Lose Big Programme
This was supposed to be written a week ago. Okay so last week, when I came back from Ipoh on Wednesday (February 24th), I had an invitation to go to this lose big programme designed by Dave Nuku, Biggest Loser Asia’s blue team trainer. I’m a huge Biggest Loser Asia fan (as well as the US version) and also Dave Nuku’s fan. Not because he’s hot (lol) but he’s very caring, gentle and supportive in the show. So of course, when I got an invitation to meet Dave in person, I would not waste it.

It was held at e@Curve (formerly cineleisure) and I arrived at 7 pm and had to wait for roughly 30-40 minutes there until everyone was there. When I arrived there was already a lot of people waiting and those who got the table at the front there will get to mingle with Dave and take pictures. I wanted to do that but he was so busy. After that we were all asked to go into the cinema, where he would give the talk. Oh and I also met this lady who was very talkative, so I wasn’t really alone and looking all dumb. Hehe.

I was surprised that Ally Iskandar was hosting the event. He’s the famous TV3 (local station) host. He’s a funny guy. After a few talks, then Dave gave a really interesting (and he’s hilarious) talk about how to lose weight and get motivated to do so. Then another surprise guest appeared — SYANIE! Okay, she’s this famous Malaysian comedian artist who is morbidly obese. Last year she surprised everyone when she decided to do the gastric bypass surgery. And to date, she has surprisingly lost 60KG! Wow. When she appeared, she looked a lot thinner than healthier than she was before. She’s also joining this programme. Of course, her being an artist, and obviously now ambassador for this programme, she’s getting in for free I assume. Even if she’s not, she could so afford it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t. It cost RM3600+ for this 13 weeks structured programme to lose weight.. well Rm1000 less if you register that night. If I was morbidly obese and didn’t get through the audition for Biggest Loser Asia, then I might consider this but I’m not morbidly obese.. I’m not even obese.. I’m still in the normal range, just out of shape lol.
Though, having a trainer, in this 13 weeks programme along with other fat people with the same motivation is good. I just need upper body strength to tone my arms and chest… I’d need something like this dip station… I need to stop being lazy and go to the gym once my face is healed.

Before my phone’s battery died completely I managed to snap this picture of the 3 of them (Mr Shawn (sp?), Syanie and Dave) having a chat together. I didn’t register for the programme but I did get a (useless) goodie bag by Fitness First. I got a deodorant for MALE. Geez. Deodorant would be useful but it’s for male >.> Either the girl mistakenly gave me the male bag or they only have male deodorant to give away. Oh well. At least I had a delicious mini bruschetta-like snack and 2 bottles of free mineral water lol.
And I got this too : -

A picture with Dave! I look fat. The girl didn’t know how to use my phone camera to take a picture.. this is the 3rd picture and the only clear picture.
Oh and the next day was my birthday! haha. Didn’t have a good birthday but I did get some wishes in facebook. :) Ok, now.. next blog!
