 hours 29 minutes. It's indeed an achievement for me since I haven't done less than 5 hours at all before. I guess all the effort of training a few times a week really paid off.

I have to thank Energizer Night Race for the 2-week Celebrity Fitness membership that I cashed in and got good value for. I went there almost every other day after work including weekends. Not only did I manage to use the treadmill in the gym, I also managed to use the weight training equipments in the gym for upper-body workouts. There are really top-notch equipments in there but the problem is that the monthly fees are very expensive!! >.<

The last time I ran in a Half-Marathon (three weeks before KL Marathon), I sucked terribly. This was at Setia Eco-Park in Setia Alam. I have to admit that I didn't train hard enough for this race. Had a nagging cramp and slight pain on my calf at 18km and 20km. It took me almost 1 hour just to finish 3km of the race. Horrible! I guess that might have woken me up from my laziness.

Next target would be training for BHP Orange Run and PBIM in November. I might be going for an Ultra-Marathon in December if I have the time to train so hard at that time. Hope no issues until then. Ciaozz :)
