Oat is by far the Numero Uno item for most beginner dieters. Or veteran dieters? What is oatmeal? How is it eaten? How nutritious is eat? Is it for Real or just another promotion gimmick (lower cholesterol, anyone?) by commercial food specialists?
I decided to seriously look into these questions. Here are the answers I got.
Something Good
Ah a New Year... I know something good is wating for me round the corner, just hoping the corner shows up faster!
Back to the Gym
Today was my first outing to the gym after the holidays. Didnt do much. Just 40 mins on the treadmill. Felt good to be running after soooo long. DId a 20 mins run at 7-1/2 km/hr...

Condo Gym or Real Gym
Do I enroll in a proper gym? Are aerobics workouts essential for overall body ftness? How important is muscle training? Sigh...My condo gym has just treadmills and the cycle. I guess its just not enough for overall fitness.
5 Things to Do and Visit in Phuket
These 5 places to visit in Phuket are definitely not the only places/things to see in Phuket. They just make up some of what we managed in out short and sweet trip to Phuket - made even sweeter by our tour guide Ellie.
Fantasea, Phuket - This is a MUST MUST watch show - showing the history of Thailan with some incredible dramatics, theatre, amazing acrobatics, magic, etc. Watch out for the moment when all the livestock run across the stage! The fairground (the setting for the show) and its atmosphere make it really a 2-in-1 outing.
Phi Phi Islands - The coves, the emerald water, the snorkeling experience - wow. Includes the pristine beaches including the famous Maya Beach where the Leonardo di Caprio starrer, The Beach, was shot. Our trip included an additional attraction(???) of a hair raising speed boat ride! The trip is definitely not to be missed even if you can do without the speed boat ride...
Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island - James Bond island was made famous in the movie "The Man With The Golden Gun". The famous table top island forms a must backdrop for "I visted Phuket" snaps. The trip to James Bond Island is through the Phang Nga Bay. There was a stop to explore the rock formations and the mangrove islands by a canoe (thankfully steered by local experts). The stop at a floating Moslem fishing village for lunch completed the amazing day.
Simon Cabaret - If you have been to Thailand and not taken in a Lady boy show - you really have missed one amazing event in life. The Simon Cabaret is a classy muical extravaganza with a difference. the performers are all transvestites. Though looking at the exquisite ladies performing - one is hard pressed to believe it.
Phuket Island Tour and Patong Beach - many people dont prefer the Patong beach because of the crowd. Thats the many reason - the bustling beach is so attractive. A great place to just relax with a massage as one takes in the sights, sounds and smell of Phuket.
Oh there are a great many other places to visit in Phuket. But I did say i will talk about just 5 of them!
