Today i did TRX again ( well assisting more like it today, but somehow it did also took my energy off), Peloton ( CF new trademark cycling class and it’f FUN,FUN,FUN) and the new stuff in malaysia and we are the first one to have it here in ASIA.. FLOATING YOGA!! It’s freaking fun and tough at the same time! You are hanging in the air while doing the yoga movements…fun!

Tomorrow will be another day of TRX and Floating yoga for me, this time i have an opportunity to do it one on one with my master trainer…im sure i will be twisting, hanging, aching, stretching everywhere like crazy tomorrow…hahahaha. I hope i can do it and work it tomorrow. OH DEAR.

Ba ok la peeps, it’s time for me to go and have a good rest since i have to be awake darn early tomorrow… but if you wanna know what  petroleum hose is  please do google about it hahahhaha..sia malas mau explain.

Wanna watch the so you think you can dance and waiting for my favourite show… LEVERAGE to come on air, yeay!

This was my workout routine last Monday. It’s a full body workout which will strengthen your core area too.I only use fitball and dumbell. This workout is suitable for all level.

Beginner level- You can do this workout 2 set x 10 reps.

Intermediate- 3 sets x 12 reps

Advance- 3 sets x 15 reps

Or you can do it as a time challenge too.

I did time challenge on Monday. 10 sec rest and 30 sec work and each workout i did 3 sets.

So here’s what i did.

1- Anterior Leg reach.

2- Alternate Single arm chest press on stability ball

I use 2 Dumbbell for this workout instead of 1 and alternate hand all the time.

3- Single Dumbbell arm row on stability ball

NOTE: Back straight, do not arch. Brace your core. Ensure your elbow is not pointing away from your body but align with your shoulder. Pull your Db up and stop right next to your ribcage and slowly lower it down again.

4- Single leg squat ( without weight)

Try to go as low as you can without compromising your technique. .

Ok, so that was my workout on Monday. I did it in a circuit routine. 10 sec rest 30 sec work and each workout i did it 3 times. Now i’m off to check out this anti wrinkle creams that work.

Chiao bellas .

“happy valentine’s day to you and your partner, go out and enjoy it”

“Looking pretty tonight babe, mesti ada hot date kan today? Happy valentine day to you..have fun!!!”

Yup, the whole day i’ve been wishing everyone happy valentine’s day today.. feels good about it. I mean i get to wish everyone and put a smile on their face..regardless if their single or not, i believe at the end of the day..everyone want to feel important..noted and cared for even if it means by just wishing them HAPPY VALENTINE”S DAY.

Today i’ve seen so many couples walking hand in hand..ladies getting gift, flowers.. brought me back to m younger year..when valentine day was celebrated the same way too. Hmm.. those were the days.. carefree and not much of responsibility.

Anyway, i celebrated my V day slightly different this year. Instead of whacking food,sitting down on couch in front of tv and adding on more pounds on my belly.. i spent my time on the gym floor sweating and torturing myself. Yup, i was busy working out and at the same time wishing anyone and everyone that i know..happy valentine’s day in between. It’s actually very uplifting you know and with that workout .. i managed to burn 635 calories! Thanks to my polar watch and HR monitor belt.. i managed to track my progression today.. i mean before this i only can count  my calories on the treadmill but while doing my circuit i have no idea how much was i burning! I thought i’ve lost my HR monitor but found it in the store room recently and took advantage on it straight away..guess now..my polar watch will be my fav new tools in gym..yey!

Oh my workout today was 300 reps workout and of cos i did one of zuzana’s workout again.. too lazy to think on my own..:P lagipun si zuzana’s workout cukup berkesan for me..so why susah payah when there is already a way for you to copy and buat ja kan? hehehe yes, yes..im too lazy in that sense..

“aiks, sia lapar pula tiba tiba now.. hmm thinking to whack that blackberry in the frigde..eh wait it’s not blackberry it’s blueberries actually heheh..mimpi phone blackberry kejap”

Anyhoo.. i need to mandi now.. mau rehat kejap and then masuk bilik tidur..tmrw sambung workout lagi..yes, workout is my ecstasy nowadays and i’m addicted to it!

