Patong Beach - No Swimming please!

There were lots of these flags along the beach to warn people not to swim due to the strong current.
By the way, the warning flag actually stated "Dangerous Strong Current, No swimming here" I did not swam but was walking and taking photo with the red flag. Is this okay?

RPM with Izwan

My PT has restricted me to have only one cardio exercise per week. So i choose my RPM on every Thursday. Today, my ex-colleagues cemek has decided to join me on RPM.

Izwan was our instructor for RPM @ Fitness First Manulife. I registered for his class when the RPM registration just opened. Therefore, i gotten my regular bicycle which is facing Izwan. In short, he could see me and i could see him clearly especially adjusting the resistant.

Class started around 7:05pm... he announced that this was the last week to play the new release i.e. RPM 55. I wasn't sure others RPMer whether they have fed up with the track... But for me this is new as i was not able to attend any RPM class last week. 

Among the track... my favorite is track 2 with this song

I became center of attention as today i cycled energetic and fast... So, Izwan kept challenging me to put on more load aka increase the resistance... now i feel the soreness on my leg. 

But anyhow, it's a nice class with the humorous instructor.

Phi Phi Island Snorkeling + camwhoring

Last Saturday, as we were in Phuket, we signed up for the day trip to Phi Phi island... visited the Maya Beach... Phi Phi island etc.

The trip to Phi Phi Don and Ley took around 1hr 15 mins. Along the way there is nothing to view... all of the sudden when we about to reach, we could see a huge island with a very unique landscape. Unfortunately i don't have the picture of the scenery due to my camera has broken. Sad eh~ Anyway, My friend gotten all the nice shots :)

Thanks to my friend, i was able to camwhore in the water @ Phi Phi island...

TZ with snorkeling mask

Bubble + Butt = Bubble Butt... Agree?

Strong Current - Up and down like roller coaster

TZ swam like a fish and swam together with the fishes

Did you see any fish? How about the orange fish... Handsome or not?

Last but not least...

A two thumbs up for Medie007, took such a nice camwhore picture of me

That's all folks... Stay tune for more on Phuket Trip posts :p

On the broken camera ...

Things happened exactly like few years back when i was in Kijal Awana... heading to a nice beach area which could take lots of nice Sunset pictures... Kaboom~ it dropped and broke....

Day before...

I was wondering whether i should bring my usual lowpro camera bag with cushion or just a sling back and place into the big bag... My decision was the sling back. Another thought came to me that should i place a sweater at the bottom of the sling bag to serve as the cushion. At the end i skipped that thought... Sigh~

On the day...

My flight was 7:25am and was a bit sleepy as i left for the airport on 4:30am. Checked-in, bought a coffee and sat @ Starbie to chill out before walking into the departure hall. When i was approaching the security check and i brought out my small camera bag from the bigger bag... my hand slipped and the bag dropped on the floor. The lens was detached from the body because one of the plastic has destroyed. I was like kept saying "Shit Shit Shit"... Anyway, I could not do anything but taking the camera with me and lot it in the safe while i was in Phuket... Sad~

Now, i need to send my baby to Nikon for repair, hopefully they won't charge me a bomb...

Folks no nice pictures from me for my Phuket Trip... I was using my Galaxy Notes to take picture only.

Otherwise, please proceed...

My friend and I went for a short trip to Langkawi and managed to visit the Kilim GeoPark Langkawi. We gotten the chance to go into swampy area which lived by lots of different communities. Our boat took a pit stop @ one of the monkeys communities led by the king of monkeys, SunWuKong 孙悟空

SunWuKong 孙悟空

Ya right? as if we really met SunWuKong 孙悟空.  LOL...

Anyway, our tour guide has explained all about the monkeys and its communities

1. how the monkeys survive in the swampy area 
2. what is their food source 
3. ... blah blah blah...

Last but not least, he touched about the sexual topic on how sexually active are those monkeys and how the male search for sex from the female, how long the sex would last and so on.

Few minutes after his explanation... the monkey started to provide us a free live show. Hey, is that our luck to have the free show?

MarketPlace

When you travel to any of the country... if you looking for affordable food, where you usually will go?

I usually will go over to the MarketPlace... a local place where you could get local delicacy with reasonable price. I managed to snapshot some of the picture to share with you when i was visiting the MarketPlace @ Sukhothai, Thailand.

Mekong Delta : Rice Paper Making

August 2011, I took a 10 days trip to Vietnam largest city i.e. Ho Chih Ming City (HCMC). The whole trip was a free and easy... with half day walking tour of HCMC daily and spent the rest of the day sitting in the cafe and enjoy the coffee and its environment...

