Its a long story

On 5th May I went to Pangkor wif Hui shan and Ivy. They are my secondary school zi muis. Pangkor is really a deserted island.. We had our private beach, private pool, private car and a almost private hotel... We went around the whole island and I tink we did not see more than a 100 tourists on that tiny island.. definitely no leng zais for ivy.. hahaha... but hui shan managed to entertain us by calling the lalas as leng zais.. At nite we piu yi the whole island.... During dinner there was a sudden black out.. the whole island suddenly poof! turned pitch black.. we finished our 'candle light' dinner n had a drive around the island... we sang as loud as we could in the car coz the mountain roads had no street lamps, even there were lamps there were no electricity to power them.. haha

our v own private beach!

Private POOL :D

20th MAY! THIS WAS WHEN THE TERROR STARTEd
Day 1-20/5/08
We rode off at 8.05am from Medan Gopeng station.. I was 5 minutes late =P Reached KL at approximately 10am... Just at the exit to turn into 1 utama i got banged/i banged a gen2 . The driver came down his car... n asked me.. " where r u from ? go where?" i said im frm ipoh going 1u.. he said... What 1u? whats tat? Then i pointed.. NEHH THIS BUILDING... swt...His driver's door bengkok dalam.. my car's front passenger door bengkok dalam also.. so We both decided to go to a mechanic n check out the price.. Mechanic asked for like 600+ o.O In my head i was thinking.. ' GO DIE LA... 600 can buy u a whole door lo'.. Therefore it was time to launch a police report! We headed off to a nearby damansara police station.. the fellow told us we nid to go sg buloh's traffic police station to report this.. SO WE WENT ALL THE WAY TO SG BULOH thru trunk roads , overtake-ed many many big lorries.. Finally when we reached there i tot this time sure its the correct one.. but the basket told me that they don't cover the area we had the accident.. so asked us to go to PJ's police station woH!! omg.. And yes, we drove there... took us another 30 minutes to reach... passed by subang jaya airport on the way tim.. 2 hours spent at the PJ police station.. got interviewed by a sargent ... first time.. everything also first time..
Took this b4 we left..

When we left the police station.. it was already 3pm+ !!

Of course we wouldnt wanna giv up our ORIGINAL plan which was to shop+walk at 1u+ meet dear BEH zi mui.. so we headed off to oneU following the long route thru bangsar >.<.. REACHED SEGI COLLEGE (hs needed to sign some docs) at 4smth.. JAM JAM JAM ALL THE wAY~~~ was freaking frustrating... Reached oneU at 5smth worh!!! IMAGINE... 8-5pm highway ipoh-kl, car accident, 3 police stations , JAMs all the way, and no food or stops along the way.. It was certainly a horrible day for us..

We met up wif Ah Beh at 1u... at which the original plan was 2pm.. >.<

Beh is the one in a blue spaghetti

That night..My room was packed wif ppl... first time so many :D We sang songs out loud to get rid of the stress we had .. Ivan reached my condo at 1am+

The Scrumptious Dinner

Had a finger licking gud seafood dinner at falim/menglembu area (well i licked my fingers after digging into the crabs :D) just now... The food was good! But prices were even better~~

Yea it costed us a 100..

Well for ipoh it was considered quite expensive, considering there were 5 of us, 4 dishes and we did not leave the place wif a full stomach...

Hmm since today nth much to write.. I'll share some of my 'research' that i 'stole' frm the web :D
6 Tips of having + maintaining flat,sexy abs (means no bulging tummies LIKE THIS )

Seriously I DONT think its BEAUTIFULLL-This person must have sky high confidence within herself ( shud b a SHE right?lol.)

If i have a tummy like that I think I'll change sex .. HAHA >.< sry if i offended any1...

Ab Diet Tip 1. Eat more fiber
According to the 'experts', we nid to eat at least 25 grams of fiber daily to ditch the flabby abs! However, do nt take in alot of fiber in one go, u'll end up accumulating gas in ur stomach and farting all ur way throughout the day =P This is because the bacteria that digests the fiber releases gases that are 'to be farted out' .

Ab Diet Tip 2. Opt for a sensible amount of high-quality carbs.(carbohydrates)
In other words, don't eat so much carbs! For exp, make carbs 45-65% (202-292) grams based on a 1800 calorie diet. I found out another easier way to keep track based on another website is to consume 1g of carb to every pound u weigh. ( 110pounds=110g carbs).
Warning!
*Extensive intake of carbs can cause water retention, bloating + temp. weight gain! This is because when the carbs are broken down into glucose -> glycogen for storage, each glycogen carries along 3 times of its own weight as water!
Balance ur diet! Adequate amount of carb would be the best. FYI, Veges + fruits supply carbs too!

