New exercise...hehehehe

Now days I seldom do any sports anymore.....my exercise regime really goes down the drain d n I seem to eat more also. I think I mention in one of my past post (suffer suffer) regarding how I suffer if I join a sport event now days.

However now days I have new exercises d. One of it happen accidently....which is walking to office and back every single day. Errr...b4 u guys think 'Wah..so keng ah, walk to work ah"...well...I do walk to work..but not from my house lah. I walk from KLCC to Jln Pinang...which is only bout 10 minutes away. I always try to walk fast....hence can exercise a bit also.

Then second exercise I found...hehehehe....this one more fun n tiring. It involve my sayang also, without her, I can't do it alone....well...at least not so enjoying lah. Since I see my sayang almost daily...I decided to carry her (piggyback) up the stairs to my apartment unit on the 8th floor. So far manage to do 6 floors d. Also I do squats while carrying her too....so far manage 20 times lah b4 my "peha" muscle gives way.

My objective is I am able to do 50 squats while carrying her....and also walk up 12th floor of stairs while carry her....ganbate.

Jadi lembu.....

For those who do not understand Bahasa Malaysia...."Jadi lembu" simply means "becoming a cow". You might be wondering what does that got to do with me....hehehe...well, here is the story.

Basically "jadi lembu" is a tag we conned out to refer to people who have to become a porter (willingly or un-willingly) in jungle trekking. Most of the "lembu" are actually good hearted kind people who helped others on their lugguage during the trip. These are the people who usually take more load in order for the others to enjoy the hike.

so here is the story.....

My cousin (Eric) has invited me to join his company trip to Mt Irau last week. He has asked for my assistance in guiding the newbies (well...all of the rest never climbed Irau b4) however I am a little reluctant. Reason is I am a bit tired of guiding newbies becuase I have just did so about a month ago at Mt Tahan. Hence on this trip, I volunteer to be the porter....aka "lembu".

Besides have to carry extra heavy loads as compared to others.....the "lembu" also have to reach the campsite early as he/she (oh yeah...there are female "lembu"s also but not in this trip) usually carries the tent(s). The main advantage is that the "lembu" don't have to wait for others and can just race all the way up.

Actually this is not the 1st time I become a "lembu"...tried is b4 last year in Irau also. For short weekend trips with newbies...i would prefer to be the "lembu" than becoming the guide and organizer....coz if anything goes wrong, the furious climbers don't come after me...hehehehehe.

Working in KL.....

Finally I got transfered to a client which is located smack in the middle of KL. Not that I have anything against the client....but it is the location of work which is a bit troublesome.

For those who do not know....KL (stands for Kuala Lumpur) is the capital of Malaysia. Its a majestic place where development has rapidly took place (big n tall buildings rising everywhere) but still you can see many lushes of greens scattered ard the areas. It is also the home to the world tallest twin tower, The Petronas Towers.

The big problem KL faces (like any other major metrpolis in the world) is heavy traffic congestion. Cars are not cheap in here as compared to other major cities, but it is too easy to get a car loan here, hence almost everyone has a car. When it come to working hours and balik rumah hours.....traffic congestion is at its peak. For those who are driving...it is very common to spend easily 3 hours on the road each day due to traffic congestion. Just imagine if we can reduce this time to an hour....I'm sure everyone is happy to get an extra 2 hours of sleep rite.

For me....luckily I ride motorbike to work hence din kena must of the jam. Took me ard 1/2 hour to cover 20 kms (imagine lah, avarage speed is 40km/j only) at peak time, which is very good compared to average 1 hour if by car. The only problem is it is really dangerous. Also if it rains....triple the danger becoz the road is slippery. Well..this is why I don't prefer to work in KL.

Microchip number 0383458098100004131

I came upon an atricle in The Star newspaper about a month ago regarding a turtle and river terrapin conservation program launched by Aquaria KLCC with partnership from The Body Shop, The Royal Mint of Malaysia and Media Prima.

The purpose of the program is to collect enuf $$$ to sponsor the effort to tag 1500 endangered species of turtles and river terrapins to be released back into the sea. The ability to track the turtles through the microchips will contribute to the survival of the turtles. Full story of this program can be read at Adopt a turtle project.

After reading the article....I make up my mind to contribute towards this program. Eventhough it took me a month....finally I make a trip to Aquaria KLCC and contributed towards this project. I am given the opportunity to name the turtle...n I call it Beckz...hehehe...nice or not the name :)

Strange AC

I also dunno what happen to the AC system in the place I work. Sometimes it will just blow hot air.....then shut down completely. Else sometimes no AC totally for the whole day.

