Level Up Fitness

Finally a proper fitness centre that i have been dreaming about has started at my hometown here in Kuching.

Went for the preview last Sunday for some photo shoot as well.

Just as i expect Proper environment (clean, tidy, air-conditioned, elegance, young...)

Proper equipment are all line up properly on 2 floor with the weight machines n free weight area at ground floor and cardio machines at 1st floor *i missplace my photo for the weight machines... huhu* They provide proper locker for storage and towel can be collected upon entry. Shower facility are also attached to the bathroom.

Most importantly GroupX ! They'r the first fitness centre to offer LesMills Programme in Kuching. But i do hope they bring in more programme from what they have now is only BodyCombat and BodyPump*1 of my fav*



They do also have Pilates classes, aerobic classes, Step-classes(using step-board), belly dancing and Yoga. Best part is u can access to all of these classes F.O.C. if you're their member of Level Up!

All classes will be held at this decent studio



Oh for all Kuching Kia who had been waiting for such fitness centre to emerge do check it out within this 2 days to get their promotion of RM99/month (promotion ends 31st Oct)

Newer Bold's out?!

Just came across this when i was googling around.. ANOTHER BOLD is on its way??? you gotta be kidding me!!! Immediately i youtube for some 1st hand review on the rumor Bold 9700 and it is true! its basically a diet version of Bold 9000 and its so much sleek n elegance!  same as Curve 8530! Most feature on 9700 are refined version of 9000.. mama-meeyaa it also features optical TRACKPAD! 3.3mp Auto-focus camera and more flash memory compared to 9000, and it has much longer battery life!

Although after 2 weeks of using my Bold 9000 with a few unsatisfactory comparison with my E 71 but this Bold 9700 surely catches my attention! 

I wonder the latest firmware overcomes my complaint about the user-friendliness of what i'm using right now  (V4.6) ability to:

• sort sms by name/date file in different folders
• Read pdf files stored on flash memory card

Velocity NEW GAMES!

I'm sure most people have heard of Velocity Indoor Go-Kart and probably had driven some laps there.

Previously i was so tempted to go for a race when Velocity commence their business for few month but didn't make it cuz there aren't enough kaki to tag along...

When i finally found enough kaki.. the number of their drivable Kart  decreased top only 1 or 2... such a tragic for me...

So i waited and it didn't let me down! some weeks ago i heard that there are actually new Karts flown in from France and there are all together more than 6 of em ready to tear the circuit!

According to Calvin these highpowered 6.5HP Honda engines can actually push the kart to near 90km/h on open road!

Of course it's being tuned down to suit the track but hey! it still feels beefy in terms of acceleration compared to the kart that i played in Genting some years ago..

Apart from new Kart new track have been redesign to fullfill the hunger of these little runner

So we've tested the new track and Kart and guess what! i'm 4 sec faster than my previous run along with my bro on the same track! I bet Calvin has done something to the Karts... But whatever you've done WELL DONE!

Here comes the best part.. Many people thought that Karting itself is quite expensive when they 1st open, so New packages n daily promotion are being made up in respond to customers feedback.

Not only that, you'll notice these Black "box-like" barrier or partition or whatever it is on the left side where broken kart use to be stored..

When you walk into the maze of boxes, you'll notice there are a roll of buckets filled with water...

My 1st impression is that are there any animal around to be fed with all these water or is there creatures in these waters...



Guess wud.....

Its the ALL NEW WATER TAG!!!

It might look wierd wearing rain coats indoor but trust me.. When you're sweating after the Kart or even straight from hot sunny day.. this game's a heavenly fun.

Cost for the Game: RM6/session (How cool is that?!) Finally Something that you can play without burning a hole in your pocket!

I'd say i wud definately go back for more especially for the Kart!

Censorship Again?

Okay so i was listening to radio station on my way to work as usual and it was playing my Fav song by BEP - I Gotta Feelin. Guess what? they censored the word "Mozoltov"
The question is what harm can a word do to this society?? I mean cummon how long can u keep these Mr censor??? Wake up!! try search the lyrics online n EVERYTHING's there! Right in ur face! 

I notice that censorship in art content (songs, movies etc) aren't really doing good for the country *at least for my own opinion* Instead of keep on censoring "Stuff that YOU deem not good for your citizen" Why not EDUCATE or even PROMOTE what's GOOD for them?! Where's your GOV promotion budget on Health or Education goes to? USE IT!!

WAKE UP!! STOP Pulling out UNNECESSARY CENSORSHIP in the expense of OUR RIGHT!!! ARGH!

