My Funny Valentine February 15, 2011

Happy Valentine’s Day! Tron is lucky because I’m a lazy fellow who can’t be arsed to make a big deal out of this so-called 1-day-of-the-year-to-demonstrate-love-for-each-other. I had to work, and I definitely won’t take leave for it. I ended up having a valentine date at the gym… hahaha! Body Combat!! My love for you grows with each class…

Terence did a “Valentine Theme Class” of sorts, but I think he should’ve had the oh-so-suitable “Power of Love” track in order to REALLY fit into the V-Day mood! This is the track list, and his so-called story explanation. Bah, he has some very warped ideas on love :

a. “Angel” -> “Desert Storm” for warm up

Terence storyline : At the beginning, you meet your angel, and all goes well. Ya, you saw an angel… you’re flying high!

b. “Love Drunk”(1st track)

storyline : After you get together with the angel, you’re in love. Everything is perfect… you are love drunk!

c. Truly, Madly, Deeply (2nd track)

storyline : Well, you’re love drunk, you’re in love truly, madly, deeply… wah he’ll love you til the stars fall from the sky! Aiyah, anyone also know how to talk. Only in movies la.

d. ” We Will Survive”

storyline : Well, in every relationship, there is sure to be ups and downs. This is where the drama comes in … but we will survive!

e. “Girlfriend”

storyline : In every relationship, sure to have 3rd party one I tell you. This is where another girl comes in and tells you “Hey hey you you, I don’t like your girlfriend!”. What happens next?

f. “I Will Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)”

storyline : So anyway, after the 3rd party incident, maybe you are with the girlfriend, maybe with another girlfriend. In love, there is everything that we are willing to do, except one thing. And that one thing is that. (WTF)

g. “Braveheart 2006″

storyline : To be honest, I don’t know WHAT he can explain has any relevance to Valentine’s Day for a Combat track. I suppose he said something about fighting for your love, etc. But I blanked out cos I really don’t like this MT track!

h. “U R My Phantasy”

storyline : No need further explaination, you’re in love again, and the person you are with is your fantasy….

By conditioning and cool-down, he didn’t bother anymore already. Hahaha. It was just 2 random tracks. For other Combat instructors doing V-Day theme class, may I recommend : Power of Love, I Was Made For Loving You, What Hurts the Most (this one like relationship gone wrong, and I suppose not a very good note to end the class… you make all your students feel like they are ForeverAlone… hahahhaha!), sk8tr Boy (if you insist on doing an Avril Lavigne track, this is better than Girlfriend… or heck, even The Best Damn Thing is better!), Take My Breath Away, Crashed the Wedding (ahahahhaha!), Holding Out For a Hero (this is good for a Vday class cos most of the people in the class are probably single…), Stuck On You (can rival Angels for a good warm-up track!), Luv U More, I Believe In a Thing Called Love (For conditioning), You Give Love a Bad Name…

Wah, there’s just too many love-related tracks used in Body Combat. Got those which make you want to fight for love, those that make you feel like punching the ones you used to love, and those which make you feel good for not being in love, and those that make you feel super syiok for being in love…

I’m happy to report that I’m back in active condition and my knee doesn’t even give me that much problems anymore, if any. I might be joining Body Attack again, but I will take it slow before I get into my let’s-go-crazy moves. ^^ And I’m going to start a new self-training program… I’m really excited about it. Hope I can see results by March! *insanely hopeful isn’t it?*

Work-wise, it’s been a headache and a half. So many things that I can’t say…

But I remain cheerful and am trying hard to be optimistic. I pray to see the light at the end of the tunnel…

Hot as Fcuk (The Weather, Not Me) February 15, 2009

Happy Valentine’s Day… or belated, to be exact. My friends messaged me things like, “It is just a marketing gimmick, do not fall for it!” Yes, it is true that there is no need to single out one day out of 365/366 to show your love to your Significant Other. But if your man doesn’t shower you with roses / a random present / a nice meal out every other day, isn’t it good to have one day out of the year that you can “force” him out of inactivity? (“,)

But yeah, I rather “force” him out of inactivity on the other cheaper days instead of on the 14th of February. Still, there are many things that you can do on this day which wouldn’t cost extra just because it’s the day to honor St Valentine. How about origami roses instead of the hiked-up-price ones? Hand-made stuff touches the heart more deeply than things that can be bought off the shelf. Home-cooked meals are more appreciated because you can see him slaving away in the kitchen and you don’t have to eat in some noisy, crowded restaurant and share an experience that is happening to every other patron in the restaurant. Major zzzz.

As for me, I did end up having a home-cooked meal… just that it was a pot luck so that means I had to do my share of cooking as well! And yes, the bottles came out again. Seriously girls, I adore the time shared with you all (especially this morning at the mamak, hahaha!) but all this drinking has got to stop. Let’s rest in next weekend ok!

