yupz... I missed body combat with Azrino on Wednesday coz of chalet with my angels..... but I'm back at the gym today!!!!
I reached the gym at 9.50 am ahead of Ainil who woke up so late!!! We were suppose to go for Latin Jam class at 10.30.... but she had to wake up late but came in time for the class anyways.... So I went to do my normal stretching at the stretching area...... It so happen I was facing the mirror and while doing my stretching I saw Salihin the new Paersonal Trainer coming towards me.... as he nears me I smiled at him and he smiled back..... I didn't notice he was standing to my right observing me! So when I finally realised that I got up and say hi to him....
Salihin: I was just admiring your hair... (referring to my many braids)
Me: What?!?! Marrying my hair?!?!
Salihin: No ADMIRING....
Me: (felt like a goondoo..... ) oh thankx!
Salihin: How long you took doing your hair?
Me: 1/2 hr....
and so the conversation went on again....... then it came to a point where we were talking abt body and muscles...
Me: I wanna have 6 packs!!!
Salihin:I am working my way to have those!
Me: Really? me want 6 packs and great arms like Madonna! Do you know the analysis shows that I have loose muscles on my arms even though I do resistance training?!?!?!
Salihin: Ok.... Do you need my help?
Me: OF COURSE! (jumping up and down like a kid!)
Salihin: ok I just need you to do this survey for me and I need your no. then I can arrange a time to meet you....
Me: (looking at the watch: 10.25am) Ok you better hurry my Latin class starts at 10.30am!
Salihin: ok! I give you a call soon......
Latin Jam class was the bomb! We have cha cha, marimba, salsa and mambo! At first it was so hard to follow but I caught the moves pretty fast and I was shaking my ass like J.Lo by the end of the class! HAHAHAHA I'm going for next fri class again!!!!!
So after Latin Jam was cardio and resistance for me..... I was doing my Dual Axis pull when Salihin bumped into me again.....
Salihin: Today is your off day from work?
Me: Let's just say I'm selling grapes (menggangur) for now.......
Salihin: (Laughing...) So do you intend to look for a job?
Me: Errrr.... why?
Salihin: Coz we're recruiting.....
Me: You know I would love too but....
Salihin: (butting in) ..... you going back to school?
Me: yeah!
Salihin: where?
Me: NTU accepted me....
Salihin: WOW! Congrats! (Shakes hands with me)
Me: Thankx!
Salihin: What you doing then?
Me: Don't laugh..... I'm doing degree in teaching!
Salihin: wow! My mom is a teacher at Deiyi Secondary...
Me: I'm teaching secondary too!
............... conversation continue...............
ok so I stayed at the gym till 7.30 coz I went for the 6.30 body combat.... I love body combat!!! I'm crazy abt Body Combat!!!!!!
20th April...
I woke up at 7 am due to a very "noisy" environment and much to my anger coz I wanna catch some beauty sleep considering we slept at 5 am..... Very pissed off but anyways the wake up call was fruitful coz we prepared breakfast for everyone and we went swimming at ard 9 am..... I managed to get the bronzed up tan that I always wanted and I'm so happy! I'm tan ppl!!!! We left the pool ard 12pm to prepare lunch for everybody and Murni parents came by and gave us lots of Goreng Pisang, Keropok Lekor and Ubi and Baulu! man..... I felt so bad they spent so much on us..... they already helped us a lot with the food, utensils, DVD player etc etc.... haiz.... God Bless Murni's parents...... after lunch Ain, Mis, Saleha and Murni went cycling while me and Nitha went to catch some sleep...... when I woke up I found out that Deb, Alvin n Diana had left and Yi Zhen, Shandy, Junel, Xin Ying and Wei Ping wanted to leave at 5+++...... haiz I thought we were gonna stay for the whole 3 days together as this was gonna be the last time we are ever gonna have a gathering..... but it wasn't meant to be..... in the end left only me, Nitha, Murni, Saleha, Ain, Mis n Fida in the evening in a huge bungalow chalet..... But the 7 of us were tight.... we were playing games and gossipping just like a typical slumber party..... it was fun even though there were only 7 of us left.....
21st April...
I was the 2nd last to wake up...... I had my shower before joining the gals for breakfast..... it was so sad that the outing had to come to an end... we spend time taking pix of ourselves and began to ponder when are we gonna met up again.....
PS: Congrats to Murni for getting the job!

