Work Day Non Gym Session 21/07/2009

I got injured last Friday dated 17/07/2009. I hurt my right foot and was unable to walk normally. I felt slightly better today and did an hour of exercise bike.

Here are the stats for the 1 hour exercise bike session:

60 mins on the exercise bike @ resistance level = 5 (max = 8)
* Resulted in 585 calories burned and 26.00km cycled.

Unfortunately for me, my right foot got worse and I refrained from going to gym for a week. My next gym session was on the Monday after dated 24/07/2009.

I got home around 7pm yet again. I was determined to do my one hour exercise bike session. I started around 7:30 pm and completed the entire ordeal by 8:30 pm.

Here are the stats of the exercise:

45 mins on the exercise bike @ resistance level = 5 (max = 8)
15 mins on the exercise bike @ resistance level = 4 (max = 8)
* Resulted in 560 calories burned and 25.00km cycled.

I will not be able to do another exercise bike session tomorrow night as I will be going out at night with my friends for a karaoke session instead. As such, this would be the shortest entry of the this week. I am looking forward to hitting the weights in the gym next week (finally).

Work Day Non Gym Session 24/06/2009

Thanks to the new exercise bike at home, I am able to do some light cardiovascular exercise at home these days. I got home by 7:00 pm, had a 30 mins break before starting my one hour exercise bike session.

The stats as follows:

55 mins on the exercise bike @ resistance level = 5 (max = 8)
5 mins on the exercise bike @ resistance level = 4 (max = 8)
* Resulted in 580 calories burned and 25.52km cycled.

I am most likely to pull another exercise bike session tomorrow after work yet again as I am currently in the midst of preparing for the Standard Chartered Marathon 2009 this Sunday dated 28/06/2009.

Nonetheless, I did some purchasing yet on last Sunday dated 21/06/2009. I have bought a set of speakers for my dad, namely the Edifier M2300.

1. The box of the Edifier M2300


2. My dad current workstation with the speakers


While this set of speakers does not cost a lot of money, it does produce some decent audio for music and movies alike. Also, this speakers does save quite a lot of space compared to the Altec Lansing speakers I had previously.

Work Day Non Gym Sessions 25/08/2008 to 28/08/2008

There were several reasons why I was not able to perform 2 gym sessions for this week. Firstly, my job for the week was quite busy and hectic then usual. Secondly, it rained non-stop day after day, this caused my shoes to be totally soak when I was trying to hit the gym on Wednesday dated 27/08/2008.

Nonetheless, I was still able to do some cardiovascular sessions by performing the usual brisk walks in the morning.

The morning walks and other cardiovascular sessions are as follows:

Monday, 25/08/2008 Medium cardio session

30 mins walked from carpark to office and back from office with 3-4kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 220 calories burned (estimated)

Tuesday, 26/08/2008 Light cardio session

Work Day Non Gym Sessions 18/08/2008 to 22/08/2008
I didn't feel well for the whole week especially on Monday dated 18/08/2008 and Tuesday 19/08/2008. By Thursday, I finally obtained a Medical Certificate not to be present at work. Initially, I was thinking of going to the gym on Friday dated 22/08/2008. However, it was raining and I was not in a pleasant mood.

This week was a crappy week, I did not do much exercises save for the walks in the morning and with the exception of Wednesday dated 20/08/2008 and Thursday dated 21/08/2008.

Regardless, I will record the days that I did some morning walks. The recording as follows:

Monday, 18/08/2008 Light cardio session

15 mins walked from carpark to office with 2kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 100 calories burned (estimated)

Tuesday, 19/08/2008 Medium cardio session

30 mins walked from carpark to office with 3-4kg worth of stuff (with gym equipments)
* Resulted in 220 calories burned (estimated)

Thursday, 21/08/2008 Medium cardio session

Friday, 22/08/2008 Light cardio session

15 mins walked from carpark to office with 2kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 100 calories burned (estimated)

I was sort of looking forward to the weekend this week. I went to Digimall at 11:00 am on Saturday dated 23/08/2008. I bought a Pioneer DVD-Writer, a Logitech USB Keyboard and an extension wire with 6 sockets. Also, I bought a ON Whey Protein of 5lbs from Ray just outside of Digimall.

I am too tired to take photos of the new hardware and will only do so tomorrow or sometime later. Anyways here are some photos dedicated to my comic books collection and also my game guides collection (bought during sales in Melbourne).

