ironman
i was up in langkawi for the ironman event. i felt so inspired. the people were great the supporters were even greater. i feel like without the great support, it would make the entire race even more difficult.
and this day, i have a dream. i have a dream that one day i will race ironman. my dad, my sister, my cousins, my closest friends, my boyfriend would come and cheer for me and support me. They would be at the finishing line, waiting for me to cross that line, to hear that epic line 'you are an ironman'.
the event was great and the experience was great. i stood under the sun, cheering for them. eventhough i did not know them. it was amazing.
and you know me, once i decide something, i'm kind of full speed ahead. i just signed up for the power bar duathlon in november. although i merely signed up for the sprint duathlon. this means it will be a 5km run followed by a 30km bike then a 5km run again. but i have to bear in mind that the day before, i have a 21km obstacle viper challenge. hence why i did not go for the full duathlon. i am still on the fence as to whether i should join the nusajaya traithlon on the 30th of november. yes no maybe? i will definitely need alot of training. my bike and swim is nowhere near average and my running fitness has gone down so much lately.
this weekend, i am planning to get a bike. and thus begins my training. probably some time during the week i am going to try a 2.5km run followed by a 15km bike and finishing it with a 2.5km run. i need a plan.
my standard chartered marathon is in a mere 10 days and i am SUPER not ready!
so today is already thursday and i won't be doing much today because i'm working till 1am. so i am coming up with a rough training plan for next week.
friday: 8km morning run. 1km afternoon swim.
saturday: 700am-9km UM loop run, 8am gasing hill hike, crossfit workout with the honeybadgers
sunday: 8km morning run, buy bike
monday: crossfit workout and 5km morning run
tuesday: 5km morning run followed by 9km loop at um
wednesday: tabata morning workout
thursday: biking
friday: 5km morning run, night swim
saturday: morning hike in gasing
sunday: run

langkawi again
back in langkawi again, twice in a month. touched down, and spent an hour and a half looking for broadband device. cannot believe it took me that long to get one. then had to do some prep work.
had seafood kinda dinner. i ordered a seafood meehoon and whacked it clean. also ordered a yaumak vege and softshellcrabs, and yes they were whacked clean as well. i think stress makes me want to eat. wanted to go for a run in the evening, well that was the plan but had too much prep work to do.
the hotel ain't so nice. am staying in one helang. location is a little far away from kuah town but the main issue i have is with the water-not sufficiently hot.
okays goodnight. i am exhausted. plan to wake up to go for a run. just saw my 2xu timing and i am horrified. placing only 40 is terrible. i know i had stomach problems but 40 is not acceptable. i should have done better. so wake up at 7, by 715 hopefully im out for my run till 815. come home, bath, buffet breakfats and then off to kuah towm by 910am.
less than 20 days to go. i need to buck up!

second thoughts
i am beginning to have second thoughts. maybe i should look into a different field? or maybe because it is due to the environment?
i actually dread the 2nd of october and 4th of december.
i am currently making plans to ensure that if anything happens, my commitments wont be affected.

work langkawi
i have been sent to langkawi to do a job-alone.
it's nice and all. to get to travel but this really doesn't seem like travelling to me. i am put up in a hotel right smack in the city. it's not the best of hotels but its decent. its not the best of locations, yet its decent. so i guess its not the worst but its not great either.
so i rushed on site, because my flight was slightly delayed. finished about 530ish and checked in the hotel at about 6. took a shower and went exploring.
but i was so exhausted. just went to a really rundown mall in langkawi and stared at some choc. tempted to get the big peppero box of cookies and cream and also almond choco. went to the eagles square. stared at the sunset. took a picture with the eagle. wanted to have sbucks in the morning, but when i got to the sbucks in eagles square, just didn't feel like sbucks. so i went back to the dodgy mall for paparich.
i overordered. i ordered a butter-kaya toast, siumai, chicken satay and also ice blended red bean with condensed milk. such a fat dinner it was. so i just ate, charged my phone and read my book. yes i bought a new book-revenge wears prada or something along those lines. chic-lit.
my walk back and during my dinner-i just felt-alone. i guess because i couldn't just relax during dinner which normally is how i like to spend my time alone. so my alone time was not enjoyable hence i didn't enjoy the alone experience. and it is also frustrating that there are things that i want to be doing in langkawi but i can't because of the time-constraint. things i want to see and do, but i can't because i know i need to rest and sleep enough for work, and i dont' have time to do stuff daytime because work calls. i guess the main point is that i heard about the upcoming potential phillipines and hong kong trip and now i feel like im not too keen on it. if i'm going to feel this alone in a far away land, i'm just not going to enjoy it fullstop. i travel to see things, to experience things but mostly to enjoy doing them. and right now this travel, is not enjoyable.
hoping for a better day tomorrow. well at least, my sunday is pretty free. so that is wad i will be looking forward to.
anyways, exhausted and enough with my rants. goodnight.

