KL Pink October Zumba 2019

alhamdulillah this is the 4th year that we are collaborating with HKL Pink October Team. mula2 tu tertanya2 jugak sebab this year macam lambat pulak invitationnya 😁 but again alhamdulillah, kami di beri kepercayaan lagi cuma this year agak berlainan request dari tahun2 lepas. there are request supaya tahun ni lagu2 lebih aggressive and high intensity. so demi memenuhi kehendak organizer, kami gigih memenuhi. 

cuaca yang agak tak menentu sekarang ni memang merisaukan kitorang. tapi nak buat macamana. show must go on. kesian jugak the participants kat tengah2 padang yang becak disebabkan hujan. tapi semangat diorang memang kental. some stayed till the end. somehow, waktu 90 minutes yang organizer beri terpaksa dipendekkan sebab apparently there is another group from the aerobics team akan perform selepas zumba. we all ok je, menurut perintah. so just before our turn started, i cut about 5 songs from our list. 

this year, i did all the medium range as to not exert myself. tapi tengok semangat AKO Fitness team pun memang dahsyat malam semalam. memang best, memang power (puji team sendiri apa salahnya). and tengok Dr Ros kat bawah stage pun macam geram je, aku ajak jugak tapi sebab Dr kurang datang class, lagu2 tu semua macam baru kat dia. 

yang kitorang yang atas stage pun kasut comot2... am so lucky my part time maid datang on sunday to help me clean my shoes.. heheheh 😀 memang la aku ni dari zaman sekolah sampai dah tua bangka ni helper yang tolong basuhkan kasut. #silajanganjeles. 

to my team members, korang memang the best and dahsyat!! semoga next year kita dapat peluang lagi when i am healthier to perform together. well done team!! love you all so much!!

without all of you we won't be able to do it!

with Zin Manzale all the way from New Zealand

we didn't stay till the end. memang our chance for lucky draw kitorang sedekah je kat orang lain yang hadir malam tu. masing2 bila atas stage tak hengat - tapi bila dah habis baru la terasa kaki masing2 macam dah hilang.. hahahah 😜 so, apa lagi... carbo loading la lepas habis zumba kan... not bad jugak makan kat restoran ni.. apa ke entah namanya... nanti tanya Zin Zeela. 

Bulan Sukan Negara

from Hari Sukan Negara, now it is called Bulan Sukan Negara and alhamdulillah, AKO Fitness received an invitation to SK Lembah Keramat to lead Zumba Fitness during the school's carnival. and thanks to YB Anol for giving us the opportunity and trust. we were lucky that abg manzale was also available to join us. it was fun, and i get to do the simple songs together with Zin Nina and Zin Manzale. sikit2 boleh lah, tak berani sangat nak go all out coz i told myself that i will rest till end of this year. 

AKO Fitness & HKL in Selamat Pagi Malaysia

i am thankful to Dr Ros and team for giving us another opportunity this year to perform and lead the ZUMBA session during their Finale, closing of HKL Pink October 2019. i am going to be okay by october, insyallah. maybe i won't be able to do as many songs but i will arrange in such a way that i will get to team up with the whole AKO Fitness team member and create a memory. 

this year, AKO Fitness will be bringing Abang Manzale who will be coming back to Malaysia in October. So for fans of abang Manzale, please get your tickets fast by 7th Sepetember 2019! HKL needs ample time to print your tshirts.

We care about your privacy and comfort while working out hence the space will be closed and only for ladies only.

project asal nak try to get more guys to try out this programme tapi somehow sambutan from guys tidak memberangsangkan. maybe because diorang nampak je zumba terus kecut ingatkan kena menari sedangkan dah letak situ not a dance. but it is okay :) kiranya rezeki siapa2 lain yang nak join this free session.

so if you have not registered yet please whatsapp me at my number shown in the poster.

