Level Up Fitness Preview

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Level Up Fitness Preview

I’m having a long semester break this time. I thought my class will start on Sunday and was intended to only attend the early part of Level Up Fitness preview and leave at around 1pm. Kenny Sia, the founder of Level Up invited us to join the preview(Levelling Up with Bloggers) whereby we got the chance to check out the place before the grand opening this Friday.


At 11.30am, I reached Level Up.

Left: The reception counter. Level Up starts here.

Right: After you leveled up, be sure to Juice Up to replace your body water loss.


Took some photos with Amiey and also around the gym.


Models were there for us to take photos. I didn’t take much photos of the models because my battery was low, I forgot to bring extra battery with me.

I went there with slippers because I did not intend to join any workout there. Also, I don’t have a pair sport shoes ;p



This is the second level. More photos of the models.

I’m not really into these gym equipments and I have treadmill and stationary bicycle at home that I never bother to use. That’s why I never think of joining any gym. Furthermore, gym membership is expensive! Don’t have such money to join but you will be surprised with the fee Level Up is charging. Sign up now before November and you will only pay RM99/month for a year! You will have full access to everything there.


The lady changing area. The guys got rare chance to visit it and they were only allowed in yesterday ;p They spent a lot of time in there taking photos of the models *LOL* Aiks… I just realized I forgot to include the photos of the men’s changing area. While they were busy in the lady changing area, some of us went into the men changing area.


Left: Met Kenny so many times and this is the first time I have photo with him, only with him. Believe it or not? This is so rare ;p Photo quality is bad because of my setting, I forgot to set to the right setting. Took 3 shoots and all blurred -.-”

Right: Kenny showing the model how to pose.


More photos of the models.


Group photo! So many cameras there, imagine how long this photo session was. Thanks to Jeffrey for taking the photos.


Food we had after the photo session.

I was thinking of leaving after Kenny briefed us about his gym. Then found out that pilates didn’t need me to wear shoes, it’s done barefooted. Since I have the time, I decided to join.

After the session, we(Anna, Rose, and Naomi) camwhored.

Left: This is one of the movements we had learnt. Nice photo. I like it. I found out that some of the movements I did at home on my own are actually pilates movements.


While we were busy camwhoring, Kenny suddenly slid in between the camera and us and you see what happen? I said that he looked like a beached whale but later notice that it’s more like a seal *LOL* Anyway, I did something that I’m not supposed to do to him, sorry… I got too carried away -.-”

Thanks for inviting us, giving us 1-month of free gym membership, the gym bag, and a towel. Was also given with one t-shirt also when we decided to join the pilates session.

In fact I was thinking of redeeming the membership today by joining the belly dance session but I changed my mind. I think better go get a sport shoes first so that I can take full advantage of the membership. I’m only interested in the group exercise rather than the equipments.

By the way, this is a unisex gym so the group exercise sessions are opened to all the members regardless of age and gender.

New Look of McD

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on New Look of McD

I didn’t even know that McD next to Tun Jugah was close for renovation. I only knew about it after my classmates mentioned about it. That was like already closed for quite long already then I knew that it’s closed for renovation. See how outdated am I? ;p

Finally it’s re-open for business sometimes ago. Last time there was red signboard out there at the building, now no more red signboard but a big yellow “M” and brown is the main colour.

Dad decided to go there for dinner, so we went.

Long queue, only two counters -.-” The counter area was so small -.-


The second level.

The children play area was so small. It’s taken up by area for smokers. They were catering more places for smokers. Last time was only down stair, outside the entrance, now up stair also got. It’s divided by glass wall with a door leading to the smoking area and there were fans there.

Hmmm… Nowadays people are trying to stop people or discourage people to smoke yet they are doing the opposite now. Aih…

Anyway, the only thing I like about McD is the apple pie and fries, nothing else. It’s pretty expensive to dine there with family compare to KFC. I still prefer KFC’s chicken and its meal sets. I’m never a fan of their burgers, be it McD or KFC, I prefer roadside burgers ;p

Screwed My Second Interview

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Screwed My Second Interview

Remember I mentioned about being shortlisted for tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt?

So today is the day… I woke up, got myself prepared, reminded myself on what to say during the interview, reached there, got a script, tried to memorize it, chit chatted with the other shortlisted contestants while waiting for my turn and I turned out to be the second one to go in coz I’m the second person to reach there.


The script was so short, easy and simple, it’s a piece of cake! I used to memorize stuff longer than this.

Talking in front of the camera was nothing to me. For those that follow my blog long enough will know that I did quite a number of video projects with my friends few years back, even did the filming in public places with tonnes of complete strangers looking at me, you can find the videos in my blog, related to Borneo Highlands and Kuching Festival. Links are available in the comment section.

Today, there were only a handful yet I was so nervous -.-”

Talking in public was fine with me, as long that I’m well-prepared but…

I screwed up big time in this second interview. -.-” I forgot my lines. I requested to redo 3 times or so(if I’m not mistaken). In fact, I could just use my own words but some how my mind was blank… BLANK! Ish… Ish… Ish… The judges were kind enough to let me refer to my script. It wasn’t very smooth too, I was too nervous! At least I managed to complete the key points. However, the last sentence that I made up myself was a bit odd due the the word usage because I suddenly couldn’t think of the appropriate word or sentence structure that I should use. Told you… I was so blank.

Then, I’m asked to do it in Mandarin. I thought I can do it, I asked the judges to give me time to phrase my words but… ARG! I forgot my Mandarin. YEA! What the heck, right? I used to do Mandarin speaking videos last time, there were no script at all, well… Not in grammatically correct Mandarin but still I could get the message across.

Today, I could only manage to come out with 1st sentence and got myself stuck in the second sentence onwards. I even requested to redo it twice but not successful. I forgot all those terms in Mandarin.

Good thing they didn’t ask me to do in our national language, I would end up with similar situation ;p Furthermore, I’m extremely rusty with it.

How silly I was?

I even prepared myself with what I want to tell the judges but forgot most of them that time. Luckily one of the judges reminded me of one of the thing I want to bring up but still… Didn’t manage to get all the points across to them.

One of them asked me whether I’m nervous or not, I admitted it. *LOL* Hell yeah! I was so super duper nervous else why I ended up like that!?!?

I shouldn’t be like that! Why am I so nervous and tensed? All these are nothing compare to what I had done before. Maybe it’s because this is a contest whereby people will be judging me so I was quite self-conscious until I forgot everything.

Oh well… What’s done is done, can’t blame anyone but myself. Say so much also no use hahaha… We’ll see if I still manage to be one of the top 16. Chances are very slim but at least I had fun and this is one interesting experience.

If I’m not mistaken, I’m the oldest there ;p

To my supporters, sorry to disappoint you people. Thanks for the supports *muaks*

SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring

Had our dinner at SCR Xpress @ tHe Spring few weeks ago. The place was so packed and it’s quite narrow too. Business seemed to be very good.


This is the chicken rice set that came with a glass of blackcurrant juice. They forgot our blackcurrant juice, reminded them so many times yet only came to us when we finished everything. The service was not efficient. It could be due to too many customers but how could this happen when all the customers that arrived later than us got all their drinks but not us. Even those that just sat down and ordered also got their drinks. I really don’t understand.

Besides chicken rice, there were also other type of food too.

Left: Mushroom & Cheese Fettuccine, so salty.

Right: Black Pepper Ramen, sweet only… Not much of black pepper taste.

Sadly, we didn’t have any good experiences with SCR Xpress that time. My dad said he is not going back anymore. I personally won’t go back too. I rather eat at the food court.

Now I understand why many people complain about it.
