lifestyles

tahun baru azam baru. translation (or attempt) new year, new resolutions ;p

anyway, my resolution(s) is to try and be slightly fitter... only so that my fats can turn into muscles, so i don't feel as guilty maintaining my weight!!! i get remarks like "you don't look your weight" "but u r tall, its ok" and i guess these were attempts to make me feel better... well lemme tell you sth, it doesn't really... fact is, im still my weight!!!

when i was a kid... i must have been wayy fitter... although i was nothing compared to my sisters.. my stamina has always been ultra low!!!

my fittest state would have been in 1999 ish years... that was brilliant... swimming now and then, netball in school almost everyday, shooting hoops both in school and at home (i miss this terribly), cross country once a year (i didn't do too bad in this.. top ten in my category) and... cycling.. and others...

then.. flew to the UK.. metabolism rate became slower, sports became non-existant (i only had lacrosse once a week, and netball for half an hour each week =( ) as a result i ballooned!!! gaining 8 kgs in 6 mths!!! omg omg!!! stress banar tu at that time!!!

however, id like to say, up till now (three years later) i'v not gained any more weight... im only **kgs in the winter times... and im usually a few kgs less most times =)

i knw if im on a diet (which would mean almost halving my portions.. if u knw my portions, then ud also knw i wont starve eating half my real portion ;p ) and exercise more... i can lose weight.. it aint an easy matter.. but its doable...

anyway.. where was i? oh yea... lifestyle... and new year resolutions

i have GREAT hopes...

• i aim to walk home from uni at least once a week (with good weather) and this would either be on monday or wednesday (free pm yo, so i can take my time and it wont be dark)
• im hoping to go a thing called wellbeing in uni... its kinda like conditioning, only easier (so im told)
• erm, i want to be more consistent with yoga.. ive been once, and i enjoyed it immensely. so im hoping to go religiously
• iv started to join rizal's badminton weekend workouts =)
• and entah apa lagi
• oh yea... eat healthier food.. eat fruits and vege... sigh.. i hate buying them, because they go out of date and perish too fast!!!

oh yea, hopefully i get fit in time for BruNotts Easter Games.. 19th March.. please anyone and everyone, do go to Notts.. siok tu!!!

my netball team (dang Ganaz) is waayy ready for it.. well.. uniform and members wise ;p practice.. a date hasn't been agreed on. i duno if one will actually take place. and as always, we haven't played as a team in AGES!!! tha's the only disadvantage of having my players coming from EVERYWHERE in the UK... from Cardiff all the way to Dundee!!! that is a MAJOR stretch wouldn't you say?

i can just imagine it... all the other teams practicing every night (oh yes, they do this!!!) and practicing their set plays numerous times nearing to perfection!!! and knowing exactly which player combinations make them a strong team...

and come my team.. first game gagar and nervous and not playing top form, almost losing... everyone not warm yet.. and very rusty in the game... then as the day progresses, i hope our games improve and hopefully we become victorious!!! (any other teams reading this, jangan sasak ah... )

so yea.. hopefully my team manang, play nicely.. no injuries... sigh.. i guess ada slight pressure on us this year as defending champs.. and i hope ada BANYAK other teams.. so the competition would be MORE tiring than last year!!!

today i played SINGLES badminton with awangku rizaldo!!! gila!!! kapisan saya!!! i was trash!!! we managed to play five games in one hour! and he proved to be the better player!!! i have to say, he has a good cover on the court.. although there is still room for improvement?

sigh.. i sound like i play badminton like a pro.. i dont really.. in fact, im quite the opposite!!! my shots arent staying in!!! my net shuttles are too high!!! my cross courts aren't going over! my drop shots are not going over!!! my footwork is a disgrace!!! (once today, i was stuck due to my imperfect footwork!!!) my smashes aren't strong enough and most importantly, i still cant jump whilst attempting to hit the shuttle exactly how i want it!!!

sigh... if only i can.. i think from now on, i shall try play badminton just jumping with every shot!!! as rizal said, to help me get that extra height! i did a few jumps today, and it only resulted in me laughing out loud!!!

rizal attempted making me run all four corners of the court.. i do try and reach the shuttle, but i couldn't for reasons mentioned above... tapi yang hairan nya, he got tired after the hour... but i didn't make him run!!! muahhaa.. he later said it was becaue he wanted to win 15-0!!! honestly, there was no sympathy from him at all!!! i was near tears because all my shots weren't going right!!!

i think i need a new racket!!! the one i have now is old! and iv hit it on the floor wayyy too much, and i don't like my string.. i think it doesn't have enough give!!! dududud...

i duno how many of you will understand the stress im going thru.. and the disappointment i have on myself.. but war and mas.. i am sure kamu understand.. sigh.. for the love of the game ;p

oh yea, esuk i am playing basketball!!! baik jua half court.. and iv not played since form 5!!! tha's four years and a bit!!! omg omg!!! i think iv forgtten how to dribble... i highly doubt my ability to shoot a three pointer.. or a two pointer for that matter!!!

summer just passed, i played ONE game of donkey with nazim!!! that was good!!! i was tired kan mati after 15 mins!!! (and tha's without lay ups) and i lost.. no DUH!!!

sigh... ok dokes, i think i should stop talking about sports and bore my female readers... muahaha ;p

im missing home!!! 5 more months!!! inda batah lagi ni!!! heheheh...