KL Urban World Run - 7 Feb 2018

the reason i started running

this is major throwback ok. my 2nd run for the year. i think this year i wanna try this, 1 run per month if there is any interesting run and nice medals.. hahhaha :D looks like my dive trips will be on hold for a while. it is cheaper to run then to dive. now that Joey is also a diver, dive trips for me is gonna be X2. so, ermm looking at my financial status for entertainment, it is too costly to dive.

this time i was more relaxed. maybe because i kind of know the route. more or less like the 1st run i did in january, just that its the other way round. so something like menyongsang arah la. as usual, we started together and we meet each other at the finishing line.

the best part at this run was i get to meet my PT after the run. i was not well the week before the run. i almost cancelled running but i decided.. i want the medal. so, yeah.. i did it.. just that... apparently it was not even 5km in total. it was about 4.1km only. hehehe :D but ok lah.. end up, i had to go on MC for another week because of my lung infection recovery tak settle2 lagi.

added: i think i only ran for the first 2km, coz after that dah rasa semput and i started to cough again. takut jugak kalau aku pengsan kat tepi jalan tu, ada ke brader hensem mana2 tolong angkat kan? hik hik... 😋 dah la sekarang dah errr heavy... anyway.. lepas tu jalan2 laju ala2 brisk walk gitu.. bila dah dekat nak sampai dataran merdeka tu baru lari balik.. hahaha 😁

mula2 excited sebab terasa cepat... rupanya tak sampai 5km hahahhaa 😂😂

morning run

i had a bad tummy ache last night. sampai berpeluh2 menyelamatkan diri lari ke toilet. hahaha 😂 not funny but funny. and last night balik je terus tertido. maybe because i skipped proper lunch kut konon2 nak save for shellambak. but no one wants to temankan so thats it lah. makan lah kuey tiow seafood yg tak habis sebab sakit perut. bukan salah kuey tiow.. salah perut dah masuk angin dari awal.

2.30am aku terjaga teringat kat M2J. and i think he was still awake till about almost 4am? but malas nak kacau. i end up layan abang am dpt la 2 episodes. 

this morning lps subuh whatspp ZZ.. asked if she is running this morning. since ada kawan aku pun cepat2 bangun mandi and siap. budget half hour je sebab ada appt dah dgn contractor nak gi shopping tiles today 😊😊 so here are my records today.. so far so good dah maintain at 9 mins lebih instead of 12 dulu. i am better than before 😉😊

Time for a Break

it wasn't that stressful for me. except that of course, my mind will be thinking of someone who may not be thinking about me too. sad isn't? but that is life. people change in a blink of an eye. fuhh ayat... LOL 😀 anyway, i am trying on all angles to make myself busy so that i dont think of him but, well sometimes our mind likes to work at its own pace. just like running too i guess.. hehehe :D so, yes, i still think of M2J no matter what for now. but if forgetting him is what he wants, i will do that when i am ready or until the next distraction comes. until then.. i am still hooked on M2J.

and somehow, my body system is stressed out mainly mentally. unlocking some stuff bit by bit. and i like the progress so far. but, health wise, it was dropping last week. so, i was not well.. started with sore throat and blocked nose that in the end, i stayed home on medical leave for 2 days. and over the weekend i still need to ensure that i am up and well enough for the event which was booked earlier. we had fun, the alumni of Taiwan University are sporting crowd.

Busy weekend

bestnya bila weekend full. busy and penat at the same time but i have things to do tu yang rasa best. right now my house is like a store because i had to clear all the things from my studio. alhamdulillah i managed to sell off my sound system last night. kurang sikit barang2. at the same time, i was also busy cleaning up my apartment at sri ayu and i have plans for it - tengok budget macamana. tenant dah keluar so senang sikit nak buat the cleaning up and repairs. cuma nak bercakap jugak lah.. manusia ni kadang2 bila awal2 cakap mulut manis.. bila dah dapat jadi agak kurang ajar di situ... belakang2 aku wallahualam lah kan. but then again, alhamdulillah tenant pun dah keluar - settled.

i tried jogging last weekend - activity yang memang i dont like doing sebab i rasa mcm sakit di bahagian dada (sila fikir2 sendiri ye :p ) but since dah start ala2 run manja2 ni, kena la jugak kut try.. and for the 1st time menjejakkan kaki kat msn setiawangsa tu - not bad lah. cuma boring la kan dok round padang sampai 7 kali - dah rasa macam kuda pulak dah round gitu je hahaha  🤣

dah settled jog with my youngest sister, my next task is to clear up all debris at the studio coz senang nak handover to the landlord. and thanks to N4's fiance for his monster truck, i managed to carry out the big items left.

