Today we went to Bukit Tinggi. It was a half day fun trip with some little surprises. We were quite happy lah today able to spend the next day of a public holiday in a nice cooling place and also the weather is in favour of us.. just nice cloudy and little sun for an hour or so..

Then after that we went to Bentong and had the famous kaw po ice kacang for abc and ice cream and also the nasi lemak.

Come to think of it today we had chinese food for breakfast which is pan heong porridge and cantonese fried. Western set for lunch.. and local delicacy for late tea time dessert.

I was really happy this few days to be able to spend good quality time with my gf since her birthday. Thanks dear for the wonderful time together!

Doubt or no doubt..

As I was reading Princess Amidala blog.. she sprung out something interesting about making a reconciliation in separated love relationship.

Well, I was trying to re jog my old memories and how a comeback in love couple relationship likes..

Its sometime a no easy tasks when one love the other person and the other person is insensitive to the wants and needs of the others. Somehow being independent in loving relationship does reflect maturity. .Yet, its a two communications stuff and the word relationship actual if you break it down is RELATE... RELATION... SHIP..

So obviously RELATE has got a lot to do with communication.. and RELATIONS goes further into certain extend of tie and understanding in this communication.. SHIP is something going on board and committed to it.. like friendSHIP.. your level of on board the deck with friend does has it value between both of you..

yet.. love couple relationship goes further and to certain degree of intimacy. Well, I take into account that this love relationship is 1 to 1 rules.. else read no more if your disagree with my thought.. ahaha..

Being in a relationship sometime does take hardwork and understanding. If you are with someone with likemindedness and have so much common and interests and goals ..then it will be much easy. .but some ppl label it as boring .. :p..

Anyway, its not everyone that will surely ended up with someone that has such common ground all the time.. I think sometime we could love someone of the opposite side.. both side need to work towards certain understanding and the level of sacrifices that is willing from both party.

There are of course no guarantee happily ever after especially in these day society which we shoulder upon ourselves with hope and dreams so much that we are willing for forgo sometime that ultimate values in having a loving and true relationships.

I took a long time to understand too. I don't really have a role models in front of my eyes. I only see my parents growing in love and care until I am age 8 years old.. after that all hell broke lose..

It was a stony ride for me and I do learn in the process anyway. Still learning though. I hope to improve much better.

I think when you are in love with someone. You gotta take time to care and love for that person. I think it is also a daily affair no matter how busy we are at time. You need to share and grow and sometime self-checking as well.. have we take thing for granted.. I think it does take some interesting works.. but the process is so much interesting and fun if both party could work it out lah...

Amanda, pertaining to the question you ask ... I do ask myself long time ago. I think there is no such definite answer.. Now the choice is whether you want to dive into that reservoir again or not.. time will tell... and from my experience ...after sometime of being together again.. you will know it... I think from my experience to best describe a comeback in a love relationship is as the quote below ( my 2 cents tot ) :-

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

~Wayne W. Dyer

Register for Chin Woo Biathlon today

Went to register for the Chin Woo Biathlon today.. 13th December. Wish me luck!!

I am in.. start to change for cycling to running now..

Make that a change

I felt I had much greater responsibilities in life lately. and I really have to set a lot of priority straight.

There are a lot of things that keep us stagnant and after sometime.. we are go comfortable and set in and we are not willing to change la...

So today will mark a new journey to better equip my head and run thru... this book..

get the zest from the geniuses and we will work closer to our goal.

So hopefully to find some profound ideas and enlightenment through here.

Damn..am I not curious now? Learning from Englishmen is boring sometime.. the resourcefulness is more than practicality at time. what the heck.. as long as it is useful.

“When you're finished changing, you're finished.”

Sleep as part of training regime

I am a master of cheating sleep. I sleep 5 - 6 hours a day. That is enough to get through ...of course provided that your body does not have too much toxic.

Now, after much talk to a friend who have actual solid 6 packs.. yea.. sleep cannot be forfeited.. The muscles tissues takes 24-48 hours to heal depend on age as well. Therefore sleep play an important part to get the performance.