day of rest
today was pretty chill. woke up. went for a walk. did bradley though at a chilling pace. headed to bangsar to get cake. heard of this place called le deux de garcons. hence decided to try the place out. wanted to get the sesame cake, unfortunately the outlet in bangsar does not sell full cakes. so wad we did was made a piece together Cake.
we took the passionfruit mango cake, opera cake, chocolate mousse, hazelnut choc cake, and the earl grey cake. my personal fav was the opera cake. also tried the macarons. such a fattening day it was. but worth the fats.
managed to go window shopping as well. spotted a pair of heels that i kind of like. Its the boots kind of heels but really comfy. considering getting it.
came back and took a nap before heading out to hang with kx for abit.
the it was cake devouring time. everybody enjoyed the cake. that was good cuz everyone had a good time. all in all, day well spent.

complaints
i have so many complaints-but just not adequate nor appropriate to be publicized so i will just keep it to myself.
this 2 weeks is going to be hectic!
todays dinner was good. went to pasta zanmai. i had the chicken mushroom risotti, salmon sushi, and the mini pizza. currently sitting in sbucks drinking green tea frappe. it has been so long since i had sbucks. wanted to have hazelnut espresso frappe but want to sleep well.
nothing has been interesting lately. just been busy. hopefully it will be more interesting in the days to come.

long holiday
so everyone has been having a long weekend due to raya. am going back to kayelle today. it was a good 4 days spent here in johor, eating my favorite food. didn't manage to exercise as much as i wanted to this break. did mange a hike and a crossfit workout on saturday, but that was about it. hoping when i get back today,it will be early enough to squeeze in a jog. am leaving johor at around 2, so hopefully will be able to arrive by 6 something. so laundry and head out for a short jog. fingers crossed that there will be no jam.
can't wait for the weekend. half the week is already over.
initially wanted to hike gunung pulai today, but was a tad bit disappointed. because. it rained. so didn't manage to hike.
however, made coleslaw and egg avocado mash. something ive always wanted to make. at least i did kinda something today.
planning to hit the gym later at 430.
much needed workout. have been eating so much of this cherry liquor chocolate.
***
so, did a 2.5km run, did some front squats, lumges and situps at the gym.
but had so much for dinner. blew myy calorie intake today, definitely.
going back to kl tomoro. aihs.

sinful supper
just had such a sinful supper-thai style fried glass noodles, with tomyam soup, and thai beancurd, deepfried, with roasted curshed peanuts, topped with a pineapple homemade drink. no prizes for the winner-the theme for supper was thai.
today started out awesome. went for a hike. it was happy, at the same time sad because of all the burning going on. i was never a tree hugger, but today, seeing it, smelling it, experiencing it, makes me feel like i might actually be a tree hugger deep down inside.
initially wanted to for for lunch at upstairs cafe, however, it was closed for renovation, so instead, went to bawang merah.
went for wod. did, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 clean and jerks, and cindy in between sets.
and off i came to johor. which started with eating, and ended with my sinful supper.
wanted to go down to sg but i forgot to bring my passport. oh no.
goodnight.

optimistic
currently sitting in oh scooter cafe, butterscotch frappe in hand, listening to feliz navidad, despite it being raya time.
i realized, this month, helped me grow. i am more optimistic about things, and i have learnt about balance-having learnt that despite being busy, i need to make sure i make time for things i think are important to me. so, in the evenings these days, i try to keep up with friends, meeting them twice a weeknight, in the mornings, i try to do morning jogs as much as possible and i try as hard as possible to ensure i get sufficient sleep. its remembering that we need this balance in life.
anyways, the past few weeks have allowed me to learn about this balance, how to approach this balance. here is to better days.
4 days of absolute nothing-ness. it is going to start with a morning hike tomorrow. then lunch. then crossfit. then down south. lets make the days count.

eggcites
a flurry of emotions-excitedness, nervouness, and even fear.
ive been hearing bad things, and its pretty difficult to keep optimistic about the situation given that such negativity is thrown in your face. but i cant let them words bring me down. its finding a way around it that i should focus on not the negativity right?
anyways, its gonna be a long day for me tomorrow. going to bed in 40 minutes. nights people.

