The Biggest Loser

Ever since I started watching the Biggest Loser on the Hallmark channel (Astro) I’ve been inspired to improve my health and body. I must admit that I’m not in the best of shape compared to my “younger” days.

I’m 24 years old and I weigh in at 80kg. Since I’m not a tall guy, 80kg is just to “fat” for me. I haven’t been this heavy since my secondary school years. Nevertheless I am determined to loose the weight and gain my health back.

So for the past two weeks I’ve been jogging after work and also on weekends. Let me tell you that for the first few days of light jogging were painful. My legs felt heavy and I just felt constant pain.

But now when I jog I don’t feel the pain anymore. My legs feel lighter and I can go for a long distance without having to rest. Physically I feel great. Of course my main objective is to lose my “fatty excess baggage” so that I can wear my 32 inch waist pants again (currently I’m 34 inch)

However all of this could not be possible if I did it on my own. In order to have a consistent jogging routine I strongly recommend you jog with a partner. Having another person jog and support you will be the defining factor in your quest to lose the pounds.

On that note I would like to thank my jogging partner (you know who you are ^_^) for her support and willingness to be apart of my new healthier life style.

PS – I’ll post my new weight at the end of the month…

My MMU interview

I went for an interview yesterday at the Multimedia University (MMU) in Cyberjaya. It was for the assistant manager post at the research & development division (R&D).

In order to make this story interesting, let me begin the story 2 days before the actual interview. Here we go… It all began when I was doing my “thing” at the office when suddenly a colleague of mine drop by the office and said that I should try applying for a job vacancy at MMU. Since I had nothing better to do (except for finishing my transcription…sorry boss…still on it) I just sent my resume via email. Bare in mind that I sent my resume for “suka-suka” (fun) I didn’t have any serious intention of going for the interview at that time.

The next day I received a call from a representative from MMU asking me if I was willing to attend the interview session for the assistant manager post tomorrow. Since I had nothing better to do (hehe) I said yes.

On the interview day itself I asked a friend of mine who is already working there to accompany me for morale support. But since he had other work to do he accompanied me for a brief period and gave me the “secret weapon” for the interview. You’ll never guess what it is......he gave me an orange coloured tie. Yes folks the competitive edge for an interview at MMU is the official TM orange tie. I’m not kidding…that tie really is a plus.

Although I arrived early, I still became the last person to walk in for the interview because the lists of candidates were according to alphabetical order. I waited 3 hours. YES 3 HOURS. From 3 pm to 6pm. All I could think of at that moment was (Zzzzzz).

Finally it was my turn to shine. I must admit that I was a little overwhelmed when I walked into the meeting room. There was not 1, not 2 but 5 interviewers. Yes 5… To make a long story short…the interview went well and the result…..I’ll be posting that soon….

Perdana Discourse Series 9

The ninth Perdana Discourse Series (PDS9) was held on the 6th of May 2009 at the Perdana Leadership Foundation (PLF) in Putrajaya. But for those of you who are in the dark about what PDS is, let me fill in the void with a brief explanation about the program. It is a one-day semi-structured communication platform where a prominent presenter (in this case Tun Mahathir) will speak to selected clusters of audience on a pre-determined topic addressing its definition and tracing issues like policies, strategies and possible models used during the tenure of the past prime ministers. In addition a panellist session will also be conducted to develop the topic.


This is my second time being involved with the PDS and let me just say that the topic of discussion was far from “boring”. The topic was about “the role of the executive, legislative, judiciary and constitutional monarchy in the governing of Malaysia” (I’m not making this up) that’s the topic chosen by Tun M. I’ll admit that my general knowledge regarding to laws and constituencies in Malaysia are quite limited but I tried my best to grasp at what Tun M had to say. In terms of guests at the program, the auditorium was packed (as usual) and the participants were mainly people who have keen interests in the subject of law.

