spongebob squarepants
since my last blog post, i'm happy to say i've ventured slightly outside my sheltered world of the gym. i've taken to going to tasek some days and tried out one of the jungle routes. gotta say, the fresh air was *ahem* refreshing. hee.
the sun was beating down quite strong tho. but the air was good so it was a very nice change from the air-conditioned air inside four mirrored walls. anypants, this post will be a recap of wat i've neglected to write so theres a high possibility i go off on a random tangent.
i've caught new moon, finally! after 2 weeks of its release in UK, a week after its premier in brunei and 2 days after its official show in brunei. talk abt hard to get tickets. but then again theres not reli much to look forward to in brunei so i guess a movie that big is bound to be sold out for the first couple of days.
also, in an effort to reclaim my social life outside the gym, i attended my first BDAC penyinar meeting in.. 3 yrs? good to see the old faces tho the new faces are lookin' quite young, again reminding me of the fact that i am now a fully fledged adult who needs to go out and get a job!
speaking of which, i've had my first official job interview~ okay i did a quickie one back in september but that didnt reli count coz i didnt apply for the job. i am reli reli hoping i get this job so if its my rezeki, i shall belanja everyone in the family (and some selected frens hee)! note tho, that I will get to say what constitutes as a fair belanja. so no ridiculous requests such as a lamborgini or even tickets to spore. okay the latter may be reasonable for my parents but anyhoo, will do a big announcement hoo-ha when i get my first paycheck. woot woot!
moving on, i've been back to hanging out at cits. so of course i've been stuffing my face with cupcakes. and churros. she has decided to sell churros so whenever its available i grab a piece and stuff it in my mouth. its deep fried carbs. coated with cinnamon and sugar and doused with a hefty dose of chocolate/caramel sauce. i helped her out selling cupcakes at a barracudas game (man the energy was so alive! i forgot how exhilirating a live game can be!) and kept starring at the churros for sale that i cudnt touch. but she overestimated baking so i was allowed to eat cupcakes.. so i was essentially stuffing myself between sales. also, i've discovered the most dee-lish-shes burger in brunei ever! home made patty at its finest! thick lgi tu! i tink its from santai? needless to say i ate my heart out that nite at the game.
so....
yes i've gained back the weight i so painstakingly tried losing after raya. but i am as hell confused because my bajus keep needing to be altered smaller. maybe its the cutting of the baju. today i went for a baju fitting at maggie's for a baju that i wanted to wear for a fren's wedding (and december is wedding session anyway) and she had to tuck in a couple of inches here and there. maybe she purposely cuts the baju loose in case i gain weight.. or to make me feel kurus-er so when fitting comes she can keep putting pins in as if i lost more weight.
that said, i tink i may have gained because my tummy muscles are stronger. i can actually endure a whole session of abs blitz now. waheyy~ up till the end of last month, i'll been stopping now and then when the trainer wasnt looking. but i do wonder where this 2kg weight is going! inda jua kan semua ke muscle kali?? talk abt a yo-yo weight!
regardless, cause my bf still loves me for who i am. hehe. today's our 3yrs 11mths anniversary. how time flies. tick tock tick tock and we'll be up there on a wedding dais (ameen ja. ameen!!). hehe apakan. till next time. pray that i get the job pls!

superstar
i've been to enough bodypump classes to vaguely know which song goes for which muscle move, the rythm counts and what a deadrow, triple counts, wide grip etc mean. i pride myself on the fact that i can follow the class move for move because its routine is locked somewhere in my brain, so even when i dont knw wat i'm doing, the song beats tells me when to go fast or slow.
but of course, just because i know the moves doesnt mean i'm able to do all of them back to back. i find i'm usually screaming (internally) during the lower half lunges, not going as low as i should during push-ups, cheating counts on tricep moves and lasting half the time during planks.
today was slightly a different story because i was forced into the limelight. specifically, i had to do the class on stage with lyza (the trainer) because there wasnt enough floor space for the sudden increase of members doing bodypump. i'd love to say i was chosen to be on stage because i was the handal-est.. but i was chosen because i was one of the youngest around and the aunties made me go up. oh, and also because i'm friends with lyza so i assume she feels more comfortable having a friend on stage than some nameless albeit familiar face.