"Mission 5kg"
yes ppl.... mission 5kg is on the roll..... and there's no stopping me!!!!!
I woke up at 5.45 am today coz I got medical check up for my NIE admission at Raffles Hospital at 8.30. My goodness...... the waiting time was driving me insane! By the time I got my check-up, height n weight measurement, urine test, eye test and X-ray it was already 11 am! The waiting time almost killed me..... Anyways I hope all went well for the check-up....
So I went to the gym and just in time for Body Combat with Suhaimi..... I'm seriously falling in love with this guy! He is so darn funny! I can't stop laughing and I was right in front of the stage so he kept teasing me and the rest...... I think among all the Body Combat instructors I love him the most!
So after Body Combat I did some cardio and resistance training and Nash caught up with me while I was doing my cardio..... Gymming with her is not dull! She just keep on blabbering and gossipping which is totally to my liking hehehehe...... Then I helped her trained with the resistance machine..... somehow or rather I'm becoming her unofficial personal trainer hahaha.... This Nash, I think she know always 3/4 of the Personal Trainer there lol.... SHe kept saying hi to almost all of them LOL!
So we were doing our triceps and she told me she wanted to introduce me to this machine which she finds it so cool and it's a bicep machine..... Ok this is the funny part.... While waiting for the guy to finish using the biceps machine we happily tried the another version of the triceps machine..... Ok I tried it but the sitting was too low so I happily pulled the ledge to make it rise but the funny thing is the sit will not locked into place! I was like "Oh shit! I broke the machine!". Nash was like trying to figure out how to lock the sit but it just would not ledge! Then this personal trainer came:
P.T: Do you ladies need any help?
Me: Yes the sit would not lock! Can you help me with this?
P.T: No problem.......
so he happily tried to lock it but it still would not lock!
Me: OH NO! Don't tell me I broke it!?!?!?!?!
P.T: no no I ask someone to help me with this in the mean time you can try other machines....
ok so me and Nash use the machine next to it..... and then he brought another Personal Trainer and he just locked the sit in one motion!
P.T: ok..... I just found out that we were to soft in locking the thing...
Me: I thought I broke the machine!
P.T: If u broke the machine I just send the bill to your account!
Me: It wasn't me!
P.T: Hi, my name is Salihin, you are? (extending his hands to me)
Me: I'm Dimas (shake hands)
Nash: I'm Nashveen..... you can just call me Nash (Shake hands)
Me: You're new right? I never seen you ard here....
Salihin: Yeah I'm new... So how long have you join CF?
................. and so the conversation goes on.................
yeah CF is opening a new branch soon so they are recruiting new trainers and consultants etc.... the place is over-run with new ppl......
Left the gym at ard 5 plus...... and yeah tmr is the chalet! And I've yet to pack my stuff! better get going!

Kick Start to "Mission 5kg"
Officially I kick start my mission to lose another 5 kg more today....... Well I have so many things planned out for myself this few months before July....
I went swimming at 8 am.... Damn! The swimming pool at Woodlands swimming complex was already so packed with ppl.... 80% of them are kids learning how to swim! Well how can I complain, it is a Saturday and a public pool......
I managed to swim for abt an hour..... while in the pool there's this little boy of abt 5 yrs old.... oh my god he is so adorable but naughty! He kept splashing water at his friends and the water hit me straight at my face! And he knew he was also splashing at me and all the more he keeps doing it! Then suddenly I splash water at him and you can see the shock on his face! So cute! He was like "AAcckk (high shrieking kind of small boys voice)" and cowers when I splashed him! His instructor was approving to what I did to him coz he was so naughty! But so cute!
At abt 9.15 I got off from the pool coz the pool was really crowded with kids learning how to swim..... so I went to the basking chair and tan for an hour..... I must say the complex got a few good looking hunks..... *slurrrps* I managed to get tanned but not that tanned but it's ok coz I have a whole line up of events that will make me as tan as I wanna be!
I was planning:
Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun - Gym
Tue & Wed - Swimming
Sat - Tanning
I think that should do it..... plus on the 19th-21st is chalet so I think 80% of the time I'll be at the pool swimming..... hehehehe I can't wait!
and not forgetting I need to keep my diet back on track...... due to the stress of exams I've been indulging to much on sinful food..... now it's time to cut off those calories!

