Sunday.Last day of 2006

Today.Sunday.

Last day of 2006
Today is the LAST day of 2006. Like.. OMG time flies faster than Superman.

Reflections on 2006
I love reflections. Makes me recall the good and the bad times of 2006.

1) I FINALLY lost weight

TO

Every year I'll tell myself I wanna lose weight. 2006 is THE year I stopped talking about it and did it! :)

2) I discovered bodybuilding

3) I left church

All said and done, I still believe in my faith. I just can't comprehend and accept the many 'laws' and 'rules' and 'reasonings'. And many so-called 'leaders' and christians irk me because of their double standards. -pissing hell mad-

4) I completed 10km Standard Chartered Marathon

Another highlight of 2006 for me. Never in the past had I thought that I can actually run 10km WITHOUT stopping.

5) Clubbing

Legal age finally. But its only fun when you go with certain people. Still, I prefer spending time at the gym :)

Friday-Supplements

Today.Friday.

Another batch of supplements
Today my order of Glutamine and Creatine came. There goes my remaining $150 of my pay. So this month's pay went entirely to my quest for bodybuilding- Personal Training and Supplements.

I still need to buy another 2 more Casein Protein shakes, 1 more Whey Protein shake, 1 bottle of multi-vitamins and 1 bottle of Glucosamine. Another $230. MONEY!!!!!!

Bodybuilding changed my life. I don't drink except during festive periods, and I stopped thinking about smoking. I don't waste precious time at clubs, but rather be at the gym. I am health-conscious.. make that VERY health-conscious.

So this is one of the major highlights/turning point of 2006 for me.

Work
I REALLY wanna quit my job. I am getting bored and once school starts, I am worried I won't have the time to go to the gym (who cares about the studying part).

But I need the money to supplement my interest in bodybuilding.

Which for your information ISN'T cheap at all.

Wednesday-pt

Today.Wednesday.

Personal Training
Today's training- Shoulders and Back. Train until feel like vomitting and fainting and crying. That was HOW physically pushed I was. Thats why the money spent on a trainer is worth it. And I learnt so many new techniques I never knew.

Sometimes, I wonder why I actually pay so much money to suffer :)

Tuesday, December 26, 2006

Tuesday- pt, books

Today.Tuesday.

Personal Training 2nd session
Today, Chest and Triceps. Pushed beyond limits. Natural high, better than drinking.

Books galore
Spent $55 of my Christmas money on second hand books. Haha, I am such a bookaholic, always buying books -_-" Damn cheap, bought 11 bodybuilding mags and 9 storybooks for only $55 at Knowledge Bookstore at Bras Basah. Somemore now they having storewide 40% sale. Haha.

Intellectuals read books

:P

Monday-Christmas!

Today.Monday.

Christmas!!!!!
Went to church, looking forward to singing christmas songs (like, thats the whole purpose of a christmas service right? More songs and NO sermons..), but what the fuck when I reached there it was sermon time (like i was only 15mins late) and the sermon was like the SERMON OF THE YEAR. So freaking long. In the end, they ended the service WITHOUT singing christmas songs.

Fucked. Waste my time going down and waste my cab fare.

Anyway, I felt awkward. Like everyone was like treating me SUPER NICE and DELICATE.. Retarded, so fake lah.

Went to my nanny's house after service. Received $200 cash gift ($100 for my bday- which is in January :D ). My god-uncle opened Absout Vodka rapsberry and kept making me drink. Felt damn tipsy lah. Haha, free flow of vodka, can only get it twice a year- Christmas, and Chinese New Year.

Merry Christmas Everyone.
Merry Christmas Jing Yu, for the fun and laughter and heartpain we shared.
Merry Christmas Shermain, for being the best twinie on earth.
Merry Christmas Esther, for buying cigs from me and accompanying me to bookshop.

Sat-sore legs, shopping

Today.Saturday.

Sore legs!
Woke up this morning, my legs were SCREAMING "pain!" from the training I had yesterday. Every step I took was like carrying weights on my legs- heavy and tiring. Worse still, I had cycling class at 11.30am.

Today's cycling class was the worst I ever had. After 45 mins, I gave up. My legs were too painful. Also, I was worried that I might overuse the quads and hamstrings and not give them enough rest. When I went to stretch, omfg I swear, my legs were NUMB. Like pain until numb.

As bodybuilders would say, NO PAIN, NO GAIN. NO GAIN, NO MUSCLE MASS.

Biceps growth

Comparing picture taken on 24th of October to 24th of December. 2 months of biceps training.

BEFORE VS AFTER

New outfit
My new Giodarno sweater and berms. Feel it makes me look smart. Something different from the usual black tee and jeans :)



Suntec with Shermain
Went shopping with Shermain at Suntec at night. She wanted to buy jeans, but ended up buying christmas gifts. Ate at Carls Jr. She ate some HUGE burger, I ate salad. Ahaha.

Friday-PT

Today.Friday.

Mess at Cartel
Today's lunch time was CHAOTIC. Our ordering system cocked-up and orders had problem being sent to the kitchen. Everyone's order took damn long to come out, and MANY customers complained, and MANY canceled their orders. Some fucking customers think they are king or something, acting all fiesty and stuff. Like fucked up lah, we staffs are also human also.

