My desktop has been showing me BSOD 10/10 times i tried to boot it up. I will be too lazy to fix it for now, will be getting something new.
I'm considering between a desktop and laptop.
DESKTOP
I can use my current 20" widescreen, keyboard and mouse and speakers. Good screen, big screen etc etc, but lots of messy wires and give me lesser space.
LAPTOP
I am using a 14.1" display laptop now, well, it's big, definitely big enough for my usage because i just surf the web and check emails etc. 12" may be a bit too small from my previous laptop. 13"? gotta try first.
My choice......
A laptop. I am moving away from desktop now. I don't want so many wires!!!
but heh, i think it may be my hdd or ram problem, let me try to fix it when i'm free tomorrow. Too darn busy today.
Lipsified by Kevin 0 Lipsy
coz i drive a swift. aha, but seriously...
1) i'm having a steady source of income
2) i have a nice family
3) i have close friends who are not fair weathered..
4) a nice girlfriend, "wife to be"
5) i'm driving a swift!
ahhaa
Just a few things which i'm can get sad sometimes.
Too busy with work, i don't have time for gf and friends.
Too busy with business, oh, i have 1 current business and i'm setting up another 1 by end of this month with 1 more possible business in 2009.
My goal? I want to have enough money to spend for the rest of my life without putting in too much man-hours of effort to make the money. heh
Once my shop is set up, i will make an announcement here.
As for SIM, i applied too late, i cannot get in, they offered me night classes which i have to consider very carefully because i work at night most of the time. hmmmm....

It's spoilt! itchy hand go and play around with wires and baboom, short circuit... heart pain :((
new old: aspire one a0150 ultra portable laptop
now, i have the luxury to use the internet on my bed. woohoo~~
review about this laptop
after you uninstall all useless program, remove all program from start up. using firefox, 3-4 windows at a time, msn on, it's almost lag free. with those shit on, this laptop is crap.
keyboard is small, i need to adjust to it.
screen is small, but oh well, i cannot complain at this price. ahha
oh, it has a nice screen!

Life will definitely be tough in the next few years.
School (If i were to get in)
Personal training (I will get more choosy on clients already. = ) )
Business: Have 1 biz going on now, will probably dig deeper into saving for another bigger one.
Marriage: *shy*shy* Don't tell you.
Family: Family is doing fine except Leonard is failing almost every subjects.
Friends: Sad that we never meet up so often now. =(
Body: Stable at 70kg with visible 4 pack at times only.
Soccer: Going to play a match again tomorrow. Hopefully, my hamstring will be ok.
Health: Good
Hair: Not dropping so much already lah!
Car: Finish modding all i want already. Just hope it will go on for a long time.
Girlfriend: *shy*shy* Don't tell you, but same girl la.
Fashion sense: Still the same, this mean it's getting worse.
So, i hope EVERYTHING will go smoothly. I will be able to get my own house, settled down, money raking in by the age of 28!
3 years!
ENDURE!

went 2nd round of massage today.
did both itb and front thigh.
feeling of manual massage v foam roller (high density roller) is that manual massage can give you a harder rub. Bone is harder than the roller and you can be totally relax and enjoy the massage.
gosh, there's lots of bruises on both thighs, straight line along my ITB and my butt! haha
next area, both my calves... round 3.
decided to hang this cute little toufu at the bottom of the car. ahhaha, toufu really suit the theme of my car now eh.
toufu tissue box, toufu sticker, toufu car!

Lots of deep injury on my right thigh. Got my right hamstring fixed! (Look at all the bruise)
Signed up a package, going to fix my right quads and my left thigh too someday soon.
My weight has stabilized at 70kg and i can see my 4 pack again! I may going another round of "mass gain". Will probably hit 72kg now.
Ahh, must wait a while longer to get my lower body fixed. I have no been deadlifting and squatting for past 6 weeks now.
And argh, soccer! Can't do both stuff together.
But well, i am acting pro and hardcore, i can do it!

played very badly for team orange yesterday although we won the match 5-1. (1-1 HT)
I can explain! I did not have carbs for 3-4 days till the match. Mum forget to cook rice for me, oh well.
Recarbs after sat match and i played well today. In fact, i scored 1 long range ball, a shot so powerful and accurate that totally whizzed past the GK and out of his reach. 4 goals total so far. :)
Then, i dribbled past 1 player.. tried to kick a right outer foot to my right winger and there's legs contact with that player. Fall badly and i'm out for the match.
Can barely walk. Drive home.
Relax.
ahhh, i still played to start squatting and deadlift tomorrow 1 lor.
gotta postpone this training plan liao.
1 of my old friend said "wah, your thighs very big sia"
haha :shy:
i have not work on my lower body for a few weeks liao.
ok, ball feel is back.
fitness is back.
hope this injury is not serious. (hamstring strain/pull)