Anyway, I managed to sign myself up with a full day trip to the Mekong Delta, the important delta in Vietnam that produces most of its agricultural product. 

BTW, do you like the vietnamese spring rolls? This is how they make the rice paper for spring rolls...

I was glad to see how they made the rice paper, before the trip i don't even have any idea what ingredient made up the rice paper, I only tasted the Vietnamese Spring Rolls which is one of my favorite. Now we know eh~

Freeballing

Last Saturday, i went for my PT session and realized i forgot to bring an extra fresh underwear... Oops! Of cause, I was not gonna to wear the sweaty underwear after the gym. What choice did i have? Hmmm.... I don't have any choice...

So I decided to go freeballing... It was my first freeballing in the public. I felt so insecure and naked too. Moreover, the down under feel so cooling when I walked over from 1MK to Plaza Mont Kiara to get my lunch before heading back home. I was so conscious while crossing the road,  walking towards Subway to buy my lunch. Don't know how the surrounding people look at me... I don't know how to describe but it was not a good feeling indeed.

Anyway, anyone have done this before and mind to share?

Is METROBUS in Kuala Lumpur (KL) safe?

How safe is KL public transportation? I mean buses, taxis... Anyone?

I was nearly hit by the bus at the junction of Taman Rainbow and Jalan Ipoh...

How it happen?
I stopped and waited for the traffic light to turn green so that i could turn into Jalan Ipoh. It was June 17th 2012 around 3:10pm (Sunday afternoon), there was this reckless bus driver whom driving the METROBUS BJE6767. He DID NOT STOP even the traffic lights has turned red at his side more than one minutes. He accelerated and passed through the junction super fast . Luckily, i was a bit slow this evening to go out to the main road, otherwise i would be hit by the bus and high chances might not be able to write this post as the bus will hit my car side way on where i sat. My mom and i were shocked... It was a near missed.

Dear Minister of Transportation, before you encourage people go to work by bus, go out to the city by bus, please please and please make sure the drivers of the bus are not those reckless and ignorant on people safety...

I really disappointed on what happen to the situation in Malaysia... There are so many accident cases involved buses but i didn't see the Ministry of Transportation taking any serious action. I think we really need a drastic change to make this country a better place to live... what do you think?

bubble butt

There was one night as i was whatapps-ing with one of my lady friend. We were discussing on gym thingy. She has signed up 50 sessions with one of the PT in her gym. At that time, i was just planning to sign up my first 30 sessions. I was asking her opinion which part should i plan to improve with my  PT the moment i signed up the sessions. So, i told her my improvement plan

1. Get rid of the fat surrounding the waist
2. Tone up the whole body
3. Get a six packs abs
4. Get a nice cut arms
5. Get a firm and bubble butt

Guess what? my friend told me i don't need to work on item #5... she said my butt is nice already... luckily it's not a face to face conversation, otherwise i will definitely *blush blush* 

Anyway, i didn't know my butt attracts attention too... 

Hazy days @ Kuala Lumpur

Our yearly best friend Mr. Haze and his family comes to visit Kuala Lumpur. The whole KL is covered by Mr. Haze family for the past few days... And now it's getting worst. Not sure how many days more Mr. Haze will off from KL...

KL View with Mr. Haze and his family

Are you able to locate the lovely landmark of Kuala Lumpur aka the Petronas Twin Tower? Look at the picture below...

KL view on clear day

Folks please do take care yourself, drink more water and get more rest... Don't do too much of outdoor activities eh~ No Running please!

Mr. Haze and Family... please leave us and give us back the clearer day eh~

30 PT Session completed

Yesterday marked the completion of my 30 Personal Training (PT) session. Do i got the body as what i wanted? 

Picture adapted from http://www.dramainkorea.com

Unfortunately i still don't have the body like RAIN, the korean celebrity... whom almost everyone admire his nice and defined body... imagine TZ has this body... wow~ *Slap slap TZ*

I'm asking myself on how long more should i have to go on diet, extensive exercise with PT... In the first place, can i get there or not?... 

One of my friend teased me that i will NOT be able to get this body. He asked me to forget on working hard to achieve it... why? According to him, due to my age, it's not easy or impossible to get what RAIN has... Sad right?  

Anyway, i wanted to proof my friend wrong and started to work hard to reach my goal i.e. gain 6 pack @ the abs. I have renew another 30 PT session until end of this year. 

Do you think i could do it?

Oh my English

There was this short clip regarding how to speak proper English in TVIQ. Let's learn proper English...

