Nerd Failure!

For those who always have that small thought or perception that is stucked at the corner of your mind about how nerd CHIONG WEN HAO is, here's a scientific result (which is claimed to be highly reliable & effective as it is proven by statisticians who had done this questionnaire randomly on ppl around the world) :

My nerd score :- 23/100 (which falls into nerd wannabe) (but I have no idea who in the world who which to be a nerd wannabe of all the things to be, me included so I strongly suggest this comment is invalid although the test is substantially conclusive of your nerd level)

For some unkwown reasons, I dunno why I couldn't copy & paste the entire layout/site or whatever you call it into my blog. So for those of wish to check their nerd level, pls refer to this site :- http://www.nerdtests.com/ft_nq.php?im

Weights Freak!

As I was exercising in the gym today, saw this guy (guess he's a body builder) doing a bench press (not sure if thats what you call it) with approximately 50kg on each side. In my mind, I was like, what the heck??? Thats is almost 2 times heavier than I do. Can imagine 2 of me hanging at each end of the steel bar & that fella carrying it. Felt so tempted on telling him that he might be facing so many complication. Not to mention he is in his 50++.

I began to wonder. People will just do anything to get in shape. The amount of weights they would lift, the types of diet they will conform to prevent any additional fats from hiding at every corner or your torso, those special drinks or nutritions that they spent $$$ buying, the list goes on. As for girls, or ladies, some even go to the point of not eating, so to speak dieting just to look like their friends, or always complaining non-stop that they are fat but actually, there isnt any excess fats remain in their bodies. People are just weird. Some are so devoted to looking good that they are so disciplined to go to fitness centre everyday before or after work.

Back to my point. I could think of so many reasons why people shouldn't carry excessive weights during workout:

1. You might just get spinal cord injury. There was one time where I saw this young, mat salleh guy & I think he's around 20+ (he looks big but my guess is, the size of his brain is as small as a rat). He was trying to lift the amount of weights as i mentioned above & as he was trying to lift the weights but it was to heavy for him to handle. But being that bozo man who's ego is as big as his size, insisting on lifting it... As I was on the treadmill I saw his back curve as he forcefully lift the weight. This kind gym assistant went & help him but that bozo guy went & scolded the assistant for interfering him. I was thinking, if only he injured himself or the weights fall on him, hrmmm... ok.. not being cruel but well...

2. You might just get hernia. Trust me, being a medical student, having a hernia (this bulge bulging out near your scrotum area or near your groin area due to the weakening of the abdominal wall) isn't the best looking thing that one ever desires. It is ugly, big & paintful. & carrying excessive weights can lead to hernia. I was so tempted to ask that old man if he knows what's hernia or has he got it before. But well, he might just scold me back for being busy body like that mat salleh guy i mentioned above.

3. Sometimes you might just get muscle tear. Don't know if it is very probable but anything is possible right.

4. As for growing age group, carrying excessive weights upright might just hinder your upward growth (not sure if it's proven scientifically, but this is my guess & my own deduction)

5. Someone I have this thought that carrying too heavy weights might just injury yourself. Your vein, nerve whatever. & Straining isn't good cause it will have lots of after effects.

Can't think of further reasons now cause I am waiting for my dinner. But the reasons mentioned above are enough to make you think twice I hope. I suggest everyone should follow my advise: do moderate weights & exercise & tone your muscles. If you wanna build, take it easy & slowly. Don't push it too hard.

We're not call to follow signs & wonders but instead the signs & wonders follow us when the gospel is preached. We don't keep our eyes on signs & wonders; we keep our eyes on Jesus.

Glorious Germany!

Honours To Germany!

Ok, I bet 243 friends of mine are celebrating Germany's downfall against Italy in the semi-final match. Not because they suck or what, but because they have just something against me supporting Germany. So, as you can imagine, when Italy scored the goals, my sweet friends start pooring in SMSes regarding on this matter.

Back to the match... I must say, Italy did play really well. It was a sweet goal & well, they deserve to win. But readers, don't get me wrong. My loyalty stays with Germany despite their lost. No changing teams unlike my best friend, who changed her side twice, first from Brazil, & then to England (which by the way, both lost in the quarters). Bet she will stand for Italy since they managed to beat Germany.

Well what can I say, every end is a new beginning. & I believe this exit for Germany will push the team to a greater level in FIFA 2010. They will be back, better equipped more skillful in year 2010. Although I will receive various forms of torment & belittlement once I meet my friends this Friday, I will not SUBMIT to the critics as I believe, GERMANY PLAYED AWESOME IN MOST OF THEIR GAMES!!!!

Here I would like to add, to those who have the slightest thought of saying anything to me on Germany's lost to Italy, hear my advise first. Reflect on how lousy your team is (except those supporting Italy from beginning) before starting commenting on Germany. For, in my heart, they are the BEST!

I just wanna honour these players for an amazing game: klose for scoring 5 amazing goals for Germany, neuville who although scored one goal against polland deserve much credits than podoski (just dislike him), ballack although did not score any goals yet lead the team til this far, friedrich & lahm who defended well in every match, schneider who although look clumsy but did an amazing job as a midfielder & of course lehmann (who although took over kahn's position as the main keeper & I was kinda unhappy about that at first) saved so many shots from the opponents.

GREAT JOB GERMANY!

Dartboard or Pipeline?

One day during my devotional time, this thought came to my mind: “Don’t let life happen to you. Let life happen through you.”

The first phrase described me to a T, for I tended to see life as something coming at me. I felt like a worn-out dartboard. I was using all my energies to shield myself from the darts of life’s trials.

But the second phrase, “Let life happen through you,” presented a different approach. Instead of dodging life’s fiery darts, I was to let God’s life and love be channeled through me, blessing me on its way to blessing others.-Joanie Yoder

Col1:24Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. 27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

In his letter to the Colossians, Paul mentioned the many troubles he was facing. Yet he was determined to be a channel of blessing by allowing God to work through him. What about you? Are you a dartboard or a pipeline?
