Getting Ripped for 2012! - Phase Two

2012-01-19T23:50:00.001+08:00

So, *ahem*announcer's voice* if you've just joined us, let me bring you up to date. I have been dieting since 7th December 2011. Click here to view my previous diet. And up to 15th January 2012, I have lost 6kg (from 81kg to 75kg) and my waist went from slightly over 33" (ouch) to 31.5". Plus, my shoulder-to-waist ratio improved and my legs' definition are starting to pop. Yup, long way to go, but it's progress! :D

However, I feel that my progress is starting to slow down so it's time to revamp my diet. So here it is.

Basically, the changes from the previous diet include:

1. A slight reduction of calories. To accelerate weight loss.

2. Considerable increase in fat intake.

3. Taking a full dose of 3 Magnum Heat Accelerated capsules twice daily. At first, I took 2 capsules twice daily because I was over sensitive to the effects of its stimulants. But it seems my body is ok with it now, so, time for full dose!!

4. I got rid of tuna and replaced it with chicken breast. Why? Cause I fucking hate the taste! I rather have three chicken breast meals than to consume another can of tuna (especially when I can't add any condiments with calories to it).

5. I removed the carbs in my post-workout drink.

6. Lastly, this isn't really a change. I actually did it for the last diet, but forgotten to write it down. It's about high carb days. High carb days are important because continuous low carb days can lower your body's release of leptin, which is a strong fat-burning hormone. I have my high carb day once every three days. And to make full use of it, I'll place my high carb day on my toughest training day, legs day, when the extra energy could be put to good use.

So why did I increase my fat intake by so much, remove post-workout carbs and what's with eating the high-carb meal in such a specific order? Well, I looked back at some photos of myself when I competed in Mr Kuala Lumpur 2010 (my best condition so far), and I thought, "Hey, I was pretty ripped then, despite being relatively not-so-knowledgeable compared to now(amazing how much one could learn in two years)".

So, I must have done something right during my Mr KL 2010 pre-contest diet. And yup, I did, which was to follow this guide.

Fortunately, the authors of this book (also owners of Scivation) made it free for download. Yay! Click here to download yourself a free copy! :)

For those who are too lazy to read the entire book, here is why I increase fat intake - Fat intake actually helps to slow down digestion. Thus, if you're taking it with carbs, you body will digest and absorb those carbs real slow, further reducing insulin release (your carbs should come from complex carbs sources in the first place also).

As for eating the high-carb meal in such order, again, it's to slow down digestion and insulin release. Read the book for a deeper explanation.

Now, the explanation for the removal of post-workout carbs is somewhat controversial or contradicts some bodybuilding norms. The Game Over diet states that post-workout carbs are not necessary to prevent catabolism and the spike of insulin could actually blunt the burning of fat. True or not? Well, I did lose some muscle previously on this diet, but I got my measurements wrong and actually took way less carbs than recommended. Plus, I did way too much cardio. For this time round, I guess we'll see in a few weeks if the author's theory is true or not.

Exercise wise, there's not much change at all from the previous plan. I just added more minutes to my cardio and that's pretty much it. Can't wait to see how I will look like in another 4 weeks! :D

I guess that's it. Feel free to ask me questions about my diet on Fabodylous' Facebook Fanpage. :)

Last Minute Diet Doubts

2012-01-16T23:31:00.005+08:00

What inspired me to write this post was a friend. And if you've contemplated about starting a weight loss diet, you could easily relate to her case. Here's what happened. In the beginning of this year, she is sooooo pumped up and motivated to get into top shape and look super lean. So, she told me about it, we chat, and I helped her to formulate a diet plan. She told me that she'll start on this diet in a week. Then, it struck...

She started having doubts. Mostly are, based on my experience, as real as Santa Claus or are partially real but blown out of proportion about people who had such doubts before.

"What if I stop taking supplements? I'll bloat and get fat! Many people told me that!"
"What?? I must eat like that for the rest of my life or I'll lose shape?"
"I can't eat anything else?? I'll die!"
"I have no time to prepare so many meals!"
"Dieting is so expensive!"

Most of you know that supplements (I recommended her only multivitamins, whey and fish oil to begin with) are not miracle pills which when you stop taking, their magic effects wear off. And if you're eating clean for the rest of the days, you could easily have two meals of whatever you want each week. And as for meal preparation, believe me, I find it the COMPLETE opposite. I actually find dieting very convenient because whenever it's meal time, I know what I have to eat, I don't have to choose where to eat and because I have three chicken breast meal per day, I can just cook them all at once. It's just so fucking convenient! Seriously, it's true. And here's another BIG shock about dieting being expensive - Just out of curiosity, I have calculated the cost of my food for an entire day. It amounted to S$5.75. Serious shit. You can do the math with your local prices - 450g chicken breast, 5 eggs, 100g broccoli, 100g oatmeal, 2 bananas, 1 can of tuna and 15ml of olive oil.

Now, back on the topic of diet doubts. I could see why people have such doubts. It's because FEAR is a very strong emotion. When you fear that something would happen, even if you have never seen it happening before, you would avoid it. That's the cause of so many shit stuff in this world. For example, racism. If you have a perception that people of a certain race are violent and contribute to most of the crime in your country, you might just avoid this kid in school who just introduced himself to you. He might be a filial, church-going top student in the class, yet you would still think he's a potential gangbanger.

And that's not it. The worst thing about fear is that it spreads. Look, the people around you who told you "Dieting is a torture, supplements are dangerous, exercise are harmful", are they in the shape you want to be in? They are probably in the same situation as you. Making the decision to actually embark on a diet is the HARDEST part of the diet (but after that, everything becomes a habit). They are scared to make this decision. Therefore, they propagate these myths to make themselves feel better. Do they care if it's scientifically true? Doubt so. Did they actually tried it? Nope, cause if they did, they would know how false these myths are. In fact, that is an idea! Why don't find someone who has actually gone on a strict diet and by his account, said the same things - that dieting has more cons than benefits. And he didn't feel good or proud that he has achieved something with this diet.

Now let's look on the other side. Do you want to be amongst people who look like this? Well, it's time to face the music. You NEED to put in the effort. Believe me, when the results arrive, you will have no regrets. You will be proud of the decision you've made. Your quality of life will increase. The compliments will flow in. You will get more attention. You will have more energy. People will look up to you and have more respect towards you.

So, in conclusion, especially to those who have made a resolution to lose weight this year - if you're thinking of giving up on your goal and not get that body you want, go fuck yourself in the ass! I hope you'd be happy looking at the mirror everyday thinking about what you could have looked like if you would have started on a diet. And if you're reading this and still doubting me while thinking, "It's just Wee Kiat. It's just HIS opinion", go ahead and visit Bodybuilding.com and read the tonnes of testimonials of people who have ACTUALLY dieted, been there and know what it's like instead of just listening to any Tom, Dick and Harry who, 99% of them, has never even counted a single calorie in their life!

Lastly,
DON'T GIVE UP!!

Fabodylous Photography - Christmas Time in Kuala Lumpur City

2012-01-06T01:33:00.007+08:00

Ok, so, just a warning, this post has nothing to do about bodybuilding. However, if you're a fan of photography, feel free to check it out and gimme your comments/opinions/thoughts/tips! :)

If you guys don't know it yet, I've been a big fan of photography since I got my first non-focus film camera when I was 11. And as far as I remember, my photos have been featured in a local national newspaper, The Star 15 times. Not that I was very good or anything. Just that I always had a compact camera with me everywhere I go (phone cameras weren't as good then). Damn I sound old! Anyway, in the joyous mood for holidays, a couple of friends and I decided to have an outing to capture some great shots. Location? Kuala Lumpur City, where there are plenty of Christmas decors. Enjoy!

Meet our ~~poser~~ model for the day, Melissa. :)

If you look closely, this reindeer is actually built anatomically correct. It has balls, literally.

Isn't Lay Yin adorable? :)

This is my favourite shot of the day! :D

GRRRRAAHHH!!!!

Absolutely not diet food.

Getting Ripped for 2012!

