Hulk Knows the color!!

Yeah, I called it. The Most muscular super hero sure knows the color.. GREEN.. It's not just in pens and papers or even on screen that the huge beast, the Incredible HULK is ripped and as dry as the deserts of Sahara.

I know a lot of people from the gym have one common concept on building mass. Lots of meat, carbs and proteins. but they fail to mention lots of fruits and vegetables. As of always, meat have always been an all time favourite in Mass building process. Especially "BEEF" which contains not only Protein but a high dose of creatine. Next you have the chicken breast and eggs tied closely at 2nd, moving on to fish.... but wait... all these hard to digest protein won't get anywhere near your muscles if your system can't fully process them least to absorb them. If your digestive system is not functioning properly, how is it that you are able to reap the goodness of all the items which you just stuff into that slaughter house?

Vegetables and fruits are a good source of fiber and many of them contains great enzymes which helps your digestive system to function properly. And according to my studies, there is a substance in vegetables which helps you to get that ripped effect by slowing down the process of protein being burnt as food for the body. by doing so, your body actually stays full longer which ends up aiding your metabolism to last longer. isn't that what all bodybuilders have been hunting for all this while? prolonged metabolism rotations which helps to burn fats all day long without turning to catabolism.

Final words, Go Green, Go Hulk!!

Feeling Corny?

Whoa! POP CORN??? YUMMY?!! Am I sure?...... emm...

HELL YEAH!!

hahaha.... well, a lot of people consider popcorns as comfort food which is far from anything healthy.. well, it is comfort food but rather preparation is very important to either make it healthy o not.

Popcorn has been misjudged for many decades least centuries.. well, at least since it was found. Probably due to all the misguidance from the western movies we watched visibly showing how obese boys chowing ton and tons of popcorns in front of their tv or in the cinemas? probably... but popcorn itself is a healthy snack choice. It's a healthy whole grain choice which contains tons of fibers and merely just 93 calories with less than 1.5 gms of fat for a standard air-popped 3 cups serving without any other ingredients.

but unfortunately, society today would not risk their taste buds for anything less than tasty to enter the gateway to their heart. Ingredients such as caramel, sugar, butter... etc have been added to taste as well as fats and calories. Need I say more the next time you visit a cinema.. you know what to do... Usually I either sneak my own snacks if the confectionery in the cinema lacks of the choice.... (will be discussed in the next log) Sorry Cinema owners, but if only you have healthier selections other than the carbonated sugary drinks and those fatty and high calories snacks, probably the health conscious crowd would let you earn their hard earn cash.

Well, new research has found out that popcorns has got large level of health-boosting antioxidants called "polyphenols" Polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables are thought to help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

So I'd say "POP that CORN but CORN it NATURALLY"

