1- I need to lose weight and detox.

2- I need to learn and understand my body, what will happen if i do this diet, understand my body how it will react so i could understand how diet could  effect our life.

3- Apparently this diet is very healthy because it’s all natural food.

I intend to do this diet for only one week, but if i could go longer i will definitely do.

So yesterday was my day 1. I had only…

Breakfast – 1 cup coffee with 2 half teaspoon of sugar.  1 pear and then 3 tablespoons of rice with pork meat.

LUNCH-  1 pear

Dinner-2 small bowl of  Chicken soup with carrot,tomato and quarter potato. 4 angle bean ( no idea how much i took ,LOL) 3 tablespoons of rice and 3 chicken fillets.

That was my so called diet. My master trainer said you don’t need to change your diet so drastically as you can still eat bit of your normal food just put in more vege and fruits ( like 60%) in your diet and definitely no carbonated drinks only plainnnnnnn water. If you are craving for sweet drink opt for coconut water.. that will do you real good.

Talking about water intake, it is not necessary you only take 8 glass of water a day..you may need more than that or even less.. water intake is depending on your gender, height and weight and lots more other factor.  Too much water in your body is also not good…. it can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia. So be careful.

if you wanna know more about how much water you should take per day, click this link and no this is not a sponsored link…this is just for general info.

P/s: I have modified this diet according to my needs… my master trainer diet is 90% on vege and fruits only.

No matter how much i tried not to think or be affected by it but it does..sometimes it can effect me big time..sometimes i manage to just ignore it. The attitude that they give you Directly or indirectly ” You are a woman.. what do you know”  or  that” oh, because i have a lady manager, i don’t have to pay too much attention..she won’t mind”  irritated the hell out of me.

I sometimes wonder, what is it that makes men be so defensive when they have a female boss?  Hmm.. complex creature i must say..

Today was my first day training with the new club ( yes, celebrity just bought over california in case you don’t know) and as expected, i was not welcomed in their ” community” . The energy vibe and respond that i got from them was not as welcoming as in celebrity fitness. I am well aware that they are not happy with the new system but why do they need to throw it on me? I am just their coach and i did not make up and implement  these rules on them.. but this  is the company requirements. Sometimes i wonder, are they really matured as how they claim themselves to be? If they are,  then they should be more accepting and willing to go through changes and challenges along the way, specially in this industry.

Being in this industry for 9 years, that’s one thing i learn about ..ACCEPT CHANGES and CHALLENGES because if i am too comfortable at one spot, i am not what i am today. No matter how much knowledge i have or how lil it is.. new changes and challenges mean only one thing.. i am learning new stuff and im improving myself. Now isn’t that a good thing already? Improving yourself and gaining more knowledge and experience along the way?

Ahhh.. i guess that’s what you called.. EGO in men. They will die without it and kill themselves with it.

My wish to them is that they will pass the exam and do well in this company. Be more accepting, open with new changes and challenges and most importantly not being narrowed minded when they have a lady as their boss.

I guess i need humidifier filters next time in my class. Maybe that will help me suck those bad energy out from them, LOL!

Conversation..yea, everyone does that in daily life.. talk, talk, talk and talk… we can’t live without talking! That’s the fact! If not, no genius will create handphone or even house phone, right? But, nope im not gonna talk about telephone or handphone..but a weird conversation i had…yes, it was so weird to me that it made me think..are they for real or just being plain rude and insensitive?

My weirdest conversation happen when i was sent to Jakarta last june for training. It was lunch time. I was having lunch with 2 colleagues of mine. A girl and a boy. Both of them are younger then me. Rewind few days before the lunch incedent.. let’s name the girl J.

When i met J the first few days, she would not want to come and talk to me much.. i do not know why, but i put that as she is one shy girl. She would pass me by and gave me a quick smile and walk away..day in day out…the most she would ask me “mel, udah makan?” or How are you today mel… and that’s it .. nothing more nothing less. She is just that type of a person to me..doesnt do much talking and a real shy girl..

But all that changed when we had lunch.

