13rd Day 28/08/08 (Nervous Day)

Tomorrow's the big day. Shit, I shouldn't even online now. Internet addiction can really mess you up *sigh*. I'm gonna make this a quickie and back to study again. Wish me luck for tomorrow. Oh wait, I shouldn't say "luck", it sounds really weak. I'm not a person who depend on luck anyway. All the pure raw power is just what I need for tomorrow. Or maybe a strong black coffee.

Before bed (I dunno what's the time I'll doze off, maybe 3am? I'm a night person)
A glass of milk

*Put on the "Study or Die" banner on the forehead" Yup, so long.

14th Day 29/08/08 (Chemistry Done)

The exam for Chemistry is over. Yeah!! Next week, however, I have Physics (Wednesday), Pure Mathematics (Thursday) and Applied Mathematics (Friday) exam for 3 whole days straight. The hardest part has yet to come. Luckily though, Monday is a public holiday so I can maybe rest up a bit. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die soon.

2 hard boiled eggs, a bowl of oatmeal, 1 glass of HL milk

After deadlift, my back usually hurts a lot. This may caused by my inaccurate form. I thought deadlift depends more on your legs but when I'm doing
it, my back strains more while my legs don't feel sore at all. This is really strange.

15th Day 30/08/08 (Movie Time)

Today, I decided to take a rest and enjoy myself. My friend and I went to the cinema in KLCC to watch a movie. The movie was "Money Not Enough 2" produced by Singaporean. It was really humorous and you guys should really watch it. Although I'm not a big fan of Mandarin movies but this movie is quite good. The ending is kinda sad though. I nearly cried. Yup, nearly.

Meals

A bowl of oatmeal, a glass of milk

Crap. I didn't eat much today. Well, my whole day was spent in the cinema.

16th Day 31/08/08 (Happy Independence Day)

Happy Independence Day everyone. What did you guys do today. Me? Nothing much. I eat, sleep, eat again and sleep, play Meetoto singing game with my friends (Really cool and embarrassing at the same time) while do some light reading. Yup, that's my Independence Day activities. It's dull and boring just like any other day.

Not much to do for today. Yawn.......boring..........

17th Day 01/09/08 (A New Month)

Yes, another wonderful holiday. After this week exam, I can be free again. Yay!!! Today, I weighed myself for the first time during my 2 weeks of workout, I actually lost 1kg. Nice. I hope that is fat and not my muscle mass not that I have any "real muscle". I can't wait what will happen in 3 or 4 months time . Performance for today is really great and I never felt so alive before. Maybe this is due to the holiday mood since I'm always half dead during gym workout, struggling to bench the last repetition. One thing that makes today workout imperfect is I'm still unable to complete up chin-up. Oh well, maybe next time.

Meals:
11:00am
A bowl of oatmeal, 1 glass of milk

18th Day 02/09/08 (Last Day Before Another Period of Exams)

Okay. I just need to make a quick update before bury my head into the loads of books on my bed. After this week, it's freedom. So close and yet so far. No more long winding speech now, back to updating .

Meals
06:00am
A bowl of oatmeal, a glass of HL milk, 2 semi-boiled eggs, a banana

12:30pm
Sweet and sour fish rice

03:00pm
Cheesy tuna peanut butter sandwich, a glass of HL milk

07:00pm
Chicken chop with fries (Taste really bad), a glass of ice lemon tea

Before bed
A glass milk/ strong black coffee Hmm....

I'll never go to the stand again that sells chicken chop. It's super oily, it makes my tummy uncomfortable. I feel like vomit after 1 bite. Yuck!!

I bought the fresh salmon from Jusco and grilled it myself. I not very fond of eating outside. The kopitiam food in KL is really "heavy" in sense of taste compared to those in Kuching, especially the mamak stall. Cook for yourself is always the smartest choice.

Which part? Even I say it, you still don't know where is it either. Kuching is not that big.

I love to mix something extra when I'm preparing my meal. It makes cooking more interesting. Constantly inventing new recipes is my specialty no matter how strange the recipes might sound. Previously, my friends freaked out when I cooked potatoes, boneless fish chunks, eggs, garlic, mayonnaise together. I rolled it into a shape of a ball and oven baked it. They tasted really good although my roommates think I'm nuts. The sandwich might seem awful but it's quite a delicacy for me. I absolutely love it.

