Dear bloggie,
Today was my bi weekly blood pressure checkup to see if my meds was working or not. I have been changing clinic for a few times already, mostly cause the doctors seem to don't really care bout wtf is triggering my high blood pressure. Most just gimme the "Just pop a pill" solution.
Well, I'm more happy with the latest clinic that I'm currently goin to. The doc at least seems interested in finding the cause of my condition as well as looking at a long term solution (which doesn't involve popping pills) and to fix (or reduce) my condition. My blood pressure 2 weeks ago was 158/90 as I went off popping pills from the last clinic I visited, today it was 124/80. The doc told me he plans to continue me on this treatment and asked me to jaga my diet (less fat n salt food). His plan is to lower my blood pressure further via proper diet then change my meds to a more smaller "Oomph" one till the stage I can finally go off it.
Anyway, back to the reason why I'm bloggin tis entry bout my visit to the doc... The doc told me something rather funny which I deem as pretty funny stuff worth bloggin about. The doc was ranting about my high blood pressure is rather abnormal for someone my age... And can lead to a whole lot of other problems if I don't get it under control... Diabetes, heart attack, blablabla... Then he told me that actually for someone my age, as good way to see if your heart is ok or not is thru ur erection! I accidentally laughed my arse out when I heard tis... Seeing me laugh my arse out, he went to actually take a medical book and flip to the pages where the was actually a pix of a heart and a blood vein in the penis. He explain that heart attack can be caused by blockage in the veins, and when someone has problem erecting, it could mean the vein in the penis has a blockage. He even added for someone my age, I should be having erecting every morning... >_<'
So guys... Do u have a healthy heart (or having u daily erection every morning)? Hahhaaha...
Dear bloggie,
Taken from wikipedia:
"In his afterword, Jin Yong mentions that The Smiling, Proud Wanderer can be read as a political allegory disguised as a wuxia novel. As an allegory, it can happen in "any dynasty or organisation".
Although Jin Yong did not leave any unequivocal evidence, many people believe that characters and factions in the book are representations of people and great powers of the late 1960s, the time when the novel was written. One popular interpretation believes that the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance represents the Soviet Union, with its chief Zuo Lengchan as a personification of Joseph Stalin, while the Sun Moon Holy Cult emblematises China with Dongfang Bubai symbolising Mao Zedong. The other sects, including Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei, represent NATO and countries aligned with the United States. This idea relates very well to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the world is split into three superpowers: Oceania, Eurasia, and East Asia.
This heavily politics related book is written from an interesting perspective. Instead of looking at the situation from the point of view of a politician who is either seeking to start a rebellion or struggling to keep the world peaceful, the main character Linghu Chong is a lonely individual who does not seek supremacy in a power-driven world."
Wow... Hard to believe the crap people think of... It's a damn wuxia story, Dogdammit!!! Whacky kungfu names, explosions, superhuman fights, more explosions, eccentric characters, alot more explosion... Duh...

Dear bloggie,
Taken the body composition test at Midvalley's Fitness Concept shop. Just have to stand on the machine and let the dude input some parameters like age and height. Then with the weight the machine taken, it will calculate ur body composition. So without further ado, my body composition results:
Body Type: Standard
Gender: Male
Age: [Censored]
Height: 174cm
Weight: 65.8kg
BMI: 21.7
BMR: 1527kcal
Fat%: 16.3%
Fat Mass: 10.7kg
FFM: 55.1kg
TBW: 40.3kg
Target BF%: 23%
Predicted weight: 71.5kg
Predicted fat mass: 16.4kg
Fat to gain: 5.7kg (WTF!!??)
Hahaha... Based on the stats, I not fat enuff... Sadly, I think my muscle no improvement, based on my weight. Was already 65kg, a year ago... Though I think I drop 1% for body fat, I recall I was 17.xxx% one a year ago...
Still got 3-4 months for the 1 year cycle to end... Dunno can gain atleast another 0.5kg ar not in that time frame. At least my weight return to 65kg level, it took a sharp drop after last year's Penang bridge marathon, teetering around 63kg. My deduction on why my muscle no grow is most likely I do less weights nowdays. I mean, between yoga, pilates, running and weight... I think very hard to fit all 4 into my schedule. I some more want to try out Pilates reformer training... Dunno how to organize time for all these activities. The main issue is probably the fact I can at most workout 2 hours max a day and will need at least 1 day off any physical activity, hence it's hard to juggle between these activities.