Lost 3 straight games with 2 different teams.
1) Lost 5-2 or 6-2 or something. (FJC)
This is the first game which i am able to run without any pain and i am able to kick with both feet again. Woot. I'm 90% fit now. =)
2) Lost 7-1 with team orange.
We are 5-0 down in the first half. Went in and played pretty ok. Not much mistake and i'm integrating into this experienced team. Created a chance or 2 and break up a few plays.
I am now able to chase for ball even after getting beaten.
Btw, the opposition is very strong. They matched us evenly with 10 players initially and start to own the field when they have 11 played on the pitch. All 11 of them are skillful, comfortable with ball and they can run! 1 of the best non-league team i have see so far!
3) Lost 4-3 with FJC.
We went 1-0 down quickly. I pulled a goal back with a left leg corner kick. Oh yes i did it again. Scoring from a corner kick directly. :::shy::: hahaha
2-1 up after "xxx" picked a durian from another FK from joe.
3-1 up after i scored from a FK. It's my left foot again. Lobbed the GK with the ball going just under the bar. :::SHYx2:::
3-2 at half time.
We lost 4-3 at full time.
I'm tired.
Going for intense massage on my lower body for this week. Tried smfr-ing my right ITB and it hurts. Probably from a knock during sunday game. Hope i will be fit for this weekend again.
Current form for white boots.
Goal scored: 3
Right foot: 1
Left foot: 2

Ahhh, it has been a real long time since i spend money on myself.
Since downloading mp3 is so tough nowadays, i have bought myself a radio CUM wake up radio CUM ipod dock thingy. but too bad la, after i buy this, then i realised the function is a little bit not enough!
but at least it's small and compact.
next upgrade, queen size bed, selling off of desktop, speakers and bulky stuff in my room.

I have tried quite a number of mid-end soccer boots before. I have to say i still prefer nike than all other brands. I have to buy UK size 7.5 for all boots. This is not the best size coz there will be too much gap at the front while size 7 (fit just 100%) leave no gap. As you know, leaving 0 gap is a killing to the toe. If only there's size 7.25...
Some other boots which i have tried.
1) Lotto statio (spelling; i have forget since it's more than 10 years ago anyway). This pair of boots is defintely light and comfortable. Unfortunately, it's hard to maintain the skin of the boots and when it get dried up, control will go down.
2) Nike Air zoom (the one with blue/white)
This is the most comfortable pair of boots i ever tried. (Recommended by worm)
Due to the cutting of the boots, it will be good for those with big toes or big front part of foot. It's light and comfortable. The skin is durable and control will be at 1 of the best.
3) Nike R90.
My favourite boots of all time. I started wearing this pair since YJC days. I even bought a new pair of this boots just for the tournament. It's the lightest. And hmmmm, skin is as durable as air zoom. Although the cut is different (front is not wide, it's sharp actually) but it fit my feet nicely. Too bad it has EOL already.
4) Diadora (spelling) red cheapo boots.
I sold it after wearing for 1 match. It's old school stud which is round and long just make it very uncomfortable for playing in singapore lousy pitch. The skin and cut are not good also. I will feel the pain to my foot by just making simple passes.
5) Adidas predator (dont know which generation)
I didnt get the highest end. ($200+) I got mine at $120 (mid end)
What can i say about this? I just dont like it. It put too much curl to my ball. And which btw, i score a few fantastic goals from set pieces. 2-3 goals from corner direct and 1 more left foot FK which is just outside the penalty box.
6) Nike T90
The one which i am wearing now. Well. It's affordable at $89. The wide front cut of the boots put 0 stress to the toe. The skin give adequate control of the ball. Just that the ball i kick give little or no spin, thus, no curl. Shot/cross will be very straight. If you are not a set piece taker, this boots will probably do very well!
What question do you have for me bolah coz my review sucks. Only those with ah beng cum half pail english can understand me.

