Happy Halloween~!

Finally it's Friday and I can rest a bit from my hustle and tussle from work and life. But nevertheless, schedule was really packed today. 3 appointments after lunch and I need to pick my SIL up at 5.30pm from Axis. Slide in another appointment to change my front tyres in between that. Yes, I had finally decided to change my front tyres. Had some minor drift moment during raining days last few weeks and I thought it's time to change. As I need to have a few out station trip next week onwards. Got some really bargain for both my Micheline.

Send my SIL back to Kinrara and I can still make it for 6.50pm Balance class. Not bad if I do say so myself. As usual, Balance don't really challenge me that much compared to Yoga. Continued with Yoga class which was replaced by Ambika. It was Jean's last class in Consplant as she decided to stop the class. As ALWAYS the GXC from Consplant managed to screwed up the time table again. Atleast I got informed by Jean yesterday that she's not teaching tonight. It was a Classical Asthanga class according to her. But after the warm up, the pace changed really much and we started to do some really challenging posses. Damn, I was sweating like a hotdog under the sun. By the end of the class, MD and me was soaked in sweats.

Quickly continued with JX's combat class. It was just LP, MD and me as BQ FFK us to go TC. We will remember this betrayal that was bestowed upon us dear. LOL!!! Class was really stuffy and we all sweat like hell once again. Did some mixed tracks tonight and we all had fun, I guess. Continued with minum session after that with BQ joining us. Nasi lemak again for me. Damn, it's my third nasi lemak of the week. Cut down, cut down!!!

First Gym Night After A Long Holiday

Work was hectic as usual in this new company but I like the feeling of it. I like to get myself preoccupied with work. Time passes by more easily that way. Managed to grab lunch with KNSQ and SOS before heading for my appointment in Kuchai and way back to Shah Alam. Waited 45mins for my customer but it was worth the wait. Looked at the time and it's a bit passed 5.

So drove to Summit and get ready for Yoga class. Class was tough tonight as we did a lot of strength and balancing. Jean reminded me that I haven't joined her class for 1 month. Is it that long already? LOL!! Luckily I can still bend. Went to take a quick drink downstairs while waiting for the next class. JX was replacing Master T for this week. Class was OK, minor errors but she's still new, so I'll let it slide. haha!

Finished the class and went for minum as usual. KNSQ and SOS joined Haloween pump class. MD and me went to this new place called Bliss 33 in USJ. Nasi Lemak Special was really good. Better than Old Town and any other cafe I'd been to. Environment was good not too pack. Open air but still air conditioned, so it's not too stuffy or hot. Price of food are resoable too. Somemore FREE WIFI. Sweet~~

The First Day of Work After Paradise

Work was really rush yesterday as I need to clear all my outstanding proposal in hand. Appointment with customers and also help to answer in coming calls as two of my admins are Indians and they are still on leave till the end of the week. Went out for lunch with some friends and trying out this place at Centre Point which sells Filipino dishes. I took Cheese Baked Pork Rice which was nice while my friend had ordered Japanese Pork Set which was normal and another ordered some Stewed Pork is it? And it was disastrous. Nevertheless I had a good lunch and continued with meeting up with my customers.

Finished off all my work and headed off a tit early to tidy up my room. Uploaded most of the selected pictures from my trip over to FB. Finally took up the time and effort to blog what I did during my trip to Tawau. Lengthy I know, but bare with me on this one. I had shortened it as much as possible. At the same time, started watching Gossip Girl while blogging. Not a bad show, something like The O.C cross over with 90210. Booked some tickets for movie this Friday and Saturday. So whose up for a movie?

Tawau Trip Day 5 & 6

Went to Semporna and meet up with another family before leaving for Singamata. It's a floating restaurant. It's just 10minutes boat ride from Semporna. We went over to have lunch initially. We had some really filling lunch. And do trust me when I say filling. I had my first taste of lobster thanx to Romiko's aunt.
Initial plan was to go over a new island not far away but since it's raining so we had to called it off. Sad~! So we decided to just swim nearby the restaurant. It's really nice with all the big fishes swimming next to you. What an experience. There is also a package here for scuba crash course for RM120. Sweet~!
We went back to the port around 4pm. Don't wanna leave but at the end we still need to bid farewell. We all had fun with a full stomach if I may add. LOL~! We had another big seafood dinner with Romiko's friend back at town that night. Damn, I really need to get my cholesterol level check once I am back to Peninsular.
Last day in Tawau was really rush for us as we have a lot of place to be. Woke up and had a local breakfast of bread and noodles. Went to this Chinese Temple with her aunt for some prayers. Rush to get souvenirs at the local places. Grab a quick buffet lunch at the town so called most prestigious hotel called Marco Polo. Went to the Dry and Wet Market to get some foods back to PJ. Grab some drink along the way, which is only available overthere. Some sort of Ice Blended Coconut water. Not bad. And finally went to the airport to get on board back to Peninsular.
What a rushing day but all worth the time and sweat as we really do enjoyed our trip. Many many thanx to Romiko's aunt, brother, Darren, Hoong, Amy and Joanne for their hospitality and also time for showing us their beautiful town.

Tawau Trip Day 4

Woke up late this morning as I don't have plan yet. Well not that early anyway. Bingy came back Tawau last minute to visit his grandma. So he called and we hooked up for brunch. He took us out for brunch at this place in town which he said served the best Pork Noodle. It's different from the one we had in Peninsular. Their chilly was spicy and the noodle was not the normal yellow noodle we ate. Anyway, we talk and he took us on another tour round town before sending us home.Waited for dinner that night as the group from Banting had plan for a BBQ session. Cool~! Went over and the party already started. There were chicken wings, potatoes, clamps, oysters and also hotdogs. Food was good~! LOL~! Some of them started playing Rami and finally I pick up the game again. But the wager are too large for me. So I am just a spectator for the night. Crash early tonight as Romiko's aunt had plan for another trip for us tomorrow morning. Sweet~!

