Staying young

Come across this interesting article on 'How To Stay Young' and would like to share it with all of you....

:: Throw out non-essential numbers like your age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

:: Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches one pull you down.

:: Keep learning and never let your brain idle!. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer.

:: Enjoy the simple things.

:: Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

:: The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

:: Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

:: Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

:: Dont take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

:: Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER - Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Annoyance Neighbour

Our stupid neighbour above us, lodged a complaint to the management on us. She claimed that we are burning some fuel or material that causes smoke and obnoxious smell to her unit. As such, the management has send us a letter giving us a final reminder, by ccing to the Advocates & Solicitors.

Come on, what is your problem here? We are not burning anything that is harmful to anyone or that can create fire. All we did was just our normal routine of burning a joss stick every morning and evening. I dont think that small little joss stick will cause any harm to you. Moreover, it is for religion purposes.

Surly woman!

Extra kilos

Ahhhhhhhh..........I just realised that I have gained weight! I am so sad. I was at 48kg and now it went up to 50kg. 2kg in, like 2 months! Couldnt believe it that i will reach 50kg. The heaviest i go so far was at 49kg. I wonder is it because of Jazzercise, some fats had turned into muscles? Whatever it is, I must start my diet plan already. Must control on my food intake.......grrrrr.......

Slimming

Have you ever tried slimming before?

Last weekend, my gf and I went for a 'slimming' shopping around Damansara Utama. In DU, the convenience of the adjacent slimming centres are just the best to shop for slimming packages. We called up a few slimming centres and managed to make appointments for the few weekends to come. Our main intention is to try out those slimming centres that offer 1st trial package at a very minimal charge, i.e. RM18, RM19, RM49 and RM59 (max). However, it also depends on the type of slimming session they offered with such low prices.

Our 1st trial was with Terimee. Thought it will be a good one since their publicity is so huge with Charmaine Sheh as their ambassador. So, here it goes, our experience with Terimee.

  • Made appointment by calling them up just outside their shop. Was hiding in the car with my gf.
  • Without much explanation, they issued us a receipt for the 1st trial at RM19.90 per person. We felt kind of awkward because we have to pay before the session. Reason given, in case they forget..??????????..
  • The beauticians and consultants' appearance are below our expectation. There is no professionalism in them. They can't speak proper English, in fact not even one. They can't speak proper Cantonese too and they prefer to converse in Mandarin.
  • In fact, we have to ask them what are they going to do us. So, they offered us the thermal blanket for our 1st trial. The Thermal Blanket is a process whereby they wrap you up in a hot blanket to reduce your water retention, in turn you will shed off a few grams, as in very minimal grams only....not kilos....*mmmm how i wish*.... There is one slimming centre which offered garlic slim wrap (i have heard of chilli wrap which is quite common nowadays, but garlic wrap) - can't imagine the smell you have to bear....*eeeewwwwww*.....
  • We are not suppose to wear anything except for the disposable panties. As we dont have one, so we requested from them. Usually they will have to provide such to us as it is part of their services, but no, we have to pay for it. RM1 for each. After changing, they took us to the measurement room, whereby they took down our weight and also our waist measurement by wearing their custom made short pants with sizes ranging from 22 - 30+.
  • They started off with a sea salt scrub before wrapping us up in the hot blanket. The whole session will take around 45 mins. The experience was so torturing to be wrapped under the hot blanket and being motionless for at least 30 mins. We couldnt take it anymore, so we requested to be unwrapped 5 mins earlier, if not we will be swooned.
  • After unwrapping, we are suppose to rest for at least 5-10 mins to let our body cool down. The feeling to me it's like a few rounds of jog. The exhausted feel. But it was a relief tho....*phewwwww*
  • Went for a bath, thereafter, our measurements were taken down again to see the results. But i guess they cheated on the waist measurement as the first measurement was taken with loose fittings but the second one was taken with tighter fittings.
The consultant was not too happy with our refusal to sign the package. She kept giving us the negative remarks that even exercise can't help much and delay no more before your fats turn into stubborn fats *Duhhhhh......as if*
One word to describe the impression we had on Terimess - UNPROFESSIONAL

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world! You are the greatest!

We brought our mother and grandma to Ming Room, BSC for lunch but it was fully booked and occupied. We will have to wait at least an hour for a table. As we were too hungry and couldnt wait any longer, we head over to Esquire Kitchen, since my grandma likes the restaurant.

Albeit the restaurant is quite normal for such occasion, but all of us just love the food there. So in total, we have ordered 9 dishes for only 5 of us, and the wonderful thing is, not even a single dish left unfinished. I think my brother and myself ate the most.

Nevermind, to add extra kilos to it, I went and buy myself a Sundae and finished it up all by myself. I felt so guilty after that. I must control my diet already as I do not want to end up being called a 'pork chop'...wahhhhhh.......sob....sob...sob.....
