For the longest time, I feel I am ugly. Yes, no kidding.
For an Asian in Asia, I do attract some praises from ladies, lesbian or straight. But I feel very much uncomfortable with their compliments.
Of course I do thank them out of correctness. However, deep down inside I feel very uncomfortable.
Personally, I have a wide ass nose, a flap flap ears, receding hairline, poor skin texture, etc. Personality wise, I doubt I could attract any opposite sex. Sometimes, those more ladies tease me, the more uncomfortable I feel.
I need to shoot a photo with bunch of kids…may be people will think I have many kids and they will stop all these teasing nonsense. LMAO!!!

A member family proposed to hand over 14 training sessions to me. I was delighted.
Here comes the problem.
Apparently, the internal system as well as the management of the gym club “denied” the request for transfer. The possibility is high such that the training sessions could be cancelled.
We were obviously upset and angry. The training costs a US$58 ~ 60bucks per session. That is a total US$840/= bucks loss.
Definitely, we are going to lodge a complaint to the club.
I wanted the training sessions so bad that I have preplan what I like to achieve. This hiccup is not going to ruin my plan.
More and more, I feel this gym (California Fitness) is pissing off with the way they handle clients. It is increasingly favoring more and more NEW customers with special package and free gifts.
Regulars like my friends and I hardly get any free gifts. We have to “beg” for free tshirts. To us, it is not the tshirts we craved for. It is matter of treating your regular clients better. It seems to us, we didn’t get our good share of fair customer service at all. A friend of mine has to pay for the club membership at a much higher rate than newbies.
He left the gym and no one bothers to retain him as a client. What the fuck is that all about?
Recently, I joined a new gym (Planet Fitness), which allows me to talk to a few competitive bodybuilders whenever my rest time permits. The rest time is usually short – 20seconds or so. If I were rest longer than usual, I will kill my bodyparts with 6 sets back-to-back exercises at a go prior to resting.
So far, I was lucky that a fellow competitive bodybuilder is share training advices with me.

Enough is enough.
It’s weird that dinner or drink is seen as a dating game. I have had it with people. You need to eat to live. Dinner is nothing but to socialize and certainly do NOT mean straight sex.
Dinner 3X = Sex 1 time? what kind of bullshit crap is that? I never think of that when I ask a person for dinner. If it is a dude, I ask to go dinner with; does that I want his anus?
Women here in my country have some serious mental issues. E.g. A business partner shared with my department with few muffins. I was given one but without a second thought, I share my muffin with a cute girl from my other department.
I didn’t want those fats/carbs in me so I passed it to her. Just an innocent move as such. People from all angles started asking or hinting I have a thing for her.
What the fuck?!? Women here in my country have some serious mental issues.
As for the girl whom I was going to do dinner/drink with, I’m going to tell that I am an asshole
Being an Asshole is my manly essence. If you don’t like an Asshole, you can stay away from me.

These couple of months have been very terrible for me in terms of relationship with women.
I don’t know how to deal with them. Being a patient person, I have tolerated their nounsenses for months now. I could see through all the bullshits, all the crappy reasons; I just keep it to myself - how I feel and tolerate those crap.
Today, I exploded! I have to … I simply cannot tolerate full-of-shit people (whom let me caught right handed).
It’s so ironic that those I care so much about…they don’t bother about me. Those I don’t care about….they relate/call to me, whatever. So ironic! What is going on? Life really plays me out at this stage of my life, that’s hell !!!
While training has going well, recovery/intensity/growth has been on the uptrend. Work has been hectic and I enjoy that work portion because I get to meet people from all circles. However, people I care about/matters of the heart have been on the reverse trend. It’s so unbelievable.
I don’t mean to disrespect women (I love them). But come on, have some freaking balls to tell me off instead of going around in circle telling me "see how!","I’ll reconfirm with you", etc. Datings & meetings are meant to communicate. They DO NOT lead to sex. They DO NOT lead to bigger things like affair or whatever is going on in their head.
I caught the woman right handed telling me a lie/lame excuses.
You know what?!? I can always go back to my work, my travelling, my training, my new bodybuilding targets. Do something useful for myself.
Skirt chasing is tiring. If it comes, it will.

Mr. Farang, if you can’t stop yourself; you will hurt your motherfucking self…
I do write to remind myself sometimes. At workplace, at home, at many places where I have things in mind to perform; I write down memo or set reminder.
This entry is for the heart. Yes.
So, Mr. Farang…be careful. You either burn the person or get burnt in return.

