She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola

Mom: Sia sudah masak tu bubur kacang hijau

Me: Apa ba mom cakap ni?? Mata katak???!!! *still laughing hard*
Mom: Isk.. tu telur katak ba..telur katak!!!!!
Me: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh tu sagu!!!!
Mom: IYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

OMG!!! Mom can be so funny at times… when i was relating this story to my husbandwhile walking Lola today.. i think i laughed so hard that the neighbors dog started barking like crazy too!! hahahahahahahahaha.. ahhh got to love conversations with mom!

And oh.. other notes: i never knew plus size maternity clothes can be so gorgeous and sexy looking! I like…:D BIla la my turn mau ada baby ni… hmmmm

It took me this long to actually tell this on my blog.. it has been hard for me.. i have her for almost 7 years and losing her in a blink of an eye was really hard. I know the day will come where i have to let her go.. but no one can ever prepare themselves for it no matter how much time you prepare and  tell yourself to be ready….

11th Feb 2012 ( Saturday) was the day that i decided to let her go.. (yes, we have to make that dreadful decision to put her to sleep) The journey to the  clinic was the worse part for me. The guilt that i have in me… the sadness… the fear… the anxiety… the emotion… urg! I don’t like that feeling…if i could, i wanted my hub to send her to clinic alone.. i could not take the idea that i’m sending her to clinic to end her life.. but i don’t want to make her feel that i left her all alone at the time that she needed me the most and leave my hub feeling the guilt all on his own too.. so i brave my self up and go with hub at the end…

My hub was being really brave about it. He was more stable compare to me  although i know he too feeling sad and knows well that that will be the last day we will be with her.. ( he has been trying to calm me down  telling “Be positive, we might still be able to help her gets better)

As soon as i reach the clinic.. i could not help myself .. i started crying.. at that point of time.. i don’t even care who was there… i just let my guard down and  cry.

Doc came and see us, examine gummy and told me that on top of her  kidney problem gummy is also suffering from bad  ulcer and bad teeth that made her refuse to eat and with her age and condition, there is no way she can extract the bad teeth and the look in the doc eyes.. i know it’s time to say my goodbye.. but the doc do not have the heart to break the news to me straight away.. instead she made me choose my decision… she gave me an option..

Option 1: To let gummi stay another week or so.. gave her medication… she will get better for one week.. but will get worse the next…

Option 2: was to put her to sleep.

Doc gave me time to think and discuss with hubby…

I so wanted to stay with option 1 but looking at how frail and weak she was.. and how much she suffered… I  decided to let her go… Only God knows how i feel… The logic vs emotion…

Doc gave me a document to sign… a document letter saying that i have made my mind and my dog is not treatable anymore…a document  to authorize the doc to euthanize gummy…

I held her for the last time, said how sorry i am, how much i love her , how much im going to miss her and asked her forgiveness for letting her go that way…..

And that was the last time i see and held her…. I still miss her and once in a while.. i still cry…..

Wherever she is.. i pray to the Lord that she is happy and perfect up there in the doggy heaven.

Gummy, you know that i love you and you will always be in my heart. You are my imperfect yet perfect dog !

Goodbye my satu mata… till we meet again.

2005- 11-02- 2012

Time flies soooooooo fast!!! I never feel like it has been two years now, well almost two years that is since the day that i got married to Daniel. I still feel like baru ja kami kahwin.

In 3 more months, we will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary sudah and believe it or not.. i am already thinking what to give to him. I always find it hard to buy him present, seriously. I don’t know what to give him every time, so i believe by thinking way ahead will help me a lot in term of what to buy and also my budget.

How i wish buying gifts to guy is as easy as buying gifts to a woman. I have gone over to hubby gift idea tapi i need something that can last longer than strawberries.

Hmm… do you have any idea? What do you think is the best gift to give to your husband on second anniversary? Or if you don’t mind, maybe you can share what did you give to your husband during your second anniversary?

I really want to go a lil more extra this year for our anniversary… just because i didn’t do anything last year. Hopefully, i can really make it happen.

I really enjoyed this road trip. Banyak sia nampak but unfortunately inda banyak gambar yang sia ambil.  Malas pula sia ..LOL!