Can't sprint so much like last time already. So, i have changed my playing style.
With white boots and white socks, people who know me will probably know how i will play.
I opened scoring with the new pair of boots on sunday. A long ball over their defence line, i chipped the ball over the GK who is rushing out. It went high and a few cm under the bar. ( GOOD GOAL! )
If i were to try this in training, i will probably get 1 goal like this out of 10 tries. With 2-3 more into the net (but not as nice) and the rest saved by GK or over the bar.
With my weight stabilizing at 70kg, I will not squatting for the time being so that i can let my right thigh heals completely. It's painful, but it's feeling better each time.
Once my right leg recover completely, i will resume my favourite position at right mid. muahahahah

Played more than a half on sunday too.
Although it's a goal-less first half, but i enjoyed the game totally. There are passing and passing throughout the game!
I'm gaining more fitness. Will play only better and better.... For sunday soccer only la.
Lipsified by Kevin 0 Lipsy
Played more than a half today.
Overall feel is not too bad. Just strain a little of my right quads from the corner kick and some runs. Joe has big kick, and argh, i'm not ready to run yet.
Left foot still can't cross well yet. Right foot? Don't really dare to use it also.
Will be playing another match tomorrow. Hope to regain my soccer fitness soon.

You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never want to loose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people then you will be stress-free.

It has been raining everyday...
I like the rain coz it's a reason for me not to wash the car. With the stickers up and rims changed, i will just NOT wash the car so that it will look rugged.
People always think pearl white is very hard to maintain. I disagree with this. By just washing it infrequently (once in 2 weeks), you can just restore the shine etc. It's better than white because it doesn't get yellowish so easily. If you are referring to the "tears" after the rain, it will be there and it will be obvious, but it's easily waxed away.
I find it real enjoyable to drive in heavy rain. Dark sky, all cars with headlights and foglights on, listening to the radio, all driving slowly.
Just that there will be some dumb dumbs who will drive with their hazard lights on! If you have been reading my blog since 2005, you will find this is the 1433129th time that i am complaining about these dumb dumbs.
Come to think of it, i have much more "almost accidents" this year.
-cars turning left from fliter lane do not bother to slow down or STOP!
-bikes swerving into my lanes suddenly.
-turning into my lanes without signal.
etc etc
So please, don't be any driving dumb dumbs.
There are a lot of cases of inconsiderate drivers around too.
If you are going to use the HP and drive (which is an offence), please don't stick to the first lane. That is an overtaking lane. Even if i am driving at 120kph, i will change to lane 2 for others who are driving faster than me!
Some "buey pai sehs" are even worse. Driving 80kph at lane 1 with lots of car following close behind while leaving like 10 car-lengths in front of them.
SIGH. But it's like this 1 la. All these have become a norm in Singapore. I would rather take these thrash than take our public transport.
The problem of globalization.

Ah, first kick of the ball for 1 year +.
Last soccer game Dated feb 2007! WTF
Took red bull and applied yoko yoko so i did last more than 1 half till they subbed me out.
Team play: 1 of the most interesting team i played for so far. No natural GK and no natural defender. Any through ball will give opposition a 1-1 situation. Any shot on target will relate to a goal. Guess they need their first choice GK who is not at the game.
final score is 6-4. Now you can understand how is defence for both teams. :D
I score the first goal. Direct kick in from a corner kick. I heard things like "did he aim for shot or cross?" I don't dare to answer, it's just not the first time i scored a goal like this. ahha
Had a good warm up before the game. I am still able to kick with both my feet, just that i do not dare to use more strength for right leg. At 1 point of the game, i felt my right quads is going to cramp. Guess i have to keep fixing the problem, if not, i have to retire from soccer again. aha
Overall fitness: passable. Except that i do not run for ball, i did a few runs, but 0 pass to me. :/
Overall ball feel: not bad, pretty good, can improve.
Do i fit into the team? I don't think so. :( I play center mid with 4-3-3. I don't even know my role.
Will i play again? Sure, just go and have fun.
Did i enjoy the game? Not after we conceed the 5th goal and put the game out of reach.

ah, been more than a year since i last played soccer.
i'm joining bryan for a training session tomorrow and then a game next friday evening.
definitely cant expect myself to play well, but wth, just go and enjoy the game.
regarding my job, it's good. well paid, rewarding when clients progress. slack in day time, having a few sessions here and there and work only at night and on weekends.
doing things i love and earning money sounds good. but i'm working when friends are having fun. i need company and support. working in this line is not for me at the moment.
i would rather earn lesser and still have a good life. :)
Here's a little on my soccer history.
I'm still a noob up till sec 3. Will either play GK or left back for any team. (a position which most dont want to play)
Then slowly, i rise to a mid fielder and striker. (not saying defender is nothing but i'm better in attack)
Chance come when i entered YJC.
The team is damm strong (Champion material) and somehow, i got into the first eleven. Starting every match till the final, oops, i mean 3rd/4th placing.
Best thing about me? LISTEN WELL melvin, worm, pa and soccer friends.
I'm not that good la, just able to run, able to make THROUGH pass, whip in some crosses and score from long range. (AHHA, i remembered this is how i intro myself to the team)
Though i score 0 goal in the tournament, but i did score a few long ranges during friendlies. Still remembered the curling grounder against hcjc and aha, we never lost when i score.
I gave the first assist in our tournament! A curling cross from right flank for bird to score. hehe
ahhhh, those are the times. No worry about money, just keep playing soccer.
Led YJC during my 3rd year, but we are out in the first round.
YJC then formed a team which i still played for during my NS time. But after mr raj got injured and stop organising for the team, the team disbanded.
Played for a few teams now and then. Liteace club and FBT.
Somehow, still play a vital role for these 2 teams.
FJC next.
Better not anyone read this post, will intro myself as a soccer noob this time rd.