My target by oct this year..hopefully i can do it..and itupun kalau sia inda pregnant yet.

P/s: i don’t know who is this lady..but i want her body!

So we have few more days before Christmas..yeay! But that doesn’t mean i will stop working out.. i will

So for next week, im planning to work more on my Legs and Abs. I have not plan what routine just yet that im gonna do but im thinking to just take it from Zuzana’s workout routine… heheh since that’s the only way i can cheat ( ambil zuzana’s program malas mau fikir banyak punya pasal)

So i guess i will tell you more about the routine by tomorrow then. I need to do some document management now and then head to my MIL house to help out with Christmas cookies…

Oh btw, im appearing on NTV7  again tomorrow to talk about lower body workout using only bodyweight.  YOu cna do this workout anywhere and anytime..even during your holiday season SO stay tune if you wanna know more…

So today i’m gonna write a post about it and hope this will help you choose the right one, save your money and achieve your goal at the same time.

1- Education: A personal trainer should be certified through a reputable personal training organization. An exercise science or other related college degree ISN”T NECESSARY, but the more education your trainer has, the better your workout will be.

2- CPR- Your trainer should have an updated certification in CPR and /or first aid.

3- Experience- Make sure your trainer has a few years experience, specially in relation to your goal. To me this is the most important part in choosing your trainer, having an experience is way more valuable  than having someone with all those certificates in their hand but cannot deliver the result at the end of the day. I’ve seen a lot of these nowadays, they have all those expensive certification..but the way they teach, the technique and handling their client…NO COMMENT!

4-A good listener- Good trainer will listen closely to what you say and will make sure he/she understand your goal.

5- Attention- A good trainer will also focus on you 100% during your session.

6- Tracking progression- A trainer who will keep track of your progression and access you regularly and make changes if necessary on your program.

7- Personality- Is also an important factor in choosing your personal trainer. Make sure you are able to get along well with them and be able to ask any question comfortably.

8- Get a referral- from a friend who’s had success in reaching their goals with a personal trainer.

Well, that’s it from me today, i hope this post will be able to help you in someways,  if not i would advice you to get a personal training books and read about it more to understand PT better

Today i did zuzana’s workout again the 8 drill workout..i was really running out of air while doing it.. i guess i really should not take spicy food before working out la kan? But i can’t help it ba.. the sambal at AYAM PENYET RIA shop is sooooo super duper delicious and after like weeks of mot taking any fried food..fuyoh, i tell you the taste of the sambal and fried chicken is superb! hahahha…sigh there goes my diet again!

Anyway, starting from next week i will be busy again.. another round of training, another round of headache and heartache…i just met the group this week thursday..so far ok, but nothing beat the last batch trainers..i love them I had fun with them too

Oh ya.. memandangkan im too lazy to blog, if you wanna know what is 8 drill workout..just go to this wonder woman blog  www.bodyrock.tv ( her name is Zuzana) and type 8 drill workout ..you can find loads of workout there..and she’s super hot too!  :D

Ba ok la i better get back to my exam tables browsing now.. speak to you guys again soon ok. Have a great Saturday night and Sunday tmrw.

Hugs and kisses you all!

Im going to do this butt and leg workout soon..Cross over lunge with leg lift

So yep this is our 5th week of exercising together in the gym,it has been quite a journey for Dan and i.

Our transformation is not as crazy fast as all the reality show that you see on tv… but we do definitely see the changes in our stamina,strength and energy. Weight wise, not much. I guess that’s because we are not on strict diet but still on our normal diet just cutting on the portion wise.  But then again, this may change once we hit the 6th week.. we will see….

Dan’s measurement due next week, i am really hoping to see at least a small changes if it’s not big.  At least that will give me an indication that the workout i gave him this past 5 week is working for him, if it doesn’t…i will have to change his program again and definitely going on strict diet! I must admit we have been slacking a lil bit lately on diet wise during the  Halloween party  and Deepavali celebration. Dan and i have been consuming alcohol and of cos the “rich” food.

