Resort on the sea in Sabah

I was with my niece

Sister and her daughters

Me..was a fat boy like a pig lol!

Mabul and Kapalai are two different islands which has its own strength in the terms of tourists attraction. I got the chance to visit those islands last year together with my nieces and nephews (also with my sister and her husband). I must say the resort at Kapalai Island was superb!!! Yes it was fantastic although it was a bit pricey. Well, we didn't stay at there but we had a tour around the floating resort. Quite big resort indeed and fantastic scenery as well as its decorations. It reminds me like an Hawaiian island. The most beautiful thing is the resort is built on the sea and as you walking around on the bridge connecting one chalet to another you can see so many different fishes and sizes under the bridge. They were beautiful and colourful. By the end of the resort there was an island build up by the resort. One thing for sure it's a beautiful venue for pre-wedding. Well it looked like the resort has its own theme colours which are green, brown and pink. Believe me, it's a great combination for a resort on a sea.

P/S: I was 72KG in the pictures lol!

Bloody unwell with runny nose

Oh bloody virus!!!! Yes a flu virus or shall I say I caught a cold?
Whatever but at the moment I do feel so bloody unwell but at least today is slightly better. Just
a little bit. The last two days I was feeling cold, shivering, throbbing head and my joints were feeling so weak. I almost cannot stand up and was spending most of my time on bed. In fact, mum had to take my lunch and breakfast from downstairs up to my bedroom. Thanks mum! I love you x

I pushed myself to run but it just didn't work. My body was too bloody weak to do running this week. What a virus eh? On Tuesday and Wednesday managed to run 16KM and 17.7KM respectively. On Thursday I pushed myself to run 8KM hardly. It almost didn't work and I was extremely exhausted. Friday which was yesterday, I tried but I was so damn weak and really bad head ace. So I thought I must give a rest to my body. Huh!

Today's weather was great. Yeah!!! was a great day to have a long distance run but I'm still unwell. I'm just slightly better but this doesn't enough for me to have a go. Well, weather wasn't too hot today. It was about 28C or maybe just a bit hotter. Should be the greatest day to have a blast of 15KM or 20KM run. So all what I did today was chit chat with my sister and mum until about 4PM then off to the night market in town.

Huh...pushing myself..I was a bit dizzy on the way but as soon as I arrived at the market I was feeling hungry. Huh I can't resist looking at the delicious food. I then quickly took my wallet and bought a piece of cake. Yeah it was a piece chocolate cake. Hell ate it quickly like I was in hunger for days. LOL! Nothing much actually because I was feeling dizzy and waiting my sister and mum in the car.

Anyway, I hope tmrw gonna be a better day for me with a better health so I could have a run. Nite nite all xxx

Great holiday and great activity. The pictures were taken about couple of months ago when I was chubbier or maybe fatter LOL! Anyway it was in Karambunai Resort and about an hour drive from mum's house. Karambunai lagoon has valley ball court it was great playing at there. Although it was bloody hot (I got sun burned ) but we all did enjoy it very much. Believe it or not we spent about 3 hours playing valley ball that's why I got sun burned. I should have applied sun blocking cream but I was very excited and forgot to put the cream. Anyway...enjoy the pictures. I don't have idea what to write today.

Kinabalu day trip challange training update

Well my little ants, it has been sometimes since my last update about Kinabalu day trip challenge training. I was busy last week with lots of things which I needed to sort out. My nephew and his wife (and their 4 months old baby girl) came to visit us for about 4 days so I was busy entertaining them. I had to cook them a dinner every night although it was a simple dinner but they did enjoy it very much. In fact, Nanda (nephew's wife) interested to know the recipe one of the dishes I've served them. It was fish cooked with spicy and sour gravy and a little bit of milk to make the fish moister. I also had to drive them around the town and see some interesting places in my town. Not much too see actually, that's why we had to drive up to another town.

Last week wasn't a good week to do a lot of running because it has been raining (the path was quite slippery ) every evening and I can only do my training in the morning. I've tried to run as much KM as possible to reach my target 50KM weekly but at the end I missed 2KM. So I ran only 48KM last week compared to the previous week 52KM. I ran up a few hills to make my raining tougher but somehow it didn't week because few points of the path were quite slippery and I had to walk. In fact I had to be very careful running down of them hill.

