今天一早就收到了一个老朋友的简讯，问我何时回家乡，当我收到这则简讯时，就知道是过新年了，又可以打麻将了。哈哈，他就是我的中学时期的老友，同时也是新年期间的麻将友~郑武！虽然我们不在同一个地方，可是每年接近新年的时候，不是他先发简讯问我，就是我会发简讯问他，何时回乡，我们这样的友情也维持了十多年了吧！真的有趣，有趣！
可是今年应该不会有太多时间打麻将吧，因为回去的时间也蛮短的，而且也蛮久没有回家了，想多一点时间陪伴家人！明天一早就回去了，希望大家今年有个快乐的新年吧！兔年大吉！

可以回家过年了
一年一度的华人新年即将到来了，这也是我最兴奋的时刻，因为终于可以回家了。我本身是一个家庭观念比较重的人，所以每当新年回到家后，大部分的时间都是呆在家，好好休息，陪伴着家人。
回到家乡后最想见的人？当然是父亲大人，哥哥，大嫂，小侄儿，弟弟，婆婆，菱的家人，外婆，姑姑，叔叔叔母们，舅舅舅母们，堂弟们，表哥表姐们，表弟表妹们，麻将脚们，朋友们和所有人。。。哈哈！
回到家乡后最想做的事？先呆在家，享受一下家里的温暖，和父亲多聊聊天，找婆婆，去菱的家，吃团年饭，菱家人的粉面，生肉面，香底米粉，锅贴，鱼片米粉，打一圈麻将，看Astro等等等等。。。超期待的！
今天看了星州日报的活力副刊，说到过节了，老人准备了一桌饭菜，可是孩子却打电话来说“不回了”，老人呆坐在沙发上。。。可怜天下父母心啊！虽然我还没有成为父母，可是当我看到这句话时，觉得很心疼。华人新年了，身为华人子弟的我们会有理由说不回家一起过新年吗？
如果有看新闻，在中国，每年的新年，将会有近20亿人口为了回家过年而焦头烂额，挤爆各个车站呢。这些都是因为亲情的召唤，他们只想回去看看年迈的父母亲还好吗。而我们在马来西亚的还蛮幸运的，因为回家只是轻而易举的事，所以我们还有不回家的理由吗？
好像我们如果要回家，比起一些西马人来说，就苦难一点，因为要搭飞机。很多半岛这边的朋友，有些来自柔佛，马六甲，槟城，森美兰等等的地方，常常都听到他们说回家乡，感觉好羡慕呢，随时都可以见到家人。而我们东马沙巴那边一年也许只回两次到三次而已。
这是前年在台北机场拍下的，我还记得呢！真的很想家，倒数八天！家~我要回来了。

爱上了健身舞蹈运动
自从开始学习了Zumba舞蹈运动之后，发现自己越来越爱健身活动了，尤其是团体运动的教导，果然是做教练做上了瘾，现在想要往这一方面的兴趣发展，很想要当健身舞蹈的教练，带动团队一起跳舞运动。
刚刚被列入到2011年的梦想清单，就是成为健身和舞蹈教练，同时也可以配合营养计划，来达到健康的效果。既然选择了健身或舞蹈，大部分的人都是为了寻求健康，控制体重等等吧，所以觉得这是一个可以配合到目前工作的挑战。
想要当一个健身和舞蹈教练，当然要从学习开始，还有自己也要关注健康，还好之前关于健康和营养的学习还不赖，所以基本上都觉得自己非常的健康了。那关于身材方面呢，目前已经很勤劳地锻炼了，还有学习舞蹈。
无论如何，在Marcia那边学习了几个星期，加上自己的研究和练习，昨天晚上第一次在我的俱乐部里教我们的会员跳舞运动，因为是第一次，所以都是由基本开始。梦想的起步就是这里啦，就从一个小小的地方开始，由几个人来开始，摄取经验！
照片左边是27岁，右边是28岁，现在30岁了，不晓得会不会觉得有点迟才来开始锻炼，现在感觉上骨头都已经老化了，可是总比没有开始来的好吧，毕竟这是自己想要的。还好这几年来都保持到好的饮食和生活习惯，健康方面还不错，超过两年没有见过医生了，身材方面还不错，从当初的XL变到现在的S了。
为什么突然有这样的念头呢？相信很多人想到要控制体重，都会想到从运动开始吧？可是运动了一段时间，看不到效果后，又放弃了运动，而身材又突然爆胖了。而我则想要透过自己的专业来帮助人，让人们了解运动固然重要，但是配合均衡营养的饮食才是最重要的。
另外一个原因是想要挑战自己的极限，想要拥有健硕的身材是我梦寐以求的呢！人体肌肉量越多就会有良好的体力和耐力，所以想要将自己的体力发挥到最佳的状态，相信感觉一定会很棒的吧！
这样的身材还好吧，不会太过夸张，我就往这样去吧！

