back...

hello people!!!!!!

its been awhile i know...a really long time.

dear gf has been bugging me to blog and i shall....

i heard there are still some pple reading this cobweb dusty old blog perhaps finding it by googling my name...

well anyway ,life is all about army nowadays..its just so sickening.

got out from tekong after 4 weeks and now im in sembawang (STC) SUPPLY AND TRANSPORT center for my vocational training. which means i have 9 weeks of bmt..surrently about 3 weeks left before i pass out.

training in this camp stinks..seriously

i know lloads of u are gona laugh after seeing this but ive never knocked it down in tekong...cuz its really...slack? the sgts are like our friends...we laugh joke arnd and all.

here its diff...basically we can expect close to 100 push ups a day. now u see the direction we r heading at...and of cuz many other quirky stuff.

the food here in STC, o dont get my started....it sucks so bad it cant suck more. well yea for the usual fat slops, its heaven..

donuts ,chicken pie, hashbrowns and fried chicken patty for bf, laksa for lunch and fish and chips for dinner....

for me...its terrible...im surviving on a chicken wing for protein....yap u get the picture of y i say its so fking tough to maintain my physique here.

what i do in camp is to have 4 shakes a day now, do some pull ups whenever i can ..and when i hit the gym, i just do some lateral raises, calf raises ,abs and more pull ups...burn some calories and build all my lagging parts.

in terms of rship wise, i wld say its progressing really well. almost 3 years into my rship with my dear girl bev.

like she says, our rship started off rocky...really rocky. loads of arguments and all, still some puppy love here and there but its more of a very mature rship now.

i only see her on friday nights and sats eversince i got into army. its tough but we r still coping well.

she is the best, always helping me settle my "business" when im in the army..a lil risky but damn which girlfriend wld help in this kinda stuff.

now in for all of u who r into bbding.

let me confirm what my dear girl wrote.

i def will be back maybe this yr maybe next.

i def will step on stage again.but as tony my close friends arnd me and bev knows...this time only when im ready...ready to set foot on the senior stage . its a whole ball game this time round.

i read the forums my gf sent to me in links.

some compliments and some criticism. some pple say that" bbding isnt abt just showing off ur best parts like "quadzilla" for eg. its about an all round well developed physique". i cant agree more.

i do have certain strong parts but many more to improve on. so it may take a year , maybe shorter maybe longer but i def will be back with visible improvements.

some pple like lex ,brandy and bev knows im already a little into my preperations. what that means, ill leave it to u to decide.

as for now not only am i struggling to maintain muscle with shit food in camp and lack of training, i am battling illness ..2nd time in a month. for all u pple out there....being sick means being in a very catablic state. so i take caution not to train as u dont want to be even more catabolic. ive been out almost 2 weeks.

and its true i read pauline nordins blog for inspiration, i think i told u guys b4, esp during my comps and all and i do still have a poster of her in my bedroom cupboard.

till than ill update a lil when i see u peeps next week!

take care ,god bless, and lead a healthy lifestyle!

I LOVE MY FAMILY AND MY BUNNY!!!!

There are still people reading this blog!!
I see the counter moving..
Hahahaha.

I think more people are interested in the things he writes relating to body-building.
He is a pretty good writer and researches A LOT.

Okay! I will bug him to blog again!!!
But he is back only on Fri Nights, Sat and half of 3/4 of Sunday therefore he has no "mood" to blog..
Hahaha.


But if you want to know whose blog he gets motivation and inspiration from -
Don't be surprised. It's a girl.
http://www.fighterdiet.com/blog/
Yes Pauline Nordin!!

I find her really Awesome too.
And he put her picture - a very hardcore-looking her on his cupboard as his motivation when he was preparing for his competitions. She's still there, right in front of his bed.
He has her blog on his Iphone too..

Why?
Read her blog and you will know why!!!

You know how some guys just do this sport to look good or impress girls??
But Myren, he's Different... he's in Love with this sport..
And of course, at the start, I couldn't understand.
But as time went by, the more I went to the gym and the more I learnt about weight-lifting, the better I understand him.
This probably is 1 of the factors why our r/s went from Good to Awesome... and it'll just get better and better :)

Who still reads this blog?

