Mee and I have been taking our supplements for quite sometime now. As mentioned in my previous post, I believe that supplements do help in every way. We tend not to change the brands and types of supplements unless there are better offers on other brands. One day, while we were shopping at Lidl, I saw pet supplements in the pet food section. I never thought that there were supplements for pets. Thinking back, Mee once told me that her mother actually gave their pets, paracetamol to eat when they were ill. Funny, isn’t it?

I have decided on which car insurance quote I am going to buy. However, I have not bought it yet even though my car insurance ends on the 19th July. Well, I still have time anyway, another five days.
Like what people normally do, I got various quotes from different price comparison websites. I also tend to visit individual insurance companies for quotes which did not show on those price comparison websites. In fact, the best quote I got was by going into individual insurance companies for quotes. One thing which I found frustrating was the fact that I constantly received calls from price comparison websites asking me about car insurance, home insurance as well as my term life insurance quote. I have only asked for car insurance and in the tick boxes of the form which I filled in, I have chosen to not receiving any third party advertisement or calls regarding other services. I wonder why my information was still given out.
Weird weather. While I was on my way to work, it rained half way but not at my workplace nor at home and it was bright and sunny at that time.
Tomorrow, I will be attending a software training session for half a day. Definitely a busy week for me because after the training, I will need to setup a server connection and installing on users’ computers. At the same time, I am busy with my Samsung Omnia. I have been trying to change configurations and also update some of the software that I have installed previously. Well, I know that I have not been updating All My Reviews but soon enough, I will be publishing some posts about the software that I have used on my Samsung Omnia. Hope that it will not be too long.
A the moment, I am trying to get my head straight and which is why I have been doing short posts.

Start from tomorrow, it will be two weeks without my manager. I will have to do and decide almost everything on my own. I still have my department manager and ex-manager to consult though. The one thing which gives me headache would be the integration of barcodes to our existing system. There are other tasks that require attention too but it is the deadlines that separate them all. A complete set of barcode printer, barcode scanner and barcode software are necessary but it is the integration that seems to be impossible. Well, who would want to integrate barcoding to a system that is not developed by them? Even our system supplier does not have that kind of solution. Thus, I believe that it will be up to our department manager to decide whether or not the integration plays an important role in order to achieve the ultimate goal of the project.
Again, tomorrow indicates the start of yet another busy week at Aquadrome; swimming, classes and weights. More importantly, our spinning instructor is back and no more crappy stand in instructors.

This morning was kind of disaster. My spinning instructor is away for a week and today’s spinning class was replaced by another ‘instructor’. Well, that instructor was incompetent and not as good as the usual spinning instructor. She could not lead the group well and she had to catch her own breath in which she stopped and watched us spinning. When she stopped, she would look around and walk while shouting at us to carry on and spin as hard as we could. One guy left the class as soon as the instructor came in and I knew the reason at the end of the class.
In the evening, I went to Aquadrome again with Mee and we met our gym instructor. We chat a while and found out that he will be going to a party tonight. He even has a Halloween invitations already. That is kind of too early to have a Halloween invitation. By the way, this week is the customer satisfaction week and it ends tomorrow. We went to meet the facility manager, who holds the customer satisfaction week, a few days ago to comment about the facilities. Overall, the staffs were alright but it was the cleanliness that we stressed to the facility manager. Let’s hope that he will do a good job after the customer satisfaction week.

I almost woke up late today and it is Friday. Hmm… that’s usual. I will normally wake up on time on Monday and later and later towards weekend. Saturday is still my favourite day of the week. If Mee reads this, she will probably think that Saturday is my favourite day because she needs to work. And that leaves me alone whole day. Well, that is not entirely the case. To me, Saturday is the beginning of the weekend and I will be having the most extensive workout of the week.
My swimming skill is still on average. Of all the learners who undertake the swimming lessons with me, I am the average one. I still find it difficult to synchronise the movement of my legs and my hands as well as breathing. I guess, it all down to practise and practise.