2011-12-14T04:29:00.013+08:00

So, in a post several weeks back, I mentioned that I will be dieting down to a lean and ripped body. Well, so I have. Here's the diet plan which I have been following since 7th December up to now, with a few modifications.

As we're dieting (as well as doing other things in life), we should evaluate our progress and check if what we're doing could be improved. So far, I've made two changes to my diet. I've moved up the oatmeal in meal two to meal one. That's because I feel lethargic in the morning if I don't get any carbs immediately, my mind will be foggy. Secondly, I'm moving meal five to around 8.30pm (or as soon as I get home from gym). That's because insulin and growth hormone levels in the body are inversely correlated. So, keep your insulin low before you sleep would mean high GH release at night. Lastly, I admit, I'm not the all-knowing expert on diet. So if you have an advice for me, feel free to leave it in the comments. Constructive advice is always welcomed. :)

Training
Before I started my dieting, I have set a goal for myself. How would I want to look by the end of 3 months? So, I browsed through the profiles on Bodybuilding.com and take a look at the physiques which I want to emulate. Right now, I'm aiming for more of the mainstream, male model look, like these guys.

Thus, I compared their workouts to my usual bulking workouts, here are some changes I've made.

#1 Fewer sets per body part.
#2 25 minutes cardio after certain weight training sessions.
#3 Increased frequency in ab training.

Here's how my workout programme looks like -

Day 1
Chest - 11 sets
Triceps - 9 sets
Abs - 6 sets

Day 2
Back - 12 sets
Biceps - 9 sets
Cardio - 25 min

Day 3
Shoulders - 11 sets
Abs - 6 sets
Cardio - 25 min

Day 4
Legs - 15 sets
Abs - 6 sets

Day 5
Rest

General Guidelines
Legs - 15 to 20 reps
Other Bodyparts - 10-15 reps
Last set of every exercise is a drop set.
Concentrate on slow negatives.

Comparison With Previous Cutting Plan
The previous time I dieted hard was for Mr Kuala Lumpur 2010. That time I went from 75kg to 67kg and placed second in the junior category, despite having diarrhea on the morning of the contest itself. However, I lost quite a lot of muscle then. Remember, when losing weight, you're trying to lose as much fat as possible while maintaining as much muscle mass. However, during that time, I was doing 45 minutes of cardio after my workouts and I was taking 300g of protein, 80g carbs and 30g fat, which is wayy too little carbs. And since now I'm dieting down from 80kg, with more muscle mass, I should be taking more calories to maintain it. Mood wise, I was in constant brain fog (when you feel dizzy and tired but you can't sleep because you took too little carbs) but on this diet, I only feel it once every few days.

Cheat Meals
Here's the thing about cheat meals - I don't count them as cheat meals. This is because if I do eat out or have food which isn't in my diet plan, I would make sure I cut the calories in other meals so that my macronutrients ratio and calorie intake stays about the same. Plus, it's the festive season and it's hard to resist all the good food with all my loved ones. :)

So there you go! My updated weight loss plan! Hopefully, I'll be ripped by the end of February. I'll be having a few photoshoots when I am. So stay tuned for that. ;)

In the meantime, Happy New Year everyone!! Hope every one of you had a great year and a better one ahead. Fyi, I started Fabodylous on 1st January 2010. So, this is also Fabodylous' 2nd anniversary!!

SFBF 1st Annual Singapore National Championships 2011

2011-12-08T14:35:00.009+08:00

It was a day of excitement and curiosity. Newly-founded IFBB-affiliated Singapore Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (SFBF) finally held their first of many contests to come. And they started it off with a bang. With total cash prize of S$25, 000 and pro cards being given out to overall winners of each category, the SFBF Nationals has become the local contest with the highest payout in recent years (could be of all time too, but I can't confirm that).

I was a volunteer at the Nationals, so I got the chance to take some backstage pics for you guys.

A special thanks to all sponsors of the event, which include Dynaforce, Nutrifirst, Optimum Nutrition, Tano Capital, PAA, Crossfit Fire City, Cherry Bombs Attitude Gear, Physique Athletes Association (PAA), By Brazil Sports and Stephen James Luxury Organics.

The line-up for the men's categories were great but the ones who really shined during the contest were the ladies. Never before has Singapore seen such a fantastic display of lean, well-sculpted, sexy and feminine physiques. Sorry for the poor quality of some photos here. I wasn't able to get a good seat. As for the fantastic black and white shots, credits and appreciation goes to Shirly Hamra.

After a break, we were rewarded with a special guest posing routine by former Ms Olympia, Juliette Bergman! She may be retired from competing, but she's still rock solid!

Figure competitor, Melissa Wee, had HUGE support from the crowd. Looks like someone has quite a fan base. :)

Alex Javier won the Men's Bodybuilding Under-75kg category.

Dex Ng won the Men's Bodybuilding Above-75kg category.

Makoto Goto being a gracious winner and shaking hands with his competitors after winning the Men's Classic Open Bodybuilding category.

Rowena Marcaida won the Women's Bodybuilding Open category.

Nur Farina MJ Ismail bested the longest line up of the day to win the Women's Figure Open category.

Yulia Shumakova-Catron proved that she has the most beach-worthy body by winning the Women's Bikini Fitness category.

Before the event concludes, both winners of the men's bodybuilding categories pose to winner the overall title.

And the overall winner is.... Alex Javier!!

And just before we leave, gotta have a photo with a good friend, Melissa Weeeee (Kiat).

Where Has Fabodylous Disappeared To?

2011-11-22T02:45:00.007+08:00

Hi lovable readers! Alright, so I know, it's been forever since I made a good post to really motivate you guys to bust your ass in the gym, but I've been busy, for real. I've been working hard on my other site, Passiontab because I see the potential in it being a good place for people to gather and discuss about their interests. Be sure to check it out! :)

Anyway, back to Fabodylous. I was actually thinking of shutting it down actually. Plus, I got an email from a company offering me quite a handsome amount of cash for the domain. But nah, I have future plans for Fabodylous. To bring it to the next level. *mischievous laugh* hehehe. And thanks a million to my awesome fans for keeping me going all the time. Although it may just a few words, I really reeaalllyy appreciate it when a reader tells me that I've done a good job blogging. It never ever gets old. :)

And look! I got some Youtube Awards for my Youtube Channel, Fabodylous! :D

And if you guys are wondering how I look like now, I got two words for you. Fat *boink boink* and big. :) I currently weigh 81kg and I can't wait to start cutting, which I will, with full force and focus, in December. I am satisfied with the amount of muscle I have (which is not a lot, but is enough for the look I'm aiming for) and can't wait to say hello to an old friend of mine, whom I'm not seen in a long time - my abs. :D But now, I'm just waiting for my exams to end. So stay tuned ~~for my fat pictures~~ cause you'll see a rapid transformation!

As for the matter of competing, my next competition will be Mr Kuala Lumpur 2012. This time however, I'm no more in the junior category so I have to work extra hard to keep up with the seniors. Wish me luck! Also, I'm looking forward to compete against a good friend of mine and this year's Mr KL junior under-70kg runner-up (it was a close call), Ahmad Faiz.

Here's Faiz just being ripped. Lol.

Another contest I'm attending but not competing would be the SFBF Mr Singapore, happening this 3rd December. I can't wait for it cause a few bodybuilders will be awarded IFBB Pro cards there! So far, Singapore does not have an IFBB Pro so this will be cool. Click here for more information of the event.

Also, I learnt a couple of stuff lately. Here's a list of those I can recall immediately.

#1 Gym Environment Matters
Since August, I started training at another gym. This time, it's a public gym, as opposed to a university gym. And the crowd this time is really different. The guys at my previous gym were mostly beginners and gosh, I couldn't bare to recall the number of times I saw them performing dumbbell side laterals with locked elbows. Poor joints. But now, the guys at my current gym really know what they're doing and some are pretty huge. It's great to even find some friends and even readers there! :D I feel challenged when I see other guys actually benching as much or more than me, so I'm immediately in beast mode every time I train. Plus, I get lots of advice from other experienced trainers too.

