Eversendai Cup Dubai 2012

It's a Futsal Tournament for Malaysian in UAE. Ada team dari Dubai, Al-Ain and paling penting Abu Dhabi hantar 3 teams!!! <-kebanggaan yang dicipta sendiri..

Kol 4.30 pagi dh kena kejut dgn Chinoi. Sabar je la.. Over mamat ni. Tau la dia nak lawan japgi. Team pilihan lak tu kan. Tapi agak2 la.. Finally kol 6 pagi org dah siap nak gerak dia lak nak memerut.. Aduhai..

Lebih kurang kol 8.15 pagi Chinoi, Isky n myself sampai la ke gelanggang perlawanan nya.. Kami bertiga je yang satu kete. Yang lain ada naik kete lain..Total yang pegi... pemain (7X3)=21 orang. Penyokong 3 dewasa and 4 kanak kanak. Meriah kan orang Abu Dhabi? Siap bawak tikar, cekodok ikan bilis, air teh tarik, periuk nasi bagai berkelah kat sana.. Haaa... Ko boleh lawan???

Game start lambat sket. Delay.. Sebab apa tak tau.. Jadual perlawanan seperti dibawah.

Abu Dhabi hantar team nama Falcon Rimau, Rimau Pasir and Bunga Raya. Bajet ganas habis la walaupun ada satu tu jambu gila nama team.All 3 are considered as Underdog. Sume org tak pernah tau mcm mana org AD main. Lagipun 1st game all 3 teams main lek lek je.... huhu..

Hebat tak hebat.. Bunga Raya which is team pilihan Abu Dhabi dapat no 3 keseluruhan!!!! Bangga gak la sesikit.. <- makcik tau makcik over..

Penat sangat hari tu. Tapi seronok. Melayan karenah Wak Kohl yang tak habis2 nak nyakat aku. Memberi sokongan yang tak terhingga pada team pilihan AD. Yang bestnye, walaupun they're suppose to compete against each other, tapi Falcon Rimau and Rimau Pasir are supporting Bunga Raya tanpa berbelah bahagi. Sampaikan ada orang tanya "Korang dari AD dtg bape bas bwk penyokong? Sekali gol macam nak runtuh stadium". Ehek! Maaf la.. kitorg ni.. memang camni.. Tak tau lak kat Dubai takleh jerit2...

Sedih gak bila Bunga Raya kalah masa Semi Final lawan Mamzar A. Tapi kalah penalti.. So memang teramat bergantung pada nasib la.. They have tried their best and we are really proud of them. Main masa lawan 3rd-4th placing relek je 2-0 dengan Mamzar C.

Hala balik, belum sampai border AD-DXB lagi ni.. Dah susun strategi tahun depan. Amboi.. Ada ke tidak kat AD ni pun lom tentu lagi kan.. Hehehe..

Penat tapi seronok. Tu je yang boleh dicakap bila orang tanya pasal futsal tournament tu...

Lupa plak.. Siap masuk paper tempatan lagi ok....

1..2..3..ZUMBA!

Penat ok.. Ni bukan 1st time wat Zumba ni. Dulu dah terpaksa wat skali sebab Elly kensel kelas BodyCombat. Jadi dia ganti dgn Zumba. So masa tu macam "hmm.. try je la.. dah dok dlm kelas ni.." Pas kelas tu rasa mcm tak best. Puncanya step dia ialah dance step. So, bila tak dpt follow step dia jadi kecewa n malas nk wat dh.

Biasanya Selasa aku masuk kelas GAQ Attack untuk attack ponngong ku yg bullet ini...Masalahnye tadi kuar ofis lambat. Memula dah malas nk g gym. Tp pikir2, Ahad pun tak pegi. Bape kali nk skip. So cadang2 pegi la treadmill barang 30 minit ke..

Pas salin2 baju bagai tgk kat board tu ada kelas Zumba. Dalam hati kata boleh la.. asyik treadmill je.. dah tgh demotivated ni.. So, masuk le makcik sekali lagi ke kelas Zumba ni. Kali ni lepas 3 lagu perut dah senak, peluh dah menitis bagai nak rak. Eh, ok jugak la kelas ni...

Zumba ni sebenarnye perkataan latin. Zumba for fitness ni dicipta oleh mamat Columbian. Nak kata baru pun tak sangat la. 2001 dia dah cipta secara tak sengaja. Tapinya sejak akhir2 ni jadi fames lak sebab Les Mills masukkan kelas ni dlm program diorg. Kalau tak salah skang ni siap ada Wii game based on Zumba lagi.. Hmm.. Mcm kena beli Wii je ni... hehhee...

Zumba dance ni banyak lompat2. Sbb tu lepas 3 lagu dah rasa sakit kat bwh perut. Maklum la.. perutnye ada 'bunc' sket kan... (ye ke sket???) And kat tanah arab ni since instructor nye pun arab jadi diorg byk masukkan element bellydance dalam zumba diorg. Makanya aku skang pun dah pandai gelek2 sket.. eceeewaaahhh.. Pasni boleh masuk kelas bellydance plak.

Video ni tunjuk basic step zumba ni. Nampak senang kan? Haaa... Pastu ko tgk video advance nye plak.. Cuba buat sendiri tgk.. senang ke susah...Tambah sket instructor aku mmg bagi gellek baeekk punya.. haaa.. mau tergeliat urat perut..

Kicking in Action

Lama gila tak buat kickboxing ni. Used to be my favorite class in the gym. Lebih setahun jugak la tak buat. Since Ijoined Fitness First kat sini tahun ni, ada la peluang nk join the classes. Today I attended my first Kick Boxing a.k.a Body Combat class for the year (2 years kottt) despite the smug looks I got for leaving the office early.