1 of my friend has been asking me for home workout. Will do a quick write up first.
I will first name a few exercises which you can do at home with bodyweight (BW) or very light weight.
Pull up & variations such as power pull
push up & variations such as clapping push up
squat & variations such as jump squat
lunges & variations
single leg deadlift
row
overhead pressing
burpee
Just find a few exercises and combine them into a circuit fashion (with or without any rest in between) and you will have your home workout.
The interesting thing is, for most people who are unfit and want to lose weight, they are unable to perform most (if not all) the exercises named above.
It's always not fun to workout if you have limitations. (limited flexibility, mobility, stability and strength)
So what's the first step? Getting there. You do not need perfect flexibility, mobility etc. You just need to reach a decent level.
So start off with all these warm up stuff.
SMFR
Stretching
Mobility exercises
Some core exercises
When you are better, learn hip movement and start deadlifting away.
The real fun workout start when you can
Deadlift/squat 1.5x BW
Bench BW
pull up x 10
etc
That's when workout will get real tough and challening.
Here's 1 example of a very short and effective for a metabolic workout.
Leg matrix
24 squat
24 lunges
24 jump squat
24 jump lunges
My timing is ~2:30 if i'm not wrong.
Best timing i "heard" is 2 x leg matrix in under 3 minutes.
If you cannot squat/lunge, it's usually weak conditioning and poor mobility in ankle etc.
If you cannot jump, gotta start with some reactive training to learn how to land.
Once you are good with strength/endurance and landing, you are good to go.
ps: this is my blog, not the website. so nvm the grammer error la.

I have been slacking for too long. I definitely won't go far at this level. I will need to improve myself. Before i can take on to higher level with others, i will need improve my own body.
:::Current stats:::
:::Physical:::
Weight: 68kg
Skinfold measurement
Thigh, abs, chest all less than 10mm.
:::Strength:::
Deadlifting 120kg, hook grip no round back.
Front squat 110kg
3 x BW + 20kg pull up for sets
:::Level 1 goal (easiest):::
Weight: 72kg
Skinfold measurement
Thigh, abs, chest all ~10mm.
:::Strength:::
Deadlifting & front squat with proper form. (No mix grip for deadlift, may consider lifting strap)
Deadlift: 2.1x BW ~152.5 kg (round up)
Squat: 2x BW = 145kg (round up)
3 x bw + 27.5kg pull up for sets
Let's hope i am able to reach level 1 asap.

weeeee...
cbox is unlocked. i hope the taggers will be mature enough not to make fun of people's gf or what so ever.
i am skinny, i never go around saying that i am big. i am only 69kg, i never go around teaching people how to gain mass to 80kg, but only helping skinny people to gain mass to 60+kg, which they will be thrilled with this result too.
if you still wish to include criticism in my blog, maybe you want to take a look at yourself first. i have see how some bodybuilders train their clients, did i go and comment their training is not suitable for their clients? no, i will never approach other clients. likewise, i hope all trainers will give me some respect here. but i'm glad that my clients prefer to stick with me.
worse, you have no knowledge or body to show. so, instead of being a keyboard warrior, go and do something to your life.
if you are someone we know, go and look at the mirror again. so what if you have compete in bodybuilding before? your legs are... you gotta work more on them.
----------------------------------------------------------
i have been passive for too long. i place her as my top priority and my motivation for other aspects of life has been affected. hope i will be able to know my direction for the future.
------------------------------------------------------------
i have been telling my clients that all people have a tummy, here's some pics to show
relax
tva activated slightly
flex
here's a video to show. someone with very low bodyfat.
click here for the video
I got the link from crandfs from hwz.
Of course, for those who want to get abs, the first thing is to lose more fat first before knowing how to flex the mmuscle correctly.