I cannot believe people still making assumptions here.
Everyone assumes every forumer is America based that all are sharing the same culture. Sorry, if such assumption exists. Don’t make assumptions.
The world has so many countries. Don’t assume each & everyone is from 1 single country. Don’t & do not think so.
It puzzles me (again)….totally. Am I not allowed to ask question? Are those questions offensive?
Frankly, if anyone likes to make assumptions; I won’t sway people’s opinion NOR will I be seeking anyone, everyone to side me at all.
sorry, I do not agree and don’t see eye-to-eye with anyone/everyone on this matter.
Just asking a GENUINE skin tone question need NOT be seen as a racism remark.
Anyone, everyone can take it this way or other way.
My standpoint is clear …….. ask question.
Anyone failed to see it……..I rest my case.
I do not ask your agreement in return.

I don’t know by asking a skin tone color question can have a racist trigger point.
see post #162 - #166 onwards.
Hardly, there is any blacks around my neighborhood, my workplace, my gym, my circle of friends.
Asking a skin tone question, I hope, won’t leave me with moral death sentence.
To be frank, I am more than a racism victim than a racist myself. You NEVER EVER tell me I am a racist. NEVER, PERIOD.
Growing up as a member of a minority race in a town where our race forms less than 7 ~ 8% of the population. I was picked on of members of other races as well as other illegal immigrants.
To hell with them now, I survive the childhood and never go back since. I don’t miss that place. I survive that kind of racism hood without resorting to any violence. REALLY.
If anyone wants to know how racist our world, come join me (racism victim) in my world. I’ll show you, if not, my business contacts will show you how racist our mothafcuking country are. really.
damn. people really get upset over internet, don’t they? damn… To me, if you can get emotional/upset over internet, you seriously need to cut down your web time.
The other weird thing is really……..puzzling. In Asia, you never ask the other person “where the hell do you live?” To us, this is rude. Why?!?
Home is where the heart is. I NEVER ASK another person ……”hey where the hell you live?” I answer the simplest way ever. Really.
It describe how I feel towards my home country as well as how I should respond to another individual.
Please do not take this blog entry as a target on any individual. It is not.
This serves a reminder to forumers……….. get a better life outside internet. that’s all.
Getting upset, angry, emotional over internet. That’s dumb.

Here we are projecting ourselves as a multi-racial country (dominated by 3 major race), living in harmony. We just celebrated our 10year anniversary visit our country year to attract tourists. We project ourselves to the middle east as the moderate Islam, fair to all, multi-cultural, living in harmony, good business practices,etc; underneath such prositive images, lived millions of people marginalized by economic wealth, business opportunities, education opportunities, etc.
E.g. We still hear voices telling us their kids scored exceptional, excellent results and not able to entry into the university. The University entries are still based on quota allocating to 3 races. Once the quota for the 2nd & 3rd races have been filled, these students with excellent results are not allowed to entry into the same university.
There are voices telling us that 1st race had their grades entry qualified "loosen" by fill up their quota even as the results from the 2nd & 3rd race students are far more excellent.
Entry into university based on quota is such bullshit and old fashioned.
We still have a certain race group paying more for housing and vehicles whilst the 1st race group get better discounts.
There is a recent email circulating in my country, which saddens me. I gave my reply duly with respect to body building experience and support the boycott of that restaurant.

I think a boycott is in order – maybe this is Umno ‘ s cunning racist plan to keep the malays on their side and keep voting for them. They have special NEP, special discount for houses – now this. What next – maybe they can buy petrol cheaper and do not have to pay toll – just flash a songkok or something at the smart tag lane and go through free!
Hello everyone. I have some interesting news.
I was in Pizza Hut (Sunway Pyramid) yesterday and suddenly my friend showed me the bill.
The bill contains normal things la (number of person, bill. number and what is ordered). But, what shocked me is that they had space called ‘ RACE ‘ .I guess since we were all wearing tudung, they labelled us as 0, which means MALAY. Later, when we went to pay…we had no service charge and no tax charge.
Still in shock, I peeped into another bill in the counter. In that bill, under the race space, it was labelled as C (which I guess means Chinese). That bill had service and tax charges!!!
I started investigating. One of my Sri Lankan friends was labelled as Indian it seems and she also had to pay service and tax charges a few weeks back. What I ‘ m wondering is that…does anyone know about this? I find it rather strange that they charge service and tax charge using racein Pizza Hut, out of all the places!
WE SHOULD NOT GO EAT AT PIZZA HUT!

