Hi simbh! Thanks a bunch and don't be a stranger in here! . I hope I'll see some good results, this is my second journal by the way, the first one was all about recovering from a slipped disk.

Can you get me a job over there? Do all the women look as good as you?

J, you are really silly now, LOL And besides I am not Asian!!

I could help you look for one, though they normally give jobs to slightly older expats than you , not much older just a little , they kinda think experience and skill come with years of working... but if you are the type that doesn't mind being away from home, and you are open minded to different cultures and customs, you should definitely give it a try as soon as you hit 25.

The best deal is to get a job with an american MNC that has a branch here, as they will pay you in USD. If your job here pays you in local currency, you'll live like a king here, but you'll go back home a pauper!

PreMier

Silly girl, I know your not asian

I think that would be really awesome to live out there for a while. I always wanted to live in a foreign country(Italy), but Malaysia would do!
What should my area of expertise be in? I have a few years untill I am 25.

anything really, as long as you work for an MNC, though I see people in any sorts of engineering and high-end IT jobs ( we call them field -evangelists) get jobs easier. They are like sales people, but only in charge of educating ( preaching).

And I guess keep an eye on fastest growing segments of IT, storage and IT services, cuz no matter what, those 2 will grow, they did even during very bad depression recently, which means such companies will be employing more. Especially here in Asia, where the state of IT adoption and sophistication is like 10 years behind the US.

But then again, those jobs might be a tad boring for you so then I dunno what to tell you!

My breakfast today was what I usually have for my PW meal - whey and raw oats Left me feeling like I just came out of the gym! Why you ask? Well this missy went out partying lots and lots over the weekend and forgot to buy her groceries! This morning I open my fridge and there's nothing in it, no eggs, no cottage cheese, no tuna, no bread, no oat groats.....

Yesterday I went to my friend's gym to workout with her, and let me tell you, it's the biggest and the coolest gym I've ever seen! The lights are dim, and they have that 'spaceship" blue light creeping from under the floor, the equipment is fantastic!! I think te Smith machine was hydraulic! Even if you let the bar free-fall, it moves ever so slowly. The gym is so big, it's not likely it will ever be full!! And they have grrrreat LOUD music!! And its cheaper than my gym . The only thing is, it's out of the way for me, too far and bad traffic on that stretch....

So I did leggies yesterday, can't post the poundage cuz the machines were different, and much heavier than the ones I usually work out with.

Training.

Legs
Leg presses - 4X20
Smith Squats - 2X20, 2X15
Leg curls - 3X20
Leg extensions - 3X20
Leg adduction - 2X20
Leg abduction - 2X20

Diet:

M1: 1.5 slice WW home made bread, FF cheese spread, 1 egg, 3 EW
M2: freed ( and blotted) fish, brown rice, cucumber, spinach, long beans, apple
M3: PW - whey and oats
M4: 1/2 C white rice, steamed seabass in lime and chilli, clear prawn soup, asparagus,

Will post the macros laterssssssssss

simbh

I somehow knew that out of my 5000-words post, you were gonna zoom in exactly on that one!! I had visitors ( and I am sticking to that as my official excuse!) LOL

Simbh, this gym is huge, especially for Malaysian needs, I think it's like 10,000sqft. And I hated my breakie hahahah, can't wait to go for lunch now!

PreMier

Soo.. whoo were the visitors?

Oh, and thats not the only think I 'zoomed' in on. I recall something about blue spaceship lights

I swear to ya, there was a deep blue light coming ( somehow) from under the floor! So in a way, you see yourself in the mirror perfectly well at your station, but U can't see very well what other people are doing, which gives an impression of privacy.

Visitors were some colleagues/friends from Singapore that I visited 2 weeks ago! As you can see, we visit each other whenever some good, hard partying is in order!

Good morning Dalila. Have a great day!

Banish bad eating days forever!
Make every day a good eating day

kim

Morning Dalila,

I just went finally through your journal and realized that we are the same height and same weight Wow that's will be great for me reading your log section and see how you work your plan as well and received good tips from it.

Does it make a long time you are in Malysia, where were you from before. Just too bad that this gym is too far away for you. I just change gym, and it's indredible the big difference of tools and Machine as well.

Keep your great job, you are doing fantastick

[b]kim - Fit by 43

dalila

good evening!! And good morning to me LOL.

Yesterday was a rest day, well a rest day from the gym that is, however I spent 3 hours on my feet tasting 60 bottles of wine! We have this huge wine gala at our club every December, and the wine is usually much cheaper and it can be tasted before buying, so that's when we stock up for xmas, new year and the year ahead.

Diet:
M1: 1/2 c oats, whey
M2: 1/2 C brown rice, 150gm chicken, pumpkin,cabbage, okra, 1/2 guava, a slice of papaya
M3: 2 eggs fishies
M4: 6 chicken satays, black mushroom
M5: 6 oysters, salmon steak, broccoli

WINE - amount questionable!

dalila

Hey Kerri, I am fine, if you can call this holiday mood I am in, fine Gosh, I wake up everyday and feel like its sunday and I have to work!!

Kim, thanks for visiting my journal dear. We might be the same hight and weight but that's where the similarity ends You are so nice, muscular, and lean, I am a little pudgy baby-bear! I am actually counting on you and people like you to help me transform into a beatuiful muscular, lean woman too!

I've been in Malaysia for 13 years now, nearly half of my life, I like it here. I am originally from former Yugoslavia - Bosnia. Don't be a stranger here, okays?

PreMier

65 bottles!?!

What is the currency in Malaysia, and how much was that?(can I ask that? )

P-side Inc.

"the post-workout high is more profound than any drug-induced rush imaginable." -Dante B.

dalila

yes YOU can LOL!
The currency is Ringgit (RM). The alcohol in M'sia is rather expensive, but this was a sale of wines sponsored by the club I belong to, so the bottles were on about 30% cheaper. I paid about RM2500 for the wine, but that's for the whole next year .

Oh and 1USD=RM 3.8

PreMier

Thats just over 10$ a bottle. Thats not bad at all I am afraid of one thing though.. wil