The world is definitely changing, it's getting more and more fucked up - including me. I am not a saint, i am a fucker too.
Come to think of it, people will reveal their real character when it comes to money or girls (for guys).
I had a deal agreed with this guy. I am buying his supplement for $70 and i will be collecting it from him personally. Price, location and item all set. I got a msn from him the next day that he is selling $80 to another person. Bravo, this shows that his character may be worth $10. But come to think of it, he's a student etc etc. The new buyer is someone i know too. Oh well, at least he informed me in advance.
Other fuckers (note that the seller above is not 1)
-Agree on price. During meet up, buyer asked for more discount etc etc.
This is 1 of the worst. So ma fan. Waste time and money for meet up and then say want extra money. Pui.
-Dishonest seller.
There's fault with items selling but never declare.
There are a lot more but i have not encounter them yet. Lucky me.
Anyway, let's talk about fat loss or muscle gain.
There are lots of way to get your ideal figure. You just need 1 thing: hard work.
Even if i were to give a good training program, there's no use if you dont put in the effort. We can train 3 times a week, that's about 3 hours weekly. Is this good?
Not too bad i suppose.
But by the time i see a fault, you will need a few minutes daily to rectify it. The key is frequency, not really about of time in a session. You will be better off with 5 minutes daily and 1 hour each week in 1 session.
Workout is tough, it's never easy. Sometimes, i get a little frustrated by lazy questions.
-Can i do hiit 4 times weekly (around 6 minutes each time) and lose 7kg?
He's my ex-client, i am not a trainer who will turn my back on your when you are not paying me anymore. But well, i explained so many times to him during our PT already.
sigh sigh sigh
There are no fat people, just lazy people.
Think muscle = money and fat = debt.
Can you get money without working? If you can, good for you.
Regarding money, if you have no plan to pay up, just say it. I can write it off and know so much about you. There's no need to delay, excuses like busy etc are just dumb. How much time do you need to pay up? hours?
I will be deciding my career path after i attend level 1 next month.
I have clients with different trainers, most of the trainers can say a lot of things, but some of them are still lazy - never bother to give better training program or improve form during workout. I am not saying i am perfect, i am another human. If any client turns me off, i rather terminate the package (return money etc) and dont see you better. I don't feel good earning money while watching you wasting time in training.
If you are lazy, just admit it. Don't try to make yourself look good.
All things bottling up in me are out now.
Feel much better. I am not a saint, don't think of me as someone who do what i say. I don't train frequently nowadays, i take 1 week break twice for the past month already.
But when i train, it's like a few of your training sessions (in an hour). Don't ask me why am i blessed etc. I take care of my body 24/7. Not just in the gym.
I try not to slouch, i wont go and screw up my posture, i dont eat junk daily, i have adequate rest nightly, i smfr frequently again, i eat well, i eat more (than those who cannot gain weight), i eat less (than those who cannot lose weight).
Tsk
tsk tsk
ps: You are not suppose to understand 100% of this blog entry. It's not your fault, it's mine. My typical half pail water english.

Hi all zero fighters. This training article may be of interest to you.
Have you tried doing lats pull down and assisted pull up (machine) and you still cannot do a single pull up?
Try band pull up.
Equipment required.
A lady doing band pull up
Do the set up as above and start pulling away... Once you can do 1 bodyweight pull up, you will start to train without the band.

Aik, i remembered when i first change to hks exhaust. The sound is so loud, the tailpipe is so big. It look and sound so nice. (I am still beng at heart)
Doesnt matter if acceleration (at low end) suffered.
Doesnt matter if FC is poorer (coz i have to step harder)
2 months has pass. I have enough!
Dekitted and go back to stock exhaust today.
I like the respond so much now. Can accelerate much faster for city driving.
Now i know the difference between low and high end.
With stock exo, it's balanced. With hks, low end has lower power but high end is very powerful.
Tried revving with stock exo, the rpm increased slowly after 4k. Tried with hks, it can climb to 6k easily.
Heh.
Driving experience and modding ish fun.
Life is good coz i drive a swift.!

Germany V Spain tonight. Now, i have no idea why Spain is the favourite. From what i see, Germany should be the favourite. They definitely have more experience and nerve to play better in final. Remember that they can play like shit and still win!
Here are my picks for tonight.
Half time 1x2
$5 Draw @ 1.80
HT/FT
$20 draw-ger @ 6.50
1x2
$10 @ 2.90
Torres to pick top scorer
$5 @ 60!
Strange right? In order to JP. The match MUST go like this.
0-0
1-1
2-2
3-3
At half time. Torres to score all goal. German goals must come from different players. Not from that guy with 3 goals though. Best if spain OG thrice.
Then Germany to win 4-3 overall, with another OG from spain.
HUAT ah!