My 3 month n 8 day Baby--->E71

It has been 2,352hours since i first got myself this sexy little baby. Thee Shiny compact yet powerful Nokia E-71 *drum rolls...*

Since I've got luck weeks ago and own another BlackBerry Bold 9000, I've decided to do my own little review on the Nokia E71 before my 1st take on BB Bold. Nothing technical~ these are all my feeling and thoughts while using this nice piece of tech here. Oh and also i'm not associate neither sponsored to write these, its just me, and only me. So don held me responsible for any legal stuff

A brief intro on how i use my E71... So here goes

• Environment : 50% of the time in the field of construction site and 50% off site (ie. office, home, off work hour YAEHUU!!
  
• Function that i use on da phone: Call, sms, mms, web surfing(w/ wifi as well as EDGE connectivity using Opera-mini Browser as well as default browser), calender, To-Do-List, notes, camera, QuickOffice (more on spreadsheet and doc) GPS(Garmin Mobile XT), Music player *while driving*... hmm pretty much everything except for the Video conference i think..
  
• Storage n protection: when carrying around i use Locally purchased * believed to be manufactured in china's* fake leather vertical flip pouch(with the magnets removed by itself... -_-") slide in my pocket most of the time. Oh and i also use basic screen protector.

 OK lets start with the Body n build of the E71

Overall i just love~ the quality stainless steel wrapped all around *almost 90% of the body*  it gives a very steady, classy or should i say "worthy" kind of feel for the price i pay. No sign of wobbly or loose feel on key board and also Battery cover. The weight and the size feels juuust nice in my palm. Key-punch feels steady
HOWEVER~ The semi-doted back of the battery cover collects finger print easily, especially i have sweaty palm. But its no big deal, cuz simply wipe the stainless steel cover on my shirt leaving stainless steel cover with no scratch mark but clean as new. Another dislike is the size of the key... Its a bit small but then little time is what you need to get use to it and of course for me i think its a safety feature! Why? cuz u can hardly make calls or sms while driving (Isn't it a nice feature??)

OK moving on to the Software part

Ability to multitask is 1 of the coolest function i like about this phone, i tried checking air ticket,  viewing my own calender and also SMS at the same time (the shortcut key are especially useful) Viewing web page that's not optimized for mobile browsing will require a fare bit of navigation through the D-pad, the problem here is that D-pad operates up, down, left and right, so the movement's a bit like the preloaded game SNAKE, how does this affects browsing or rather navigation? when u want to click on hyperlink within the page you'll need a few more clicks compare to touch pad, joystick or even trackball *You know what i mean rite?* Another thing is that not all java page loads on default browser and also Opera... i wonder am i missing some plug-in??

Quickoffice comes with free upgrade to version 6 which is for sure a good thing. I use spreadsheets a lot for keying in data from pre-format sheets. The only thing i wish is its had bigger screen.. formulas works fine n so do other basic function but not for macros.

As for word, well body of the document appears to be exactly what u see on your computer screen but without the header and footer.. again there might be some option that can view the "full" doc but so far i havent found it.

 Final verdict, If only they could put a better set of camera lenses and spice up the browser and also beef up the music player it'll be perfect for me.

Coffee chat @ starbucks with Ambassador of Bosnia

I was telling my mom his afternoon in a chat that i was going to meet up representative of Bosnia tonight *just now* and my mom thought that i was fooling around and so did my bro... Their impression is that only if I'm "IN" the "social level" THEN only i can meet up with Main man like them. But guess what?! I just had coffee chat session sitting right beside Mr Ensar, Ambassador from the Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Thanks to Diong, Sales Manager from BCCK, and Mr Nordin from Glenreagh for the arrangement and also FREE COFFEE!! (that's y i'm still staying up instead of floating in my dreamland now) *and also ah rose and my dear for the premium opportunity*

So who says only premium only can meet up representative of a country? ambassador are also human. One thing that Mr Ensar said which i think its very true is that being an ambassador ALSO have to get close with the public of the country, cuz that's what really shape the country! That's so true right?!

Before the chat, only statistics online which might be actual but after the session i got the factual situation happening in Bosnia. Mr Ensar brief us about the political, educational, economical, we name it he'll answer it... and you know what? Best part is that i know that the Bosnian Pyramid does exist and its really a man made structure with proper ventilation even deep in the tunnel. All these while the Pyramid is there but yet to be discovered until the "Indiana Johns" discovered them. (See~ apart from politics, social economics, they tell us interesting stuff too!)


The reason why we can have Mr Ensar here is that tomorrow today there will be a Press release at BCCK for the MALAYSIA GLOBAL BUSINESS FORUM that will be held from 8th Nov 09 till 11th Nov 09. So Stay tuned on all major media for tomorrow's release! [Bosnian companies are looking to penetrate into Malaysia and to establish business relation and partnership]