You see, J didn’t came down with me to have lunch together..but so happen that there was no empty spot at the canteen and she was sitting all alone…i decided to join her and thought to myself..this will be an opportunity for me to get to know her better. First few minute of the conversation went well, she asked me “normal” questions but that all changed when the male colleague of mine decided to sit with us together….

J: Mel, mel pergi saloon selalu ya?

Me: No la..mel don’t go saloon (beauty parlour) often. Di Malaysia saloon mahal!  Tidak seperti di JKT..

J: Oh iya…tapi kenapa ketiak mel putih??? Mel pakai pemutih ketiak ya??

Me:  Gasp… Dumbfounded… taken aback….

What the hell! What kind of questions is this la??  I do not know how to react to it..be upset? laugh my ass out? or take that as compliment?

Me: I dont use any of those stuff.. i don’t believe in those product.

J: Tapi mel punya ketiak cukup putih…cantik… ketiak J hitam banyak tompokkan..jelek banget dan oleh kerana itu, J malu mau pakai singlet..

At this point, i could see she was actually looking at my armpit and the male colleague turn around and look at it too..OMG!! I was so malu and felt awkward terus ok… so happen on that day i was wearing sleeves top!!!i seriously do not know how to reply her back..

Thank goodness the male colleague of mine cut in and sort of stop the conversation…

He said: I think mel do not shave her armpit hair but instead she pluck it out..hence why  she do not have that razor bumps on her armpit-

Me: ‘Nod”

ask myself…she’s watching my armpit all this while???? WHY, WHEN and HOW?

J: ok….continue eating her lunch as if nothing happen…

I tell you that was one of the worse conversation i ever had in my whole life..dah la  I do not know her well, she asked me over lunch pula tu and it have to take place in front of a male collague whom i just get to know too!! OMG!!!

It really made me feel awkward… malu-fied ( yes, i was malufied ok) and geez… of cos offended!

I know she didn’t talk bad or meant ill towards me ..tapi .. takkan la kau tanya that kind of question to someone whom you just met like few days ago kan? Lagi lagi kalau tu orang kau punya manager and sort of your club guest…kalau dia tanya sia when im alone,  i don’t mind at all tapi… ni depan lelaki ba..astaga!!! Pengsan!

Btw, apparently she watched me whenever i lift my hands up to tie my hair  or while im working out!

Here’s some tips that might help,  if you are facing the same problem as J.  Good luck!

Shaving

While there is nothing wrong with shaving off hair from the underarm region, the underarm region does tend to get darker especially with Indian women, since they have black or brown hair. This hair is not pulled out from the roots and so it is often visible below the skin even after

Waxing
Waxing removes hair from

Epilating
If you feel you must remain hair-free on a daily basis, instead of

Ba, penat sudah sia cerita pasal underarm ni… baik you and i surf this site office furniture lagi syiok,

By the time you read this post i am already at airport on the way to Krabi for our 3 days 2 nights holiday ( if you are reading this tmrw morning, that is). I am excited yet at the same time worried. Excited cos it’s holiday means i dont have to work, worried because i have work bertimbun waiting for me here in Kl to settle I just hope i can enjoy this holiday. I have a loads to study before proceeding with the training that i am suppose to conduct for all the trainers here..pressure is on!

Anyway, these past few days has been a crazy day for me. I really had a busy week that i could not really attend to my blog and update it as often as before.. i have lost so much of my assignment due to my work schedule. Sampai rumah saja terus sia malas sudah..all i wanna do is rest and relax. sayang oh all my assigments tu…tsk tsk tsk.

Early morning on tuesday i had mild food poisoning..i think i have food poisoning. Early in the morning, i started vomitting but all that came out was yellow color fluid..and its so bitter! And then i start purging at around 9 am…sigh.. but i had to go to work.. because i have an important meeting to do.. i managed to hold everything back ( didn’t puke and purge) but towards the evening.. my head pula throbbing like hell! At one point, it was so painful that i really feel like puking again.. sigh..i have no idea why la. I think that was my migrain attacking.

Wednesday took an mc..went to clinic..Doc said, my tummy is full of gas but i have no idea what’s with my head…because that morning my head still throbbing … hmmm.. is it because of my period? I always have this weird sicknesses whenever i have my monthly visit..kenapa tu ar? Do you ladies experience the same thing?

