Kirksman Is More Than A Name

WHAO!!!

Woah!!!!!! Finally……everything’s taking a slight pause. It’s been amazingly fast these few days, the assignments were all passed up which leaves a more relieved me.
Now what’s left is a silly PMS or Malaysian Studies examination which is basically a pass/fail paper. Then there’s Microeconomics and Psychology which is very important I would have to say. I find both papers very interesting, but I don’t think I can say that they’re very easy though. There’s a myriad of information to cram into the head.

Then I just came back from a camp. D2Y again, and it’s a real mess. I created a few games for telematch and they didn’t turn out very right. One of the most fun games, turned out to be a true disaster. 2 boys had their temples hit together, 1 boy was kicked in his chest and 1 more boy cut his lip terribly. It bled like mad. One of our committee’s had his legs cut badly because of a silly piece of glass on the field. Me being hemophobic, felt dizzy and almost vormited at that moment itself. It was hard to hold back the puking feel.

COnclusioN? We’ll have to test out the games to avoid such casualties.

Anyway, my dad got muah a camera so it’s cool. Hehe, what a surprise. I just came back to Malacca, so hello all!!!!!

Like my mirror? That was thanks 2 being the most “SS” committee in camp. Or shok sendiri. Duno why I kena also. Then I forgot to take the mirror. Stupid me!! Argh….There’s like a toNne of pcis, which I’ve gotta get to later. I’ve got a few other interesting presents.


Here’s somethign Clarissa’s dad gave me. It’s Jack Canfield’s The SUccess Principles, book. Coming from a man like that, I was absolubtly delighted and lost for words. I HAD to call him to say thanks. It was great to have such a book from such a great man!! Joy joy Joy!

Here’s my cool looking military tag. So nice…..I’m in love with it, and heck yeah the person that gave it too!

I like this pic!

Bodybuilding is the worst sport

Filed under: Uncategorized — kirksman @ 5:40 pm

That you can ever indulge yourself in. Reason? It’s got inhibitively high costs, high chances of dangers in the future part of life, big potential in getting yourself hurt while in the gym and it’s a lifetime dedication to the sport.

Let’s start with the costs;

An average bodybuilder looking to pack more mass will need to spend money for six meals a day. For me, I require about six meals a day and I’m supposed to consume approxmiatelly 3500 calories a day and at least 160GMS of protein. Let’s see the costs;

Breakfast;

8 eggs = RM2
400ML milk + oats = RM1.50
2 slices of bread = RM40

Total=RM3.90

Pre-Lunch

Tuna = RM3.20

Total=RM7.10

Lunch

Mixed rice with plenty of meat = RM3.50-RM5. Let’s just take RM3.50 as an average

Total= RM10.60

Teatime

More mixed rice = RM3.50

Total = RM14.10

Post Workout

Lotsa meat = RM5

Total = RM19.10

 Supper

Milk=RM1.50 + a lil tuna

Total= RM20.60

And that’s nearly RM400 for a months’ intake of food. I don’t take protein and creatine for the time being but
I hopefully will in the near future. It’s RM377 for a bottle of 4lbs of creatine and RM334 for 10 lbs of whey
protein.

NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, that’s bloody expensive. They can last for 2 months, but spending RM800
for supplements every two months? Since when was I printing cash? Now I wish my dad works in OZ or US
where protein can be obtained for prices of like….USD39 for good quality stuff.

Exorbitant costs are one of the reasons bodybuilding sucks. For me, I’ve a gym in my campus, which is great because it provides the 3 most important things that I need. Space, olympic barbells, sufficent weights. What about those who are confined to the pathetic “Fitness” gyms in their apartments? They’ll have to buy themselves memberships to some glitsy gym which adds the costs. Not happy.

Alright, then we move on to the pain involved in bodybuilding and powerlifting or strength training.

The three core excercises, deadlift, squats and benchpresses, exhibit TREMENDOUS stress to the body. Lifting over 500lbs on your back isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Then some may develop problematic joints due to the lack of proper nutrition as they grow older. It’s important to have enough vitamins and supplements such as omega-3 oil and fish oil and stuff like that to keep them joints lubricated and smooth.

There’s also the occasional hit to the ego when we fail a lift. Huffing and puffing at 300lbs to squats, phsyching yourself up and then failing the lift. That’s bloody embarrasing. I’ve repeatedly failed at 215lbs for the benchpresses till it becomes numb though. It however, is NEVER less frustrating.

