Weekend getaway ... :->

Just finished my work and hurray! Mission accomplish! We had came to agree with a good plan + a good decision on the new program/project. Unfortunately, during these few days meeting, i got lots of AR (Action Required) to follow up. This is a norm for my company on this kind of meeting. Anyway, better than nothing to follow ... :-p I will be busy on the next two weeks as i need to close all my AR before my vacation... yahoo! the vacation is approaching :-) What vacation? My Sabah trip ...

Anyway, there still 2 weeks to blog about my Sabah plan. btw, I will be going out of the city this weekend for a short getaway to my dad's hometown @ Kuala Kangsar, a small town in the state of Perak which is north of Kuala Lumpur. My parents and i will be going to visit my grand parents and great grand parents grave as what we Chinese did once a year. So it is the Ching Ming Festival in Chinese Society. This is the time that we commemorate our ancestor by paying a visit to their grave to pray and pay respect to them. I had recharged my camera battery to take some snapshot to share with all of you on what and how the Ching Ming Festival looks like. Stay tune eh!

My dad will be doing the driving this afternoon. My job is to get a nice sleep during the trip as i had worked througout the nite. Dad thanks for taking up the driving as it is not safe for me to drive :->

Yup! I have a backlog which i promise to blog on my Malacca weekend with my two colleagues and my gym buddy. Sorry for the delay, i was having an extremely busy week. I will see whether i could get the connection to the Internet in Kuala Kangsar to blog about Malacca trip. Otherwise it will be next week then :-D

A Normal day ...

Mother nature has poured lots of water to the city of Kuala Lumpur. Fortunately no flood was reported. I woke up at about 16:00 after working in US timezone. Extremely tired and not feeling well. So i decided to hit the gym to release some stress of my muscle... hehehe...

Since i have not attended any BODYPUMP this week. Decided to attend the bodypump class @ Fitness First - Maxis. Michelle was the instructor for the class today. She is very patient and she ensured her student have a correct post as her student would not hurt themselves. Way to go Michelle... :-> As usual i sweat like crazy in BodyPump class. I feel good after the class especially my back and shoulder. I got a tough time when doing the abs as my abs has not recovered from my workout yesterday and the day before ... :->

BodyPump
Initially, i just wanna to attend the bodypump class and left the gym early. I saw the traffic jam outside and decided to stay on for another class ... hehehe... so i hit the RPM class and Michelle was the instructor again... oh no, same instructor as bodypump ... :-( Anyway, i just wanna to kill my time to avoid the traffic jam ... so what the hack. Another room is having Bodycombat but the instructor was not there when the RPM started... i decided to stick with RPM then...

I about to leave the gym after my shower, i bump into Musa my gym buddy whom attend the BodyCombat. He brought a visitor to attend the BodyCombat class. Mike, a Korean guy whom interested to join the gym. Musa introduced me to Michael and we have some chat ...

The only guy in the class ...

As usual, I went to Gym this evening. I managed to attend 3 classes (Body Balance; Body Attack and RPM) tonite. I'm satisfied and a little tired... :->

I arrived Fitness First Maxis about 5:30pm. I quickly got myself changed and straight to the class. The instructor Cynthia shown me the new release moves as this was my first time to the new release ... The new Body Balance is tougher than the previous release but still manageable... :-> Surprisingly, doing this release i was sweating throughout the class.

After the Body Balance, i straight away hit the Body Attack class. Jackson is the instructor for today's Body Attack. He is full of energy and he motivated us throughout the class. A recommended class to attend. Guess what? I'm the only guy in the class with about more than 20's lady in the class. What a lucky day *Wink*. The class has a mix of regular and new comer. It was a enjoyable class as the energy of working out is so high that we were jumping up and down, side to side as what the Body Attack class is designed. Not to mention, i was soaking with sweat and felt good after the class.

RPM is my last attempt. I just wanna to challenge myself after the Body Attack. Decided to hit the RPM to see whether i would be able to finish the whole class. Surprise! I managed to finish the whole class without any pain in my leg.