relationships
there comes a stagnant point in a relationship whereby there are more fights than laughter-and it is at this point where the dilema comes. do you choose to let go or do you think of all the invested effort and decide to hold on. this dilema will present itself over and over again. the invested effort accumulates giving you a stronger reason to hold on. yet, the fact that this dilema is a dejavu sort of situation gives u a stronger reason to let go. so what do you do?
the problem is never solved. more feelings get hurt in the process. people often say that if you have enough courage to pick something up, you should have enough courage to let something go. so where is that courage.
its not that its a fight about something major. it can be a flight in the slightest of ways-not liking the dog, forgetting the water, being talked to slightly rude because your significant other is stressed, having no time for one another-its could be the minor-est thing yet is blowed so out of proportion.why so-because we don't understand one another enough. if you understood each other well enough, minor thing would not get out of hand, and everyone would not be so unhappy. you can tell the bitterness by how i used a negative negative rather than a positive (everyone would be happy).
is it right if everyone is not happy? if everyone is not happy then letting go should be an easy option right? then why is it a dilema?
because we all hold on to the past-the possibilty of it being the same.we are so used to the persons presence, but is this love at all or even the slightest?
maybe not.

fesitivities
its bakzhang festival today-which in my family means-big family dinner. i like it that way though-another reason for everyone to get together.
today the grandmother again put her culinary skills to good use-cooking up a storm. i swear i look like im a few months pregnant. dinner was ended with amazing dessert-durians. maggieyiyi brought back amazing durians from penang. my particular favourite for the night was the red prawn. a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
happy bakzhang day everybody.

burst your bubble
how do you burst someone's bubble?
do you just let the person bounce in their own bubble or burst it knowing that shoving reality in their face makes no difference?

hope
unexpected opportunities but they are uncertain unexpected opportunities. here's to hoping that everything will go well for me. i think i've been through alot, and to have come to where i am today, is an achievement in itself.
i thank everyone who stood by me, who never gave up on me, who always encouraged me, who gave me strength, and who believed in me. to those who simply walked away because it was easier to do so, a lesson learnt for me as well. its a plus plus for me.

im done
and so, when you walk away from them, you come to me. and then you walk away from me and go to them.
so u know wad. fuck this shit. the next time you conveniently decide that something they do doesn't fit your royal ways, and decide to walk away, again, and realize that 'wait there is noone around me' and come look for me, i'm turning my back from you.
because, i can do it once, i can do it twice, but it has been one too many times. i am done.
you have hurt me one too many times. so go live your royal life.

just rants
so one of the normal auntys came to my house today. and she went telling my grandmother this story about how her daughter is so thin. and as if it her daughters thin physique didn't need any more glorification, she decided to throw in this 'melissa is damn damn fat'. wtf.
i may not be typical skinny. but one thing i am not is 'damn fat'. in fact personally i think i am pretty damn fit. i am good both endurance and stamina wise. my strength although lacking is still at a considerably good level, better than many. my flexibilty is i admit lacking but it is something i identify as my weakness and i am working on.
so, please, take your negative comments elsewhere.

today,
i managed to kip a pullup. its not a strict pullup, yet. i just decided to take a walk to the playground to playfully try kipping pullups. it was gloomy and dark, the dark storm awaiting. so it was just me, myself and i at the playground. i tried, and i made it. i was so happy, laughing to myself like a crazy person. also, sent out voice notes like crazy. achievement of the day.

all i thinking about
today, all i've been thinking about is
...that sweet potato fries
...that magnum ice-cream-only in almond flavour-because almond is the bomb
...that mcflurry oreo despite the fact ive already had it twice this week
...i want sushi
but mehh, i just had like 7 pieces of chicken. so i really shudnt be thinking of food.
i think its because im just plain downright bored today. its been raining. and rain means, no tv, no internet, no workout, and that leaves just lots of time to daydream about food.

dont let people, put u down
one thing i realize in life is that, people discourage, people doubt, people question. you tell people your big goals, you tell them ur tiny progress, and they smirk and laugh. thus is the cruelty of the outside world. they don't see your worth.
and this is where the power of inner strength comes in. and this is something i must harness. often people give up when told they are being a little too creative, too imaginative, some people even tell you you're dillusional.
i have big goals too. they may seem unrealistic and stupid to you. but this is what is important to me. so don't try and put me down. support me, believe in me and be there for me.