My Sandakan trip was  to go and visit my sister’s family and my dad and of cos, to celebrate CNY too.. after 11 years, ni la first time sia balik for CNY. I have forgotten how meriah CNY can be..  I missed the PAI NIAN but i managed to burned joss stick for my grandparents. Itu pun satu hari lambat..heheh sebab we arrived Sandakan late eve sudah and mom habis with the pai nian already.

The thing i like the most about this year CNY was the mandi tengah malam buang soi tradition.. hahahha. I really find it fun and cool! We had our water splashing time at my sister’s cedar pergola ( cewah, prasan! Padahal porch ja), sambil teriak teriak GONG XI FA CAI..hahah betul betul macam cina tulen..padahal.. campuran family ja. I also love and enjoy the fact that my hub… walaupun dia born Christian and do not have chinese blood in him at all… he actually follow this tradition of “water splashing” time with us and that is really special for me. It makes me feel like he really appreciate,respect  and honor my family.

As for our Kudat trip. My very first trip to Kudat ( Yes, 30 years of my life.. i never been to Kudat, how sad is that?) and we head to TIP OF BORNEO. OMG! I never knew Tip of borneo is that cantik! The water was so clear and cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.. This place have not been too commercialized yet which is good..  Hopefully this place will be kept that way..

After tip of borneo, we went ahead to Bavanggazo for a night stay. It’s about 50 km away from tip of borneo. This again is my very first time staying and living in a long house. The experience was awesome for me The Tuan Rumah served us with KG food. YUMMY! Sayur kg like lomiding, sayur manis, payaya muda masak inda tau apa (LOL) paku pakis, ikan goreng and ayam masak kicap! Punya la sedapppppppppppppppppp…and oh the CILI!!! Must try the cili padi of kudat…superrrrrrrrrrr pedas and ada UMP! Fuyoh..sia lapar pula teringat tu makanan.. celaka. I need to masak la ni today. There goes my diet..erk!

Anyway, after the dinner they did some dance show performance. We dance to the bamboo dance.. er i don’t know what you call it.. maybe mogunatip?  and then the traditional Rungus dance.. it was fun, fun night!

I also learn this stick game trick, it’s actually  test your IQ game.. i now have it at home.. would love to see how my trainers and colleague play this thing.. see how fast they can take the string out from the stick.

Anyway, here’s some pictures i have from my kudat trip..taken by my samsung phone.

I was pretty happy with the result of this workout.  I love the fact that my legs got really tired towards the 8 sets… and i burned total of 607 kcal in 1hour5 min workout.  I’m sure by tomorrow i will be walking funny..heheh.

my workout:

you got to do this for 10 rounds. Yes, you read that right… 10 rounds of each workout!

Your routine should be like this: Go through exercise 1,2,3,4. Repeat again… 1,2 ,3 and 4 till you finish 10 sets!

1- Left leg lunges on step board. I use 8kg dumbbell on each side of my hand. – 10 repetitions.

3- Double hand kettle bell swing. This one i did progression. my first set i did 10 reps, second set i did 11 reps, third set 12 reps.. and so on. You get what i mean right? you just gonna add 1 reps at each sets. by the 10 sets, you should be doing 20 reps already.

4- Barbell squat- i did 6 kg on each side. ( very light again for me, but i don’t want to kill my legs straight to hell when this is just my 3rd day training) x 10 reps.

at the end i add on 3 minutes abs workout.  It goes like this:

10 sec rest, 50 second work for 3 min. Consist of 3 exercise only.

1- Abs crunch with shoulder press up. I was using 10 pounds medicine ball.

2- Abs bench tuck

3- Leg raise and abs cycle.

How to do the abs workout?

1- Do normal crunch with medicine ball above your shoulder, once you reach the top, bring the medicine ball down to your chest and push it back up above your head and slowly roll your back on the floor again. keep repeating till you reach 50 sec.

