my simple weight-losing plan - week 3

To be honest, I stopped exercising since last Thursday. So it has been a week now and I have to admit that I do not have the discipline. Perhaps my friend, Cindy, is right. I did not say how long I want to do this and what is the ideal weight I want to achieve. However, I do not want to pressure myself with commitment. I just want to do it and have fun with it.

Luckily, I maintain my weight for this week. Perhaps it's my diet and pressure due to exam and work.

Hopefully it's not going to rain again this evening. I really miss jogging at the park. It's enjoyable to see the same faces every evening; the same group of kids playing, aunties chatting about their kids, uncles jogging and maids walking the dogs.

homework for parents

I believe most teachers would like to get to know their students well. Hence, they would usually ask their students to introduce themselves during the first day of class.

There's a better way to get to know your students. Tell your class that you are assigning their parents homework (the kids must be very happy!). Explain to your students that you need their parents to write a letter to discuss about them (likes, dislikes, achievements, concerns, etc).

I believe parents will respond well to this initiative.

high inflation rate

Dear PM,
Are we going to do something about the high inflation rate at 4.8%? Or at least give your comment about it? I know you can't do anything on the sharply increased fuel prices, but at least your ministers can encourage the rakyat to spend on local products like we used to do in the past. Campaigns like "Belilah Barangan Buatan Malaysia" and "Kempen Inflasi Sifar" initiated by Tun Dr Mahathir were so impactful back in those days. Please, at least do something about it.

Nadal the champ on clay

Rafael Nadal has proven again that he is the best player on clay. After his magnificent run on clay courts last year, and a couple of successes (Dubai Open and Monte Carlo title yesterday) this year, I believe Rafa is ready to defend his Rome title and Grand Slam title at Roland Garros.

It's still a long way for Rafa to challenge the #1 ranking from Federer after taking months to recover from injuries. However, he is not far from setting the record for the longest winning-streak (if he wins at Barcelona next week and Roland Garros starting in May).

Vamos Rafael!
