Back to Group Fitness Instructor

I have decided to discontinue my membership with Zumba.Com. However whenever I feel like dancing, I might just hold a short session - perhaps, still with latin music. latin dance is still in me, just that since I do not have the time to hold a full class, I decided to discontinue. 

I have been a Licensed Zumba Instructor since 2013 and a Certified Group Fitness Instructor since 2012. And my GFI doesn't expire. Right now I am focusing in my Wellness Coaching with the current amazing technology and to help people grow old healthy and feel amazing!

I am also learning Malay Traditional dance - perhaps will be doing some dance performance with a new group of friends. Something that I wanted to do for a long time and alhamdulillah I got the opportunity. Perhaps I will share more on the malay traditional dance class in a later posting.

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.

Iftar Zumba Sisters





my ramadhan was a short one being with my friends and family outside. since i was discharged from the hospital, i am limiting myself from being outside in the public. the only time that i blocked my schedule was to be with my zumba family and divers gang. 

last night we had our iftar together. thanks to AZ for organizing and sending out the invites. makan sedap sini cuma sebab my tekak and mulut masih rasa pahit, bila makan semua rasa pahit. try jugak nak pilih2 tapi masih pahit. so what i can do is just telan. walau pun tak cukup quorom macam biasa, siapa yang ada je lah. and as usual, when it comes to AKO Fitness ladies, sekarang ni orang2 yang sama je available. but aku tetap bersyukur. harap2 this friendship akan berkekalan sampai bila2. 
ZUMBA sisturs: Muhibbah Seafood Restaurant
so far dah a few times iftar with my zumba sisters, i will bring joey along. aku ni kalau boleh memang nak selalu ada anak2 berbuka sama2. sampai bila lagi pun. sementara boleh. ni lagi2, aku takboleh drive sejak keluar hospital, syukur joey ada. walaupun kadang2 bila dia drive tu akan jadi gaduh dalam kereta dengan dia. bukan apa, boys being boys lah.. kalau drive tu suka sangat macam laju menonong. jenuh jugak aku pijak brake kadang2 tapi tak lut pulak brake angin kat belah passenger ni. 😂

and tahun ni jugak first time aku print raya angpow packet for my friends and members. semua ni aku decide and fikir masa selama 12 hari aku kat hospital. ye lah.. lama kat hospital tapi my brain is working. so anyway, lepas raya ni aku masih belum boleh mengajar, but classes are still on and will be taught by the awesome 3 zumba instructors at XTreme Hardcore Gym, Zin Zeela, Zin Niz & Zin Nina.

believe in me

i can do this. i have not been really exercising except when i walk around in the office, which is not much at all. and i have not been really working except during office discussions and meeting simply because i felt down and not productive. wow.. 👀 what a confession - in the open! but that is what blogging is all about, right? for me to express and to let out my whatever feelings.

okay, enough about me at work. now let's get back to what i wanna actually share with you. it is my fitness journey. i really have to get out of this low self esteem thingy. i didn't want to meet people because i hate listening to them commenting about my rounded face. that is how it affected me so badly.

so yesterday, i started to join zumba class. i really need to get back on 'loving' zumba. yeah, need to get the mood kicks in. hey, i have an event to attend to shadow my ZIN friend next 2 weekends. so, it is true as AH says, i need to get back on track to increase my stamina. last night, after going up 2 floors to HCore Gym, i was panting. i slowed down and took a long breath before i actually went to the dance studio area. purposely came at 9pm so that i get to do only half an hour. pelan pelan kayuh orang kata - as i don't want to end up getting admitted in the hospital again for being over ambitious.

it was really fun. selalu tengok Zin AL zumba kat IG Zin KR jer.. sekali sekala kena join other ZINs for different flavor. i really enjoyed my half hour session last night. TQ so much Zin AL. and i like the movements sebab senang nak ikut and fun. and aku rasa by the time i get back in class i may forget most of the songs steps. 

and the truth is also because i sort of signed up myself to be Zin Eva's shadow for KLZumbaMarathon 2019 in MAEPS on 20 Apr 2019 and i also gatal2 go and accept a job offer on 27 Apr 2019. so if i did not start mau pancit nanti. errkk.. macamana ye... but i am using it to motivate myself to go for classes before that date. for half hour session, i think... eh, i believe i can pull it off!