Sigh.. any how.. i will continue with this on next round.. as its already 1am and i really need to sleep.. i seriously wanna know.. am i the only one experiencing  all this weird symptom?? Or is it normal??

Hmmm sidetrack sekejap… don’t you wish Malaysia too have a cool rv parks like those places in the west?? Heheheh.. i always wonder how it feels like to have a moving home must be fun ka? Boleh pigi picnic anywhere and everywhere without worrying much about building tents and all.

And oh… this trip … Dan and i will be travelling using the famous surgical mask! That will be our first…LOL!! Dan even said..we should address each other as Doctor Dan and Emelda and use the surgical gloves too!!  Wahahahah..i wonder what will the airport people say…Hmmmm…;P

Friday, exactly 7 more days from today i will be done and over with Jakarta life and i will start my new journey in KL. Im am so happy and excited about this but at the same time worried and nervous about it. Im not so sure if my training here did gave me enough confident and knowledge to bring it down to the trainers back in KL. I do hope i have though.

It was hard for me here in Jakarta. That’s the truth..i did enjoyed the time here (people are warm and friendly) but at the same time i had fair amount of “sufferings” as well .

First it was the food..i had hard time adjusting to the food here. Food that was familiar to me back at home was really costly here in Jakarta, cheap food means i have to take the local dish which honestly doesn’t really go well with my taste bud. Then came the language.. this was the toughest part for me. Because of the language barrier, i had hard time trying to understand the training module, speaking to the local and getting around town. You may think they understand us Malaysian but that’s not true..our language is different from them! So if you are coming down to Jakarta..i  suggest that you get a good language book in hand in case you don’t know any local here! Our pronounciation and the way we say it is totally different from them! We may have some word similar but mostly..nope!

Jakarta city offer you alot of shopping malls  and most of them are as big as Pavillion back in KL and barang barang sini pun inda la murah sangat. I can say, it’s similar to what kl can offer you and since price doesnt differ much from kl, i  didnt shop for the first time in my oversees trip.

Jakarta is a metropolis city. Offices was build on sky high building, huge, tall and beautiful! (rental pun sia dengar cantik juga ) But malangnya, the houses here are so scattered that it looks so messy and almost.. menyakitkan mata (i think they need the Outer Banks homes agency to help them )  and the road condition in this housing area really reminds me off jalan Ranau to Sandakan… betul betul rosak cuma beza dia ..you get this di dalam perumahan jakarta di tengah tengah bandar and bukan di kampung.

Im sure by now, you guys know that Jakarta is not the cleanness city you can ever get. Orang sini buang sampah merata rata tempat!  Once i was in a cab on the way to one of the club, the cab driver senang saja buka window trus buang sampah dari dalam kereta like its not a big deal ( memang pun its not a big deal for them but i was so shocked) and another time, i was walking with one of my colleague here..tengah syiok syiok bercerita.. he just spat right there and then in front of me!  I was speechless when that happen..sia kegelian trus, LOL! Mau tell him off..but hmmm.again i don’t think its unusual thing for them.

Yup, thats how i see Jakarta… You may see it differently from me..but hey, we are not the same people right?

But one thing i love about Jakarta is the people… they are so nice warm and lovely! I guess that will be the one thing that i will miss the most about this beautiful yet crazy place the warmed and friendly smile of Jakartan’s!

Anyhow,  some of you have asked me is it worth to come and visit Jakarta..of cos i would say yes! Come and see the place yourself..experienced it! You need to do that to know the place yourself…don’t take my words 100% ..again like i said..we may see it differently tapi i won’t recommend it if you wanna come here alone for a longggggggggg holiday! LOL!!

By June 8th 09, i am officially employed by a company. In this company, im no longer need to find clients to do sales, to organize event, meeting horny cheeky salesman or even the need to remember group exercise new choreography, what i need to do is learn about bones, muscle, diets and a bit of psychology ( Human behavior) in order for me to understand who am i dealing with in the work place and coach bunch of staff to improved the department services and knowledge.