Tawau Trip Day 2 & 3

Arrived at Semporna after 90minutes of drive from Tawau town. But not before grabbing our breakfast. We're introduced to their local breakfast of pork noodle and also polo buns. Nice~! Romiko's aunt's brother in law, Hoong and his girlfriend joined us for the trip and drove us over too. We meet up with the other group which surprisingly came from Banting. Sweet~! All Hokkien-Lang~! LOL~!
Reached Mataking Island from Semporna around 50mintues. The weather is bright and sunny. Water is bright and clear. We all checked in and had our lunch buffet. Settled in our bags and join Hoong for an adventure to the other island. OK, here's the thing, there's this small island next to the main island. The thing is that the 'road' to the island might submerged in sea water when high tides is on. So we need to make it back and fro before it happens. Water was high when we are on our way back. Suspense~! LOL!!!Changed into our snorkeling gears and off we go to the beach. As you all know, I am not a good swimmer. OK, I can't swim. Even with a life jacket I don't dare to go to a level where I can't stand. But I got a pointer from Hoong's girlfriend and I managed to stay a float on my own. From that moment, everything was history. I swam the whole beach. Without any problem at all. How cool~! Saw a lot of fishes but no sight of turtles. Sad ~! But it was an achievement for me to swim that far and all. Sweet~! We went for some jacuzzi session afterwards to relax while watching the sun sets. So nice~! What a sight~!Prepared for dinner and decided to join the jungle tracking but as it was raining, so it was cancelled. But we have fun taking pictures the whole day. So we took some time browsing the pictures and enjoying each others company. Spending quality time with my dear was the best time for me during the whole trip.

The next morning started with a long rain since late last night. So we packed our stuff and had our breakfast. Thought to grab a late swim but the tides was strong. Sad~! So we just waited for our ship to arrive by that time. So what to do but take more pictures for memory. We checked out at 3.30pm and went straight back home. Tiring trip but a nice memorable one. Romiko's brother even took us out for clubbing that night. Music was loud and the songs selections sux! But it was packed. Weird~! Hehe!

Tawau Trip Day 1

This is gonna be a long post, sorry but bare with me as I will try to make it as brief as possible for your reading pleasure and before you fall asleep reading it. LOL!!! We started our journey at 5 in the morning leaving my house. Reached LCCT at 5.40am and checked in. Grab quickie breakfast at McD and off we go to the boarding terminal. Flight got delayed for almost 2 hours. Fark~! Some weather problem I think. Managed to reached Tawau airport around noon. Romiko's aunt waited for us in her car. Pai Seh~!She took us for lunch at this place which served Fish Head Noodles. It was one of their many local favorite (I will get into the food section in my other post for now). She took us for a Tawau town tour before heading back to her place. It took us less than 30mins to finished the tour. They have one cinema/cineplex to be exact. They don't have McD but they do have a few of KFC restaurants. They had all the local and foreign banks which makes transaction a breeze.
Went over to her aunt's shop which is nearby their house. It's a shop that sells Chinese Wedding Custom Accessories. This is the only shop of it's kind in Tawau. So business is really good. Headed back to the house for a bath and rest. Prepared for dinner tonight at Sepintu. It's a place famous for their seafood. Nice~! Romiko's aunt brought over a bottle of liquor for a drink during the dinner. Sweet~! Dinner was superb. Ate some really weird food but it was nice. Had another supper session with Romiko's brother and her secondary school friend.
Damn it was a long day. Need to wake up early tomorrow for our Mataking Island trip. Need to wake up around 8am as we need to reach Semporna before 10am. But we are looking forward for the whole trip. Sweet~!

My Tawau Trip

I am so worried that I can't get a ride to LCCT later this morning. Tried calling the stupid KLIA Limo service which are operational 24 hours or claimed by them, but no one picked up the farking phone. Lousy service. I think I called at least 50 times today. Catch a movie with LP and CP before I left. Finally managed to secured a cab over to LCCT later this morning at 5am. Depature at 720am so I need to arrive around 6am. Damn early but I will arrive early around 10am and can cover more grounds that way.

So I won't be able to blog through out this week until next Wednesday. Hopefully will get to take a lot of pretty pictures while I am there. So you all better behave yourself and try not to kill each other while I am away. Can imagine all the unlimited seafoods and also the other nice dishes over there that I am gonna eat this weekend. Like I always say, I eat hard hence I work harder. See yer~~ !!!

I Need More Weights

I was really tired from the late night sleep and the early rise as I need to get prepare for the seminar today morning. What a surprised when only half of the participants arrived. This is one of the worst feedback from all these years according to my colleagues. Maybe it's the location issue, I am not sure. So we have a lot of free lunch buffet coupons to be given away. Called up all the ex-colleagues and office staff to come over Crystal Crown for lunch. Don't wanna waste the coupon. After the seminar, we need to pack up our machines and all. Damn tiring. Saw some 'china merchandise' while I am bringing stuff down through the lift.

Rushed back to the office to finished off the enquiries as I need to rush it off before my leave. Managed to leave my office around 6pm to Consplant for Sue's Body Pump class. Everyone was so surprised that I didn't do the Step class. Aiyo~! Cannot make it la. Pump was fantastic, managed to increased my weights again tonight. Hopefully technique improved by now. Class wasn't that full as usual but it was a nice karaoke class for me.