 

Please do not CHOP the letter eh~

Can i borrow you to wash my car?

 
When people ask you follow the car... don't follow eh~

 
hahaha... i think better use Switch On your laptop if not the person turn on instead...:p

We need to be very careful when talking to the people from other countries especially we are working in the globalization environment now... so if you say please chop the letter for me... later people though you are going to have pork chop, chicken chop or lamb chop... LoL.

You're not a robot...

I bet all of you commenters should have familiar with this word "Please prove you're not a robot" then follow with a bunch of black color joined characters with a blur image with numbers to ask the commenters to verify.

Since the day before yesterday, my commenters have started complaining about the verification which they definitely are NOT robot... Moreover, sometime the word was not so obvious, so they need to try more than once to get the comment published.

Anyway, i have taken away the verification and hopefully the robot will NOT attack my lovely blog eh~. So, please come back to comment on my blog eh~

Two Pandas loan from China

The Stars newspaper published on June 11th 2012 7:11pm - "China to loan two pandas to Malaysia for 10 years". According to the news, it will bring good to Malaysia for 

• The Stars : To get better relationship between Malaysia and China in order to bring more China investor to Malaysia and boast our lovely country economic
• TZ : How much our lovely country needs to invest to host the pandas and what is the Return on Investment (ROI). Is this worth to invest?
• The Starts : To enable Malaysia to conduct conservation research on the giant panda
• TZ:  I don't see any benefit in Malaysia as we don't have pandas. If the lovely government stated to conduct conservation research on Malaya Sun Bear. Then i still see some benefit to the scientists and the nations. BTW, if they wanna study Panda, why can't the country send the selected scientists over to China, i bet the expenses will be way lower than hosting the two pandas.
• The Stars : Promote public awareness on Panda conservation undertaken by China.
• TZ : I don't see any benefit to Malaysia and its people. 
• The Stars : Encourage the public to appreciate and learn the importance of biodiversity and wildlife conservation of Malaysia.
• TZ : There are many more Wildlife in Malaysia needed funding to setup conservation.. Why not promoting helping these wildlife e.g. Malaya Sun Bear... how many of you know that the Malaya Sun bear actually originated from Malaysia/Borneo. I believe the Sun Bear conservation would also be able to encourage the public to appreciate and learn the importance of wildlife conservation of Malaysia. But very sad these wildlife conservation do not get as much funding as our lovely government plans to spend on the two pandas.

In this case, I'm really disappointed how our lovely government plan to use our hard earned money aka tax payer money to fund the unnecessary items which DO NOT BENEFIT the nation. There are lots more that we need funding but never gotten any... Sigh~ 

Great Place to Work (GPTW)

Are you working at the Great Place To Work listed company?

There is an organization called Great Place To Work Institute will have the survey yearly to see which company gotten the GPTW of the year... meaning number one in the world for Great Place to Work. 

Anyone wanna guess which company gotten the #1 Great Place To Work company in year 2011? Of cause not the 1Malaysia store Blek~ Anyway, not sure who will be the #1 Great Place To Work company for year 2012... you wanna make a guess?

Prometheus @ TGV Club Sunway Pyramid

Last Saturday night or should i say last Sunday... why? Cause the movie starts @ 12:30am.

Last Sunday early morning, I was watching the Prometheus with my friends @ TGV Club Sunway Pyramid. The movie ticket is RM25 per pax. Yup! it's expensive so i always have a thought that it's overrated and not value for money.

Anyway, the different between the TGV Club and the normal TGV cinema is 

1. No need to line up for tickets. 
2. No need to standing around the entrance waiting for the number to be light up. 
3. No need to line up for food and drinks. Just order and the food/drink will be served.
4. More room for leg and the seat is more comfortable. 
5. The price of cause is more expensive, it's double the normal TGV cinema.
6. No kiddos shouting "mama this, papa that"... I wondered how much is the ticket for kiddo.

When we arrived, the cinema was not ready... We were waiting at the designated lounge. It's so quiet. No wonder my friend told me after i tried it first time, i will like the TGV Club... It's true i love it already... 

TGV Club lounge

Okay enough of TGV Club... back to the Prometheus... I don't really enjoy the movie as i don't really like those movie with disgusting and darker scenes like the previous movie Aliens#1,2,3... so on. So the Prometheus is about the same scene as Aliens. I don't want to be a spoiler, i know a lot of you might not have watched this movie...

I got mixed comments on this movie from friends before and after i watched, so not sure whether it's recommended or not. Anyhow, this is just not my cup of tea... the only thing i enjoyed is the graphic... not to mention the nice TGV Club environment :p

Google Earth go 3D on Mobile

Guess what?