Alcohol is  bad for those who wants to lose weight only because the energy from alcohol cannot be stored so it must be oxidised and converted into energy for immediate use by the cells. While our body uses up all the alcohol circulating in the blood, the oxidation of fats cells, carbohydrates and protein becomes suppressed; because of this more of these macronutrients are forced into storage than under normal conditions without alcohol hence why Alcohol can make you fat in an indirect manner. In layman term, what ever you eat during the day won’t be used as energy when you have alcohol in your blood stream…hence..the weight gain.

Here’s something for you if you wanna know more about alcohol and it’s energy.

1 gram of alcohol           =   7 calories

1 gram of protein           =   4 calories

1 gram of fat                  =   9 calories

1 gram of carbohydrate  =  3.75 calories

Anyway, so this week my workout will be

22 min of cardio kickboxing as for my warm up and then doing full on Zuzana’s workout this week.. gonna see if im gonna die flat today or not…LOL!

Will post the whole workout later in the evening ok?

Oh BTW, today i was in NTV7 breakfast show again and then i saved a cat in the middle of busy highway.. FEDERAL HIGHWAY..poor thing she was so scared.. thank God i manage to save her in nick of time… nasib juga la teda kereta laju..all slow moving traffic..i feel good..although sia kesian the cat and worried that i can’t find a good home for her.

Sorry for the lack of update recently, been really LAZY! LOL! Just wanted to chill out at home after working out in the gym.

As you all already know this is our 4th week and still going strong. Im proud of what we have done so far, what we have achieved. If you ask me how i feel really,what i think about all this workout.. HONESTLY..IT”S PAIN IN THE ASS! That’s the truth! But we all know there is no other way you can loose weight and be healthy at the same time..other than to workout. So to me, the PAIN IN THE ASS is a good pain at the end of the day…LOL! What makes it even more worth it is when you get to see the result and when someone start saying  ” hey you looking good now, or hey you’ve lost some weight huh?” That’s the best thing about all this..it’s all worth the pain and i can’t wait really to see my body gets back to where it used to be.. it may take a year.. but i will try to go on till i see changes!

Enough talking about my workout score, now let’s move on to something that is really interesting.

Do you love to eat/drink soy? Anything with soy? If yes, i suggest you sit and think and read this article before you go further with it.. of cos, it is up to you to see and evaluate this yourself. I have stopped taking soy product now… and even if i really want to take soy product, i make sure its only once a month. Unlike before…My master trainer told me about soy..it freaks me out .. but i think it’s best that you read it up yourself. To me, media plays a big role here..how they cleverly made us believe  everything 100% without actually really think about it further… here’s one of the link i checked today..

http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz/ or you can also just google it yourself or if you don’t want to Google soy maybe you would like to know more about casablanca ceiling fans instead…LOL!

Enjoy your reading on soy peeps.. hope that help you a lil

So, im sure you all have heard it from my husband that i will be appearing on NTV7 regularly by now kan? Yes, I will and the first show supposedly to be aired on the 4th of Oct ( monday) and this will go on for 13 episode every monday… so if you look at your calendar the last segment should be on 27th Dec…that’s like freaking 3 Months!!! wohoo!! Tapi, i don’t think i will be appearing in all the segments la…im sure i will pass some to my colleagues too… well nothing is concrete on it yet cos i have to think what topic and all that i need to put in…so what ever that im “specialized” in.. i will be on air.

So saying that… i need your help since i have 13 episodes to think about, maybe you can give me an idea on the topic? Maybe what you wanna hear about? Ie- Diet? Workout? How? What?

Of cos, i do not want those expensive gila places.. as i already am gonna spent like tonnes of money there just for my cab fare ( yes, penang cab fare is super duper expensive!!!) I just want those places where i can find decent wedding shoe and nail bar yet its affordable. I need to get these stuff for my pre wedding photoshot on the 27th March in KL.

I’m gonna miss Dan, Gummy and my comfy home.. in 2 hours time i will be hitting the road going up to PD for my RCIA retreat and be back on Sunday afternoon.. by then Dan will be in SG already.. and tuesday i will be flying of to PG and Dan will only be back late night on that day…how sad is that?