I'm free!!!!!!! Graduation here I come!
Finally! 3 years of poly and the moment of truth has finally arrived! Yesterday was the last paper (I pray to God hopefully it is!) that I ever took in SP...... it was bitter sweet in a sense... It was sweet coz no more mugging for me! Bitter in a sense it's the end of poly life and I got to move on....
After the paper me n my click went to eat dinner at Far east and after that we walked from Far East all the way to Esplanade! My feet wasn't in pain like my other friends was complaining, it was my shoulder that was in pain coz I was carrying my gym bag...... We took pictures and discuss abt the class chalet etc.... Can't wait for chalet! hehehehe SLUMBER PARTY!!!!!
Speaking of moving on...... I don't think moving on is gonna be easy for me.... I definitely gonna miss my friends in poly, the poly life, everything about poly basically...... but I'll be dynamic abt it.... one chapter ends, another begin..... Now I just wanna enjoy my "holidays" till july before I begin NIE-NTU training..... that would definitely be something I wanna look forward too....

MOE Appointment Briefing.....
Appointment briefing was at 9 this morning.... you can imagine how I dragged myself out of bed just now considering I only slept ard 2 plus......
Briefing was boring..... all those technical stuff..... Hey being a Civil Servant ain't that bad! I got all the medical benefits and subsidies for me and my families and when I'm married to my husband and kids! Medisave, Annual Leave, Child Leave..... so cool! And I found out that I only get my first pay on the 12th August..... DAMN! I thought I could have like in May or something HAHAHA.... dream on!
Then as Teachers we are required to go for medical check up..... my appointment is on Mon 18/04 @ 8.30 am..... better get it done and over with before the class chalet! And plus.... Murni will love this.... I have to do my Public Service (PS) card at CISCO Paya Lebar soon.... hey Murni! I know you dun like abang CISCO but you want to tag along or not? ;)
Ok check this out..... I find this interesting while reading my Trainee Teacher Handbook:
Dress Code
NIE trainees must be properly attired in a manner benefitting the teacher profession when they are in schools or NIE. They are expected to wear suitable clothing and maintain a hairstyle that gives an appearance of neatness and decorum. Inapproriate attire, accessories, footwears, as well as outlandish hair colour or long unkempt hairstyles are prohibited. NIE trainees must also be identifiable at all times.
NIE trainees are not allowed to wear the following to schools, NIE, lecture theatres, tutorial rooms, lab, library, etc:-
a. Shorts, singlets, sleeveless T-shirts, revealing attire or mini-skirts;
b. Attire printed with offensive wordings;
c. Sandals or slippers
All officers should bear in mind the need for teachers to be good role models for their students at all times, and the need to project a professional image.
hmmm...... given that I seriously need to do some wardrobe change! All my clothes are not suited!!!! OH NO!!! Wadrobe Crisis is in my hands! Anyways no slippers? They got to be kidding man! I dun care I'm not wearing covered court shoes at NIE! (Teacher turning to a rebel.......)
Anyways check out my new Hairdo..... It's quite on the light brown side.... the pix is dark I dunno why also..... I HATE IT!
My new hairdo......

So excited!
I love Body Combat with Azrino..... he has so many female fans! every wednesday I would see all his regulars at his class..... I think most probably he's such a good motivator and he keeps a look out in the class for ppl who can't catch up....
I'm so excited! Tmr is my appointment briefing at MOE ..... I can't wait to see my 'fellow teachers' there hehehe...... The feeling is like entering poly all over again!
Well I went to get my passport photo taken coz MOE needed it and I thought my hair was quite dark.... but the pix shows that my hair is quite on the light brown side.... I hope the pix is approved tmr! I dun wanna dye my hair any darker than this!
Murni send me something thru my email...... check this out!