2- You will need a bench for this workout. Sit at the edge of the bench, place both hand at the back and lean backward, extend your legs out and then bring your knee to your chest and bring your body up. Repeat till you reach 50 ec

3- Lie flat on your back. Legs up in the air, hands at the back of your head and  then slowly lower your legs down just before your back start arching and then bring left  knee to your chest and right elbow to your knee and repeat the same movement till you reach 50 sec.

Mine definitely nothing to do with buying gold bullion..:P but just simple 4 goals…

This year i only have four main objectives to target.. I don’t know if i can achieve it all or not but i got to try.. i know it will be tough but i got to start somewhere to go another step ahead, kan?

So i hope 2012 will be more supportive and good to me.. heheheh.

1- I need to save.. save money for 3 purpose this year,

A- I want to buy good decent present for my husband during our anniversary this year, i remember last year i didn’t get him anything .. I had really tight budget… so this year, i want to do something for him.
B- Saved for Christmas… i realize.. every Christmas sia mau pokai! Wait rephrase.. bukan mau tapi memang POKAI! So i have 12 months to save..i should be able to kumpul some amount of money to buy a decent presents for like 30 family members, Right?!!!? I should be able to kan???

C- Save for my travelling trip!! Yes, we plan to go China this year.. so i have to save for this trip… MUST!

2- Mom to go for an oversea trip this year.. at least once!  This has been in my wish list for the past 2 years now.. i believe this year is the right year to do so for her… and her first oversea trip with me will be ……DESTINATION: CHINA!

3- Get fitter and healthier.

A- Lower down my body fat percentage to 20% . This one, i may not be able to achieved it .. but again i may.. it’s all depending on my number 4 target..

B- MUST workout at least 3 times a week for at least 9 months!  Heh! This should be attainable once my engine starts… my only Achilles heels is when my hub starts giving me his muka sepuluh sen… telling me not to go and workout bila dia malas… hahahahahha.. this year.. sia akan cuba pakai ATAP ZINC Shield for this weakness of mine…:P

4- I believe i am ready for this one.. and i want to be as well… so i pray to our dear Heavenly Father to bless Dan and me with a cute healthy baby this year…cos i want to start a FAMILY.  So Lord, please  hear my prayer and bless us with your greatest gift of all….Amen.

So yup… there you go guys.. that my 2012 personal target for this year.. I don’t think i asked too much right?? heheh..

To everyone yang ada resolution this year.. i wish you all the best of luck and hope you can achieved all of it! I am already starting with my first and Third target starting from TODAY!

Daniel Chiam in the house you all!!!!

So that’s it peeps.. that was our Christmas celebration for 2011!!

2011 has been a tough year for me mentally and emotionally… my first quarter was superbly hard on me… I remember this was the time where i felt like the whole world was against me, nothing goes my way, i was all alone and really was depressed. To add to the misery, we’ve lost our dear friend Philip. We never expected it and never would have thought he would end his life in such manner. Until now.. i still do miss him.. granted we are not super close, but losing someone in such way is never easy for anyone.  Sigh.. R.I.P Philip… You are always in our dear heart.

2011,work wise-  I learned that no matter how much someone tells you, we have to work as a team… there is no such thing in reality.. everyone is for their own.. it’s really dog eats dog world out there… i learned that in hard way too..sigh ( Again)

2011- Me and Hub traveled a lot .. First we went to Koh Sa mui for our honeymoon… heheh.. this is one fun, crazy adventure honeymoon for me… i got chase by a dog while riding on motorbike with Hubby, i got onto the craziest sea adventure ever in my life where i thought that was the end of my life…hahahahah… sat and drove on a go cart car  for the first time and drove like a turtle and was laughing all the way like a mad woman.. i don’t know why i was laughing… “SOT”. Got on Elephant ride and was soaking wet after because it was raining like mad! Visited a mummified monk and found out that i loveeeeeeeeeeeee the BBQ ripe banana in Koh Sa Mui..SEDAAAAPPPPPP!!! I wish we have this in Malaysia…tapi malangnya tiada.

