Level Up Fitness Grand Opening

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Level Up Fitness Grand Opening

The grand opening of Level Up Fitness is today. I went there just for fun ;p I was late for almost one hour because I went out late and took quite a bit of time to find parking.


Left: The overview of the exterior.
Right: Just a random shot.


Kenny giving his speech and introducing his gym.

FYI, I hate the light!!! See the people turned out so purplish? What is wrong with just using normal light? It looks horrible in photos and also not nice in actual scene.


After that, we headed to the front where the ribbon cutting ceremony and lion dance performance took place.


Saw Stephanie Chai there, so I took the opportunity to have photo with her since she wasn’t occupied that time.

After the opening ceremony ended, I asked Kenny and Stephanie for a photo but the photos turned out all blurred because it’s not bright enough and I didn’t activate the flash. So a bit of movement will cause them to become blurry. I’m so short even with heels -.-” Hahaha…



They had photo shooting session at the stage and the reception counter so I joined the others to take some photos.

After that we had lunch. Then I joined the 1-hour Body Combat session without sports shoes, I did it barefooted hehehe… It’s quite painful coz the floor was hard but when I got used to it, it’s quite OK though. Still, it’s better to wear shoes ;p Body Combat really rocks! It’s not boring like those martial arts. I’m so bad in my coordination but with more practices, this will not be much of a problem.

Wait till I get my sports shoes first then I redeem my membership to fully utilized the gym for one month. Not November though, I definitely cannot find a sports shoes in such short time frame coz I’m so the very picky with shoes! Told you before I can go all over Kuching just for a pair of shoes ;p Maybe in December? Hmm… Maybe next year after CNY coz December is my exam month, then I’ll be away for traveling for about a week in January 2010, then February 2010 is CNY. Aiks… December seems to be the best time. We’ll see how by then. Just go as the flow.

So if you want to join, sign up quickly before the RM99/month for a year offer is gone, do it before November! Else you won’t get to enjoy such fee for a year.

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.

Big Apple Madness!

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Big Apple Madness!

I found out about this Big Apple Donuts promotion from a forum on Thursday night. Didn’t really bother about it until I saw it in the newspapers on Friday morning. 52% discount!! WAH! Should go get it! Original price is RM27 for a dozen, during the promo, it’s only RM13 for a dozen.

I told my brother and asked him to go with me on Saturday morning. We planned to leave from home at around 9.30am since Big Apple Donuts only opened at 10am. I thought the queue shouldn’t be too long by the time we reach.

Who knows… We reached there at slightly after 10am, we got a shock. The queue almost reached the entrance of Ta Kiong. When we reached we had to queue right in front of the kiosk selling the purifier thing. Luckily went there early but not early enough to get those fancier donuts with fruits on them.


Almost 2 hours wait, it was our turn, almost all the trays were empty. There were only 5 types left and I decided to wait since I want 12 different type of donuts. I paid and waited. They told me it would be quite long to wait but I said it’s all right, I have the time hahaha… I waited for few more minutes and finally one box was filled with a dozen donuts.

Those who were in front of the queue were so lucky! They got so many to choose and got those fancy fancy ones. Should have go there earlier ;p

In fact I had made a list at home earlier on what I wanted but from the list, 12 of them, I only got 3 or 4 of them that I had in the list. The rest were not available because they couldn’t fill up all the trays. Could only choose whatever were there. Oh well… Better than nothing.

Now… I had donuts as my snacks, for breakfast, for desserts, for lunch and dinner since yesterday *LOL* Finally finished it already. No more donuts for me until next promotion(if there is any but not this year… I have enough of donuts for now ;p).

Oh… This is my first time queuing up for food for 2 hours+

I guess I did two craziest things in my life in just one day, yesterday. Both were equally crazy, at least for me.

tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt Audition

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on tHe Spring Ambassador Hunt Audition

*LOL* This is the craziest thing I’m doing this year I think… I went for the audition at tHe Spring just now for the Ambassador Hunt. Didn’t intend to join but ended up joining it. In fact was dragged in to join but no harm, nothing to lose, it’s an experience that you won’t get everyday. Can consider this as my first audition in my whole life.

Actually I was there in the morning to queue up for the Big Apple madness with my bro ;p Queued for 2 hours+ just to get one dozen of 52% discounted donuts. Will blog about this tomorrow.

So… OK… After I got my donuts, I decided to just went over to have a look to see what’s this whole thing was all about but Naomi asked me to join but I was quite reluctant. After much persuasion by several people, I agreed. I went home at about 12pm+. Then, went back to tHe Spring at around 1.30pm. Was so afraid that I couldn’t find any parking palce, phew… There were still some spaces left. If I were to reach there later, I would be really having trouble with finding one.

Waited and waited for it to start and finally it started. I’m the fourth one.

Initial thought was that I need to speak with microphone in my hand and in front of public but that’s not the case. Since it’s very noisy there, we just had to stand close to the judges and talk to them. I don’t remember what were the things I told them already, all I remember was that I made silly blunders ;p Out of sudden I forgot my favourite fashion designer’s name, Elie Saab, and even asked the judges back whether I got the name right. Not only that, I almost bit my own tongue when I talked and jumbled up my words *LOL*.

I wasn’t prepared except went home to change my clothes and intensify my eye makeup. I went. I blah-ed. I left.

Will I be shortlisted or not? I don’t know but I do have problem pronounce the word “shortlisted”. The shortlisted ones will be contacted next week.