All of us was waiting for Master T to arrive after the class. KNSQ even purposely came all the way for the class. Look at the time and it's already quarter to 9. Something is wrong, so I called Master T and got inform that he wasn't teaching tonight. He even informed Aubrey earlier bout this but noone from the front desk said anything. So nice of Brian to arranged a replacement for the members. At the end, Kit did a last minute 45mins Jam class.

As usual, we went for minum session after the class. Well atleast I did a class, BQ ran on the treadmill while KNSQ joined Jam class. LP just sit and read the paper to burn some calories. LOL~!!!

Pump Weights: Warm Up: 5kgs; Squats: 17.5kgs; Chest: 8.5kgs; Back: 11kgs; Triceps: 7.5kgs with 2.5kgs on pull over; Biceps: 6kgs and 7.5kgs on biceps rows.

Two Bears

Work was really packed these week as I need to get ready my schedules and appointments done before I am off for my trip this coming Thursday. My company are giving a seminar at Crystal Crown tomorrow and we need to set up the whole ballroom by today. Finally managed to settle everything and they drop a bomb shell on me. "Steven, can you be the MC for tomorrow's seminar?" WTH??? So last minute? But I like a challenge and it's not they're asking me to prepare a speech or something. Will do it after gym tonight.

Rushed over to TC from Crystal Crown around 6.30pm. Should be no problem for me, but I took a wrong turn and got stuck in this super long crawl from Eastin Hotel. Stupid~! Another long jam en route to TTDI. Managed to reached TC around 7.10pm, saw LP and passed her my bottle to fill as I rush to the locker to change. Luckily managed to make it or else will skip the class and continued with Body Pump. Class was OK, saw two BEARS on the stage. Trust me, it's a rare sight. LOL~!!! Surprisingly she got the first move on the first track wrong. haha~ Doesn't surprised me. As for K-Bear, your 99.99% (self-claimed) fool's proof chore depreciated to 80% for me. LOL~!!! I asked someone for a favour and thanx dear for sending me the mms. OK, it's nothing special, but it's not always that we all parked side by side, OK?!!! LOL~!! Waited for BQ and someone suggested to go minum as she was hungry. Fine with me, as I need a drink too. Had some laugh and someone sure needed it. Called it a night around half pass eleven as I need to finished off my speech for tomorrow's seminar. Long day ahead of me and better get ready for it.

Pump Weights: Warm Up: 5kgs; Squats: 17.5kgs; Chest: 8.5kgs; Back: 11kgs; Triceps: 7.5kgs with 2.5kgs on pull over; Biceps: 6kgs and 7.5kgs on biceps rows

Staying Home On A Rainy Day

It has been raining since last Friday and it's still raining as I speak. Woke up quite late this morning and catch my lunch at Millennium Square. I had ordered the wrong dish and had to finished it. Darn it. Personal note, don't order something which you never eat before, ask the waiter for details. Went to Digital Mall for a walk as I am looking for something. But at the end, decided not to get it. I am quite indecisive sometimes. LOL~!

It starts to rain around evening while I am catching up with my dramas at home. Damn it's nice sleeping at home on a rainy day while watching some good shows. Wake up and went to the night market for a walk with my girl. Didn't managed to find the stuff for our coming trip. Hopefully can get it before Wednesday though. Was raining heavily when I reached home around 10.30pm. Luckily house not flooded again. Sigh~! What a relief. Continued with my Supernatural Season 4. And yes, it's a really interesting show, or else I won't be watching it for four seasons by now.

Tonight I'm gonna have a nice sleep from the sound of rain drops I heard outside my room right now.

Raya Open House

It was my first and last Hari Raya open house this year. As I don't have much colleague who are Malay so I don't get invited this year. Luckily Wanie reserved a day for us, FF members to go over her place for makan session. Pick up CP, BQ and LP and joined the rest over to Wanie's house. Everyone was there when we arrived. As usual saw Alvin P. and Katherine over there. Food was good but the Rendang finished quite early so didn't have the chance to really taste it. Sad. But we did managed to filled our stomach with a lot of other foods like cookies and muffins.

What a surprised when the guys saw there's a Wii in front of the TV. We do not need an invitation for that. So the guys were all swinging their remotes everywhere, shouting and yelling. What a nice work out. Who need GX classes anymore when you have one of this at home (just kidding kakaka!!).

KK was late due to some unforeseen circumstances (highly doubtful). Most of the people left and so were we around midnight. But decided to make a detour at Taipan for some after dinner minum session. Called it a night around 1.30am. What a tiring long day for me.

Max Payne

This is a movie which was inspired by a computer game. I still remembered this game first came out around 5 years ago. Damn it's so cool~! The slow-mo was the best. Matrix just came out at that time and everyone was so into the slow-mo sequence.

OK, coming back to the movie. It stars Mark Warlberg as Detective Max Payne. His world got turned upside down after the death of his wife and baby. So he spent the rest of his life searching for the people who is responsible for their death. A new lead on the culprit resurface after a few year when people started to die one by one. Their death are claimed to be responsible by some angels from heaven. Weird? Well the plot was quite predictable for me. Managed to guess the whole plot after less than 30minutes of the whole show.

