ABOUT MY BLOG

My blog talks about all the stuff I’m obsessed with, the first of which is my quest to check out every park, hill and forest reserve within reasonable driving distance in the Klang Valley. While I’m far from being the biggest health nut on the block, I do enjoy the outdoors and running around a bit. I also enjoy making fun of dumb people and trying to figure out why life is the way it is.

In my highly agile mind, these four obsessions are closely linked (What?? You don’t see the link??) … so that’s why my blog’s silent title is In Pursuit of Health, Happiness and Rock-Hard Killer Thighs. It’s self-explanatory, so I shall resist the urge to launch into one of my long-winded monologues. I will, however, let famous (some dead) people say things about it which I think are really funny.

ON HEALTH

• Health is less paperwork and more running barefoot through the grass (Leslie Grimutter)
• Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing (Redd Foxx)
• Red meat is not bad for you. Now blue-green meat, that’s bad for you! (Tommy Smothers)

ON HAPPINESS

• Nobody really cares if you’re miserable, so you might as well be happy (Cynthia Nelms)
• Happiness is good health and a bad memory (Ingrid Bergman)
• If only we’d stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time (Edith Wharton)

ON THIGHS (AND EXERCISE)

• I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing (Marsha Doble)
• Whenever I feel like exercise, I lie down until the feeling passes (Robert M Hutchins)
• I believe that God gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I’ll be damned if I’m going to use up mine running up and down a street (Neil Armstrong)
