Free body analysis

It's been at the park for quite some time.  I mean the free body analysis banner.  I got curious.  Who knows my body fat % is off the chart right?  I always wanted to go and check but I'm either too focus with my scheduled run or I don't have friend to go with me.  Today was a different story.

After my failed run today, I think I ate something I shouldn't the pain came back after I went to fix it yesterday. It's so frustrating.  My rib felt like it's being crushed when I walk.  I'm back to no laughing and coughing.  I had to end my run before I could reach 4km.  Meet up with my friend and walk with her for 30 mins.  Mind you, that walk wasn't pleasant.  I was groaning all the way, trying to adjust my body so I won't feel it.  But I was complaining the twitch that I wanted somebody to break/kick me so it'll somehow fix it.  It's so annoying, it's driving me nuts.

Going to get it check again tomorrow.

The weight loss journey

I was browsing through some old photos in my facebook album and found this.

Le fat meh :(

New Year of 2009 with Sakuya.  Holy shit! Look at those arm.  WARGH so fat oh me.

Holy shit!  I was overweight back then.  Like over 60kg.

Back then, I was wearing baggy shirt with baggy jeans.  I think I was wearing a US or was it UK size 14.  XL all the way.  *sweat.  No self confidence.  I'm very aware of my body shape and I do not like to show my fat.  I'm not like people who can work their fats when they wear tight clothes.  I hate the way I look most of the time.

Vaguely remembers the actual date when I started jogging.  But I remember it was the time when my bro got dump by his gf (best days of my life) and we were driven to lose weight that time.  It was some time around mid of 2010.  This post shows that after 3 months, I lost 10kg, well roughly.

Sunday 25/03/2012

Here's what happen yesterday.

It's been almost a month that I am smartphoneless.  It's so hard cause I love taking photos and stuff but unable to do so.  It's killing me.  Le sad.  I think I called the service centre like a couple of times but they told me that they try to rush it so I can get it this Thursday.  Not happy.  I wanted to get a new phone but no budget for it.  I'm sort of saving money for an apartment.

Slept around midnight the night before, woke up 3am for my 5am run.  16.09km scheduled run.  My sides were still in pain but I refuse to give up.  Ran with Daniel.  Just the two (2) of us.  Everyone else couldn't make it.  Unable to maintain my pace, stomach ache and the strain near my left rib were too great, tried to pick up the pace but I end up finishing it in more than 2 hours.  That's for going too fast the day before.  I had an 8.05km run on Saturday and that went great.  I did a 6:11 mins pace for that.  *slow clapping at self.

Daniel's Surprise Birthday 2012

I always get nervous when I plan a surprise party for him.

1. The where, when and how - cause he can smell it coming from miles away.  Especially when it comes from me.
2. Present - there's a limitation to what I can get for him.
3. I sometimes run out of ideas what to write on the cake.

But, with the help from my circle of friends, I manage to pull something.

Past birthday surprise - 2008 (gift post), 2009, 2010, 2011 (I just realize I didn't blog post this but there's photos in the album lol).  Weee :)

This year, I initially wanted to just treat him for dinner somewhere he never been and just got him a present, and with the ongoing training for my first full marathon this year, I feel kind of tired to plan one but in the end decided to just go with it.  Discuss it with my chee mui.  Plan to do it at Seven Sea Restaurant but went to that place too often recently.  Sakuya suggested we do at Fullhouse Lifestyle Store & Cafe at Suria Sabah, besides, he haven't been there yet.  *chuckled.

Arkham Horror Boardgame

On a Wednesday night?

More info at BoardGameGeek, here.

We started a bit late, like around 7:30pm.  And this game takes few hours to finish.  But there's only 3 of us.  Le sad.

I played this game before like few years ago but my memory failed me.  Vaguely remembers everything.  To play this game, we need a big table.  1 long table not enough.  We need 2.  Unless you already have a big table then this is not necessary.

1000th post after 2 months of silence...