#2 Sleep Matters
This is the part of the bodybuilding equation where I usually fail - sleep. As many of you know, we don't build muscle in the gym. In the gym, we break down muscle and stimulate them so that they make recuperate and overcompensate us with extra muscle mass. Earlier in the semester, I used to sleep just as the was about to rise (yup, it was THAT bad) but now I'm taking some natural sleep aid and getting some good night time sleep. And wow, the difference in energy levels is so profound! And yes, it makes a difference to sleep early at night, as your body is primed to release growth-inducing hormones during that time.

#3 Go Heavy on Isolation Moves too

But not too heavy until your form suffers. I noticed this when I saw Johnnie Jackson and Kris Gethin's (bodybuilding.com's chief editor) training video of him performing lateral raises with really heavy weights and thought, "Hey, I usually go light on that exercise". Then the next day, I did raises with 16kg dumbbells instead of just 10kg. The soreness.... ouch.

That's it for now. A final note - I noticed that my readership barely dropped although I have been away for so long. Thanks for sticking around guys! :D

How to Get Six-Pack Abs

2011-10-02T15:58:00.004+08:00

Wondering how to get six pack abs? If so, you definitely aren’t alone. A number of people go after achieving this goal yet few ever see success in obtaining it.

What’s so hard about accomplishing the goal of getting those much-coveted six pack abs? And, what is the correct strategy to use that will actually help you move forward in your results?

Let’s take a quick peak at a few of the most important details that you need to know about how to get six pack abs.

Where Most People Go Wrong
The first thing that you need to learn if you want to see how to get six pack abs is where most people are going wrong. For many, as soon as they set the goal to get abs, they’re going to be devoting hours upon hours to performing a number of different abdominal crunches on the ab mats.They go into the gym each and every day and perform a good 30 minutes at least, devoted strictly to this muscle group. Two months later, they aren’t seeing results and are feeling mighty frustrated with their rate of progress.

Where are they going wrong?
The primary reason that this won’t help you get six pack abs is because you can’t spot tone. You will not burn the fat covering the abs by performing so many crunches and as long as that fat’s present, you’ll never get the six pack abs that you desire.

So in order to actually get results, you need to focus on doing whatever you can to reduce your overall body fat level. As you do this you’ll lose that fat that’s covering the abs and move closer to really seeing the results that you’re looking for.

The Right Approach
So the better approach to learning how to get six pack abs is focusing on your diet and a proper workout program that will burn more calories and keep your metabolism on high all day long.

This means using a reduced calorie diet that’s higher in protein, lower in carbs and fats, and filled with plenty of fresh vegetables.

Wholesome, non-processed carbohydrates should come right around the workout period as this is when you most need those nutrients for physical activity. Then the rest of the day your meals should focus on the lean proteins and vegetables instead.
Once you have the diet down, then it’s time to turn the focus to your workouts. For best results, use a full body weight lifting workout program. A full body weight lifting program is going to be best for boosting your metabolic rate and making sure you burn calories for hours at a time.

In addition to that, it’s also going to stimulate the most gains in muscle strength and mass, which will further help to enhance your metabolic rate and help you move onwards.

Full body weight lifting routines are also fast on time since you only have to complete them three times per week and they usually take around 45-60 minutes to get through.

After your weight lifting program is in place, add one to two interval cardio sprint sessions to this as this is the form of cardio that tends to promote the fastest rate of fat burning and you’ll be all set.

So there you have the real truth about how to get six pack abs. If you stay committed and use the right program and diet design, this goal can be yours. Remember that getting six pack abs won’t happen overnight however, so be sure that you’re staying committed and having patience as you go about this goal.

Mr Olympia 2011 Predictions

Here's my predictions of who will be in the top six of the Mr Olympia 2011. What do you think? Agreeable? This is of course, predictions so don't put ya bets on it.

#6 Dexter Jackson

This is a pretty low prediction for the 2008 Mr Olympia but I see it possibly happening based on the condition he came in for the contests he joined earlier this year. Plus, age is really catching up with him. He's 42 years old now guys. No shame, of course. He's been Mr Olympia and has already written his name in the history books. He can sit back and enjoy life now, but he chose otherwise.

#5 Victor Martinez

It's great to see the Dominican Dominator getting back on his feet after his injury, death of his mother, etc. And I'm not sure if it's just theatricals or reality but his training videos have been showing him really struggling through his programme. Anyway, since he did not compete for the entire year, it's hard to gauge his progress. But taking the whole year off is most of the time a good thing cause the athlete would have a longer off-season. Thus, I think Victor will improve on his previous 7th place Olympia finish.

#4 Dennis Wolf

Dennis is now on the right track after a setback few years back due to mismatches with training gurus. And he even got 2nd at the Arnold Classic recently in stellar form, beating Victor Martinez and Dexter Jackson. So I think he could do it again. But maybe the big three guys might be too much for him to beat. But he's still young in this sport, so plenty is to hope for in Dennis for future Mr Olympias.

#3 Phil Heath

K,so now this is the hard part. The top three guys each have a legit chance of winning. I actually think that Jay will win cause he has the size and pre-contest photos show that he's in very good shape. So between Phil and Kai, I choose Kai to be ahead. Yea, I'm biased, but I'm rooting for Kai. But the final decision will be close, cause pre-contest photos have shown that Phil is now bigger and Kai is just as big and shredded with a smaller waist. Gah! It's so hard to choose. Anyway, hope all three Jay, Phil and Kai show up in top shape for the best Olympia yet!

#2 Kai Greene

#1 Jay Cutler

Mr Olympia 2011 Pictures

Samsung Galaxy S2 vs the World Challenge - Part One

2011-09-11T01:55:00.009+08:00

Hey guys! In conjunction with the launch of their latest and most advanced phone to date, the Galaxy S2, Samsung is having the most daring product review challenge ever.

What is the challenge about? I shall let Allan Wu tease you a lil about it.

Well, if it's not clear enough for ya, lemme explain.

4 contestants aka "Test Force" will compete in

5 challenges and the one with the most aggregate points at the end of it will win

S$10 000.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, meet the Galaxy S2 vs the World Test Force! And yes, my hair got messed up on the way to the studio. -_-" And I was kinda-in-a-way forced to flex my biceps. Hahaha.

So, as four of us will need to use the phone during our challenges, each of us are given a Samsung Galaxy S2!! YAYYY!!!

Want a phone review from me? Well, since I'm no gadget geek, I'll just compare it to the phone I previously used - the iPhone 4.

Compared to iPhone 4, the S2 has...

a wayyy bigger screen, much better cameras (both front and back), a more customizable operating system (being an Android), much thinner and slicker body, and lastly, a much faster processor. In fact, the S2 has a dual core processor in it. I'm like, OMG, dual core in a PHONE?? Ten years ago, it's amazing that we could have it on desktop computers. Improvement points could be its battery life, which is pretty short. For a better review compared to my retarded one, Google "Samsung Galaxy S2"!

Alright, back to the challenge now. Honestly, I'm kinda late in posting this up and challenge 2 is already completed. Thus, I'll be covering both challenges in this post.

Challenge #1: Uncharted

Lol at Christine's comment about men and women. Oh well, but gotta admit it, the ladies did better than the men during this round. And OMG!! I can't believe I lost to Casey by just 7 seconds! :( Anyway, it's just the first challenge. I MUST stay positive and chase up in the other 4 challenges!

Here are some photos from the Segway challenge day.

Shaun looking pretty epic.

Traffic around Vivocity was a killer. Took us 20 minutes to get from Vivo to Sentosa, which are like, practically beside each other.

So what do we do? PicturessS!! Fyi, most of the photos here are taken with the Galaxy S2's super clear 8-megapixel camera.

The segway was sooooooo slow!!! Irritatingly slow! The segway can actually reach amazingly fast and fun speeds (up to 40km/h, if I recall correctly) but for this challenge, they had to cap it at 10km/h for safety's sake. And thank God they did. Casey actually underestimated the space between two poles, tried to go between them, failed and fell. Lol. Casey's uninjured and still cheery, just fyi.

Loria making Rackwell as pretty as possible before the challenge.

^^v

All suited up and ready for action!