The show might not be that interesting nor deep but for those (like me) who played the game before hand, would definitely watch it as I am curious to see how they gonna portray Max Payne in the real movie screen. I was waiting for some non-bullshit fast hitting gun shooting scene as in the game but it only happens around the end of the show. Quite disappointing and it's quite short. I expected more action in the movie but rather they focused more on the life of the character and how it effects his surrounding people. Not bad, makes me wanna reinstall the game and play it all over again. (Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0)

Karaoke Night

The night started off quite slow for me. Luckily IM was there for Body Pump tonight. Got motivation to carry extra weights. My technique still need to be improved on the squats. Well practice makes perfect, right? Finished the pump class and continued with Combat as usual. This is the highlight of the night as I am doing K-Bear's first combat class since the launch. Surprised me babe. : ) OK la, 99% passed. I give you that. We (as in me and K-Bear) sang a lot during the class. BQ always gave me a face when I started to sing. Hmm....weird~ You called it SS or whatever, but I am enjoying myself. LOL~! Tonight's class wasn't that tired maybe because I was more motivated doing it. Motivated by ??? I don't know either. It just come. Hopefully it stays. Something I learnt, our mind can't be distracted when we're doing the tracks or we will really forget the chore. haha~ Lesson well learnt~!

Pump Weight: Warm up: 5kgs; Squats: 17.5kgs; Chest: 8.5kgs (need to increase); Back: 10kgs; Triceps: 7.5kgs with 2.5kgs kick back; Biceps: 5kgs with 2.5kgs for bicep rows.

One of Those Days

It's another one of those days which I felt so bored with everything. Work is OK. As I am learning the ropes and all. But after work I felt so lazy nowadays. Going to the gym seemed to be a routine for me by now. So if I don't go to the gym, I will felt a certain emptiness in my heart. Maybe I am quite used of the so called routine throughout these few years of working out in the gym after work. Don't misunderstand, I like working out and sweating it all out after a long day work. Maybe I need something else to motivate me. Having a drink after gym is really nice as we can get together and joke around. Maybe it's just a phase I am going through right now. Maybe it's just the new release is so damn boring to me by now.

"Never fear what love can do to you, Cause I believe we find a way. This I say to you, Have you ever really seen a rainbow, Have you ever really touched the blue blue sky. Have you ever really seen a falling star. He'll be crying tonight. - Sea of Love

6-7-0

It's always nice to have a nice warm dinner while the sky is pouring down heavily. What is a good dinner without some good company, that is what I always say. Well it was really raining cats and dogs yesterday and I was looking for someone to have dinner with me. Finally managed to conned a friend to have dinner. LOL~! Decided to have something hot and warm since it's cold outside. Hell the traffic was really a pain in the arse outside. Took me close to half an hour just to reach our location.

We have a long talk and seemed that my friend was a bit cheered up. My friend had been quite down with the hectic work load and also personal matters (I assume). People come and go but we're there till they forced us to pay the bill. And still we continued to sat and talk further more as there were new customers coming in. LOL~! We were the last customer to leave the place. And I think the people were so impatience for us to leave so that they can clean up and leave too.

I learnt a new game called Area Code yesterday night from two friends. And I scored 6-7-0 from the game. I'll be damn~! Not bad I guess. Those who don't know what I am talking about. Well, tough luck. Better ask your friends who does.

Bored Already??

I was able to make it for the new Body Step class by Brian last night. So how was the new Step? Well there a few changes even from Track 1. Songs are OK but I don't really like the track from conditioning. A bit slow and unmotivated for me. There's one track ( I think it's 7) which was quite confusing as we need to cross the board and switch over a few times. Later I continued with Sue's Body Pump class. Class wasn't that packed compared to last time. But we all had fun with the new release. She just got back from Korea for the training and I like what she said before the class about Korea and I quote "What is it with Kimchi? The War is over. Stop fermenting all their food already" Damn funny~! LOL~! I had increased my weight slightly tonight as I am quite familiar with the tracks already (2nd class..LOL). Tired but well worth the training.

Body Combat 37 had just released not long ago but I seemed to have lost the mood to do it. I am not sure why? Maybe I got the chore too early? But I didn't do any of it. I think someone had the feeling with me on this. Don't get me wrong, the music is good and all but I'm really bored with Track 4 and 6 especially. Track 3 and 8 is alright. Track 5 is a nice sing a lot but once you did it one time too many, it lost the essence of the whole track. Anyway, we do gave our all on Track 8, we shout and we sang and we punch like there's no tomorrow. LOL~!!!

BP Weight: Warm Up: 5kgs; Squats: 17.5kgs; Chest: 8.5kgs; Back: 10kgs; Triceps: 6kgs; Biceps: 5kgs + 2.5kgs (bicep rows).

Mentally Exhausted

Why can't we have a clear cut answer to all our questions? Either it's a quick YES or a simple NO. It' s not like we're deciding to go to the moon or something. LOL~! Well I think some understand what I meant by this.

Didn't went for class tonight as Master C is not teaching till 12th Nov. So it will be Peggy most of the time replacing the class. Darn it~! Luckily there is still K-Bear's class after that to look forward to. But we skipped the class tonight for makan. haha~! I am mentally exhausted from last weekend's test of my endurance mentally and physically. So since LP said wanna skip the class. So we went over to Uptown for some dinner with CP coming down from Klang to join us. MD couldn't make it as he's in IOI doing 3 back to back classes (KP already!! LOL!!).

It was raining when I got out from house, and a lot of thoughts came flying through my mind. Will this rain turn into last weekend flash flood? I hope not. Damn it's frustrating when each time I leave my home either morning for work or dinner at night, to worry if my house will get flooded again or not. I need to get my landlord to do something bout this or else me and my housemates will opt to look for a new place to stay. Well this is our ultimatum for the time being.

