Productive day?

*radio turns on*

a man lay in bed, doing his best to keep asleep despite the noise of the radio.

**BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP**

the man reached over to the bedside table to hit the snooze button.

**BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP**

the man hit the snooze button again. this continued for about 3 more times.

finally,

**BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP**

the man reached over for the clock and looked at the time. he finally said "OH SHIT! time to get up"

well this is how my morning began.

i got out of bed and did my normal morning routine of cleaning myself. after the shower, i got changed. the thing that was different today was that i was wearing this black t-shirt with a a logo that said 'Adam Khoo Learning Technology Group.'

most of you would be thinking what is that weird name when spelled with the first letters of every word spelled out AKLTG? well AKLTG is a company that conducts motivational training and stuff to people. i help the company out as a coach for their programs. when im free that is.

after getting all dressed up and ready to go, i headed over to my trusty old van. took a drive all the way down to Taylor's Uni College. despite the heavy jam, i managed to arrive there 20 minutes late! yes i was still late. anyway, that day i decided to park in the old market site, since the parking there was closer to the college and was free anyway. being in a hurry, i quickly got out of the car and rushed over to the MPH, which stands for multi-purpose hall, to help the rest of the team to set up.

while most, or probably all, of the students of taylor's college got the day off, why was i entering a college that i did not study at?

well the answer is, that there was a training program for whole taylor's college faculty. YES, so for all you talorians, i got to see your lecturers jump around, act like kids, do really dumb kiddy stuff, and also like all seminars/trainings, i got to see them sitting down on their asses listening to talks. real interesting don't you think?

after setting up, i heard from some of the coaches that i could park in the college. so i went with joey to the market place to move my car and park it into the great taylor's parking lot. wieh we got the my car, i realised that i didn't have my keys with me. then it struck me, i must have left my keys in the car AGAIN! but thanks to my great strategy and skill, i managed to get the keys out yet again.

bet you guys are wondering how right? well here is the secret. i always leave my windows wound down a little to ensure that the heat in the car ain't to much. what i do is i squeeze my hand through the gap and pull out the key. the last time it happened sandra stuffed her hand it there. my forearms were too huge to fit through it. for some unknown reason, i managed to squeeze it through this time.

so anyway, after getting a nice sweet parking place in the taylor's car park, i was appointed as the camera man for the entire training session. so all i had to do was sit at the back and control the camera while the training was going on. sounds like an easy task right? well you are wrong. i had to sit in really awkward possitions in order to be able to control the camera and stuff. it was a normal handheld dvd recorder mounted on a tripod which was placed on the table, so that it could shoot above the participants heads.

after all this, i took a drive back home and then changed and went to one utama to meet up with some of the other AKLTG coaches. BECAUSE, its Alvin's birthday! the venue of the bitrhday dinner was Italianis!

yes everyone, this is alvin. note the newly pierced lip. also present for the dinner was:










Kimberly!












Joey, who left even before the food arrived.














and finally nik!








the best thing was that because we didn't think that a few people wouldn't turn up, or LEAVE EARLY, we over ordered. we had some fried squid thing, which i can't recall the name, the italianis roasted chicken thing, and finally spaghetti and meat balls. believe you me, it was a real pain to consume all that food. plus, i ordered a bottomless cup of ice lemon tea. so i practically filled my tummy full of water. before the food arrived, i already was on my 4th refill. so i had to force myself to eat.

anyway, the weird thing about today was that there was so many people from DU that i knew. to name a few, there was





mr. yeo ming li,
















mr.augustine mah,













and finally mr. loo calvin.









they were there with some other people too, but i can't remember who they were.

well after that great heavy meal, i headed over to Camp5 for some climbing!



since i was so extremely full with food, i only did a few lead routes on the sentinal wall. only the easy ones too tho. after getting my regular dose of climbing, i decided to head home before the gym closed for the day.

all in all, this day was a really packed full day, filled with things to do. haven't really been so packed full in a while. but this week end it going to be a busy one.


well until next time, here is a picture that you can look at in anticipation of the next post.
