Fat cells

All these years, my perspective about fall cells have been all wrong...... Not totally, but sufficiently. Basically, based on my old knowledge, an average person will have approximately 30-75 billion fat cells dependent on how obese he/she is and not forgetting gene factor. The storage of fat in our body is promoted by an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL). The activity of this enzyme is directly proportionate to the number of fat cells, thus a person with more fat cells stores fat more readily. For fat storage to happen, the energy intake must be greater than the energy expended, in terms of calories. Once there is an excess, the fat cells increase in volume, thus increasing the bodyfat percentage, and if lowered, it simply means the volume decreases.

What i am wrong over these years is that the number of fat cells does increases, at cellular level, a process called fat cell hyperplasia. Hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of the fat cells. Hyperplasia happens when obesity sets into play. The cruel news to these people is that the number of fat cells increases, it does not decrease. Losing of weight will not lead to losing of fat cells but only contribute to the shrinking. That is the main reason why obesity cannot be cured, but only controlled. This explains why it is easier to gain weight if you have been obese once.

There is alot of information below, for those interested to bulk up, healthily.

Spam Mails

Getting really irritated by those annoying mails that requires user to dissipate out to x number of email accounts!!! Be it server deleting of email acct, being unlucky or miss being lucky, save the whales, help the baby/child, microsoft giving out money...... god damn it, just think with your puny brain will ya? How naive can anyone be but to believe in this sxxx?!! The power of money? Its just a market gimmick for christ sake! To be honest, i deleted alot of vulgarities typed in this post from my fuming brain right now....

Hmmm i am sort of a mix of free thinker and atheism here, but i cant think of any better phrase to replace "christ sake". I am a person who feels very very very offended when people preaches to me about their religion... No offence to everyone out there with your own believe/s, this is mine.

On a lighter side, just caught "Rob-B-Hood" with my mum at Prince this evening. Starring Jackie Chan, its really a nice movie to watch with your family, with the comedy factor at its highest! Bought a sandwich from subway for my mum, which she said its really delicious even though she didn't even know what is 'subway'. hhahaa guess i need to go out with her more!

Favicon

Wonder what is a favicon? Its the mini logo just beside any sites, like for yahoo, its the big Y! etc. Just learnt about it not long ago, so managed to create one for my blog here with photoshop, yep its the black and white "e,j" on top. It may or may not work in IE, but definitely works with Firefox! Another reason to use firefox right?

Anyway, manage to find a parttime job in one of my friend's uncle company, though the salary and such have not been cfm, its the working experience that really matters right now.

A very nice(?) picture of my 3 buggers brothers outside paragon =) A picture says a thousand words, juz becos i cant "-_-


Bought this Solvil Titus watch for my mum's birthday. It aint cheap, but it is worth every penny just to see the smile on her face... Happy Birthday mum!

I think Photoshop is a really really cool appz, though the learning curve can be kinda steep, but with enough efforts, a simple picture can be edited to become very outstanding.

Managed to talk to TOMtanzy on msn, glad to hear from him he just commissioned this month. Still kinda unbelieveable that he is an officer nw =P Hahah dun get me wrong, its only because he was a PES C? clerk previously.

The thought of participating a triathlon crossed my mind recently, since currently i am really free to work on my fitness and bod to aim for my packs =) Still a long way, but i believe can achieve anything other people had achieved, thus the triathlon. Its gonna be a treacherous journey, with my knee problems and simply not an endurance body...... It can be, and will be, my achievement.

Spending spending spending

Its been a spending month for me this september...... Gd? Maybe. Bad? Absolutely! But as the saying goes; "Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give." You never know when your life will end anyway...


My new soccer boots; Adidas Predator Absolion. Its the first boots which i forked out more than 100 bucks on it, din really wanted to, was actually looking at a budget of below 80...... But the colour! Damn i just can't resist the black, red and white combination!


My new evening red K610i, a switch from nokia since after secondary school i think, before which i was using T10, i think =P Traded in my n-gage, and with 2 yrs plan this phone only cost me 78 bucks. Definitely my recommendation if you want just a simple good looking phone with a 2 megapixels camera.

Bought a few comp accessories, going for lasik pretty soon, YES no more specs! But gonna cost me around 2-3.5k...... Guess its worth it. Checking out Optimax, across our state to JB, and yes i did my research and homework. Its cheaper there, by alot, reviews from those who went there were great, good customer service as of now. Those hospitals and specialist centers here whom i emailed them weeks ago, till now there is absolutely no news from them...... pui~ Optimax was great in replying to my queries, and fixing an appt date for me also. Quick, simple, easy and efficient. That's what i am looking for.

Looking forward to next wk! Time to get down and drank again!