I can't stand seeing this blog not updated!!
Mymy's too busy and too LAZY. Hahaha... so I shall just blog for him!
-

This is him now...
Somebody commented that he looks so "Cutie, like a baby". Hahaha that got me rolling with laughter.
So he was in Tekong a while ago and now he's posted to Sembawang to finish his BMT. After which... we're not sure where he'll be posted to.
Fridays are what we look forward to :)

So far so good...
Life has been treating him, his family and us very well..

Here's us.
Before he shaved his fur.. hehe.
Very Happy Us.

In case anybody's been counting,
Yup it's almost 3 years... only abt 3 months over more.
Time flies right? Yep!! I can't believe it's almost 3 years too...
Nothing much I can say about our r/s, 'cept that it's nothing short of Amazing.
=)

He's an Amazing guy.

-

As for the fitness enthusiasts out there..
He's still training and eating like how he should be (trying) .. Now that he's in Army, it's a lot harder. But it's only for the time-being...

He's going to be back,
Better than ever!

Maybe you'll see him on stage again ...
Maybe.
Oh Who Knows :)

Soon!

Will be back to post regularly after bev dear helps me with my blogskin!

Be right back!

Time for a new blog post

Bev here.

Darling,
it's time for you to start blogging properly with pictures.
And not just about body-building pls...
You have a life apart from that.
:)

You shld start showing people pictures of your family and me. kekeke.
In the past few months, we've taken so many lovely pictures, even w your fam.

Love ya.

finally !

yes finally a new post right?!?!

haha so sorry pple, i have been in contest mode for half a year and during that half a yr, i had no mood for family,girlfriend ,friends or anything else.

now thats its over and i have more time, i will update more often!

right so basically what had happened over the past few weeks :



-i claimed my second gold at the nationals,though i have to say i wasnt really satisfied with my showing on that day, i wasnt really dry and i dont know...i always think i look better a week b4 conteset,nevertheless a great experience.

-brandon got a silver in jrs as he also didnt turn out at his best and a bronze in seniors....absolutly fantastic!

maybe what lex said was right, i shld skip next yrs comp and prepare more on sizing up, now that im a 2nd time champ, more is expected and i dont wanna drop the standard.

btw, it had been great staying at the grand mecure hotel suite for 2 weeks ...through the last week of pre contest and more. it gave me fantastic rest as well as a sense of calm , just what i needed.

as for my rship? it had been nth less than fantastic.now that im not in a calorie deficit mode ..surviving on 50g carbs a day for weeks on end eating the same amt of calories like an adult female. now my mood had dradtically improved along with the normal regulation in my own hormonal response.

celebrated my 2nd yr at ichiban sushi ....my dear and i went out a hell lot just muching on food here and there and i have to say the past 2 weeks had been really different and happy for the both of us.

more to post next time...its brief as i wanna watch a documentary now!

final 4 weeks

the last 4 weeks

this is the final push towards the nationals. carbs will be lowered again,cardio will be double sessions and i will feel all cold and chilly again therefore i have bought my long sleeve shirts and jackets for training.

just hoping to drop my fat % another 3% for now.

fat% had been fluctuating due to the absence of fat burners. ure heard me right, all i had been surviving on was lots of coffee powder and green tea. yesterday my bodybuilding .com fat burner arrived and i cldnt wait to take it.

it came in this white simple container that look so dam bloody budgeted that i was skeptical.

and guys believe me, i have tried tons of supplements , when i say it works it really works cuz of almost all the brands of supps i tried, i only can say that gaspari nutrition novedex xt and superpump 250 works like hell. the rest didnt do jack shit for me.

so this is the first time im experimenting with this brand.i wont disclose the brand as of now till after comp as i wanna make sure it works.

all i can say is the label states"pharmacist formulated" take 1 cap on empty stomach and 1 6 hrs later.

so i belittled the small purple pill...i mean come on its just one small pill? what shit can it do.so i doubled up the dose and took 2.

holy crap...20 mins into my fasted early morning cardio, my body had non stop goosebumbps even almost an hr after cardio as im typing this...my body is still having goosebumps....i feel jittery and trust me....i cld nv wait for my morning cardio to end always....but today.....i felt like i cld do an hr non stop.

i cant describe to you how much of an ernergy boost its giving me.its like someone slapped me in the face 20 times, its like im high on marijuana literally! i felt like i was floating on the treadmill!!!