1. Mostly Asiapac Comics and some really old comics which I have no idea where they came from.


2. These are just part of my game guide collections, do note that the games here are quite old.
3. Additional game guides as well, most of it quite old as well. I love reading through them every now and then just for kicks. I usually get them from EB Games when they get out of fashion which would be sold like Au$5-10.

There is all the time I have for now, I will update my blog tonight again for today's gym session.

Cheerio.

Weekend Non Gym Session 15/08/2008 to 16/08/2008

Weekend Non Gym Session 15/08/2008 to 16/08/2008

On Friday, I went out with my whole department for Karaoke session in Neway. Neway is located in 1Utama new wing, just above the cinema. We had buffet and some drinks over there. I probably sang like more than 10 songs.

Earlier this morning, I reckon I ran out of voice. I went back to 1Utama again just to finish off some stuff and to watch a movie with my friends. We watched the Wall.E movie. This movie has very little conversation but it was a really good movie. A definitely must watch for family and friends, I would rate this movie just slightly below Batman: The Dark Knight.

Wall.E now out in cinemas, not many people are watching so best get your tickets soon.

After the movie, we had our dinner in Chili's Cafe where I ordered a Mushroom Swiss burger made well done. It was as filling as I could remember.

Anyway for record purposes, the walks performed on both Friday and Saturday as follows:

Friday, 15/08/2008 Heavy cardio session
30 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa with 3-4kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 220 calories burned (estimated)

20 mins walk from office to Neway
* Resulted in 150 calories burned (estimated)

Saturday, 16/08/2008 Light cardio session
30 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa
* Resulted in 200 calories burned (estimated)

Unfortunately, today I broke my mobilephone for the first time, my mobilephone which is a Motorola V (previously used by my dad) . The mobilephone dropped twice on the floor. Currently it is separated into two pieces, one with the LCD and the other the keypad. Here are some photos of my recently deceased mobilephone:

1. Guess what's wrong with my mobile phone here2. One become two, I am still able to switch it on without any screen though.3. Now the back view, hmmm time to get a new mobile phone I guess.


I guess I will be using my sister's old Samsung mobilephone that she got it free in Melbourne. Frankly, I think buying a new mobile phone is quite a waste of money. Due to heavy depreciation and the fact that I only used mobilephone to call and SMS. I don't really need the high-end versions.

Sorry for the late entry, I was quite sick since Thursday ie. 24/07/2008. Therefore, I was unable to hit the gym and needed the entire weekend to recuperate. However, that did not stop me from watching a movie on Saturday night and going to my old friend, Yee Young's 25th birthday party.

I watched the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" on Saturday night dated 26/08/2008 with my parents. My verdict is that this movie is definitely a must watch for the year 2008. I really enjoy the storyline, characters and the sound effects (including the soundtrack as well). In my opinion, Heath Ledger played a really convincing joker. It is saddening that he had passed away early this year.

Yee Young's 25th birthday party on Sunday rocks (dated 27/08/2008). Lotsa good food, decent amount of alcohol, nice cupcakes and his birthday cake. The best thing was that most of the gang was there. This reminds me, we definitely should have more parties and outings like this.
*PS I will upload the photos of Yee Young's party as soon as I get hold of the data.

Anyway the stats for the walks done during the week and today are as follows:

Wednesday, 23/07/2008 Medium cardio session
30 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa with 2kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 200 calories burned (estimated)

Thursday, 24/07/2008 Medium-Heavy cardio session
30 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa with 3-4kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 220 calories burned (estimated)

20 mins walk after lunch just for relaxation purpose
* Resulted in 120 calories burned (estimated)

Friday, 23/07/2008 Heavy cardio session
45 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa with 2kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 300 calories burned (estimated)

15 mins walked towards the carpark with 5-6kg of baby diapers
* Resulted in 150 calories burned (estimated), I helped my colleague to carry those for her baby. (There was a Momy Poko sales on all baby products on Friday)

20 mins walk after dinner just for relaxation purpose
* Resulted in 120 calories burned (estimated)

Monday, 28/07/2008 Light cardio session
30 mins walk from carpark to office and vice versa with 2kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 200 calories burned (estimated)

20 mins walk after lunch just for relaxation purpose
* Resulted in 120 calories burned (estimated)

I am looking forward for the gym session tomorrow, that is Tuesday. It has been almost a week for me without a gym session in between. I reckon I am almost fully recovered and in need of some good old super-sets weight exercises and some sweaty cardiovascular exercises just to burn off calories from food and alcohol.