健身日记-7 Most Effective Exercises
Does Your Workout Work?
These seven exercises deliver results -- whether you do them at a gym or at home. Pay close attention to the form demonstrated by the personal trainer in these slides -- good technique is a must for a safe, effective workout. If you're new to exercise, over 40, have a health problem, or take regular medication, check with your doctor before starting a fitness program.
No. 1: Walking
Why it's a winner: You can walk anywhere, anytime, either on a treadmill or with no equipment other than a good pair of shoes.
How to: Beginners should start by walking five to 10 minutes at a time, gradually moving up to at least 30 minutes per session. As you progress, lengthen the time of your walks before boosting your speed or incline.
No. 2: Interval Training
Why it's a winner: Adding interval training to your cardio workout can boost fitness, burn more calories, and help you lose weight. The basic idea: Vary the intensity of your aerobic workout to challenge your body instead of loafing in your comfort zone.
How to: Push up the pace for a minute or two, then back off for 2-10 minutes, depending on the length of your workout and how much time you need to recover. Do this throughout the workout.
No. 3: Squats
Why it's a winner: Squats work multiple muscle groups -- the quadriceps, hamstrings, and gluteals -- at the same time.
How to: Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and your back straight. Bend your knees and lower your rear as if you were sitting down in a chair, keeping your knees over your ankles.
Squats: Technique Tip
Practice with a real chair to master this move. First, sit all the way down in the chair and stand back up. Next, don't sit all the way down; barely touch the chair's seat before standing back up. Lastly, graduate to doing squats without a chair.
No. 4: Lunges
Why it's a winner: Like squats, lunges work all the major muscles of the lower body. Lunges also help improve your balance.
How to do it: Take a big step forward, keeping your spine straight. Bend your front knee to approximately 90 degrees. Keep weight on your back toes and drop the back knee toward the floor-- but don't let it touch the floor.
Lunges: Extra Challenge
Try stepping not just forward, but back and out to each side, with each lunge.
No. 5: Push-ups
Why it's a winner: Push-ups strengthen the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.
How to: Face-down, place hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Place toes or knees on the floor, creating a smooth line with your body, from shoulders to knees or feet. Keeping rear-end muscles and abdominals engaged, lower and lift your body by bending and straightening your elbows, keeping your torso stable throughout the move.
Push-ups: Too Hard? Too Easy?
Beginners may start doing push-ups leaning into their kitchen counters, then working their way down to a desk or chair, onto the floor with knees bent, and on the floor on their toes. To make it harder, put your feet on a stair, bench, or couch while maintaining good form.
No. 6: Abdominal Crunches – Method A
Begin by lying on your back with feet flat on the floor and palms supporting your head. Press your low back down. Contract abdominals and raise first your head (tucking your chin slightly), then your neck, shoulders, and upper back off the floor.
Abdominal Crunches -- Method B
Do crunches with your feet off the floor and knees bent. This technique may help you avoid arching your back; it also engages your hip flexors.
Abdominal Crunches: Troubleshooting
Keep your neck in line with your spine. Don't stick your chin out. Don't hold your breath. To keep chest and shoulders open, keep your elbows out of your line of vision.
No. 7: Bent-Over Row
Why it's a winner: The bent-over row works all the major muscles of the upper back, as well as the biceps.
How to: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, bend knees, and flex forward at the hips, then engage the abdominals and extend spine to add support. Hold weights beneath the shoulders with hands shoulder-width apart. Flex elbows and lift both hands toward the sides of body. Pause, then slowly lower hands to the starting position.
Bent-over Rows: Tips for Beginners
Beginners should perform the move without weights. If you have trouble doing this exercise standing up, support your weight by sitting on an incline bench, facing backward.