as i was walking home....i felt so alert to the point i was high?? can i say that? gosh...so when i say smth works....trust me...it works !

as for the fat burning properties...ill wait till the end of the week to state how many% i lost.

i tihnk i better stick to the dosage recommended ...i seriously dont feel so good right now!

letting go

ok just a brief update on what has been happening in my life for the last 2 weeks

well ...looking back i was possessive back than.

my dear just asked me is it that i dont love her anymore thats y i dont bother if she talks abt other guys,wear low cut tops and go out with her guy friend one on one.

if it was me a yr ago? i wld have blown my top off. now? i say do whatever u want...it doesnt really matter to me. cuz i know at the end of the day as long as she doesnt abuse my trust and comes back to me eventually? whats there to complain aabt? so it aint that i love you less or anything, its just me leting you have your freedom and the trust that have developed over these 2 yrs.

how time flies....almost 2 yrs into our rship with our 2nd yr coming next mth....just a week out from my nationals...so we decided that we should skip it and celebrate it after my nationals instead. whats worse than celeebrating a special occasion with me eating salad and looking like a zombie...using my last ounce of energy to go out?

valentines day was simple, brought her to araab street for some labanese food...yummy ! though i aint salad.....again... haha! ambience is fantastic!

got my tattoo template discussed with the tattoo artist too and i have decided on a full back oriental dragon of which i have paid the deposit....now im just awaiting for it to be sketched and for my comp to be over to do it. im haveing some doubts though....as if i want to compete again....i may need to place it else whr...cuz its a bloody full back we're talking abt. so it may be positioned on my chest delts and arms instead....will reconfirm this weekend.

my dear has been complimented on her muscular arms! haha....its getting bigger and bigger no doubt...just lack the cuts...but we will work on that slowly.

sch has ended..and honestly? i dont miss anything abt it... i feel so happy and free like a bird....right now im onto some discussions with certain pple with some business opportunity plans...we'll see how things goes in the next mth.

opportunity had been knocking on our door...with press releases set to be held really soon on certain magainzes and all...and if the three of us manage to pull off a big one this nationals, it wld be our first step to stardom.lets hope all things go smoothly . fingers crossed.

thats all for now folks

you will never succeed

Do this and you will never succeed:

Restart, restart,restart. Did you blow your diet during the friday and thus reason you can just as well keep on thru out the weekend and start over fresh again on monday?

Do you constantly work on your perfect solution which is so perfect you can never ever execute it?

Do you sneak in a special treat (oh it’s just 90 calories) almost every day?

Do you eat a little more because you train so hard?

Is your stomach jiggly because you always have pms 365 days of the year or you’re just fat honestly?

Do you use the bike because it’s easier and you can SIT DOWN and read?

Using machines instead of free weights because the latter are more difficult?

Are you sleeping in and missing your cardio more than once a week?

You refuse to realize your cheat days of all-out-eating will keep you fat?

You truly think you’ve got so much muscle, THAT is why you are thick? Not the fat on top huh?

Nuts are healthy so you eat a few servings a day. And you wonder why you won’t lose weight????

You go by “conventional standards” and thus eat according to what a person in the 50’s ate when being physically active with labor work and all, and you wonder why you are not leaner?

Do you heap on olive oil because it’s healthy fat? Some one told you it is good so you overdo it?

A little snack here and there won’t hurt huh?

You always forget to do cardio, but you do get in your weight training and this is key huh because stimulating the strong muscle mass burns the fat FOR you?….

You could never decrease your calories to get leaner: oh oh, you’d be less strong!!!! scary huh!!!

You don’t lose fat even though you train cardio once a day? Hm, try two times a day for three months and you’ll see…

You give up if you have not leaned out after 7 days.

there are many more ways to get no results, but let’s keep it short.







-pauline nordin-

on the road to the nationals.

7 weeks out

"words of wisdom"

-It’s funny when sometimes people think I overdo the cardio or i eat too little carbs. come on...you think i dont know what the hell i am doing?

-There is a reason why so few walk around in super shredded condition: it takes so much dedication! And dedication that never takes a break!

-Bodies that are super shredded are LIVING on the edge! Get it! You are not supposed to have a lot of energy left after you’ve done your training! The price you pay is you gotta train thru tiredness, you cannot rely on food for energy, food is for recovery only! You cannot take extra carbs or fats to train harder, you need to recruit your mind and your willpower more than food!