busy sunday

punya la aku siap list down apa yang perlu aku buat untuk sunday. takut ada yang tertinggal. so far alhamdulillah everything was done according to plan and some are earlier and smoother than planned. i woke up and don't feel like going out for breakfast coz sah2 joey masih dalam bilik dia. kalau aku keluar dengan kalams clan, lagi lama aku kat luar. so, i decided to buat tuna mayo sandwich for joey and i.

my airbnb guest checked out earlier at about 10.30am which makes it easier for me to arrange for my cleaner to clean my apartment. i fetched the cleaner at 11.30am, sent her to the apartment, i took all the used bedsheets, towels, blankets and sent to self service laundry. while waiting for it to wash, i had my early lunch at around 12 noon since i will be conducting aqua zumba later at 3pm. okay aku mengaku dok type ni time kerja tapi tengah tak de mood nak kerja sebab pikir MrH nak datang malam ni sebab dia tengah cuti. 😋
sambil tunggu laundry kering, aku drive balik hantar lunch kat joey. and as expected, breakfast dia pun tak usik lagi. so aku tambah je lah lunch pulak. dah berderet makanan atas meja makan tu. layan kan je lah anak bujang aku sorang ni. he got up dalam pukul 1 lebih kut.. aku pun entah macamana terlelap kejap. dah settle borak dengan dia kejap, aku pun rush balik ke laundry, pick up yang dah kering, hantar ke apartment for the cleaner to iron and pasang balik kat katil. 

i drove off to shangrila for my aqua zumba. nasib baik gerak awal, sebab jam kat jalan sultan ismail. reached the poolside 2.25pm. speaker semua dah ready. cuaca agak mendung so i thought tak pe lah tak payah pakai the beach umbrella tu. but after 3 songs, matahari mencanak atas kepala. aku dah rasa tekak aku memang kering. kepala dah ketat and aku pakai cap kan, lagi la agak terasa. daripada pakai specs biasa, aku tukar sunglasses. nak tak nak aku kena gak act ceria and senyum all the time. suara dah ala2 ella rocker dah. so aku banyak pakai sign language time coaching diorang dalam pool. tak ramai pun dalam 5 orang... and by the time habis tinggal la 3 orang, guests from Switzerland. sporting la diorang. lepas tu memang tekak aku dah kering and kepala dah start berdenyut. 
aku tengok jam jsut just before 4pm. my zumba sisters masih senyap. ni sure belum habis layan SRK. so aku pun drive balik dulu. dapat basahkan kepala rasa ringan sikit walaupun masih letih yang teramat sangat. aku call cleaner, dia kata lagi 15 min settle semua, so might as well i fetch her and send her back on my way out to see my zumba sisters. jumpa diorang just before 6pm.. or maybe slightly after 6pm. dah lama tak lepak ramai2, we had fun. aku dah macam mamai2 sikit, kepala dah berat. so i did not stay long pun. by 7.15pm macam tu, aku pun gerak balik...
balik ke? urmmm memang tak la kan. aku singgah keramat sebab nak pick up food yang aku dah order for the whole week since joey is at home. so, apa2 dia tinggal masak nasi je. i had 4 tupperwares of food - lauk ayam je semua coz joey bukan makan sangat benda lain. 

by the time malam, kepala dah makin berdenyut. i took the painkiller 2 biji dah kut. masih sakit.. aku try padam lampu.. sama jugak.. last2 aku gagahkan jugak bangkit pi masak air. i sipped hot water - pour some hot water dalam hot water bottle and letak bawah kepala and slept that way. rasa lega sikit lah... and i am so looking forward for a fun monday with MrH. ngeeeee😁

hahahaha laju tak korang baca posting aku ni?

acceptance

i never imagined that one day i will be a fitness instructor. for this i would like to thank kaiser for all the encouragement that he has given me. this is what we called, 'people come to your life for various reasons', and yes it is true. it either you can see and realize it or not. pejam celik pejam celik dah nak masuk 6 tahun i teach people and mostly ladies. 

why do i teach? originally because i love to dance and kaiser said, why don't i transform my passion into income and so i did. and i am the kind of person who likes to equipped myself with adequate knowledge before i actually pass on what i know to the public.

my satisfaction? is when those who attends enjoy dancing in my class because they can follow the simple steps. my classes are all moderate taking into account that my members are from 18 years old to 60 years old.

what i am deciding to do is a business decision. sometimes i think more for people without thinking for myself. well, of course ada lah jugak for myself. i think lifetime as a zumba instructor tak lah lama sangat lagi2 for me yang started lambat. not regretting it coz i feel God says that is the right timing for me.