and if anyone wants to rent a space, it is available for rental now at RM2,500/month and you can contact me directly. 😼 more photos can be viewed here:

next destination was my other sister's house N3 coz she bought durians.. hahaha :D so had like 2 slices sebab her daughter stole my other 2 slices!! and dapat lah nap dalam 15 minutes. memang rasa nak gigit dengan yaya ni yang degebot... hahaha 😛

my dad arranged an appointment pulak with a contractor - so this is going to be another project. perhaps there will be before and after pictures of my apartment after this. and later 630pm i had another appointment with a guy to do the changes. senang nak compare price. so, okay... till next time... nak nap kejap.

moving mirror

the activity at my studio last tuesday when IH came with his team to dismantle my mirrors. Yup, he took all my side mirrors and place them at the new space in his gym. So basically i have like some art of AFDA there :P

faith

i am thankful that whenever i can consider myself stuck in any decision, eventually the answer is there. i have always been a determine person - and as it goes with my life tagline "always get what i want" , i have always got what i want in life. it is just either i get it now or later - but not never.

i ran into the gym's owner last wednesday just before my class and he was saying about expanding his gym. somehow automatically it helped me decide. and i told him that if that is the case, might as well i operate at only 1 location which is just his gym instead of my own studio. if you are in the blur zone, i am now operating at 2 venues... my studio and my friend's gym. somehow, my studio is being underutilized. i think it is about time that i do something about it. no doubt, i love the space of my own but it is just a business decision that i have to make. last time i wonder how does it feels to have my own dance studio and in 2015 i managed to own 1. of course i love my space and it is also the place where my happiness is whenever i feel down. but, it is time to let go.

so soon, AKO Fitness will operate from X'Treme Hardcore Gym only - and the date will be announced at a later stage. and perhaps new classes schedule will be out too.

and i hope with this new changes, AKO Fitness will still get the support from all of you if not better :) insyaallah. X'Treme Hardcore Gym is just like my other home too and i would feel safe surrounded by the gym goo-ers :D :D

my pride

satu2 nya yang aku banggakan dan sayang, selain daripada anak2 aku and family aku - is AKO Fitness team. dulu waktu kaiser tinggalkan aku dan AKO Fitness, memang aku rasa lemah and lembik. aku dah hampir putus harapan nak teruskan apa yang kami dah mulakan. memang lah sebelum ni kaiser yang bagi aku semangat and dia lah yang mula2 percaya pada diri aku yang aku boleh buat semua ni. sebab masa aku start dulu pun aku bukannya muda sangat kalau nak compare dengan instructor2 lain. tapi aku kemudian fikir that i should only compare myself yang dulu dengan yang sekarang instead of comparing myself with others. and dengan adanya mereka yang aku boleh panggil sahabat & zumba sisters, somehow i am still strong until today. and aku dah kembali ceria and boleh tersenyum dan bukan lagi senyum dalam derita #dramasangat 😛

anyway, this morning we just finished one of the biggest event in our list. we are not the organizer, we were invited to sama2 memeriahkan the HKL Pink October Zumba 2017 sempena Breast Cancer Awareness campaign untuk tahun ni. in fact this is the 2nd year with HKL and jumlah peserta yang register sehingga 1300 orang!! 

this morning it was really hot for me and my team but because bila masing2 tengok semangat masing2... semua bertahan walaupun bukan aku sorang sebenarnya dah rasa tangan and kaki kebas2 macam dah tak boleh nak angkat pun yer. nak tunggu lagu lagu seterusnya tu... hehehe Tuhan je yang tau. to cut story short, we managed to finished the whole 1 hour in the hot sun and all got tanned beautifully. bila balik, aku dapat migraine lah kan.. memang terlantar atas katil selepas berendam dalam bath tub aku.. hehehe 😛 okay nanti kita cerita lagi ye.

if you wanna view more pictures, i have uploaded them in my fb page: akofitness720 or you can click here: HKLPinkOctoberZUMBA2017

i will upload more when i get them from other photographers.

Fitness Party - 90 mins ZUMBA & UJAM Fitness

First of all we call it a party coz it is going to be fun doing the fitness regime like in parties. It is not those wild party if you are worry about the name. hehehe :D anyway, yeah we will be having a combination of ZUMBA Fitness and UJAM Fitness with 4 instructors combined. there may be more who wants to chip in, I don't know but maybe we will have that. 

And as for the past 3 years, JAMU MAK DARA has been generous enough to contribute some of their awesome products as door gifts to ALL participants. and the last time they contributed, the door gift was worth RM200 per person. this year i am not sure what products, but let us have some surprises okay. 