The job requires me to travel..mostly around Peninsular Malaysia and maybe a lil bit to Jakarta ( regional manager based there). I was already informed that i will be in Jakarta for bit to do my training..for how long? Im not sure…maybe weeks maybe a month..as i need to do crash course on all those things that i’ve just mentioned ( bones, muscle,diets) and i need to learn and pick it up FAST! As i only have 1 half months  before i took over 100% from the person who is leaving the position. Of cos, im nervous, worried and excited at the same time, this is something im familiar with but at the same time totally new with it too!

I hope to learn and gain more experience with this company and i do foresee that i can gain a lot from here and this will do me good personally and professionally.

So, im finally heading back “home” to where i belong..i once said that i do not want to come back to this industry but i realize that  was because i was “burned” by Yfitness. i kinda lost my track, my motivation and my passion for the industry that all i could think of was getting out of it but while i was out there doing something else… i realized i miss those crazy days of mine in the gym..the adrenalin and the energy of the club..that’s when i know..i need to get back to my world…the gym.

And now, im back .

Im not sure what kind of challenges will i face while im on the job but i do know one thing for sure..handling instructors is never easy..specially when your team mates are mostly the opposite gender and being a woman as a leader to these pack…i know it’s gonna be tough. But i am prepared and ready to face the challenges. So here i am officially signing off to the sales world and back to Gym world as Personal Trainer Development Coach… YES!

On totally unrelated story, i just wanna wish my lil niece Brooklyn..happy 10th month birthday gurl…nanti kalau Auntie ada duit sia beli kau Bob stroller yang canggih manggih ar… tu kalau sia kiva usin la..LOL!

Stupid Monday!! Yea, that’s what i will call today..STUPID MONDAY!

First of all i didnt had a good weekend… it was a shitty weekend..don’t asked why i dont want to talk about it because talking about it will just ignite my anger and hatred and seriously even if i  talk about it…it will just freaking waste my time!!

And then came today the Stupid Monday…early in the morning i received an email from an unknown lady saying that i BETRAYED her because i didnt turn up for the meeting that we both had agreed on last sunday. I apparently just didn’t bothered to show up because the price she has offered  to buy some product from mudah.com did not meet my expectation..im like HUH?? What the fuck?? I didn’t even agreed on selling my stuff to her in the first place..i only sent her an email last night saying that i have sold that particular product  earlier and have deleted the advertisement the same day she asked me for the discount…how can i arranged and appointment with  her pula on Sunday when the product has been sold??  Stupid Fool!  Anyway, i replied to her email telling her she must have gotten the wrong person and we definitely did not make any arrangement to meet up on SUNDAY..and explained to her that we only kept in touch once and that was when i sent her the email thanking her for showing interest in my product and told her that it was sold to someone else already.  Sigh.. at the end..she realized it..she sent me an apology email…tsk tsk tsk…kan sia kena marah for no darn reason?? EARLY IN THE MORNING??

Then i went for an interview today at shah alam sec 16..while waiting for the interview to begin ( second interview with the Datuk) came the security gurad of the company telling me..cik ada orang nak jumpa pasal kereta cik la..dah lama diorang tunggu macam 30 min dah tu.. immediately i know who they are…the car tower! Or what ever they are called la.. i prepared myself for the worse that there is a tow car waiting to tow my car..came out i didn’t see towing car but 2 indian dude big size just like a thug..one thin and one fat.

The thin fella explain to me that they are from the towing company and now because my car has not been paid for 3 month they need to repossess the car if i am not gonna pay it…then i told them my situation that i could not pay now since i dont have a job and my money is running low..but i will definitely pay once i get some money. Then the thin feela said..ok la macam ni..kami tolong you la ni hari..kami kasih lepas you..you bayar bank bila you ada duit tapi you bagi kita duit juga la sebab kita pun makan gaji juga..now, what is your understanding when someone said that to you?? They want money don’t they?? when he said that you bagi kami duit…. i immediately know he wants to squeeze me..and then i told him..look, i dont have cash now.i cant pay you whatsoever..i have interview going on at this moment and im trying to get a job… but let me make a call first and they said ok…