i started with 2 classes a week, then jadi i had my own studio.. then i decided to close down my studio after 2 years (alhamdulillah for the experience) and shifted all classes to my friend's gym that i originally started my class. masih semangat studio so i added classes.. cuma nowadays (or maybe sebab dah hujung2 tahun - fitness industry memang macam ni) members tak seramai dulu. it goes with my own errmm apa tu.. feel or semangat kut. bukan aku tak semangat cuma sebab dah start diving balik... so macam terdivert sikit attention.

so anyway, i think next is i am going to kurangkan class to 2 classes a week balik and 1 extra class tu je i spare for inhouse instructor. so, back macam mula2 asal dulu kut... and i need to rethink of the cost. so that i won't feel the burden and enjoy teaching at the same time. and i accept the fact that some of the members are trying other type of fitness and by reducing my classes they won't get too tired joining my classes and other fitness regime.

plans

i wanna write about tenggol tapi sekarang tengah tak de mood. mixed feelings.. tettt.. jeles? #bodo!

anyway, i will be having an awesome diving trip next year, dari mana aku nak korek duit, aku pun tak tau. but if that is the goal - i will sure work for it and will get it! kalau tak, tak de la my life tagline as, "always get what i want" kan?

somehow, i received another conference yang rasa macam susah nak tolak. tengah fikir should i or should not... breaking my bank dowhh.. it is also something that i wanna achieve... tapi ... adehh.. serious dowh.. berapa extra classes aku nak ambik??

aku ke yang nak semua? tapi.. haishh.. entah la.. aku dah agak serabut jugak ni.. nak kata aku boros tak jugak. i have been buying stuff yang memang aku perlu untuk dive. tak pe lah. sekarang ni aku kena doa lagi supaya rumah aku kat taman setiawangsa tu ada monthly tenant. or dapat lagi job. or bonus tebal by december 2018.
buat masa ni - ini masih samar2 😓

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

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

rindu padanya


korang pernah tak rasa macam banyak sangat benda nak cerita tapi tak tau mana nak start? aku rasa (macamana yg aku pernah cakap/tulis) hari hari aku sekarang ni memang terasa sangat laju and cepat berlalu. towards end of year ni banyak perkara or insiden yang berlaku. some are good and some are challenging. tapi aku rasa lagi banyak yang best kut. 

personal: zumba event aku tiap bulan ada je, walaupun kecil-kecilan, at least bernafas jugak la AFDA and kurang sikit aku nak kena top up. boleh la tambah2 mana mana yang patut. kalau korang rasa aku boleh kaya kalau organise event atau kalau dapat jemputan, korang salah. it is just nice so far untuk membantu AFDA untuk terus hidup and berbakti untuk komuniti. aku teringat salah sorang kenalan aku bagitau, bila aku cakap dengan dia, dah a few times kut aku rasa macam tak larat sangat dah nak cuba kekalkan AFDA. kadang2 memang aku rasa sangat tersepit, tapi alhamdulillah AFDA masih kukuh sehingga ke hari ini. mungkin ada berkat di sebalik kewujudan AFDA. where i can share the healthy lifestyle among women (and men) secara muslimah - walaupun aku belum lagi sepenuhnya menjadi seorang muslimah yang 100%. #siscuba. and kenalan aku cakap, mungkin Allah izinkan AFDA untuk terus hidup sebab secara aku tak sedar, aku buat some people happy dengan menyediakan tempat untuk diorang beriadah, untuk jumpa kawan2 baru, untuk release tension dan sebagainya. kalau macam tu, alhamdulillah aku berjaya meng happy kan orang 😃

family: kitorang baru lepas settle N4 punya majlis pertunangan last Saturday. dalam kesibukan preparation tu semua aku teringat bila time2 gaduh dulu. aku pernah cakap kalau N4 nak kawin esok, aku tak nak amik port pun - malas nak tolong or kisah or ambik tau. fuuh masa tu memang marah sangat lah... nyampah sangat lah... 🤣 tapi ye lah, orang kata, dah nama je adik beradik. mana boleh nak marah lama2 atau betul2 simpan dalam hati perasan macam tu. so, N4 nak kawin ni, aku lah floor manager dia and memang benda2 yang aku suka buat pun. and started with majlis pertunangan dia. which memang kami ada bahagian masing2 untuk adik beradik. alhamdulillah semua berjalan lancar. in short, boleh tengok la tq note dari N4 hehehe 😃N2 tu aku :P korang enjoy la dulu gambar2 ni nanti aku sambung balik. seperti biasa... masa mencemburui aku.

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