Casey and her torn shoe. Keep note of this. Something funny is gonna happen during challenge 3! :D

And here are the three photos I've taken during the challenge. Notice how clear the front camera of the Galaxy S2 is. Crazy clear for a front cam!

Since each member of the Test Force took about 30 minutes for their turn, we spent more than 2 hours under the hot sun!

And expectedly, AHHH!! I got sunburnt! :(

Yeeeouuch!

And so, the score tally after Challenge #1 is

Christine - 10 points
Casey - 8 points
Wee Kiat - 6 points
Rackwell - 4 points

Good job Christine! But oh uh for me. :(

Challenge #2: GS Race

Before you watch the video, it would be less confusing if you remember who controlled which car.

Rackwell - White
Casey - Red
Me - Black
Christine - Silver

Woots! The boys chased up after this event and I'm back in the running to win $10 000! And LOL again at Christine's comment at men's driving skills at the end of the video. Hahaha.

Anyway, here are pics from the event!

Up close, the cars actually look real...

... until you compare them with their surroundings.

The crew setting up the cars, phones and Galaxy Tabs.

From left to right: Breakfast, lunch, dinner and me. Hehe. Joking! Joking! *burp* Oops! :D

Introducing...

Christine "The Woman in Charge" Ng!

OMG. Even mafia bosses would be afraid of her. Lol.

Err.. Casey... Nevermind.

The warriors before the battle.

Me bringing home the victory!

Casey still getting used to the controls. Lol.

The emcee of the day, Alson and I.

Thank you to team Taroda for helping out and being patient with us noobs during the race and practice sessions. Lol.

And after challenge #2, the score tally is

Wee Kiat - 16 points
Christine - 16 points
Casey - 12 points
Rackwell - 12 points

So that's it for challenge one and two. Stay tuned for the three other challenges!

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 6

2011-09-09T02:11:00.007+08:00

Hello my awesomest readers!! I'm glad you're reading this cause I've been spending loads of time editing the photos for this post. And believe me, the photos are AWESOME!! But not as awesome as the actual experience of taking a tour around Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. However, I'll try my best to bring these photos to life for you. So come, let's discover Kathmandu! :)

Nom nom nom nom nom. The day started with a huge breakfast for me. Lotsa bacon, salami, eggs, muesli and cinnamon yoghurt for me! Nom nom nom nom.

After breakfast, it's time for the city visit. First stop is a Hindu temple, Pashupatinath temple.

A rather emo message we saw on the rear of a bus.

Upon arriving at the temple, look what we found growing at the sidewalk.

Marijuana!

Nope, no smoking weed going on today. Just a lil fun taking photos with the "herb".

Upon stepping into the temple grounds, traditionally worshipers would ring this bell to inform the gods of their arrival and to chase away evil spirits.

Ever complained about your tiny room or apartment? This simple shades are "rooms" to the saints or shadus living on the temple grounds.

Beside the Bagmati river, funeral rituals were underway. Here, a body is being cremated. It is believed that when a body is burnt, it goes back to the earth as the five elements of nature - earth, water, fire, air and void.

These rock objects are called "Lingam-Yoni" and they represent the male and female reproductive energy.

These shrines are built to be as perfectly in a straight line as possible. So you can actually look through the window of a shrine at one end and see the other shrines!

Helloo cuuttiiee!! Say MOOOOOOO!!

Some adult literature up for sale.

After visiting the Pashupatinath Hindu temple, we went to the Swayambhunath Buddhist temple. During the ride there, we saw a protest going on.

The transportation system in Kathmandu is very unorientated, messy and inefficient. They don't have traffic lights even at main junctions, roads are mostly dirt roads, and pedestrians, vehicles, bikes and cows are all mixed up in the streets.

O look! A Malaysian car - Perodua! Go Malaysia!!

And another Malaysian car! Proton!

This pond is something like a wishing pond but with a challenge. If your coin lands in the bowl, your wish will come true! Our tour guide got his coin in! I wonder what he wished for...

Judy getting some rest and me with the wound from fainting face first on the door few days ago. Right now we're on our way to Boudhanath stupa, another holy site in Kathmandu.

Lunch was at an al fresco restaurant. Over there, we chat about the Nepali culture and economy. Turns out the average income per month for a working adult here is only about US$100!! :( So anyone planning to start out a labour-intensive factory or production company, consider Nepal! :D

We were brought into a special shop where they sell traditional paintings with intricate details.

These paintings depicts the plan view of a stupa. Each painting is rated Beginner, Intermediate or Master, based on how detailed the drawings are. Each painting take several hours of dedicated focus to complete.

Disneyland and Burberry? Looks legit. :D

The shops here have very descriptive names.

After our tour, we head to Rum Doodle restaurant for dinner. It's a restaurant of 40'000 feet.

No, like seriously, feet.

Among the lovely feet design hanging all around the restaurant.

The portions served at Rum Doodle are huge!! This is what Judy ordered. Unfortunately for her, it's super spicy so she couldn't even finish half of it! Haha.

As for me, it's the best muscle-builder in the world - beef!

And here's our foot!

Here's the last photo with Emma cause she's flying back to Denmark tonight. :(

And before the night ends, we hung out at this super cool and popular reggae bar!

And that's it, folks! This is the last post for the Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg series! I hope you enjoyed it! And most of all, I hope that you guys appreciate the efforts of Carlsberg in cleaning up one of our world's heritage sites. If you've missed the previous Saving Mt Everest posts, just go to the Blog Archive section on the right panel and scroll to May/June 2011.

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 5

2011-08-24T16:23:00.013+08:00

Day 5 of the saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg. Today, we're going back to Kathmandu, where we will spend the last of our days in Nepal.

So this is goodbye to the snow-capped mountains, to the thin air, to the breath-taking view. Mmm... Sigh.

Oh, look at this. Could you guess what is it? Yes, it's our airstrip, short, rocky and there's a cliff at the end of it. 0.0 *gulp*

And our plane has arrived!

And as you can see, we're all excited about going back to lower grounds. The plane had to shuttle back and forth thrice cause it carries only six person.

Oh look! The plane brought supplies! What essential good did they bring this time? Why it's beer! :D

Tornado punch!

Sigh. Aside from the altitude sickness, I'm gonna miss the mountains.

That tiny plane brought us back to Lukla. From there, we wait in a pink room for a bigger plane to bring us back to Kathmandu. It took awhile cause of the bad weather.

Look at this plane! It's currently being fixed. Wanna know what happened to it? A noob piloted it into the wall in front of it now. -_-''

Finally!! Back at Kathmandu and back at Dwarika's Hotel!

I <3 my room number. :)

Today we don't feel like doing anything. Nothing at all. Doo doo doo doo...

Seriously, three days of hiking took a lot from our body. A whole day's worth of sleep is what we need.

But first, more SUSHI!!!

And for dinner, we went to a fine dining restaurant which serves local cuisine. Looks pretty good from the outside actually.

Yay! Meat! I loved the food but phew, it's SPIICCYY!! I drank about 2 litres of water just to wash away the spiciness. Lol.

Team Carlsberg spent the rest of the night in fellowship, chatting and laughing our hearts out.

In the end, it's time to go back and have a good rest. Oh, if your city has problems with stray cats/dogs, well, be thankful. At least you don't have stray cows. Lol.

Finally, the Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg series is coming to an end. Stay tuned for Day 6's post cause it will the most interesting post of all! On Day 6, we'll be taking a city tour around Kathmandu! And believe me, the sights and cultural experience is an experience one will never forget.

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 4

2011-08-21T10:57:00.008+08:00

Hi peeps, it's been awhile since I've updated my blog, but I'm back. Now I know that the Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg event happened a few months back, but I feel bad for leaving my full report on it hanging in the air. So here's what happened on day four.

Namche with the Kongde Ri peak in the background.

It was a realllyyyy cold morning when I woke up. Of course it is. After all, we're at 3440m above sea level. I was feeling horribly nauseous and out of breath. And the dreams I had weren't the ones I would want to remember. So, first thing I did when I woke up was to pee. And as soon as I'm done, suddenly, the world became a blur and I started to lose my consciousness. First thing in my mind, "Get back to the bed!" but as soon as I open the toilet door, I passed out... BAMM!! With my face slammed right to the corner of the door. For the next few days, I look like this...

