Someone stood me up again today. In the past when this happened, I would always ask myself if the problem was me – if I was simply not good enough to be even given the opportunity to meet the other party.

But now, I have become so zen about the entire ‘flying me an aeroplane’ thing. I am no longer upset and disappointed. Rather, I know such people cannot be taken seriously. If they cannot keep their word to turn up, what more can you expect of them?

On a more serious note, I pity them actually as they have missed the opportunity to learn from me and extract maximum value. It’s their loss, not mine..hehe…

有些人以为他们可以一手遮天、瞒天过海、我行我素、所以继续嚣张下去。明知已经犯了错还不肯悔改，真的是不见棺材不落泪。

我看你还能嚣张多久。

Here’s some good news to share with everyone! I’m very happy to have made it to the finals of the Watsons YOU Awards 2010 for the Sporty Physique category.

The annual Watsons YOU Awards seeks to celebrate the uniqueness and individuality of the contestants in 8 different categories. The category that I’m competing in is the Sporty Physique category. The Sporty Physique category Award is given to the person who enjoys exercise and has a good body to make heads turn.

I recall the first qualifying round where all interested parties had to submit two photos – one full body shot and one close up zooming in on the body part we wanted to highlight. Then it was waiting to see if one made the next cut in the audition round.

Fast forward to the audition round…Out of the 12 of us who made it, 5 were chosen to advance to the finals. Now in the finals, as in any other competition, there are rules by which we have to abide.

Unlike the qualifying round where our best bodies were already scrutinised by the panel of judges and the audition round where we were assessed on our personality, the finals is a different kettle of fish. Yes, you have the goods. Yes, you have the personality. Now, do you have the popularity?

The winner of the Sporty Physique Award goes to the person with the highest number of public votes. It is solely determined by public voting which starts from 8 Jul to 21 Jul 2010.

The best thing in this competition is that I’m returning to my roots where it all started for me when I first decided to launch my career in the fitness industry.

If you have been a faithful reader of my blog and like my postings; or admire my courage to transform myself from a scrawny, sickly hermit to a lean, toned, confident individual; or love the work I now do in helping others lead a quality lifestyle in fitness and grooming, then please vote for me.

Here’s how to vote for me in 3 simple steps. You can vote once a day for the entire duration of the competition (yes, competition ends on 21 Jul 2010). So do not hesitate, take action now & support me.