I'm sorry for the lack of update.  Lets just say I'm less motivated to blog these days.  I'm losing my mojo.  Or mebbe the Full Marathon training since end of last year made me so tired that everytime I got home, I got so lil time to do things.  Okay, wait, wait a minute, I have time to do other things, just when it comes to blogging, my brain gets really tired.  But I'm back now.  And I'm gonna talk about boardgame.   Oh! I realize that if I turn off my computer when I sleep, I sleep better and I wake up early and feels energetic.  DAMN YOU energy sucking mechanism!  Stop sucking my energy when I sleep.  Yes, it took me this long to realize that.  Or mebbe I refuse to believe that le computer sucks energy :)

But, before we get to that.  I wanna say thank you to Sakuya for cooking Japanese curry rice for me yesterday for lunch.  I super <3 it!  It's delicious! :)  Oh, there's little rice there coz I'm minimizing rice intake.  Heck, I don't each rice that often.  I eat pasta though :)

Luk Luk Outing

This was suppose to be a random 3 8 outing but end up to be something else.  The initial plan was to do it at Tanamera, Lintas Square but that place has been close for renovation for weeks.  Decided to move it to Lido Square for Luk Luk King!

Definitely a good turn out.

Price range from RM1, RM1.20, RM1.50 and RM2 depending on the stick color.  And four (4) dips to choose from.

It's 2012 and I've been neglecting my blog

I actually was gonna blog about my year end trip with the CSPians but I got lazy and busy all at the same time. I will probably find some time to blog about the most shortest post first and finish it with that long year end trip post.

Please bare with me.

The month of December

It's nearly year end.  What have I been up to?

Well for starters, 1st week of December wait, more like 2nd week of December on the 10th and 11th to be exact was HobbyCon 2011 5th year anniversary.  And since I have a costume, which I had planned and wore during halloween, might as well right?  I joined the All Star March as Evil McDonald (McMassy).  The difference in face paint.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - final

21st November 2011 (Monday)

Last day in Penang.  I don't wanna go home!  Not yet!  I haven't finish exploring this place yet nouuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ *cries.  I was having a little big of regret for not impulse buying on some of the clothes which are on sale and the food, don't get me started, I wanted to eat a bunch of em.  Friend on the other hand regretted didn't buy more books lmao.  See, I say already.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 3

Woke up at 10pm, had about less than 3 hours of sleep, I guess I was nervous or I just have problem sleeping.  Did 30 push ups and prepared for a hot shower before 11pm, what?! NO WATER?!  WHY?! Omg, that's when I start panicking.  Went downstairs at slightly past 11pm to check what's going on.  There's a pipe burst and they're fixing it.  Only will be able to fix it in less than 2 hours time.  Oh lord, panic mode.  But owner told me I could shower at the toilet downstairs but no hot water.  Okay.jpg.  Went  back up to my room and took my toiletries and towel and went back down.  Before that, I smsed the guys to inform them about it.  Found out later that they just woke up.  Somebody set the alarm clock wrongly *chuckled.

Left the hotel in a cab to the jetty terminal.  Free shuttle bus to Jerejak Jetty every 30 mins.  Just in time.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 2

19th Nov 2011 (Saturday)

Rise and shine!  It's day 2.  I woke up as early as 5am.  Don't ask.  Was lying around with my eyes wide open till around 6 and did a little push ups and got ready by 7am.  

Went to check out New World Park (the place where we had our dinner the night before) if it's open but it's not open yet. It's not even 9am yet.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 Trip - Part 1

I don't know where to start.

I'll make this part by part coz it's gonna be long XD

I contemplate in doing this run but decided to do it and since I manage to drag 2 more people to go with me, we went to register and start booking. I did the flight booking and accommodation for myself and 2 guy friends but couldn't find nearest to the event location. It was my first trip to Penang, I've been wanting to visit but never had the chance to.  My friend been bugging me to book it early (like 6 months early) but I only manage to do it in September, a bit late but it's ok.  Cut the story short I'm gonna start with flying there on the 18th Nov 2011 (Friday).

Been trying to add on when check in for Air Asia bookings but there was an upgrade to the Air Asia website a week before I did the web check-in that I couldn't manage my booking, I end up checking in without the add ons.  Oh well.  Lets just say that whole process of me arranging everything was a stressful one.  

