Missing the good old days

It is the festive and raining seasons. Can't help but think and miss the good old days when weekends is all about myself, partying, shopping and relaxing. Now, weekends is indeed more tiring and demanding then working days.

There is no personal moment during weekend unless the twins cooperate and nap at the same time. Even then, I have to make use of the little free time to prepare their next meal, pack the messy house, vacuum the floor, shower , prepare all the baby bag for outing...and many more.

I misses those days when I can sleep in, meet friends for hi-ti and chat the afternoon away. I miss the party days and not to worry about hang over. I miss watching TV alone the whole afternoon and do nothing.

But I have these in exchange for everything:

Grandma death anniversary

Coming Saturday is grandma first death anniversay. Grandma had passed away for a year and I missed her. I was looking thru the old photos, searching for the old memories and trying to recall the time that I spent with her. I realised, we had too few photos taken, I neglected my grandma towards the last few months of her time with us. I was too occupied with my twins and I hardly take any picture of her. All ther last days pictures were taken at the hospital when I visited her. Ah ma, I missed you.

Insomnia after a tiring weekend

Coming to 2am. I am bloody tired and I can't get to sleep. I am going to hate myself tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off.

Had a good weekend with the the twins, enjoy spending time with them with Louis around, it take the stress off me and we get to spend time together as a family. What makes the time spent better was we get to bond with my cousin, brother and my mum when we brought the twins out on two different occasions.

Now, I really need to sleep, I am so tired especially I suffered a bad hangover on Sunday morning after i drank too much at the D&D. Hate the stupid feeling so much that I want to quit drinking. What must I do to sleep?? Count the sheeps??

Positive power and influence (PPI)

Have not attended external training course for a long long time. The one that I have on 5th and 6th November was held at SIM on Positive Power and Influence. The course focus on identifying positive energy, applied the energy to influence the people around us. It also show us the different style of influence that we could use or we have been using in our daily life. There are some that we need to learn and some that we need to put aside. There are always room for improvement.

During the course, I do find some of the points are so simple, direct and things that we already know. The problem is, we failed to applied them at the right time. Simple thing like receiving and giving feedback, mindful of body languages, watch out for our tone when we speak and use positive words. Common sense right but we don't usually do them.

Application of what we learn during the course is also subjected to the different situation, so be flexible. I need to set clear objective and know who to influence to achieve my goal in life. The rest is not important.

Oh, before I forget, one thing I disliked about attending such motivation courses is the role playing part. I am always selected to role play....always!!! Get a life and find someone else Lei.
