BODYCOMBAT® 31 Launch

Last night was the beginning of the 3-day Les Mills launch in Fitness First. IOI Mall was given the opportunity to launch RPMtm 34 and BODYCOMBAT® 31.


Here's the attire for BODYCOMBAT®:

Swee and I launched together for the first time. It's one of the rare occasions that I didn't dwarf my partner on stage. I stood out when I launched with Crystal, Renee, Terence and Calvin.... for the wrong reasons.

I have to say that BODYCOMBAT® keeps getting tougher by the release. I had some difficulty coaching track 4 - no wonder Dan Cohen only said, "Freeze.... Fire! Freeze.... Fire!" Could hardly say anything when executing the evasive side kick-jump kick combo.

Swee & I both made a couple of errors but it was a hot class - FULL HOUSE with 60 members sweating it out.

Tonight there's one more at my old club Damansara Uptown & tomorrow Wisma SPK. I'm done with the BODYCOMBAT® launch and tomorrow I will be launching BODYPUMP® 61 instead with Jackson at Cheras Leisure Mall.

I can sing

OK, something I should've blogged long time ago but kept forgetting. Since gf just blogged it, I might as well just tumpang the blog.



Did some recording for a church member back in Nov 2006 and the album is out already. Don't believe me? Read this.

This is a personal blog

Hi all,

In view of a few comments left in the previous posting, I think I need to clarify a few things here.

This is, above all, a personal blog that I (try) to keep to date. Should you have any comments/ideas for IOI Mall, please use the Fitness First website. Alternatively, you can also use the blue "HEY MANAGER" paper available at the IOI front desk to let us know what you think about our classes in IOI Mall.

Sorry that I can't answer your queries here...

Busy-lah...

Just got transferred from Damansara Uptown to IOI Mall. With a bigger baby to take care of, time to blog is significantly affected again for now....

Ultraman love story

Found this nice video on YouTube. It's about 10 mins long but I it's kinda cute.... best if you understand Japanese :)

Year end in Penang

OK, this is basi stuff but still have to blog....

Gf & I balik kampung for Christmas so here are a couple of pictures taken while we were there...

The famous Air Itam laksa

Seriously, I think this stall is over rated. Granted, they do sell good laksa but I think there are plenty of good laksa stalls to be found in Penang. The one at Lorong Selamat(situated opposite the infamous most expensive char koay teow) is quite good as well.

Bak Kua stall

I sort of grew up with roti bak kua in Penang. They used to be found right outside the cinemas and I loved them! But with modernization, the cinamas are now replaced with cineplexes and I was quite thrilled to find this stall in Goh Teow Lor.

How can one go to Penang without going for Cendol? I think I had 4-5 times of cendol during my 10-day stay there....

This is also good laksa at Penang Road...

Guest appearance

BarneyBernard & Shanti decided to drop by Penang also - must be her birthday present.. Took them around for food....

The hightlight of the holidays was the BBQ at Danny's place. Willie was also back for the holidays.

As you can probably tell, most of my time in Penang was spent on eating. Really need to eat to put back the weight I've lost over the past 8-9 months since I came onboard as GXC. Also met up with old budies like Mike, Lesley, Xe Hui, Jenc, etc.

Instead of 15-16 classes a week, I only did 3 classes in Penang.... So you can imagine how my fitness dropped when I return to work on 2 jan. Anyhow, the good thing about teaching in Fitness First Island Plaza is I realise I'm quite famous- After my BODYATTACK class, 2 members came up to me and told me that they read my blog... And they say a prophet gets no honour in his home country, some thing like dat...

One good deed deserves another?

Last Monday Riyo, Jeremy & I finally went to the Thalassaemia Association Of Malaysian to hand the money collected on 23 Dec 2006. As you recall, the three clubs- Damansara Uptown, Menara Summit, The Curve- ran special classes to raise fund for them and we managed to raise around RM2.5k.

We were supposed to go on Friday 5 Jan but Zanel had some things to attend to so he asked us to come on Monday 8 Jan instead. In a way, it was a good change of dat- otherwise, both Jeremy & Riyo couldn't make it. After all, we all know how busy GXCs are with our respective reponsibilities.

We met at Menara Summit at about 10.30am, since both Jeremy & I have teach there on Mondays. Riyo came and we all went in my car since I was the only one who know where the place was.

After ALMOST getting lost, we reached the place and Zanel was there to accept the donation.

Jeremy, Riyo & Zanel(holding the donation)

Riyo, Zanel, me

We didn't linger long there, though I now wish we did. We wanted to have lunch after that, so I drove my car out of the parking lot. As I was trying to get out, the Unser in front of me decided to get out of his lot too and reversed into my car. I could see him coming and I honked long before he hit me but somehow, he didn't hear it.


Anyhow, it was a nice chap who was reponsible enough to pay me for the damages, but *sigh*....
