It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October 2008.
If you’re Malaysian and you didn’t already know, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer afflicting Malaysian women of all races. Breast Cancer doesn’t discriminate - whether you’re Malay, Indian, Chinese or everything in-between, or in other words - MALAYSIAN - this concerns you.
It’s funny how in today’s society when we are actually getting more advanced, and supposedly better at combating/preventing disease, etc - the statistics for almost any form of disease just never seems to get any better. [click to continue...]

I couldn’t believe what I read in the papers today. “She gained weight — at a slimming centre“. Then again.. why am I not surprised?
The report talks of a slimming centre in Johor Baru, Malaysia, that was ordered to refund the money (RM12,670) paid by a woman named Kavitha who gained 0.2kg of weight after undergoing 10 slimming sessions there.
Poor Kavitha. I truly feel sorry for her - it’s not her fault. I’m sure her intentions were good, and all she wanted to do was to lose some weight - not too much to ask right? And the price that she was willing to pay tells you how badly she wanted this. And in the end.. what did she get? A 0.2 kg souvenir from the slimming centre she can carry with her 24/7.

Dear Readers,
Those of you who have been regulars at my blog would know by now that I underwent my ACE Personal Trainer preparation course at Fitness Innovations (FIT) Malaysia – and the good folks from FIT are now having a ‘Fitness Fiesta’ this coming 9th of August 2008.
Fitness Fiesta?
From what I gather from my conversation with the guys at FIT.. Yes! It’s a party!! Heh heh. This 4 hour evening will include guest speakers (including the one and only Julian Underwood!), fitness performances by various fitness organizations, a bodybuilding demonstration, a CrossFit demo, info on training Pregnant & Post Partum Clients, get to know Pilates, see new products and services in the fitness industry, witness the graduation event of ACE-Certified Personal Trainers, and some games and food so you don’t go hungry.

Hi DM,
I am kinda upset today.
After 2 weeks of gym and controlling my food intake; I was at my friends place getting ready to go to the gym and she had this bathroom weighing scale. So she told me to just weigh myself, and to my surprise I weighed 63.8kg - thats an increase from 62.8kg the last I weighed when I just started at Fitness First. Imagine the horror… I was so upset that I ended up not going to the gym. I did not imagine any miracles happening, but I did not expect to put on weight as I have not missed a day of gym since the first day I have joined.
I am not too sure what am I doing wrong or the weight increase is something normal. I have been going for nearly 1 1/2 hours of gym - involve loads of cardio… from treadmill to cycling..and loads of other stuffs.. I use to be unable to even jog for 5 minutes when I joined and now I am able to jog for at least 10 minutes non-stop…
I have also changed my diet.. I take oats/cereal/nestum in the morning for breakfast (which I never use to take anything for breakfast before) .. lunch consists of mixed rice (I only eat 1 quarter of the portion of what I used to take previously) and dinner will be fruits + sandwich or steam veges..
I will be talking this over with my Personal Trainer tomorrow and see what I am doing wrong. But I would really like to get some feedback from you as frankly I feel really inspired from reading your blog everyday. I have been reading all your old posts (those that I have not read)…
Thanks for taking the time to read this.. Really do appreciate it.
