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.

Pink October ZUMBA 2018 is coming soon!

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.

AKO Fitness - ZUMBA on Ice

we really had a lot of fun yesterday. what lisa said is right about me nowadays. i like to do things on a very last minute. but, i am happy doing it. it was just through impulse? is that how i should say it? well, yeah.. hahaha :D lol.

we had a session or event if you wish to call it an event --> ZUMBA On Ice. to cut story short.. kaiser gave the idea before... and because i was upset with him, don't ask me why, i just do, i didn't want to even give the idea a chance to materialize.

but somehow... i got bored of not organizing something fun. so, yeah ... i contacted the president of like ice asia.. and waallllaaa... it just happened within a week. honestly i did not expect turn outs.. hahaha what do you expect promotion less than a week. so yeah.. we ended up making a video shoot for AKO Fitness and.... it turned out to be so freaking awesome!!! and thank you to Keanu for the video!! so.. yeah.. check this out okay!

the bailar contigo 2.0 party

28th Feb 2016: i have been waiting for this event. 1st, it is because nevena & goran coming back to malaysia.. love their friendliness and warmness and their dance steps. and this time, i get kaiser to join me at the event. we bought a booth to promote ako fitness and also our products.. larome & redslim. somehow, kaiser seemed to love the salsation. he danced a lot during this event.

2nd it is because it's organised by Nicola Gomes and she is such a wonderful lady.. and i would always support her :)

really enjoyed watching my friends on stage. how i wish i could get the chance to be on stage like them but then again... hehehe letih tengok.. hahahah :D yeahh they were full of energy! they have to give it all on stage so that it'll look energetic and fun!

me and my ako fitness team as usual laid back near our booth - we enjoyed ourselves in our own way. it is also so good to see familiar faces - as usual during dance fitness parties. beautiful people.. fake people.. all sorts of characters hahahaha LOL you know what i mean. most importantly, we enjoyed ourselves.

i have compiled our photos from few of my friends phone camera. so sorry... i am just not good at selfies.. so i prefer their cameras :D check out the photos on my fb page yeahh.. some of my favorites are:

BAILAR CONTIGO 2.0 PHOTOS

Come and join us for ZUMBA - 27th October 2015

AKOFitness Dance Academy is OPEN!

yes i have been extremely busy juggling between my day work.. classes... and getting sick :P nevertheless, enjoy my story of what has happened for the past 2 months! :D

i used to be at my sifu's dance studio almost everyday. at that time, i used to think..."Bila lah aku nak dapat buat macam ni, ada dance studio sendiri" not to say never did i think i would be able to do it... but.. alhamdulillah... i did! of course, kaiser's ambition was for us to have our own gym together. but after doing some calculations it was too expensive for us to do. and at this age, i didn't want to have too high loan. kids are growing up and going for college and i don't want to burden myself with debt..

was i afraid? .. yeah.. but told myself and before i actually dived into the idea, i also told kaiser.. if i don't do it now.. i will never know whether i can or not.. so with whatever cash that i have, i looked for a space for rent, i gathered few contractors to do the renovations.. headache? yeahh coz 3 different people to manage..in the end... wallaaa  a new space called AKOFitness Dance Academy... wanted to be a bit different hehehe :D or now at times its called AFDA by my regular members.

alhamdulillah.. i got what i wanted. a simple and yet cosy studio for me to express my passion and to share with those who wishes to just chill and dance without worrying whether or not you can dance. the most importantly, enjoy yourself :) so, yeah... have a look at our studio and come and have a visit sometime.

my kind of happy feet

apa lagi?? kisah aku dengan zumba aku lah kan.. haa.. terus bahasa melayu :) the event yang ditunggu tunggu akhirnya tiba. that was on the 18th jan 2015. the organizer wanted to create malaysia book of records, for the largest zumba party. memang best... untuk aku, aku lebih suka lepak dan tengok gelagat orang ramai :D seronok sebab tengok orang seronok. and of course akan lebih seronok kalau dapat berada atas pentas dengan ZES david veles yang best tu. bertuah semua instructors yang terpilih untuk sama2 berada atas pentas. terasa rugi pulak aku tak apply... tapi ada criteria yang aku tak dapat penuhi so, nasib lah tak apply pun kan. :D hehehe :D 

aku pergi sama2 dengan members dari ako fitness team yang memang rajin untuk pergi sama2 for such events. diorang memang sporting and happening. bila tengok diorang excited, aku pun terexcited jugak. pagi tu zilah ambik aku kat rumah... nak dijadikan cerita, aku pulak kena food poisoning 3 hari sebelum event. memang lembik lah kan... cherry berry nya...muntt nya.. tak yah cerita lah.. i was hoping to lose weight jugak.. hahhaa tapi... humpphh.. hampeh. then kitorang park kereta kat office aku, and kami jumpa niza kat stesen sentral.. pepagi buta... and nampak ramai orang baju hijau jer semua. then kami naik monorail... sampai sebelah stadium.. parking lot punya la kosong.. hahah :D ye lah.. dah semua orang ambik public transportation, kosong ler parking. 

tak sangka that we achieved seramai 5,840 orang kesemuanya.. organizer target 6,000 people tapi tak apalah... there will be next time. performance dari ZES and ZINs memang superb... rasanya memang tak rasa penat kut bila dah ramai2 and you can feel the combination energy dari semua. yang tak bestnya ada yang gaduh2... tu je lah. kalau lah aku ni jenis suka bergambor, memang banyak dah gambor2 aku bersepah.. tapi aku ni maleh.. hehehe :D selalu tu memang mengharap orang lain ambik gambar jer. 

aku dengan zaleha ke bahagian depan padang kat stadium tu.. mula2 kami berdiri kat tempat duduk... hmmmpp tak bebas pulak nak melangkah.. last last kami gerak ke tepi padang yang atas jalan tar. hehehe :D dengan bag2 members yang lain... kami angkut semua.. letak kat sebelah kami supaya boleh jaga bags sambil ber zumba.. ye lah.. time2 macam ni kena extra hati2... you never know siapa yang suka ambik kesempatan. 

matahari mula naik.. bila dah dalam pukul 8 pagi... memang terik lah by 8.30am.. but semua masih ligat lagi atas padang.. aku dok lepak kejap.. menari kejap.. hehehe :D sebab ramaiiiiiii sangat... and sakit tengkuk kut menari sambil pandang teleng ke tepi. hahah :D apa2 pun.. memang best lah... next time kalau ada lagi.. nak pergi lagi :D

 

some of AKO Fitness team members yang sporting and semangat waja! :D

Meet, HAMKA, ZUMBA Instructor yang peramah and sempoi and love his steps yang memang akan enjoy and easy to follow.