Saturday started off with my gym marathon, by the way, I know ya’ll not really interested, but here’s my new plan for working out 7 days a week, buwahahhaaha:

Day	Location	Workout Plan
Monday	Taipan	Body Combat Weight Training (If early, can go for Body Jam too!)
Tuesday	Taipan	Hot Yoga
	Jaya 33	Body Combat
Wednesday	Taipan	Weight Training Body Jam
Thursday	Taipan	Body Attack (If early, would love to go for Funky Line and Dance Mania too)
Friday	Taipan	Body Jam /Body Combat Body Step
Saturday	Jaya 33	Body Combat Dance Mania Body Attack Body Step Body Jam Swimming! (The last 3 are only if I feel hardworking)
Sunday	Taipan	Body Combat Body Jam

Note : one day with two locations means that it’s an either or situation. One day with only one location means there’s no way in Hell you’ll find me at the other place, hehehe.
And if you think it’s madness to gym 7 times a week, this is not something that I’ve not done before. Must go under 50kg!!!! Important event to attend in about 5 months time!!!

Before I start with house party pictures, here’s some sweaty gym pics to look at, hahhaa:

After a gym sesh in Jaya33… that’s SiawPeng (who lost damn a lot of weight, you can’t tell from this photo but I swear she has!), myself and Pauline.
Siaw Peng’s secret is not Body Combat (though she loves it as much as Pauline and I do)… it’s weight training!

For the people who say that you can’t sweat much through dance… you have obviously never attended a Body Jam / Dance Mania / Funky Line / etc class! Either that or you dance like a retarded snail!
And that’s the shirt that Danny H likes… *shy* It’s from Esprit! And yes, I wear it to work out because what’s the point of declaring your love for dancing if you aren’t doing it! Hehehe.

Okay, about the house party — it was held at Dull’s house because her parents were on holiday. Not that it would’ve mattered apparently because Dull was quite open about having a booze party while the ‘rents were away. Shopped for drinks (which yours truly is in charge of) earlier in the afternoon after gym (I swear, it’s so sinful to work out so hard and then go shopping for a booze party after, hahaha). Dull said she was making fish tikka to eat with naan and then I felt inspired and said I would be making my world-famous (koff!) Tandoori Chicken.

I swear, Dull’s fish tikka was so bloody good I probably finished off 50% of it by myself. O_O *guilty* She says it’s easy to make, so I WANT THE RECIPE GODDAMNIT. The tandoori chicken was also well received, so I can breathe a sigh of relief that even if I can’t cook, I can bluff my way through, hahaha.

Dull’s fish tikka – loads of fish cutlets, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and long beans (I think)…

Whahaha, pls ignore the burnt bits. It’s not really burnt chicken, it’s me smothering the seasoning onto the chicken before baking it because I didn’t want to waste the sauce, haha.

In Dull’s own words – “Why haven’t we done this before, huh?” I can’t wait to show off my other crazy recipes, like the steamed macaroni pie (HAHAHAHA), or something more normal like the creamy mushroom sauce spagghetti.

Can I just say that I LOVE MALIBU!? Thanks for influencing me, Fuzz. And my sister said that she drank Malibu for the first time at the Curious Drinker’s Society too, haha. So far we’ve only been drinking it with pineapple juice, but there are so many other delicious sounding recipes that I can’t wait to try. Sigh… my bottle has only 30% left now…

Since there were only 3 of us girls (4 if you count Aneesha, Dull’s sister who frequently gets bullied by Dull.. haha) it was really just a quiet get together. As usual, Iza came and fell asleep almost immediately. She scares me off any thoughts of doing my PHD / double degree. Watched a bunch of Valentine marathon movies on Astro. Music and Lyrics, which was pretty sweet. The Heartbreak Kid, which I thought would be nice since it was a Ben Stiller movie but gosh, don’t watch this because you’ll freaking hate guys. Freaking pigs! And I fell asleep while watching Knocked Up which wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be. The male lead is quite annoying, duncha think? Katherine Heigl was super hot though.

Haih, and gossip / funny stories sessions at the mamak over nasi goreng kambing (mutton fried rice) for BREAKFAST was awesome. Our awesomeness is evident by how intriguing we can be til Iza is one hour late back to uni. -___- *high five Dull* By the way, that nasi goreng kambing in Sunway is freaking superb. How much is it anyway?

Oh, got a damn scary story about myself to tell you all. Iza slept in the living room with me that night and she said that she heard me scratching myself in the middle of the night (the mosquito coil died… not that we realised that there was even a mosquito coil). So she asked me, “Hey Leech, are you awake?” and apparently I just laughed / giggled in the middle of the night. O_O I don’t remember doing that! And Iza said she got so creeped out that she quickly turned to face away from me because she didn’t want to open her eyes and see me grinning in the dark next to her. HAHAHA! Ookay, the creepy part is how she described my giggle to be. Hahahha. Even I got chills up and down my spine. And Dull – that crapper – she said, “Iza, you should’ve woken me up la. Then I would’ve come out with my nails and hammer… gotta get rid of these people who kena rasuk hantu.” (kena rasuk hantu = possessed by ghosts). O_O” Thank you Iza for not waking the insane woman up.

Early morning no-makeup face on… Dull’s idea to camwhore ya…! *winks*