little but big
'i was lying on the couch yest, when suddenly the two dogs started a rampage barking. i sat up, to see 2 indian men holding parangs. like, seriously, wtf moment. i called out to my grandmother who was sleeping, you know to awaken her, in case we need to lock ourselves somewhere. and she went, oh yes, the guy is here to chop my tree.serious wtf moment.'
'i feel like such a fatty today. second uncle jang experience in a week. brought my grandaunt (who is an extreme fan of spicy food) to uncle jang. she loves the place and since she's back from muar, took her out. we had the ramen and the rice for supper. we were so full, but it was good to see her so happy.'
'i did arnie today, for a whole 1h 9 mins. lightweight but i really almost gave up in the midst of the right hand tgus. but i knew i had to do my left hand too, if not it would be so unbalanced. thankfully i pulled through. my time was bad, but im generally bad at upper body strength. so holding up whe kettlebell w my hand was the most difficult part for me. tomorrow, me and kaxin are going to do, annie i think.'

why i cook
*me cooking fried meehoon in the kitchen*
grandmother 'why water rationing you still on some big project in the kitchen'
laughs
i love eating out. but i love cooking too. like honestly, i think my fried meehoon is on par with the uncle jang fried rice and ramen i had just the other day. well maybe not taste wise, but satisfaction i get out of it.

hero workouts
'we did murph today. in short its a 1 mile run, followed by 100 pullups (i scaled down to rows), 200 pushups and 300 squats, and finally followed by another 1 mile run. i did it in divisions of 10 rows, 20 pushups and 30 squats. this workout is in honor of lieutenant michael murphy who died in afghanistan on june 28th 2005. '
'i came home and really just needed to eat. i mean wads a hero workout, without a hero after-meal right? but i was dumped at home alone. and was a tad bit lazy to cook. so, my thought process was-carbs, protein, fibre, fat-open fridge-pasta and sweet potato, eggs, cabbage, olive oil. throw everything into pot, and eat my massive plate of pasta.'
'so another hero thing i wanted to mention is, now the people who have always dreamt of running two full marathons in 24 hours, can realize their dreams. bsn have announced the date of their run-11th october, and surprise surprise, the ever-famous kl standard chartered falls on the 12th of october. so all you runn-addicts, run-tards, can now do 2 full marathons in 24 hours. so who's up for the challenge? unfortuantely-not me haha. but i think that should definitly classify as a hero workout. maybe if i do it, they can name it after me-like the melissa workout. wishful thinking.'
despite not having participated in the bsn putrajaya run before, but having ran in putrajaya previously, the experience there is really like non-other. maybe because the roads are pretty deserted, so you really feel like you own the entire road. your territory, your road, all you. and the scenery is pretty. i previously did a night run there, and the night lights are so captivating. the view just makes running so easy. '
so how now brown cow? some tough decisions to be made.

do u even run?
'it was supposed to be my run day yesterday. but it was an epic failure. i thought of compensating this morning, but, i went to the gym to realize i didn't bring my headphones. so i didn't run. i did some squats and deadlifts and that was about it.
im pretty overwhelmed with dissapointment. the last time i ran, my time to cover a distance of 1.5km was 10 over minutes. when i was at my fittest, it took me 7 to 8 minutes. that's how much my standard has dropped. i think mentally, i'm no longer as determined and strong as i used to be.'
'my day started with caramel popcorn and buttershortbread biscuits. not the healthiest breakfast. and finally i had my porridge fix. yes i was craving.'
so its 435 now, the sky looks gloomy. and i'm going to go run before the rain starts. i'm better than this. all i need is a little training, and a little determination.
so yes, i do run. i may need my upbeat songs, i may need my faithful nb shoes, i may need my hairtie to pull my hair into a ponytail, i may have bad running days, but so long as at the end of the day, you pull through, no matter how slow, how fast, this means you do run. everyone can run. and off i go, not just to run, but to run better.

crossfit girls
cher and myself smashed our workout today. we did 2 wods today, the 14.4 crossfit open workout and the 14.5.
14.4 starts with a 60 calorie row, moving on to 50 knees to elbows (this was such a killer for me). 40 wall balls, 30 power cleans, and 20 rows. i scaled down because, i'm too weak.
14.5 was 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 thrusters and burpees.
i just needed to lay on the floor after the workout.
had my boost smoothie fix after the workout. was so in need of food.
tomorrow i will be training my running.
april's going to be my training month.