I know that asking kopi money was wrong and they will get into trouble if they were caught doing  so. So the first thing i did was called Dan and told him they want to take my car and asking me for money..now, as soon as i said that “THEY ASKED ME MONEY” the thin guy face changed and he was panicking and said i didn’t asked you for money..i just told you to pay to the bank and then he have the cheek to say..I as in me emelda DO NOT UNDERSTAND…and he asked me to pass the phone to the big fat dude to talk to Daniel..by the time this fat dude was talking to Daniel..the interviewer came out and asked me..what’s the fuss all about .. “i was so malu ok” and told him that this fella asking me money because i could not pay my car since im not working for how many months already…then the kind manager told them ..she will pay the car,give her one week..”macam dia tau saja ni duit mau masuk in my bank” then he said..leave her now… the two indians dude..left without asking me for money anymore…i guess they takut..but the funny thing was…THEY DENIED IT TO DANIEL… They said..we didnt asked for money but she panicked and talked nonsense and told you we asked for money and my dearest Bf just said..oh ok…sigh…

Anyway, the second round interview went on…of cos, Datuk asked me what was going on and whats the fuss all about… memang malu la..but i have to kasih tebal muka and told him the whole story..he asked me why haven’t i paid..told him i have been out of job for so long..and money is running low..hence why i didn’t pay..i could not concentrate on the interview but it has to go on.. i was given a tough questions…this is not fitness industry job…totally different from my last job..i do not know much about it but i guess i manage to pull some “guns” out specially when i said…. I blog and i have steady visitor everyday…Malaysia itself around 100 to 150 a day and i told them that we once organized SBG 08 and it was a  success just by using internet and bloggers to help promote the event without the media help not until much later”

So i am starting a new job in a week time, job that i have no experience what so ever but im willing to learn although im worried that i could not deliver the result… but i guess what Dan’s said made sense..give it a go… at least there is some pocket money for you to roll till you get your next job…

Sigh…im so hating my situation right now… im so hating yfitness for closing down… its been a year now that i have no steady job… i never live like this before… and definitely never live on few bucks a week…arg..hating the situation!

I know i have a new job already and  i should be happy..but the job comes with big responsibility and of cos im not 100% confident cos i never work in that line before…in my head now, im thinking…can i do it? Can i prove im worthy for that Rmxxxx a month??can i reach the target?? Sighhhhhhhhh…

Oh Dear Lord, please help me….give me the strength and drive to keep pushing and not give up… mayb one day my dream of buying outdoor furniture will come true juga when i can prove to them im worth the Rmxxxx

‘iklan sekejap’

He came to the door, gave me the silliest smile just the exact smile when he has something “crazy” in his mind. I knew right away there is something going on..but i just didn’t know it was this time.

When he handed me the piece of paper..i thought to myself..OMG…what is it now? I took it without much enthusiasm… Read  it briefly and then put it aside but deep inside i was secretly smiling, touched and at the same time wanted to laugh my ass out!

He asked me to come near him and handed me an ugly plastic bag .. I looked at him thinking to myself..WHAT?? A TAG?? You gave me a TAG?? But why?? I don’t need one…But not wanting to hurt him, i took the tag and put it aside ,smiled and said thank you.

I guess he saw my facial expression( it’s not that im not happy but  i was seriously feeling really down, with everything that’s going on in my life now and  period is not helping too) and he quickly said ” Im sorry my love, that’s all i can afford this year”….

Today,once again i took the note out and read it for another time… and this time i laughed.

Love,

We may not be rich in cash but i know… we have enough love to last us for longgggggggg time.

(Although,sometimes i know we feel like kicking each other’s butt out,but what the heck . which couple never have dissagrement anyway??)

And yes, as your lil naughty note say..i will remember you whenever i pass a toll from this day onwards!

May the future brings you a job,

And may it be more than a BLOWJOB ( for me),

May we make love until we grow old and saggy,

and may you remember my love whenever you pass A TOLL!

-Daniel F. Gomez-

That poem was the most expensive present i ever received this year.

P/s: Im keeping this till we grow old and saggy..:D

It wasn’t anything grand but just a simple get together party although it somehow feel like it’s Dan’s birthday party more than mine.I think out of 20 people only 5 was my circle of friend..But it’s not that i don’t know any of them , so i guess that’s counted as my friend too…

We started with dinner at Laundry till 11pm and then head on to Red box till 4am singing our lungs out… it was fun nite..nothing crazy..no one was drunk like mad..no vomitting, no crawling… just what i wanted it to be After that we head on to mamak for some supper@ breakfast… usual malaysian lifestyle.

