RIP

Black Friday indeed.

As I write, I might have lost my uncle already. He, who has been on life support since his accident on 5 July 2012, will be taken off the life support today.

My last update was 3 hours ago from my aunt in Australia who told me they are still waiting for his son to arrive from New Zealand. She was making her way to the hospital and an aunt from Sydney had arrive.

I am sure 3 hours later, right now, they must either be finishing up the paperwork or whatever. I know pulling the plug is a very easy thing and only takes a while. My grandmother was taken off life support the same way last April too. It is just a matter of minutes.

I will be taking time off work today after an important meeting to rush home to be with my family. Grandma seem to be able to sense something because out of the blue she was asking for him last night.

Uncle, we don't see you enough. Regret not writing to you enough nor trying to get to know you enough. It is so unfortunate that this had to happen and none of us had the chance to say goodbye.

You will not be forgotten - what happened on that tragic day will remain a mystery.

Rest In Peace Uncle.

Kevin Cheng in Malaysia today!

Urgh! So near yet so far! Knew he was arriving in KLIA today but then at the same time know I'm gonna give it a miss this time! KNS! He will leave tomorrow for Hong Kong again sien

Road Bully in JB - carplate WUH2470

For those in JB, beware of road bully driving with the carplate WUH2470! My friend was bullied yesterday at Perling! Last minute had to u-turn home but they were ahead of the queue already up the bridge.



With signal and all, they cut in the queue. The car behind was kind to give way too. But WUH2470 who was on another lane and wanted to change into the lane they were going in, couldn't because t...heir car came in first. So he showed his middle finger when he noticed he driver was looking at his rear mirror.



Driver did not play his game so just said Hi over the rear mirror. WUH2470 big sized driver got angry because my friend wasn't angry. So what childish act did he do? He came out, cut in front of the car and stopped there. Got down from his car and came over to my friend's asking "what is your problem". My friend did not wind down his window but that imbecile continued what is your problem? So my friend wound down his window a bit and asked I should be asking you what is your problem.



WUH2470 said fuck you la! Did the act of middle finger and stuff. He said something something Singapore car. My friends (two of them in the car) couldn't hear exactly what was he mumbling, only heard the word Singapore car.



So remember, if you bump into this carplate, get your handphone ready to dial 999.

Surprise!....Not

So Anderson Cooper has come out of the closet. The world (those who watches him) knows deep down he is gay but he has never admitted it nor has he denied that fact. But somewhere deep down I was hoping that he is not. He's pretty hot! 


But good for him!

The Dukan Diet

Ok, am not exactly fat but I think I can do better than what I am weighing/looking right now so on the advice of my cousin, I have embarked on the Dukan Diet!

My self-concocted diet plan has served me well for the last 10 years but it hasn't been able to get me pass a certain weight level - it has stabilised me at something which is above my target weight but not that far off. And it really is only helping me keep my weight in general but not sculpt the different parts of the body.

Seems like Dukan Diet may just do that for me! My cousin has assured me that the success rate is 9.5 out of 10! And it doesn't only helps one lose weight on the scales but also helps to sculpt the body! The weight comes off pretty evenly, so it seems, from all parts of the body so that the weight loss is apparent.

Its concept is based on and kicks off with a pure protein diet and introduces the other types of food back into a person's diet in stages. Seems very logical and doesn't sound very difficult to do. 

It is a diet of 4 stages and so I have started off by reading up to stage 2. I will continue reading up on the rest after I go into stage 2. I started yesterday and stage 1 for me will take 3 days. So far, I have lost 0.5kg! Coincidence? Maybe. According to the book, 3 days Pure Attack (stage 1), I should expect to lose between 2 to 5 pounds (ie: 0.9 - 2.3kg)

So far, hmm....I actually am starting to feel that this diet isn't as easy as it seems because of where I am at right now. The diet will be much easier to get through if I am living in a Western country or Australia/New Zealand. In our Asian society, it is really difficult to find food with no oil, minimal salt and are just boiled, grilled, broiled, roast etc. without lipids (fats). Even if I am ready prepare my own food, the ingredients may not be easily available too. So am living on yoghurt, oat bran, low fat ham (was so happy when I found this!), canned tuna, roast spring chicken (which I am quite sure if Dr Dukan sees it, he will disapprove it anyway). Even a simple steam egg, I realised, is full of oil and salt (from the soy sauce I believe)!!! I realised that I absolutely love oat bran!

Let's see how I do today and the result tomorrow. Last day tomorrow then it is into Stage two - 5 days of protein + veg followed by 5 days of pure protein (what I'm going through now), repeat till the target weight is reached. Then move on to Stage 3 then Stage 4.
