Cuti-Cuti Kuantan

Feb 282010

As the saying goes, “a wise traveller never despises his own country” [Carlo Goldoni].

I have just completed the “cuti-cuti Kuantan” plan with my friends. Funny that I organised a trip to my own hometown, but it was fun. We had a great day at Sepat beach and Sungai Pandan waterfall. We had great dinner at the famous seafood area Tanjung Lumpur, and we had one civilised lunch at the biggest mall on the east coast side, the East Coast Mall.

Uphill Battle

Feb 122010

It will be an uphill battle for me to maintain my current weight during this festive season.

This morning, my Naked Body Mass check revealed that I am 64.3 kg in weight. It has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for my body mass these past few days; “pasar malam” didn’t help much with all the treadmill and circuit training that I have laboured myself into.

The interesting fact is that I wrote this piece from my hometown in Kuantan. It is a wonder for me to take one day off and get in return 5-days holiday. My company was grateful enough to give us all replacement holidays on Tuesday since Chinese New Year falls on Sunday and Monday.

So what’s the relationship between my weight and me being in my hometown? The answer is: good home-made food. Nothing can beat your mom’s cooking, or your dad’s culinary skills. The foods that they prepared fore you are just begging for you to throw out your diet regime out of the window.

It will be interesting to see how many kilos that I will gain after I came back from this long holiday. :)