So yea, that’s what we did this year…. and once again to those who came..THANK YOU 

More pictures in Facebook… go check it out there!

week i intend to do CIRCUIT TRAINING instead of the usual weight training.

This type of training can be versatile and it moves quickly because you’re going from one exercise to another instead of doing continuous cardio or straight set training with weights. You can do all strength circuits, all cardio circuits or a mixture of the two for a challenging, calorie-burning workout.

Circuit training combines 8-10 exercises that are completed one right after the other, with little or no rest in between. Perform each exercise for a specified time (like 1 minute), rest for no more than 30 seconds before moving on to the next exercise. Once you complete all exercises, that is considered one circuit. The total number of circuits you complete is up to you. For beginners, start with 30 seconds per exercise and increase the time as you get stronger. Another way to progress is to shorten your rest in between exercises and circuits.

To start, use the following criteria for choosing your exercises:

1. Pick exercises to work each muscle group.
2. Include exercises for agility and endurance (like jumping side-to-side over a phone book)
3. Don’t forget to work on your speed too. Incorporate sprints (if you can) or fast jogging in place.

Circuit training is great for beginners just getting started,because it allows you to build some total body strength while also working on your endurance. This can be great for a number of sports as long as you perform exercises specifically for what you want to accomplish.

Regardless of your goals, circuit training can be a great workout simply because of the variety. Running on a treadmill for 30 minutes or doing the same old machines can get boring over time. If you find you’re losing interest in your routine or that you’ve hit a plateau, think circuit training.

So this week… this is what i have come up with.

Warm up 10- 15 min.

1- Squat with lateral raise. – 1 min

2- Jumping rope- Both feet off the floor at same time.- 1 min

3- Push Up (choose your option, full push up or half push up) – 1 min

4- Star Jump/Jumping Jack – 1 min

5- Plank leg lift- 30 sec on each leg.

* Start in full/on knees push up position keeping the hip,shoulder square and tuck your abs in. Remember wearing the belt as i mentioned last week, yup exactly that you need to do”  Advance level- do this on exercise ball.

6-3 min Run

7-Tricep Dips- 1 min

8-Bicep Curl- 1 min

9-Side to side jump- 1 min

10-Alternate lunges- 1 min

11-Abs Crunches- 1 min

Rest 1 min before the next set workout .

Repeat workout for another round or cool down. You can do this workout 2 – 3 set per workout.

Remember, always do it at your own pace, intensity and level. At the end of the workout STRETCH, STRETCH and STRETCH

I think if you wait for me to upload my workout pictures…that would take ages to come.. So, i might as well just write  about it and then perhaps you can Google the workout routine. Sorry peeps, it’s just so hard to snap  pictures of myself working out without any help. And at night, by the time Daniel come back home..he would be death tired and don’t really wanna bother him with snapping my pictures.

And when im in the gym..i am not comfortable knowing that bunch of people will be looking at me like im one vain pot who could not stop snapping her own pictures while working out and i seriously do not want them to think i’ve lost my mind too..LOL!

So i guess for now..write up is good enough. (sorry peeps) But you can ask me questions on how to do the proper workout technique and will try my best to help you out from there

I alternate my workout 3 times a week. In between days you can either do cardio or just rest, your choice.

This workout regime is good for beginner to intermediate fitness level people. The only different is the repetition on each workout.For example, beginner level you may wanna start with 10-12 reps x 3 sets and for inter. level, you can go from 12 -15 reps x 3 sets.  After each workout routine please take your time to stretch and rest before going for your next set. Time rest in between reps is 45 sec to 1 min not more

So here my workout for this week. Its a full body workout ( i prefer doing full body workout at the moment instead of doing one day upper and next day lower body )

I start with MAJOR MUSCLE  first and finish off with mini muscle…

( remember this is MY workout routine, please choose your own intensity according to your fitness level and how you feel on that day.. do not be lazy..be true to yourself and if you can do more..go for it )

Squat

Chest push up – Full or half, your choice… but i would normally advice go for the half first and then slowly work your way up. Full pushup- On your toes , Half push up – On your knees.

