More than new year

2008 gonna end and here comes 2009, its a new year for everyone, but for my family, it's also my dad 60's birthday.
Since he is 7 year-old, my dad had continue to work till today, for one simple reason, to feed his family.
My wish for this new year are that my family will always stay healthy and I am able to help my dad as soon as possible.
And for here I also wanna tell you guys that, I have the greatest dad in the world! He earn the right to be known by peoples that he is a good father:)

Explanation from Harvey Norman's Customer Service

Well, not particularly satisfied but I had received email and phone call from their department regarding the report I mailed them previously.
The action they will be taken was somehow give the guys warning letter to serve as a lesson though I felt this is more like a PR show. But I sincerely hope it is true as some guys like this I don't think he deserve to be in servicing field. If he wanna check stuff, maybe he should go joined custom.

Pissed off with Dog Attitude of Harvey Norman's Sales person attitude!!!!!!

Let me ask you guys, you go to shopping mall happily with your family and been accused as a thief and didn't receive proper explanation and apology from that person, how do you feel and what do you do? The salesperson also very rude and store manager's didn't come out to settle the matters when you ask for a proper explanation, what do you think their class of service?
For the above incident, what had I did was demand apology from that very guy which he replied with half ass attitude. Therefore I have email the Harvey Norman for this matter as I do feel, we as consumer and human, we have our right to been respected.
I been humiliated when the guards done body check up on me in public, and I just demand a proper apology from the guys and you can't give it? I am pretty disappointed with the service attitude of the Harvey Norman (AEON Bkt Tinggi Branch).
I have emailed them to complaint about the matter and let's see, whether are they a company that concern about their service attitude or just another blood sucking chains store.

R&O : Top Ten Possible Fitness Trend for 2009

1. educated and experienced professionals
- This definitely a good news since there still not many qualified professionals around this day. Wait, where can I get those certification in Malaysia anyway? Not to bring down our own country, make sure if you get a trainer, he/she must be both educated and experienced professionals. I myself had seen too many self claimed trainer that...... oh well....

2. children and obesity
- Ah ha, I am a bit surprise that this one place seconds. With all those junk and fast foods around, no wonder it will make to the ranking. It seem parents play a major role to teach their kids to eat correctly, and also encourage them to perform in physical activity. Please don't let your child be a bookworm T_T

3. personal training
- well not really any comment due to the economy crisis...... Maybe those that very rich and enthusiastic will hire one.

4. strength training
- for me, you are not training if strength training is not implemented. Well, seem the general population start to notice its importance? :)

5. Core training
- core is very important as no matter whatever activity we are doing, we use our core muscle to certain degree. Normally weak core contribute to weak back, back pain and may cause injury when you perform certain vigorous activity. So, don't forget about it.

6. Special Fitness Program for older Adults
- I don't really agree with this one if that older adults still healthy. My trainer before this was 74(76 this year) yet he still able to train with the same volume with young men, just the intensity slightly lower. So there are no setback whether you are old, young and regardless gender. For me, the important part is watch the volume and intensity ;)

7. Pilates
- I don't really know what pilates is, therefore I won't make any comment until my further study.

8. Stability Ball
- Some coach swear by it, some don't. Well, if you feel this do help your performance and health, then do it. Otherwise, don't waste your time on it.

9. Sport Specific Training
- Definitely agree with this one, you can't improve your basketball skill by playing golf right? However one should not make the assumption that they can continue improve themselves by playing the sports over and over again. Remember another important aspect, sport specific conditioning.

10. Balance training
- Not really get what it mean here, however according to strength coach Charles Poliquin, adult can't be taught balance, they only regain. If an individuals didn't attain certain balance level before the age of 12, that individuals is not going to improve dramatically as adult. Well, believe the pro.

There's actually 25 more trends, however I just list out the top 10 and my review and opinion for it. Thank you for the reading :)

p.s. R&O mean review and opinion, from time to time, I will post my opinion and review on certain matter here.

MG Infinite Justice (Main body) Completed!!!

Well, as a red mobile suit and Athrun Zala fans, I just can't resist myself to get this model kit even though I had broke after get it. Been seeing how great was my fren NG 1:100 IJ, I am always thinking to get one but I am damm lucky cause I delay it for sometimes which make me get this MG IJ instead :p
Things I like about this model kit was... emm not sure == my gut feelings just told me to have it...... Ahh, this model kit look very mean and cool compare to the rest I have now...
Things I don't like about this model kit was the head part seem very hard put it in one piece when I assemble it, the shield holder a bit lose, the inner frame not metallic silver or even silver(I have repaint those visible area with gundam marker though), but the leg contruction is very easy. Also, compare with the strikes that I had, the outer armor is more difficult to take off ==
Well, that's just my opinion. Since I like red mobile suit so much and also Athrun Zala( wish they come out with MG Savior T_T), it had overcome all my problem. Well, below are some of my MG IJ photo.

p.s. I am not pro modeler and photographer... so faham-faham aje lar :p


Not so pinky compared with the NG 1:100 counterpart, but still great color scheme



While the beam shield look great, but it a little bit loose ==


Call me melee king!!! I dare say in Cosmic Era, none mobile suit can survive with IJ in close range...(Recall how IJ rape Destiny @_@) No Kira...... no even you :p


With 1:100 family, apparently only Freedom is not MG here :(

Why sleep late/ sleep less will cause fat/weight gain.

