I’ve been so overwhelmed with work - even tonight, I expect to be up at least until 2 AM. Doing this many nights in a row has even taken a toll on my personal life. It’s taken a toll on my sleep. It’s taken a toll on my workout routine. I haven’t been able to make it to the gym for the past week.
Oh hey - it’s part and parcel of life that moments like these happen - but I must say that it sucks. They say that life’s like a roller-coaster - but why am I in one that only goes faster and higher - never slowing down.
It sucks that I can’t find the time to blog. It sucks that I can’t do the very things that stir me.
Yet in the midst of all this madness, I managed to study, and sit for my American Council on Exercise Personal Trainer Exams a couple of months ago - and am proud to say that I am now a certified Personal Trainer. :)
I miss sharing my passion. I miss venting out my frustrations. I miss coaching. I miss educating. I miss supporting. I miss teaching. I miss exercising. I miss helping. I miss blogging - and I miss you guys.
Amidst my busyness - I have still read every single comment on my site, and every single email you guys have sent. Thank you everyone for understanding, and fanning the flames of my passion.
I will be back really soon - bigger, more passionate - and better than ever. And a bit less emo than this too. Heh heh.
God bless.
Your friend and coach,

This post is more of a personal one.
For one to see change, one needs to do something different. By doing the exact same thing you did every single day… it is just illogical to expect a different outcome. Right?
In the same way, for example, if you want to gain weight, you need to eat more than you’ve currently been eating - that’s changing your eating habits. If you want to lose some bodyweight, then you need to eat less than you’ve been eating all this while, and make changes to your activity level - otherwise, how can you expect physical changes in your body?
So, similarly - I’m glad that a bigger majority of the Malaysian public has decided to vote for a change this time around in the 2008 Malaysian General Elections. With this change, it is only a matter of time that we Malaysians WILL see a change in how our nation is run, and developed. I don’t know about you, but I’m fed up of the current situation that our country is in. The level of corruption, insincerity, and daylight robbery makes me want to throw up.
I take this opportunity to congratulate my personal friend, Hannah Yeoh, on her victory. She is now the ADUN for Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
I also take this chance to say to a family friend, Dr Xavier Jayakumar, who is competing for a Malaysian Parliament seat, that I believe in what you fight for.
Something’s stirring in Malaysia people… and I’m excited for our future.
God bless Malaysia.

Dear readers, I’ll be away from today right up to Sunday, (Thurs 31st Jan 08 - 3rd Feb 08) for a business trip. So I won’t be able to answer any comments, or post any updates until then. My next writeup will be on Choosing the Right Health Club - where there will also be a give-away of RM4,000 worth of Fitness First Passport Trial Memberships, thanks to the good folks at Fitness First Malaysia. You can use them for yourself, or give them away to a loved one. If you’d like to be informed the moment it’s up, do sign up for my email updates in the form below.
Have a great week guys! I’m gonna miss reading your comments and emails for the next few days.

About 2 months ago, I had the chance to undergo a FitnessAge test. The results were nowhere close to my expectations – I had a fitness age that was far older than my chronological age. It was a slow, depressing drive back home that night. But more importantly… it was another turning point for me.
What am I talking about? Read on… [click to continue...]

Everyone has their personal preference when it comes to their favourite websites/blogs they like to frequent. Everett from firstpagefitness.com tagged me on his blog to list the Five Fitness websites I can’t live without. I do actually have a bunch.. and until I came across his post on his blog.. I never really sat down and thought about it.
These resources have been my ’staple diet’ for a long time, some for many years now.
So here is my list of Five Fitness Websites I Cannot Live Without:
Now it’s your turn my dearest readers - which 5 sites would you be unable to live without? Feel free to leave live links to the URLs and don’t worry about needing to explain your choices if you don’t want to. If you have a blog, list them on your blog and drop a link using the comments below.
Here are the tag rules:
* Each player must post these rules in their post.
* Each player lists the 5 sites
* People who are tagged need to write respond on their blog by writing down their 5 sites
* At the end of your blog post, choose 5 people to get tagged, list their names, and link to them.
* Don’t forget to contact them telling them they’re tagged. Also, point them to your blog post so they know what to do.
Now, here are some bloggers I have high regards for, and I love reading their blogs - you guys inspire me and enlighten me! I’d love to know what YOUR 5 sites are:
Synergy - The Fit Spot
Ninie - The Yoga Instructor Diaries
