A Gaga Christmas

It's November 25th and guess what? Christmas is exactly a month's time away! Hurry with those Christmas shopping, gift wrappings, socks hanging, turkey stuffing and not forgetting practice for carolings as time is running short! Maybe I'll finally get my presents this year :-)


To get into the mood, here's a Christmas song by Mama Monster herself. Enjoyz!


(oh, it's snowing in my car!  ^^ )

Lousy service and salad-less dinner

This is one of those flaming posts, so readers...


****BEWARE****

Tonight was one of those nights whereby parents had to attend some society dinner. Well, if the folks came all the way from Sarawak, Sabah and China, you had to entertain them right? Besides the point, dinner at home wasn't an option so I headed out to Mid Valley gym session. Good way to burn time for one quick evening right? Still have to work those abs of mine. They are so puny right now >.<

Newayz~ after sweating it all out, decided to pay Metrojaya a patronage. The lousy sales person who took my pre-order booking hasn't call me back after 3 weeks of waiting. What terrible service! So guess I had to go there again and manually pick up the shirt and ask for an on the spot stock check.

Having both Jusco and Metrojaya in MV, prices sure are competitive :D

Upon reaching the Black Forest section, no one was freaking there! Had to wait for like 5 mins till I lost my patience and went to seek the only sale person around at the next section beside it (which was a women's lingerie section @.@ )! Ish, after asking nicely for someone to help me find the proper size for theparticullar shirt, she went around shouting.....

"Black Forest! Black Forest, Mana kau?!"

Well, a bit embarrassing at first, but I guess sales people after 8 are a bit edgy. Bear in mind this lady was a young Chinese lady! A 'quick' 10 mins later, she returned with the security guard. Clueless as he is, he asked what he can do for me. (Arg, I just wanted a simple sales person to assist me!) So there I go explaining that I need a stock check on the particular shirt for my size. Then there he goes on his walkie-talkie.....

"Looking for Black Forest, Black Forest.... roger?"


***faints***

Gosh, that was really a 'BIG' help! after like a min of mumbling over the device, he finally helps me to check the stock. HOWEVER....... I had to wait for like 15 mins and he still hasn't returned! Being at the end of my patience, I just walked off for dinner.....

With that kinda incident, didn't had any real apatite for dinner. So a simple mocha and grilled black pepper chicken at Secret Recipe had to do! XD

~As per menu~

Well, it looks yummy on the menu right? Yummy grilled chicken, dipped in freshly grounded black pepper sauce, a nice serving of herb rice and an added serving of fresh garden salad~ Such a nice mix~~ But looks can be so deceiving as you would soon read...... 

Putting aside it was already 8.30, I would expect the food was still good as it was far from closing time. But when the dish came, the salad was missing. All that was in it's place was.......

Literally a corn on a stick!!!!

(Start inserting foul words here) 

Gosh! what a let down. So I immediately called the waiter and ask about the salad which is on the menu. His response was:

"Oh sorry, kita dah tukar, tapi tak beritahu kat menu"

(Kindly insert MORE foul words here) =.="

Well, apparently, even the neighboring tables asked about the salad, but couldn't bother to complain much as they were busy dating and having couple cakes. Without any more energy to mutter out even a sigh of disbelief, I just finished my food, text a few friends and left quietly. Oh yea, not forgetting paying and complaining about the food to the cashier as well   (<_<)"

Guess it's not my night today. Gotta work tomorrow, so hitting the sack early.

Twilightz Signing off~

Blog trauma and a new start

This blog initially started as a place of ranting and a place for me to dwindle away with my everyday thought. At first, writing posts were kinda natural back in the old MSN domain days. And then came friendster notes and finally blogspot. For those who do not know, this BS (Blogspot :D ) domain is actually my second one.

First post of this domain back in 2009.
It's been such a long time

Before long, the blogging habit started to die down badly to the state it is today. Well, it wasn't my laziness is to blame, but rather the lack of intuitively fresh ideas, time and passion for it. Ever notice that most blogs die down cause no one likes reading them? It's either the posts are boring, too much words, bad BG and sometimes even irritating music. (yes even music) 

Damn you brain of mine!

Well, I'm already half way there as I scored 2 out of 4! Impending doom much! Hence, Mr Simon here has made a vow to make at least 1 post every week, and a minimum of 6 every month. Let's see how i fare from there! Gambateh~~

So guys, help refer and visit often! I've only got 1.2k visitor in the past 2 years :(

~Ciaoz~

body of 24

Updates time~

Now that the writer's block season has passed, let's have another post shall we? ^^

I guess the topic of the week shall be something vain. Guess what', this blog post is all about my health and fitness. So, for the faint hearted and easily bored ones, you'd better click alt + F4 now, wahahaha!