Google Earth go 3D on Mobile... Have you install the apps in your phone? 

Unfortunately the Google Earth mobile apps is not available in Malaysia... Why? why?

Euro 2012

Recently i just switched to a team that working closely with the European. My boss reside in UK and my program manager reside in Ireland. I have switched from IT Senior Project Manager to Business Senior Project Manager. Hurray!

It has been 1 week I have been working with the European... guess what? They are looking forward on the Euro cup 2012 which has kicked off by now.

I need to follow closely on the Euro Cup 2012 as this will be the hot topic to talk about before meetings... 

Anyone of you is the follower of the Euro Cup 2012?

Male on the left, female on the right please!

Male and female separation

I went for London, the Summer Musical last Sunday. In order to go into the Amphitheater, we need to take a train from this train station. On the entry to the station, there were two sign with MALE and FEMALE.

Yup~ Male please proceed to the left and Female please proceed to the right. Of course i went over to the left and stood there.

Staff : Sir, you can stand over there *pointed to the other side (i.e. Female side).
Me: Hmmm... The side is for female, right?
Staff: *look at me with a blur look... huh? Don't worry you can stand there...
Me: Did you see the sign on the pillar... Male is on this side and Female on the other side.
Staff: Sir, the sign is for toilet on the side...
Me: hehehe... I know... just wanna to pull your leg. LoL....
Staff: *laugh...

Sumsung Galaxy S3

Few years back, people lined up for phone starts with "i"... today people line up for "s"... what next? Maybe they line up for phone start with "tz"... muhahaha...

My friend gotten the Galaxy S3 on last Sunday and he straightaway signed 2 years contract with Maxis... Wow~ Now the market shifting towards Samsung. I bought my Samsung Galaxy Notes last February and i'm happy with it... guess what? It's very common nowadays...

The latest Galaxy S3

Last Monday, i went out with this friend of mine and we popped into the latest TGIF outlet in Paradigm. Understand from the bartender, the outlet in Paradigm is the smallest outlet... but this is very cozy though. We have a quick chat and the bartender offered to make us his signature drinks aka Green Dinosaur. 

Later, the other to be bartender helped to take this pictures with my friend's latest Galaxy S3... 

Having the bartender signature drink - Green Dinosour

You must be wondering why the picture was not sharp but a bit blur... The blur picture was NOT because of the Sumsung Galaxy S3 feature, this was because the new Galaxy S3 was covered with a piece of plastic, and there was another layer on the camera. So the picture looked so blur... sigh~

Anyway, after seeing the first hand of the Sumsung Galaxy S3... I think this phone is a good buy compare to iPhone 4s. What do you think?

On attending Wedding @ Dengkil

Bahija and I were having an invitation to one of our mutual friends or i should say a x-colleagues of us wedding in Dengkil last Sunday. It was a wedding held in the groom's parents house.

I picked up Bahija and headed to Dengkil via MEX highway. We arrived Dengkil around 1:30pm... But we only arrived at the wedding venue @ 2:30pm. Not that Dengkil is very big... Why? we were lost, yup lost in the small town. The address stated Jalan Air Hitam bt2, desa timah langat. So we googled on the ultimate GOOGLE MAP... the result returned 4 Jalan Air Hitam at different part of the town. So we went through each of the Jalan Air Hitam found in the map. No Luck!

At the end, we used the oldest way to find direction i.e. asking around and we gotten the direction. So one key learning, better asking and trust the locals rather than our friendly GOOGLE MAP :p In fact, our GOOGLE MAP was not that friendly in Kampungs (aka villages).

Finally we found the place and the moment we walked in, the groom i.e. Hairul, our x-colleagues saw us and waved at us. what a relieved... Luckily the food was nice, the decoration was very impressive as it was done by the groom himself. Talented guy eh~ ;-)

the wedding luncheon

Unfortunately the weather was too hot to enjoy the luncheon. I was sweating and sweating and sweating... As a result, Bahija and I decided to make a move, too hot to stay long.

We quickly took a few shots with the bride and the groom... left the place @ 3:15pm.

Road Tax sticker - Quality Degraded...

Have you ever faced this issue?

The road tax sticker sticked on the windshield and refused to be off after one year... I really got pissed when need to tear this bit by bit. I spent 1/2 hours to peel the sticker out from the windshield, unfortunately could not peel off all those sticky sticker, i have no choice to leave some unpeel sticker on the windshield and stick the new one on top...