my friends know i have no problem being in the limelight. i fact, i would usually bask in the glory unashamedly. but my point of contention on being pushed on stage, however, is not that i felt uncomfortable have 20 or so pairs of eyes on me while i was sweating bullets. i wasnt even awkward being next to lyza who kept screaming counts and moves every other interval. no, what i didnt like abt being on stage was the lack of a mirror.
the mirror tells me if i'm in right position; if my knees arent going the wrong way while doing squats. it tells me if my legs are 90degrees angle during lunges and that my elbows are tucked in during bicep curls. lyza checks on us from time to time throughout the class, but i depend on the mirror because its there the whole time and not flitting off to another person.
up on stage, not only do i have to do these moves blindly, but i have ppl looking at me to check if their positions are correct. it doesnt help that whenever lyza gets off stage to check on ppl, she screams 'okay look to rabz' and silently mouths to me the next move when she's at the back of the room and cant come back on time to show people.
theres a mirror situated diagonally behind me which i can use to check my positions, but i am self conscious about pushing my bum out in front of ppl during squats at such an elevated height. so i take my position besides lyza, look to the back of the class where the back wall is a mirror, although all i can see is the top of my head and dozens of expectant faces looking at me.
complaints aside, it was a good experience. it made me rethink abt my not-so-deeply buried wish about being a gym trainer (haha) unless its just for friends, like what i did in uk with vivi and ijat. i had to supress my need to cheat on counts and surprised myself at staying for as long as needed during a plank pose. i guess a little push was all i needed.
that said, i wouldn't want to be on stage again, unless the gym puts up a mirror to my side =p
much love,

sweat and shoes
i do have a social life outside the gym, thanx to fadz and syura bura!
actually, i've been out a few times with girlfrens but i never reli bother making a post on it because, honestly, who wants to hear about how i met so and so and talked about so and so over coffee and cake?
(albeit the same case when i talk about the gym. regardless, my blog thus my veto on content =p)
this post is special because it was specifically requested by a friend. she really did say 'rabz will u write this on ur blog so i'm in it and i can comment?'
so to Dk Elina Fadzillah, this is dedicated to u =)
but first things first, the gym front! (i couldnt resist bah)
i took a day off from the gym ystrdy. only then did i realise i went the whole way last week and that i went to the gym every. single. day. of. last week.
also went a couple of times in the evening.
now how sad is that? ystrdy's day off was actually un-intentional, i overslept hehe. but i went out last night with cits, iman, aisha, aufa and rirah for iman's bday eve so i needed the extra zees anyway.
so there is social life part 1. i actually went out on a friday nite! and chilled and hungout and ogled and stared at other ppl and did what 15 yr olds do nowadays. that is, of course, pathetic in one way, but at least i was out of the house with frens and drinking and EATING after 8pm.
this morning i had circuit training and pilates. i always look forward to saturdays because of the morning classes. i was quite proud of myself today because i didnt cheat one bit. in fact, went on the treadmill for a bit before class. james, who always complains that i dont sweat enough, pointed out today that i was red. i can feel the sweat rolling off me. i cant go into this without being disgusting but that was the first time that i remember literally being drenched in sweat. well there u go mister james, i can sweat.
i invited syura to join today's class since i still had a couple of the free passes ela gave me to give away to friends. fadz had a facial appointment (which she didnt confirm.. so she didnt reli have a facial. but the point is she was out of bed and dressed) in gdg so we all met up after our respective activities and had brunch at dynasty. may i also add that the brunch was courtesy of fadz who lanja-ed us. i was craving for some french toast from fleur de lys, but syura wanted to go someplace near because she had to go met her mum and fadz wanted dimsum. she won us over when she said 'kalau dimsum aku lanja'.
after much catching up and *ahem* essential gossip and bye-byes to syura who had to meet her mum, fadz and i went to charles and keith because i've been lusting over these pair of electric blue heels and i wanted her opinion on them. we ended up spending almost an hour there trying on shoes and in the end we both got a pair of heels each. atupun because we couldnt afford 2 pairs each. funny really, because i also wanted the heels she got and i told her if she didnt get them, i'd buy them. she wasn't planning on getting shoes that day but because i said that she convinced herself she needed the shoes that day.
she admitted plg that she didnt want me to get the same pair so she had to get them then and there.
