Welcome To Malaysia Again

Had a filling lunch today but not too much or too much fat in it. Cause I wanted to push myself again tonight for some extra classes. Well it's the same actually as my normal routine but just that I am doing RPM again tonight after Body Pump class. As I mentioned yesterday, I am going over The Curve tonight for some (superstar??) classes. First class was Body Pump by our own TL together with Frank (M'sia) and Andrew (Singapore). Someone was really upset tonight that it's not Andrew from Hong Kong. LOL!!! Damn the tracks selection by Frank is so old (well maybe cause of his age. haha!!!). Squat track was so tough though, I think there are at least 12 sets of 4 bottom halves with 3 each time. Never did this track before so a bit lost. While doing the cool down, realized that it's already 7.30 and quickly ran down to RPM studio.

Luckily Wanie and QQ registered for me. Well it's not a full class but still, thanks babe. So it was four us and I think another 8 more members in the class for the whole session. Andrew came down and did for a while. The class was conducted by Don (Thai) & Milin (India). They are still doing some new releases as India had just launch RPM not too long ago and the club is less than 2 years old (I heard). After the class we went up for my third class. Surprisingly it's not full also. Well look at the bright side, for a non existence class which is created at a last minute, it's considered good to have more than 20 members in it. There were Janis, Don, Kwan (Thai), Alvin & another women from India (which I forgot her name). Since India haven't officially launch Body Combat 40, so she's not really familiar with the track. We did some old tracks like Hardcore Paradise tonight. Sweet~!!!

PS: Total calories burned tonight is 1800kcal. Hmm ... not bad. And again, Body Combat burned the most calories. Weird~!

1900

As usual my routine for the evening would be doing classes at The Curve. Walked in and saw Don & Kwan. Then Riyo informed us that they are here together with some other instructors from other countries for some quarterly meeting or some sort. So they will be doing some team teaching classes at The Curve tomorrow. Saw the time table for tomorrow classes at The Curve. Some superstars (some would say) line up for classes like Body Vive (Jac, Tommy & Teoh), Body Pump (Frank & Andrew), Body Jam (Leo V & George), Body Combat (Don, Kwan & Janis) and RPM (Don & Milin). So most probably I will be here tomorrow again for Body Pump continuing with RPM and Body Combat, since Brian and Sue P. wouldn't be teaching at Wisma Consplant tomorrow. I think Body Jam class is gonna be very pack tomorrow.

On with the classes, had my HRM on and was monitoring my Body Step class and I burned close to 500kcal tonight. But RPM was a bit more with close to 600kcal. Surprisingly Body Combat burned the most with a whopping 800kcal. My BPM was off the chart for both Body Step and Body Combat classes with over 100%. Wow~ My heart was beating that fast. RPM was not far behind with 95% max. I think I can burn more during Body Step class if it was a full 1 hour class but still the resistance of the board need to take into consideration during the class. As for RPM, we did Children for Track 6 and it wasn't the peak of my BPM but rather the last track. During Body Combat I can still feel that my metabolism still working and sweats are still pouring out. BPM hit 100% during Track 4 and 5. Legs are a bit shaky tonight after the classes. Gonna rest to recover in time for tomorrow's classes.

PS: Didn't know that you read my blog too. Yes, you who I talk with in the locker tonight. LOL!!

Day Out With Friend & Home Alone

It's nice going out with friend during the weekend once in a while. Since babe need to attend her friend's wedding and she's the bride's maid so we won't be meeting up this weekend. So I called up my usual suspect of friend to have a day off. Started with our usual morning dim sum session but this time around I had suggested to have a try at Jin Xuan. It was a long queue but we only waited for 5 minutes. We started our shopping from Low Yat but didn't found anything interesting to buy. So we head towards Sg. Wang and Lot 10. Managed to get some food for myself as Isetan was having a clearance on their Japanese food. Walked to Pavilion to have some coffee at Austin Chase.

Since Malaysia Sales was going on, there were a lot of people in all the department stores. But didn't found anything to buy or anything to buy YET. Saw some shirts from G2000 but decided to buy it later with babe. Headed back to Sg. Wang and have another long walk before decided to have dinner at Soong Kee. After a delicious and fulfilling dinner we headed to Petaling Street for a walk. There were a lot of stuff to see but I wasn't that excited this time around. Well maybe cause I was here not too long ago with babe.

