Why you should not work too hard..

...because by the time you reach home, there is simply not enough time to do all the things that you want to do. *sigh* You will be too tired to do a lot of things too. At 11.41pm, I am so ready to doze off. And I suspect working overtime kinda makes you age faster? I was putting moisturizer on my face and was like, oh my gawd, I look so tired and my employer is not gonna pay for my anti-aging skin treatment nor botox nor plastic surgery.  Imagine if you have spouse and kids??? They gonna miss you so much. (okay, I am single at the moment so this may not be relevant for me..but hey, maybe to you, eh?).  Let's shall not forget to make a life tomorrow, people! Cheers! 

Does working out inside a hot temperature room burn more calories?

Due to a certain gluttony lunch activity today (buffet sponsored by boss, woot!), I have to force myself to go to the gym. I joined a Lesmills class called Body Jam (which I heard is a cardio exercise inspired by dance movement) which I suppose can make feel kinda less guilty after that lunch buffet extravaganza. =P But the studio feels so stuffy. After 30 mins has passed, the feeling inside the studio has resembled those of sauna. DAMN HOT.  This makes me wonder if I should just ditch the class or endure with a positive thinking that working out inside a hot temperature room burns more calories. Wait, does it? Oh boy, I've turned into an onsen egg inside the class. #exaggerating So far, the results from Google search has been quite a roller coaster ride of emotion: 1. Yes, as your body will burn more calories as it needs to cool itself (whoa!? sounds good!) 2. Yes, as your heart needs to work harder to both keep your muscles well oxygenated during cardio and...

Why "pretty" is the best trait of a game's main character?

Welcome to the wonder of role-playing-games (or in short, RPG). My friend has to brag about the upcoming Final Fantasy game for PS4 and here I am, without the console (and the money to buy the console), sulking on the corner of the room. *sob* While waiting for the raining cash from heaven, I am reminiscing my school-days where I spent most of my time role-playing different RPG characters in front of my old  retro telly. Now that I'm grown up (in age but not at heart apparently since I still get all jelly from my friend's FF post), I do wonder what makes role-playing the main character of RPG so exciting? Square Enix (the producer of Final Fantasy series) said that pretty emo teens are the magic RPG formula. Well I don't disagree with them as my beloved RPG main characters are Cloud Strife (FFVII) and Squall Leonheart (FFVIII). Tidus (FFX) is also pretty and young but he's not emo enough. #fangirlmode Are they your high-school crush too? =P

Why nobody likes Monday?

"Oh no, it's Monday again!"  I am too blues to face Monday in less than an hour. So I am gonna write a random excuses to justify why Monday is so unlikeable. 1. We don't really like our job Face it, most of us are working just to sustain life. And hence, as working is such a burden, we see weekends as a light at the end of the tunnel. Our euphoria moment. Obviously, we feel so depressed when it's over. 2. We are not morning person And guess what, the first day that you need to wake up earlier-than-normal (by normal here I mean 10AM earliest) is Monday. Yawnnn~~~ 3. We don't like to face certain people And these people usually exist in those places that we need to visit the most often e.g. office and school. Ughh. Monday is a bitch. (This may not apply to those working during weekends. =P) 4. We have not finished what we plan to do during weekends Weekend is too short. Well, considering the fact that there are 5 days of working days and on...

Procrastinating is one of life's survival skill

If you are wondering if I'm postponing my exercise plan again, well, you are not wrong. Hahaha. But even I know, that cannot be categorised as a good procrastination. So, if that's the case, is procrastination really a positive habit in life? Yes, I still believe that.  1. It gives you time to stop and breathe Living in a fast-paced environment leaves you a little time to stop and breathe while doing your never-ending activities. Procrastination gives you that chance to just stop, breathe and gather yourself together.  2. It lets you prioritise what really matters Procrastination gives you chance to just stop and prioritise which activity that you need to complete first. And this is especially important in your career. Although at this point, it kinda makes me wonder if prioritising is the better name of procrastinating skill. LOL.  3. It gives you the chance to enjoy things in life Like more sleeping times instead of hours spent at the gym. O...