19th Day 03/04/08 (No Gym Day, Damn)

Sorry for the late update, studying for exams are more important. Anyhow, today (yesterday) is supposed to be my gym workout day but sadly I had to skip it due to my circumstances. Too bad, my momentum was building. Just 2 more days! 2 more days and everything can back to normal. I had to stop cooking for myself because I don't want waste too much of time. I better off focusing things that are more important. Seriously, fitting school life and gym life in my already hectic routine is tiring.

Meals
09:00am
2 hard boiled eggs, a bowl of cereal, a banana, a glass of HL milk

11:00am
Dry wantan noodles (I shouldn't be eating this, it's sin)

03:00pm
Cheesy tuna peanut butter sandwich

07:00pm
Chicken chop rice with tomatoes

Before bed (02:00am )
A glass of HL milk

It's official, I eat crap during exam period. After tomorrow though, I'm going to cook for myself.

Haha. Seriously, you're joking right? Not in a million years I'll throw out the books. It's my obsession.

Now
Books>>>Training

Future (Maybe)
Books=Training

Not going to happen
Training>>>Books

By the way, Happy Birthday. Congrats for getting old.

20th Day 04/09/08 (2 More Exams to Go)

I feel really tired. 4 hours of sleep can really deteriorate your mind. Anyhow, I just finished my Pure Mathematics exam today and I'm so disappoint in my ability. I could do better and yet I still committed crime of carelessness not once but twice.

Another day of rest and I feel something is lacking. It's strange, skipping gym workout actually makes me uneasy and restless as if I miss out my favourite TV shows. I hope my new gym life doesn't hold too much on my social life.

Meals
06:00am
Wholemeal tuna sandwich, a glass of HL milk

11:00am
Chicken drumstick rice

03:00pm
Cheesy tuna peanut butter sandwich, a glass of HL milk

06:00pm
Fried rice, pork spring rolls, a piece of chicken

Before bed
A glass of HL milk

Haha. Oh please, don't compare me with you gym rats. I have a life, a real life. I hang out with my friends during the weekends just to chill. I go to the cinema to catch some movies when I feel bored. I always find time to read while listen to music. Most importantly, I eat real food.

21st Day 05/09/08 (FREEDOM!!!)

FRRRREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOMMMMMM!!!! Finally, my exam period has officially ended and I feel so relieved. I feel sorry for those diploma students where they just started their exam today. Haha, my roommate is now busy studying while I keep influence him to play games with me. I'm super evil and I like it.

22nd Day 06/09/08 (Rewarding Day)

I always reward myself after I accomplished something great. Since I managed to survive my weeks of exam and 3 weeks of gym workouts, I definitely deserve something to boost my morale. So, I decided to do the things I enjoy. Yup, you guess it, books.

I went to KLCC and shopped at the Kinokuniya bookstore. It's hard for me to choose a book because there are plenty of selections. To resolve my problem, I went with the sensible solution available which was to buy all the books. Well, ok, not all but 3 books but my wallet is still hurting but who cares, as long as I think is worth it.

The Final Reckoning - Sam Bourne
Sam Bourne is a new emerging writer and I think he is quite good but his level of story writing is still far behind than those famous writers I known of. Since I have all his book, I should buy his new book to make a complete collection.


Q&A - Vikas Swarup
I'm being forced to buy this book because our Indian English lecturer requested all the students need to do a book review based on the book she chose. I was hoping she chose something interesting by those famous author, Dan Brown, James Patterson, Stephen King, David Baldacci but no, she had to choose something boring and stupid. Now, I'm stucked with reading something I don't like.


Run - Jeff Abbott
This is the first time I read his book so I don't the what's the result. If I like it, I'll continue to read his creation; if I hate it, I will burn the book.


My system of rewarding didn't just end there. I had been eating eggs, wholemeal bread, oatmeal, chicken breasts for far too long and I'm getting very fed up. A cheat meal is all I need now. Hence, I happily hopped to The Coffee Bean to order myself a warming hot cappuccino plus a German cheese cake while I did my reading leisurely. Yummy.

Next is movie time which completely ruined my fun. I chose a low budget movie "Deception" to watch and it sucked. For the first time, there is no explosion, robots, spies, aliens, monsters and psychopath murdering. The only thing I like about it is the hot sex scene but they cut it out too. Damn. The entire time I was waiting the movie to end.

Meals
11:00am
2 hard boiled eggs, a glass of HL milk, a bowl of oatmeal

02:00pm
A cup of cappuccino, a slice of German cheese cake.

06:00pm
BBQ and chicken drumstick rice

Before bed
A glass of milk, peanut butter sandwich