Sigh. -_-''

Anyway, down at the lodge's restaurant, I met up with the rest of team Carlsberg and it seems that things went a lot worse for most of them. Some vomited. Many had bad dreams. A few of the ladies were crying. :(

Today's itinerary includes a hike to Syanboche for lunch and then all the way up to Everest View Hotel, 3880m above sea level!

But first, a few of us decided to take a detour to a mini museum between Namche and Syanboche.

And look! What a huge coincidence! I met someone else from NUS too!! LOL!!

Photos of people who has summited Mt Everest. When we asked our Sherpa how does a person get his photo up on the wall, he said, "First you need to summit Mt Everest, then you need to submit your photo."

OMG!! It's a yeti skull! Could yetis really exist??

A photo of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, the first two persons to summit Mt Everest.

A bust of Sir Edmund Hillary.

After the museum trip, we continued trekking towards Syanboche.

Those colourful flags you see were not hung just for fun but for good luck.

Emma, again, was way ahead of us slowpokes, up to the point where she has to sit on top of the hill and wait for us to catch up. :( So what do people do when they are bored?

Take photos of themselves!

She looks pretty epic in the second one, honestly.

So after that we had our lunch at Syanboche. Same ol' high carbs, low protein diet. Sigh. And waited for like, almost an hour for our food.

And it's all the way to Everest View Hotel!

Finally! We've arrived! Yea, that's the hotel behind the trees.

A drink (non-alcoholic cause that would be dangerous at this height, unfortunately) and some celebration for ~~surviving~~ reaching the peak of our journey!

The hotel isn't bad, compared to most of the lodges we stayed at along our trekking journey. It's pretty 3-star-ish and it has heating and proper bathroom with a working hot shower... finally! I had the most euphoric and relaxing hot shower EVER!! And no, there will be no pictures of me showering in this post. -_-''

After shower it's time to ~~chill~~ get some heat with the gang.

Oh look! Facebook and Internet at 3880m above sea level! My gosh, technology these days.

For dinner, it was fine dining with plenty of meat and protein. Yay! This dinner marks the end of our trek and we'll be heading back to Kathmandu tomorrow.

U jelly?

Alright, I know this post is kinda boring cause we didn't do much on this day. Anyway, the following posts will be more interesting as we're gonna head back down to Kathmandu, visit places and learn about the local culture. And my dear Malaysians/Singaporeans/readers from developed countries, believe me, the lifestyle here will shock your socks off.

The Most Unique and Interactive Forum on the Net!

2011-08-03T17:17:00.018+08:00

If you are a frequent visitor of this blog, I guess it's safe to say that you're interested in gaining free knowledge about bodybuilding, dieting, training and stay updated with events.

Well, I love to learning about new stuff too (and for free), especially stuff that will help me live my life better and happier. And one of the ways I love doing so is via online forums. On forums, anyone can ask or answer anything. And if you have anything interesting to share, you could even start a thread about it! Topics are updated super frequently and many people could simultaneously participate in a thread too. Best of all, you could even get to know people who love the same things as you do on forums!

However, there are some problems with forums which are pretty obvious. Mainly, forums are very very wordy and it is easy to get lost in the massive amounts of threads and sections. In addition, currently I'm a member of six forums because I couldn't find one forum which covers the all the topics I want to talk about. Hmm... If only there was one which could satisfy all my forum-ing needs.

But now there's a forum which could give you all the benefits of a regular forum without the cons. :)

Introducing Passiontab.com! - a forum with a difference.

And when I say that this forum is unique from any other forum you can find on the Internet, I mean it's worlds apart.

Here's a screenshot of how the sections list looks like:

Looks more like an iPhone homepage than a typical forum homepage, doesn't it? :)
This format is so much easier to the eyes (cause it's less wordy) and makes browsing so much more convenient!

Other than the visual uniqueness, Passiontab will have hundreds thousands of sections, covering everything from cars, music to even, who knows... animal fur dye-ing? Lol.

So if there's a passion you're really interested in and would want to meet other people like you, you'll find them on Passiontab!

Now, to those who already has experience in forums, don't you just hate it when you post in a thread and lose your conversation cause you don't know who is replying to you? Well, how about a simple solution to that problem - quote alerts. When someone quotes you, you'll get a notification and if you quote the person back, he'll be notified too! Problem solved! Awesome, right?!

Last but not least, if you're good at something, wouldn't you like to be paid to chat about it? Passiontab is looking for experts in as many fields as possible. If you have loads of knowledge and experience in a sport, subject or industry, sign up with Passiontab, click on the Passiontab Experts link and submit your resume! Once you've become a Passiontab Expert, sponsors will be out looking for you to endorse their brand. Make money from discussing what you love? Hmm.. Why not? :)

So, if you're already an avid forum user wanting to try out a all-new unique interface or a what-the-hell-is-a-forum kinda guy, give Passiontab a try and open up a whole new online experience for yourself. However, Passiontab isn't launched yet. For now, like the Passiontab Facebook page and you will be informed as soon as it's up and running!

Time for a Break

Hi guys,

It's been awhile since I've posted anything up on Fabodylous. That's because I'm concentrating on another project which will be launched soon. In the meantime, if you're bored or anything, feel free to say hi or ask questions on the Fabodylous Facebook fan page.

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 3

2011-06-19T01:46:00.015+08:00

Day 3, 8.30am. It started with a freezing cold morning for some of us. It probably wasn't super cold, perhaps 10 degrees, but hey, I'm from South East Asia, and it's hot everyday there.

After we kissed the lodge owner's kid goodbye, got our rubbish bags and took a group photo together, it's time to trek. And starting today, it's all uphill! *gasp!*

Good news to some of you and to the dismay of others, this post will comprise of mostly photos and just a few words. There's barely anything done other than trekking and collecting rubbish. But of course, the scenery is awesome along the way!

Samuel (Singapore) may be a Carlsberg staff, but he certainly can't get enough of Sprite, which he orders with every meal.

June (Singapore) showing us that cleaning up the environment is a happy job to do.

Emma jokes, "That's our competitor! *points*". Lol.

Mini rainbow!

The following ingredients make the perfect recipe to fatigue one's entire body - Miles of uphill climb, uneven rocks that hurt your feet after hundreds of steps, cold temperature and thin air. Yup, and we have every one of those ingredients today.

I don't get it. Why do they have so many calculators up for sale? What is there to calculate?

Yaks are essential creatures on the mountains. They provide meat, milk, clothing and transportation of goods for the locals. Plus, they are wonderful at multi-tasking. I mean, come on, they could carry heavy goods, travel for miles on the rocky roads and poop along the whole journey! Could YOU do THAT?? I guess not.

Lunch at Jasalle at 11.30am.

After lunch, Judy (Hong Kong) and I joined Sanjeev (Nepal) and Emma (Sweden) during the hike. But both of them were so tough and fast that Judy and I had no chance of catching up with them!

Emma towering over Judy.

Playing "poster boy" again for Carlsberg again.

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!!!

Along the way, Judy and I met this Bangladeshi doctor who has reached the summit of 32 mountains. And today, he's climbing Mt Everest. Oh, did I mention that he's 70 years old and that bag he's carrying is approximately 30kg? And he overtook us. -_-''

After hours of walking, our destination, Namche is in sight. Just another half and hour to go. Before that, we stop to take more photos of the scenery and with locals.

Samuel spreading the love.

Isn't the place just awesome?

We stayed at Khumbu Lodge for the night. During dinnertime, some people felt sick due to the altitude. I felt good, but I pity the people who don't. Most of the ladies and a guy or two were sick. Emma, the Swedish Superwoman felt great, of course.

After dinner, the guys decided to chill at the lounge, told jokes and played bar games and I got a much needed foot massage!

You might have seen dozens of beautiful and scenic photos in this post. But there are hundreds more on the Fabodylous Facebook Fanpage! Just click here, like our page and have a look at other great photos taken at Nepal.