-By moderate training and moderate calories? Hell no! EXTREME results require EXTREME measurements.being someone who is"moderate"? sorry that aint in my callibur.

-ive done so much research over the past few mths ,i think i am a walking fitness dictionary. but as i have come to realise, is that the more I read the more I know I know nothing...cuz its so true. things get so complicated and u just simply complcate urself but looking for the most effective fat loss diet,various forms of carb cycling, loading,zig zag diet , hiit cardio ,lild cardio ,high carb low fat diet, zero carb all fat diet and all...it just gets to you...what ive realised is...Knowledge is power, but true power is always applying the knowledge instead of just having it.

one thing ive learnt....is that there are no two ways about getting ripped. u have to be on a calorie deficit diet. you have to drop ur carbs...no question. however...the biggest mistake that i have made during my experience in muscle war ...is that i am afriad of refeed days. so many pple think im crazy loading anywhere above 200g of carbs on my refeeed days, when i have been going on 50g for 5 days. there u go...me looking stringy on stage .

now ive learnt. your body needs to have a refeed and they r ur best friend. right now...im gg 60g on low days and almost 350grams on my refeed days. those who disagree can shut the hell up cuz i know mybody the best.

moving foward

yes i know i know...

i have not been updating even after winning muscle war , i shld be eager to post up pics and all.

that aint really the case la.

cuz i knew that i only showed up at 60% of my max potential due to extensive depleting and not feeding my muscle enough,stuff to do with water and sodium that made me flat as a pancake that day. but i gotta say adrian did a fanstasic job in helping the both of us come in tip top condition.just some stuff i got to ammend as not every fits a certain approach.but i gotta say my buddy did.

well for those of u that didnt know what went on in the past few weeks, i won the muscle war 2010 above 170cm cat and my buddy got 2nd in the 2010 muscle war below 170cm cat. though i still feel that he looked better that zhen wei... its alright! only 3 pts lost.

well where do i go from here?

its been more than 2 weeks and i gotta say i have maintained absolute control on my diet as im only 80kg right now, meaning i have only put on 4kg in the past 2 weeks and my bodyfat % is at 8.4% checked yesterday.pretty good ar?

loads of extensive research done hrs a day everyday, trying to get it right this time round. 8 weeks out from the nationals, and im taking a higher carb approach this time now at 250 grams and not dropping below 150 grams this time...whr i dropped up to 40 grams 4 weeks b4 contest for muscle war. this time im going to"grow" into the show and look tighter and fuller carb loading with 100grams more this time round compared to the previous .

as im 8 weeks plus out and 8.4% bf, im going to go in mw hopefully at 4-5%...going to be as ripped as hell and tight this time round! haha so i can put on a gd show and let everyone remember it!



right and now that sch is ending, zen brandon and me have thought of starting our own personnel training business along with the help from magnum and some others, we do hope to get our website up and running by the end of this mth.

the reason as to why we want to start this business up is not because of $. its because we are really passionate in what we do and we want to see it as a gift to any future potential clients. i train at true fitness and california fitness, i have seen the way the pts do their training and boy...sometimes i get really mad. clients pay so much and get those kinda worthless service whr the pts talk more than they teach ,they dont act according to what they preach,just take a lk at their bodies. and they are practically spotting their clients from rep number 1.

for us ,its different, we want our clients to have mind muscle connection,to really have their session worth their money ,get what they r paying for and its no nonsense no jokes kinda training. u get what u pay for, u lose weight, u gain muscle . all talks can be done after training but when u train, u get ur ass down to it.

the rates are very reasonable and we r going to take up pour pt certs for it too.

i will post more details on our up coming business as soon as its done.

hope u guys can show support by recommending ur friends or family members or colleagues to this program . thanks!

