The One With The Wicked Healthy Stride

Perhaps I was born with the innate lust for vegetables, soy based products, and mushrooms. That basically must rake up 70 percent out of my daily food intake or in any given meal if possible. Which is why an Asian fanfare with my main 3 cardinal ingredients would usually get my approval.

Any given time especially lunch hour, I will try to make my way to this old dim-lite cafe which serves the best home-made-old-people-comfort-food-styled economic rice. My usual combination would be the

1. Steamed broccoli stir-fried with soy sauce (sometime with baby prawns).
2. Local home made bean-curd with minced meat and salted fish gravy.
3. Loh Han Zhai (Classic Chinese Mixed Vegetarian dish which consists of long cabbage, cloud-ears, button mushroom, straw mushroom, Chinese mushroom, diced baby corn, dried bean-curd, dried tofu skin, carrots and vermicelli).
4. Dried bean-curd coated with soy based meat sauce.
5. Julienne cucumber with minced dried prawns.
6. String-beans stir-fried with diced chicken.
7. A piece of lightly fried chicken thigh or breast coated with the regular cornflour.
8. Some given day, a Chinese Malaysian Mixed Vegetarian Curry.

Almost like a bibimbap

The lighter version of the vegetarian curry

Well, I had a few of the above ingredients today for lunch, which made Cyclohelix tad happy :D

Evening time was the RPM session, back-to-back! And I have a little hate and love relationship with this roaring lioness instructor. She basically flung us all up in the air with her explosive gatling mouth turret. And at times you can see her motor mouth yapping in silence 'muthafucking' before she bass out the word TURN! It completely thrown me into tatters although my legs were suffering as she still managed to lock-on her eagle-eyed binoculars onto us all, coyly suggesting 'you don't load up, you die' LOL. Madam got my salute, for being one bad-ass commander, not losing to any military camp or prison XD Definitely will not let go of her class! And oh ya, the new RPM 57 tracks made me screamed like a little princess, especially Grey-hound! It's the only track that gave me strength and all my pain gone in an instant. Call it music ecstasy.

RPM 57

So after an evening full of kcals burned, made me wonder where to get that instant crunchy, savory, high-fiber, healthy, low-fat, saucy soy sauced pasta sauteed with thinly sliced chicken ham and mushrooms with mountains of vegetables?

The Secret Recipe Japanese Soba: 1/4 stir-fried buckwheat soba with 3/4 salad blast!

And that made my day just right and night :)

Of The Silent Pain & The Fear Ignited

I had a fall,
My reflexes agile,
My left elbow's ajar,
Protected my faculty,
Protracted by my height,
I survived as tall.

I had a fall,
A thud broke the silence,
A broken arm in violence?
A dislocation emminent?
A fracture be so permanent?
I looked across the hall.

I had a fall,
The fear was struck,
The fear was as fuck,
Who will be the mate?
Who will help this late?
I really had a fall.

I had a fall,
Next would be my goal,
Next would be my soul,
Perhaps shattered, in tatters.
Perhaps ended, in patters.
How on earth to gym?
How on earth I can gym?
How on earth I lift weights?
How on earth I lift my weights?
A cry of dismay,
A cry of dismay,
That was part of me,
That was the happiness in me,
I suddenly feel fall.

I had a fall,
I turned around,
I took a step, abound,
It felted like it is broken,
It felted like it is broken,
My other hand reached,
My other hand reached,
A sigh of relieve,
A sign of believe,
Just a little bruise,
With a thousand cruise,
The emotions I felt,
The pain I felt,
The loneliness I felt,
The screams I felt,
I just had a fall.

I had a fall,
But not yet fallen,
The fear is true,
As ever as truly,
The mind sets in,
And brought me in,
What must fall, must go up,
The truth of all, must go up,
I am okie with my fall.

I had a fall,
I cleaned up the mess,
I cleared up the mess,
Taped the small wound,
Rubbed the bruise sound,
But my fear was lingering,
How I fear my single ring,
I am okie with any fall,
But it's best for a shared fall.