Blood Donation

It was Sunday and we were out for lunch with my brother. Had dim sum at Uptown before headed towards Summit for a stroll. MKA dog fair. How cool~! CP message me as he was there also. While I was there, I noticed that Rotary Club from Puchong had organized a blood donation bank outside of Popular book store. I wanted to donate at that spot but didn't have anyone to accompany me. Romiko couldn't donate as she had low blood pressure. So I gave up the idea at the end. But I really do wish to donate one of these days.

Headed back home around 3pm as I was afraid that it will rain again and we needed to get some preparation done before it (rain) comes. Barricade the front of the gate with blocks of bricks and cleared all the drains as usual. Looking at my room right now, I am very satisfied with the new arrangement. Everything look so organized and more convenient and spacious too. As I had to throw away long unwanted stuff inside my room. This is the only upside of my whole ordeal. As expected the rain did came but luckily it wasn't that heavy. But we were all quite worried it will return at night while we're all sleeping. Fingers cross~!

Honey Honey - ABBA

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey
I'd heard about you before I wanted to know some more
And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine
Oh, you make me dizzy

Honey honey, let me feel it, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, don't conceal it, ah-hah, honey honey
The way that you kiss goodnight
(The way that you kiss me goodnight)
The way that you hold me tight
(The way that you're holding me tight)
I feel like I wanna sing when you do your thing

I don't wanna hurt you, baby, I don't wanna see you cry
So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
But I'm gonna stick to you, boy, you'll never get rid of me
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be

Honey honey, touch me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
Honey honey, hold me, baby, ah-hah, honey honey
You look like a movie star
(You look like a movie star)
But I know just who you are
(I know just who you are)
And, honey, to say the least, you're a dog-gone beast

So stay on the ground, girl, you better not get too high
There's no other place in this world where I rather would be

Honey honey, how you thrill me, ah-hah, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me, ah-hah, honey honey I heard about you before I wanted to know some more And now I know what they mean, you're a love machine oh, you make me dizzy [ fade ]

Body Combat 38 Sizzler - Updated Playlist

I know I know, BODYCOMBAT™ 37 had just been launch last weekend and now I am writting bout BODYCOMBAT™ 38 . But it's already out. What can I say. Dan & Rach gonna tape their BODYCOMBAT™ 39 this early November according to my sources. lol~! Ok let's get back to the main issue here.

On the new BODYCOMBAT™ 38 , they have this new move called Kick KATA. It's a leg conditioning and shoulder smashing punch combo. BODYCOMBAT™ 38 – the ultimate heavyweight Boxing release – is gonna take no prisoners!There’s no gentle easing into this class – Track 2 features three separate combos but The Hives’ Try It Again will motivate you to “Get up, get down and try it again”!

The ultimate Kick KATA in Track 4 is a truly butt-blasting challenge – you’ll chisel and shape your butt with the Back Kick and those deep Lunges in between really seal the deal! Track 5, Avril Lavigne’s The Best Damn Thing, sees the start of those new shoulder-smashing combos. Don’t be fooled by the upbeat Pop music – this track is relentless!

You don’t get a chance to catch your breath before powering into Track 6 – another butt and leg-toning track – with the Lunge & Esquiva Combo. Kick-boxing and Capoeira have a strong presence in this track for which The Prodigy provide the motivating sounds required. Cascada asks “What hurts the most?” in Track 8 and it’s safe to say BODYCOMBAT™ hurts the most! Just when you think this track is over – pow, you’ve got another set to go.”

Damn I like Cascada song in BODYPUMP™ and now it's in BODYCOMBAT™ 38, how cool can it be. I can still remember that track from BODYPUMP™ 66 which was a killer track for Clean & Press. Can't wait to check out the video. Sadly the Lunge & Esquiva combo is back and gonna do more damage this time around, so be prepared

Finally the full playlist for the coming BODYCOMBAT™ 38. Yes, we have a double songs for Track 4 again. So get ready for some lotta kicking and punching again. Fingers Cross~!

Fatty Duck Teo Chew Stewed Duck - Taman Paramount

This is a placed which my brother like to visit a lot. As for me, I don't really fancy Stewed Duck but rather like Roasted Duck. But since it's so nice (according to them) so I think I might as well introduce this place for those who like Stewed Duck in Teo Chew style. The placed is located at the corner shop in Taman Paramount.
The place served rice and also their specialty white porridge which surprisingly tasted very good. It's those porridge with a lot of water rather than those thick one which I prefer. Their dishes is shown in front of the stall. So you can choose whatever you like and order.
So here's what my family had ordered for the night. This is their special salted vegetable which is a must if you eating here.
This is one of Teo Chew dish which you must order. It's their stewed eggs.
Here's the main dish. It's their Stewed Duck. The gravy is very tasty and not too thick. Meat was tender and not too dry. But still I like my duck roasted.
This is another must order dish which is the stewed pork. I am not sure if the gravy was the same as the eggs or not but it is really nice. You must mix the fat pork together when you order as it tasted better that way.
So what is Teo Chew dish without Tofu. What can I say, but it's soft. But I don't really dig this type of tofu though.