My gf & I experienced it personally.
Zhen de jia bu liao
Jia de zhen bu liao!!!
Last saturday, we went to worm's sister's house for KTV. Someone from swiftclubSG is buying my exhaust tip and will travel to the place. I brought the tip up to the house and wait for this buyer's call.
Anyway, i got a sms from the buyer and i have to travel down to proceed to the deal.
My gf accompanied me.......
Worm's sister stays on the 14th story. You know la, these lift will stop at every level and we are able to see outside from inside the lift.
The lift stopped at the 9th level. My gf kept saying "there's an old man outside, there's an old man outside".
BUT i dont see anybody.
Me "Confirm got old man? I don't see anyone!!"
gf "YES, got old man!"
DAMM. The lift door open.... I repeat again.
Me "Confirm got old man? I don't see anyone!!"
gf "YES, got old man!"
At this point...........................
The old man appeared right in the middle (front of lift).............
From the side. -_-"
He was in my blind spot la.
Then the old man said "you guys can go down first, i will wait for the next one..."
HERE COME THE SCARY PART!!!
Then the lift close and we go down la.
That's the end. Now, is this the scary part?

It has been a long time since i ^#$@%@%@$. Here it goes...
1) If you are waiting by the roadside, common sense will tell you to stand on the pavement (on the grass patch if you want to). You will NEVER stand on the road. It makes thing harder when it's hard to differentiate who is slimmer when compared to Mosses Lim!
2) Gaining Fat/Losing muscle.
Simple. Our body hates muscle and loves fat. Our body will always try to put on as much fat as possible while having the least muscle to support your lifestyle. Yes, this is why we will go to the gym to stress our body with heavy load so that we will put on muscle to support the lifestyle.
We won't gain muscle or lose fat overnight. I use a window of 2 weeks.
If you workout hard consistently and eat well for 2 weeks, you will be able to see progress. Hence, if you eat badly and don't workout for 2 weeks, then it's possible for you to see some fat gain. You will NEVER lose muscle or gain fat over a period of a day or 2, or just 1 cheat meal.
If you are having a holiday, it's a holiday FFS. Enjoy it. Don't think so much about workout or diet. If you know you have been working out hard for the past few weeks/months. Take a break.
3) Diet
These food can make you fat!
-refined/processed food (esp carbs)
1 apple is good. 1 glass of apple juice is bad.
Flour is bad.
Chicken with skin are good/ok.
Fried chicken is bad COZ it's chicken + flour.
Prata are bad coz it's flour.
*see something in common now? It's always refined/processed carbs.
Before you wanna eat something and SMS me "hey will eating xxx make me fat/lean", apply this logic and think. It's ok to ask once or twice in a month or so. But asking every other day is %@$#!$!#. I have many clients. Imagine all clients asking me once a day if eating xxx is ok or not. I am going to die from SMS flooding.
Apply this logic with point (2), if you were to eat junk for a meal. Will this make you fat? No.
If you were to eat junk at least once a day for 2 weeks, will this make you fat? Yes!
If you were to workout hard and eat well for a day, will you slim down? No!
4) Drinking
Drinking alcohol is bad, real bad. It's not about calories already. It's about hormonal effect. Go do some research on your own. If you were to drink once a week, heh, i will say it's pretty bad. Drink till you puked a few times that night is worse.
err, this point is not really a rant, but it's for knowledge sharing. Drinking once a week (till you puke) is not going to help you to achieve that 6 pack.
5) If i were to reject your call, it may mean i'm working or having my private time. Don't bother to call again. This happen that night...
Ring ring. (I press reject)
Ring ring. Hello. Oh you are in a movie ah. okok. (At this point, i thought he's going to hang up. Instead....)
I ask you ah, which brown rice should i buy?
*PENGZ
ahah, once again i need to stress. My gf has suffered a lot recently. I have been working 7 days a week and it's hard for me to find time to enjoy with her. Let's us enjoy our sweet moments please.
This blog entry is just for me to rant. Don't take it too hard coz i told you guys about this in training this week. I just gotta stop bottling up.
Thank you for being understanding.

it has been a long time since i can wake up late, 10am to be exact. I feel so refreshed!
Had a new pair of client today. A couple. heh
And it's the first time i see a guy with perfect posture!! He said he has knee pain and i can probably deduce it's due to inhibited glut muscle. His ankle are ok leh.
Well, he has no flat back etc etc, no scapular winging, everything is just so OK!
3 problems with him
1) pretty inhibited glut - knee pain
2) fail SBJ - no hip movement
3) slight over development at left upper trap - carry sling bag.
well, he's going to be the one who will progress the FASTEST if he work hard.
Just received a call from a trainer cum bodybuilder. he offered me to work for him at a certain country club. if i had just returned from china, i would certainly take up the offer.
hmmm, just wondering how he get lobang to manage a gym one... heh

