Its the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year. I'm telling you, I don't really feel the festivities. This has to be the most boring CNY ever. Probably has a lot to do with my family not returning to my dad's hometown (in Setiawan), nor my mom's (in Penang). I literally spent the 2 entire days in my room, refusing to leave it, and even when I did, I refused to put on any clothes, instead prefering to walk around in my boxer shorts.
When I finally got my butt moving, I went to an early reunion dinner on Sunday (22-1-2012). I didn't enjoy the food at all but it was nice to have the whole family present (sans Kathryn). After the reunion dinner Desmond brought me in to Fitness First @ the Curve to show me some exercise routines. I intended to have a quick work-out there but ended up not doing anything, on account of me forgetting to bring me shorts. But Desmond did show me around, and I got some pretty interesting information I hope to incorporate into my work-out soonest possible.
Anyways, it would be 2 days later before I finally got some working-out done. I was totally desperate. I felt fat and inactive and I drastically cut down my food intake out of fear of getting fat. Can you believe my first 2 months of gym work is so filled with drama and challenges? Shitsnacks. If I survive this, I'll going for the Mr. Universe crown. Should be slightly easier I think.
I rushed into the gym on Tuesday (2nd Day of the Chinese New Year) late afternoon. I felt I spent a fair bit of time with my family already so I was ready to break free. What followed was the most intensive of my work-outs yet.