The whole dinner cost us RM52.80 and I think it's quite worth it with all the dishes that we ordered. There's vegetables, pork, duck and also eggs. What a balance good healthy dinner. And yes, we're all full and satisfied. But I prefer stewed pork which was prepared by my own grandma anytime. No doubt about it. (Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0)

My House Was Flooded AGAIN .. WTF

What a day I had on last Friday. I woke up around 10am and I need to rushed back to PJ to clean up my house. Reached home and saw my housemate had almost cleaned up their own respective rooms. Now it's my turn to do that. Took me till noon to finished off everything. Saw the sky turning black again around 1.30pm and it started to rain around 2pm.Called my housemates and they are rushing back except 1. I had cleared my drainage as I suspect that it was the blockage which cause the water coming in. But hell I was wrong when I saw those water rising above the barrier in front of my house. The whole lawn was flooded and it' s not the drainage problem for sure. The water flowing in was just too fast than the water flow going out of the house. I can just quickly blocked the water from going into my room by putting clothes underneath my door gap. And that saved my room from getting flooded again. Hallelujah~!But I couldn't say the same for my other two housemate's room. So I helped them cleared the living room and also their rooms before going out for dinner with my family. Yup my parents and brother came over to look at ground zero. It was really a tiring day for all of us as we have to clean up the whole house and there were a whole lot of stuff to be thrown away too. Now all my stuff was elevated from the ground thanx to my plastic container which I bought previously.

My House Was Flooded .. WTF

I was chatting with K-Bear on Friday when I received a call from housemate informing me that our house was flooded. WTF~ You got to be kidding me. This had never happened to my house during my 7 years living there. So I left my office and rushed back and there was this long jam at LDP. Fark~ Reached home and saw my living room was flooded around feet level. My housemate's sister was moving her stuff out their room. I quickly opened my room and saw most of the water had gone down.

It took us the whole night clearing the water and cleaning our room. I need to took out all my stuff out as the carpet flooring was damaged and I decided to throw everything out. Luckily my girl came down to help me out. Finally decided to crashed at my brother's house that night as to wait for the next day to start cleaning again. Went out to have supper with MD, BQ and LP at Canai 15 around 1am. KK came over and joined too. We called it a night around 2.30am is it?

PS: Sorry again K-Bear for FFK you that night. I heard class was 'interesting and hillarious'. What to do? Your 'life jacket' was in need of his own life jacket that day. lol~~~!!! No worries, life jacket be back next week.

Numbers

I am really freezing my ass off in the office nowadays. I still can't go out that often as I am still understanding the company's products and all. This time around, I need to do a lot of calculation or sizing for the products which I am proposing to my customers. For my previous two companies, I do not need such hassle. But it's the same with my first job though. It's far more complicated over here as I had to take into consideration a lot of factors while doing the design work. So I see a lot of equations and also numbers these days (head spinning, eyes rolling). Well something new for me and it's also a challenge for me as I had mostly forgotten my thermodynamics after my college years. lol~!

Mamma Mia - ABBA

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when

So I made up my mind, it must come to an end

Look at me now, will I ever learn?

I don't know how but I suddenly lose control

There's a fire within my soul

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

(Chorus)

Mamma mia, here I go again

My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again?

My my, just how much I've missed you

Yes, I've been brokenhearted

Blue since the day we parted

Why, why did I ever let you go?

Mamma mia, now I really know,

My my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about the things that you do

I can't count all the times that I've told you were through

And when you go, when you slam the door

I think you know that you won't be away too long

You know that I'm not that strong.

Just one look and I can hear a bell ring

One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

(Repeat Chorus)

Mamma mia, even if I say

Bye bye, leave me now or never

Mamma mia, its a game we

bye doesnt mean forever

(Repeat Chorus)

Quiet Summit

I was thinking if I could make it tonight for gym or not while waiting for my SIL at Axis. Finally when I was about to leave her office, there was this massive jam in front of me. Damn it was those nasty long crawls and it's not moving at all. Finally managed to reached Kinrara after 50mins jam. Definitely joining Body Combat tonight but had to skipped Yoga class.

Saw LP in the basement and we walked to the gym. Saw Master T and Jac joined Body Jam class. Yeah! You go boy~!! Class starts at 7.50pm which was quite late. Did they changed the time table? Class was quiet and cold tonight. It was just me, MD, LP, CP and BQ. Even Uncle Peter managed to make it tonight. And we all know why he was here tonight, right? lol~~!!! We all went for minum later at our usual hang out place in USJ1. Thanx again bro for the drinks.

Dancing Queen - Abba

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

(Chorus)
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

(Repeat Chorus)

Body Combat 37 Launch @ IOI

Last night was the night where all my so-called SSI gonna be on the same stage. This is the third and last location for the new release launching. And the leading instructors for the night are Renne, Master T with Master C and Peggy shadowing. I had tried to make it for K-Bear & Catherine's BB launch but since I heard that someone don't like members running out before the class ends and I do need to go out a tit earlier so I decided not to joined the class.

The class was well packed that night all waiting for the launch to get started. You can see IOI's CombatMadness members wearing their shirts and hand wraps. Luckily we were able to find a spot next to the stage and was able to do some kicks and shuffles. As usual, Renne started the class off with Track 1 to 3 (Track 8 and cool down) and Master T followed up with Track 4 to 7 and 9. Yes, he finally managed to do his Capoera moves on the stage but with all the other instructors running away scared of being kick. lol~! The class was so loud and packed with power the whole night.

Track 5 was a really karaoke track and we all did sing a long with it. Nice~~~ We were all laughing when Master C tried to shout but ended up sounded like something 'else'. haha~ Nice try bro. For me the Track 9 was really challenging if you're really doing the C-Crunch correctly. Push up at the end with alternate shoulder and triceps were a supplement.

Anyway, we all went for minum at Bandar Puteri and hell did we Bring The Noise together with us. Everyone was looking at our table that night. We were like laughing like it was in our own sweet home. Nice having all of us in one table and laughing our ass off. We all called it a night around midnight as we're all tired. A night to remember for sure.

