The Toblater Story

A journal of 6 food loving, sweet-toothed lasses persevering the never ending quandary against the utterly fattening Malaysian delicacies. Under the guidance of 2 trainers with opposing modus operandi, these lasses contend for “The Biggest Looser” title over the next 6 months. Follow their compelling tales of forced diets, loathed workouts, amusing treacheries, inspirational insights, infectious gossips and all things related/unrelated to this trivial tussle of feminine, yet feisty vixens

Hostage at The Table

Senah and I went for a short talk by Prof. George Kohlrieser yesterday. I was reluctant at first, because I am not a fan of human behavioral books i.e self-help, self-development, etc. Nevertheless, I went after receiving an email from my boss asking everyone in my department to go. I went with an open mind - I have tried so hard to declutter my mind for the past weeks mainly because I was so inundated with work and...

The birth of Toblater

HAHHAHAHAHHAAHA. I laughed THAT hard when I saw the class picture. 5 out of 8 Toblaters were together in the first form (sans Temah, Rokiah & Enon). Well, 6 including Mess, of course. Try and spot us! We have Odah & Esah to thank - for being bright/creative/mischievous 13 year old, who coined up TOBLATER. Maybe if they are up for it, they'll blog about how it came about - the history behind 'TOBLATER'....

Gotta get my nose back on the grindstone!!! And keep it there! Gotta!!!

O-dah's very first entry. Oh yes it is! Toblaters hv been pestering me to start writing, so here I am. (Just read Rokiah's entry and suddenly I feel the urge to write a little. She always gets my ass moving that girl) Note: She rang me just now. Definitely wanna nag me about yesterday la tu (Will call u back Rock, I'm using my colleague's PC, she'll be back for it very soon) Aha, my open house yesterday was ok.

Post Session 3 - Update 1

So we had our 3rd weigh-in session at Odah's house just now. This time around, as the keeper of Miss J(udge) the weighing scale, I happily (Team 1 reads : painfully) announce that Team 2 is the winner for Session 3 - what more with only 2 determined girls left but with the same one and only super kiasu instructor! Congratulations girls! Keep it up and we shall see which Team will be the winner next month as it is now 1 : 1 to date. However, as the Instructor for Team 1, let me clear the air that we have never pandang rendah...

No More Superhuman Senses

You see, those who knew me would know how bad my sense of smell is. I would sneeze so very often, and my bestfriend would be a box of Kleenex. Since its costly to keep up, my nose has been trained well to accommodate toilet rolls and even the hard tissues that the Office provide in the pantry..Therefore, it was a strange almost alien-like feeling when I suddenly, during the past 2 months was able to smell MORE things than what I normally would. The masam-ness of Vill@ge P@rk's waiter's shirt and it's stinky kain lap meja was...

Tenggol Illustrated: The FINAL part

*Again, photos are courtesy of enon, temah, ayud, art, farah & azwar*Monday, October 12th 2009Woke up to the soothing morning breeze and chirping sounds of the birds (And soooo relieved it wasn't the squeaky sounds of Mr Rat!). Our final dive of the trip, was to go where the James Bond movie Moon Raker was shot (or so I was told). I'm obviously not a J. Bond buff, so I couldn't tell fact from fiction. For more info...