Personal Training
Had my first Personal Training(PT) with Aziz today. Paid $399 for 5 sessions :( Haha, but it is damn worth the money in my opinion. The things I can get to learn is priceless. Chose Aziz as my Personal Trainer instead of Liz, because I wanted a bodybuilder's perspective of training and working out.

Today Aziz covered legs, biceps, and abs. I really hate working the abs, I swear to God. Aziz told me that bodybuilders train differently from other people. They 'concentrate' at the peak point for a few seconds, to let the blood rush and pump. At the end of the session, had a brief massage and stretching. Just had to sit there and let Aziz do all the work for me. Haha. Muscles aching now as I type sia.. Sore.

Conclusion, the $399 was well-spent. Next Tuesday will be my second session. Covering Chest and Triceps. Yay.

Giodarno Sale
Yesterday Giodarno's sale was 30% storewide. Today is 40%! Haha hey Fishy Poon don't feel so sad yeah :P Bought a pullover and a pair of berms for only $41.

Thursday-Zouk mambo, fish, family

Today.Thursday.

To J.
Guess I was shocked (didn't expect it!) when you dropped me that bombshell. Just know that I understand what you are feeling, and I am always there for you. No matter how long-winded you get haha. ALWAYS.

Met up with fishy
Last night met up with fishy poon. As usual, COFFEE BEAN. Thats like our hangout place everytime we meet at Parkway. Either coffee bean or sakae sushi. Haha. According to fish, I have damn thick skin. Cause there was this box of free cake samples and I took alot. Haha. Free wad.. Free of cos' take lah. Duh.


The free samples are surrounding my low-fat orange muffin





Mambo at Zouk
Shermain asked me to accompany her to Mambo cos she didn't wanna feel left out. So went lor anyway she offered to pay $15 cab fare home. Haha.

Kinda felt awkward thruout the night, cos everyone knew everyone, except me and Shermain. Then again Shermain already knew Nique and Cheryl so I was actually the only 'stranger'. And worse was I don't smoke and I don't drink now (calories my dear.. calories), Cheryl was like "you don't drink, don't smoke, then wad u doing here?"..

Haiz, you can actually enjoy life without harming your body you know.. like EXERCISE and the all-natural HIGH after pumping weights. Haha. Anyway I don't care what people think about me. I rather be lean and muscular than fat and popular. Haha.

And the funny thing was, I met this bung who was kinda.. sissy? Me and Shermain were really amused by her. REALLY AMUSED.

Shopping with mom and sis tonight
Went shopping with mom and sis at Orchard. Today is my 'cheat' day so I ate whatever I wanted. So we went to Vila'ge at Heerens. I ate: Rosti with cheese sausage (usually I don't eat carbs at night and definitely no processed meat); Potato wedges (haven had fried stuff in a LONG time); Tiramisu cake (haven eaten a cake since June!) and double scoop ice-cream of Tiramisu and Caramel flavour (same, haven eaten ice-cream since June). Haha. Nice meal. You really enjoy something you rarely eat. It sorta taste nicer.

Mom had $200 Tangs voucher. So she bought me Fcuk tshirt, herself a pair of shoes and a converse bag for Clara. My T-shirt says 'Cool as Fcuk'. I wanted the 'Hot as Fcuk' but my mom was sorta hinting I take the Cool word instead of the Hot word. What the fuck. Haha. I am in love with FCUK stuff, especially the Jeans! OMG!

Tuesday- Ikea wif JY

Today.Tuesday.

Cheapskate Bras Basah
Lugged tons of old magazines like Lime, Teens and Teenage and some fashion magazines and a few books to Knowledge Book Centre at Bras Basah to sell. Guess what, they only paid $5 for everything(they rejected the lime, teens and teenage magazines).. ASSHOLE SHOP! Only paid 40cents per mag..

Hair Cut at Parkway's Supercut
Had my hair cut for $26 at Supercut. No choice, hair growing too long at the back to spike and the top was like a tush of grass. Dead grass.

Jing Yu said my new hair made me look bald!!!!!!



Gym Rat
So what does Chris do on her off day?

Spend 2 hours at the gym!

Did some serious work for my back, biceps, quads and calves. Because today the gym was like empty at 2pm, and I didn't hafta rush for anything, I was able to really concentrate on doing a few exercises for the different parts.

Weight training gives me a natural 'high'.. Then I did a mere 20mins of cardio on the Elliptical Trainer. I hate doing cardio alone. Its so boring. I should buy a portable DVD player so that I can run and watch dvd at the same time.. Hmm.. Good idea!

Ikea
Met Jing Yu to go to Tampines Ikea.

Trying out the $199 sofa bed

Jing Yu is the kind snake; I am the evil snake

Notice my snake 'biting' the woman! Wasn't a planned shot!

One of the reason why you should ALWAYS wash your new soft toy

Frog prince



Stuffing my finger up the goat's ass!

Then we went to Cafe Cartel to eat waffle and drink.