Then the frustration when you find that your physique isn’t changing or improving at all. You start wondering what the fvck went wrong. Then you’ll have to research and learn how to redo the routine to boost better yourself. All these questions, can sometimes cause a bodybuilder to just give up half-a-way and grow lazy. And considering they’ve already cultivated such eating habits, chances are they’ll continue eating as a lifter despite stopping the excercises. This, causes them to become fat.

I also get bloody jealous and pissed when I see some of my friends eating away to whatever fattening and
carbohydrated laced foods in the middle of the night, not caring at all. DO you have any idea how frustrating it can be when you’re forced to control yourselves not to jump onto the bandwagon and order a triple patty Ramly burger?!!!!!!!! Why did I choose this route?

However, I will NEVER stop bodybuilding. I may have to quit temporarily, but never permanently. It’s a sport that I’ve dedicated nearly 1 year into, and has given me tremendous boost in physical strength and stamina. Despite not having much results in the external
physique, it’s good to know that I can lift a 100 kilo man. Not very much useful in most cases, but I’m sure it’ll prove handy when I need to potty train my rotteweiler or 86 year old father in law.

CooL? Now if only steroids were cheap here.

Probabbly the most overused word

Filed under: Uncategorized — kirksman @ 1:12 pm

“Stress” is probabbly going to be the most overused word by MMU students in the next few weeks. On the question of whether or not this word has been abused by the majority of MMU students, I’d say, nope……..it is REALLY going to be stressful for us. It’s the sixth week of MMU academic
semester and we’re expected to submit our assignments at around this time, we’re also expected to study for our examinations which is slamming us in the face in 3 weeks and also, we’re going to have to hold food sale for our ”Cyberprenurship”
assignment, which I must say is a pretty damnned interesting subject. However, it’s been slapped into the grounds of boredom thanks to a ridiculiously intelligent lecturer whose delivery skills have been sucked up by his efforts to gain his 3 Masters degree and one PHD.

Now MMU management have good intentions of giving us the best lecturers they can find, but I’m left with
one simple question;

“Is it better to get a lecturer who’s well versed and able to communicate and deliver with an excellent level of precision, but only holds one very much related degree to the field of which they’re teaching, or is it better to get a certificate mad lecturer (College overachiever) that struggles to even explain the date of which our food sale?

I rest my case.
We have another pretty damnned interesting lecturer who claims that if we are mindful, we can understand Advanced Calculus and Level 5 Maths and the system of Malaysian economic structure with absolubte ease.

Right……….. And I’m Jennifer Aniston’s number one sexual fantasy and we have cum fiesta’s every weekend

————————————

On the subject of weekend, my wonderful friends and I have been hanging out almost every damnned week and I’ve been going out, well….every damnned week. I’ll list those wonderful people just so you guys know what excellent friends I have. AND if I don’t list your name, it’s because you don’t hang out with me every week but I would dearly love to have you hanging out with us as well;

The hangout every week and never study list:

……on second thoughts, I won’t list it down .
Hey all me frens are pretty damnned important to me, and I ain’t taking numbers on them. Especially the last fellow. Who’s the last one? Figure out urself :P :P Speak not shall I.

One of the most memorable days was when we went to Papa Joe, in portugese settlement… after some dispute settlement…Hey it kinda rhymes…

We shall see Jon the drunk in pictorial action.


Oh mulutku berbuih!! Comelnya aku. Wek wek wek!


Apa nie, take photo with papa joe. Papa joe pulak sampat sekali memakai topi yang kelihatan sangat serius.

Nak tengok magik? Nah! INilah burung aku!


Wtf……dinojon……

Yes dad, I drink. Wooh…..no surprises there.

We had a pretty fun time there. Jon tried to steal beer because it was draft beer and when papa joe went out, he scramed for the beer. However, draft beer requires you to let it flow out a little bit and then only snap the beer. HE however, only took the foam……..intelligence sure wasn’t one of the criteria of being a pilot.

Oh and kenny boy. He’s back to his old self, took him nearly 6 years to find it back though.
Here we had a competition called “Caucimalak Master 2006″
Here’s “Caucimalak”

That’s the victim, it shall be eaten in this game. OR is it REALLY the victim? IT’s basically a RM1.60 taiwanese sausage sold in Newton, Ujong Pasir. I sungguh sedap, sehingga setiap kali kawan kawan kami ke MElaka, kami membawa mereka ke sana.