Second big trip we’ve made for year 2011 was to India, Bangalore. I never knew i would actually like India. It is sooooooooo different from what i thought it was.. in my mind, it would be dirty, beggars everywhere, hot and humid weather, traffic jam, full of insane honking on the street ( Like JKT) and i have to be very careful with the food…. but in reality, it was almost totally the opposite of what my mind thought it would be. Bangalore weather was superbly nice!  It was chill and nice.. i could sleep without having to have aircon on at night..not that Dan’s aunt have one installed in the house.. i don’t remember me sweating like mad there..i didn’t see much street beggars ..traffic jam wasn’t as horrendous as KL…and the food…OMG!!! IT WASSSSSS SOOOOOOO YUMMY!!!! Like… seriously! Shopping was heaven there too! I love their Saree’s collection, ” “Aladin” pants, “aladin” shoes, fresh fruit juice, sugar cane juice…OMGGGGGGGG…… GAH! I would like to make another trip back to Bangalore and maybe if we have the moolah and panjang umur NEW DELHI… i want to visit Taj Mahal…another destination in my MUST visit list.

Oh yea i also climbed mount kinabalu! How can i forget that?!!!! It was an amazing experience for me..the journey up, the view..OMG so breathtaking! Hiking with hubby and working as team.. it definitely did brought us closer… the view from the peak.. seeing the sunrise..oh….i just can’t describe it… The night skies felt sooooo close to us.. ahhhh … sia sangat sangat suka and i felt in love with my hometown all over again for the gazillion time! And now,  i can proudly call myself… A REAL SABAHAN! TEEHEEEE!!!

2011 – I got to spend more time with my mom, thanks to my hub. It was one of my wish to have mom stayed longer with us. She stayed with us for 2 months last year..:D so that was awesome! Had good laughter and shared stories with her.. i hope she had a good time and enjoyed the trip as much as i enjoyed her company for the past 2 months..

2011- I got fitter and better with my fitness but i still have long way to go… this is still a struggle for me.. cos there is time where i can be very lazy and demotivated. So 2012, i need to push through it… i know its impossible for me to reach 20% bodyfat and yet at the same time trying to be pregnant.. so my 2012 target would be.. just keep going to the gym at least 3 times a week and let the nature takes it course.

so 2011…take this post as my  lapel pins for you ( CHEWAH!)…. so  i bid you goodbye and thank you for all the adventures, heart aches, headache, sore body, good memories, good laughter, well learned lessons and experience that you brought for me… it is something that i will treasure and keep for the rest of my life..i definitely have learned and gained a lot from you!

TATA!

I have combined Zuzana’s workout and Nike Woman woman workout… Please do not get turned off by the name  NIKE WOMAN.. anyone can actually do this workout.. it doesn’t mean it is only for women.. i don’t believe in that term where men should do this workout and women should only do this workout…that’s bullshit.Anyway, I  promised to share my workout with you guys for ages now( Sorry). This is for you Daniel Chiam.. this is the workout i created few weeks ago and i really liked it.. it worked my whole body,specially my core and my legs…. i hope you will love it as much as i am…. GOOD LUCK!

Ok, so the workout: 45 sec work, 10 sec rest. Do this workout for 4 rounds..that’s  20 rounds on your GYMBOSS.

1- Diagonal touch down squat.  ( L side)

2- Diagonal touch down squat. ( R side)

For the above workout .. you can use weight or without..it is up to you.

3- Dive Bomber

4- Crab curl to press- I used 5 kg Dumbbell each side for this one.

5- Plank with med ball knee tuck.

Sorry, i could not give you any pictures or videos at the moment..i just have no idea how to do it since Hubby changed my layout here…LOL! But i promise you, it is real easy to find these exercise.. just go to youtube and search for NIKE WOMEN or to Zuzana website.. you’ll get all the workout there.

So happy trying to those who is trying this workout.. do share and tell me how was it for you.

I just got back from Bangalore, India two weekends back and last week from Langkawi. I haven’t got all the pictures up  at facebook but i would really like to share with you guys.. just not at the moment. Running short of time and been tired..need to catch some sleep and rest…

The new manager just came on board too so it has been pretty hectic with work as well…

I have been “bad” too recently..i  did not train as much as i planned and would like to…:P but i have been working out whenever i can…i will post my workout routine once i have enough time to write about it..

