What does my name mean?

I was bored today whilst surfing the Internet... I remembered recently asking my friend about names for her baby.. she won't really tell me the name as yet but I was excited about the name of the newborn baby. Then I decided to find out what my name really means... so here's what I found:

• Although the name Lena creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation.
  
  
• This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus, and through worry and mental tension.
  

• The name of Lena creates a restless, creative nature that takes you into many ventures, but does not allow you to see things through to a satisfactory completion.
  
• Yours is a versatile, musical, artistic, but independent nature and you must have the freedom to express your creative ideas and abilities to be happy.
  
• An urge for independence causes dissatisfaction and frustration in close relationships and you find the "ties that bind" restricting.
  
• The qualities of this name would find a more constructive outlet in work that involves high-pressure selling or promotional activities, possibly in community affairs, for it contains a positive, driving power.

To a certain extent, there is some truth in what it was describing me. I didn' think name would also reflect the characteristic of that person. Wasn't it suppose to be the year, month, day and time that you are born in??

What have I been up to lately?

well... since I returned from Phuket trip. Life has been pretty restless and aimless.. am still trying to find a new adventure for me to do. Haven't quite nail down yet but at least I am now trying to stay fit again...haahha.

But in the mean time, all thanks to my buddy, Ms Wong aka Yellow Pearly (we teased her this morning) made me go to Queensway to buy my running shoes. She said I had been procrastinating far too long to head to the gym to work my fats away...hahah... Come to think of it, it had been 3 years since I terminated my gym membership with The Spa then... now First Fitness. Well, its only a temporary membership for one month so for the past 2 weeks we had been diligently gyming 2-3 times a week. She has every reason to work out --- for getting a silver for IPPT ???? whilst for me... purely for vanity!!! The induction test showed that I had 31.3% of fat to my body mass. My heart shattered when the trainer said it's unhealty level...shitty I didnt believe that in that 3 years of not exercising, my fat level went up so much....hahhhaa... so now self consolation for one month...work some fats out.

Unfortunately next week I wont have a buddy for working out. She will be travelling overseas.. sigh. I just hope that I will be diligent enough to do so...knowing myself. I would just get carried away with work and then decide to head home.

any how... now that World Cup is on. I had been following some of the games.. not faithfully but for most of the important matches ...definitely!!! Am not a soccer fanatic so will not comment on the matches..and betting is also out of my interest!

As for work, I will be busy next week for Communic Asia and the following week, I will be in Sentosa for a conference for one whole week ...argh.. dreadful. I will miss one week of working out. shitty!!! But all I can say.. from now onwards... my plate is full till end of November. disgusting... will be another hectic second half of the year before December.

I am still thinking what next to do..here's some ideas that came to my mind:

1) Climb Mount Ophir or Mount Kinabalu
2) Sky dive
3) Diving
4) Learn tennis
5) Get my Power Boat licence so that I can get my Day Skipper certificate
6) Continue learning my french
7) Find another Diploma to study
8) Get a job overseas such as the working visa in UK

any suggestions or comments? just dun tell me to find a boyfriend!!! hahah

my HP is repaired

oh well.. mobiles and me dun gel very well this year...

at least, it's now repaired and alive again. And I actually miss my own phone even though I was using the same model phone in the interrim. ...

Lesson learnt... back up my phone ------ Finally I started to back up all my files.... well i guess I need to be "taught" to back up my phone!!

Phuket - Days 1-5

it's about time I went for my much needed break.... Working non-stop at full gear for 3 plus months was no joke. I think even till to-date I am still suffering from high stress. I never could enjoy the luxury of sleeping like a pig any more. In Phuket, I slept only about 4-5 hours daily... tho I spent a lot of time lying on the beach.

5 days in Phuket, beachin bumming was really relaxing. We absolutely did nothing except to sleep, eat, shop, tan, watch Star Movies/ National Geographic every night and play cho tai di the whole night away.


That's the view of Karon Beach and Indian Ocean from our hotel. As it was the low peak season, we were given room on the highest level - which is level 4 and the first room facing the beach.

It would be really nice to sit on the balcony but we had to slap our legs and arms with mozzies repellent otherwise... we would have ended up with beautifully scared legs and arms.

DAY 1
That's me sitting at brazilian restaurant on the first night having pizzas. erhmmm ... my camera phone is quite pathetic .. so have to live with such blur photos sigh!


DAY 2
Dinner at Patong Beach... According to Cheryl's friend there was this really nice Italian restaurant. We walked for many streets near Patong Beach and never found that restaurant. In the end we went to Napoli restaurant that serves really yummy pasta out of so many restaurants.... we were tired from the long walking searching for that particular restaurant

caught a glimpse of the evening sun set view at the beach.. was a nice walk after dinner.

and there you see three of us.


and that's me and crazy cheryl....


and what did we do at night in the room? ... hmmmm.... how boring can we get... drink wine, play tai di and watch star movies whole night away. Why our feets? ... well of course comparing feet size!!!! hahaha.. actually I dont recall why this photo was taken after all.



DAY 3 & 4
What did we do on day 3? I could barely recall... more sun tanning by the pool. The sun was scorching hot and we couldnt really tan for more than 30 minutes. Could feel the heat burning on the skin....

Well... we dont really have that many photos to show as we forgot to bring a camera...so these photos are taken off Tres' camera... 2 mega pixels. Not bad huh...

Another good meal we had before we left was dinnner was at Patong beach on day 4and this time we had Thai seafood. Hmmm... yummy and not that expensive too.

DAY 5
We just slept till late... had breakfast and then went back to the room to sleep more. caught the last flight out at 8 plus...

on the whole... was a nice relaxing holiday. Must have been the great company... lots of crazy things happened... hysterical moments too.

well well... I am looking forward to the next holiday... Hong Kong.. yippee. it will be great company for eating,shopping and partying too...