Wrong timing…that’s all i can say.

I don’t know how am i gonna do my training with me coughing my lungs out most of the time.. not only that, my fever also gave me a mild piles..although it is not that bad… but it’s enough to make me feel uncomfy .. bought pilex cream yesterday…i hope everything will go away reallllllll soon.

My laptop decided to gave way few days back..now im “laptopless” . I hope  the IT manager could fix the problem before monday..kalau tidak.. i dont know how the heck am i gonna do my training without my laptop.

Hmmm… i hope everything will be ok la.

So if you don’t see me updating my blog… you know why la…

My Penang friends.. let’s meet up again

It was fun trip and memorable one i must say   Meeting Bosscat, Pinkpurplelizard, claire and Marilyn was like winning a lottery mana tidak.. know these crazy fun people for so long but we never met “except for Marilyn” but tu pun i last met her like 10 years ago during school day.

Unfortunately, i do not have Bosscat and Pinkpurplelizard picture as they want to stay anonymous but you can check out their blog and I think i have gained few kilo’s from this trip HEH!… i guess it’s time for me to look for those weight loss supplements again..:P

Me “selling” soya bean drinks This uncle is so sporting

This photo was taken by Frankie in one of the Chinese temple at heritage row.

Me and Claire at Jemputree.

This was taken at Gurney drive Stalls.. It was raining heavily and we all got soaking wet..

Wanted to be cicak girl.. but realize my hand was not sticky enough.

At Bagan with Kc, Claire, Marilyn and Doni

Frankie the flying man of the day.

And Rayner the Marathon man iIwonder how he did at the Penang bridge run.

]]> http://kadazanbonita.com/pictures-in-penang/feed/ 18 http://kadazanbonita.com/cheap-affordable-hotel-in-penang/ http://kadazanbonita.com/cheap-affordable-hotel-in-penang/#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:03:32 +0000 Mel http://kadazanbonita.com/?p=2224 It’s been 4 days now that i am here in Penang. My weekend was superb, no complain about it. I really had fun. Meeting new friends, my  schoolmate and of cos blogging friend and the food’s  yummy ( i think i’ve gained a kilo dy) ;P

So let me share with you about the place that im staying currently ok

Im living in this small boutique hotel ( 3 star) called PP ISLAND HOTEL situated right at Abu Siti Lane off Macalisster road. Their charges is only  Rm78 Per night  for standard room and Rm88 for the deluxe room.. affordable isn’t it?

This hotel provides, towel, LCD tvs, water heater, shoe cabinet and wardrobe and shower gel but no room service as in sending food to the room and provide buffet breakfast.

The hawker stalls is  near to the hotel, unfortunately..i have been warned not to walk alone in the alley specially at night as this place is prone to have motorbiker doing their “small businesses” here .. snatch thief. Dangerous!

The hotel staff will also help you to call for your cab/taxi  if you ever needed one.. but be prepare to pay crazy amount of money for a short trip!!! Take my daily trip for example… PP island hotel and Gurney plaza is only about 3-5km away… but i have to pay rm12-15 per trip and that’s like from Subang to Mid Valley price!!! GILA KAN?? SUPER EXPENSIVE! and i was told  that this is the standard price here in Penang for taxi fare

I’ve asked a cab driver once, why is the cab fare here in Penang  for cab super expensive..his answer was… because they do not use NGV gas here in penang but instead they use petrol.. hence why the price is super expensive to hire a cab although it is only a short distance. sigh…

My advice, if you ever think to come to Penang and use a cab services.. please bring along tonnes of money along with you.. even i have to spent at least rm50 per day to survive here .. that’s including my food and to and fro cab fare from my hotel and office.

Other than that.. i would highly recommend this hotel if you wish to visit Penang

So here’s the pictures for you to see

I will be there for the trainer’s exam .. no longer jalan jalan tengok club ( club visit) meaning more tension and headache ahead.. LOL!

I just finished quarter of Kl trainer’s exam today, hmm mau gila pun ada juga la this batch.. now belum lagi panas tu kerusi di office sia duduk.. im flying to Penang already tmrw to set another exam date and prepare the trainer’s for it.