After a long walk, we decided to called it a day and headed back home. Bath and put on a good movie to watch, Watchmen. It's a 3 hour long movie. Had the BluRay Director's version which I downloaded. Heard a lot of mix review of the movie and decided to watch it and decide on my own. It was a dark story told upon superheroes in a realistic world. It tells the real life of what superheroes faces after they retired and not needed anymore by the society. Action, Sex, Violent and Good Scripts had me stick to the LCD whole night. It's not a movie for everyone but for those who like to stop and think of each scene and what the ending would be. An unexpected ending I would say. Not many movies nowadays that can surprise me anymore and this is one of them.

Happy Birthday Cindy

This year like any other year, we celebrated Cindy's birthday and this time around the venue was Bruno's Restaurant & Bar at Jaya 33. As usual, I arrived the earliest as I live the nearest. Cindy & Aaron came after that and the rest came one by one. Jason was so funny cause he was at Jaya One while we're at Jaya 33. The rest arrived and we started our dinner but sadly it wasn't as good as I remembered it would be but then again, it's the company that matters. We all had a lot of fun mocking each other and making fun of each other. Jason was snapping away pictures of us all with his phone and sending it to FB. My shirt was the talk of the night as it was so cute and all of them wanted to have a picture with me. LOL!!! Nice dinner with good friends. Priceless~!

What's That Button For?

As usual RPM class at Uptown tonight and was able to registered for BQ tonight. It was just QQ and BQ with me tonight. We did some real tough tracks again tonight. Well it's a challenge class and they don't called it Challenge if it's not tough, now won't they?! Was fiddling around with my new gadget before the class. Everything was set and it was time to do the first track when QQ told me to press START on my watch. LOL! Totally forgot that I need to press START. Silly me! At the end of the class, I checked on the watch and I had burned off over 700 kcal. Not bad (I think). Cause I heard that you can burn over 1000 calories is it in RPM? Still have a lot of functions to figure out. QQ showed me her Polar F6 series which is a bit more stylish. And Lillian's F11, well don't even wanna go that far. LOL!!

QQ was supposed to replaced Vincent's class tonight but since there was only one guy in the class so they decided to canceled it. Well BQ was hesitant in the beginning to join but after some brain wash by yours truly, she decided to join but it was too late as QQ had already canceled the class. So we bathed (separately of course) and I decided to go Murni tonight (as Old Town as a bit too boring for me). Had ordered their Roti Special and wasn't quite full yet. So we decided to ordered their Spaghetti Meat Ball. Yes, Murni served that too. Portion was large with 5 freaking BIG meat balls. Taste was alright and portion was very generous. We're all full at the end of the last bit. Gone home a full and happy guy. There goes my 700 over kcal down the drain.

My New Toy - Polar RS 200 HRM

I had been thinking of getting a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) watch recently. Reason was, I wanted to know how much I had accomplish during a class (i.e RPM, Body Step or Body Combat). I had asked QQ on this as she has one herself and she told me to get something good and she mentioned the brand, Polar. Her watch itself cost close to RM500. OMG! It was so expensive. I was thinking of a range between RM200 - RM300+ maybe. So I browsed around the net and found out that Hi-Velocity is the sole distributor for the brand in Malaysia. And their office is just nearby mine. Drop by today and checked out what they have to offer and the consultant had recommended me some choices. I had mentioned that I am an indoor cyclist and he straight away know what to recommend me. I wanted something which could show me my heart rate and total calories burn during my exercise. This is the two main features which I look for.

He had recommended me F4 & F7 from the Fitness & Cross-training series. Both item will dry my wallet up RM369 & RM489 respectively. I wanted something with F7 functionality but with F4 pricing. Then he recommended me another model, RS200 from the Running Multi-sport series. It has the same features as F7 and more. The price tag for this baby is RM569. Oh yeah really nice to hear that, NO! But they were clearing some stock and he gave me a whooping 30% discount on the watch. So it's RM398.80 after less. Everything I needed. But QQ had recommended Pro Bike at Taman Megah, as a lot of instructors bought over there. So I decided to go over and check it out. They are selling at RM599 with additional 20% discount. HUH??? Showed him the price which Hi-Velocity gave me and the boss straight away agreed on the pricing and gave me another additional discount since I am such a good buyer. So at the end I got what I wanted without burning a hole in my wallet. Damn I am so good at negotiating prices.