And I promise Day 4 will be coming soon! :)

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 2

2011-06-06T19:29:00.007+08:00

21st May 2011 - As with most days from now onwards, we started our day very early - with 5.30am wake up call. Today, the trekking and rubbish collecting process starts and it begins with a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla, 2860m above sea level.

Our plane. It's tiny, noisy and pretty scary, but it's the perfect plane for where we're about to land.

Having some fun in the plane.

Goodbye, Kathmandu!

The view over the Himalayas from the plane was breath-taking, to say the least. It's serene, with a certain feeling of zen. It's moments like these when you start to think about God and the creation of the Earth and mankind.

If I were Superman, I'd come here and fly around the mountains, just to escape from reality and to release the weight of the world from my shoulders.

And we're here in Tenzing-Hillary Airport aka Lukla Airport! The airport was renamed in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, the first persons to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Here is why the little plane we took is good for the job of bringing us here. Look at the runway. It's only 460m long and at the end of it is a steep 610m drop into the valley below. *Gulp!* No space for error there.

Before we start trekking, it's time for breakfast.

Oh, by the way, if any of you plan to go to the Himalayas, remember one thing - always order in advance, if you have the number of the restaurant/lodge you're eating at. That's because it's a norm there that you wait for over an hour for your food! It may be the fact that food cooks slower at that height, local culture or that the restaurants always cook every dish before they serve them.

My breakfast - fried rice with yak meat.

After breakfast, we got our tongs and rubbish bags, took a few photos and we're ready to go!

Freda (Malaysia).

The locals' choice! :)

Right when we were leaving Lukla...

OMG!!

Either Starbucks has a very extensive franchising program, or someone's gonna get a copyright infringement lawsuit very soon.

Judy (Hong Kong) and local kids.

A look into the life of the local kids...

and adults...

Judy says, "Rubbish on Mt Everest trek, we're gonna get you!" Hehe. :D

Despite most of the trekking today is downhill, it's still tough. And the bad news is, from tomorrow onwards, we'll be trekking uphill. Sigh.

The view is stunning.

After slightly more than half an hour or so of trekking, we took a short break. Yes, half an hour of trekking was enough to build up the lactic acid in our legs and back.

Judy (Hong Kong), Samuel, Ziyi (Singapore) and Faisal (India).

And the rubbish-collecting process starts!

Emma (Sweden)

June (Singapore)

Most of the trekking path and buildings here are made out of rocks. That's really impressive because construction using rocks is a lot tougher than using bricks. Imagine having to hammer every rock into shape instead of baking bricks. And it's a lot heavier too.

We stopped by an empty plain and started cleaning it up.

"Litter, you are TERMINATED!"

The common places rubbish is littered are bushes and in between rocks.

The bag of rubbish is bigger than Judy!

Team Carlsberg posing with our "harvest" for the day.

<3

Ramanan (Malaysia) with two local kids.

And because my dear friend, Marcus Fam requested it...

Wallah! :)

Carlsberg poster boy.

"By evening, comrades, we shall all be THERE!" Trololol.

FYI, Emma is around 5'10" and she's so much tougher compare to everyone else (perhaps except the sherpas). The trek to her was just like a walk in the garden. Gotta envy Swedish genes! Too bad I don't have any. -_-''

Everyone, meet Carlie (can you guess why we name him Carlie?). He followed us since we were cleaning up the plains all the way to our lunch place and all the way to our lodge for the night. Seriously! All the way! What a nice doggie to accompany us. :)

He's quite a poser too. When he sensed the camera...

He striked a pose! Not a front double biceps, of course.

Hehe.

Tiki man!

Finally, after 3 hours of hiking, we reached our destination for lunch!

Everyone was super tired after just 3 hours of mostly downhill hiking. So after ordering our food, we just crash while waiting for the food to come, which took more than an hour, of course. Zzz...

Even Carlie dozed off.

And finally, lunch is here! It's fried rice again. High carbs, low protein again, unfortunately.

After lunch, we're back on the road.

Throughout the hike, spinning instruments like these are spotted many times. They are called mane (mah-neh) and according to the local religion, by spinning them, you're cleansing your soul.

Love the Crocs, lil girl!

After another few hours of trekking, our lodge is in sight!

Finally, we get to rest for the day. It was a tough experience and all of us were looking forward to empty our rubbish bags, sit down, have a drink and share our experiences today.

Even Carlie was exhausted.

Our rooms, unlike the ones in Kathmandu, is humble and simple. Nothing more than a lightbulb, two beds, old sheets and wooden walls.

While waiting for dinner (which yes, took more than an hour to come), Judy and I played with the lodge owner's daughter. Isn't she cute... and tiny?

And what cooler thing to do than to...

Introduce the iPhone to her!! There she goes, playing Doodle Jump on Judy's iPhone.

After dinner it's time to sleep. Tomorrow we will be hiking mostly uphill! *GASP!*

You might have seen dozens of beautiful and scenic photos in this post. But there are hundreds more on the Fabodylous Facebook Fanpage! Just click here, like our page and have a look at other great photos taken at Nepal.

Saving Mt Everest with Carlsberg - Day 1

2011-05-30T17:58:00.012+08:00

The most eye-opening trip of my life starts here. 8am at Changi Airport, Singapore. For those who are wondering what's with me going to Nepal and what does Carlsberg has to do with it, click here. On the first day of the trip, nothing much went on. We were just being welcomed by the local Carlsberg representative and briefed on the plan to clean up the trekking path to Mt Everest. Check out the photos!

Team Singapore high in spirit and ready to make a great change in the environment. From left to right: Samuel, June, me, Deva and Ziyi.

O yea! Sushi for breakfast! My favourite! Nom nom nom nom.

Dear Sakae Sushi, if any one of you are reading this, please sponsor me. All I want is free sushi for as long as we're contracted! Nom nom nom nom!

Finally on the plane! Kudos to Silkair for providing a great service for us! And cheers for Carlsberg and their dedication to clean up the environment!

Mmmm... Yummy!

The mountainous terrain of Nepal. Can't believe that in the next few days, we'll be trekking along these mountains.

The view over Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.

At Kathmandu airport, we met up with Team Malaysia, which consists of (left most) Freda, BFM89.9 radio DJ and Carlsberg staff Jayde and Ramanan (fourth and third from the right).

When we were in the van heading towards our hotel, I got a glimpse of the Nepalese culture, and it was a culture shock, for sure. People were crossing the streets randomly, oblivious of the cars. There were no tar roads, only dirt. Rubbish were littered everywhere. And vehicles drove centimetres apart from each other. I'll talk more on the Nepalese culture in later posts. For now, let's move on to our preparation to trek towards Mt Everest.

Fitting into the local culture.

Our hotel for the night, Dwarika's Hotel is beautiful. The design simply exudes the beauty of the Nepali culture and tradition.

Her name is Silky. :)

My room!

After checking into our rooms, it's time for lunch. Guess what's for lunch?

Hehe. What else did you expect?

After lunch, it's time to get down to business. Wongchu Sherpa, president of the Everest Summiteers Association (ESA), explains to us the effects of littering done by trekkers since the 70s until now and what's our plan to reverse this trend. If you're thinking, "How much rubbish could twelve people possibly collect?", think again. Our group is just a fraction of the manpower ESA/Carlsberg has sent to clean up Mt Everest. We might have collected kilograms of rubbish, but the rest of participants have collected TONNES. Click here to read the ESA's report on the rest of the cleaning up process!

June and Samuel displaying our outfits for the rest of our trekking journey.

After the briefing, we were treated with a special welcome dinner at a building that used to be a king's palace.

The spices and condiments bazaar outside the restaurant.

We were greeted the traditional Nepalese way.

This reminds me of the Malaysian "teh tarik". Haha.

The beverage for the night is Gorkha beer, which is Carlsberg's local Nepalese brew.

Potatoes.

Now this is called "momos". It's like Chinese dim sum but the content of the wrap has either meat or veggies in it seasoned with Indian spices, giving it a more Indian-ish taste.

Local Nepali cuisine.

Our entertainment for the night. The performances were pretty good. Especially the cheeky performance with a storyline of a guy checking out other girls while his spouse wasn't looking and she had to pinch his ears to get him back on track. The male dancer literally hugged Freda during the performance!