Well rested....
I think I finally figure out why I'm sufferring from insomnia this past few days....
Yesterday I had Caesar's Salad for brunch before going to the gym. Bodycombat with Suhaimi is crazy! He's damn funny! but I love the way he choreograph his moves.... easy to follow, high impact, high energy kindda moves.... I went for the class with Fiza, apparently she just joined the gym but she left right after class while I continue resistance training.....
So after my first set of training was done I head down to do cardio when Nash met up with me and we did cardio together..... Man I'm glad to have met her! Gymming with her is so fun coz she is quite the gossiper! Plus..... she knows many personal trainer! We were talking abt a lot of the personal trainers being short and all and making fun on some of them hahaha we're bad...... Then I told her abt the personal trainer that I'm having my eyes on coz I think he has the perfect body...... then this girl says...
Nash: I think I know who you are talking abt but I dun know his name....
Me: Yeah don't you think he has a nice body?? especially those biceps and ass??
Nash: But he is short lah!
Me: Oklah not that short but quite short for a guy but his body is too die for!
Nash: nah.... me dun like big bulky guys..... someone lean and tall like Joel is good.
Me: Joel? I think he's scrawny!
Nash: yeah come to think of it he is!
Me: Nash! that's the guy that I like him for his body....
Nash: oooooo he's coming here Dimas! But Dimas he's ugly lah!
Me: (burst out laughing) HAHA... ugly is not the word lah.... he's not ugly ok! Just focus on the body and the ass!
well that's practically all we talked abt.... Nash was like saying she want's to come on the days I go to the gym so that she has someone to train with.... she says she wanna lose weight like I did....
So by the time I left gym was abt 5pm and I was dead hungry.... I called mom to ask her what's cooking for dinner and she said fried rice..... hey can't blame me! I had salad for brunch and I was hungry as hell! I reached home and I practically gobbled the whole wok of fried rice which is so unlike me! Thermogenising sets in I was getting sleepy..... It was only 6.30 pm and I felt asleep on my bed while watching Jimmy Neutron...... I woke up it was 7.30 am Tueday morning! I practically slept for more than 12 hours!
So it is my diet that's causing me insomnia coz I'm on a "no eating" regime after 6pm and so I'm restless most of the time coz I'm really hungry and my body won't sleep unless I eat something heavy! hahaha...... I shall further confirm on this today.....

Something is wrong with me.....
I'm suffering from insomnia for quite some time now..... I'm so physically tired and I know I need to sleep but I just could not get some shut eye! For all I know I'm not really stressed up considering the fact that I only left with one paper for the exams and I definitely haven't been thinking a lot about my future as of late coz my path to my future is "shown" already......
Could it be my diet? But I've been with this diet for quite sometime now and I wasn't insomniac.... or could it be my sleeping position??? It could not be coz I change my sleeping position everytime I need to sleep!
I even try aroma therapy, it didn't work obviously...... I try yoga..... it made me sleepy but I could not sleep when I lie down! I try "snacking" even though I'm not suppose to eat after 6 and it still doesn't work!!!!!
What is the bloody wrong with me?!
and yeah just to let you all know..... I have to ditch my Victoria Gotti's do..... 14th April is my Appointment briefing at MOE and yeah I dyed my hair dark brown for it! I'm depress..... I love being blonde!

Last Day of BodyCombat 23
I went to the gym today at 9 am for bodycombat class ..... actually I was contemplating not going at all considering the fact tmr is Clinical Chemistry paper but I told myself to at least attend the class if I don't do my regular routine.....
So apparently I went for the last class for BodyCombat 23 and after today they're gonna change the routine steps..... the class was the bomb! I can really feel working my arms coz all this while I don't really use my arm strength that much even with resistance training.
So after BodyCombat was over, I met up with Ainil and we went to the steambath and had a relaxing time there........ So after showering and all Ainil wanted to measure her weight.... so she met up with her personal trainer, Amir, at the Fitness Department. Ok, so I went to follow her there but I didn't notice this personal trainer that loves calling me Totti was sitting at the desk. So while Ainil was weighing herself suddenly he shouted, "Totti!"..... and me of course lah must see who's calling me by my husbands name right? And it was him.... he came over to me:
Hanafi (personal trainer): Totti! you not working today ah?
Me: I'm not working you know! I'm still studying! (me glancing at his name tag and finally got to know his name!)
Hanafi: Really? Where you studying?
Me: At SP, last semester doing my exams now..... then after that in July going to NTU....
Hanafi: wah! really?
Me: yeah..... (my cousin signalling for me to go) Hey I got to go... I see you ard!
Hanafi: Bye!
Hanafi...... why is the name so familiar...... then I remembered that he is the personal trainer that all his trainees sung praises to at the CF's webbie! Ok.... when I saved up for Personal Training I'm gonna take him as a trainer!!! WOhoooo!!!! hehehe
Ok.... then as you can see I'm very stressed up with the exams and my diet has gone haywire.... I've been eating KFC's Oriental Chicken Salad for the past 2 days..... IT'S SINFUL!!!!! I went to KFC, check this out, right after gym with my mom! That is more sinful! Anyways, Mak Su came to join us and she congratulated me.... she was happy that I got into NIE.....
I felt so sinful abt my diet today that while studying just now, I was studying while doing the Stepper machine! I really need to burn off those calories..... anyways I better get back to studying.... been blogging for too long now.....

