Exercise Is Good For You And Me

After going months without any exercise, I finally went for a jog last night. I think I jogged for 10 minutes and walked for another 20 minutes or so. I was out of breath at the end of it and my legs felt like they were going have a cramp. It shows how unfit I currently am. (Not like I was ever fit before anyways) I went home and did some light weight lifting and sit-ups.

I don’t remember the last time I sweat that much. It was a good workout. My whole body is starting to ache now. I believe it will get worse and stay that way for a day or two. I am 24 and I believe some 42 year olds are fitter than me. *sigh*

Hottest Ringtone In Town! Correct? Right?

I don’t follow much on political blogs. I do get my daily fix from Malaysiakini and Jeff Ooi though but that’s about it.

I received a link in my email yesterday. That is when I found what must be the hottest ringtone in town. You can download the ringtone which is in mp3 format from the original source at polytikus. It is hilarious.

“Correct! Correct! Right! Correct!”

I wonder if those ringtone websites will commercialize this. Maybe they can bundle it as a free download or something. Right? Correct? :-P

Are You A Serial Rapist, Sir?

Have you ever received emails from individuals promoting themselves and wanting to be your “friend”? The content of the letter is basically the same — how they found your email address, introducing themselves, hobby, and a small note at the end.

I received dozens of these emails in the past. I suspect it could be sent by the same person or it could be the works of a copycat. That is because I could almost memorize the “Note” part at the end of the email. They usually end like this:

Note:

1) No direct sales, please. The best quality products are
available in Tesco, Carrefour and Giant.

2) No insurance, please. With more than 10 life policies and PAs,
please leave me alone.

3) No unit trust, please. My aim is to grow my existing portfolio of
RM600,000 to RM1.2 million within the next five years, and, I would
like to do it without your “help”.

I wonder what the aim of the email is. Is it to get your email address when you reply and to spam you with other services later? Or is he hoping to trap some girls into going out with them and then…

This is the title of the email, “nothing wrong with knowing a new friend, right?”. There is nothing wrong with knowing a friend but please be careful who you chat with online.

You Can Lose Weight While Blogging

I think one of my three wishes might just come true. I was scanning through my BlogRush widget and saw this article with the title, “Blogging Got You Out Of Shape?”. Although I wouldn’t credit my weight gain to blogging alone, it sure did contribute to some of it.

I clicked on the link and hoped for some recipes or suggestions that I can use. Instead, I saw this PC-desktop-treadmill combination “object”. The original article can be found at Engadget.

To type while walking should be okay but I am not sure if it is possible to type while running. The biggest disappointment of this will be the price tag — retail price at $6,500.

Can someone “build” me this PC-desktop-treadmill thing using custom table and a treadmill please? I think it would be cheaper that way.

My Three Wishes

There are three things that I desperately need right now.

  1. My Public Bank Debit Card to be approved within one week
  2. Buy a Nikon D40x at the cheapest price possible
  3. Lose 5kg or more within the next two weeks

#1 is totally out of my control. My application is being processed and I told them I need it urgently. The customer care staff told me she will inform the credit card department but there is no guarantee.

#2 cannot happen before #1 has completed. Even then, it may take up to a week or two for me to withdraw me money *slowly* and hopefully will not trigger to panic button on PayPal.

#3 is a mission impossible task. Anyone has a special remedy I can use?