After our welcome dinner, we head back to our hotel and had an early sleep. Tomorrow will be a big day as we fly to the mountains and begin our trekking and rubbish collecting journey. So keep checking back for updates. The view and experience is magnificent and I'm pretty sure you won't want to miss it!

Everest So Far

2011-05-23T02:07:00.002+08:00

Hey guys, sorry I'm not able to update you on the day-to-day activities of Team Carlsberg's cleaning up expedition at Mt Everest. Internet here (right now in Namche) is expensive and pretty slow. However, believe me, the photos we've taken are awesome and we've done quite a lot cleaning up the trekking road to the famous mountain. When I'm back in Singapore/Kuala Lumpur, expect many stories of adventure, beautiful scenic views, perseverance, super classy hotels, super dingy lodges, funny team members, super long trekking journeys and even stories about some interesting people we've met along our trek.

For now, like us on Facebook for mini updates!

Carlsberg Doing The Right Thing Campaign Launch

2011-05-19T02:08:00.008+08:00

Hey guys! Guess what?

I'm going to Mt Everest!

"What for?", I hear you ask. And the answer is to...

pick up rubbish.. -_-''

But seriously, it's for a good reason. Carlsberg has embarked on a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme to clean up Mt Everest, which happens to be one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites.

So why clean up Mt Everest? Firstly, the enormous increase in visitors to the Everest region has caused more and more rubbish to be littered on the beautiful mountain. And to make it worse, the tourist spot does not have a organized functioning waste management system!

Team Singapore will be represented by five "Heroes" (that's what they call us! Lol!), which comprises of (left to right) Miss Singapore SEA and FHM model, Kuek Ziyi; a fair guy who really needs a tan; Carlsberg staff June Lee; Woody (standing in for his colleague, Deva from Communications DNA) and Carlsberg staff Samuel Chen.

The launch of the Carlsberg Doing the Right Thing Campaign was held at Carlsberg's 1847 Bar @ The Heeren, Singapore. During the unveiling ceremony, the five Heroes were presented with their air tickets and $800 travelling allowance by Anto Setiadi, Head of Marketing for Carlsberg Singapore.

We'll be flying off to Nepal on 20th May and returning on 27th May. In between those dates, I'll try my best to update you guys with photos and stories of what happened at 3000m above sea level! In the meantime, why don't you guys click here and join Fabodylous' Facebook page to get updates of this adventure?

Check out the rest of the photos from the event!

Ok Zi, here's a proper photo for you.

And for me! :)

Zi and I.

Check out the interview! I was a lil nervous, k? So forgive me if I sound himbotic.

Oh, and noticed the wall behind us? It's the Doing the Right Thing Wall and all the decision trees up on the wall are written by customers. There are some which are pretty funny actually.

Someone's feeling very confident.

LOL!

So, I hear you ask, isn't beer bad for muscle gains? Yes, it is. But I agree with this saying I once heard, "Bodybuilding is just one great aspect of life". So most of the time, I'll be spending my time training and eat a high-protein diet. But when I'm with friends and we're at a bar, it's time to pop the bottles, fill those glasses and have fun! Woots! After all, that day was a

FRIDAY FRIDAY!! GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY!! :D

P.s. Just don't overdo it.

Thanks (left to right) Yifeng, Jonathan, Max, Weiyun, Jess, Mai, Eugene, Jaclyn, Sean and Edwin (Sean and Edwin not pictured) for coming and partying with us!

And happy birthday Weiyun!

I kinda pity the live performer that night. The weather was so hot and he was drenched in his own sweat!

And here's the result!

Lol! Here's a better one of both of us. And yea, I really need a tan.

Gotta love Hans' hairdo!

Anyway, aside from the launch party, Ziyi and I had to attend a meeting at Carlsberg Singapore's office. They have a fridge stocked with every single beer Carlsberg makes! And I bet there's no other office that allows you to bring a bottle of beer into meetings! Lol! Carlsberg's office is so cool!

Mr Singapore 2011 Results, Photos and Review - Part Two

2011-05-12T05:08:00.011+08:00

If you were impressed by the physiques you saw in part one of the Mr Singapore 2011 report, get ready for the big guys!

First, let's start off this post with the ladies...

Women's Physique Above-160cm

1st Nur Farina Binte Mj Ismail

2nd Nonie Fatimah Rennison

3rd Natalia Lukashevich

4th Ursula Pong

5th June Alison Yen

Farina, Nonie and Natalia were a definite top three in this category. Farina in particular, stole the stage with a flawless physique, with great curves, feminine muscles, nice abs and a cute smile. Nonie was lean but wasn't as curvy as Farina and had the bigger waist.

Natalia was very very lean but OMG, the moment I saw her onstage, I was worried if she's healthy. She had the anorexic look and her ribs could be clearly seen. She nailed her conditioning but should work on increasing lean mass.

To all mummies out there (not the Egyptian kind), Ursula is a mommy too of a young daughter. So if you think that you can't get in shape after your pregnancy, think again!

Men's Senior Under-75kg

1st Shaifulhaq Bin Ahmad Ishak

2nd Shukor Mat

3rd Shahanizar Bin Johar

4th Keith Wong

5th Dollah Jaafar

Two reasons why Shaiful won this category - legs and back (and conditioning too). Shaiful was a shoo-in for this category as soon as he stepped on stage. He owns the largest and most defined pair of legs for the entire day and had the freakiest back too. When preparing for a back double biceps, Shaiful would first tense his back and the crowd will react in awe before he spread those wings and shock the crowd again with his superbly detailed David Henry-ish back.

After Shaiful, it's a battle for second place between Shukor and Shah. Shukor won that battle with better-popped and well-filled muscles, which made him look a lot bigger than Shah. Perhaps the loud "GRRRR!!!" when he's hitting the most muscular pose made him seem more dominant too. Shah had great conditioning and the most striated chest onstage that day. But he was flat and had the thin look compared to the other guys in his category, even including those who placed lower than him.

Great job to Dollah Jaafar who showed that bodybuilding could effectively fight the signs of age and to Keith Wong, who balanced his examinations, which were right before Mr Singapore and his contest prep.

Men's Senior Under-80kg

1st Leong Kai En

2nd Ma Yong Kang

3rd Ray Yeo

Kai En won because among the three athletes in this category, he was the only one with the densed, ripped look. He has a very balanced physique which no body parts really stands out or sinks in. The only weakness he might have is that his body looks lengthy and needs to be filled out but hey, he's tall and I don't think he has any complains about that.

Congrats to Ma Yong Kang too, for improving on his conditioning a lot since his last competition, Muscle Explosion 2010. Ray on the other hand, looked flat and tired.

Men's Senior Under-85kg

1st Adrian Tan

2nd Roy Yeo

3rd Mohamad Naseer B Mohd Shariff

4th Mohamed Faris Bin Mohamed Said

One of the biggest buzz of this event was the news that 2006 Mr Singapore, Adrian Tan will be making a comeback and OMG, what a comeback it is! I've not seen Adrian competed in person before but from the videos I've seen, Adrian has made loads of improvements since 2006. He is the widest guy onstage for the day. So wide in fact, that his middle delts pops out more than most competitors' biceps. I remember when I met Adrian at his gym, our shoulders bumped into each other several times. How does this guy walk through doors??

Anyway, enough of his shoulders. Adrian had spot-on conditioning and the best calves on stage too. The only apparent weakness he had was the lack of sweep in his quads, which looked kinda thin onstage.

If you guys thought that you've saw the same guy onstage twice in two different weight categories, think again. This category's runner-up, Roy Yeo is the twin brother of the Under-80kg 2nd runner-up, Ray Yeo. It's amazing to see how bodybuilding can change the way two people look, even with the exact same genetic make-up. For the Yeos, Roy was bigger and fuller onstage than his bro. It was a close fight between him and Naseer for the runner-up spot.