So even if you forfeit your sleep, you will crave more fat as well. Hmmm..speaking of that.. it could be quite true. Therefore, I am going to sleep 6 - 7 hours everyday now for my body to work at optimum pace. No point having a moodswing during training and annoyance all the time. I had that before and now working intelligently to change that.

So gonna knock out early these day.. If you see me offline early.. dont kacau me by calling me!!

The power of Now

In 1914 Thomas Edison’s factory in West Orange, New Jersey, was virtually destroyed by fire. Although the damage exceeded $2 million, the buildings were insured for only $238,000 because they were made of concrete and were thought to be fireproof. Much of Edison’s life work went up in smoke and flames that December night. At the height of the fire, Edison’s 24-year-old son, Charles, searched frantically for his father. He finally found him, calmly watching the fire, his face glowing in the reflection, his white hair blowing in the wind.
“My heart ached for him,” said Charles. “He was 67 — no longer a young man — and everything was going up in flames. When he saw me, he shouted, “Charles, where’s your mother?” When I told him I didn’t know, he said, ‘Find her. Bring her here. She will never see anything like this as long as she lives.’”
The next morning, Edison looked at the ruins and said, “There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start anew.”
Three weeks after the fire, Edison managed to deliver the first phonograph...

Thomas Edison is a living proof of someone who live in the NOW.. I was so amaze when he see his lifework was gone up into flame and yet.. He was standing there watching it and asking his son to look for the mother to watch the factory gone up into smoke. I could only stared at maze how this great men outrun our mediocre thought.

I would want to adopt his kind of optimistic thinking and hell what have we got to lose anyway.

There are a month and less than 10 days before the year runs out.

I am going to make the best of it. What are you going to do?

cRy over spilled milk and get the best out of it?

There are so many people that is less fortunate in the world. Lets remember that and being grateful we still have our precious home and decent life.

I was in a seminar yesterday and the lady author quote a taiwanese monk that said : -

"We have little need in life.. too many wants in life"

Yup.. sometime to live in frugality is best and be happy.

Today my friend Lam shared with me.. he drove a big car..well, the happiness may last that several weeks and after that it is nothing. Sometime we are so caught up chasing material and illusionate success that we forfeit our own happiness and true joy in life.

So what do we gain in the end... being lonely and selfish and self gratifications.

Learn to be content and living every seconds in utmost joy..

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

“I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.”

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Derrick & Teresa Wedding

They asked me to scan their old days photos which convert into slide today for their wedding. This is one of their younger day. Both have been together for a long time n0w and finally the ceremony and dinner was done tonight.

I was very happy for this couple ler. The saying a friend in need is a friend indeed. Both of them have been a very good friend to me through thick and thin.

Seeing them into the next phrase in life and welcoming a newborn soon will be much joy and delight!!

To be continue soon..

A message to Jesus

Dear Jesus,

Its been sometime since we talk. I was looking at Team Hoyt official site and song that was talking about you.

I can only Imagine.

I ask for your forgiveness again for I have neglected you. Sometime I wonder whether you do exist or not... or whoever that could be the real creator.

I do not know and sometime I am not sure anymore.

Yet, dear Jesus, I still remember in the presence of your worship, I found the joy and that peace that is overflowing. If it is you.. I want to say thank you.

Recently, I had fallen in love with a women. She is beautiful in my eyes. She is special to me too.. I believe she will stand up and find that peace someday as well.

I can only imagine your grace and love for us when you hang yourself on the cross. Sometime I still think will this actually works. Yet I feel that love and forgiveness from God the Father himself.

Dear Jesus, I hope I could talk to you more and be as transparent as possible. Well, you know everythings anyway...

Thank you!

To someone who run 1000 miles in 11 days, 20 hours 36 min. 56 sec... you got to listen to him

That is Stu Mittleman...

Today he blackberry us with something that is really encouraging...

The first line is :-

"Success is the SELF satisfaction derived from the SELF knowledge in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming."

Then follow by something that is really really encouraging..

