After an operation at the abdomen to remove my appendix and a foot of my small intestines in 1999, not having food for a week set me back to bones. After recovery, my once rigorous and active lifestyle turned to indoor activities due to a problem i contracted (adhesion colic) from the operation. This let me at 174cm or 5'9, to put on tonnes of weight and hitting the scales at 76kg at the start of 2002.

At the end of 2002, i start about a plan to lose weight (drastic, not recommended and starvation) till i was at my lowest of 56kg. And improving my weight to 60kg, i maintained it till 2006.

In April 2006, my friend pulled me along to the gym, where i started simple circuit training to build up some momentum. Currently, into my 7th month of training, i have built up to 66.5kg with much visual improvements from my once skinny frame.

Bodybuilding/Working out gives me the adrenaline, not to forget time out from my otherwise stressful or busy lifestyle. Keeping fit and building muscle brings more balance to my life. It keeps me organised and it's all about setting goals and achieving it.