From the lack of enthusiasm Faris showed when he was performing his solo routine, it's pretty obvious that he has given up on trying to place any higher than fourth. For real, it was so un-enthusiastic that it seemed... sarcastic. -_-"

Men's Senior Above-85kg

1st Muhammad Ismail Bin Mahmood

2nd Elvin Chang

3rd Ee Choon Hian

Ismail had the most aesthetic body of the evening, with every body part flowing beautifully into each other. His waist, was the smallest too. And to top it all off, his posing, was classical and artistic. In every sense of the word, Ismail is the epitome of the classical and aesthetic bodybuilder. If I could choose any physique onstage that day to emulate, it would be Ismail's.

Elvin, on the other hand, is HUGE AND THICK. The thickest athlete onstage in fact, weighing over 100kg. But with better conditioning, he could have dominated the stage, just not today.

Men's Athletic Under-165cm

1st Max Lin

2nd Winson Ang

3rd Kamarruzaman Aziz

It was a close match between Winson and Max. Max had the classical V-taper look whereas Windon had the compact and dense bodybuilder look. The win could have gone both ways but I guess Max won because this is an "athletic" category which I'm not sure how is it judge, but I'm guessing aesthetic is put ahead of mass.

Men's Athletic Above-165cm

1st Shahanizar Bin Johar

2nd Cliff Ethan Sim

3rd Leong Kai En

4th Dex Tey

5th Keith Wong

The results of this category reeaalllyy confused me about what this "athletic" category is about. If it's a normal bodybuilding category, Shah and Kai En will be battling for 1st spot. Dex will place 3rd and Keith and Cliff with battle for 4th place. Anyway, I'll just leave you with the photos as I don't know what the hell is going on. But still, Shah DOES look really "athletic". Hmm...

Guest Posing by Mr Universe, Daniel Toth

Errr... I don't know where to start. Firstly, what's with the samurai costume? The samurai costume theme could have pulled off if there were more theatrical elements with a storyline and perhaps a fight scene or something. But Daniel was just swinging a sword around. And worse was when he switched out of his samurai costume into his spandex shorts in plain view of the audience instead of backstage. And yea, he was looking very offseason. Still, huge arms, I'll give him that. But Wong Hong's guest posing last year was so much more exciting. People were standing up, cheering and going closer to the stage as he posed to lively music.

Mr Singapore 2011 Overall Title

Winner - Adrian Tan

There were three guys whom I saw could potentially win it all was Shaifulhak, Adrian and Ismail. Shaifulhak could win if it bodybuilding was a game of collection of parts instead of a judgement of the body as a whole. His legs are the biggest onstage and back, the freakiest. Ismail was about pure aestheticism. But in the end, the title went to the driest and widest athlete onstage, Adrian Tan.

The other champs congratulating Adrian on his overall win.

Adrian Tan and I.

One thing I wanna note before I leave is the judging system, which had no callouts. A group of 3 to 5 will just be called onstage according to their contestant number, they'll be put through the compulsories, they switch position (left and right mirror switch) and they go through the compulsories again. If the two best guys are not in the same group, they never get direct comparisons. I think that screwed up the decisions of some of the categories, big time. And yea, the emcee was pretty damn boring too. And I'm not the one who thinks so.

Teehee.

Mr Singapore 2011 Results, Photos and Review - Part One

2011-05-09T02:43:00.008+08:00

If you weren't at Kreta Ayer People's Threatre on 7th May, read on as I re-live the experience of the 2011 Singapore National Bodybuilding Championships aka Mr Singapore 2011. Tonnes of photos and category-by-category review and results included.

Men's Junior Under-70kg

1st Zen Low

2nd Dex Tey

3rd Winson Ang

4th Wee Jian Le

5th Chow Ngai Kay

The under-70kg juniors category saw many new talents who will bring bodybuilding to the next level for the next several years. Defending champ, Zen Low was the favourite for this category but last year's runner-up, Dex Tey came into the competition with spot-on conditioning and great vascularity. He had a superb V-taper and freaky hamstrings too.

However, Zen's pure mass was about to hold Dex back. It was a close match and I thought that the win could have gone to Dex. Either way, as soon as they came onstage, both of them were a solid one-two finish and everyone else were contesting for third place.

Newcomer Winson "Cute Boy" Ang showed great potential with an artistic and lively solo routine. Congrats to Winson for placing third in a competitive category on his first try!

Although a lil thin, well-conditioned Wee Jian Le was able to hold back Muscle Explosion 2010 junior category winner, Chow Ngai Kay. But dude, really, you might wanna close up your legs when you pose.

A notable incident during judging was the father of a contestant, Chow Ngai Kay constantly cheering for his son. Now THAT'S a proud father.

Men's Junior Above-70kg

1st Bernard Hoe

2nd Ken Woo

3rd Daniel Lim

4th Keith Wong

5th Aaron Lee

The second course of the meal for the evening was filled with tanks, with more priority for mass rather than conditioning. The top four were huge, with thick upper bodies. I was personally disappointed with the lack of quad definition in this category, with the exception of Ken Woo.

Speaking of Ken, I really thought he was gonna win. I was shocked when Bernard was announced as the winner. And so was Ken. From his expression and the fact that he removed his silver medal right after he got it, I can tell that he's pissed with the judges' decision. I would have been too, if I were him. Ken was by far the best conditioned athlete in this category and it should have gone to him.

However, I wouldn't take the credit away from Bernard. The guy wins by mass with super thick chest, arms and shoulders. And look, his fans made a sign for him too!

Men's Senior Under-60kg

1st Edmund Chua

2nd Abdul Rahim Bin Abdul Rahman

3rd Michael Stephen

This was an easy win for Edmund. Michael wasn't up to the standard of the other two guys and Abdul Rahim did not come in the best shape that could have. Yet, Michael's Michael Jackson-style posing routine was EPIC and certainly brought up the mood of the evening. And for your information, Michael won the best poser award, which was brought out specially for him during Muscle Explosion 2010 because the crowd loved his posing so much. And that was his first bodybuilding contest.

Edmund showed that even with a very small frame, one could built a solid and impressive title-winning physique.

Men's Senior Under-65kg

1st Max Lin

2nd Winson Ang

3rd Fazli Bin Yahya

4th Satrah Karim

5th Conan Chua

In this category, the battle for top honours were between Max "Pretty Boy" Lin, Winson and Fazli. Fazli was dry and grainy, Max had a great V-taper and legs and Winson looked solid and dense but lost some size since the junior category. However, Winson was clearly more confident now and was enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

It was funny when Winson is posing and when he made a loud hissing sound when exhaling, the crowd would playfully imitate the hissing sound too. Haha. You would have to be there to get the joke.

Satrah Karim, whom I'm guessing in his 40s or 50s displayed a body which would put most guys half his age to shame.

Women's Physique Under-160cm

1st Faith Lim

2nd Hapsari Marsden

3rd Angel Aw

4th Huang Yuyan

I'm pretty happy with the quantity and quality of the lady contestants this year. Usually, there'll be only three to five ladies contesting in a local contest. But this year, there were nine ladies in two categories!

What I was unhappy about was Hapsari Marsden placing second. The lady was perfect! She has the firm arms, the tight and curvy butt, really lean waist and she presented her package with very graceful, sexy and confident. The only excuse that I thought the judges could have to place her low is she was "too muscular" which she WASN'T. Ms Figure Olympia, the top title in the world for women's physique, has a lot more muscle mass than Hapsari.

I also thought that Huang Yuyan, although having a skinny look, should have placed higher with her leanness.

Still, congratulations to Faith, who displayed her physique with grace, confidence and elegance.

P.S. I don't usually critic a lady's physique like I just did. This is just for professional purpose only!

Men's Senior Under-70kg

1st Zen Low

2nd Tan Chin Boon

3rd Dex Tey

4th Cliff Ethan Sim

5th Hairi Rahiman

It was hard to call out one definite winner for this category. Everyone had very different physiques and the winner could have been anyone. Apples and oranges, as they say. Dex was wide, had a great V-taper and was vascular, although he held some water since his first category. Zen had lots of mass packed onto his small structure. Chin Boon was like a taller but less blockier Zen. Ethan had well-popped chest and shoulders but had thin legs. Hairi had quite a lot of mass but wasn't as conditioned as he should be.

Well, that's all for part one peeps! Come back to Fabodylous for Part Two!