That quote on "Success" comes from John Wooden, who never worried about "scoreboard". If success is defined by "self" then you can be "free" of the fear of failure as defined by others. You may not, in the end get what you set out to do, yet if you walk away with the belief you did your best - you can NEVER LOSE!

wEll, hope it keep you guys going...

and I am going to sleep. .my pair of legs is soring.. I need to rest.. I need to wake up and do my exercise.. I want my 6 packs abs.. badly.. and pain after all is temporary...

Hope this new phone last and last.. and it come with a screen protector ...how cool is that.. but i still miss my old slick phone.

I am rather please that my dear dear is willing to go through the "self-improvement" program for herself. I hope she will do well!!!

I hope I will be real proud of this women someday. To begin with is today where she promised to start the program and some other stuff that help her become an overcomer. My greatest hope she will consistently follow through the program for the next few months to come. Would you my dear?

There is this beautiful song by Steven Curtis Chapman. It is such a simple and lovely song and I always wish if I find someone I love I would want to do just that for her.

It's been a long time since I want to sing this song from my heart to you.. dear.. I would want to sing this song to you over and over again to you , my beloveth Shaw Yi...

I WILL BE HERE

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.

About what was said...

I just read some stuff on he is not that into you.. yea.. most also apply to men as well.

There is time where we can't do about the situation.. don't be? It takes both to tango..

Perhaps will just let it slowly fade away.. let time take it cause...

The best part is talking about partners calling each other on the phone.. I only left to ponder ler sometime..

Thank you for making me understand Mr. Stuart.. Well, I think I see it all clearly now.

It is time to re-establish priority.

As it is said ... it takes both to tango...

What a Sunday

Well, light off from 11pm from Sunday night to Thursday nite.. same game, different stroke.

Lists of salad vege to buy from Carrefour afterward. It is nothing fancy but the crowd could be killing on a Sunday evening.

I would want to jump on every bandwagons of opportunities to see how it fare never to to carpe diem!

I would love to watch Mahathir on ASTRO 555 tonight but my old man hardcore chinese channels mana ada subscribe..

oh.. waiting up 5am has been such a long time affair.. but to achieve my target.. I can't bet on the evening weather.. Perhaps 60 minutes of stationery cycle at home in front of Astro is a good idea to boost the calories burning.

Time for HEROES now..

Physical target

To build 6 packs abs by year new year is barely possible. Well, at least I hope for a 4 packs.

Whatever it is, it got new really excited to follow up on other plan in life as well.

Now there will be few interesting challenge to this aspects and I want to prove that I could do it soon.

Be all you can be.. like the army.

Now here is the leftover target that I intend to do which I did not do this year.

1. Ride from house to Port Klang and back - RB

2. Ride from house to Bentong and back -RB

3. Ride up to Genting Highlands from HOA and back to HOA –MTB

4. Ride up to Fraser’s Hill from KKB and back to KKB - RB

5. Ride up to Cameron Highland from Tapah and back to Tapah -RB

Let's see I could do all this before the year runs out.

Whoever want to bet with me.. RM1000.00 on the plate.. throwing the gauntlet now..

If I succeed I will take your RM1000.00 , If I DNF.. you take my RM1000.00.

Any taker? :p

It's Friday...

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

-Mahatma Gandhi

I have been in a disturbing states recently. A lot of concerns had run through my head.

At least now I am able to slot myself out of the situations and reexamine myself.

It is very important for us to daily to ponder upon reflections of our life.

Now since I am void of worries and that inner peace again.

I want to understand more. I am reading THE POWER OF NOW again in a more delightful way.

Stop the time and space for awhile and seek understanding for calm my mind.

This is a very good book. It enforce me to learn to live Now.

I will share what I have come to understand in a short while.

Suddenly everything seems to calm and joyful.

The answer is clear..

Yes.. The decision has been established.

Good luck to her.

An important decision

I made an important decision just now.

I hope if she really treasure and want to continue this relationship,

she will do something about this "thing" that is hindering our relationship.

I really wonder am I really important to her ? or that "thing" is more important?