If you are experiencing any or a combination of the things below, you may have poor ankle mobility.
The list goes on….
Our ankles are made for mobility. If our ankles are not mobile, our knees (which require stability) will be forced to be mobile.
Here what you can do to improve your ankle mobility.
Click here for the youtube video.
*Video from stronglifts.com
To further improve your ankle mobilty, you can do the drill at an angle. Your toe will be higher than your heel and continue with the same movement shown in the video.
If you feel stretch at your calves, then you have poor calves flexibility. Just remember to add some calves stretch.
If you don't know the different between "lock out" (mobility problem) or "stretch" (flexibility problem), then you will need help more people who know it.

time for update!
I may be caught speeding last night!! hehe
Not sure what speed they clock me, but i was going 80kph on a 70kph when i saw them. I may be going faster or slower, i dont know. The road is empty and it's hard to keep to speed limit.
Probably a warning, or at most 4dps and $130.
Most of my clients are going full deadlift now. Well, it's not hard to get it right.
Current best record is 1kg/week gain for Singh.
Best movement goes to Gary Heng.
Best enlightenment is Vinson. ahha

another busy week has gone. come to think of it, i am working 7 days a day. si beh pia hor?
hmmm, gonna add some stickers to the car soon.
*sorry ah lyn, i'm still beng at heart.
got my supplement in.
CLA
t-bomb 2
melatonin
BCAA
whey
fish oil
All these are the supplement which i'm going to start tomorrow. Just curious how big i can go. I'm still doing 4-day split currently. Seeing some gain now. Very close to 68kg. :x
Come july or august, will split training with parts (maybe) and train up some smaller muscle parts. Here and there, can give me chao chao 2kg la. But i'm feeling i'm getting too big (when pumped). Singlet are getting too tight. Look gay...
Anyway, gonna do some prehab work later and sleep early tonight. Tml is another work day plus my workout day. (deadlift + bench)!
good night all.

This war is very strange. I do know the people read forums such as fp, hwz, opts and nfft. I know some of them come to my blog and flame me, some or more flame at louis.
What make people do crazy thing?
popularity/traffic of website?
jealousy?
hate?
think you are not good enough to be a PT coz you are not big enough?
lots of possibilities.
Anyway, good that my clients are backing me up. :x
I may not need recognisation (or whatever word) from the public. As long as my clients are happy enough, that's enough. I am just serving my clients, not everyone. Now, who can possibly please 100% of the people right?
I dont know why i blog about this, maybe i'm affected by what's going on, people acting pros and hardcore (hey, i'm being labelled by 1 in the forum so far too btw).
I guess i'm just happy helping people attaining their fitness goals and earn money at the same time. Come to think of it. What's my fitness goal? I dont know. Nothing. :)

those who know me, will know that i am very against taking medication. if you eat and rest well, you will not fall sick. i started to have sore throat and block nose last sat, i can recover from it IF i drink lots of water and sleep more.
But too bad, last sat is my gf's birthday, we spent the weekend together. NICE.
I was working yesterday, first session at 8am and last at 740pm. I had my own workout last night too. Deadlift, bench & snatch with 1 set of bicep curl and tricep extension.
I do not need to see a doc till... i lost my voice during my last PT last night. Oh well, i had to cancel this morning and noon job - to pay a visit to the doc and sleep.
My next PT is 3pm later, i should be ok by then.
I had weigh the pros and cons, i can live with irritating throat etc etc. But i cannot work without my voice. So yup, i took the short cut - medication.
The visit is ex also! $55. !!!
ps: i may be sick, but i look perfect normal (except that my face will look more tired), that's all. Just want to take this chance to sleep in later.

all of you guys have been disturbing louis and i recently. now, what's the problems with you guys? Coz we went thru OPTS training and you guys are jealous about our knowledge or what?
Did i act pro or what in the forum? I am there to help and to get some clients when they come to me.
Jenilson: the thread that you set up, remember how fatpiglet said that i think before posting about bashing anything for the past few months?
last 3 tags from "amuse": if you are that deprived of sex, just think of masturbation to get some feeling. nothing is better than sex. masturbation is better than nothing. therefore, you can be well off wanking in a corner of your house.
bigjer: thanks ah, if wanna meet up, i dont know what these people wanna discuss with me than saying i'm skinny and insulting my close ones.
linger/biao: keep on losing fat, typing in my tag to rebut is not going to help you lose the fat on your hand though. i have great faiths in you 2.
amuse: love love. now it's open who is she already. that's why i am so unhappy when people insult about sexual stuff about her. we have a great bedroom times ok?
well wisher: thanks for your well wishing.
if you notice, i have great supports from friends, clients and randoms. this will tell you a lot already yeah? if you want to say that i'm skinny, so be it. I AM SKINNY. but so what? Some of my clients come to me because i am skinny!
i won't be talking about other trainers who are fully of injuries themselves and they want to train others. i have see people with such screwed up posture and the trainers are going to make it worse without knowing it. but so what? i can only say the clients may not do enough homework before commiting.