Ab diet tip 3. Drink up!
Many ppl including almost all my girl frens bliv that drinking too much water will cause bloating. Namun begitu, drinking MORE water actually flushes sodium(salt) out of the body which reduces the bloat. FYI, sodium is actually the culprit that causes all the unwanted bloats. Drink at least 1L-2L of water PER DAY. Btw, fruit juices are high in calories/carbs and they are a nono for 'dieters'. Carbonated drinks that contain CO2 slows down stomach emptying therefore induces bloating.

Ab diet tip 4. Watch the sodium.
Roughly 1 teaspoon of salt per day is enuf for our bodies to function properly. Anymore extra will cause bloating.

Ab diet tip 5. Eat light at night.
2 benefits : You'll wake up with a flatter tummy, and you'll also have a better appetite for a fiber-rich breakfast, which sets you up for a day of healthful eating. Best way is to eat 5 times a day which is 2 more extra meals in between ur 3 main meals. By staying full and energized, you'll avoid hunger pangs, maintain an even energy flow, make better, healthier food choices (no binging or craving) and enjoy the most efficient burning of calories.

Ab diet tip 6. Reduce stress.
Research shows that stress triggers the hormone cortisol to turn up your appetite and deposit fat around the organs in your abdomen. So kesimpulannya, dont work or study so hard LAh! =P just kidding k..

This is only a summary of wut I've read on9... Click HERE to read the whole article..
P/S : the truth is not deceiving, they are very true and u shud throw away ur beliefs and face em! THen only u'll get abs like this~~

Abit too muscular huh ? =P

Starting point of the track

THE CRAZY ITCH

Ahhhh!!! A BAD BAD DAY for me!

Part 1:
I drove all the way to fair park to get my hair dyed this morning. Now this was when all hell breaks out!( Lol sounds like I'm exaggerating ) This woman in black kissed the back-side of my car! It was actually a soft and tender kiss frm outside but inside it felt more than it! So i flung my door open hoping that my car is in gud shape... and it was! :D Ok... sounds happy? My story goes on..

Part 2:
Nth really bad happened during the process of dyeing my hair, other than the CRAZY ITCH tat i've never felt b4 when dyeing hair. The lady brushed so much dye on my head like it was water.. I hate the part tat i couldnt scratch ,i do not want to get the dye on my hands T.T .. SO I tahan-ed it for an hour or so .. - super unexplainable feeling

The crazy ITCH! (mine was the head lar)

Part 3:
After washing away the extra dye and blowing dry my hair, i requested the lady to trim my front hair ABIT.. she ended up OVERDOING it >.< Its soooo shorttt nowww... wuwuwu


Part 4:
OK... DEn, i left the saloon, and headed off to 'myPoint' (restaurant) near Jusco. The prob is i did not noe how to go! ( ipoh girl woh >.<) I seldom go there.. End up i went rounds n rounds all the way to silibin, den to medan gopeng area... HAHA! ipoh ppl, after reading this u'll say i suck in direction.. Took me around an hour to reach mypoint.. omg...

Hui shan-me-xinyu

Enuf of the complaining... =P

My point is that MyPoint is a v nice place! (haha) (except for the irritating blue light) My dad was the first one who brought me there.. den i visited the place over n over again after that... The food is nice,cheap and served in big portions..

Lamb chopssssss

They serve in okay-to-large portions. A set lunch which comprises of soup + toast, main course, coffee/tea, ice-cream and a gls of sky juice :D IS ONLY RM11!! The first time i got the bill i had my eyes almost popping out and a very very big opened mouth...

Actually do u noe what had 'inspired' me into all these hardcore training? Ok, lemme spill the beans.. After eating like a maniac in my Penang + Pangkor trip, I've gained a total of 4KG!!

So that was it ..

I started my HIIT training on 12/5/08 with a face like this before i went for my first jog

Happy face!

But when I came back I was like this

Because HIIT was killing! I died before i reach the 10 minute mark T.T

Okay, so here's the plan. I'm going to post my daily diet + workout here to keep track and prevent me from slacking :D Dear friends who read this n c me slacking please slap me! (not in public la hehe)
