i HATE calculating BMI..!

i HATE calculating BMI..!

Ive always been categorised as 'overweight' or sometimes 'obese' (especially now when i'm pregnant). I don't think I look obese, but I AM overweight..!? Can you imagine a person called obese? They usually have a huge 'pile' of fat on their stomach, buttocks, arms and thighs. But as for me? I do have a motorcycle sized of 'spare tyre' on my stomach, not even bigger than that! And fats under my arms are not even as big as my calves! Then how do you categorize me as obese??? You can't even count my fat using BMI! Arghh! Stu*^& BMI..!

They (nurses) even made sure to put this GREEN sticker on my pregnancy card as reminder of my weight..!
But it puzzled people when I mention my real weight because it doesn't seem to fit my appearance that well.. I always get that shocked look among nurses especially if they are using that 'me-vs-stone' weight-scales.. They usually starts the estimation way 20kg lighter than my real weight!!! So how do you explain me being considered as obese?! The so called BMI is NOT that RELIABLE at all! Whoever introduced that should do a new research!

I always know something about my built. I am always quite muscular for a woman.. I used to carry all 2-3 of my bags filled with clothes and books weighing 10-15kg each walking almost 50-100m on my own when I was in university.. And I dont mind moving my furniture around the house on my own even if I need to lean against them to push them around..(Though now I am NOT ALLOWED to even move a coffee table on my own)

So everytime I count my BMI, it gives me some real BIGGGG HEADACHE! IT IS NOT THAT ACCURATE AT ALL! argghh!

once again, i HATE calculating BMI..!

Oktober 2008: The Orient Star Resort, Lumut, Perak

By
Gambar-gambar ni semua dah lama disimpan dalam laptop. Kalaulah gambar-gambar ni macam makanan, dah tumbuh kulat ngan cendawan lama dah! Nak ambik la kesempatan, disebabkan TV kat rumah pun dah rosak dekat seminggu.. Koleksi CD/DVD kat rumah pun dah abis aku tengok... (termasuklah Changeling, aku suka la panggil Changelina Jolie... yang dah lebih 4 bulan dalam simpanan tapi tak pernah sekali tengok.. huhu). Jadi blog ni umpama terapi untuk aku memandangkan hidup aku memang selalunya depan TV. kan.. (Mangsa penjajahan teknologi). This hotel isnt far away from the town. It's on the way to the TLDM Lumut camp. Ikut hala TLDM, bila lepas roundabout, baru nak naik sikit je kat bukit tu jumpa la hotel ni belah kanan.. From Drop Box Was there, at Orient Star Resort October 2008 to attend a meeting. As for the room rates, I'm not sure since everything was paid by the BIG "G" BOSS. View from the room was just nice (compared to my stay at Terengganu recently), but i...

Brunei vs Malaysia

By
Rakan-rakan terdekat ramai yang tahu, aku sekarang sedang bekerja di Brunei Darussalam dibawah perjanjian di antara dua kerajaan iaitu Malaysia dan Brunei dengan mengguna pakai terma 'locum tenens'. Walaupun selama 6 bulan sahaja, apa yang pasti aku akan kembali ke tempat kerja asal dengan sedikit perubahan pada sikap, keperibadian dan gaya pemikiran. Soalan yang sering diajukan pada 1-3 bulan yang pertama ialah, "Seronok tak kerja di Brunei?". Rasanya agak sukar hendak menjawab soalan tersebut secara menyeluruh. Ada pelbagai aspek yang perlu difikirkan. Sudah tentulah, kalau hujan emas di negeri orang hujan batu di negeri sendiri tetap lebih baik negeri sendiri. Sungguhpun politik nampak semakin kucar-kacir dengan keadaan harga barang runcit yang semakin naik dan ditambah cantik pula dengan jerebu yang sedang melanda, tetap aku katakan negara sendiri lebih baik dari negara orang. 1. Kos hidup. Kos hidup disini kalau dibandingkan dengan gaji yang dibaya...