So that’s my workout for today….:D If you decided to give this a go… tell me how you feel and how did you do…:)

And here’s my new addiction. My new cheerleading trophies  ( Ba, tiba tiba si mel)  If you wanna know the goodness of steel cuts oats…wiki it peeps…LOL! It’s all out there…a little costly… but for my health and fitness goal.. rm26 per box is worth the money don’t you think so?( ba tiba tiba)  I am craving for this every morning sometimes even at night.. it’s just so yummy and healthy.. I’m not a person who loves to eat OATS… but with this steel cut oats.. i can eat it anytime! I love the taste of it.. i normally would take this with wheat germ and a bit of bovril just to give it a taste… there is so many other ways to eat this .. you can even google it or youtube it… it’s just so yummy!!!

YES! This is my new must have in cupboard now… you can get this at Mid Valley COLD STORAGE

At the age of 30, i have gone from super lean look to not so lean look to full grown woman body.. yes, i know i should be thankful and feel blessed with these body but having been living with an ATHLETIC LOOK for almost all of my life… this changes has just thrown me out of my comfort zone!

I used to live with only less than 20% of my body fat..heck it was lesser than 15% actually. I was  lean.. well toned body..and proud of my super almost visible 6 packs ( 4 packs definitely but 6 packs almost visible) … as i aged…my metabolism slows down..my ass got heavier.. i got lazier and  my bodyfat percentage shoot up! It wasn’t that bad at first.. it was only like 18% … but as i reach mid 20′s i realized that my body started changing.. I’m growing more hips… I’m growing bigger boobs ( not that i’m complaining about it, cos it not la besar sangat) i’m also pilling up tiers on my so called 6 packs! Goodness gracious! I definitely panicked.. but did i change my lifestyle? NOPE,  i did not… I still continue eating as how i used to when i was younger ( yes, habit die hard) living in denial… telling myself  that i am still young.. i could afford to eat this much amount and i still worked out what.. so why need changes?

Little did i know… all that amount of unhealthy food that i used to take will actually stay WAYYYYYYYYYYYY longer in my system and give me the effect wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy much later in my life…by late 20′s my bodyfat percentage have gone from 15% to 18%  to 20% and now at the age of 30 my bodyfat percentage is sitting nicely and comfortably  at 23%!!  ARGGG!!!

Everyone thinks i look good, i look sexy, i have the right amount of “meat” at the right place…but seriously.. do i feel all that? I don’t.  I know too well that if i don’t keep myself in checked all the time.. that 23% could well turned to 33% by the next 10 years… do i want that to happen?? NO, i don’t.  But genetic plays a big role in life… i have big size genetic.. i gain easily… and to lose it.. it’s not as easy as it was before. Yes, i used to gain it.. and lose it back just like that… and because of this ” magic” now you see, now you don’t weight.. i also have “earned” few stretch marks here in there in my body part… sigh.. but i am still thankful that i don’t have it on my arms..:( oh and don’t mentioned about cellulite’s… I have tonnes of that in me.. I’m more than willing to share it with you if you need some… My whole legs  covered with them! YUCK! As i get older… it becomes more visible… it scares the hell out of me!

Can we all lose our cellulite?? NOPE! We can’t ..again.. this is your genetic..you have to live with it as i am now… all you can do.. work out hard and hope that all that muscle you have gained while working out .. will cover it up for you…

So now, at the age of 30… i am just picking up the pace again where i have left when i was at the age of 27… i stopped working out completely from age 27 till 29 1/2 and i’m paying it now with all these unwanted extra pounds on me….

It’s hard to be honest, working out is something that i need to adapt to again after so long.. but if i want to live longer and healthier.. i know i have to make the sacrifices now for my own future… nothing comes easy anyway in life.. you got to work to earn it. Either in smart way or hard way…..

