Men's Health Malaysia 7th Anniversary Partay

Greetings everyone,

Hope this entry will finds you well :p (bunyik macam ramai sangat je yang baca blog gw nih).

How is the weekend so far? Enjoying it? Life in Kuala Lumpur is pretty mad now. The Mega Sale, the preparation for Raya and the super hot weather. Mad mad mad. But I kinda like it especially the mad 'scent' of Hari Raya that is lingering everywhere in Malaysia now. How I can't wait for Hari Raya to come, which falls on September 10, this year.

And as for my work schedule, I am blessed to be given an off day on Raya eve and also on the first day of Raya itself. Bingo!

It has been ages since MH put a bare-chested men on the cover. It was dull, until the Aug 2010 issue came out.

Enough of my pre-Raya agendas. Lets talk about the event I attended recently--The Men's Health Malaysia 7th Anniversary Party, held in KL.

I myself am an avid reader of this magazine for the past 5 years (I remember I was very skeptical to pick my first copy from the rack. It was weird)
I found the magazine to be very useful on helping me to be a better person--physically, mentally, financially and err.....my sense of fashion (?).

And just recently, the magazine threw its b-day party in downtown of KL, that was also in conjunction with the Refine & Define Challenge FInale Party. I was one of the contestant in the very first cycle, in year 2007 so I was one of the so-called VIP on that night. Kind of :p
It is a challenge whereby they pick up ordinary people, and transform them for a better person with loads of classes thrown to them to attend. To name a few, diving and dancing.

Free drinks throughout the night.

The event was held at Luna Bar. To be honest, it was my first visit to the Bar. Heard about it so often. Location-wise, it's a winning!

Maple Loo. Awesome!

Fashion show. Lame.

The whole night was great. Except that I felt it was a brief one. Sangat sekejap. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves a lot (sangat banyak kupon :) )

And to all the winners, Congratulations. I certainly am looking forward for more surprises from Men's Health.

Ciao.

I Miss ...

Dear Diary,

Last week, I was chatting with a long lost friend. And the very first thing he said to me was, 'Dude, are you free this noon?'.

And I said 'Yeah....wassup?'.

And he replied 'Let's hit the gym at KLCC (Fitness First). I got 2 free 1-Day Pass'.

I said 'Sh**t! That was the gym I went to before'.

Well, basically that is the story lah! How I am dying to work out again in the gym. I just couldnt find the time where and when for me to work out. Yeah, I know, people will always say it is a lame excuse to say it's because of the job that we cant go work out!

But what to do? The tight schedule, crazy working hours (again) et cetera. Boooo....!

Me, when I feel good (and look good too!)

I also got the chance to appear on few commercials (both TV and printed). That was beforeee laah!

And I frequented the beach too!
There was no 'malu' in my dictionary, for me to wear bikini.

Ta duhhh!~

But that was old story la. I tremendously lost my weight, lost my cutting and lost the extra 'Umphh', if I may say the word, ever since I quit going to the gym.

And this is me, taken recently. Aiyoo....very skeleton-alike lah!

I miss the gym. Fullstop

...and another 2 magazines. Photos will be uploaded soon ;)

Beck, Again...

***The other part of this post is here.

Dear Diary,

I am glad to be back again. I am very sorry for the delay. I was extremely busy past few days, with work, of course.

It is cloudy outside. Nice weather actually. Not so hot and humid, just nice.

Anyway, this is another I-wish-to-upload-and-update-the-photos-in-my-blog-for-so-long.
It has been more than 2 months actually since I snapped these photos.

I was at Times Bookstore at Pavilion last August where I found the Men's Health Magazine with David B. on the cover. I gotta be frank that I actually did not know that the American version of MH are available in Malaysia. And it is just MYR 19.40, almost 10 Ringgit more than the local version.

I did not buy the mag tho ;p

And yes, David B was almost on every pages of the mag!

Geez. How great to be David B.?

And guess what? As I was flipping the magazine, I saw this ad. It is an underwear adv actually, called 'Papi'.

I was like... 'Holy sh*t' when I saw the ad. Why? Just look at the pic below.

What do you mean papi when there is no bulge? If you cut the photo into 2, and show the yellow undie to me without the body and the face of the guy, without hesitate aku bole cakap iklan Victoria's Secret!
Well, a papi should have a big bulge, heh? Like the photo below.

AA size

Nelly for Sean John underwear line. AAA size.

u know u love me, xoxo

I was very happy to see that 3 of my unimates who happened to be my gym buddies during my study time in Melaka on the magazine. They were simply following my step by joining the man hunt challenge aka MH Refine & Define Challenge 2008 (mine was last year, 2007). They did not win anything, unfortunately, but hey....they learned a lot, I am sure. Just like I did! Read here.

I am still proud of you, guys!

All of them are from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET). And, I also read this. Just to keep me updated.

Men's Health/Shape Run 2008

Dear Diary,

As I mentioned in my previous entry, these are what I picked up from the OCM last Friday for the Men's Health Run. Well, to be precise, it was not a marathon, like what I used to tell my friends. Merely a quarter of it, a 10km run to be exact.

Basically, I got this:

vouchers for goodie bag, a certificate of participation and a free breakfast from 1901

and this:

an adidas RM50 voucher for the puchase of running shoes

and this:

and this:

a running tee from adidas worth RM69.90

Not bad, eh?

But guess what? I was not be able to participate the running held last Sunday. The reason?

Wait for my next entry ;)

All About Men's Health

It came as a surprise that a sexy wolverine-like David Beckham will grace the cover and the back cover of the September issue of Men's Health, hitting newsstands August 12 (in America only la kan....), along with the back cover of the mag's Guide to Style insert.

Geez, bile la my face to be featured on the cover for Malaysia edition? I am tired of waiting la, Kenneth! Mind you, when Josiah Ng graced on the cover for Men's Health November issue last year, he actually did the photoshoot during the Olympics in Athens....and that was in 2004!!!!

Aiyo...kene tunggu that lame ke, Mr. Editor?

Anyway, I was invited by Serena, the new Men's Health A&P manager replacing Mingle who moved to Female Magazine to the Refine & Define 2008 Final Party tomorrow at Bar Savanh Too at Mont Kiara.

Yeay, somebody is doing the job ;)

Three of my unimates are in the competition this year. They are non other than my best workout buddies in Melaka--Wong, Ke Yi and Victor.

I in fact was a participant in the same competition last year. The photo below will judge.

Though I did not win the Grand Prize award, I received these instead.

I dont really care about the Best Hair Groomed, tapi untuk Most Stylish alahai syahdunye....

Somehow, I terkejut la that I did not win the Grand Prize....you know, they had 5 categories last year and I won 2 out of 5. Basically I grabbed the most category awards but heck the Grand Winner did not get any of the category prizes. Ala² Juara Lagu la.....tak ke terkedu Saripah Aini kalau dia menang Vokal Terbaik, Persembahan Terbaik, Juara Pop Rock....tibe² Juara Lagu, Syura yang menang? **Pengsan!

Anyway to Wong and Ke Yi and Victor, I hope you guys will get something la tomorrow night. If I can, why cannot you?

u know u love me, xoxo
