濃酒+情重 = 羊奶+榴槤
有人話﹐醉過方知酒濃﹐ 愛過方知情重。
我就話﹐未飲羊奶一身穌﹐吃過榴槤成口臭。

Work on your Abs
"Endless abdominal machines, crunch boards, sit-up devices and tortuous torso routines promise flat bellies and chiseled abs. Hardly a one of them works worth a damn, mainly because their makers show little understanding of human anatomy.
-- Dr. Michael Colgan, Renowned Fitness Expert and author of The New Power Program
Having studied human anatomy, nothing disgusts me more than watching one of those dumb ab machine infomercials make promises that their product will give a person a flat stomach. A lying abdominal machine will not give you a flat stomach, a seated abdominal machine will not give you a flat stomach and 1,000 crunches per day will not give you a flat stomach.
It’s not my opinion. It’s based on human anatomy. I’m not suggesting that crunches or intense abdominal work isn’t important! It’s absolutely vital for athletic performance and core strength, but make no mistake about it, traditional ab exercises will not give you a flat stomach.
I want to provide effective exercises to give you a flat stomach.
First, we need a brief anatomy lesson. I won’t make this long or boring, but stay with me on this. If you understand this information, you’ll be light years ahead of the pack and will laugh out loud when you see the next "latest and greatest" ab machine that promises to flatten your stomach.
The abdominals are composed of four major muscles: the rectus abdominis, the transversus abdominis and the internal and external oblique. Let’s take a brief look at each.
RECTUS ABDOMINIS -- This is the infamous but improperly named "six-pack." It’s actually an "eight-pack." It’s a long, thin muscle that runs vertically down the body from the breastbone and fifth, sixth and seventh ribs to the top of the pubic bone. Worked efficiently and with supportive nutrition, it can help create the much desired "ripples" that poke out detailing the "eight-pack." However, it can't create a flat stomach. The muscle fibers simply run the wrong way for that to happen.
TRANSVERSUS ABDOMINIS -- The transversus muscle holds your gut tight and flat. It’s a thin sheet of muscle running along the sides of the abs, which joins connective tissue behind it. Its fibers run across the stomach, join into the rear area of the abs and wrap around the sides of the body. It attaches along the rib cage and into the back muscles. It's your body’s natural corset! When you suck your gut in, you have just used your transversus. This is the only muscle that can help create a flat midsection!
INTERNAL and EXTERNAL OBLIQUES -- The internal obliques are diagonal fibers that fan out from the pelvis and ribs to the rear of the "eight-pack." They provide a layer of support over the transversus. The external obliques, also referred to as the "love handles," are composed of fibers that run from the front of the pelvis and “eight-pack” back to the ribs.
TWO GREAT EXERCISES FOR FLATTENING THE STOMACH
By this point, you know I’m going to focus only on the transversus. Don’t forget, you have to work all four areas of the abdominals for maximum effectiveness and core stability. But my focus is only about how to get a flat midsection.
The following exercises are the most efficient for flattening. They may seem unorthodox to the novice, but highly effective. Practice these exercises three to four days per week and perform two to three sets of each.
1. ABDOMINAL VACUUM ON ALL FOURS -- Position the heel of your hands under your shoulders and the knees directly under your hips. Keep your spine in a neutral position and maintain this position throughout the contraction.
Start by exhaling all the air from your lungs. Then, relax your abdomen and let it hang like a loose sling, but don't increase the arch in your lower back. Next, pull the belly button up and in towards the spine, without motion at the rib cage or pelvis.
If your pelvis or rib cage moves, you aren't isolating the transversus. It helps to watch yourself in a mirror and have someone put a hand under the belly button. Let your belly relax onto the person's hand and then contract and pull your belly off the hand. Try to hold the contraction for at least 20 seconds. If you can’t do this contraction correctly, you are either weak in your transversus abdominis or your other abdominals may be dominant.
2. ABDOMINAL VACUUM -- This is a lot like the exercise above, but you’re just sitting up straight. In a seated position, exhale all the air from your lungs. After completely exhaling, pull the abdomen inward and hold for 20-30 seconds. Continue to breathe lightly through your nostrils, but make sure you are pulling your abs in as if you are attempting to make your abs and back touch. You may find this one a little easier than #1 due to the positioning.
If performed with consistency, these exercises, added to your regular abs workout, will yield outstanding results. Within three to four weeks, you’ll find your abs pulling in and feeling tighter. Just remember to supplement it with a healthy nutrition, weight training and cardio program.

沙灘中的腳印
沙灘中想找她的小腳印
Wish to find her foot prints on the beach
未見她蹤跡我欲問浮雲
No traces of her, so I asked the clouds
但我願意為她耐以的等
But I will patiently wait for her
金色的光線將肌膚遍印
Golden ray imprinted on my skin
耀眼陽光微笑地問
Glaring sunlight asked me,
問我會否為愛消沉
Will I be depressed because of love
會否失去內心的振奮
Will I lost the inspiration in my heart
我信這事未必可行
I believe this will not work (searching for her foot prints)
無奈這腳印帶著無窮吸引
But the trail of foot prints is so attracting
愛似傳奇地發生
Love is happening like a legend
誰知不能
Who will know it will not work?
情意雖比海裡針
Although love is like (finding) a needle in a sea
怎知道這段情定不可尋
Who can tell that love cannot be found
間裡我愛重來尋尋這足印
But I still casually return to find these footprints
愛已埋藏在我心
Love has already been implanted in my heart
潮捲不去
The tide won't wash it away
潮退了愛尚留痕
Tide's away, but love still stay
(Sounds so weird when translated to English!)

