Day off - clearing the outstanding

I took a day off to settle my personal matter ... boss i'm not going for interview unfortunately... :-> Anyway, just to settle all the outstanding items before i leave for Penang this Weekend.

Although it is my off day today but i was still required to attend meeting from home. I woke up about 7am in the morning and dial into the conference with all the Virtual sites from around the world. What a day. I thot US is off for July 4th 2007 and it should be an independent day from a meeting day. But it was not the case :-( so, my meeting ended around 9am and i took a nap until 11 something and took a shower. Then my gym buddy Musa text me for lunch today. i drove to Citibank and met him there, we went for Chi-Ku-Teh... it was nice and it's nicer than the Bak-Kut-Teh (BKT) @ New Zealand near Evergreen hotel Penang. The BKT in Penang suck and does not taste like BKT... just wondered how it got the famous BKT in Penang... :-o Penangite, can u update me of the latest nice BKT place in Penang... I'm going to Penang this weekend :->

Anyway, after lunch i went back home and grab my gym beg and headed to The curve to meet my insurance agent. We chat in Starbuck roughly about an hour+. i headed to FF-The Curve for my workout. Guess whose class i attended today? I attended two classes i.e. BodyCombat and RPM.

Jason was the instructor for BodyCombat and he is good in motivating his participants to workout hard in the class. He shouted and shouted together with all the participants; jumpped and fight. Unfortunately this is my 2nd class of BodyCombat... I still don't feel comfortable to jump too much. Anyway, it was a great workout with Jason, now i understand why Jason class is full usually. I sweat a lot and not to mention i wore white today (wrong choice)... so you could imagine how naked i felt after i sweat in my white sleeveless shirt... :-p

It get even wet after the RPM, my whole shirt like soaked with water. i still workout my chest and back at the free motion machine for about 1/2 hour and started cooling down for a while then hit the shower. i was so hungry. BTW, there was an event in Laundry tonite and i checked out with the waiter. According to the waiter. The bar is going to have the Fly FM event... unfortunately it will only start on 10pm. Otherwise i will just hang out for a while and get a sip of my favor drink before heading home for dinner ... :-) anyone could get a guess what is my favor drink?

That's my day! Mission accomplished as i complete all the planned items... that's my profession you know! Project Manager :-p


This is not the recording of the class that i attended, i got it fr YouTube.

It was delicious and i was so food after the dinner. Walk around to do some windows shopping and managed to buy a workout sleeveless shirt from Adidas. Guess what my colleague bought... 2 pair of Timberland shoes cost about RM680... Dear colleague (which i would not wanna to mention his name) thanks for contributing to the KL economics... hehehe...

TZ's normal Monday with a little excitement

I woke up @ 6am... rushing through to get myself ready to pick my colleague from Penang whom waiting for me @ Park Royal Hotel. I told him to wait for me @ the road side in front of PRH since i would need to go straight to hit the tunnel. Wow! is my reaction as it only took 40mins from PRH to Cyberjaya. What a nice drive. Thanks to the SMART tunnel. I paid RM2.00 to avoid all the traffic lights and cars from PRH to the Seremban Highway. Otherwise, it should take us about 1 hr + to reach Cyberjaya.

Anyway, we had breakfast before going into the office. I had a full day F2F meeting as my boss has organized a working session to do some strategic planning. We shared the DISC profile and Strength Finder in the 1st part of the meeting. Then proceed with more discussion and at the end of the day, we have setup the next step and high level plan... :-> What a tiring day in concentrate in the meeting and contributed ideas for the whole organization. I'm glad that i was invited to the meeting.

I fetched my colleague back to KL again after work. We left our office @ about 6pm and hit the Seremban highway about 6:15pm... the traffic was slow moving but we managed to get into Hard Rock Cafe @ 7:30pm... Not many people dining in HRC. We managed to get a good table with my ALL ACCESS CARD issued by HRC. This card will get me 10% discount on bevarage, food and mechandize. We managed to get the Happy Hour special rate for our drinks ... we ordered 1 long island tea which get another free. So it just nice for 2 of us. Then my colleague order a HRC legend burger and i order a grilled sirloin. Both of us end our dessert with HRC fudge ice-cream... YUMMY!...

BTW, the contestants have been divided into 2 teams. And these 2 teams will given a same project every episode. The team that perform closely with archieving the goal / objective will have no members being eliminated from the team. The team that lost, one member will have to be terminated from the team. So far, after the 2nd episode, one team member from each team has been terminated. So it is getting more and more excited as who will win the game.

Kuala Lumpur @ Nite

I chosen night @ Kuala Lumpur is that this view is where i see it every night from my balcony. Yes! I could see the whole KL view from my balcony as i stay in 23rd floor. I took this photo few months back with my SLR camera - bird view and it was a clear night. But unfortunately tonite, the KL view is not as great as few nights before. It looks a little hazy out there.

Guess what? I'm sitting @ my balcony rite now updating this blog. Just wanna to get some idea from the beautiful night scenary of KL. Finally, i decided to use the night scenary for my blog title backdrop.

Anyway, gotta to hit the bed now. Good night Kuala Lumpur, good night my fellow Malaysian, sleep tight eh!...
