road to fitness of me 10 years ago

my aim before i get back to Malaysia is always to take care of my health and then my house. and that's exactly what I'm doing right now though slowly since I'm very lazy but yeah were getting there hehe. over the years in Ireland with my medical condition and sedentary lifestyle I've gain lots of weight and my fitness has plummeted down to zero. I don't think i can even beat a toddler's stamina right now. so yeah, start to do light workout here and there getting ache here and there every so often and trying to control my diet so that i my efforts will not be futile. It is a well known fact that most people that come back from overseas will tend to eat a lot since they miss Malaysian food so much that they end up getting getting fat. well, it probably has to do with aging too like everyone getting boroi past 25, i don't know. I want to take care of my health mainly because I'm going to work in health department. It's an irony how a medical officer that gives advice to people in how to take care of health can't even take care of his own. how are you going to convince your family members or societies to live a better life when you're the same as the rest? another reason is because i want to avoid disease like cardiovascular, hypertension, and diabetes at later stage of my life because they're big pain in the ass to take care of. plus, i have lots of risk factors for those disease including family history so extra caution need to be taken.

Besides healthy, trying to get fit is a plus. it's more like for self satisfaction. well, i want to climb Mount Kinabalu again when i go back to Malaysia and to do that is not an easy feat. I need to do proper training again and become active like i was 10 years ago. yes, that was the time that i first climb Mount Kinabalu and i was really confident with my fitness. now, pffft i will be half dead trying to climb that mountain. gonna try to do the close one first, so mount Ophir it is or it's original name Gunung Ledang. (I didn't know Gunung Ledang has an English name).

Regarding of taking care of my house yeah its going on slowly but surely, throwing away junks and trashes, sorting out stuffs, making my family members triggered every time I start sorting stuffs. all is fine, all is fine. I did fell sick when I was cleaning a room that hasn't been touch for ages because the dust is so thick that I ended up sneezing and having runny nose and tears flowing non stop as if I have been sprayed with the pepper spray girls use for the protection from rapist except without the stinging sensation. next plan would be gardening, going to continue with my compost pile for gardening and improve my yard. Mmm so friends, please don't be mad with me or think that I'm being sombong for not socializing with you guys even though it has been almost 2 months since I come back home. this is like a big project for me and take lots of time to be done. oh and i can't really drive since my driving license is dead and it is in the cargo shipping that will arrive at the end of September. until then i can only follow my family members to travel around. I'm too lazy to walk 1 Km just to go to the nearest bus stop in this tropical climate. hehe

menganggur period

hurray this is the period that i like but at the same time it is not a very good period to stay in for a long time. why i like this period because i am technically having holidays indefinitely but the downside is that i have to stop all my expenditure since i dont have any income. well, not that i need income looking at the way im living right now.

since i came back home, there are a lot of things that i want to do with this house that i find it okay not to go out at all just to settle these things like sorting out stuffs, and gardening stuffs, and not to mention i have to settle the documentation part to report myself to MARA and also to apply for internship. so yeah lots of things happening at one time and im tired from doing these things everyday. err mostly im just being lazy not tired hehe. adapting myself to this new(old) environment doesnt take much time but now im starting to familiarize with stuff from market. as we all know you can find more stuffs in the market here in malaysia compared to market in ireland. trying to memorize all the fishes and veges names also the meat prices. gonna take some time to know which market sells the cheapest price for which goods. hopefully ill be able to get back into the kitchen by next month.

currently im doing manual labour like cementing tiles, fixing windows, doors, and painting. truth be told i escaped a lot since im doing my documentation for the lapor diri and job application at the same time. hehe. 