I think it has been a struggle for me a month before the event, I got sick and injured my right leg and it's not healing properly coz I wasn't resting it properly.  Manage to fix it before race date but there's still some minor twitching, so decided to take it slow and don't overdo my running.  Cut down my speedwork and just did normal runs.  It was okay, I could have done better.  Anyways, back to  my flight to Penang on the 18th.

Penang Bridge International Marathon 2011 + Effective Cure for Cough

Another less than a week before the race.  I'm excited and panicking at the same time.  With all the phail runs and leg injury every now and then, today at least I could finish a 10km run.  Last long run before the race.  Do not do anything stewped in between before the race Massy.  So who's going?  Buzz buzz me!  I hope to see you gais there!


I was checking my previous 10km records on my garmin connect and very please, even though it's very minor, I've improved my pace.  So happy.

Halloween Dinner at Party Play 2011

So one day me and the girls (Jna and Sakuya) had this random request and decided to whatsapp Dino on 30th July 2011.

"Halloween party request XD"

And reminded him again a month before Halloween.  And on 29th October 2011, he had planned for a buffet dinner party at Party Play (event page, here) yay~  I think there were a lot of events and party going on the 29th, there was also a Halloween party at Cowboy Bar where L62 were playing (event page, here).

Now before we talk about the event, this is how my costume planning started.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Final

Yes yes, this is a delayed post.  Like way delayed. 

Actually the final was part 4 but since I sort of didn't add the photos of when I was back, so here goes.

Left the hotel in the morning, can just take the pick up to the airport.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 4

Day 4.

Woke up early again.  Had toast for breakfast with milo. After the Chiang Rai trip, this is what I realize.  I'm getting darker.  Can you see my stripey legs.

Went to Waroros Market to look for those pancakes but couldn't find it.  Instead mum and sis went and get some necklace and earrings.  After found what we were looking for, we took Tuk-Tuk to Thapea Gate, where Sunday Night Market was. 

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 3

Day 3: To Chiang Rai we go!

This trip is arranged by Infotopper.com.  The agent at The Plaza.  Most priced almost the same but this is cheaper.  :)  850 baht per person.  1 day trip.  From morning to night.

Sticker, but mine fall off after awhile.

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 2

Day 2 at Chiang Mai.

I don't have trouble sleeping but I always wake up so early.  Way too early.  Everyday I wake up at around 4 or 5am.  I must be crazy.  Morning workout, push up and mountain climber, didn't wanna do any jumping jacks coz I scared I might wake people up with my jumping *rofl.

Breakfast at the hotel.  Self service.  Milo not kick enough and the butter somehow don't taste like the butter I usually have, something is wrong with my taste buds.  Oh yeah, did I mention this place has a lot of coffee stands?

Trip to Chiang Mai, Thailand - Part 1

A week of overdue blog post.  Been wanting to blog about it but I was busy with other stuff and didn't have time to do it.  Even when I have, I got a bit lazy coz the number of photos I took seems to drain me.  Overall I took like almost 700 photos in comparison to my parents and sis who also brought along their camera but didn't use it much.

Before my trip, I decided to get a new point and shoot camera kekeke.  I had 2 choice.  1 is a Lumix (I'm a big fan) and yet another Canon camera.  After researching and getting feedback from my "guru", Flannie, I decided to get the Canon.

Affordable and cute.  I did not want to bring my DSLR around coz I know there will be a lot of walking around and I do not want to strain myself by carrying that bulky camera.  Not unless it's a local trip hehe.

So last week for almost a week I went to Chiang Mai, Thailand with my parents and sis.  Since mum been wanting to go for years, dad decided to plan this trip.  There's no direct flight from Kota Kinabalu to Chiangmai so had to transit to Kuala Lumpur via Air Asia.  And you might think that air ticket is cheap?  Guess again, it cost more than RM1k.  And was estimating it to cost less than that.  It was a 6 days 5 nights trip (well more like 5 days 4 nights since we took the midnight flight last Friday).