”"”UNQUOTE”"”
Subsequently, the particular restaurant manager of the country responded.
“”"QUOTE”"”
<strong />
Dear all my friends whom I have not met, but came across through the circulation of this malicious mail alleging that Pizza Hut Malaysia practises racism, charging sales and service taxes only to certain races and discriminating against others.
Just want to assure you and all your friends that this is a hoax and hate mail that has been going round since mid 2006.
In Malaysia we do not need anymore of such nonsensical and irresponsible lies through the email.
Thus, if you could please re-circulate back to those who has been propagating the hoax and hate mail, we are doing ourselves a favour by telling the truth.
Pizza Hut Malaysia is a Public Listed company and we are bound by law to collect the 5% sales taxes and we also have a 10% service charge on table service as all dining restaurants do.
There is NO service charge if you do a take-out/ takeaway order.
We will never ever deviate from the law of our land. Should we do anything as accused in the hoax and hate mail, we will be asking for big trouble.
At one time, we were collecting some info about our customers to see what is our customer profile so as to help us serve them better.
However, some malicious people have turned it into a hate mail. So it is a lie and please do not believe in the hoax and hate mail.
I am the Senior General Manager of Pizza Hut Malaysia and I am assuring you and your friends that we are also a franchised company from Yum! Restaurants International, another Public Listed company in the US. We are law abiding and honest company.
Final note, I think it is really grossly unfair and unwise for Haris Ibrahim to post a hoax mail (complete with pix to make it look real) on your website without checking its authenticity.
Someone once said that if we kick-around a lie around long enough, people will believe it as a truth.
Haris Ibrahim, efforts like this will undermind your very credibility that you are championing!
Your help to just circulate this to your friends will be greatly appreciated.
In addition, I have also attached our official statement for your attention.
Thanks for your help
Write me! (EMAIL INSERTED)
Lawrence Ding
Senior General Manager
Pizza Hut Restaurants Malaysia Berhad.
Mobile: 019 329 8687

“”"UNQUOTE”"”
My reply is as followed:
I am not from IT. It’s for those who have study digitial photography perhaps can check the photos out.
( i ) is there a photographic forgery?
( ii ) has Pizza Hut studied the photo and confirmed those photos are real/fake?
( iii ) In defense of such claims that such email is hoax, should the Pizza Hut organization advise the above ( i ) & ( ii ) before stating so?
If you are in exercise, bodybuilding, keeping fit, etc, which I noticed there is such a trend rising in Malaysia; I will advise you this.
( a ) every fitness instructor will educate you that you can bulk with other bulking food; there is NO NEED for pizza.
( b ) But if you are into keeping slim, fit; pizza hut is the last place you want to visit. You do not need simple carbs for keeping fit. Pizza Hut is serving your simple carbs, why bother going there?
( c ) save your money and have a massage with the money in hand.

I saw a blog entry by J_watsy describing the people around his lives. I gave it a thought and decided to post one entry revolving people around me.
Bascially I have 4 groups of people around my lives.
My family - My parents supported me to take up bodybuilding as a way of living. They have no preference on how I look. They accept the way I am and I am most thankful for that. In reality, they like a fat looking me. That’s the historical Chinese mentality. When you’re fat looking, you have more luck and wealth. I don’t believe in that, of course. I know it sounds bull shit to many but I cannot deny my origins. My inlaws asked me to quit bodybuilding since I was injured.
The more they asked me to quit. The more I piled up the passion to body build, the deepe the love I have grown for body building, weights training. I cannot wait til the day my wound and injuries have healed. I cannot wait til the day when the beast has its flesh completely recovered. I cannot wait til the day when I rised and kill the gym once more.
My friends - I have friends who left me since I took up bodybuilding exercises. Things are the same as used to be. They think ONLY steroids/drugs use can lead any bodybuilder to grow. I can understand you MAY need drugs to compete in certain sports and it is upto the person to decide to use it or not. In my case, which I am not competing. I don’t see the need to use drug. In any case, it’s not about drug use here. I lost some friends due to their misinformation. Sad but true in reality.
I met new friends in bodybuilding, who shared similar opinions as me. Get ripped, get big, get veiny, etc. I get even more thrilled if I know more ladies doing the same sports as me. I certainly learn from ladies in my gym and in this forum.
My colleagues - They never agreed to it! They always argued that the customers in our industry are intimidated by a rough and tough looking person. A sales & marketing person should have some kind of a polite/gentle look. It took some years for my customers and my colleagues to accept who I am and bodybuilding is my hobby. However, til date they still cast a skeptical opinion on bodybuilding as an exercise. They would asked me to skip BCAA, creatine, whatever supplement stacks I have.
My relatives - That includes my inlaws. They made jokes about bodybuilding as sports. They would say muscles would turn fats as we age. Or bodybuilders have no brains at all. Bodybuilders cannot be businessmen, etc. I knew at least 2 cousin inlaws who always make fun of me as a bodybuilding lover. But never once they acknowledge any appreciation to this bodybuilding lover (me) who hinted investment opportunies to them.
You know what? I won’t them affect me one bit. People who support me, will always be there. Those who doubted Bodybuilding as a good exercise regime, will never support me ever. I’m not to be affected by the negatives surround my life. I have other negatives to deal with already, why ask for more when some of them can easily dealt with by simple ignorance?
You do not need to please everyone and do what keeps you happy. Simple but true.
