A Kettlebell is a centuries-old Russian training tool that looks like a bowling ball with a handle. The kettlebell appears in a 1704 Russian Dictionary (Cherkikh, 1994).

It appears that, originally, kettlebells were counter-weights used in Russian markets. Country folk started throwing them around and eventually they became very popular in Russia as a training tool. In 1913 the Russian magazine Hercules reported “Not a single sport develops our muscular strength and bodies as well as kettlebell athletics.” A Russian strong man was referred to as a kettlebell man –girevik. Girya is Russian for Kettlebell. Although kettlebells develop strength, a kettlebell-trained body is not bulky. quoted  from – Sonomafit.com

Great, fun and effective workout!

And to those who wants to learn and know how is this equipment used for workout, check this video from youtube My favourite is the turkish get up!  ( but in the vid, it is only  half  turkish get up)

I remember when i was 7 years old, that was my first flight to Melaka for my first swimming competion .. being the innocent child i was.. i was so excited telling my mom.. Mommy, mommy look.. look at all those beautiful clouds out there.. we are flying so high that we are already reaching  heaven! Are we there mommy?? are we in heaven now?? hahahaha.. what a naive kid i was that time

So everytime we are on flight to some holiday destination, Daniel will always give in to me and let me sit at the window sit and as soon as the plane goes up high.. i would be in my own wonderland .. looking outside and be in my dreaming land.. wondering how it feels like to touch the thick fluffy clouds.. how does it feel like to sleep on the bed of clouds ( i know we can’t but it’s not wrong kan berangan- angan?) I really could admire the clouds for very very long time.. at times i can even get irritated with Daniel whenever he “disturb”me from my dream wonderland by asking sooooooo much of questions… aiseh.. sometimes macam budak kecil ni.. setiap saat ada saja questions.. tsk tsk tsk .

Sometimes i too wonder do they have live on all those small little islands that is not even recognize on our map.. how would i feel if i am very stranded there.. you know those typical crazy silly questions that runs in your head whenever you see something that’s intrigues you??

Ahh.. writing this and remembering those beautiful fluffy clouds and those beautiful islands on my way back from kuching last week gives me this warm feeling inside me tummy.. hahahahah.. i think im going crazy dy.. but im sure im not the only one have that feeling right????And that feeling of admiring the clouds and islands ?? Rrrrrrigghttttttttt???

Or memang me sot dy??

Aiseh.. kalau sia satu saja feel like that , nevermind la.. i go and check this floor tiles instead la..hmmph!

I think it was about my kuching trip ..i wanted to blog about my kuching trip… but then again . bila i think about it.. it doesn’t feel right. hmmm… duh.. benci ni bila i lost it ni.. isk!

Anyhow.. since im stuck here .. heheh.. i guess next best thing to do is to share pictures that was taken on my short weekend get away from K-hell city. It was definitely great holiday getaway for me.. it makes me feel at home..and hate coming back to kl city.. LOL! !

I love Kuching Kolo Mee but not so much of the laksa as i am not a big fan of coconut milk..so any food with coconut milk in it, it’s  a no no for me   Food in Kuching is DARNNNNNN cheap! Let me repeat that again .. DARNNN CHEAP!   One char kuey tiaw only at RM1.80!!! Yes, rm1.80!! Can you beat that?? I can’t even find that price in kk ok…murah gila ni! But i did not get to try their pineapple ( dang it!) but i heard it’s SUPERB! Ah well, maybe next time ..

Volumizing and lengthening fiber Have you tried it?

I was first introduce to this product by Mimi but not the same brand. I was introduce to Tsuya Tsuya at first.. feel in love with it almost immediately The first time i tried tsuya tsuya.. i got my right eye lashes longer and even coating than the other side of my eyes.. hahahahh but after few time applying it on i got it perfect now.

Sorry for the blurry picture.. i don’t have steady hand la.. But im sure you can see the length of my eyelash suddenly so panjang kan?

Good thing about this product is:

• It is really economical ( rm80) per bottle and can last you really really long. Like a year. I think it’s a good investment there..daripada beli fake eyelashes which will cost you roughly  rm5-rm70 and you can only use it max 5 times? Before you need to get a new pair.. and definitely way safer than extension
• Application is easy too just like applying mascara, just brush it on your lashes and coat it with mascara again to hold the fiber for both fiber application.
• It looks really really natural.
• Any mascara brand can go with this fiber. It is not necessary for you to buy their mascara.

Down side:

• It takes bit of your  morning make up time as you will need to apply mascara every time you put on the fiber. ( depending on the length that you want to achieve)
• sometimes the fall out of the fiber goes it to your eyes and it can be irritating and uncomfy.. you will need to wash your contact lens to wash the fiber fall out ( if you use contact lenses la)

So yea, i guess that’s about it for my Mircoz fiber review Till then.. see ya!

On other note : check this pond pumps out, darn cool!

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!

The event was a success i believe ( i do not know if they broke the world record or not) but looking at the crowd@ dancers i believe they did their best and happy with it

Everyone was dressed to “kill”… it’s so fun to see them dancing looking like that! Halloween was celebrated earlier this year definitely!

Anyway, if you wanna know more about this event and wanna see more pictures of the zombies. please head to facebook and search for thrill the world 2009 shah alam

and to those who wants to know how to achieved ghostly look for your upcoming Halloween party.. here’s the tips for you. It’s easy and simple and it takes around 30-1 hours to do the whole make up look! So enjoy!