Thanks to my Vince Carter Basketball Nike Shoe which i don't feel any pressure during the Body Attack class and be able to perform up to expectation during the RPM. So, wear your basketball shoe for Body Attack, you will not regret ... :->

Zzzz....Zzzzz....

I have another hour of meeting and i could hit the bed ... :-> It is strange to work in US timezone as i missed all the fun going out lunch with my collague. I'm dreaming while they are going out for lunch ... hehehe....

Anyway, I didn't doze off during the meeting, i still chip in my idea and discussion ... way to go TZ... :-> Energy is low rite now. Going to bed shortly... Good nite everyone.

Good Morning Arizona ... :->

I just logged in to the network and started my day / nite... i'm a bit confuse... (FYI, it is 11:31pm Malaysia time). To all my Malaysian collague & Friends... sweet dream eh! Wakie wakie, Arizona ... I will be having a conference call from 1000-1700 (AZ) 0100-0800(Msia). I hope i would not doze off during the meeting... :-> otherwise, they will hear some ZZZZZ sound.

Anyway, since i'm not working in the daytime. I picked up my new Credit Card from the bank, and paid my telephone and broadband bill and settle my lunch in a Vietnamese Restaurant called DuViet @ Bangsar Village. The service is very good and the environment is nice too. I had the Vietnamese Beef Noodles as usual in the Vietnamese restaurant. Everytime i have Vietnamese Beef noodles, i recalled the noodles that i had in Saigon @ Chandler Arizona. No Vietnamese Beef noodles that i tasted in Malaysia is as good as the one in Chandler. Boss i need a trip to satisfy my crave for Beef Noodle @ Chandler ... hehehe... :-p

I went to Fitness First @ Maxis late evening. Attended NOR intermediate class as planned. I skipped the BodyCombat as there were too many people. But my gym buddy Musa went on with the bodycombat class. Musa, did you get your butt kicked? You know, bodycombat is all about kicking and punching. With the crowd, it is impossible to kick like a macho man.. unless you are careless and kick others butt... :-p

I switched my workout to RPM Challenge. Ben had the class and he is very experience, guess what i used to go for his class everyday in different outlet when i first started RPM. I like his class because he kind of giving lots of option for the beginner and the advance. So you could choose your own options... :->

I ended my workout with NOR's basic step class. This is not a difficult class but gurantee sweating... :-) My sweat is dripping even after the class... I sweat until all my clothing included undies totally wet ... i don't know how to describe the experience and feeling. If you are the Fitness First members ... I would urge you to join the class and experience yourself (Basic Step by NOR : Tues 8-9pm Fitness First Maxis)

Oops, gotta stop blogging rite now... hey TZ you are working ... :-p

In Transit ...

No work until 11pm tonite. Basically, I have the whole day to handle my banking, going to the gym, shopping.... hehehe... :-p

I think my bio clock is transitioning to US timezone. I felt tired even i had a nice sleep. Will need to go to the bank, settle some bill before hit the bed again @ noon (Malaysia time).

Guess what? today i'm able to attend the Intermediate Step Class teach by Nor @ Fitness First, Maxis 17:45... yahoo! :-> I think two classes for me is just nice for today work out. I would need to reserve some energy for my work later.

Leaving for US without flying...

I will be working with US folks without flying to US. Guess how i could do that? :->
Thanks to the technology provided by my company and the so called flexi hour. I will be switching Malaysia work schedule to work on US timezone. It is fun but also taxing... hehehe...

Anyway, my manager just assigned me to the new role and i'm waiting for a person to take over and transition from me on my current job... solving problem on an application. Let me tell you about my new role, i will be the person of contact and seeking / learning the customers factory business process especially operation process. Then i would need to recommend some capability solution to the customers and driving some program to achieve the most optimum factory. Sound challenging eh!... In fact it is a challenging job but that's what i like and wanted so much :-)

I will be working four days this week... in another words it is good but i need to work at least 10 hours a day to make up my Friday.

Gotta to rite now. Going to attend the toastmaster adhoc ugent meeting. Not sure what president will announce, anyway does not sounds good... :-p