13 days

sometimes...i wake up from a nap..

thinking im losing it...

i sit up thinking wtf am i doing.

i walked to the bus stop...wanting to go to the tattoo convention...

suddenly....my legs just brought me back..back into my room...taking my clothes off and just lying on the bed just too exhausted...

waking up gettting msgs of breakups and all...

den i looked at myself in the mirror...what has becomed of me...

these days ...sometimes it becomes so bad....i literally do things out of a routine...a regime ...more than what i want to do...i do what my body tells me to do...whr my mind doesnt play a part inwhat i do anymore...

we got our sponsorship...

finally smth we worked so hard for...at the brink of insanity...and finally we r starting to get recognise for what we do...

we dont go to extremes for nth...we expect results...we expect nth less than a top 3.

right now...i can tell u ...u can get a the hottest supermodel in the world to strip...and u can put a plate of hamburger and fries beside her...without choosing..i will go for the food...

thats how bad it gets.

its time for u to go away for good

just as i was feeling alil down today,i happened to chance upon a very interesting interview and short documentary on kai greene and also read some fantastic articles from pauline nordin.right now i feel accomplished,know what i wanna do,what i shld do and i shall shut off anything that hinders me away from my goal. my eys are only fixated on one thing.

1)It is never cool when someone tells you degrading comments.

It is never cool when someone tries to make you feel confused and insecure.

if you sense they are not contributing but just taking from you,when they purposely try to neutralize you by making you feel, look, appear, act or interact more blandly, it is time to say good bye for good.

2)I cannot afford to focus on tuning in to the drained sensation, the “I’m so tired” comment I try to ban, making it a NONpart of my vocabulary.

You are what you think. You become what you think.


For me cardio was never a “walk in the time”. Every session has a purpose, every session has a reason, a target, a goal. I am just as anxious about those as I were at repping my deadlifts better than ever or increase the weight in the squats. But this is another game…. I see stars, yeah, I need to hold on to the machine because honestly I’m embarassed I’d fall some time….. I’ve never passed out in my whole life and I won’t now either but the thought has crossed my mind.

I FEEL ENERGIZED, I AM FULL OF ENERGY. You become what you think. So I choose to think I am invincible.

wtf

without any sense of sensitivity.

"eh why u so skinny? what happened to you? wa lau u dam skinny now man."

those were the first words that were said to me when i first stepped into school.

for some reason, i felt confused, i didnt know how to react. i tried to smile and pretend it was nth but truth be told,i swallowed hard and was sorta paralysed with all the emotions gg inside me,i simply didnt know what to say and certainly didnt bother explaining.

those words kept ringing like chruch bells in my head through the whole lecture.

those few words felt like a thousand knives into my heart.

20 days

while waiting for my eggs to cool i shall post a short one.

gosh....20 days left....not even 3 weeks.

its great having everyone telling me i look so much better compared to 3 weeks ago...drastic improvements made in terms of condition and vascularity. however i know the existing water retention problem has still yet to be settled.

uping cardio to 1 and a half hours morning and night and sometimes after training,i do hope to bring my body fat to 7-8% come comp day.what i see in the mirror...well...im only 65% satisfied....i know...that isnt a good thing to say 20 days out from comp!

the last time i took my fat% it was 10% on the dot...and i tell u its a real bitch bringing down ur bf% to single digit when u r not taking stuff like ephedrine ,clen and especially when u ran out of fat burners.

contemplating if i shld go for nationals...well ...i doubt so..its time to enjoy life...work and earn some$ to save and so many other plans in mind...getting my tattoos...going for a short trip with my friends and family.eating out with my friends.training up for my napfa...for the command school i so wish to aim for.

but b4 all that blurs my vision,i betta stay on track.

its a gd thing to know that thr is competition in ur category...i know theres a formidable guy training at the same gym as me...and brandon knows he too has at least one formidable opponent hes gg up against.

i guess....nth we can do abt gaining muscle for now...

its about who is gg in as the person who is coming in as the most peeled and detailed guy.

one thing that really irritates me is when pple ask me r u sing this and that or have u started using this and that...when i reply...they say things like..no wonder ur condition improved so much.its really fucked up cuz they dont see beyond those stuff... they dont see the hrs of cardio put in...10x more than them ,the change in diet and training and supplementation .. it irritates me too when pple say u know,u gotta improve on this and that bodypart gota bring out this and that...i mean,come on...its 3 weeks out and ure still telling me this crap? wtf can u do in 3 weeks ?

i know by saying to be anything after first position is pointless....its putting a hell lot of pressure...but seriously...who trains to get 2nd?

with the opening of 2010.....lets all hope ill start it off with my dreams coming true....with a bang.