Body Balance 42 & Body Combat 37 @ KBT

Last night we, BKLTL members decided to stomp KBT for the BC37 launch by Cheng and Eugene with Alvin shadowing. But before that, BQ, LP and me had decided to joined Body Balance 42 which lead by Riyo and Klevin while Ken Mun is shadowing. So what do I think of the new release? I guess it's a bit less challenging than the previous launch. In this release we have the theme song for The Last of The Mohicans to start the class off. Nice~! Tai Chi warm up was nice and simple with the normal moves and all.

Coming to the Shiva Salutation in The Sun Salutation was a new move in this release. There is also a new alignment poses in the Standing Strength track. Song was nice from Sugarbabes (i think). There is also the hip opener later in which stretches our inner thigh and hips. Really nice. Klevin's instruction was clear and accurate so we're able to follow it with ease. The Pointer track was nice and simple but maybe the track was a bit too short. Maybe? But we were a bit lost during Riyo's chore on the Twist track. As we are required to do a lying down body twist facing the stage and back. But overall the class was OK but less challenging compared to the previous one.

Rushed to changed our shoe for the Body Combat class which starts after that. Class was full. Managed to squeezed into a spot next to the stage. Cheng did the 1st half and Eugene bring it home for the remaining tracks. Cheng and Eugene had some mistakes here and there but they are leading for the first time. So it's something new for them. Hopefully this will be a valuable experience for them to learn from, for the coming release in December.

Saw some hardcore members from KBT and it's nice seeing a group of people supporting their club instructors. But Hell if I'm gonna wear a BKLTL T-shirt if anyone even pay me to do so. lol~!!! Minum session was quite late as I reached home around 12.30am. Tired~!!

Restaurant Ah Wa Vs. Damansara Hokkien Mee

There are two very special or some might called famous Hokkien Noodle restaurant in PJ area. For those who are as crazy as I am with Hokkien Noodle, should know these two places. The first is called Restaurant Ah Wa, which is located along Jalan 223. The restaurant is so famous that some of my friends came down from Klang just to taste it. The place is always packed with visitors around dinner time. As usual, their Hokkien Noodle is black and thick, just the way I like it. Like I always said, if it's not black, it's not Hokkien Noodle to me. I don't think that they are using charcoal to cook this but it's close to the real one. Fried lard is a must for me in my Hokkien Noodle. I think some of you out there do agree with me on this. What is Hokkien Noodle without fried lard? The more the merrier. lol~! Other then that, they have the usual vegetables and prawns. (Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0)
The other restaurant that I am referring to is called Damansara Famous Hokkien Mee. Yes, the name really do says it all. It's located at Damansara Uptown. Same row as Public Bank and behind Daroos. They do served other dishes like fried rice, Cantonese Noodles and Steamed Yee Mee. There is a stall next to it selling Peiking Duck which is really good too. So you can always mix this two together, which I always do.
The Hokkien Noodle at this restaurant is also black but not that thick. They prepared a whole big wok of it and divided it up to smaller portions. Not that appetizing if you are looking at it, but all places do that. The sad part bout this place is that, you need to pay extra if you wanted extra fried lard. What the hell~!!! But I was quite disappointed that their Hokkien Noodle do taste a bit salty sometimes (too much soya sauce??). Maybe due to the mass production during cooking. But you can see a lot of people sitting outside the stall during dinner hour. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

New Job, New Colleagues, New Challenges

This is my first day at working in my new company which is located at Damansara Intan. The company is located geographically near to my house. But I need to make a big U-turn in front of Eastin Hotel which is always jam in the morning. But I found out that there's an alternate route behind Damansara Ken III which connects to the company back alley. Sweet~! But I got lost looking for it this morning and end up using the main road. lol~!

The company was more organized compared to my previous one. I was given a notebook after lunch and was able to access my company's server and mail box. Sweet~! The best part is, there's no restriction on the notebook, which means I can install what ever stuff I wanted on it. But I was reminded not to install any unlicensed software on it. lol~! Lunch was good as my manager treat the whole office to San Francisco Steakhouse.

Read a lot of documents and also manuals to get familiarize with the company's products and all. Will go over my company's factory which is located in Bangi tomorrow with my manager. Found out that there's a back door to the stairs which my colleague go for a smoke. Surprisingly most of the colleagues smoke (even the girls and women). Maybe I need to take up to 'social' with them. My marketing manager asked me for a smoke but I told her that I don't smoke. lol~! Pai Seh!!!

Left the office around 6.10pm with my manager and another colleague still staying around. Now I know how it feel to carry a 2kg block around my shoulder. Damn~!!!

Body Pump 67 & Body Combat 37 Launch @ TC

Today is the day for FF's launch of the new release. Damn I had waited so long for this to happen that I somehow lost some of the hype of it already. So my first class was Body Pump and the leading instructor is Jackson and K-Bear with Teh and MG shadowing. Warm up was nice with the Bleeding Love song. This time around we do lunges before squats during warm up. Squat track wasn't that hard compared to the previous release as there were a few small break during the bottom half squats. Chest wasn't that hard too as there were break here and there.

Clean & Press was a bit normal but still alright as we have 3 break during the track. Triceps was a bit challenging with some pull over and the kick back was a killer at the end. Biceps was surprisingly not as hard as I imagined it would be. Maybe there a break for the new move, biceps row (which I add 2.5kg). Lunges was alright as I don't used any weight. Shoulder track was a bit challenging with the Mac Raise and the Rotator Press. For track 9 they have this move which was brought over from BB. It's called and I quote from K-Bear, 'innovative plank' (OK, just found out it's called Plank Crunch) was quite challenging but the repetition was too short (Yes, I know dear, you lost some sets during that kick). The rest was as usual nice and just wanna say K-Bear you did a great job on the new release. Maybe you're right, the pain will kick in after a few classes on the new release. lol~!