Okay, “Caucimalak Master 2006″ is basically, eating the sausage and in 7 minutes they have to figure out ways to quench their thirst and maddening heat induced from the sausage. They can smoke, drink, die, climb, strip, dance…anything whatsoever to make themselves feel better but after 7 minutes, they can not do anything anymore. Whoever gives up and takes a sip of water or anything first, loses.


Here’s mister ken before caucimalak.


here’s ken after caucimalak….

kinda tells you what it’s capable of doing doesn’t it? Jon’s got kenny’s “output” pictures. Ish…..sungguh tak kren lah! Btw, kren means “Cool” so we shall all say Kren and be Kren. It’s iNdoneSian. So please call your maid, “Kren” and she’ll immediatelly love you. Maids need to be appreciated too you know?

“I see you windin and grinding up on the floorrr~”

Anyway YY’s got like the coolest bunch of family members in the world.

MY car needs a tune!

Filed under: Uncategorized — kirksman @ 2:41 pm

Lotsa in and outs recently. Bleah……so many stuffs goin on.

Anyway, I recently popped for a MYVI drivers club gathering in PD. It was, pretty interesting. It gave me renewed love for my MYVI. I hated the MYVI because of several reasons;

1. Terrible handling. I couldn’t corner at 90KM/h. I mean no sane guy would do that anyway, but whoever said I was sane? Cornering at 40Km/h would tilt the car into madness.

2. Bad fuel consumption. But now I find it’s my right foot to blame. C’mon, double-declutching, heel-toe practice, tire burns, playing the 4-5K RPM revs, 160KM/h at 4th gear, 0-100Km/h games. I hardly went past 300KM/h on a full tank in a 1.3L engine. Are you crazy? Now with a controlled right foot, I managed 480KM/h on a 40L tank.

3. Terrible cabin noise. I found out the problem with that, the stupid back cover that kept bouncing up and down. Got that fixed. Now getting my squeaky seat fixed by the Perodua guys. They really suck though the service.

4. Stinky smell. I still haven’t actually rectified this, but it’s getting better now.

A variety of other problems, you’ll have to facing with the MYVI include a stupid hot backseat because there’s no exhaust cover, terrible wind noise at above 140KM/h (Oh shut up about speeding already, it’s a highway), plastickey looking interior, easy to dirty seat.

So to rectify this problem, money has to be spent. I’m going to list down how to fix it;

Handling.

1. Zenden strut bars and anti roll bars=RM140+RM300
2. Bridgestone Potenza 215/40 tires and replica 16″ Rays TE-37 rims =RM2000+ (or this?)
3. Tanabe Sustec Pro adjustable suspensions= RM3300
With Malaysia’s crappy roads (they’d rather build sport stations in UK and revolvin towers than clear the roads) an original Japanese rim, is just asking for a dented rim.
4. New set of disc brakes, probabbly something from a Sylvia S15. =D Stopping joy!

Performance.

1. A Votech voltage stabilizer and grounding kit. RM500. Damnned compressor fucks my revs the moment it kicks
in
2. A microcompressor. RM400. It’s kinda like a mini turbocharger that keeps sucking air.
3. Lightened crank pulley. RM300. Better torque boy!
4. 4-2-1 extractor and exhaust RM1000
5. Denso Iridium spark plugs. RM200
6. Open pod air filter and a CAI. Somewhere around RM600 I think.
7.A turbocharger. No haha, that’d be RM20000 4 a K3VET and a new Haltech ECU. Pokai’ness. Spend that much on a MYVI better just buy a Honda Jazz. The power of dreams weiH!

Looks and comfort.

1. A diffuser. RM100
2. Remove MYVI emblem and respray entire bonnet to black. RM400
3. Fix a TRD spoiler. RM250
4. Cut off front bonnet covers and cover with wire mesh. RM80
5. Side skirts. RM100
6. Heat and sound absorbing sponges. RM300 (fuck sial, sponge also so ex?!)
7. Soundproofing. RM1000+ i think, I can’t remember. SO many numbers.
8. Bucket seats for the driver alone! RM500
9. Sports steering wheel. RM250So in total, this is waht it means. If you’ve got the money, buy a BMW and never have to mod….well much…..well, not really……but, ah well bmW! The way to go.

Semua modded. SIal jer bawak stock car.