Recently people complain that the AC is not very well distributed...hence the contractor came n make few more AC outlets. Then the AC compressor n blower went "kaput"....so here comes the contractor again to fix the compressor. Afterthat...the AC got so hot...strangely on on certain outlet...hence its possible for 1 room to have 1 outlet with cold air and another with hot air.

So afgain the contractor came again to fix it....then found out they din do a proper job last time and hot air from the compressor room is leaking into the AC tube. Took them few days to solve it...and for unfortunate people like me and my colleagues, few days of suffering.

Finally now solve d....and our rooms now feel like meat freezer. Seriously...its damm bloody cold...and the best thing is, there is no way we can adjust the temperature....maybe the contractor forgotten bout this feature.

What I know from this is...the contractor came many times, get paid many times....and we still have temperature problem. No wonder the contractors are driving big cars n eating good food everyday.

Swmming...gambate

Haihzzzz....what can I say....so malu lah. Panjat bukit I ok, naik gunung ok, scuba diving ok, free diving ok, lumba lari ok, kayuh basikal ok......only swimming tarak ok.

Dunno apasal....maybe coz lack swimming, that's y skill tarak baik. Now do DM training...ada swimming test lagi...adui....kena improve ni. Actually quite malu lah, Rescue Diver swimming tarak ok...haihzzzz.....dissapointed.

Anyway now got motivation to swim liao...I wanna be good swimmer n excel in all the stamina assestment in DM training....gambate.

Watch movie (part 2)

After being late for movie liao...nevermind lah...just proceed with it. Anyway only miss bout 5 minutes only...but I think miss a lot of funny scenes d...coz can hear people laughing d. Afterall..it is Sherk 3....famous funny cartoon...hehehehe.

Masuk cinema saja...realize its full pack n mostly are parents with their kids...hehehe. Tak ramai couple couple pun...hehehehe. Anyway...proceed with the movie.

Shrek 3
Continuation of the 2nd installment of the same series. This time saying the King of Far Far Away mati liao n Shrek become the king. He dowan jadi king, so he go find Arthur which is the next in line being king after Shrek.

Then while Shrek is away....Prince Charming team up with all the bad fairy tale characters (like Captain Hook, Cinderella's step sisters....etc) to conquor Far Far Away. He succeded and took over control of Far Far Away. His main objective is he wanna stage a theater play of him killing Shrek and rescuing the princess.....so funny punya objective.

When Shrek know his kingdom kena tawan liao n his Pricess Fiona in danger...he also cepat cepat rush back to Far Far Away n rescue his maiden princess n seize back the Kingdom. At the end...everyone also live happily ever after lor.....except for Prince Charming....hehehehe

Anyway...the plot of the story is very simple sajalah as u can read above....however the movie seriously funny lah. The script writers really know how to make things funny...like when Donkey change body with Puss. Then Puss try to make the cute face while he is in Donkey's body....funny lah, so ugly wan.

For those who wants a serious laugh after a bz day....i seriously recommend this movie. Go catch it while it is on cinema....don't go buy the pirated VCD at pasar mlm k :)

Watch movie (part 1)

Suppose yest (Sunday 10th June) don't have aything to do wan....except helping Richard to shift his stuffs to his new house in the morning. In the afternoon...I was really tired d....took a short nap n afterthat browse ard on the net.

Ard 4.30PM...Beckz IM me asking wanna go watch movie or not. Since its been quite sometime since I last watch movie with her...hmmm...why not then. We din't want to go to cinemas with long queue n high chance of sold out ticket....so we decided to go to GSC IOI Mall in Puchong. Movie to watch is Shrek 3.

Reach the cinema ard 5.30pm...still manage to get the 5.50pm movie....hehehe. Since we got some time, I decided to get some sorethroat med coz I am having sorethroat. Went to "a famous" pharmacy at ground floor n get myself a packet of Strepsils.
Ahhhhh....finally some relieve for my sorethroat.

I proceed to check out n pay for the med. The cost is RM 3 and I paid RM 10. The cashier pay me back RM 2 only....so I told her that she made a mistake on returning change. I told her I paid RM 10 so she have to pay me back RM 7...instead she kept on insisting she receive only RM 5 from me. I know I din make any mistakes as I have used up all my small change for the movie ticket....only left RM 10 and RM 50 notes in my wallet only. I insisted I paid RM 10....and the cashier still insist its RM 5.

Lastly the cashier called her supervisor...n they procedded to do a checkout of the money in the cashier drawer. This is a very long process as they have to count all the money in the drawer...but I don care, I insist I am right. When they started counting, time is already 5.45pm....another 5 more minutes to my movie.

Finally after counting...they found out that they have extra Rm 5 and few cents in the drawer compared to the transactions registered in the system. This means they owe me the RM 5 lor...means I correct lor....n means they made me late for my movie. Anyway....we were 5 minutes late for the movie....however at least I did stood up for something I strongly know I am right....ada sikit rasa puas hati.

