Big Rock First

How do you make use of your time in a day? Everyone has 24 hours but why some people are able to accomplish more things than the other. I am also in the situation where I always wish to have additional 2 hours in a day. After attending a time management course, time to learn how to put the big rock first.

Bray Lake Swim

Participated in an open water swimming yesterday and i enjoyed it so much. This was my first open water swim in the lake. Lucky I was wearing a wetsuit, you wouldn't imagine how cold the water was albeit the summer weather.

I don't remember my personal best swimming 1.5km at the pool in the past, yesterday was 33 mins 10 sec which I thought was pretty good considering i was swimming in the lake where the water was quite bumpy when there was around 50 swimmers did not have its own lane to swim. I think I could improve next time once i get used to swimming in a wetsuit.

Amway Business Owner

I learnt about Amway UK a while ago and signed up myself as a Business Owner. I have been using Amway products since young while I was still in Malaysia. I didnt see it as a business opportunity until someone introduced me to Amway UK. I thought I would give it a try since it costs nothing to sign up.

Everyone wants to run their own business but starting up conventional business tends to be difficult. Even though you managed to do it, you will be spending each night thinking on how to keep the business survive. Your income is determined by how much effort you put in but in Amway, its a growing sustainable income and you have a team to support you.

I am looking for a business partner to work with me on starting international network. It doesn't matter where you are, we can work together. Amway has given each of us a personal webpage to recruit people.

Here's mine: http://www.amway.co.uk/user/raymondtio

If you want to get a slice of multiple bonuses from Amway, keep in touch with me and we will discuss.

6 days to London 10k run

first time since the Penang Bridge Run back in the uni times, I will be taking part in a marathon. It will only be a 10k run but running pass through landmarks in London is going to be a great experience. Besides its a good preparation for my triathlon in the running event.

very useful since the excel could support up to 9 bits only.

Counting down days to go home

I will be going home in the next 5 days. Going to fly with Etihad airlines this time which is the first time for me. I guess the cabin is going to smell briyani :D

Dont know why, I am craving for local food these days. I wonder if that always happens to us who are about to go home.

Lottery winning of £7.20

On that day when I managed buy the necklace in croydon, since luck was on my side, I bought a lottery number.
The ticket matched 3 numbers with the draw last Tuesday. That means I win £7.20.

Perhaps I will take that money and buy more tickets.

First time with Swarovski

My sister is getting married this March and I have to get something for her. To be honest, I have no clue about what gift a brother should buy for his sister. I searched the internet and asked some of my friends. One of them suggested Swarovski, which sounded pretty sensible to me..

So I went to its boutique in my local area, for the first time I entered the store although I have been passing it whenever I go the mall where Swarovski is located. Coincidentally, there was a sales going on and instantly one necklace caught my eye.. initially I thought it was a rabbit, but later I was told it was actually a mouse, an angel mouse in fact. I didnt buy the necklace right here and then. I left the store and went to look for something else. It was a big mistake!

30 minutes later I returned to the store and found out the angel mouse was gone! Its a shame, I should have bought it without hesitating earlier. I asked the store assistant hoping there could be one more in stock but that didnt happen. Not giving up on hope, I asked her to help me check if other branch would have it and fortunately there are 2 angel mouse necklaces at Croydon's branch.

I took the shot and headed straight to croydon by train. It was a two hour ride and I hoped the necklace would still be available when I got there. Luck was on my side that day, saw the angel mouse! Of course I learnt my mistake, I bought it immediately. Originally priced at £69, I paid just £27 for it. That is how it looks like. Hope she will like it.

Now, what should I buy for Valentine's day?

still around

since my last submission, I haven't check this site myself until today... well i am not a blogger but sometimes i want to feel what it is like to blog... so here i am but i might disappear for months again :p

maybe my life got better so there is no need for me to write something here because i could share with people i met :) in fact i dont have anything to write here as most of the entire last year was about work. Hopefully I will be getting a promotion this year... However, last christmas was enjoyable..exchanging gifts, baking turkey and making cheesecake..last but not least took responsibility to boost the country's economy :p

Haven't finished the shopping list yet as this year is my triathlon year, i need to get a road bike. Already submitted name for London Triathlon in September.
