That's Hot

Yeah, I feel hot. So hot it hurts, literally. The weather recently has been incredibly hot and dry that even the grass are drying up. This in turns make me sweat even more, but using my brother's technique of using a roll on deodorant first and then applying the spray on anti perspirant makes me clean and dry all day. My sister told me, when she sprays her chest and back, it kept her dry in those area too. Anyways, I started hitting the weights again out of sheer boredom. So what did I achieved out of this? I was sore all day long. I decided a heating cream would do the trick to relieve the pain. It has been a long time since I needed to used it. Well it has been to long, since I forgotten I should not have applied it liberally. As the result, I felt like dancing half naked in my room. This is because the cream felt so hot and it stings like heck. Suddenly I had groove and rhythm. It was not funny to me because its like trading one pain for another. At least now the heat turns into a nice cooling sensation, which why I could type now.

A scene at the gym

Me: *scans the gym card, the bar won't open, tried it again, and it still wont open

Me: Miss can you open the door please

Gym consultant: *smiles, presses a button

Got in the locker room and got flashed by a naked pale butt. I know its the men's changing room but come on la, this is Malaysia, have a little dignity and cover la yourself a bit. I went out of the changing room at went to the gym area and the bar still won't open. I got frustrated and showed them my gym card..

However, it was not my gym card actually, it was my lab access card... I was waving the wrong card and the wrong sensor. I ended up laughing along with the gym consultant. I laughed even though I had a bad day. I never realise I had so many cards in wallet that can function as an access card.

I have my access card for my lab, my Mastercard Pay n Pass card, my IC card that functions as a Touch n Go card, and my gym card. All are access cars. I wish they could all fit into one card so I don't have to embarassed my self again..

I need a new card holder, the old one was torn because I carry 3 cards around my neck..

Face, gym and advice

I just gotten a haircut. Although people say its not long, I just don't like how the side will puff out making my face look wider than it already is. The new barber I go to does a better job than my previous barber. A cut, shave, and scalp massage with a certain oil is only RM 10. I don't have to explain much except that I want it short and he gives exactly what I want. I took this picture after I gotten the haircut. I looked very jambu in my point of view. I bet some of you think its weird for me to get a shave since you don't see me with any facial hair. Its because I have almost nothing except for the wolverine sideburns. Some ladies have more facial hair than I do. I need my monthly dye job to cover those ridiculous straight grey hair in the curly black hair at the back of my hair.

My gym card, with my picture when I first join in. I do look chubbier in this pic than I do now, at least that show I am showing some progress. I skipped 6 days of gym this week because I had other appointments and gained back most of the weight I lost during fasting. Am I freaking out? Nope I am cool about it. I know that its normal because all they weight is just water and muscle. If I miss a few classes I don't get angry, I just continue on and have fun with it. I want this to be a habit, not just something I have to do. Some people get intimidated with the muscle heads at the gym, I don't. Let them with their 50kg weights while I deal with my 5 kg weights. I still do it with my head held up high. I am just too tired or focus to care. Some people get distracted by the half naked bodies at the pool or the tight, sweat soaked gym clothes of those with great figure. I mean if you can get distracted, then you are not working hard enough. I could care less if they were walking naked because with a good workout will leave you pump up, tired, sore but feeling good. However seeing flat abs of that trainer, or those nice shoulder and arms of the muscle head, does push me to do that extra rep or run an extra 10 minutes :p

Surau

I like the old style surau you know, the ones that are half made with wood. It has that rustic feeling to it.

Everything felt like a blast from the past .

The kampung style curtains, worn out praying mats (sejadah). Unlike the concrete mosque and surau, the wooden one are much cooler and more comfortable to pray in. BTW where is this surau you would ask. Its in Kajang actually, not far from my house. Its located at Sg Kantan. Sg Kantan area feels very kampung with the small roads and individuals lots with different style houses. Its like the suburb but kampung style. Even the people that goes to this surau gives me the Kg vibe, as if I went back to my mother's hometown, except that people here do not speak the Ngeri dialect. Other reason for me to choose this surau is that my mother told me, this surau starts its terawikh prayer late and ends early, meaning that the imam goes quite fast actually throughout the prayers. This was perfect because I needed to go to gym directly after it. I mean if I can go to the gym I can definitely go to terawikh prayers. I do not plan to get fat this puasa, not this month, not this year. Too many things have happened and I need someplace to let it out.

Deja vu

It was dejavu for me again. Why? I remember 2 years ago during Syawal, a good friend invited me to her house, an open house. Its like small get together after Hari Raya to enjoy food. Except that we were sick of lemang and ketupat, so she made garlic coated french fries, chicken nuggets and satay. I was invited along with another friend from the same private college. It was fun to meet up old friends and chat. I arrived alone that night with out a partner/date. The hostess (my friend) had her new boyfriend there, even my friend from the college brought her new boyfriend there. Heck there was even a couple already present there before us. There I was in the middle of all the laughter and giggles about past stories, single. It was not bad because at least they acknowledge me there instead of ignoring me completely. Anyways it felt like deja vu again this week, because two of my male friends whom I hang out with often brought their girlfriend around now. It was not bad since the girls are not the shy, stuck up ones, but friends and easy to just chat and joked around, but again, I am the solo one in the group. Deja vu indeed..

**my knee is getting better, but I think I will join the class but refrain from using my knee as much. I love the cross training machine. Now I can burn 300 calories in under 25 minutes. Hopefully I can go an hour on it soon :D