Back extension – 20 sec on each side x 3 sets. This one you will need to lie down on your belly. Lift Right leg up and left hand of the floor.. imagine someone pulling your hand and your leg while doing this and extend…..you should be able to feel that pinch on your lower back… and then switch to the other side.Remember to swicth on your core muscle (like you are using a  tight belt one your waist) while doing this.

Tricep kickback-  You will need a bench and weight for this one…if you do not have weight, other option will be floor triceps push up or wall triceps push up  All that using only your own body weight.

Bicep curl- This one definitely need weights/resistance band.

Lunges – This one you can opt for body weight or add on weight. Your choice.

Shoulder upright row – Weight needed.

Last workout will definitely be my ABS… Upper,lower and side

All the above mentioned workout , i do 20 reps x 3 sets each, with 10 min warm up

You should be done with your workout in 1 hour and 30 min.. remember after your workout always take time to STRETCH,STRETCH and STRETCH It’s really important!
So i guess that’s it for today and if you have any questions… shoot away and i will try my best to help you out .

Happy working out  peeps and remember be safe and STRETCH!

Hahahahah..yes you read the title right…another ebay stuff came in today. But this time it is all FOC..

I bought 120 pro make up palettes from ebay recently..but was kinda surprise to see the condition of the eyeshadow when it arrive at my door step..half of the palettes was broken and it was a total mess!

So feeling kinda disappointed with the product..i wrote an email to the seller telling them about the condition of my palettes. When i wrote that email, i expected the worse from the seller ( yea la,online purchase..mana la you can trust this people 100%  kan?)thinking that they may not exchange the product for me cause they can always said..it was not their fault.

But to my surprise, they only asked me for the palettes picture as proof and the next thing i know…they sent another brand new palettes FOC for me  with another set of moo moo brush!!!  WOHOOO!! So now, not only i have another set of eyeshadow but also another set of brushes!!!

Im soooooooooo happy with it!

Here’s the latest product pic…

So ladies, if you want to get yourself this product..i highly recommend this seller.. CHIC GALLERY!

They are very good seller,responsible and they reply to your email promptly too

Ok, since i live on a very tight budget nowadays..i decided to try this tutorial that i got from youtube.

Home made brush cleanser.

It’s pretty easy to do your own brush cleanser I tried doing the mixer today and clean my brush with it..it work superbly well..im happy with the tutorial. So if you are like me, living on a tight budget  or just don’t want to spent so much money on make up brush cleanser which can easily cost your from Rm20 to Rm70 plus plus…give this a try.

All you need is :

Mineral /Distilled Water

Alcohol, this is good to disinfect your brushes.

and some of these product, Leave on spray conditioner(only use the spray type not the lotion type)you need this to condition your bristles,  Baby shampoo or your daily shampoo just to give you that nice smelling effect (im using clairol) and some hand wash/ dishwash detergent to take of the oil wax from your brushes.

Measurement cups

Empty bowl for your cleanser…you will need empty bottle too to keep your extra brush cleanser liquid in it.

Now the mixing part:

1 cup water

1/4 cup of alcohol

1/2 tablespoon handwash/dishwash detergent

1/2 tablespoon of baby shampoo/your daily shampoo

1 tablespoons of leave in spray conditioner.

Gently stir everything together and walaa..you have your own homemade brush cleanser…

P/s: Do not stir or shake the mixer…you do not want the detergent to start sudsing/foaming.

Good luck Chicas!

No peeps, this is not one of my crazy picture but just me trying to show you that you can curl your hair without using any heat or expensive tools. All you need is paperbag or newspaper in my case and loadsss of patience.

When i did this for the first time, Dan thought i’ve lost my mind, LOL!!  He was wondering what the hell got into me and he even asked me “what style is this now” LOL!!! Poor man…I don’t blame him…i really do look like orang gila with all that newspaper sticking out everywhere on my hair.

Anyway, this is the end look. Its really wavy and curly. I really like the curl and seriously, this method is way better than using the iron curl. Not only it REALLY volumize my hair..the curl actually last the whole day with so liltle  hair styling gel!