Sunday-measurements

Today.Sunday.

Measurements as of 10.12.2006

Arms: 11.5"
Calves: 14.9"
Chest: 33.5"

My idol female bodybuilder Steph Park's measurements are:

Arms: 15"
Calves: 16"
Chest: 37"



Although Steph Park may look impressive, actually her body is not as cut and defined as Juliette Bergmann and Iris Kyle. Both are huge.

Juliette Bergmann. 22 years of strict training and strict diet.

Because I have not done measurements before I started my weight training in August, and the increase in size till now, I am not sure what my average growth is.

Hence my goal would be to increase every part by 0.5" by the middle of 2007. I am not sure how realistic this goal is.

Sat

Today.Saturday.

Final position of marathon out
So the Standard Chartered Marathon website finally showed the final placing. So my position is 260 out of 4,928 10km women runners. Not bad huh? Considering how unfit I was last time. And #259 was only 2 secs faster than me. Damn...

And they only had 1 picture of me taken.. what, am I too ugly? Haha.. Anyway I look so gross it doesn't matter. Here it is, I copied and paste into my computer. Cause' to buy it would cost $30 plus.. Siao lah.



Eeww.. But at least my arms are toned and can see some defination.. Ahaha!

But why is my mouth loopsided? -_-"

Friday-part 2

Later in the day...

Went Cartel with Shermain
Met up with Shermain to eat at PS' Cafe Cartel. We concluded that Cartel's waffle is nicer than Gelare's, though not as crispy.

Felt cheeky today, so made fun of this waitress. "May I clear your plate?". "Can I say no? -cheeky smile-". "Haha actually you can". And when she left the table, me and Shermain burst out laughing. Till Main said that my face was damn red.

I am NOT hitting on her. Hope she don't think that I am hitting on her -gosh-. Not my type anyway.

Sad case, why are PS Cartel's waitresses not pretty? And even the customers today also the same sad case.. -_-"

Used my Cartel voucher in replace of Shermain's $30. So sort of 'earned' $30 if you think about it.. Now left with $20 voucher. So.. 2 more Nicoise Salads?

Friday-cartel voucher

Today.Friday.

Morning run
Woke up at 7.15am to run with my dad from our house to East Coast and back. Calves started to hurt after just 5 mins of run, and throughout the 45mins run. Gotta start weight trainings for my calves and shin. Too weak man.. Shit.

Anybody wanna join me for runs at East Coast? Looking for running buddy/buddies :)

Cartel Vouchers
Received $60 Cafe Cartel vouchers today. Actually it was $200 shared between me and 2 other staffs. Customer wrote in compliment letter about us.

Not that I am damn excited or anything, since I won't eat most of Cartel's food.. All fried, oily, fattening.. So probaby gonna eat $60 of salads and a few waffles. Retarded. If not maybe I should just sell the vouchers at a discounted price.. Haha. Cash is always THE king.

standard chartered 10km marathon!

Today.Sunday.

Standard Chartered Marathon 2006
Running the 10km marathon today. First time, aiming to comple in 1hr 15-1hr 30mins.

Woke up at 3.15am cause' my dad's friend was coming to fetch us at 4am. Damn freaking early lah. Kiasu Sporeans sia.



Reached there so early. 4.45am. I was the ONLY 10km runner lah. Everyone else was wearing the white number tag. White number tag is 42km, yellow is 21km, then blue and green are 10km. Felt 'small' amongst the 'giant runners'. Haha. Ate 4 bananas for the Carbs, in the end tummy pain, had to go toilet. Arse.

6am, flag off for 42km runners. Atmosphere damn exciting. Even saw old people running 42km lah. Steady anot.. So many teenagers can't even run 2.4km. Haha. Go runners go!



My flag off was at 7.30am. Damn high, the atmosphere was helluva exciting. Loud music, funny DJs. One said to us Women 10km runners before the flag off, to look pretty at the finishing point cause' picture will be taken, and called us.. BARBIE GIRLS. -_-" They even played the 'Barbie Girl' song just before the flag off.. Haha retarded.

Flag off, off I go! 13mins passed at 2km mark, felt like eternity. Running uphill were the hardest. Overtaking people were the 'shiokest'. Hearing people cheering along the way were elating. So many pretty and hot people running alongside me were DAMN MOTIVATIONAL TO RUN MY BEST ahaha!

'50m more'- The sign showed at the end. I was so happy.. like omg FINALLY! But after running for what-seemed-eternity, I still don't see the finishing line.. LIKE 50metres more? BLUFF ME SIA! WHERE IS THE FINISHING LINE?!?!

Finally! I saw it! Sprinted (at least I felt like I was sprinting.. Haha legs were dying already) and I came in at ONE HOUR AND TWO MINS! PEOPLE CLAP FOR ME MAN! So estactic lah.. To clock in this kinda timing.

Runners resting after their races

Runners reaching the finishing line!

This is the finishing line

Next year I'm gonna run the 10km again. Hope to finish in 55mins. Hope to get more friends to join. Hear that, Jing Yu? Don't be disappointed you couldn't run this year, there are still other marathons throughout the year!