i retorted that i'm at the mall most mornings and can get the shoes anyday after. she responded with 'if u get these i'm gonna buy ur heels jua!'
that shut me up.
haha. girls and shoes. padahal banyak lgi org lain yg bali tu. haish.
so that was my saturday. the compulsory 2hr gym session, brunch with the girls and some shoe shopping. quite productive i would say =)
oh, also managed to squeeze in a little date before picking up a brother at 4. aaand did i mention i sent in a job application the day before? where for? adelerr. sikritt~
=p
much love,

Crazy Cat Lady
i was talking to a very good and old (going way back, not age) friend, just catching up on wat we've been up to. the friend's in the army, currently in australia. the usual topics about jobs, marriage, other friends' jobs and marriage came up. being currently unemployed and keeping myself busy at the gym, all i could reli talk about myself was gym, gym, gym, gym, gym.
oh, and more gym stories.
skalinya mid-story, my friend cut through with " u know i dont reli find this interesting, right?"
(yes, proof of a good friendship is knowing when to say such stuff without being offensive. but still, i was slightly taken aback.)
so i replied "but it is to me! u knw i dont have a life outside the gym!"
to which he said "u knw if u keep this up ur gonna end up being crazy cat lady"
0.0
..........
..............
..................
he definitely rendered me speechless with that.
i saw his point tho.. so i guess imma make some time outside the gym. true tho, the only ppl i see on a regular basis, besides the one i live with, are gym trainers, fellow gym-enthusiasts and erm, gym receptionists.
in my defence, i dont have cats. and i do have a boyfriend. who's been very busy with work lately.
also, at least i'm not off gallivanting into the night painting the town red.
come to think of it, i'd rather take crazy cat lady than party girl. i am wayyy past that stage to be out and about everynight into the wee hours of morning.
i'll go feed my ten cats now.
much love,
be'ah xoxo

ampar saya!
i am so so tired to the bones that 'ampar' doesnt even begin with wat i'm feeling now. for one thing, i got zero sleep on saturday night. only slept around 5am after helping cits do a wedding order (for 300 wedding cake favours!) which include decorating, boxing and tying up with a ribbon each and every single one of the mini cake. thank god a couple of frens were over to help jua. but not before i felt into a drunken stupor and started yapping nonsense because of my low tolerance for late nights.
i'm a girl who sleeps by 10. midnite, tops. so when i had to stay up till 5 am it just wrecked havock on my entire system. actually, i fell asleep on the couch while waiting for cits to make pizza to keep us fueled through the night. i have no memory watsoever of how i got off the couch and up the stairs and into cits' bed, but i did. wat i said during my sleepy haze is beyond me. suffice to say that the next morning (okay, afternoon. i woke up at quarter to 1), whenever cits' maid saw me she'll start smiling.. apparently at some memory of watever nonsense i said in my sleepy stupor.
with a night like that, obviously i cudnt go to the gym, can i? i already missed friday.. and saturday i came late to the gym that i missed bodypump so saturday's session was quite blah. and i didnt go sunday.. so wat did i do that monday?
oh yes i went to the launching. both bodycombat and bodybalance. but i also went gymming in the morning. to be honest, all i wanted was a simple, easy, straighforward session on the treadmill and elliptical machine. just to make sure my metabolic rate hasnt desserted me after my very off weekend. skali james happen to spot me coasting on the bike machine. james is the instructor that i do my heavy-duty gym sessions with, like bodypump and circuit training.
so wat did u tink he did when he saw me?
'hey! wat are u doing here? come into my class.'
'but... i wanna stay here!' pointing at the bike and a magazine ready in hand to read while i cycle.
'come on now..' and he took an exercise ball off its shelf with one hand while the other hand grabbed my arm and pulled me into the fitness studio.
so okay. i guess thats the trouble when ur friends with gym instructors.
they. make. you join. class.
and wont take no for an answer.
not that i resented him for it. i quite enjoyed the class actually, but it included working out with weights which i wasnt anticipating. however, i felt much better about my off weekend.. so i had indian food (kambing mandi) for brunch with the boyfriend because i was so good. plus, i had bodybalance and bodycombat to look forward to the monday afternoon.