Go on supporting on what you believe in, there's no need to put other stuff down.

thank you for reporting me, keep me in check what i cannot post in the forum. Sometimes, i just go out of the way when i get too sexcited when i wanna share the progress of my clients and my articles.
no matter what, i still lub chiu. but i do hope that you post with a nick of your choice. passerby(insert a number here) is good. dont confuse me by posting with a nick of my friend, someone asked me who is amused and i said she's my supporter.. and i just checked my blog, nah, this amuse is a fake.
i'm trying to visualize how you look.
let me give you a little education about working out.
you were saying ALL who workout will get to 60-70kg easily? yeah sure. look at the no of people (even with trainers) who cannot gain any mass at or, worse, gain fat.
at a certain gym, a trainer was trying to get his client to do a full squat, but the client cant. guess what is the advice? "you are too tight xxx & yyy. the places which i said, remember to stretch during your free time and then you will be able to squat"
heck, the problem with that client is not flexibility. i cannot approach him well coz, he has a trainer and i dont poach clients.
anyway, if you think you are that good, then you have to see what are you training for. if for pure muscle, mass gain is not hard right? if you are training pure strength, then you can still look the same right? if you are training mix, it will be something of my body right?
i like to live in my dreamland (where my clients and friends tell me that i am BIG enough) and well, i am satisfy with my body. ahha oops
but seriously, ask all my friends what is my fitness goal: none, i am not skinny like 55kg, i am strong enough, in fact, stronger than a lot of people at my size. i don't know what to aim for. if you tell me to reach 75kg, for what? just to show you? what's after i reach 75kg? there will just be more talk of something else. (as seem by how you post)
remember about how i said i have no money to eat, then you say i earn a lot, then you say even if i dont earn a lot, why the heck am i driving?
tell you something, either attend opts cpt, level 1-4, read up from t-nation. show off your knowledge. get your first batch of client and get PROGRESS with them. your life will be much better off. i'm earning average $40/hour now and the norm rate is like $60 or even high with my qualification. I am still charging low for a reason.
See, if you get progress with first batch of client (and they keep referring 2nd batch and so on to you), you will have an easy time to get clients and give them results.
i seriously hope that you will listen to my advice and contribute something to the fitness industry.
i wonder why some people like "simi begger policy" which all parties suffer. but i'm telling you here, i am not suffering. instead, i get more emails/clients after so many of your tag. i need to thank you, i'm serious.
thank you amused, lol, passerby2, kevin_chia, CJ etc etc. whatever your nicks are.

it's funny to see why people have the common goal - fitness progression, can have this stupid war.
but let me just state a fact here.
i only get good testimonials that peter's teaching HELP people. whereas i don't get testimonial from other that this xxx or that yyy supplement is great. (i guess their own training is bad in the beginning already then).
it's funny when i stand up for peter in his teaching, i become a blind follower.
and when i recommend nxxt's product in the forum, these people never say anything bad about me.
i believe a lot in peter's teaching, they help me to stay injury free (you can say i suck) and all my clients (you can say it's normal to stay injury free) and all of us get progress (you can say it's normal to have progress) but i beg to differ. All will get progress from training? Just look at the number of cases of people with injury/pain/ache. heh
but then again, when did anyone of us follow 100% of what peter does? we dont. there are times when we will just shut up when he said something. there are times we will ask him. there are also times when we disagree with him. you don't see this in the forum, but i did it during the course.
I got another testimonial in my email now and i will be putting it up in my website soon too.
And with this blog entry, i'm ready to get bombed by some people, MATURE ones.

Another client of mine has graduated. I'm going close to 3 months since i work as a PT for full time. 1st client is going to treat me a meal, this client gives me a card of appreciation. heh, i like it a lot. This is what which keep me going.
About her...
from a girl who jog 5 times weekly, taking dieting pill when i'm still in china. I still remembered that she was complaining of knee pain but she cannot stop jogging because she needs to maintain her weight.
Now? deadlifting, squatting (ATG) and other exercises to maintain her weight, and she's still losing fat even though she cannot stop eating her favourite food - bread. Fat loss at tummy and lower body is just 1 of the "side effect" of training, no more pain, feel better etc etc etc...
Now, i'm waiting for her wedding photo (which i hope she will be very happy with it), then i can get another testimonial onto my website. :D