Health is a lifestyle! not a luxury

Living in this work orientated, money chasing and busy era a lot of us are given the rights to procrastinate and reasons to not exercise... or is that so? You can't reason your way out of health that's for sure. After a while, everything will surface. Visually is the first sign. with fatigue look, droopy eyes, thick eye bags, dark eye circles... etc.. then health kicks in. with more frequent visits to the clinics, pharmacies, feeling more and more tired daily, aching starts to be a part of a daily routine.... etc. Are your going to procrastinate until all this symptoms becomes a part of your life? Irritating you each time when you want to do something which you can easily accomplish few years back? Trust me, after 4 years working as a freelancer with ample time to hit the gyms and workout and 8mths of unemployment to have every minute dedicated to working out, it took me a while to get used to the working life while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Especially when everyone at work eats the worldly way. hahaha. I was struggling initially until I finally settled down with the office life... emm... well, working society lifestyle and got right back on the track. I prepacked all my food. Here's a breakdown of my daily timetable 5:00am - wake up to have my 1st breakfast 5:10am - workout 5:50am - 2nd breakfast 7:30am - 3rd breakfast 10:00am - snack 12:00pm - lunch 3:00 pm - snack 5:00 pm - snack 5:15 pm - workout 6:00 pm - dinner 9:00pm - supper Whoa!! everyone's common expression. How did I slot in my snacks at work? hahaha.... in the washroom tat is. Not that hygienic but I'm not eating out of the toilet bowl, am I? but it does take a few days to get used to it and to overcome the feeling of depression being confined to eating in the washroom.. hahaha... things i do for health! sheesh.. I don't eat out much but when i do, i choose the right kinda food. I mean, you don't have to restrain yourself from McDonalds or even Kentucky Fried Chicken and even Pizza Huts. Just know what to choose. I usually take a lot of veges. How do you choose? well, for veges, always try to find non greasy or gravy selections. Some veges can be very fatty due to the way its cooked and the ingredients. A lot of people likes to used oyster sauce and other tasty sauces but all these will only add to more carbs and calories. What bout meat? I usually choose steam skinless chicken breast with no sauce added. It's less tasty but its healthier. Try to go for the breast more than the other parts even when you are in a fast food chain restaurant. That way you minimized the amount of fats and carbs. GO SKINLESS!! So I say fast food isn't all that bad? Yeah! you can eat fast food and yet lose weight. But be logical in your choice. If i'm in McDonalds' I usually don't order the carbonated drinks and fries. A Big Mac is all good but if your attendant in the restaurant is a nice guy, you can actually ask em to leave the mayo out. Beef is a great source of protein and creatine. the BREAD? hahaha.. what can 2 slice of palm size bread do to you if you don't take it everyday? and you have the salad selections where you they don't mix the dressings together. Just return the dressings :) KFC? oh yeah, Original only and chicken breast. Peel those tasty, greasy, juicy delicious skins away and leave it by the side of the plate. Never go for Coleslaw cause its high in fats from the mayo.. you see, you don't have to deprive yourselves from comfort food, just be reasonable and don't consume it too often... Eat healthy, stay healthy and stay true :)

To the other side of Pasar Malam...

When you talk bout Borneo... its always bout wonders... the Trees r green, The rivers are ... emm... long.... wanted to say clean but.. not all of em are... and the caves are a marvel for sight... and when I was in Europe... when you talk bout Borneo... to all advertisers.. we Borneon are Orang Utans... lol.. just visit all the travel agencies and you will know what I mean... and to all the Europeans.. we are Head Hunters... lol... and sadly too... to every European.. they thought that Malaysian are all Malays... I had a hard time trying to explain the differences of the race.. anyways... they know we r chinese but not china chinese...

so talking bout the marvel of Borneo... here is one for an eye opener...

Maybe to all Borneon, this is a way to capture bugs.. but definitely its my 1st time experience... its found hanging in one of the tent...

Here is a nice picture of how trading is made at the Pasar Malam

Here is a nice picture... a curious young indian girl... wonder whether her mom is buying anything for her...

The all famous Malaysian food.. the satay... the very 1st step... how to get the fire up...

Lots of faning action... not an easy job... these things need skills... :)

Almost there...

Taken after I made a round at the back... But sadly, the satay here is not the best.. sometimes, its not properly cook due to the crowd demand.. like.. too many customer and they started rushing it.. giving out raw meat...

A normal habit of Malaysians too... loitering almost every where...

Here I've capture a sequence of how the trade is made by the side of the road.. while sitted down.

Stuffing the vege into the plastic...

Exchanging of selling item with money

And Caught in the act of trading... but they seemed all right with a guy who is squating down while taking a picture of em...

They practically live here on Friday up till sunday... here is one of em having his takeaway meal.

And having a small baby is not a problem... doesn't stop them from working in the open..

The vegies here are quite reasonable and very fresh if u come at the right time of the day..

Posing for me... i had to take the lit' cute devil... she is so adorable... or he... emm... i totally forgotten to ask the gender of the baby... ugh..

Im not too sure what they are doing with all the stuffing.. but b careful when you buy em.. they may look packed.. but sometimes, its empty inside... very cunningly plan to con Customers.. these ppl are experts...

A long stretch of bananas... all sort of banana can be found here and

The father in action.... not too bad... not every man test it b4 giving it to their babies... :P

its a good run... but i receive a call from home asking me to come home to eat... well, told them im on my way.. but in actual.. since I have to pass by all the stalls.. why not snap while I walk... so I did.... and Its a good harvest.... one more log and the its the end of the Pasar Malam invasion... :P