Smart..., nice..., elegant..., intelligent....and spooky

One of the client place I work for.....is actually quite a nice building, looks good from the street and has good interior also. What makes me amazed is the lift it uses....simply superb. To describe it...I categorized the "superbness"...see below:

Smart/intelligent
This lift very smart....when u press he button to call at lift, it has a system which could designate empty lift for you. Also you don't have to wait for a long time to catch a lift....the system will "kau tim" it for you....serious wan.

Nice
This is nice lift, no smelly smelly smell and conteng conteng wan. Got 1 big piece of mirror inside also...so you can comb hair, adjust tie, pull zipper....etc b4 meet your boss/client.

Elegant
This is high class lift ah...ur journey is very smooth. Kenot feel it jalan n stop wan. Also got voice inside mentioning which floor you reached...except for floor 3A which is a new floor numbering.

Spooky
Sometimes it sendiri can open before you press the button wan....like can read mind. Scary ler...summo here so many potential heart attack people, the management should disable this feature b4 any unseen accident happens.

The best feature of the lift which I notice since the 1st day I came here until now is.....when u take a lift to go down..the auto announcement will sound "Goin down *long pause* going up only"....hehehehe...before closing the door n start decending.

Intelligent leh :p

No fish for me please.....tq

Actually I do not really fancy eating fish since long long time ago.....reason is becoz I am lazy...hehehehe. I like to eat meat with less/no bone....no need to get my hand messy peeling the bones out of the meat. I also don't really like eating crusteceans...for the simple reason that I have to peel the shell of it before savoring the meat.

Hence in my menu....crab, prawn and fish is not among the favourites. In fact I don't really eat crabs anymore. I remember treating my friends to dinner on my 27th b'day...we went to a restaurant n order 4 kilos of crabs for 2 different type of dish. I did not touch any of those crab at all...hehehehe...don't think anyone notice also the one who feed the bill did not take the main dish also :p

Fish is an absolute 'no' to me....for the simple reason that there are just too many bones in it. I don't really like to slowly lick n "shiun" the tiny pieces of fish flesh sticking to its bones. However if you give me fish fillet and burgers....I will eat it. Well...basically I am just pure lazy...I like my meat to be free of bones....or shell...hehehehe.

Now days since I took up SCUBA diving....I manage to see how nice the fish (those that we eat) looks alive underwater. The ever famous and expensive "shet yu" (direct translation is snow fish) or known as Barramundi Cod...is such a pretty fish. How can we ever eat such a pretty thing....u just imagine eating your pet hamster or kitten.

Another hing I do not like is the finning of sharks for shark fin. This is a must for chinese dinner....not sure whether it represent anythings beside status becoz shark fin is consider an expensive dish. Recently in my friend's wedding, I did not touch a bit the shark fin soup...no tq.

I am not sure whether what I am doing is foolish, but I think for the time being, I'll stick to my policy of

"no fish please".... :)

Suffer suffer

I realize like half a year ago....my weekly after work schedule is something like below:

Monday - Swimming
Tuesday - Badminton
Wednesday - Sometimes badminton, sometimes rock climb, sometimes up-hill running
Thursday - Badminton
Friday - Rock climb
Saturday - Badminton
Sunday - Tidur...hehehehehe

Those days.....really fit. Everysday wake up feel very energized and ready to seize the day. Walk up stairs for 10 stories also won't lose my breath...in fact consider just warm up.

The lately I kinda review my weekly after work schedule...its sadly looks like below:

Monday - Lepak at home
Tuesday - Lepak at home
Wednesday - Lepak at home
Thursday - Lepak at home
Friday - Lepak at home
Saturday - Lepak at home
Sunday - Lepak at home

Every morning wake up feeling lethargic....not energized n lazy to seize the day also. Walk stairs for 10 stories also wanna putus breath d...so dangerous. Panjat Gunung Tahan also damm un-fit d....so slow.

I also dunno why suddenly in few months time....I din do so many of my sports activities d. Part of the reason I can think of are:

- Kerja d so not much time.
- Always rain...so susah for me.
- Got distrated...kekekekeke.
- Pure laziness...heheheh

Yest I make a point to go for badminton.....this is one sport I don't want my skill to get anymore worst. I used to train with a bunch of friends....though all of us stop training for quite sometime d. However few of them still play badminton actively...and their level now is just so high. When I see this, I am so sad....how come my level din reach thiers...instead becoming bad now. I make a vow that I will continue to imporve myself in badminton...at least get myself back to the level I used to be....ganbate.

Today....suffering the consequences of yest badminton. Push too much d...now "bahu" very sakit....sad sad. Also lower back too sakit...sad sad.

hiahzzzz...apa dah jadi sama ku...... :(