CUKUP PENAT!  And honestly, i’m not looking forward for it.. bukan apa.. im just too tired from the kl batch exam.  I haven’t recovered from it and now.. im already going off for Penang staff.  Mentally and emotionally tired if you wanna know, didn’t know teaching/ coaching can really drain your energy mentally and emotionally..  last time it was very much physically tired while i was still in GX department……sigh…..” i need a breather’

I can’t delay the training or the exam too.. aiyah! Company mau kasih cepat habis the training and exam… I pray to God that He will give me strength, energy, GOOD TRAINERS and loads of patience in Penang..i pray…

But one thing for sure that im looking forward to is the  weekend is meeting up  with bosscat and possibly with Marilyn and claire benneth.. i’m not sure if it will matereialize ( with Marilyn and Claire) but i sure do hope it will.. syiok ba dapat jumpa orang dari benua yg sama

Oh well what ever it is.. i hope to be able to enjoy Penang for bit this time around it’s been ages since i jalan jalan cari makan in Penang… the last was year 2004 and after tsunami hit Penang.. i never visited penang dy.

I wonder in Penang ada best acne treatments ka? Hmmm…

Ah.. enough membebel.. i need to pack.. flight is tomorrow noon.. and i have not even packed a single baju yet.. heheheh.

P/s: to those comments that i have not replied just yet.. please do forgive me.. been really really busy. Will try my best to reply that soon k

Yes, that was my early morning greeting text from one of the trainer who did not turn up for training yesterday. I was definitely irritated with it, the way he put the text was  very demanding i feel. No greeting, no nothing.. terus demand HOW??

Nowadays trainers, i feel like i have to spoon feed them with everything! If it’s like that, might as well i don’t bother printing the whole manual with the answers it in.

Granted that i said there will be training tomorrow at first  but since i have covered everything yesterday, why should i ask them to come back to training again? Isn’t that a waste of time? And moreover… the manual that i gave them.. all the answers was there… isk!

Sigh…

Now who says only women out there yang depending too much on men? This is a good example for you all out there..men can be babies too!

Maybe i should invent a  barcode scanner like device..where you scan my brain and then every single detail appear on screen kan?? Maybe i won’t have this issue no more,  i believe that would make my life much easier…hahahaha.. scan ja terus everything will come out.. no need to do training.. think what to present the next day.. what to talk and all.. just scan and every single thing will pop out ..hmm.. someone genius out there.. please invent this device ASAP!

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!

I only went to  one open house this year as compared to last year. ( how many did you went and visit?) I still am kempunan kuih makmur…someone bring some for me pleaseeeeeeeee… I’ve been searching for it around bakery shop ( kuih raya, any kuih raya la) tapi hmmm… i dont see any.. sigh. SEDIH tahap GABAN!  SOB SOB..

Day before raya, Dan and i went to a wedding receprtion  at J&R at damansara height. The wedding was really simple, short and nice Not many people, only close friends and families, exactly  what we wanted to have too on our wedding day.  I was really glad that we were invited Gave us bit of ideas  too

Second day of raya, we spent our time at Tropicana mall.We wanted  to develop all of our pictures. it’s been so long since i sent pictures to photo shop for it to be developed… but boy i was glad that Dan decided to do so.. now we have pictures and also an album of our own ahhhh.. just thinking and looking at the album. it gave me this warm comforting feeling like.. susah sia mau explain la. Macam puas hati ni after seeing all the pictures..I feel like seeing developed pictures in front of your eyes is wayyyyyyyy better than looking at it from PC. ( yea, i have been doing that since like 3 years ago..tsk tsk tsk..bad)

And on Tuesday, we did movie marathon together…Hehehe.. it’s been ages since i did that .. just lazing  around the house and sit in front of the  tv and watch episode after episode of tv series… wooooo best oh!

Oh well.. that’s about it la for today story peeps. Im really tired from training today and my body and brain just could not coordinate anymore.. hahaha tomorrow will be another long day fr me in the office ..hmmmm…

Are you looking for truck accessories ? If yes, you know what to do

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