Only she know....

It's up to her to decide what she want now..

Numero Uno...

It was a tough night yesterday.. usually I will gave in..yet after doing it so many times.. I could easily take control of the situation.

There is no dinner or supper. Just plain water melon and few grapes at home and a slice of bread. The mental game is sometime tough.. The secret is to break the first few barriers and the fuckin' willpower.. and most importantly you must clearly see it you are reaching your goal already jor..

This morning is 98kg with 36.3 % body fat.

Yesterday night was 99.3kgs.. I think what I have set to understand and the whole massive constant action actually make it easy for me to get to my January 1st goal.

This time I had wise up.. I am not going to lose anymore muscles. I need to curiously alter my diet to gain that 4 packs then 6 packs..

Well, that is only part of the program that I am exciting about..

There are few things that past weeks were haunting me and fear conquer on me.. As I begin to seek knowledge and understanding.. curiosity really kills the cats. It is all being taken care off..

Now is to diligently work my way and learn from people to reach my goals.!!! Viola!!

“I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.”

Anthony Robbins

The new shape

It was hell of a ride this morning.. I mean hell... Yes..after 3 months of putting the bike a side.. something has to go wrong.. not the bike but the rider..

Yet... I am looking forward to achieve my weight goal..

1st January a new shape awaiting..

Why am I so confidence? I know the drill and I am committed to it.

I will post my new shape on January 1st..

Inch by inches..

Some of you are thinking that you won't fight.

Others, that you can't fight.

They all say that,

until they're out there

There could be hope...

Latest by tonite only they will decide....

Now I am paranoid.

WAKE UP CALL!!

I love what Khoo post today and I would like to share it here with everyone. Hope it stir some thoughts..

Is there a cow in our life that need to die?

Once Upon a Cow by Camilo Cruz, is a story about our own personal cows. The beginning parable is about a teacher and a student who journey to a small town, the teacher telling the student to look for the poorest home where they would seek refuge for the night.

The two men stopped in front of the most dilapidated little shack they had ever set eyes on.

The structure, at the point of collapse, belonged, without a doubt to the poorest of families. The walls stood as if only by a miracle, threatening at any moment to come tumbling down. Water filtered through an improvised roof, and all kinds of rubbish against the walls of the house.

The teacher and the student were invited to stay the night in the small home. A father, mother, four children and two grandparents, thin bodies, ragged clothes, sad faces and bowed heads left no doubt that indigence had taken root deep within them.

Curiously enough, the family had a most unusual possession. They owned a cow.

The animal was not much to look at, but the family's everyday life and activities seemed to revolve around it.

• Feed the cow.
• Make sure the cow's had enough water.
• Tie the cow up tight.
• Don't forget to take the cow out to pasture.
• Milk the cow.

You could say the cow played a prominent role within the family, although the little milk she produced was barely enough to keep them alive. It was the only thing that kept them from complete and utter misery.

The next morning, the two travelers set off to continue their journey. The elder teacher whispered, "The time has come for you to learn the lesson that brought us to this dismal place." The teacher walked slowly toward the cow, slipped a dagger from the sheath he carried.

The student watched in disbelief as the teacher sliced through the cow's throat in one swift movement. The fatal wound caused the animal to drop silently to the ground.

The story continues one year later when the teacher and student return to the home. They find the family flourishing and learn the story of how the death of the cow caused the change in their fortune.

We all have cows that need to die.

The phone didn't ring..

Yup.. the phone didn't ring..

Why it didn't ring?

cause you don't get it lah...

The wait is over...

It's 10:27pm now.. No news from the agency..

Sigh..its always like this one ler..

Well, perhaps blessing in disguise someday..

Waiting anxiously...

It would be a good commercial and I was glad that Telly personally wants me to cast for this role.

It was a late night casting yesterday and I pretty like the role.

Well, the more you want it..the lesser chance you gonna get it..

Again, I will just hope for the best. I guess I had done one of the best performance in term of casting since a long long time.

Please May the Swedish brand hail me as their CNY ad...