PS. There will be no photo entry here as I have no idea how to move the photos using Internet Explorer. What a bummer.....

Work Day Non Gym Session 18/06/2008 to 21/06/2008

Work Day Non Gym Session 18/06/2008 to 21/06/2008

I was again really busy at work as usual, I did not have enough time to do any gym sessions. Thankfully with the 15-30 mins walking I do per day could prove sort of useful in times like this.

Also on Friday night, I watched The Incredible Hulk with friends. It was definitely better than the first one. The story flow was pretty good but a tad too short.

Anyway the stats for those walks are as follows:

Wednesday, 18/06/2006, Light cardio session
15 mins walked from carpark to office with 3kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 100 calories burned (estimated)

Thursday, 19/06/2006, Medium cardio session
1. 15 mins walked from carpark to office with 3kg worth of stuff
2. 30 mins walked during lunch time and to buy movie tickets without any weights
* Resulted in 220 calories burned (estimated)

Friday, 20/06/2006, Heavy cardio session
1. 30 mins walked from carpark to office and vice versa with 3kg worth of stuff
2. 60 mins walking for dinner and in MPH bookstore then to the cinema with 2kg worth of books
* Resulted in 350 calories burned (estimated)

Saturday, 21/06/2006, Inter Department Games (IDG KPMG) 2008
20 mins of tug of war with audit team and administration and infrastructure team
* Resulted in 120 calories burned (estimated)

The IDG on Saturday which was held at Astaka field at 11 am was a break from the norm event. I participated in the Tug of War, most team mates in this sport was drafted from the soccer team. Our Tax Department team won first place this year but our tug-of-war was unable to defend the title this year. We got 3rd place instead which is quite a sad story.

Interesting that I am having heavy DOMS on my right arm and my back after the tug of war sessions far more severe than my usual gym sessions. This is probably the sign to increase intensity for my workout, I guess.

I did not take any photos in regards to the tug of war. Fear not, I have decided to attached some Skytrex Adventure photos that was taken last year 2007. The photos are as follows:


* Wow, I definitely look a lot chubbier last year. Will try to keep up with my workout without skipping any.

Nothing much to report other than work is getting busier for some reasons. I am just trying to live through it without having a headache at the moment.

Here are some photos that were taken during the Malacca Trip few weeks ago:

Work Day Non-Gym Session 05/05/2008

Work Day Non-Gym Session 05/05/2008

Today is the first day I stepped into the new office in OneWorld Hotel area. It took me like 17 mins from the carpark in the new wing of 1Utama. Fortunately, today was also casual wear day which makes it one of the rare occasions where professionals are able to wear T-shirts and jeans. (Believe me, this rarely or ever happens) Given that, I did not have enough sleep the night before about 5 hours or less, I was having a farewell for Jeff (with some amount of alcohol) who will be heading to Dubai for work.

When arrived in the office, there were many sealed boxes that was moved last Monday as well as last Saturday. There was a lot of carrying boxes, unpacking, arranging and so on. This lasted from 8:30 am all the way to 4:00 pm. We had an hour lunch break as usual from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm.

I reckon that this amount of exercises sort of mirrored my usual gym sessions or probably more.

Here are the stats:

17 mins walking from carpark to office while carrying 3-4kg (this is going to be a daily thing except for the box I carried today)
* Resulted in ???? calories burned and walked the entire 1Utama shopping complex.

6 hours and 30 mins of unpacking, carrying boxes, arranging folders, cleaning, moving furnitures and etc
* Resulted in ???? calories burned and a very tired and worn out me.

I won't be heading to the gym tomorrow as I am really tired. I think Wednesday seems to be a plausible option. For now it's time for me to retire to my nice and cool bed.

Cheers

Work Day (Non-Gym) Session 25/04/2008

After work today, I had to rearrange and carry about 40++ heavy boxes around the room. I started doing this at 5:30 pm and finished the entire ordeal by 7:30 pm. I did not feel exhausted or tired after this ordeal until the very next day.

On Saturday my whole body was aching mainly from my legs and my back. Maybe it's the sign of I am getting too old for this.

The stats are as follows:
2 hours of moving 40++ boxes ranging from 15kg to 30kg
*Resulted in calories burned = ????