For most parts of the keynote address I found myself lost in the judiciary jargon used by Tun. Anyway, during the Q&A session with Tun it was no surprise that people were more than eager to get their questions to Tun. After its all said and done the result is simple, I have witnessed a community that is passionate about the country and also its people. The right for all Malaysian is a priority and responsibility for all. The world will never be truly justified but at least we can say that we have tried.

No comment...for now

It’s been far too long since my last posting on this blog. The main reason why I haven’t been updating it is because; well I just don’t have anything interesting or stupid to say. (Or is it because I’m just to busy at work?) In any case I apologize to my “fans” for not being more productive and constructive. Perhaps my fellow bloggers can drop an email and give suggestions or even share their thoughts on certain matters that need my participation. I’ll be more than happy to give my comments and views.

There are tons of issues going on locally and globally around us. But for some uncanny reason, I don’t feel like commenting or giving my thoughts on them. Maybe something’s are better left unsaid. Or maybe I’m just too lazy to blog about it. In any case, I’ll try my best to share my thoughts in the near future. So for the time being I’ll just post some pictures of me during the KLFCW - Forum for Palestine which was held on THURSDAY 5th FEBRUARY 2009 at the CROWNE PLAZA MUTIARA HOTEL, KUALA LUMPUR.

I'll be back with more interesting things to say...

just you wait...PEACE

Accidents DO happen.....to ANYONE !!!

Where do I even begin? Let me begin by asking a simple question. Do you believe that car accidents will never happen to you? Well, if you asked me that question a week ago I would have definitely said no. But something happened to me that changed my view on this matter. I was involved in an accident. The good news is no one was injured. My car on the other hand was not so lucky. Yes…an accident.

Just for the record I’m the victim of the accident and not the cause of it. We can thank a nineteen year old girl driving her mother’s car for the incident. Even though I know it was not her intentions to cause the accident, I must admit I was pretty, very irritated about what had happen to my car. Again just for the record my car is still new. I just got it 3 months ago. Anyway, the incident went like this. It was 1.10pm I was driving my car accompanied by awin to get our convocation scrolls at UiTM Shah Alam.

Because the convocation ceremonies were still on going, the roads inside the campus were congested. In other words, we were literally in a traffic jam. So it was impossible for anyone to get to anywhere fast. Now this is when it gets interesting or for me painful. It happened so fast. All of a sudden a loud crash was heard and felt. I was thrown forward to my steering wheel. Awin was also thrown forward. The impact was so violent. I quickly looked at Awin to see if she was hurt. Luckly she was alright. I looked around and saw people jaws drop because of what happen. Next I turned my intention on the person who hit my car. I got out of the car and looked at what kind of damage the impact had caused.

I was in utter disbelief when I saw a big dent on the back bonnet of the car and the rear bumper was also in bad shape.Let me be honest. At that point all I wanted to do was to kick the living sh*t out of the driver who caused it. But for the record I didn’t (even though I really wanted to). Moving on, I pointed to the driver and told her to pull her car over to a parking lot. At that moment there was so much emotion running inside of me. If I was Bruce Banner I could literally change into the Hulk at that moment.

Anyway when the driver came out of her car my anger only grew. Why you may ask. Well firstly because she was a girl so I couldn't really beat the living sh*t out of her and secondly I realized that she was not the owner of the car. (for the record she was driving an auto transmission) Moving on, it was clearly her fault and I had no time to give her a verbal beating (again I was very tempted but didn’t) so I just went to the basics and ask for her Mykad, driver licencse and contact number. In addition I also told her to contact her parents and inform them of the situation. She was reluctant at first but changed her mine after I gave her a whipping in verbal context.

I could see it in her eyes that she really did not want her parents to know but she had no choice. The thing that irritated me the most was her excuse that she had other things to do. In other words she was in a hurry. So I gave her a break and told her to make sure her parents contacted me as soon as possible.Again I can see her fear when I mentioned her parents. After she agreed I let her go. Now the right thing to do in this kind of situation was to make a police report. Which I did.

This story is far from over but I will leave it here for now. The moral of the story....
Well, I'll leave that for you to decide...