After 6 months of returning to the gym, my body is finally back to normal! (Well almost normal). Upon returning from abroad, my weight dropped from my initial 65 kgs down to a mere whopping 62 kgs. Well, this ain't such as a happy feat as it sounds as even losing weight has it's own stories of blood and tears. Anyhow, after being back in the land of abundant food, my weight could only go up by point five (0.5) kgs no thanks to my amazing metabolisme! This only meant that the muscles that I built up in the past year prior to the trip was gone for good~

Sensing the impending  danger like any other over self aware teen (coughs coughs~~), the whole mission of going to the gym restarted after a year long of hiatus. Through countless workouts, push ups and panting from cardios on the treadmill, I'm finally a bit closer to achieving my optimum body weight. A very vain thing to say indeed, but I'm kinda proud of it ^^

The real story of this post begins now. Just the otherday I was approached by the trainers and was offered a few free sessions along with a full body analysis or something. Well, being gullible as I am usually am, I just cheerfully accepted the deal. It was the body analysis that actually managed to shock me the most. Normally you would expect the results to be disappointing right?

Well, being the owner of our own bodies, one would always assume that as long as the perception of one's body is not good, you'll be actually hoping for a bad result. No difference here as I was standing on the BMI machine, letting the weird looking thing taking my many readings and such.

Ok, and here's the machine's verdict.

• I'm officially 66.4 kgs in weight - This is 2 kg less muscle mass from my optimum weight

• My core and arms have balanced fat to muscle ratio - So I guess it's balance gua. No over sized hulk arms at the very least

• Low heart beat rate - A potential low blood pressure syndrome which is not suprising as I'm always sensitive to temperature changes

• About 10% of total body fat - the average for Malaysian Males

• legs have 5% more fat than it is supposed to have - Two words says it all, 'Fat Heavy Arse' :)

• and finally, the most suprising one of all, I have a body and health of a 24 year old. - Well, a bit of a bad news should be in the mix right? (and yes, i'm not 24 yet!

So with this kinda results, it's kinda mix feelings of either being a good or bad news. At a glance,e it seems rather right to call this the bringer of good news as my workout has been slightly paying off. It's just the abs that's still lacking. On the other hand, this proves that I've gotta work even harder for my health and body. Arg, the agony~

Wootz, it's 2011/2011 !

Gosh, 4 months of hiatus and November's ending soon. Time really flies when you are busy working and tending to life matters. Tons of things to update before 2012 comes around the corner and says hi to all of us! Arg, where have time fled all this months? >.<

Well, biggest event to boot is, IT'S November! It's finally here and guess what, it's mua's birthday month! Well, not a great or auspicious day as it was also the first day of SPM (as like every other year). But heck, i'll still celebrating it~ Booya!

on the eve of it, had a mini celebration with some old college mates. Watched Immortals at GSC, dinner-ed at shabu-shabu 1U, and ended the night with drinks at the Sanctuary Curve. Movie was lame, dinner was full of meat and just ok, while the night ending drinks were great! Top that up with a previous 3 days streak of drinking, and oh boy, did my tummy gloat~~  XD

Mediocore. Nice storyline but lame graphics.

 

Food Galore - meat, meat and more meat!

And a flaming arse drink to end the night

On the great day itself, thing's just had to go bad as the monorail had to break down. So had'a walk all the way from office to the LRT station which took 20 whole mins under the rain. Once home, had a simple chicken rice dinner. Rather sad dinner as sis had to have SPM the next day, so can't complain can I? At least they bought me my fav choc cake at home, haha!!!

Well it wasn't that all bad. At least I blew two cakes that day =)   <~pix as follows~>

Chicken rice and asam fish gone in flat 15 mins!

Tiramisu cake by the guys in office! Thanks !

(please ignore the name >.<")

American choc cake. Sis chose it :)

Overall, Simon Day wasn't so bad (gosh, i referred myself as a third person! LOL!). Cake, wishes, food, friends, candles and even wall spam on Facebook! Who could ask for more right? Guess the only things that were missing were my birthday gifts. For a guy who finally turned 23 (oh me god~ so fast! cough coughs~), he sure needs at least a present right? 

Oh well, better luck next year gua~ 

P/S : No more graveyards please...