I'm still remember the first year when they introduced this sticker... the following year was so easy to peel off but now year over year... It's getting tougher and tougher to peel out the old road tax. Now i understand why some people just stick besides the old road tax. Difficult to take out...

I'm not sure how do you feel about the Road Tax sticker quality... but for me, I feel the quality has degraded year over year. Why? maybe the cost has gone up and our lovely Transportation Ministry is paying peanut to the manufacturer. As a result, the manufacturer has no choice but to cut cost and provide the 2nd or 3rd grade quality sticker instead... Is this the real situation?

Anyway, will see what would happen for the current new road tax... Am i having the same problem or worst next year? Let's monitor for another year :p

Anyway, do you face this issue?

London the Summer Musical @ Amphitheater, Sunway Lagoon

Most of you must have heard about the London the Summer Musical is in town. The Gala Premier was on June 1st 2012. I bet some of the bloggers have already went for the event before me and blog about this .

I was lucky to have two free ticket on yesterday night (June 3rd 2012 - Sunday) at the RED zone. So i don't have any idea where is RED zone even though i went to the Magical Musical last year. 

London The Summer Musical Tickets

Me: *pointing at the cross @ box on RED* Not sure where is the RED zone...

Mom: I have no idea too.

Me: Anyway, let's see.

When we arrived in the event venue, i showed the two tickets to the registration counter and they help us to wear a strap on our wrist, directed us to the Lighthouse cafe for some light refreshment.

Lighthouse Cafe

After the light refreshment and cool aircon, we proceed over to the train station and wait for the train to bring us over to the Amphitheater. we found a seat (guess what? i found out that RED zone costs RM100 per pax) and patiently waiting the show to get started in a super hot environment...

London The Summer Musical Stage

Since it's prohibited for people to take video and picture during the show, i only managed to take the empty stage with the few nice lighting... I saw some of the people taking the video clip with their camera and got warned by the staff to switch them off... shame on them who NOT following the rules.

Empty Stage

Anyway, it was a nice show (refer to the preview clip from visionKL)... compares to the Magical Musical last year. The Magical Musical was better story line than this one. Anyway, both have their own different style of entertaining the audiences.

ps: thanks Bahija for giving the two free tickets :)

Starbucks @ Paradigm Mall

After dinner with my aunty and uncles, my mom will go to the popular bookstore with my aunty, uncle and cousin and i will just buy a drink and sit @ Starbie. Instead of putting up myself in Ikano, tonight it's a bit different as i'm @ Paradigm Mall now. The latest mall in Kelana Jaya area. It was a very small mall pack with some many people. I think Malaysian or KL people just like malls... Whenever there is a mall opening... the crowd will be there.

Starbie @ Paradigm Mall

The Starbie over in Paradigm was the worst Starbie that i been to... so damn noisy, I could hardly hear the music and all i could heard is those noises from the mall. why? Because the Starbie over Paradigm Mall is an open concept and the sound absorber for the mall is very very bad. As a result it magnifying children's screams, people talks... etc.

Open concept Starbie

It definitely was not a prefer choice for a quiet Saturday... in fact this was a bad idea to do it as the open concept in such a mall...  

One big disadvantages of the open concept is there are cheapo people just sit down without buying any drinks from the counter and consume the bandwidth until those people like me paying do not get the expected bandwidth... Sigh~ 

the cheapo person

Can't the starbie stuff do something?

Mickey Mouse Fair : Who fault if accident happened?

Continue with the M.I.C.K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E post... 

The parent was as excited as the children and they were cam whoring their children... they were too excited and forgo all the safety of the children. They don't care about the organizer arrangement of the exhibited Mickey Mouse Statues... The brought their children and crossed over the barrier set by the organizer. So now the question is... 

WHAT IF THE MICKEY MOUSE STATUE SUDDENLY COLLAPSE ON THE CHILDREN. WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE or WHOSE FAULT?

Obviously, the parent will push the responsibility to the organizer, blaming them did not setup in a safely manner... but first of all did the parent look at what they have done i.e. carried their children onto the platform where the Mickey Mouse Statue stands and cam whoring all the way... 

Did you see a boy standing on the platform as the mickey mouse statue?
The boy actually cannot climb up to the platform without the parents help... 

Here are another one more from the top view, we could clearly see the irresponsible parent and a responsible parents... the responsible parent only allow their children stand in front of the barrier for cam whoring... let's look at the lady with the two children on the platform... 

Did you see a lady and two children whom cross the barrier and
the children were sitting under the statues...
Do you notice how dangerous this mom has performed?

So, now whose fault if accident did happened? The neglected parents or the organizers?