So, come on everyone, don't be shy and join this fun and breaking calories event. Register online at http://www.heyjom.com/events/details/440/90-minutes-dance-party--zumba-vs-u-jam or get it from the instructors invloved if you know them personally. 

run baby run!

heheheh can't believe that i actually did it. with the rest of my team members of course. i ran for 5km in a charity run. yey! well, i didn't actually run the whole 5km hihihi... we walked, we jogged and we ran a bit la.. this year is the 3rd year that ACKU committee invited AKO Fitness to participate in the charity run where we normally do their warm up session with ZUMBA :)

but this year, peter who always liaise with us asked if we wanna run. and when i told my team, we planned to run half way, just at the starting point - but end up we finished 5km! so proud my ourselves. hehehe :D it was fun!

check out more photos on my FB page: akofitness720.

is it?

i notice that nowadays i have very very limited time to blog. perhaps i should just blog via email like i did on the 1st jan posting. of course the layout would not be nice if i were to blog from my laptop. the reason i am saying this is because last time when i used to blog often, i had less stress. :p heheh :D

anyway, my days are happening too fast, really too fast. joey is already in form 5 this year. and lisa is gonna be 20 this year! wow... no more having teenagers kids.. only 1 teenager left. how do i feel about it? alhamdulillah, i am grateful that my kids turn out to be good kids and quite easy to manage/handle. i have to admit dealing with a boy is different as the way they think is different.

at this point of time i am having overlapping tasks to be done - and what on earth am i doing, blogging??? LOL ... i just need to let things out of my chest first.. ok.. :p

i end my 2016 quite well. i took the last week of december 2016 off. not really sure what to do but with the current situation at the office, it just made me felt so iyeeghhh... but i keep telling myself - what choice do i have? it is either i grumble every day out of it - or just go with the flow and do what i am supposed to do since i am paid for it every month anyway. i have to admit that multi tasking with my fitness activities are getting more and more challenging. BUT that did not stop me from having a good holiday with my son - and a great time partaying and appreciating AKO Fitness members.

oh, for those who have been reading my blog, my fb (page or personal fb), IG or my tweet - they may clash.. as in my postings. simply because for my fb page it is all about AKO Fitness activities / updates  / changes, and my other fb is for my personal and i can me quite emotional... but my tweet is errmm more aggressive? my ig can sometimes about me sharing about fitness activities, motivation or relationship, WHICH may/may not be related to me, okay. so yeah... just read, if you like, with an open mind. NOT everything is about me. gosh.. :/

ermmm i really have to go.. boss is calling. i really wanna share some of my travelling photos. i must say that joey really takes nice pictures. maybe my next posting will be pictures from joey's camera during our recent trip to bandung ;)

stay tuned.

A Challenge

i have great challenges in my life. from my own love story - up to my family - my kids - my business and now my job. i love my job and it is getting more challenging. just that it is much easier if i am my own boss. anyway, apa la nak jadi dengan aku ni. sitting at my place but am actually blur what to do first.

ok anyway, alhamdulillah this year AKO Fitness gets better response in terms of attendance during the school holidays. and i am quite busy planning for next year. we did a trial session for line dance & mtv dance, and insyaallah in 2017, it will be continued - maybe for the 1st quarter.

this saturday we will be having a flashmob session - if you wanna see AKO Fitness team in action, whatsapp me ;-)

Cergas Ramadan Segment on MHI

Finally the day has come where i will get to meet my twin sister again :D yey! **happy mode** i was afraid to go back to sleep after sahur because i wanna be on time. last minute i asked aliza if she can come with me since lisa is not available because, she needs to send joey to school. and yey, aliza said yes, after i arranged lisa to send fizzi (aliza's daughter) to work :D hehehe :D

and since i had only about 20 minutes from my house.. for the first time driving more than the usual.. heheh :D and i got at sri pentas at 7.01am... and when FaFau arrived we were like boria.. hahah the red and black attire.

okay i would also like to take this chance to explain certain things about todays appearance on MHI since some were wondering or questioning. 

the song & attire were chosen by the organizer/client which also depending on the suitability of fasting month and community. so if any of you wonder why i wasn't dancing like usual, that is the reason.. heheheh :D quite limited movement there if you noticed but it is okay, i really had fun and grateful for the opportunity. 

and when i got home, i actually slept for few hours because i didn't really sleep the night before andddd... because i am on leave and i can!! heheheh wwwooohhooo