As for healthy eating habit… this is another part that i am still learning at the moment.. and trying to make it a habit.. BLOODY HARD,  i know. So to those people out there…who keep asking me about food… my advice to you is… if you think you can’t make the drastic change and know well that you will fall back to where you came from after 1 or 2 weeks of healthy eating… i would say, start with just cutting your normal portion size by half , after 1 month or so move on to cutting/ eliminating the bad food from your list ..1 or 2 item at a time and from there..slowly increase the amount… and if you ever fall back to old habits.. don’t give up.. keep going.. It’s not the amount of time you failed counts but it’s how determined you are with it….:) I know i have fallen back to the ” bad eating” category few times now.. but i pick myself up again whenever i think i am there…healthy eating habit can be tough.. but it can be tough only if you want to make it tough on yourself…. being healthy is all up to you at the end of the day.. if you are not ready for it… memang susah,  but if you have that clear mind set of what you want.. i believe..everything will be easy for you.

So here i am today… at the age of 30… i am now  working my cute round butt out  with my crazy cute round butt husband in the gym where i’m attached to now…. Will it be easy for both of us.. NOPE, it won’t but i have put my mind to it and i know nothing can stop me from trying to achieve my goal of 18% body fat… well unless if im pregnant la that is… LOL!

” Crossing my fingers and toes really hard now”

So if by end of this month i am still not pregnant….i will set myself a new target goal..

short term target goal… for the next 6 weeks.. i wanna be able to workout at least 3 times a week.

2 months – 4 months- i wanna lose at least 3kg of my body weight and lose 3% of my bodyfat..

4th month – 8th month- I want to  be able to see some improvement on my body shape.. specially on my tummy area, legs and bum. My body fat should go down another 2-3%.

9th to 12 month- I wanna be weighing at 52kg with the bodyfat percentage of 18%.

Now question is, can i do it? I don’t know.. but whatever it is.. i need to get going before the bandwagon leave me behind and 10 years down the road, i suffer and regret that i did not take good care of myself while i still can.

So yep, if by next month i am not pregnant… i will continue my workout journey with full of determination and goal.

My biggest target… 52kg with 18% of  BodyFat %… which means… less shoe and clothes shopping for me.. but more on healthy food and supplement to help me achieve my target… TIME TO BE THE GIRL THAT I”M WELL KNOWN FOR…. The fit and crazy Emelda.. well good crazy that is… hahahahah

Hmmm reading back all the write up here.. bikin takut diri sendiri ni.. LOL! Guess it’s time for me to find life insurance rate.. see which one is good.. mana la tau kan.. terlalu mengejar kejayaan… sampai lupa diri… hahahahahahahahahahah … no la… i don’t think im that hardcore la…

Hmm i forgot.. i need to learn CLEAN EATING TOOO!!! Back to my old boring diet… So whatever the result is guys.. please wish me luck! I need to lose this stubborn fats and start building up my muscle back again…..

Oh i need to also check my BF% by mid month this month…..

Sia kesian juga sama ni patience tapi at the same time , i can’t help but laugh out loud.. i mean… who would name your kid like that???!!! Apparently mom bilang.. she’s pretty too… tapi nama dia BAHAYA!

Mom used to work in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, she’s been working there for as long as i can remember while growing up.. she knows all the scary stories, know almost every workers and doctors in the hospital and worked with almost all the department ..

This happen when she was working in  Gynaecology ward. “sudah la dia kerja di Gynae ward.. tambah dengan ni patience punya nama…Betul betul mengundang BAHAYA”

Friend: Cuba gia kau call ni name? Sia inda berani mau call dia.

Mom: “Check the name …squint her eyes.. when the name got clearer and registered in her memory, she was so shock and nearly laugh out loud but decided to just bite her tongue”

Mom turned around and asked her friend again..

Mom: Macam mana gia mau call dia ni?

Friend: Tu la, cuba gia kau pi jumpa dia.. malu sia mau jumpa dia..

So mom walk up to the patience and ask her question.. Ni kau punya nama ka?

Patient: Iya, itu la nama sia – AMPUT SIA.

Mom dengan segan and malunya…  just nod and walk her to the clinic room…

When mom finish telling us this story..we three wonder how’s her life growing up being called.. AMPUT SIA.. must be horrible kan?

Mom bilang, banyak macam nama dia jumpa waktu kerja di Hospital.. adala BELIMBING, ada KOHOPIS and ada juga nama TOTO … adui.. memang betul macam macam…