First of all, sorry for my horrible grammar, I will try my best to make this article more understandable. As usual, my topic will always circle around my interest, thus this time I will tell you something about how sleeping can affect us from body weight and body percentage( I will exclude those psychological factor, if you guys are interested, just google it, it will be more easy :)
One of the reason that sleep less will cause fat gain if because of a hormone named cortisol, which also known as stress hormone. One of cortisol function is raises the free amino acids in the serum. How it does that? Well, by inhibiting protein synthesis and amino acids uptake by muscle. It also counteracts with insulin to increase gluconeogenesis, that promotes breakdown of protein =_=
People with more muscle typically have higher metabolism, which utilize more energy. When we sleep late, the cortisol had triggered our body to breakdown our muscle to get more glucose in our blood stream. If a person that have less muscle mass still consuming a same amount of calories over a period, guess what happen? Hehehe, weight/fat gain (by losing the muscle, body fat% increase)!!!
This effect wont be notice in short term and some people may even will hallucinating that they are losing weight by sleeping less, but unfortunately that's not the truth. The reason their weight had loss is due to that muscle is more dense that fat(heavier), however in long term that person will be crying when he/she notice their body fat% had been too high for their weight.
For people that sleep late, there will be another reason why you gain fat/gain weight. That is because the extra calories you consume during time of your awake.
Admit it, for those that like to stay awake till late, normally you will find something to stuff your mouth even though you are not hungry, am I right? well, that's the culprit behind your weight gain.
Following is a link about a research that explain the relation between reduced sleep and weight gain in women:
http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/164/10/947?maxtoshow=&HITS=&hits=&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=sleep+and+weight+gain&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT

Even though this research subjects are exclusively women, well boys and man, don't take for granted. Sleep early if you still wanna maintain your manhood, err I mean muscle :p

Why I love to eat egg

1. It has 100% biological value (whole egg, cooked).
2. It is one of the cheapest food per nutritional value.
3. It contain a decent amount of protein and amino acids.
4. It taste good and very versatile for cooking and dishes.
5. You can get it almost everywhere.

Okay that's actually more but here are the few more important criteria...

By the way, the only thing I don't like to eat too much eggs was:
It make your fart very smelly T_T (Considered it as a benefit too if you think your fart can be your self defense weapon :p)

Gundam, Ikimasu!!!

Showing here are Strike(Sword and Launcher Pack) with Strike Rouge, you guys have any better idea how should I pose it?

Think that your are fit? Not before you finish reading......

For decade, people have continue to use Body Mass Index(BMI) to measure their health status, while BMI can estimate the healhty weight a person with certain height should had, in most case it can't really reflect the accurate obesity or health related status of the individual.
It had been known that many power athletes such as sprinter, boxer, weight lifter typically have a higher BMI but they still look very muscular while many sedentary look like a slab of fat (sorry if I am too harsh here) even though their BMI is within the 21-25 range. This is due to that our muscle are more dense and heavier than the fats.
Therefore, the more accurate way to measure the relative health status shall be considering the fat percentage and the waist-hip ratio.
Therefore, if you are someone that had over the BMI but carry muscle around you (with relative active lifestyle of course), don't worry, you are just fine. While for those that within the BMI range but lead a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits, don't be fooled by your BMI. ;)

*Body fat percentange and waist-hip ratio will be cover in future topic.

3 Things That I Had Done and Doing This Holiday =_=

1. Painting
2. Installing and Assemble
3. Use my raw strength

Okay okay, I may sound vague so let me explain each of these one by one.

Painting, since my dad is short of worker recently, I had go to his work site to help him to do the painting job for his project, oh well, the 2nd day of my holiday I spend whole day painting in Jalan Loke Yew.
That's the painting for work, for leisure, I had also doing some painting job. FYI, I am a gundam fans and been collecting gunpla since I am 12 but become quite active only recently. I have a 1:20 Lacus Clyne and Cagalli Yula Attha Figure that come together with my gunpla. Out of boredness, I experiment both of them with gundam marker and some poster color =_=


The picture is quite blur since I am very pokkai, took this pic with my W700i.

And now for the installing and assembling, actually I should add "screwing" too but well it seem it not really suit to be use here. Anyhow, beside painting, I also help my dad install doorlock and the door on his work site, when at home, what else, of course assembling my gunpla!!!! Thanks to glitz83 a.k.a. abang ray which sell very cheap gunpla online, I able to get more gunpla( those in Toy R'Us and department store too overprice =_=). By the way, following is glitz83 blog: theglitzgundam.blogspot.com , be sure to visit it if you are also gundam fans, you wont regret it ;)



3rd thing I do, since it involve strength, actually it still the same, when there was something that I can do in my dad work site, I will be the hulk or err... kuli T_T just responsible to carry this and that...... At home, no matter how tired am I, I still follow my own discipline and make sure I at least do some compound exercise(weight training) with my barbell......
Btw, there will be no pic for the 3rd since now I am skinny enough to been blow by wind, been trying to gain back my strength during this holiday T_T