Why I love Body Combat so much? Coz it's a fun way of exercising. U got to punch, kick, release all those stress and anger u had in u while still losing weight. Best kan? Last time I still remember when I went for my session with Bobo, he will ask me if I want to do BC when my face are all gloomy and moody. Of course I would say yes. And him being a master in martial art would quickly change up and put on the smelly glove ready to let me box him. Miss him already..

Here, the class is handled by a lady since it's a Ladies Only Fitness First (cool kan?) I was quite afraid that I won't be able to keep up with the moves as I didn't do it for more than a year. But apparently they still use the same songs.. same moves... same push up/abs exercise. I realize only one add up, which is the Pirates moves with the imaginary sword and stuff. I like it anyway...

I hope I will be able to attend the class again next week. And no more crisis at work. <= I left the office today with an unsettled task and when I go online (which is now) that guy put up a status saying his 'busy'.

p/s: the video is not what happened my class. But the moves are the same. minus the pirates of course...

Pilates

Yesterday I went to my very first Pilates Class. Yup. FIRST. Sebelum ni tak pernah buat Pilates. Yoga slalu la. And dulu slalu ingat Yoga and Pilates ni sama. So dengan konfiden nya join la Pilates class ni kat gym. Baru la makcik tau betapa bezanya Pilates and Yoga ni.

The obvious difference is that Yoga is more relaxing than Pilates coz Yoga concentrate on breathing, mind and spirit while Pilates concentrated on strengthening your muscle, control and concentration. There similarities on the poses but Pilates uses the muscle more.Yoga will 'ask' you to maintain a pose for a certain amount of time while in Pilates you need to do a lot of repetition on a certain pose.

Results? Sakit gila muscle2 aku ok... Ari ni kat ofis dok tegak je. Tapi I want to try to keep going to the class. Mana la tau boleh dapat body cam gini ke...

Selamanya Harimau Malaya

So true. Kalau kita tak boleh terima kekalahan jangan sorak kemenangan mereka. Setiap permainan tu bergantung kepada skill, untung nasib dan juga doa. Kadang kadang kalau kita terlalu yakin, terlalu berbangga dengan kejayaan yang sebelumnya, kita terlupa untung berdoa. Jadikan ini sebagai pengajaran. Walau setinggi mana kejayaan kita dua tiga hari sebelumnya, kita masih perlu berdoa untuk kejayaan seterusnya.

ManU pun pernah kalah 6-0 kan.. lek laa....

Gym in AD

Satu benda yang sangat susah nak cari. Gym in Abu Dhabi. Ia merupakan pencarian selama sebulan (lebih).

There's no Fitness First. Apatah lagi True Fitness kan.. Yang diorg banggakan ialah World Gym yang mana aku tak pernah dengar and when I was first told about it I was like "World what??!"

So I start my search. I Googled. I Yahooed. And I ask around.. So it came to my knowledge that there're 2 types of gyms here.
1. Co-ed Gym
2. Ladies only gym (it usually came together with spa, massage, salon, mani pedi and the list goes on...)

There's high end gyms like Hiltonia, ADCC, Beach Rotana (which is like 500m away from my house).
There's mid end gyms like Lifeline, Haddins, International Gym (one of the outlet is like 300m away from my house)
And last but not least, there's private own gym yang memang takkan ada cawangan2 like Oriental , Sharanis, Arvilla (which have all the spa thingy plus swimming pool)

After thinking through, trying here and there, trying to get the best deal and everything, I chose Arvilla Spa. Why? Coz they offered me 2500AED for one year plus 12 FREE services. Means each month I will get one massage/hair treatment/hammam/meni pedi/etc. And trust me it really worth it. If you know AD's price for these services you know what I mean.

My experience with the gym. It actually includes personal trainer service too!!! Which would usually cost me additional 2000MYR or so for 12 sessions. So I was like, ok.. this is not so expensive anyway.. I'm happy with it.

So let's see if I could loose those 5kg I accidently added up within these 6 months kay..

The Finale of the Olympics.

Similar to last year, this year finale game of the Olympics was the Volleyball. A known game among the AEs. It is definitely 'OUR' game. All of us can play it including the boss and the boh. Apatah lagi bos kecik n boh kecik. (pening already? hahhaa)

This year kapten decided to send 3 teams of 6. No reserve (again). He actually separated last year's sure win team into 2. And as expected I was downgraded to Team 2 together with TJ, KK (bos kecik), Razman (boh), Jojo, and Ezhan (a.k.a pegawai). Mie chose Anip, Jason, Boss, kakak, n newcomer Claudine. When he knew Claudine was not that good he was trying to get me back in his team. Sorry bro. Once you buang me, I won't come back. hahaha..

The psychological game started weeks before. Team 2 was sure that we're gonna meet Team 1 in final and beat them off the gold medal. So sure. But once we saw the grouping we knew we sure sayur already. hahhaha..

We got to lawan GEESM1 (tgk pun dah gerun) n Corporate (we're confident we can win. but the interference was &*^%$). We won the 1st set with GEESM but lost the 2nd set. Right after that, with no reserve we had to lawan Corporate straight away. We were determine to at least draw the game. But we lost 24-26 (1st set, dues) and 23-25 (2nd set). So close to winning...

This will be the last time i would have the chance to play with my super team. I'm gonna miss them truly. Wish i could come back home to play with you next year and so.. sob sob..
