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.

Malaysia's CLEO 50 Most Eligible Bachelor 2010

Greetings everyone,

How's life? Pardon my long lost, I was just busy with work.

Anyway, I was in town yesterday evening to catch up with a friend over a dinner. And voila! The much awaiting CLEO EB 2010 is now on newsstands!

Ha....how can I forget those fame, glam and limelight I received when I was one of the Bachelor in 2008's contest. I did not won, but hey.....it was a great great great experience. Thanks to Betty Mak Nenek, the one who introduced me to the competition.

I managed to flipped through the magazine. And I reckoned a couple of guys in this year's competition.

Tak lari flight steward. Every year mesti kene ade satu steward.

Carleef. He was also one of the contestants on What Women Want, a manhunt search organized by 8TV few years back. Both he and me used to do a printed commercial before. Oh....didn't I tell you that I also did commercials (TV and printed)?

Good luck to all bachelors. May the best man WIN!

U know u love me,
xoxo

ps: I really fancy the theme for this year's contest.

Help!

Ha......this is a Collector's Edition. Just put the phrase 'Collector's Item' on any items and I will surely purchase 'em no matter what--cost, size and the importance of the items to me.

But the problem is, how and where on earth am I gonna get this copy in Malaysia? I doubt they are selling it in Malaysia.....

Nak beli online pon tak bole sebab custom memang je check every printed materials that come into Malaysia...

I must buy, I must buy, I must buy it......but HOW??

Again, your help will be highly appreciated.

Love,
Zx

Mi Rewards

Dear Diary,

I am back to KL! How is everyone doing? Still in Raya mood?

My trip to Taipei was not so bad. I kind of enjoyed it. Did some shopping and lots of walking around the city.

My expectation about the city ternyata meleset. Auww....!

Taipei is an old-fashioned city, unlike HK and Shanghai. And I dislike old-fashioned cities. I like big cities with ultra modern architecture. It is not fair enough to make a comparison tho just how I hate when people start to compare KL and Singapore. Eughh......!

But I found the locals are nice (and cute too). They are softer than the mainland counterpart.

OK will update more later.

Just to share with you, some of the stuffs that I've got for myself recently. I did tell you that I was dying to pamper myself after 2 huge events ever happened to my life, in this year alone--that I graduated with flying colors from uni and landed on a job that I like.

And these are the items. They are my new toys. I love toys :p

• Nikon D90 DSLR camera
  

I am still a beginner. Need guidance and lots of tutorials before I can master this big toy.
I am very happy for being able to have my hands hold onto this camera now. Alhamdulillah, ada rezeki.

• the new iPod Classic
  

Since I am a rough type of person, I decided to give a go with the Protection Plan. Now I can sleep well.
Terlepas hajat bertahun² nak beli iPod.

• Western Digital 1TB My Book
  

Typical (ex)MMU student. Download mendownload is macam makan nasik.
I just need a bigger storage for all the mp3s, movies, photos and whats-not. Burning stuffs into CD/DVD is just not my thing.

• LAT The Early Series
  

I love LAT. I own a complete set of Kampung Boy series.

• A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.
  

I got carried away with the story telling. 2 thumbs up! Half way to go.

• Tunku Abd Rahman Putra Al-Haj graphical biography by e.Yu
  

• and few collector's items magazines.
  

And now you know why I am so broke (but feeling very happy) this month. lol

No regrets, more to discover and learn from the items purchased. Lovin' it!

U know u love me, xoxo
