MIRI DANCE CARNIVAL : reviews and vids

Ok, I dunno what to blog today. But, I’ve remembered that I haven’t blog about my Miri Dance Carnival 2008.

It all started when we qualified and won third at the Preliminary Round at Monster’s Tongue , Kuching.

So, all of us went for the grand finale at Miri.

We just got the award for Best Teamwork. Guess that’s ok than nothing rite? At least we didn’t went back empty handed.

 

As for my solo compy, I was the 11th and the last competitor to perform. Well, didn’t won anything.. but being the only female to qualified for the finals and to got the opportunity to compete with other male in a quite ‘Big’ event, I might say that I accomplished something that is meaningful to me.

Gained experienced and it makes me wanna compete more! Heheh

Well, the thing is that it was a last minute entry and I didn’t even practiced my routine or I just dunt know what to do until I’ve ran out of ideas and suddenly, I started doin pop and locks and other liquid stuff for the interloop ( which was damn long..)

Hey, all’s well, ends well?

I took the first early morning bus the next day due to the exams n test that is waiting for me to be seated when I get back to Kuching.

Here’s the compy groupie vid and my solo vid.

SPS 211 : Exercise Physiology Test 2

Arghh.. well, this test is suppose to be last Monday. But the lecturer postponed it till today.. Its 0725am now n i still got 2 more hours to do a quick and last minute revision.

Hmm.. well, i hope i passed this test. I dunt want it to be 'only pass', at least a B+ or A- is really needed in order for me to keep up my CGPA... hmm. guess its struggle time. lolz..

Tonite is the 'Malam Pensyarah Bersama Pelajar Menjelang Peperiksaan Akhir'. Well, its actually like a Annual Farewell dinner for our outgoing seniors but to make it sounds like a suitable formal function, it turn out like the above.. ~duh

Ok, if its formal, why do u need a theme for it? haha.. and the theme for tonite is 'Costume' ahaks..... some might even thought of it as a cosplay. lolz.. for not having any costume to wear, i'll just goin to wear my cheogsam.. haha.. dress like an innocent chinese lady with a rihanna hairstyle.. LOLz... ahaksss

Hmm.. i've been reading Aliciaks' blog and she's been talking bout loosening some weights.. Hmm.. seems like people around me keeps on talking about it.. So, heres my part of the story.. ngehehehe... Well, last semester i really gained a lot of weight due to our intro and final camp. Well, usually i just ate once a day and hav a few other courses later, but during camping, due to the exhausting atmosphere and scheduled time to eat, i was eating 3 to 4 times daily during the camp. just imagine, the first time i set foot in Sarawak, i only weight 55kg and now gained to 63kg. But, i'm glad that all of those shufflin' paid off, coz i lost 2kg from doin those harstyle moves.. ngeheheheh... well, at least i lost some weight.. heheh..

ahakss.. here is what i've studied last semester in Nutrition class...

try to calculate ur Body Mass Index (BMI) and try to see, whether ur in a good shape, overweight, or in need of gaining weight.

Best of Luck!

What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).1, 2 BMI can be considered an alternative for direct measures of body fat. Additionally, BMI is an inexpensive and easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

How is BMI calculated and interpreted?

Calculation of BMI
BMI is calculated the same way for both adults and children. The calculation is based on the following formulas:

Measurement Units Formula and Calculation
Kilograms and meters (or centimeters) Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2

With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, divide height in centimeters by 100 to obtain height in meters.

Example: Weight = 68 kg, Height = 165 cm (1.65 m)
Calculation: 68 ÷ (1.65)2 = 24.98

Pounds and inches Formula: weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703

Calculate BMI by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a conversion factor of 703.

Example: Weight = 150 lbs, Height = 5’5” (65")
Calculation: [150 ÷ (65)2] x 703 = 24.96

BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 – 24.9 Normal
25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and Above Obese

Subject Name : xaRaix

Age : 20 ( n still young.. ngehehe )

BMI = Weight / Height x Height

= 61kg / 166cm x 166cm

= 22.13 ( yay! i'm normal! lolz )