Anyway there will be more moving on Monday as the whole company will be relocating to OneWorld Hotel (within 1Utama area). I will be coordinating the move from 9:00 am and hopefully not to 10:00pm.

Thanks for reading. Cheers

Work day (Non-Gym) session 21/04/2008

Today I have to carry financial statements from the government office again. Fortunately, it was not that heavy. I had to stay back at work till 9 pm to pack my stuff, which is further more financial statements and folders that weight quite a bit between 2-3 kg.

Anyway here are the stats:

30 mins carrying around 3-5kg of financial statements. *Resulted in calories burned = ??? calories

1 hour of carrying around 3-5kg of financial statements for filing purposes * Resulted in calories burned = ??? calories

5 minus of 3x1 lifting 3 boxes of 20-30kg worth of files into the storeroom * Resulted in calories burned = ??? calories

Hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to hit the gym. Frankly moving boxes and financial statements is quite tiring, can't wait till we moved to the new place because I would be able to concentrate in the gym for good, I hope.

Below is a photo of the blood donation in Taman Megah Temple on Sunday 20/04/2008

Work day (Non-Gym) session 17/04/2008
Today I did not go to gym as per indicated in the title, instead I was carrying the financial statements everywhere which more or less weight about 4-6kg for like 30 minutes.

Again after work, I pack the folder from the steel cabinets into the boxes, most folders weight from 2-3kg and there was six boxes full of it. Took me a good 45 mins to do take it out from the steel cabinets and arranged it in the six boxes. I reckon is more of a cardiovascular exercises as the folder was not heavy per se.

Anyway here are the stats:

Carrying financial statements @ 4-6 kg for 30 minutes
* Resulted in calories burned = ????
Taking out folders from steel cabinets and filling up each boxes @2-3kg per folder for 45 minutes
* Resulted in calories burned = ????

This photo was taken from the 2 bedroom unit in Ritz Carlton Hotel, each bedroom have a plasma tv (oh yeah) , total cost = USD150 per night (luckily not I pay)

Again I have to proceed to one of the government office to extract financials statements. Fortunately today, I have someone to accompany me for the extractions. Therefore, I did not required to carry like 5-8kg of financials around. Instead, I believe to carry about 4-5kg of financials statements tops.

Carrying financial statements and walking around for 30 mins
*Resulted in calories burned = ????

I am really in anticipation of my gym session on Tuesday, 15/04/2008 after one week of hiatus. Hopefully I will not suffer any strength loss upon my first day.

Work day (Non-Gym) session 11/04/2008

Work day (Non-Gym) session 11/04/2008

I have decided not to hit the gym this week at all as my joints and body aches like there is no tomorrow. I have seen two doctors and none have provided me a medical certificate. Well, it seems to be alright. Thanks to all the pains, I have taken some painkillers on Wednesday this week 09/04/2008.

However, thanks to my job requirements today I have to carry 5-10kg worth of financial statements everywhere for like 30-45 minutes.

30-45 mins carrying 5-10kg stuff walking
* Resulted in calories burned = ????

After returning from doing that, I would have then moved like 3-4 heavy boxes from the bottom to the top one after another.

3-4x Compound lifting @ 30-40kg each

To some extent it seems that I can't take a break as well. Next Monday, I would have to do something similar of walking around with 5-10kg or even more financial statements. Argh!!

* Please note that I can't wait to get back to gym to hit both cardio and weights training nuts. I think I am addicted to gym like drugs......hhmmmm...

Work Day Non-Gym Session 04/04/2008

Work Day Non-Gym Session 04/04/2008

Due to the fact that my employer is going to move to OneWorld Hotel (1 Utama) by 1st of May which so happens to be my birthday and a public holiday as well, I've been moving files up and down for like 1 hour.

Also thanks to the lighting during the storm on Friday, my friend's computer was toasted by the lighting, so was my dad's modem/router, printer, 7 USB port (external) and Network LAN card (yes it is a really old computer whereby its built-in LAN card was kaput since who knows when.)

Anyway, we went to Digimall. I help my friend to carry his entire CPU (which is about 8-10kg approximately up and down as well for like 30 mins).

Lesson learned, do NOT switch on the computer during rainy days especially if there's lighting around.

Carrying files (3-5kg) up and down for 1 hour
* Resulted = ??? calories burned

Carrying entire CPU (8-10kg) up and down as well for 30 mins
* Resulted = ??? calories burned

In the end of Friday, I was so tired that I fall asleep not soon after.....argh....
