Tips On How NOT To Gain Weight

“Jaz! You (used to) eat a lot!
How do you maintain your slim figure?”

— It’s the question that people kept asking whenever I’m chowing down on junk/ fast food.

Firstly, I don’t have a slim figure.
The only reason it looked slim was because I’m not wearing any belly-revealing tee.

Secondly,
it’s just a result of the not-so-healthy lifestyle I’m having.

Which I’m about to share with you in this post.

NOTE:
Please DO NOT treat this as a biblical guideline.
This is just another random list that my brain worked out on.

• Unconsciously being born in an underweight family.

I’m in a family which finds it easier to lose weight,
than it is to gain weight.

The family enjoys food, and enjoys eating even more.
However, by the force of nature,
we can only gain about 2kg per year if we’re lucky.

To actually be born in a family as such,
it would require more luck than hardwork.

• Unconsciously practice carbo diet.

Consume food that ONLY provides carbohydrates.
This means that you’re cutting down on fats.

You should NOT be a big fan of lauk, ikan, daging, telur, & ayam,
and mainly eat ONLY rice with soup.

• Unconsciously cut down on your daily meals.

Now, there are many ways to approach this.

My way?
I became an internet-addict and got obsessed with JE boys.
This have caused me to focus solely on these 2 subjects,
that I keep forgetting to eat.

• Unconsciously eat everything until you get bored of EVERYTHING!

I used to eat a lot.
I eventually got sick of eating the same food over and over again.

And also, eventually, I loathe eating.

Bottom line,
after seeing how bad my eating habits are,
and knowing that I’ve dropped 4 kg from last year,
I’ve made it a point to fix them up!

Go ahead and follow the tips if you want to.
But I must warn you that you’ll suffer from the nagging of an oh-so-caring sister
and the pains of gastric from your stomach.

[PICSPAMS] JAG Shoot Day 1-2

It was shot on the 15th-16th January 2008 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
at Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Bukit Cahaya (Shah Alam).

Don’t expect to see much of my face in here.
I’m the one who’s snapping the photos and
I have long grown out from the days of ‘camwhoring’ by myself.

This will be a very brief spamming for fun.
I’ll later give out the link to the COMPLETE set of photos for those days.

Cikgu Jazreen

Before I go on, let me entertain myself with this illustration of the ‘future me’,
in regards to the above title.

I think I’m going through this phase called ‘lonely’.

I’m feeling so cooped up at home.
I need to go out regularly and meet new people.
Or maybe, just see another light of the old friends I have.

Which is practical for me to have the idea of getting a job crawling in my head all the time.
I would most probably step down after a week of work because I get bored of it.

Yesterday, I went back to my school, SBS.
It was all because my friend have forced me to accompany her.
She was supposedly missing the school atmosphere like crazy.

The school is very different now. They’re having a hard time struggling through just one more day at school.

Reasons for this is that a lot of the teachers are transferred to other schools.
Most of them are favorite teachers of ours.

Why are all these happening now?
Hohoho.
They said that it was because of the ‘penderhakaan’ towards *eheMeheM*.
With that, SBS’s warga-warga Hang Jebat is no more to be seen.

No la.
There’s a more logical explanation to it.

After hanging out in the teacher’s office,
I got to know that the school is in need for at least 7 more teachers.

Applications are open.
Even for a minor student like me!
(An ex-classmate actually applied for it.)

Audition: Mystery 6

A while back, I was reminiscing back on the first audition I’ve went to.
Of course, the first audition was for SBS’s drama team.
But then I remembered about the first ever audition I went for a tv series.

Hmmm… That was way back during the middle of Form 4 (16, 2006).
It was certainly a show with a different twist than the normal local shows around.
I wonder what happened to that show…

So this evening, I googled for Razif Hashim’s name.

I stumbled into an article of him and took the initiative to search more on him.
Yeah, I’ll admit that I had a slight crush on him back from his early days as Haikal in Gol & Gincu
– That badass guy!

I googled around for him and… I found an article from Youth2 on a tv show, Mystery 6 (M6).

I read the first 2 lines, and find myself being pretty familiar with that plot.
Then I saw the words “Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five” and “Alfred Hitchcock’s”.

Woah! Those were the EXACT words that came out from that guy at my first audition!

I scanned through the article and confirmed that it was indeed the show that I have auditioned for!

“I Told You So That You’re Gonna Laugh!”

I’ve watched one episode of Snips before.
I watched it alone and stared at it in embarrassment.

I looked bad. Real bad.

Jay (Snip’s make up artist) applied too much make up on me.

When filming, I was aware that the make up was too thick, and my hair was done in such a way that I look hilariously bad.
The grown ups all said that I looked okay (probably not to make me flip out)
and that it’s the usual basis of ’screen’ make up.

So I went on with it and just cooperate anyway.
Hoping that maybe those thick cosmetics on my face would look better on camera.

To my disappointment, I still look awkward with those make up.

If you’ve met me, then you’ll know that I can look about 4 years younger.
When I was filming this, I was 16.
Minus it by 4: 12 years old.

Imagine that!

A primary kid, wearing heavy make up!
Those obvious red-pinkish blusher made me look even more ridiculous.

The Kementerian watched it and they praised me,

“Wah, very good ah. Primary school kid also can already act!”

Aoskdpkdfeijgfep?!?!
The fact that they thought I was 12, I don’t mind.
But I’m just grossed out by the equation of THICK make up and a PRIMARY KID!

After the end of JAG’s fourth rehearsals,
it just left me, Gus, and Gerard.

Then Gerard invited us to watch 2 episodes of Snips.
I dreaded for that since someone else (Gus) is going to watch me on tv.

While the credits were rolling, I turned to Gerard,

JAEZ: Gerard, don’t you think I look bad in this episode?
GERARD: Huh? No! You look okay. You’re just insecure.
JAEZ: No, Gerard. I look bad. Admit it.
GERARD: No, you look okay.

Then BAM!

The first thing that came on screen was my face.

Then throw in together the thick make ups
and a headband that pulled my hair all the way through the front of my roots,
Revealing my gigantic wide forehead!

LAUGHTERS ROARED IN THE ROOM!!!

Of course I was expecting Gus to laugh,
but man, even Gerard exploded at that point!

So much for, “No, Jazreen. You look OKAY!”

Then 20 minutes after that, I nudged Gus,
“Are YOU laughing…”

Gus, covering up his mouth, muffling and CHOKING BACK his laughter,
“NO! I’M NOT LAUGHING! Kekekekeke!”

And Gerard laughed. Again.
Gus, on the other hand, NEVER stopped laughing as we watched through the 2 episodes.

This just encourage me not to tell my friends and families when the show is scheduled to air on tv.

 

Hah, Gerard! I told you that you’re going to laugh at me!
