Level Up Fitness Grand Opening

October 30, 2009October 30, 2009 sweet surrender 15 Comments

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.

If you are coming to Kuching, you can consider Pullman as it will be operating by then. It’s located right in the city center and many places of interests are in walking distant. With this offer, you will only be paying RM175++/night for a room in an upscale hotel. Mind you that this is not cheap or low budget hotel.

Level Up Fitness Preview

October 26, 2009October 30, 2009 sweet surrender 8 Comments

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.

MBO @ tHe Spring

September 9, 2009September 10, 2009 sweet surrender 5 Comments

Decided to go to MBO @ tHe Spring today. Today is the first day of opening. Last night was the official opening ceremony. I’m pretty sure this cinema will be filled to the brim for months. It’s new so everyone wants a piece of it and also because many are fed up with Star. Star really needs to buck up else they will suffer a lot!

Since today is 090909, many people took leaves just to celebrate this day with their other halves as I saw quite many people taking this opportunity to watch movie with their other halves.

Left: Hehehe… My sis spotted this sign. “No pets allowed” in Malay but they printed as “Pets allowed” ;p Original sign is wrong, “Haiwan tidak dilarang masuk”. Then the “tidak” was censored with masking tape, so it’s correct now hahaha…

I was thinking, this place is going to be packed for months, every single day and it’s going to be packed surely at nights, weekends and public holidays. So I thought it would be better to go on weekdays during office hour, at least it won’t be so packed but wow… There were still quite a lot of people even though it’s not packed for weekdays and office hour. I guess it’s because today is 090909. I heard it was so packed just now. Phew…

Lots of mirrors there, camwhored!

We watched Up at Hall 2. I heard quite a lot of good reviews about Up, that’s why we went for this movie. Not many people watched this movie, hmm… less than 20. Watched the 4.15pm show, not in time to go for 2.15pm show. Ticket was RM7/person.

I thought it will be very cold in there but it was just nice, not too cold and I don’t need to wear my sweater.

The sound was pretty good and the place was clean hahaha… Of course! It’s new! However, I’m not sure how clean will it be in the future. I don’t like to go to cinema because it’s pretty dirty, that explains why I don’t go to watch movie for quite sometimes. Hopefully MBO will ensure that cleanliness is their top priority and don’t end up like you-know-where.

Everything was fine but the toilet needs improvements *LOL* At least have something for the girls to hang their bags in the cubicle. Can provide tissue papers or not? ;p

As for the movie, Up, it was really good! The characters are so cute. It’s so sweet and tears jerking too. If only I’m watching this with my darling.

While watching the movie, something in there motivated me a bit, “Thanks for the adventure. Now go have one of your own.” It did help boost me up a bit. Time to look for my own adventure! Just one problem… Where and how to look for one? Need more inspirations… Hahaha…

Can’t wait for the karaoke to open at tHe Spring! I want to go to the opening!! Can? *LOL* I know… People will say, “who are you to be invited to go?!?!”. So what?!? *blek* Itching to sing K now.

Review It!, Uniquely Kuching

tHe Spring New Floor

August 30, 2009 sweet surrender 2 Comments

It’s Merdeka’s eve now, what are you doing? I have nothing to do. Nothing special or exciting happening too. I’ve been isolating myself a lot lately because really not in the mood to do anything and as if I loss interest in everything except blogging, hahaha… At least I’m still interested in something.

I know I’m very very very late in posting about the new floor of tHe Spring because I’ve been restraining myself to got there for the passed month *LOL* What to do? No money… This new floor will be housing MBO(the long awaited cinema) and a new karaoke opening soon. I’m looking forward to the karaoke!! ;p

After restraining myself for about a month, finally I went there right after I got back from Singapore with my sis and bro coz my sis wanted to look for something. There’s Coffee Bean now in tHe Spring. Even iGloo is there too.