Anyway, it was last week. But this week the weather looks promising for me to have a long run. But guess what? Today is my third day feeling unwell and I can't have a long run at all. Yesterday I pushed myself to have a 12KM run but my body was too weak for it. I only managed to run 8KM and had to turn back before I finished. I felt so tired and weak. In fact, my body was shivering after I finished the run. I then had to take a warm shower (well not many people would take a warm shower in Malaysia). I had my dinner and checked my emails. I got a few emails from Aber Uni and some from friends also from my Bro. I replied them all and believe it or not I went to bed quite late about 2AM. I was shivering and felt so damn unwell last night. I should have gone to bed early but for some reasons I couldn't sleep. So I took pain killers so I could stay up without the uncomfortable feeling. So I'm updating my blog today from my bed and it's almost 10PM still on bed. Mum and Dad was downstairs. I went down about a couple of hours ago made myself a cup of coffee. I should have my breakfast earlier, now I'm hungry!

Anyway, on Tuesday I ran 16KM, Wednesday 17.7KM and yesterday only 8KM. I'm not sure how many KMs i could do today.

My journey losing weight

First of all here is a good news for me. I am now 63.4KG. Yeah I managed to lose another kilo last week. This means my workout plan does work and it makes me happy of course. I remember last year I was 76KG and looked so chubby although some people thought I look muscular and well build. In fact, when I got back to Sabah sisters and mum said I looked like a well build teen. But I knew I wasn't at my maximum health level because when I run my legs and lungs were not strong enough to keep run not even a kilometre. Because of that I googled the internet what is the best weight to do a long distance run/ fell running. Uncle Google answered 60KG! Gosh I was shocked because I needed to lose so much weight. When I told friends about my desire to lose 16KG to get down to 60KG they were like "WHATTHEFUCK? You would look ill".

But I didn't mind at all. A week later one of my friends suggested to find a personal trainer so I could lose weight properly and quickly. But hell!!!! I didn't because I knew those people who hired a personal trainer to lose weight clearly shows that they have low motivation and most probably would end up get back where they were. So I did an experiment to my body. Basically it's simple because you just need to do a simple math. It has to be like this, calories intake < calories burned!!!!!!

The most difficult thing is to know each meal has how many calories. Because some of them look like a small portion but contains lots of calories. So this is the main concern. So what I do is to look carefully the amount of calories on the label. If it doesn't have label shows the calories then google it and someone generous on the internet would answer your question. Remember, you will never lose weight by taking pills and eat a little without train your body with some sort activities such as aerobic, running, swimming, gym, etc. You have to do an exercise!!! otherwise you are dreaming to lose weight.

Before yesterday's training I weighed myself and was very happy when the digital scale showed up 63.4KG. Gosh!!!!! That's another achievement! Great for me. My target is 60KG which means another 3.4KG to go then I will be look slimmer and healthier. I can't wait to test my performance if i was a 60KG fell runner. Next week I will show two different pictures before training (76KG) and after training (63KG). I'm heading to 60KG!!!

Holiday at Sapi Island a.k.a pulau sapi

Last Sept 2011 my nieces and nephews went to Pulau Sapi for a day trip holiday. Our initial plan was to go to Pulau Manukan but then we were advised by our tourists guide not to go there as the beach was a bit rough and he recommended us to go to Sapi Island. We then quickly changed our plan. The boat took us to the island about 25minutes journey on the boat. It was great to see some of the beautiful islands before we arrived at our destination. The water was sparkling like a crystal. The weather was hot and the beach was so calm. What I liked the most was the sea was warm and made me feel like I was soaking myself in a warm tab. We were lucky because my niece's friend's was there and her friend's father was working at the as a warden park. Guess what??? We used most of the services offered at there freely except the scuba. Wow!!!! that was really good. Unfortunately, my nephew stung by a jellyfish. That was terrible but we managed to put some lemon on his legs quickly. His legs went red-ish but at least it didn't feel sore.

We finished on the island at 8PM. Yes bloody 8PM!!!!! We didn't realise it until the warden park came to us and told us that the park (island) will be closed shortly. It was about 6.30PM then we quickly went to the changing room and had a shower to get ready for the last boat which was 8PM. Comparing this island with Kapalai island, wow.....it's like the blue sky above and the ground where i am updating this blog.