Everyone needs a company eventually for all that fall next time...Cyclohelix

PS: Just a miniscule ant bite skin wound with a dash of bruise, and all set for gym tomorrow.

Reboot & Restart?

Have you ever thought of restarting life all over again, having not met anyone or dealing with them beforehand to avoid all the tragic, embarrassment, arguments and etc. I've always thought of such deep down inside since young, perhaps that molded me to what I am today. The fuss, the confrontations, the perplexed and maybe over-rated gamut of situation resonates by the very hint of my senses. Flashbacks of undesirable pain clogged up my brain and affect my emotions the very second I saw someone from the past. How bitter! Constantly telling myself to avoid being Jason the friendly-party-goer or Dan the nice gentleman, or allow another person into my life just because it is not all rainbows or sweets later on.

Want all that to end since the time machine have yet to materialize. Therefore my new favorite quotes gonna be:

'Let bygones be bygones'

'Sometimes are better left unsaid, and don't think too much about it'

'When you fall down, the only way is up'

'The more successful you are, the more bad-mouth and envy upon you'

'If you are afraid and cannot deal with real people and their cunning ways, you might as well stay at home and rot'

Can Chaz? 

Lock & Load

Back to back classes,

Strength in the masses,

Making that big stride,

Coupled it with pride,

Hoo haa, make that blow,

Jab punch, almighty blow,

Upper cut,

And lower cut,

And double kick,

And jumping kick, 

 Swish swipe, thai the haus,

Combat in the house.

Step step, love it man,

Superstar, the flying man,

 Running left,

Running right,

Running up,

Running down,

Shuffle up,

Shuffle down,

Shuffle right,

Shuffle left,

Jumping here, Jumping there,

Twisting here, flying there,

You think it's crazy,

Attacks are always frenzy!

Burn baby burn,

The heart-rate goes up,

Burn baby burn,

My body is burning up!

Stretches can be further now,

The chopping can be with a pow,

Flexes with zinc,

Reflexes in the sync.

Stamina reloaded,

No longer feel tired,

No more morning soreness,

Energized with fullness,

Like it to continue,

Living life a new.

Chaz

Sored, Snored & Sick Sunday

While I am all up for double or even triple Les Mills, back to back or every other classes, the cardio junkie and stamina in me came crashing down with the latest installment of weight training. Don't know whether it is due to age or certain inconclusive factors, I found it frustrating when my body can't even do basic dead lift after the first repetition. Likened to paralysis or mundane effort, it wasn't like this months back with other PTs. Here I am today, all kick'ey' and shouting in bed, wallowing in disbelief, precipitated with sore throat and signs of flu. I need my Ribena and soup!

Not going to give up though, wanna slap the current PT in time :D
That's a promise to myself.

Cloud Nine

Happy Chaz :D

The Tin & The Fish

As I recalled, two chatters met online in some random chat-room years back. One of the guy started to say to the other.

L:   I am an old rusty tin, resting at this part of the shore.
      I am a lonely tin, washed aside with hearts a sore.

C:  Interesting, continue?

L:   I've seen many a fish, swimming by my shore.
      Yet none of them fish, is willing to come back a chore.

C:  And?

L:   One day I saw, a fish like you,
      Swimming by, crazy like you.
      One day I met,  a fish like you,
      With grace and kind, happy like you.

C:  :)

L:   Will you come by again, will you?
      To an old tin like me, will you?
      Will you come by again, will you?
      One day again, I hope is you.

C:   Em...

L:    Will you come back again to me?
       And accompany me, here shore?
       Will you make a home in me?
       Or swim out from my shore?

C:   Wow..err..

L:   I don't need you to answer me yet,
       If you choose to swim out and about,
       I don't need you to live with me yet,
       If you choose to wander about.

C:   ...

L:    But I do hope one day, you will swim by this shore again,
       And stop for the day, encircling me, this old tin again.

A few years later, we met again in the same random chat-room. This time around, I shouted out to him 'Hi tin-neighbor!' He replied 'Fish, do you want die is it? Your burial would be at my backyard :P'

Oh well, nice memories :D

PS: The tin got engaged. Lonely fish here..lol