Speechless, shocked...... totally in disbelievement (if there's such a word)
Suddenly I just have the urge to open the letterbox today..... I was thinking..... "If the university want to reject me, they better reject me now coz the wait is driving me crazy!"
So I went down to the letterbox anticipating my rejection letter..... only to find this envelope stating "On Government Service" .................... I flipped the letter around to check out the return address and it was from "MOE Teacher Training Unit".
My heart was beating so fast..... I was thinking, "Oh no, even MOE is rejecting me!" I opened the envelope there and then with shaking hands and it reads, "OFFER OF A (i)PLACE IN THE BSc(EDUCATION) AT NIE,NTU AND (ii)APPOINTMENT INTO THE EDUCATION SERVICE."
I almost fainted....... I thought I was getting rejected and here it is I'm accepted into NIE! My first reaction was "Thank you god! Thank you! Thank you!" I was so happy! and the first person I called was my mother and she was overly happy and overjoyed to hear that I was accepted! Then I message my closest friends and they were congratulating me......
The amazing thing was, I was very happy that they accepted me..... back then I used to contemplate whether I made the right choice in considering teaching as a career and now, all the more I'm sure that teaching is my path in life..... I'm so happy now.... to a point that I do not wish to continue revising for my coming exams!
Thank you God..... and thank you to my friends who keep making me believe that I will get into NIE.... Thankx!

"12 kg"
Well as you all can guess, I've lost 12kg!!!! My weight now is like an all time low for me, the last time I was at this weight was I think like when I was in primary 5! I'm so hyper-pumped up to lose more coz I need to lose another 2kg more to reach my ideal BMI.
So I went to the gym yesterday..... and the best thing is I had a fight with Fazly.... well it was regarding some probelms which I wasn't entirely happy but I just love it when I said this to him:
Me: Fazly, when I'm angry I tear this place down, when my sister is angry she burn this place down!
And at that point I said that I did not realise it was actually quite loud and all the personal trainer and the front desk reception bitches all look at me in shock..... I was damn pissed off.... anyways the problem was so called settled... we shall see how he is tmr when I go to the gym...
So there I was doing my normal routine before going for bodycombat class..... I was doing my second set cardio when this young Indian lady hopped in to the machine next to me and tap me in the shoulder:
Nash: hi there, you just join this club in Jan right?
Me: yeah....
Nash: yeah coz I see you ard from then and let me comment that you really lost a lot of weight while I haven't lost anything since then!
Me: oh ok...... what sort of training do you do and how often do you come...
Nash: well I do cardio but I come rarely like twice or thrice a week. By the way I'm Nash.
Me: oh ok you should come more often and I'm Dimas. (shake hands)
So we began talking and then she said:
Nash: you know what I should go to gym with you! You seem to know a lot of this stuff and maybe u can help me in the training!
So we exchange no. and I have a new gym buddy! yeah! I got so many gym buddies now! California Fitness is a place to socialise and lose weight!
Then I went for Bodycombat class and the instructor was Ayesha. Man was she da bomb! She got the class so hyper pumped and she's so likeable! I'm going to her class again next friday! She's a great motivator kindda reminded me of Denise Austin!
Anyways..... I seriously need to find jobs soon.... I seriously doubt I get into the uni hahaha... hopefully I get the job I applied for!
