Another month has passed~~



So many months later and you would be expecting something much more different right? Yeah, me too. Well I am pushing myself quite hard already and have been increasing my intake of food. But, I do not want to end up fat. I guess purely relying on natural food for nutrient and bodybuilding needs is not possible. I hope there is an increment soon. I will spend some money for at least vitamins I suppose. Either that or those protein formula fortified with a long list of stuff I never knew existed. Nothing new on the bench press horizon though. Looking through some of those motivational videos in Youtube, maybe I am just not pushing myself that hard. I guess there is a very significant difference when you are under a trainer. After all, they are in it as a career not a hobby like me.

I am juggling this with work and gaming too. I hope I will not be forced to sacrifice gaming or personal time completely. I am already skipping out on weekday gaming most of the time already. Currently my brain is kind of empty so do not expect me to write much. Must be good news to some of you. Work has been interesting so far. But the show is far from over. With so many changes everywhere, it can only get much more exciting. It is a pity I cannot elaborate more since I might get in trouble. However, I bet some of you already have an inkling of an idea what I am referring to.

Nothing else to report seriously. I did have an article published in Techcentral though. Most likely that will be my first and last one since the editor is already swamped with work. He has no time to edit the work of a newbie like me. It was a small dream of mine, and I am just happy it happened. Here is the link if you guys are curious. Most of my original text is still there, and do enjoy the videos : http://techcentral.my/news/story.aspx?file=/2013/4/1/it_news/20130401171844&sec=IT_News

It will be removed soon I guess. Oh well, at least another thing off my bucket list. Achievement unlocked!

In the month of May, there are many exciting things happening out of office. Two of my friends are having their wedding reception within the span of 1 week. No, they do not know each other else it would be fun. Reunions galore. Yes, I would like to be super ripped and be admired but it is just not going to happen. I am just looking forward to seeing old faces, enemies and friends alike. We can't hurt each other now. Especially those I removed from my Facebook. It might get awkward but that is not so bad. I think this is as far as I go. Until next month~

A bit late

March has been rather uneventful for me. Or perhaps some of them slipped my mind. The usual bullshit is everywhere and you can find flowers hidden away occasionally. At the very least I passed a certification exam for Sitecore. Unless you are a very knowledgeable programmer, you won't know what the hell is that. Prior to this, I never heard of it either. One of the minor perks of the job but it comes with a twist. Well, other than that, the market value seems to be so-so at best. But you never know about things like this. Maybe it will come in handy very soon.

Now without further ado, I present to you my current body


I guess after more than a year of work and some obvious progress in the early stages, I have come to the dreaded plateau. I suspect nothing much will change in the next 2 months. At least nothing major in an obvious way. I am progressing somewhat in my strength but the muscles are already there now, just a matter of growing them. If I manage to eat 150g of protein a day, assuming I burn half of it, I only stack on 75g of protein on a 70-71kg body. 10 days would mean 750g. But that is only true if I manage 150g and I only burn half of it. Problem is, I have been taking breast meat almost every weekday for the past month and my weight barely increased. Maybe I should start packing carbohydrates as well. However, with this monthly report thing, I cannot really slack much.

Today is 1st April, where pranks are played everywhere. People do not usually prank me. I guess it is due to my serious nature and explosive temper. Add in a quirky personality and you have a recipe for disaster. I do remember a particularly painful prank. It was a long time ago when I still smile everyday. Okay, that was rather gloomy. Anyway, I used to play a game in cybercafes with friends where we more or less decimate our challengers. Okay, that was rather exaggerated. One of them decides to pretend to be another person online who thinks I am a great player and I thought things are great. Until the truth landed and I was humiliated. To keep things short, it was painful but he was a friend.

I cannot really blame it on him. How can you blame a tiger for eating meat? It is in their nature. It defines them. Should I blame myself then? But it is not my fault. Perhaps I was gullible. Maybe I just wanted more friends. That is another tidbit about myself and perhaps provide some insight as to why I am the bitter person that I am now. I have 'friends' like this. I never wanted to be bitter. Who enjoys being angry and spiteful? I never wish my life onto others. Maybe only the good parts. The bad parts could drive people insane. I am halfway there.