As for the Body Combat class, Peggy was leading with Master T with Janice and Renee shadowing. Class was packed as expected. Well seeing is believing, well in my case, doing it. Watching the chore and really doing it, is two different feeling. I can really feel the power when I am kicking and punching to the beat. The class was all crazy and hype from track 1. I don't think anyone else could lead Track 5 other than Master T with him bringing the mood and the power to the track and also fun too. And it's also a fun sing a long track.

Track 6 is a killer with lots of lunges and capoera moves. I like the Muay Tai more and more after doing it and the music is so loud and strong too. The last power track is a bit different with hooks coming in from the back. Well a lot of the punches comes from the back on this release as they wanted to train our back arm rather then concentrating just on the front. Push ups are normal but the challenge comes at the end with some biceps and triceps alternate push up. Overall, the class was really fun and exhausting as Master T brought a sword with him with some vampire teeth and all. Minor mistakes from Peggy during track 8 but we're all humans right? lol~!

BP Weights: Warm-Up: 5kgs, Squats: 15kgs; Chest: 8.5kgs; Back: 10kgs; Triceps: 5kgs; Biceps: 5kgs + 2.5kgs; Lunges: None; Shoulders: 5kgs / 2.5kgs plates.

Mamma Mia

I was quite skeptical when my friend told me that this film really that good. And when another friend said the same. Well why not go and judge it myself. Since I love Abba's song that much, no harm right? Damn I was blown away.

The story sets on a colorful Greek island (which I think is the best wedding location for me now). It tells the story of a girl played by Amanda Seyfried, who is getting married and wishes her real biological father to give her away on her wedding day. But there is three possible candidates. So what does a sane girl would do? Invite them all. LOL~!!! All hell broke loose when her mom played by Meryl Streep, found out bout the men of her pass is coming to the wedding. The three men consists of Stellan Skarsgard, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth (whom I think is the better singer among the men).

Imagine Hindustan movies with a lot of back up singers and also dancers at the back. Yes, this is the Western version. lol~! By my opinion, Meryl Streep can really sing an act very well and she portrays the character very convincingly. A must watch movie if you like the songs or if you are looking for something different this season. (Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0)

Ccozi & Friends - Sunway Pyramid

This place is located opposite Shih Ling inside Asia Avenue. So it isn't that hard to locate but if you really want to know it's exact location, it's Lot 127, F1 Asia Avenue. The place is called Ccozi & Friends. They served Korean streets food which is not bad from the pictures I saw in their menu. So I thought why not give it a try. We ordered one of their famous DDOCK BOK KI & Original Chicken Fried combo. Ddock Bok Ki simply means sliced rice cake. This is one of their famous street delicacy according to CP. So it's a must try. According to LP the dish was quite spicy. Don't really think but maybe it's just me. The fried chicken is very crunchy although it's covered with lots of their special sauce. (RM9.50)
Next LP ordered their Old-Time Korean Student Lunch Box. I think she's misses the time her mom made of this for her. lol~! Anyway it consists of steamed rice with egg, sliced chicken sausage and tuna kimchi. Just like it said, a student lunch box. And they really served it in a traditional lunch box too. Sweet. (RM8.00)
CP had ordered their DDOCK BOK KI with Korean Pancake with Squid. Another plate of Ddock Bok Ki was really too much for me. As it's very filling. But the pancake was quite nice but lacks ingredients. A little bit more prawns and squid won't hurt, right? lol~! (RM11.00)As if he's not already full, CP had also ordered another meal which is their famous Tuna Kimchi Mixed Rice or they called it Bimbibap. It's also one of their local delicacy as the food is served in a stone bowl which kept the warmth of the rice. I don't really dig kimchi so I have no comment on this dish.

Overall, the food over was nice and new for me. But maybe I stick with Japanese or Taiwan dishes as I don't really fancy Kimchi that much. And Kimchi is their famous delicacy. Ironic~! (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)

Right 4 U - Damansara Jaya

I should have blog bout this place few months back but was too lazy to do so. Well anyway, here goes. The place I am referring about is called Right 4 U which is located at No.27, Jalan SS22/19, Damansara Jaya. They served a lot of nutrition food which they claimed can be categorized according to your blood group. Yup, so each menu had it's blood group written on it. But no worries if you're eating something which doesn't fall under yours. It's just fun to know I guess. So as usual, there will always be the Cabonara appearing in my food review as long as the place served them. The Cabonara over here is quite alright as you can choose between beef bacon or chicken. It's quite creamy and the beef bacon are quite tender too. But I still prefer Pizza Uno or Bruno's more.Next is the Seafood Mariana with Tomato Sauce. Well on first glance, it looked like mee goreng tomato at some mamak stall. Sorry if it's too harsh. But the taste was also quite plain normal for me. Nothing special here. This is the Grilled Chicken with Cheese Sauce which I ordered. Presentation wise, it's acceptable for me. But the chicken breast was a bit dry for me. The sauce was nice but it still wasn't able to save the whole meal. Wasted~!
This is the Tom Yam Fried Rice which we ordered as side dish. Yes, side dish as we're really that hungry. Normal fried rice with a lot of chilly leaves. Not bad but not for me as I prefer mine with a lot of belacan.

Overall the place do served some nice decent dishes and the price range are quite reasonable considering it's location and it's air condition. Good place for wasting time sipping some hot tea while reading some mags I guess. (Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0)