健康日记-慢性病要人命！
资料来自中国报
你以為，癌症、糖尿病、心血管疾病、中風、慢性肺部疾病只不過是“文明病”，其實，你錯了！它們都是最危險的致命殺手！
世界衛生組織數據顯示：
★每年，非傳染性疾病造成的死亡率佔60%，造成近3500萬人死亡，其中約900萬人的年齡在60歲以下！
★2005年，全球有1700萬人死于心血管疾病，相等于全球死亡率的30%！
★2004年，全球有740萬人死于癌症，大約全球死亡率的13%！
★2005年，2億2000萬人患有糖尿病，110萬人死于糖尿病！
★每一年，400萬人死于呼吸系統疾病！
數據告訴了我們真相，比起引起恐慌的傳染病，這些悄無聲息攻擊人類健康的非傳染性疾病，才是最可怕的敵人。
因此，制止全球非傳染性疾病的上升趨勢，不僅是全球醫療界迫在眉睫的重大挑戰，也是我國衛生部刻不容緩的重大任務，當然，更是全民必須共同承擔的責任！
可悲的是。。。
今天不小心看到了中国报的封面新闻，还要讲，当然都是一些可悲的新闻啦，那是关于马来西亚的自杀率，了解过后才知道哪个数据还蛮严重的，为什么有那么多人轻易地轻生呢？难道世间上真的没有其他值得留恋的人事物吗？你有想过轻生吗？老实说，我曾经。。。
轻生的原因大部分都是来自生活上的壓力，加上感情、家庭、婚姻及錢財等問題，这些都是让人容易萌生自殺念頭的原因，因为可以逃避，可以一了百了那样潇洒。
其实生命真的很可贵，没有什么困难的问题比留着生命来的重要。對于那些因感情挫折而自殺的人，他們並不明白什么是生命。所以生命教学这个行业渐渐地蓬勃起来了。
自殺者是在經歷許多困難、打擊、心靈的痛苦、恐懼，或是感覺到自己一無是處，甚至沒有人可以幫忙，才會選擇自殺結束生命。
誰會有自殺傾向？
1）憂鬱症或精神分裂患者
2）曾經有過自殺經驗者
3）獨居者如伴侶逝世
4）中老年單身男女或離婚者
5）自小屢受打擊，如親人去世、家庭不幸福、父母婚姻出問題等，或被人虐待者
6）受到親友自殺影響的人士
7）生意失敗、事業不如意者
尋求協助的年齡層與比率
20歲以下－－10%
21至30歲－－25%
21至40歲－－20%
41至50歲－－15%
51至60歲－－ 5%
其他（沒有說明年齡）－－ 5%
尋死原因與比率
男女關係－－20%
婚姻－－10%
家庭－－10%
性生活問題－－12%
工作－－ 7%
孤單－－ 8%
精神病－－ 9%
其他（欠債、疾病）－－24%
资料来自中国报
其实我们有幸成为人，就要好好珍惜了，绝对不可以因为一些小问题就想到轻生。要学习如何当一个坚强的人，学习如何面对问题，学习凡事都没有问题的心态，学习为了自己，家人，爱人，朋友，某个人，某件事而活下去吧！要活也要有价值地活下去，因而你的价值会影响到身边的人。试想想，如果你是积极正面的人，被你影响的绝对也是积极正面的。如果你是消极悲观的人，身边的人也会很轻易被你而影响到的。
所以我们要成为生命的斗士，每当我面对到问题，我都会想我所拥有的。一般的人习惯性会想自己没有的，却忽略了其实自己拥有的更多，因此就慢慢地走向不归路。
我相信，我们都比他幸运吧！努力活下去吧！

Action vs. Self-Delusion
by Jim Rohn
Knowledge fueled by emotion equals action. Action is the ingredient that ensures results. Only action can cause reaction. Further, only positive action can cause positive reaction.
Action. The whole world loves to watch those who make things happen, and it rewards them for causing waves of productive enterprise.
I stress this because today I see many people who are really sold on affirmations. And yet there is a famous saying that “Faith without action serves no useful purpose.” How true!
I have nothing against affirmations as a tool to create action. Repeated to reinforce a disciplined plan, affirmations can help create wonderful results.
But there is also a very thin line between faith and folly. You see, affirmations without action can be the beginnings of self-delusion. And for your well-being there is little worse than self-delusion.
The man who dreams of wealth and yet walks daily toward certain financial disaster and the woman who wishes for happiness and yet thinks thoughts and commits acts that lead her toward certain despair are both victims of the false hope which affirmations without action can manufacture. Why? Because words soothe and, like a narcotic, they lull us into a state of complacency. Remember this: To Make Progress You Must Actually Get Started!
The key is to take a step today. Whatever the project, start today. Start clearing out a drawer of your newly organized desk... today. Start setting your first goal... today. Start listening to motivational programs... today. Start a sensible weight-reduction plan... today. Start calling on one tough customer a day... today. Start putting money in your new “investment for fortune” account... today. Write a long-overdue letter... today. Anyone can! Even an uninspired person can start reading inspiring books.
Get some momentum going on your new commitment for the good life. See how many activities you can pile on your new commitment to the better life. Go all out! Break away from the downward pull of gravity. Start your thrusters going. Prove to yourself that the waiting is over and the hoping is past—that faith and action have now taken charge.
It’s a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be amazed at how much progress you’ll be able to make. What have you got to lose except the guilt and fear of the past?