new mouse

hello!!! i got a new mouse. not live mouse but computer mouse and it's a razer naga chroma. mmmpphh. gaming mousefor someone like me that dont really play games but still it's good when i play game. haaa nevertheless, i still sucks at gaming with rusty skills after months of not playing games, change in control, and  now adapting to new mouse... oh yeah my reaction is as slow as a sloth

see the buttons, see the designs, see the logo... biting lips

anyway im so not used to gaming mouse because my previous mouse was a microsoft basic mouse and it is way smaller than this mouse. i am able to put 3 fingers on the mouse so i ended up using the wrong finger trying to right click. the other thing is the sensitivity. man this thing can be reaallllly sensitive that 1mm move of the mouse can send the cursor from the end of the screen to the other end. i just couldnt catch up with the speed of the cursor. so i ended up using the lowest sensitivvity of the mouse which is the sensitivity of my previous mouse. hopefully i can use the more sensitive part level one day. everything will be better after sometimes

oh yeah did i mention this thing changes colour all the time just like my warcraft headphone. cool

streaming game

trying new stuffs like streaming... i've been watching people stream most of the time during my exam period. well not watching exactly, more like leaving them on as background noise and occasional interaction. so i tried downloading the stream software just to see how does it work but i just dont feel like messing with other stuffs during exam period and that thing was left dead until now since im done with all exam. it's not that hard to stream actually but it's hard for me to pay attention to chat while focusing on the game. so i ended up ignoring the chat most of the time. haha

well dont think i'm gonna do some serious streaming after all my internet connection at malaysia is so slow. this is just temporary entertainment ^^

after a long time

good luck to those going to have exam and congratz to those who already made it.

anyway i havent been into the kitchen for a long time and guess what, my attempts to bake cookies results to me making scones. haihh i blame the unit converter website for lying to me and mess up my cookie-that-is-now-not-a-cookie. anyway the good thing is that it is still edible unlike my first attempt which tasted chalky as i put too much baking soda. still i refuse to call them cookie.

quiz for tired brain

there are 12 men. 11 of them have the same weight and 1 is slightly heavier/lighter. there's no weight scale but there's a seesaw that can be used though it can only be used 3 times. how do you figure out which guy is the heavier/lighter one?

rosa answered to use the seesaw to smack someone till one guy confess that one is heavier or lighter. haha typical B99

baja

since i was small I learnt to do gardening with my pop at the backyard though i dont really like doing those back then because theyre physical work and tiring but then when the results came out as i ge tmy own garden which i can harvest myself i realised that gardening is useful. i can have free vegetables, spices, and fruits. i even had a small patch of maize and a tunnel of all the peas and pumpkins. for fertilizers, well we have animals that eat our food scraps and other stuffs and they produce the fertilizers. also, my father just burn everything and use the burnt soil and remaining as fertilizers. so when i live in ireland I always think that it's such a waste to throw all the biodegradable stuffs into the bin instead of the backyard because we have to pay for each plastic bag we throw away. 3 black plastic bag will costs us 10eu. there's also the big bin but they only collect the trash once every 2 weeks and sometime the trash can really overload. reducing the amount of waste is always a good thing. anyway ive been throwing out food scrap  to the back yard and yeah they are a sore to the eyesight but the plants grow well.

and recently i just learnt that there are techniques to make compost instead of just leave them lying around with looking awful and can possibly produce smells. making compost ensure that there will be no smell, no ugly scenery, and hasten the process of making the fertilizers. a leaf can take 2 years to decompose by itself but you can hasten it up to 14 days if you make the compost yourself. the technique also prevent plant from getting hurt as decomposing process will release lots of heat and they will damage the plants root if theyre buried straight away. thats why you see there are no plants around the area where you bury all the stuffs.

i will be making one compost bin when i go back home and improve my backyard garden. this will also reduce burning stuffs to make fertilizers. go green lol.

another thing i've been wondering is that i learnt that decomposing process and produce lots of heat as high as 65C and i wonder if the heat can be harvested. i know the indian used to harvest the gas produce from the decomposing manure as fuel to heat something or for cooking. if i can harvest the heat it will be really useful especially in cold time like this in ireland