bodycombat was amazing! i was literally drenched in sweat that all thoughts of having such a heavy brunch vanished from my head. skali nya i went back to cits, chef extrodinaire, who cooked pizza for dinner and chocolate souffle served with vanilla ice cream for dessert. and we had dinner at 11pm. dessert at about midnite. two of my cardinal rules broken in one night! late dinner and late bedtime!
granted that day i spend about half my day at the gym so i shudnt make a big deal out of the dinner.. but i still felt guilty about the dessert. plus my weekend of making wedding favours made me munch on the leftover cake crumbs set aside. i simply cannot resist sweets! i actually had a second helping of chocolate souffle because tinggal sikit and nobody else wanted it and it was just too sayang to be left alone.
sigh.
so this morning i went to circuit training and pilates. oh, and i slept at half past one lastnite.. with the amount of exercise i've been doing and my irregular sleeping pattern the past few nights,its no wonder that i'm tired to the bones.
therefore, the plan for tonight is to sleep early and be up all fresh and ready for bodycombat and abs blitz. especially abs blitz.
much love,
be'ah who is NOT going crazy with exercise.

sway my way
fat day ystrdy lasted till 7.30pm. why? because i went on an impromptu/spontaneous visit to the gym.
in the words of the reception who took my card "gerenti nda pegi nie tdi pagi. anal eh"
EVEN the receptionist is out to get me!
wait, let me backtrack. lately i always crave for a burger after a gym class (as opposed to sweet stuff like last year) and this is new to me, having abstained from the evil carb that is fast food. so after class i tend to ask the trainer "can i have a burger?"
james' reply was 'yes! go have a burger! have pasta and rice and bread. u need to fill up. ur so tiny!'
rose says 'okay la. u need it. ur alredi so kurus. just soft all over. tone up sja laa"
ferdie says 'yes u can have burger. but no bread!'
haish. confused saya! but then again, these ppl have become my frens so i guess they were replying in jest. need to ask them in a serious manner next time.
anyway, as u can see, even the trainers think i work out too much. well excuse me, but they dont see the number on my scales! well, rose does, and and my fat percentage went up from 14% to 18%.. which i am obviously not happy with.
anyway, ystrdy i had to send off a brother for tuition at 7.30pm. now that i knw i can join evening classes.. apa lgi. i jumped at the chance to visit the gym after sending him off. usually im too lazy to go out at night anyway. plus parking is such a nightmare at the mall in the evening. i swear i havent been to the mall that late! but i'd rather go to the mall's gym than kiulap at night because i reckon kiulap would be full to the brim with gymaholics even worse than me.
so i did a 30mins treadmill run/jog/incline.. which only burnt off 200 calories, according to the reading. and thats like, just a cupcake WITHOUT the icing. i knw i dont count calories, but it helps to portion control when i knw how little calories are burnt in an average 30minute workout.
i was still sore from ferdie's core training ystrdy, but fat day punya pasal, ke gym jua ku kan. then this morning i went for fitball with raquel. it was fun using the ball and all, but i tink i've bitten off more than i can chew. i now have stiff hips which makes walking feel like a mechanical move.. right leg forward, left leg forward, right left forward.. and so on. swaying my hips help with walking.. tapi bejalan anie bukan jua arah catwalk. labih2x jua kan bejalan anie haha.
i hope i recover in time for bodypump tomorrow. take it easy u say? well i'm suppose to meet up with fadz and her kaka tonite lgi but i tink i'll pass. plus i have 2 open house to go to today! =D both of which i'm looking forward to pasal the first house has got AHMAYYZHANG food (read: satay and tiramisu; possibly cupcakes) and the second house will be having fireworks!
wat with my stiff hips i will definitely be enjoying my satay! i tink i've done enought to deserve a treat =)
much love,
be'ah xoxo
p/s can u tell my love for the gym is back full-swing? =p
in the words of the reception who took my card "gerenti nda pegi nie tdi pagi. anal eh"
EVEN the receptionist is out to get me!
wait, let me backtrack. lately i always crave for a burger after a gym class (as opposed to sweet stuff like last year) and this is new to me, having abstained from the evil carb that is fast food. so after class i tend to ask the trainer "can i have a burger?"
james' reply was 'yes! go have a burger! have pasta and rice and bread. u need to fill up. ur so tiny!'
rose says 'okay la. u need it. ur alredi so kurus. just soft all over. tone up sja laa"
