i need tricep and abdominal workouts. the reason's simple. i'm getting fat! and that's a fact! the scientific name for our tricep muscles are called brachialis, the brachii and the pronator teres. but their know as tricep muscles in simpler terms. many older folks refrain from clapping too hard or wearing sleeveless shirts because of the jiggling jelly that bounces under their arms.
they're indeed a much dreaded underarm dilemma.
so i checked out some websites and here are some ways you can shed off that blob of jelly.
dumbbell kickbacks
try these standing. place one arm on your knee at a slightly bent over posture. with your free hand, take your dumbbell [with a manageable weight] and hold it to the side of your hip. your elbow should be bent and aligned with your body.then slowly, raise your arm behind you in an upward motion. as you do this, your elbow and your arm straightens out. raise your arm until it is parallel to the floor and your arm is completely straight. squeeze your arm during the contraction for a second or two, then slowly bring your weight your down to your side. repeat the motion for 3 sets of 10-12 repeatitions on each arm.
i think i'd only type one la. too lazy to type, aafter such a tiring day.
today's the day which i went to moe for the stupid interview. on the whole it was ok, just that they noticed that a lot of stuff on my testimonial and on my cca record were sports and athletics stuff and kept questioning why i chose to go for this art teacher thing and bla bla bla. it was super irritating. why can't they accept the darn fact that one can be good at two things. [harhar] and it's also cos track and field was my cca. and the outdoor adventure and kayaking are just part of the training regime and activities. it's also part of my community involvement programme. if i did not join track, i think my now i'd be some stupid kuku who joined art club in secondary school. by the way, it used to be for dropouts. so let me ask what's wrong with me joining all these sports stuff? so what really is it that they expect form me? or rather, from us? why is always to easy to see the negative side of things? dont they expect teachers to be all rounders as well? surely they won't want teachers who cant do anything besides drawing and painting right? they jolly well be plain idiots. oh and i can't stand the interviewers, especially the chairman. she's so darn irritating. keep giving me the stupid smirk on her face, as if her questions are so intelligent, and as though nobody can make it to the rank she's holding now. i hate these kind of people. k la. i dont want to talk about this anymore. if not all my xiang words will soon sprout. i think i need anti irritants. someone please formultae it please.
i have another thing to complain about. it's about golden mile complex. i shall say this once and for all. i vow not to return to that place ever again. you see, that place can be described with just one word, and that is, filthy. once you step out of the car in the carpark, you can already smell the stench of the bins. cos the management stupidly put the bins at the staircase lobbies. the whole building's dimly lit as well. the wooden railings are falling apart, the floors are slimy and the gaps in between the floor tiles are already black. goodness gracious. how can this be a building in singapore? i thought only malaysia had this kind of buildings. now you see how much i dont like malaysia. i think the complex's airconditioning and ventilators are also spoilt. you can smell the toilet, the thai spices, the food [some of which i presume has turned bad], body odour of thai workers all mixed into one. just you imagine how the smell would be like. indeed, an aroma. i'm not condeming thais here. it's just that the building's horrible. i'm a clean freak.[did i mention neat?] the only thing that's nice is the beef noodles, minus the cow stomach, intestines et cetera. i like the thai chilli powder too. it's lovely.
yes, did i mention about their salad? it comprises of raw bean sprouts and another raw veggie, better known to me as grass. you call this salad? i dont think even cows would eat it. again, i'm not trying to discriminate thais, but just that some food are just not to my liking, like say, veggies, and not to mention raw ones. of course, other thai dishes are lovely, like the mango salad, mango and glutinous rice and durian with glutinous rice. they're simply heavenly. thailand's a relatively nice place to go to. with beautiful pristine beaches, crystal clear water [eco-tourism, i learnt in geography]. also, one can get imitation branded stuff like oakley sunglasses for just a couple of bahts. yup yup.
as i sat in bus 86 on my way home, i couldnt help but eavesdrop a conversation from a sec one boy and a sec3 girls from a certain secondary school. the guy, openly asked the girl to be his stead!! and i was like oh my goodness oh my goodness. the guy said ' you're a nice girl. very nice. i this kind of people very good one, tut tut one'. then the girl said 'but you're two years younger than me! ' the boy blushed. i dont know where he got the courage to openly announce in public that he was a repeat student in primary 6. i dunno why some people just dont feel embarrassed. heh.
