Introducing my workout partner.....

Philips SA1115/97 MP3 Player. Nothing fancy like Ipod (sigh) but it does the job. Been wanting a MP3 player for a longest time I remembered, but only I afford to get one. This one is quite reasonable, 1 GB storage, with FM tuner and recorder, bought it at Cerrefour for RM139.

It really help me to isolate from my surrounding in the gym and focus more on my workout when you ears are plugged with music. And I notice I can work out longer and did not realise time flies as I enjoy the music.

It really helps, if you are planning to work out, I really recommend to do it while your MP3 is blasting with Metallica.

I am back........

Me at the gym...


I am back! Big time... in the GYM that is.
Been going very consistently to the one in Cyberjaya and FF Subang Jaya. FF is better off course, but I need the Cyberjaya GYM as well, for emergencies.

I have lost about 1 kg so far. But I have to make sure that I am loosing fat, and not the muscle mass. Need really to take care of my food intake, have to make sure my protein intake is sufficient and cut don on Carbs.

Hard to get healthy stuff at the stalls, so I am packing my own food now, tuna or smoked chicken sandwich (whole grain bread) Melampau tak?

Anyway my target is reduce my love handle in one month, then after that I will be thinking about bulking up again. For now , I am emphasizing on cardio and off course not neglecting weight training as well.

A gal from GNC just called me, saying that since I am a GNC member, I am getting birthday discount for month of May for 35% !!! And my protein shake has just conveniently ran out yesterday, perfect timing or what!

Somehow, when I have been working out constantly, I feel great, energy level is up and I don't have the mood swing that sometime I have. Its a good thing I found that working out is enjoyable. Thanks God for that!

GYM review time!... again

Well, not exactly a gym, it is the Cyberjaya Community Centre. I think the centre was opened few months back. Ironically, for a Community Centre located right in the MSC, this centre has no website, I couldn't find anything about this in the web.
As my post yesterday, I went to the gym there during lunch and again today. So it is pretty obvious that I am satisfied with it.
The gym is just a moderate room, with about 5 all in weight machines, few treadmills and few (very few) dumbbells and barbells. Overall it a decent gym.

Lunch time crowd there was non-existence. I was the only one there! I had the gym all for my self. The good thing about this is I can switch off the air cond, as I hate a really ice cold gym. I had a great workout!

There is hot shower and locker provided.

So overall I am satisfied satisfied satisfied....

Maybe I should keep this discovery all to myself, or else the place will be so crowded during lunch or on other thoughts, are there anyone out there insane enough to waste their lunch out for a workout?

Smeagol hates that fat Hobbit!

I am so fat now. I must do something about my weight. It has been really difficult lately to hit gym with my current shift. But something need to be done.
I checked out the Cyberjaya Community Centre. Quite good facility there and they have a reasonable gym there, RM5/entry, quite cheap huh!
Planning to go during lunch, starting today.

I need to blog this or else I will drag myself to that gym.

Wish me luck!!!


At least this will give me a peace of mind from work/politics during lunch time!

Been there before.........

I hate this, I have been at this moment before, it is like deja vu 'all over again'.
I am here just to do my work, get my salary and go home and live a life. Nothing else.
I don't come to office to socialize, to gossips nor it is my hobby! I come here to make a living, to make ends meet, I have a goal, it is for money, it is simple as that.

I really don't want to be involved in the dirty world of office politics, it sounds impossible, to avoid it, I agree. Most likely I will be labeled as 'unfriendly' or 'tukang kipas' or whatever other label. But I really don't give a damn. I am tired, tired of being a victim, I just can't take this anymore.

Thats it, I really going to ignore my surroundings now. Playing dumb. Come to office, work and go home. Simple as that

I have a life ok!

Spending all your money money.....

Extra expenses this month:

  • car insurance
  • road tax
  • Security service payment ( for 3 months, one shot !!!)
  • Family vacation, everybody had to chip in
  • Driving license expired, have to renew ( I am illegal driver now)
The only silver lining is that (bright blinding silver lining that is) this month would be my last car payment! Yahooooo.....................
