FAT NATION?


Not surprising. Malaysia is so blessed with the variety of food available a stone's throw away.
Lets recap the stats from The MySoN (Malaysian Shape of the Nation) survey:

54% of the adult population is either obese or overweight.

48% of Malaysian men
62% Malaysian women are fat.

To break it up further in terms of race:

Indians 63.4%
Malays 53.5%
Chinese 50.8%
Others 45.2%

If you are,
> 90cm (35.4 inches) for men
> 80cm (31.5 inches) for women
you are considered OBESE!!!!


Time to take stock, guys.
  • Don't eat too much, especially fast food and carbonated drinks
  • Use the staircase instead of lifts and escalators
  • Exercise, exercise, exercise.
Malaysians,
CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE.

fasting month...

its been a while since I write. been too busy, really. today is the eve of the start of fasting month. i am writing at the comfort of not so comfortable overly expensive coffee joint in Sunway Pyramid. Its a lot happening than I thought. Surprising there are all kinds of food here, from kebabs to sandwiches, from waffles to roti canai. Of course on the eve before the battle between the desire and will, everything looks just so good. I was looking for something to eat, in the end I settle for Auntie Annes's pretzel. Yummy. Now here I am in the coffee joint with coffee of the day by my side.
There are lots of things that you are not suppose to do during the fasting month. For one, you should not have angry outburst for no reason. Not that you can for the rest of the year, in my opinion emotional outburst followed by physical torture will only rip you inside. What's the point for being angry at other people's stupidity. Let it be.
My time in Starbucks is up due to unforseen 'outburst'. Chow.

by the way, coffe of the day was Kenyan.