Broken Vow
Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
I let you go
I let you fly
Why do I keep on asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to love than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end
I let you go
I let you fly
Now that I know I’m asking why
I let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me his name
I want to know
The way he looks
And where you go
I need to see his face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
I let you go

Why do I keep on asking why

Now that I found

When You Say You Love Me
Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive
When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?
Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.
When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive
You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

Confused, Lost & Losing my discipline?
A recent incident has actually led my thoughts to go against my beliefs.
I am such a predictible person. I have quite a defined schedule for my Saturdays and Sundays. Go swimming, then lunch at Petaling Street, then crystal shopping, then gym, then walk in the mall, then head home.
No one would have thought a person who combs his hairstyle in every different way, who probably have 200 shirts in the wardrobe to choose from, and such a creative me would be so monotonous!!! I go to the same few stalls for food... Order the same food... Park my car at the same few locations... Take the same route everytime to reach a destination... Always fill gas up to the amt of rm50 everytime...
But, is it bad to be predictible? Maybe not from most people's perspective. Some people call this discipline.
I never thought this is bad until this recent incident when I lost my car keys at the pool changing room. I was away from my sling bag for about 1min to go into the changing cubicle to change into my trunks and apply some lotion. And in that 1 min's time, someone got my car keys. I never got to know who did it. Fortunately he didnt drive my car away. But that wasnt the end of my terror. What if the guy were to come back next time to hunt for my car? What if the guy followed me home (my house keys are in the same bunch of keys)? Has this guy been stalking on me for a while?
For the subsequent few weeks, I'd totally lost myself. I dont take the route I usually take. I dont eat at the same places. I dont park at the same spots. I dont go to the pool anymore. I dont have any discipline anymore.
My belief in me living my life the way I wannit to be was so strong before. But since the incident, something has changed in me. It was probably the phobia developed due to this incident. I'm in the state of confusion and lost! I would ask myself, "where do you wanna go now? What do you wanna do next?" I no longer plan ahead like last time. No more fixed schedules.
So is it bad to be predictable? Maybe it's not bad but it is dangerous?
A person without discipline is like a person without religion.

In Search of ....
人生就是为了找寻爱的过程，每个人的人生都要找到四个人。
第一个是自己,
第二个是你最爱的人，
第三个是最爱你的人，
第四个是共度一生的人.
首先会遇到你最爱的人，然後体会到爱的感觉；
因为了解被爱的感觉，所以才能发现最爱你的人；
当你经历过爱人与被爱，学会了爱，才会知道什么是你需要的，
也才会找到最适合你，能够相处一辈子的人。
但很悲哀的，在现实生活中，这三个人通常不是同一个人；
你最爱的，往往没有选择你；
最爱你的，往往不是你最爱的；
而最长久的，偏偏不是你最爱也不是最爱你的，
只是在最适合的时间出现的那个人。
你，会是别人生命中的第几个人呢？
没有人是故意要变心的，他爱你的时候是真的爱你，
可是他不爱你的时候也是真的不爱你了，
他爱你的时候没有办法假装不爱你；
同样的，他不爱你的时候也没有办法假装爱你。
当一个人不爱你要离开你，
你要问自己还爱不爱他，
如果你也不爱他了，千万别为了可怜的自尊而不肯离开；
如果你还爱他，你应该会希望他过得幸福快乐，
希望他跟真正爱的人在一起，绝不会阻止，
你要是阻止他得到真正的幸福，就表示你已经不爱他了，
而如果你不爱他，你又有什么资格指责他变心呢？
爱不是占有，
你喜欢月亮，不可能把月亮拿下来放在脸盆里，
但月亮的光芒仍可照进你的房间。
换句话说，你爱一个人，也可以用另一种方式拥有，
让爱人成为生命里的永恒回忆，
如果你真爱一个人，就要爱他原来的样子─爱他的好，也爱他的坏：
爱他的优点，也爱他的缺点，
绝不能因为爱他，就希望他变成自己所希望的样子，
万一变不成就不爱他了。
真正爱一个人是无法说出原因的，
你只知道无论何时何地、心情好坏，你都希望这个人陪著你；
真正的感情是两人能在最艰苦中相守，也就是没有丝毫要求。
毕竟，感情必须付出，而不是只想获得；
分开是一种必然的考验，
如果你们感情不够稳固，只好认输，
真爱是不会变成怨恨的。
两人在谈情说爱的时候，
最喜欢叫对方发誓，许下承诺我们为什么要对方发誓，
就是因为我们不相信对方，我们根本不相信情人，
而这些山盟海誓又很不切实际：
海枯石烂、地老天荒，都不能改变我对你的爱!
明知道海不会枯、石不会烂、地不会老、天不会荒；
就算会，也活不到那时候。
许下诺言的时候千万注意，不要许下可以实现的诺言，
最好是承诺做不到的事，
反正做不到的，随便说说也不要紧，
请记住：”不可能实现的诺言最动人”
在爱情里，说的是一套，做的是另一套；
讲的人不相信，听的人也不相信。
你呢？找到了第几个？
茫茫人海中，
你遇见了谁？谁又遇见了你?