You will need

• Face moisturizer – this is to prevent your skin from getting too dry from all those crazy thick make up! You definitely do not want to add another hole in your pocket just to buy another set of anti  wrinkle creams im sure
• Foundation that’s way fairer than your original skin/concealer- as your face base.
• Tissue paper – as your fake rotting skin.
• UHU GLUE – The school kid’s glue not those chapstick looking glue – this is to stick the tissue on your face. You can use latex white paint on the face to stick but that will be  costly and i do not know where we can get that here in Malaysia- latex white paint i mean.
• Corn flour- the last touch up for the skin… use this towards teh end of the process.
• eye shadow – Purple, black, chocolate, red in color – to make bloody looking scars..blackish eye.. lips … etc wherever applied.
• baby powder.- to get that white face look..but again if you have white paint.. you may not need this depending on your face paint product. If its greasy… you may need powder to set the paint on your face.

make sure your face is clean before you apply those make up on. This is the step by step process. Sorry no video .. i totally have forgotten about it .. managed to just take photo’s though..hope this will help you set your self for halloween party! good luck!

1. After cleanising your face.. put on generous amount of moisturizer on…
2. Put tonnes of foundations/ concealer or both and apply evenly on your face.
3. Set your face with baby powder.. your face should be silky smooth and super white by now
4. Apply UHU glue or other brand glue so long as it’s washable on your tissue
5. paste it on your face.. wait for it to dry out ( approximately 3 to 5 min)
6. once glue dries up… apply another layer of foundation/concealer or both on your face.. it’s ok if  your foundation/concealer touches or smeared to the tissue
7. apply powder again
8. now slowly tear some tissue of the face  – This to create the rotting/ open wound effect on the face
9. Put some red and black paint inside the “wound” and bit of brown and red on the side of the tissue…same goes to your eye rims… black, purple, red and chocolate.. this will give you the dark eye, bloody look.
10. paint your lips black and dabbed some red color on your chin for the bloody lips effect.
11. Once everything is done.. take your brush and dab the corn flour on the side of your “wound @ tissue” ..this to ensure that tissue stick firmly on your face and makes it look like your “original” skin.

That’s it peeps.. and you are set to go!

Its simple, easy and cheap.. all you need is your old make up kit or your current make up kit and walaa.. you have your ultimate halloween look!

Here’s some of Dan’s picture i took.

This was on the day itself make up.. he dressed up as evil santa clause..

And this was the night before make up. This was just a trial as i never done any halloween make up before in my whole entire life.. Not too bad huh for first timer?

Ba happy trying and Happy halloween people!

So what are you waiting for? Mari menari sama sama!!!

I love the lyrics so much, it’s so simple but so true and meaningful… enjoy the song

I’m only human, I’m just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That’s all I’m asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you’re looking below
It’s worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Have a great Monday peeps and remember take one day at a time

Totally out of topic but i need to ask juga… do you know where i can get colon cleanser? Anyone?

So far, Oct has been really nice to me.

Life has been good and kind, it’s not  always 100% rosy but i do feel like i have been blessed with lots of love, luck and guidance lately I guess being close to GOD helped me in a lot of way. Before this, i was not the nicest person to be with kalau sia mengamuk… hehehe.. yes, i flare up really easily last time.. I guess it was also because i was jobless and bills are pilling up and i have no other source of income coming in to my pocket..entah la… but hmm i don’t want to come up with loads of excuses la… rather just say that i am after all only human .. not 100% perfect

I have so much things to do in month of Oct and no its not about my wedding preparation but more about work.

As i mentioned earlier on my blog, i have my colleague down from Jakarta helping and guiding me with the whole training and examination system. I am really new in the company. Loads of things that i do not know how to do yet and without any guidance it sure is TOUGH AS CRAZY at times. Im so lost.. never felt so lost when it comes to work  ( not in the fitness industry at least) So with his present around, i get to learn a lot of stuff.. the only down side of this is .. I HAVE TO STAY BACK till 9pm in the gym . I don’t really like doing that.. but since his here.. i don’t feel right going home at 6pm while he only goes home at 10pm either…

And with him around, i have started working out again. HAHAHAH You see, last time when i was in GX department, i never bother to learn and update myself with the latest gym equipment and what latest workout there is out there ( there is nothing to do with GX anyway) but now since im in Personal Training Department  i have no choice but to love the machine, get to know the machine well and of cos..read read read and read reference book! ( which hahah..masih lagi belum sia baca habis) Kepala mau pecah at time pun ada sia rasa.

Ah.. by the end of Oct, We will be traveling again..to where you ask.. hehehe.. nanti la sia bagi tau kamu. At this moment, masih RAHSIA. Maybe sia pi buat Logistics Job Search…hahahaha…

I have so many things to do and learn all in such  short time frame. I only have a month to remember everything and start implementing  it in the club. At the moment i  have my indonesian Colleague down here for a month stay. He came down to help me with the training and examinations in celebrity fitness. Masih banyak lagi yg sia inda familiar with and im thankful that he is here to help me.

Anyway, let’s change subject. Let me entertain you with this story here. Click and read it la.. palan palan kio

P/s: Never ask a man help when you are not sure about things or tell them you don’t understand.. because you end up hearing them scream at your face more than helping you out.. ” note to emelda” bikin panas saja ada la…
