Event Updates: Malacca Trip

Event: Malacca Trip
Venue: Mahkota Century Resort
Date: 24th-26th March 2006

My bro in law (wife's bro) organised a family vacation to Malacca. It was quite a number of people joined, my parents, in laws and nieces. Booked to apartment, a bit crowded but it was ok.

Highlight of the events:

• Dinner at the Medan Ikan Bakar in Umbai.
• Lunch at Assam Pedas Cottage (really good Nyonya food)
• Shopping at the bandar Melaka (bought mostly sourveniors) My mum bought "Assalamualakim" sign for our new house. MIL bought a wind chime Brunei aunty bought a decorative bamboo archery set for the house. Me and wife bought a tudung saji and Sarawal Wall decoration.
• Swimming in the pool.
• Parents and Parents in law went to Pulau besar.
• Went to A Famosa and the Museum.

The Decorative Arrow.....

I guess what still lingers in my mind is the Assam Pedas....sedap tak terkata!

Feel Good Time...........

I am so proud of myself. Even surprised myself, been going to gym daily. I decided that I should go to gym from Mon-Thurs during lunch time. Friday-Sunday is the rest day, need to give body to recuperate and muscle to repair.

The GYM pretty cool now. They replaced all the treadmill to the canggih one. And there a lot more machines added. Really glad signed up at Fitness First John Hancock.

Well.... to my surprised, when I was working on my shoulder last Tuesday, I noticed that the veins on my shoulder popped out!!! Wow, I was really glad, I always wanted the veins to show, but after the work out , it was not visible already. Nevertheless, I was happy, maybe I need to give it more time. Have to be patients.

Massive Shoulder ! (really nice if could get shoulder like this)

Nowadays, I am having kickass workout. Feel really energetic, mainly it is due to the new method I am trying. I am doing Cardio about 10-15 min (about 2km running) then followed by weight training. Since my body all warmed up from the cardio, I feel more energetic during weight training.

Today I really blasted by legs, tomorrow is the ouch day....going to really FEEL it tomorrow, but I enjoyed the pain anyway, it is called DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), it suppose to hurt the next day, it is caused by microscopic tears in your muscle fibers, and muscle tissues is rebuilding...to become stronger!

Chow...body hurt like hell............

A New Hope?

Hope can be a dangerous thing. If you built youlife around it, it might consume you! But hope is what makes me go through my days. I realized that without hope we got no positive outlook on life. Hope just what hope is, it is the silver lining we see in every problem we faced, we hope that things will change for better, we hope that miracle will happen and we hope and hope...

It is just getting scarier the more I hope, the more I am scared of the dissapointment. Will my heart be strong enough to face it?

Ya Allah, grant me this one wish.....that's all I am asking.