If you want to know how to get this look and how to curl your hair with using only paper bag or newspaper..youtube it! I got this look and technique from michelle phan video Good luck ladies

P/s: To have that same effect and lasting curl as mine, you will need to let the paper on till the next day. Yes, i slept with my newspaper on my hair,LOL!

JENG ….JENG…..JENG!!!

TADAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Happy Mcdonald’s everyone!

Tips for the lady:

1. If you are wearing super low cut jeans and having high butt crack or line what ever you call it…please DO NOT SIT NEXT TO THE WINDOW panel unless you don’t mind the whole world to see your happy butt too!

2. Before you leave your house, always check your self again in the mirror. Pretend that you are trying to sit on a chair. By doing this, at least u can still change into another outfit if its showing too much of happy butt or at least bring along a pashmeena with you. Remember, only you can save yourself , no one else can….

Unless u want to achieve this look!!! YUCK!

Hahahahahah…jangan salah faham ok..BLUE mean Blue eyeshadow!!

Yup..its the time of the year..sia mau mokirayou dulu… mongunsamang sama sia punya muka sekejap. Actually sia mau tunjuk sia punya make up ba ni.tapi i dont think i manage to do so..LOL! Inda pro with the camera ba..

I dont usually use bright colored make up..i normally go with golden brown color, or make up that’s near to my skin tone (if you have not notice that in all of my pictures) But the other day i said,what the heck lets give it a go…heheh..and i seriously surprised my ownself with my make up…i think i did pretty well for first timer

In this make up i used baby blue,dark blue,black,peachy gold, false lashes and of cos my newly colored hair that i did few weeks back in kl All the eyeshadow are from ELIANTO..murah tau elianto eyeshadow..only rm6-8 per palette and it blends well too..not bad for an affordable make up collection

I wish i can show you guys how i put this make up on..tapi malangnya..sia inda pandai kasih upload video,LOL!! sorry ar…

Next look im trying to do is the CANDY LOOK   Will post the picture when im done.(hope i can find the time to do this one)

If you have any make up tips and beauty tips that you can share with us..please do so kio and of cos your feedback and comments is much appreciated too. Sia budak masih belajar baaaaa

The fish, as many spa goers say “kiss the skin”, ridding it of all affected and dead skin areas, leaving the healthy skin untouched to continue to grow and repair. The process is both painless and strangely wonderful, leaving behind a unique pleasant tingling sensation. Skin is left smooth, glowing and looking healthier-Taken from article base.com

Last weekend we spent our time together in KL and thought we should give this fish spa a try. This was my first fish spa, i never experience anything like this, so me being the naive one said..ala ikan saja ba tu..apa juga.

LOL! How wrong was i…i could not do it..seriously i can’t. I was so confident at first but as soon as i walked down the deck… my confident went kapoof into thin air…I never seen so many fish, small fishes,big fishes looking so hungry (almost like piranhas hungry) following and waiting for you to dip your feet in and as soon as you do so…. they’ll swarm at you

Yup, just like the picture above.. but here i think i’ve successfully confused the fishes..they just cant decide which kaki to go to, LOL!

Most of the time this is how deep i’ll go..i cant take it..it was soooooo ticklish! At time,when the bigger fish comes and nibble at your kaki…it can be bit uncomfy.

p/s: The pink color fish is the small fishes, the big ones..can’t be seen here..their body color is greyish in color almost transparent looking.

And that’s how my body react whenever i try to dip the whole kaki in…bida oh!

Here im laughing like mad woman..thank goodness im not the only one who react to the fish like this, phew!

And here, im trying to be brave…but i guess i failed…LOL!! Just look at my body language, feet and hand placement…ahahahahha…stiff like kayu! The ikan is soooooo ticklish la..

If you ask me does my feet feel any different after the therapy…hahahaha i dont know..i didnt feel much difference.. i didn’t dip my feet long enough and deep enough like Dan did anyway..so no comments. The best person to ask that is Dan actually. He was the one dipping his legs all the way that nite..thank goodness no ikan mati, LOL!

But you know what?? This won’t be my first and last fish spa..i will definitely visit the fishes again.. and i recommend you to give it a try too
