That’s my dietian-cum-motivator, fondly known as MC118 in my blog starting from this entry. This is the equivalent of the character in the “Hitman” as “47″. MC118 once gave me what sounded like an ultimatum with regards to a dieting plan we both devised and agreed emphasizing

“HERE’s the GUIDELINE..

Breakfast like a king.
Lunch like a prince..&
Dinner like a pauper.”

Hmm.. I wonder if orders to do push ups by the beach soaked and covered with sands like what they do in the SEAL will come next. Need to mentally prep myself… must must!!Â

Oh dang… speaking of the beach.. I’m already fantasizing about BBQ-ing.. haha..

That’s the amount of trimming my motivator friend of mine and I hope to achieve. As you can realize, it is actually equivalent to only 2kgs. It just feels so damn good putting it in lbs for “I feel good” reason. Don’t even start with me, I was going measure it by grams!

It is important to set small achievable goals to keep one motivated when you see improvements, no matter how small it may be. This will help you achieve the bigger goal eventually.

Anyways, to a lot of folks, this goal in achieving this 2kgs in 6 weeks is actually peanuts but the goal here is to trim without (minimum) feeling miserable and burned out.

So, the agreement is to:

1. NOT skip dinner (this is important.. ahem! the agreement is to eat like a pauper)
2. NO practicing of dieting techniques like “Ashwin’s Diet”. (will blog about this guy later)
3. At least twice a week of cardio work out. (Minimum)
4. Once a week of cardio/strength training of a different dicilipine. (e.g. hike/swim)
5. Have fun and enjoy food without restrictions on weekends.

Anyways… will be posting some Chinese New Year pics as soon as I have time. CNY was excellent. Hmm.. still have not “Pai Nin” (customary cny visit) with Mr & Mrs Khoo at their new place yet. Ash said he’ll be coming.. XSC.. any takers?

“… a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America and Europe, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Some of the valentine symbols include red roses, love knots, and love birds.“. An excerpt on Valentine’s Day from Wikipedia.

I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine’s Day… I’m off to bed before I start to hallucinate trying to stay awake.

Note: Technically, I was granted guest blogger status when Malcolm had to be off-line for a coupla days. I’ve not been able to help him post the pictures he wanted me to. But it’s never too late, here’s ’slapping’ Malcolm with some ang pows, courtesy of http://janemarries.danielkhoo.com Will let him post the pictures he intended to be posted later on.

On a serious note,

To this enthusiast turned amateur turned semi-pro turned almost pro and going to be near almost pro photographer, here’s wishing you another year of great photography, with loads of lenses coming in hopefully, fully funded by great projects (but he doesn’t really need sophisticated lenses to produce sophisticated pictures). Thanks for being a great friend to us and most importantly, thanks for capturing moments for us. I think the moments, they’re better than perfect sometimes.
